Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Lifegiver,
It has been sometime since I last wrote you, as I have taken sometime to reflect and observe the goodness of Aeridin. It is hard to believe that twenty years have pasted since I last wrote you. Know that I have been at work in Folian's Vale, tending to the occassional weary traveler and listening to the wisdom of the teacher of Aeridin there. I know in the eyes of the other races, twenty years may seem to be a shameful waste of time in ones life cycle, but then again to those of us with elven heritage it seems as but a day.
The sabbatical has refreshed me to return me to my work of aiding anyone that Aeridin has led across my path. I have met a young female, one whom calls herself Kol. There is something different about her, something out of sorts, as though her soul is pulled in two different directions. Please pray that the Lifegiver might use me to show her a path less traveled.
Know I have returned to my duties of helping the needy, aiding the churches of Aeridin and laying the dead to rest. I pray that the love of The Protector would shine through me, so that many would come to know his great grace and mercy. I shall write again soon.
Most Humbly,
Shalar Aza'iel

Just wanted to say thanks to Nonac, Grovel, Vendar, Jaelle, and Abagli [forgive me if I mispelled it] for the hunt for the Ur-Wolves the other night! Hopefully my tall stature won't keep me out of the pack! Thanks again.

Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Lifegiver,
I hope this letter finds you well and safe in the the hands of The Protector. Considerable time has passed since my last letter to those whom I love back home has been sent and I wanted to send word that I am well and safe as well. I had taken a sabatical leave of my duties, to help the priests of the Shrine of Aeridin in Folian's Vale, for a time. During this leave I have been in much pray and fasting, helping of the poor and infirmed, and seeking the wisdom of the leaders of our faith on the continent of Mistone. I hope that the Lifegiver has been glorified by the little that I have been able to provide those in need. Praise be to The Preserver of Life!
I have recently returned to my duties, only to find that one of the leaders within our faith has fallen from the grace of our Lord Protector. The one known as Lex'or Gravedigger has left the faith for reasons that make no since to one of faith. It seems the loss of the Lifegivers powers of protection and elemental control, has pushed this priest of some power from the faith of Aeridin. I wish I would have reminded him of the eleventh vow of our faith, "Pledge your life, soul, and word to Aeridin. Never should you worship another and never should your faith falter." Why do so many here leave the faith? Perhaps it is the work of Shadon or one of the other gods of lies that convince so many that the work they do is without cause. But faith is the evidence of things unseen, and I shall not follow with my eyes, but with the spirit of our Lord. Praise to The Protector!
Finally, bretheren, know I miss you daily. I pray each moment for the ones I love back home at the Church of Aeridin at Sadinia. I would be called a Shadonite if I said I was not homesick and wished daily to come home. But from my sabatical leave of my duties I feel recharged to press forward and fight the good fight! If time permits, please send word of how goes of work of those I love. Praise be to the Lifegiver!
Most Humbly,

Np stupid questions here...for I am the epitomy of stupid. But, yes, the files are unzipped to the portriats file in Neverwinter Nights/nwn/portriats.

I noticed that I cannot see very many portriats for anyone else either. Should I delete the portriats file then download the portriats file again? Thanks Oxmallard, Wolf, and one other GM whose name I am forgetting the other night in trying to get my portriats to work. Any help would still be appreciated.
Most Humbly,

I still cannot see my portriat myself, but the GMs say they can see it. I have tried to delete the files and reload them, but that did not help. Does anyone have any ideas? For an OCD type of personality, it is only bugging me.

**walking throughout the crowds of people in the town of Port Hempstead and Vehl, many a curse and foul looks are given Shalar as his holy symol and white robes mark him as a follow of Preserver of Life. The only look he returns is the humble nod of his head and a warm smile. He produces a standard of Aeridin which waves boldly in the wind. The he speaks...**
"Come one, come all. He who has ears, let him hear. I do not bring anything more than I am given from the Perserver of Life, nor do I take any more than I need. I come not in pride, but in humilty. I know the days of the sunless skies are dark and grim. I have faith that Aeridin will once again shine the light of the sun upon our faces. The rain will wash away these dark and dreary days and we will once again know life as it once was. Please my friends, do not feel we horde and rape the land of what many are not given through their toil and hardwork. We only provide what we are given. I do not speak to humiliate or pity you, for I know that is not what you seek. But, I come for the sake of the innocent...**he smiles at a small child with a dirty face, starved and hungry, then to an aged widow frail and old with no one to provide for her needs, producing a small bit of food for each**...and it is demaded of my God to do so. If you do not wish aid, nor do you need the aid, then please give as you are able to those who do. That is all I seek to do."
**with that he looks up to the heaven and prays a blessing for all who hears his words and walks humbly to the gate of Port Hempstead. Quietly he prays to Aeridin...**
"Let not the evils of this world make a mockery of Your giving. I shall stand firm in Your faith and if only I stand before the masses, a sacrifice for You, I shall do so humbly and without fear. Praise be Your name."

Dear Brothers and Sister of the Lifegiver,
Forgive the delay of my letter, informing you of my progress of learning about our faith outside the boundries of our elven nation. It seems the dead are in a constant state of unbalance in these lands and as soon as many are laid to rest to return to the Great Cycle, more are risen from their graves to walk the lands once again. I seem to work day and night in the many crypts and graveyards where the dead seem to walk continually. I fear it will take the death of the Eternal Foe by the hands of our Lord to put an end to this unbalance. But until that glorious day, I shall work tireously to return the dead to the Great Cycle.
I do not mean to go on so about the afore mentioned, but rather seek a request of your prayers and supplications to the Lifegiver to an event I have termed The Great Cause. It seems many of the poor and needy have been fed false information about the faith in the town of Port Hempstead. Papers were pasted slandering our faith along with the Toranites and Rofireinites, condemning our vows and oaths as nothing more than idle chatter. I sent a letter to the local temple in Folians Vale, requesting that the leaders of our faith call a meeting to discuss how we might meet the needs of those less fortunate souls that we have been called to serve. It seems our actions will speak against these false claims, as we will give alms and aid to the poor. I am happy to see our faith is not just words on paper, but the true deeds that we can provide. Please pray for protection from The Protector for the innocent souls that may attend and that our faith maybe restored in the eyes of the many people we serve.
Finally, brothers and sisters, I ask a personal request of a delimma that haunts my thoughts. I have heard it said of our faith, that to protect life is the only and ultimate goal. I do not dispute this thought, as we serve the Lifegiver and the Perserver of Life, but it seems that this claim has become something more than it was truly meant to be. I have heard said that no life should be taken in any circumstance. Not the life of plants, animals, nor those of the evil creatures that look to harm the innocent. I believe this to be a lie straight from the Trickster himself. I have been wrestling with this delimma for sometime now, wondering if one follows the logic listed above, how does on live life since walking upon the grass crushes its life from its green blade. The ant that travels below foot of the weary travel is crushed and destroyed taking the life from its small form. I would dare say the Berylites would say we destroy the earth when we take the metals and gems from the caves deep below the earth.
The lives of the Trolls and Lizardfolk that were lost a few night ago, I do regret. Though had one survived or submitted in a deathless defeat, I would not have taken its life needlessly. This I believe is our duty, the 'meat' of our faith, if you will. I have prayed daily about this, and feel a peace in my very soul, that our faith has been distorted to a degree that would keep many to become a faithful follower of The Protector. I believe the paladins of The Lifegiver know this truth and walk the path more true to that of their calling. I too have thought of seeking the vows and oaths of paladinhood, though I shall follow Aeridin in the way he deems best suited for me to follow. Pray that I would have the wisdom to make the right decisions in the days to follow.
May the Perserver of Life keep your days of life long and enjoyable.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I shall be present at such an important event. I shall pray to Aeridin that many of those in need are present at the event and that The Protector shall keep each one safe. My prayers of that day will be to bless the masses, cure the sick, and of course heal the injured. I anticipate greatly this event where our words will be few, but our actions will be many.

Unpon hearing the news, Shalar sighs and says to himself, "I feared it would not be that simple." Quickly he finds a bird and sends word to the Temple of Aeridin in Folian's Vale.

**written in a curt angular print is written and posted below the notice**
To All Whom May Read,
I too was with Lady Tariana, Paladin of Roeifien, and Lady Rose, Cleric of Toran, whom encountered the foul undead. Their actions were of the most noble, as to when I fell, both fought the dead unto the end and did not leave my body to the likes of the lich! Both are to be commended for their bravery. The church of Aeridin, Toran and Roeifien have been notified.
Please take heed of this notice! Death lies in the Red Light Caverens!

**in a neat and slightly angled print is written on a small note below**
To the Traders of the Twin Dragons,
I seek two items of interest one listed and one not of your list. As to the one I seek on your list, a ring to grant wisdom. As to the one not listed, I seek an oaken quarterstaff, perhaps with silver-tipped inlays on the ends, if the price is well. If you are unable to provide me with the quarterstaff, perhaps you could send me the name of one that might provide me with such an item.

Dead Eye, Summer Run 11, 1417
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I feel the prays to Aeridin about the aprehensions I have in meeting the varied races of this new place are being answered slow but surely. Many I have met and aided in our fight against the evils of this land. I have spent most of my time aiding those that wish to enter the Gloomwoods or the crypts at Vehl. The undead of these unholy places seem to rise from the ground faster than Aeridin can aid me in laying them to rest. Pray that I will be able to find the source of this evil to put a permanent end to the rise of the dead there.
I have also stumbled across a young human girl in a small town called Krandor. She requested my aid to return the ashes of her dead grandfather that she inadvertently dropped when dead began to appear. I thank Aeridin that she was spared and her life was not taken from her as the dead there are too much for even the power that I possess. Pray that I shall be able to find a group willing to battle the evil there and that the crypt there will be cleansed for good.
As to the shrine of Aeridin located at Folian's Vale, I continue to check with the healer there if any assisstance is required as to its upkeep. I get little response from him, but I do not wish to burden him with my demands. Mirrim told me of a temple at the port town of North Point, which I have yet to visit. Perhaps she will aid me soon in the task.
I also met another priest of our faith a man that goes by the name of Carr. He is faithful in the task of laying the dead to rest and is there to aid all that request such. Perhaps between Carr and Mirrim, we can figure out the evil in the afore mentioned locations and stop the evil raising of the dead.
Again I miss you all and pray for you daily. May our lord Protect thee and grant you life.
Most Humbly,
Shalar Aza'iel

It seems my portriat for Shalar has disappeared, all I have is a white box where his portriat should be. Is there anyway to get the portriat to show again? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I do not know if this has been posted or not, but a travisty is taking place in the Temple of Aeridin! I visited there recently and decided to make a donation to the chruch. As I was talking to the shop keeper about my donation she said that this donation would go the the church of Shadon! I quickly told her I was not donating my gift to Shadon, but to Aeridin. I believe it was a dark slip by her part.
//not sure if it was a bug or what, but no gold for Shadon the trickster!

Winged Trade, Winter Deep 6, 1416
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Forgive my delay in sending you this first letter since my arrival here to the continent of Mistone, but I have been busy finding my way around this very different place. I have spent the past few months finding odd jobs to support the cause of Aeridin and provide for my needs. I have learned much of the lands that I now travel, learning of its people and their customs, so that I might better be able to serve them for the glory of the Lifegiver. Many of the common people here are in dire need, much as the same state we seem to be experiencing on the continent of Voltrex, but even more so turning to banditry and thievry as a means for survival. The undead seem to walk the lands as common as the living, which has taken most of my time since my arrival returning them to the Great Cycle as our lord demands.
I feel I must confess to you the one area I seem to have been unresponsible in, is the seeking out of the memebers of our faith that are apart of this land. I have made contact with one, a female cleric named Mirriam Cade, who was very helpful in showing me the making of potions and the customs of the followers here on Mistone. She has told me there are many of our faith here and they try to help the suffering of the people here the best that they can. I have visited the shrine of the Lifegiver, in the forest of the Silkwood, in an area called Folian's Vale. It seems in well order and proper care as a healer of our faith resides there, although he does not seem to want to speak much to me about the details of the shrines care.
I feel that I shall be spending the next few months trying to meet more of our faith and meeting with fellow adventurers to explore more of the lands beyond Voltrex, something that I have been hesitant to do, as seeing so many of different races has overwhelmed me. Know that I do not judge these people for who they are, but rather I wish not to offend them by not knowing the proper ways to respond to the differences they have, since I have lived my entire life around only the sanctity of the elven people. Pray to Aeridin that I shall be able to overcome my fears as I meet the people of this diverse culture.
Know that I miss each and everyone there at the temple. I pray daily for you, that the people will be relieved of their suffering, and that I shall be able to one day see you again.
Most Humbly,
Shalar Aza'iel
Servant of the Lifegiver
