Congregation of the Faithful

[Dezza]

We have known for sometime within our own faiths that there will come a time when those who believe in a future of service to their respective gods will be threatened by the omnipresent force that is Blood and his allies. But even now as this threat grows others rise like a wave threatening to drown us even further, to divide us and then conquer us.

It has been hinted at time and again from those who know this world the best, the Seven sisters, Xora, Morakken and others that if we do not stand together then we shall surely fail and the world and its inhabitants and those they worship will suffer greatly.

Yes....even the Gods are not safe from the forces that threaten and it is time that we all came together to discuss how we can face these threats, to combine separate faiths knowledge and show a united front against them.

This threat must overcome our basic desires to squabble, fear, distrust and even make war upon each other.

And so we extend an offer to all Faiths to select two representatives of the Faithful, who will speak and present information on behalf of the Faiths members. Two people who are regarded as trustworthy enough to represent their deity’s followers and who can carry information back to their followers equally.

Two people also who can overcome natural rivalries and put aside differences in the chance of providing for our future and the future of our Faiths.

Those chosen have no easy task before them, we need to come together with our respective faiths and not clash with our respective religions.

I ask that all those chosen by their Order and the Faith they represent list themselves below so that we prepare for the first Congregation of the Faithful.

Servant of Rofirein, Tarradon Duvall

// Okay folks this is it, get it while its hot! 2 Reps from each Faith who most in your faith agree upon...If you think you have the criteria and want to participate talk to those also of your faith to put yourself forward.....Here is a chance for some great RP! Maybe even some CDQ’s out of this if you want...hence the reason for the one month before the first meeting..gives people time to make contact with those they need to and RP heaps!

I will soon schedule the first meeting to happen in about 4 weeks...by then would like to have full list of people who will be the representatives and also have ready a meeting schedule.

If you want to remain secretive about your participation then PM me the details of who will be attending and anything special I need to know about

To All Followers of the Dragon!

I am calling upon those serving the Great Dragon to speak with myself or High Priest Quintayne regarding taking the remaining place as a representative of the Faithful of Rofirein at the Congregation to be held.

By the Light of the Dragon,

I thank those Religious leaders who have sent me their nomintations for representatives of their followers. There are still more we seek.

Tarradon Duvall

[Dezza]

To all members of the Public,

I have had many people approach me asking how they can become representatives. I say to you now. It is open to any member of the faith to participate as long as the other members of your faith agree that you can represent them. This does not mean you have to be one of the Clergy. Many laypeople are well respected in their faiths and looked well upon by the leaders of the churches.

By the Light of the Dragon,
Tarradon Duvall

// Seek out by any means possible those considered leaders within the faith community, other members of your faith etc, etc and RP and do whatever you can to make sure you have made some effort to do this then let me know. The time for the first meeting will be posted within the fortnight.

Tarradon Of Rofirien,

I recieved you letter recently on this congregation and would prefer to see such a thing in action before I committed myself to the endeavor. *the line of the elegant script appear more forced into the page* Followers of Toran and Lucinda have ever been at odds and I would far prefer to see the proposal in action before committing myself or any of Lucindas faithful to such a course.

If you can see discussion resolving my doubts of the unification I can make myself available I am sure. Failing that I would like to see the first meeting before making any such committment of my time, or the time of others. The weave requires constant study and committment and I will not lose time with my studies for a fruitless enterprise. Contact me soon if this can be changed prior to the meeting you hold.

Eldárwen Hilliaraname, Servant of Lucinda.

I had hoped that I had made clear that this meeting is to be above and beyond our own differences of Religions and was rather about the future of our Faiths.

It is well know that many of the Gods are at odds with each other and that is reflected upon their worshippers. But I stress again...that this that we are trying to achieve is in the best interests of all faithful of all the gods not any one single gods ambitions or animosities.

If we do not confront the threats facing the gods now, in unison, free from thoughts of existing animosities there will be no future for anyone, nor any of the gods.

I ask you to reconsider your position, you can renew your arguments with the Toranites outside this meeting or when there is a future proven for the gods in which they exist still.

// A day is set and a time suggested. Check the Player calendar its on June 4th. All those who have already notified me already thank you very much.

There are still some faiths unrepresented and I really would like to see as many as possible represented. Please let me know asap as we are running out of time!

[Dezza]

As you may have noted the many warnings and reports flooding in that Blood is on the move, Dragons have been sighted for the first time in a long time, a new God has arisen, followers of Toran are suffering a loss of contact with their god, Rofirein stands alone now with Torans strange disappearance against the threat to the gods, much is in disarray.

This is a call to Faith which I hope many will answer.

Time is running out!

Tarradon Duvall

[Dezza]

Many of you have seen the signs of late, heard the rumours and some have seen the results of Bloods actions.

Myself and others believe and in some respects know this war...is reflected within the heavens themselves. The gods are threatened to their very existence. If they should fall then there is no future for us at all.

I call upon followers of all faiths to stand forward and come to this congregation. So far I have people willing from only a third of the faiths and I can assure you if we have no followers of the other faiths willing to represent them then I fear there is nothing in this world that will stop Bloods eventual domination and destruction of all.

Bil is volunteering to help on behalf of Shadon yes he is...Bil not ask anyone else if they want Bil to do this because Bil knows that Shadon not care less yes he does. Bil not care much about Shadon either but Bil cares about other gods so Bil will support Shadon yes he will.

[FraterAudcal]

I'm unsure whether someone has been chosen to represent Aragen. I'm willing to do so.

Dear Tarradon,

Should an additional representative of Aragen be needed, I would be most honored to fill such a position. I believe there is much knowledge to be gained and shared in this endeavor and would love to assist in any means possible. Unfortunately, as of late, I have been frightfully busy assisting the temple, but I will make every effort to be at this meeting.

May Aragen bless us with the knowledge to pursue our dreams, and the wisdom to reach our goals safely,

Scherzo Prestissimo

[Dezza]

My heart signs with joy to receive representatives for Aragen and Folian.
Please join us for the meeting you are most welcome.

I am most grateful to have been chosen to represent my god, as a servant to his pervading wisdom and omniscient knowledge. Unfortunately though, in all this wisdom, I still don't know where we're meeting! A heads up on that would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Balit Glenhobber, shadow dwelling servant of scholarly pursuit
