Um... I think this is the best place for this.
First off, Lore needs a search option, I can't find my new characters name anywhere in it. Any help with that would be appriciated. I also noticed not all names are exactly in Alphibetical order.
I'm having a problem with parchments as well... I tried to use Lore to edit it, but as long as I can't find my characters name thats not going to happen. Heres what I did in game, could anyone please tell me what I did wrong?
~Augra 3, 1414, ((the reason why I didn't go ~~date is because I'm RPing her writing it down an earlier date then what I'm doing now))
~!I've finally arrived on mistone. Unfortunately spending all I have on the boat ticket, I once again have very little true. Only an empty water bottle, and corn bread to my name now... well, there is also my mothers amulet.
((this second part wont show on the parchment, anyone know why?))

It'll be awhile before I can play right now, mostly because when I went to see my parents and family I forgot my NWN discs back at home. So I have some time to look for a portrait for my character. I'm simply wondering if there are any art sites anyone here recommends, or perhaps even art you made yourself (please don't feel bad if I decide not to use you own artwork.)

Greetings all,
I've finally made it home and have never been happier. 6 months is definately a long time. I see theres now a new site, the new campaign began and apparently the dark ages are over. So much has changed since I've been gone and I have alot of reading to do it seems before I submit my new character. I would definately appreciate any assistance in knowing whats imperative to read so it doesn't take me all day (just a little shove down the right path, heh). To help with my characters story I would like to know more about the dark ages, like how long it lasted.
I can't wait to see you all in game again, I hope everyone will like my new character, well I'm quite possitive she will be more likable then Lia was, though that does't take much to achieve, haha. I thought about trying to be origional, but then with all the players here, most being excellent role players, I wouldn't be suprized if everything has been tried already, so I decided to instead play what I like and just have fun, which of course means, wizard, female, elf, haha. I can't help it, its my favorite class, sex and race to play. I thought; though, so to be a tad different from my last character (well other then the personality and story difference) I would also multiclass her as a theif. I then thought of the dual class prospect back in 2nd edition and thought it would be interesting and fun to have her start off as a theif and then strive to become a wizard. Since Layonara is supposed to be a low magic world (that could have changed since I was gone as well though), I thought it would be a great idea to play a character struggling to become something that should be difficult to acheive in a low magic world. Of course there would be much RP assistance from the community, I'm counting on it, but I do intend to give her a few small personallity traits to insure it doesn't become too easy, hehe

Hello everybody from Layonara,
Well I now only have 36 days left of this patrol and I'll finally be home, I honestly can't wait. For those who don't know me or can't remember who I am, I played a character everyone loved to hate named Lia Di'makiir, she permed just before I got on my 6 month tour, but that won't stop me from playing on Layo.
I have so many questions and so much catching up to do, but I probably won't be able to see any replies till I get home. Forums and e-mail sites like hotmail, along with many other sites are firewalled on our ship lan on the boat. They do that so it will be harder to get virus's on our boat, whish is the last thing a warship needs.
Incase anyone was wondering, I'm on the Canadian warship called the HMCS Ottawa, we just finished our patrol and are now on our return home transit going through northern Asia along the way, I'm in Malaysia right now, which is a blast. The only thing we did out there worth bragging about is we saved 18 sailors from sinking with thier dhow earlier in the patrol. We tried to save the small boat, but realized we couldn't pump the water out fast enough, so we helped them abandon ship, I was in the operations room at the time, but I hear there was a tear fest on the bridge when the boat sank.
I hope everyone is enjoying thier time here, this is a great server. I'll be back soon enough with a different character.

I'll have something in here as soon as I can. I intend to make it one of my during sail entertainment projects and hope to have something good to you guys by the end of the month. I'll be leaving out some details, like alot of the event on how she died, I imagine there will be some fabrications of the truth made about it and thats what I would prefer... that is how legends are made afterall  .

((this will be an IC discussion for all those involved or are invited and plan to attend Lia's WLDQ. If you wish to join, send me a PM. I wont go over what happened so far in this IC discussion, only what we need to know and plan to go forward in our task, so if you wish to learn about whats happened before you join, talk to either my character or those involved In Game, right now I placed this here, if there is a more appropriate place please move it there))
*Lia sighs as she sits down*
"Way to many distractions. Though I do hold sympathy for the child and his mother, I really hope no more distractions will come after this, time is cutting short as it is, and we all know what will happen if I fail. Our group was too small, that is for sure, and so we all know for sure we need more numbers, so we can atleast reach Olist Orbinn."
The big question then comes, how do we enter once were there. I hold little knowledge of the drow city myself, and know few drow ontop of that *in a slight whisper* though more then I would like. How are we to enter?"

A few members of the arcane alliance decided do go on a small feildtrip to the underdark to find some emeralds for the guild, instead we encountered a small boy held hostage by a drow campsite. It seemed they had just set up for the night, and you could hear the wails and screams of the boy. We decided to act upon our compassion, and sprung the boy from captivity.
When we traveled back to the boys home in Arabel, we learned of his mother, still trapped in the clutches of the drow. We learned that the boys mother is either held in Orlist Orbinn at the top of the faerl tower, or at the deeper drowcity of Olath Chath.
We require people of staut stature, and great courage and exprience in dealing with either of these two cities. Please sign up for this mission, time is of the essence.
We will gather together to travel from the town of Arabel on Belinara.

on the transfer from east to west I'm stuck in teh dragon summoning area. Sometimes when this happened I used the transittion that would normall bring you to memory lane and it would normally transfer me to the point I should be at from the east server. Not this time though, it brought me to memory lane and if I continue down that path to get to hlint I will lose everything on my characters person except for what she wearing and weilding. I cant remember if I can use the memory orb there to counter that problem. Any help would be nice.

Kyle or Ferrit,
Do not bother looking for me to pay the rent for this month. I have learned of some disturbing news and despite the advice given I am drawn to investigate the matter. There is nothing more I wish to say of this other then the fact that it will bring me to Xantril. You need not worry of my well being, all who I speak to will forget the encounter, I will walk through the lands unnoticed as I attempt to figure out what I must. If you plan to seek me out you will not find me.
farewell for now, you should see me in a couple weeks.
Lia
//I'm not going anywhere incase anyone is wondering. Lia learned there are still a few demons interested in her, so she is going to try and find out why.

If your interested in visiting new lands, discovering secrets, or you just like to fight and protect. The arcane alliance is always looking for adventures to help protect our wizards while we explore dangerous lands to learn more of the world and the weave.
Our next expedition will be to the aborial plane which has a well gaurded entrance. If you think you can help please contact either Ralinda, Connor, Tathnolu, Rufus or myself, Lia Di'makiir.

So happy, it's taken a long time to reach this moment. I'm no author so I hope reading this is enjoyable, no guarantees though, heh. Whoever DM's this, if you wish more clarification on a certain detail please ask via PM. Though I'd prefer Lia’s past before Layonara not be involved in her ECDQ, if the GM wishes otherwise, I ask that you ask for more information on that part of the story definitely.
Lia Di'makiir
Level: 20
EXP to Level: 10774157 (still a ways to go I know)
Times before Layonara:
Lia was born within a wealthy Elven family of merchants. She had an older brother, a sister, and one parent. This is because her mother died while giving birth to her. Such things are not uncommon in these times, but it still left a hole in some hearts and Lia felt removed.
Once old enough she was sent to a school to learn trade and magic. Being both attractive and intelligent, she also learned of love and respect and started to believe in herself. Unfortunately, her newfound jubilation would be short-lived.
She returned home disconsolate when her father called her a whore. Leaving her family behind, she set out to make a name for herself. Sailor, merchant, mage; Lia became an adventurer.
Lia joined a group of adventurers seeking a majestic island only known in legend but discovered something else entirely. A gigantic wall of magic, like pure energy, surrounding as far as the eye can see. Believing this must be the doorway to the island they pressed forward, but something went wrong. When they were within 5 nautical miles of the rift, something emerged from it. A ship, black like a raven and covered in blood. More emerged from behind, a fleet of horrifying boats. No turning back, they charged full speed into the rift, taking tons of damage, and fighting what they could in this hopeless journey into the rift. Mear minutes felt like hours as they fought their way forward nearly touching the rift when suddenly a huge explosion split the boat.
All Lia remembered then is falling overboard into the rift, not knowing what lies beyond or if anyone else made it, or even if she will survive this. Like in a dream, she appears before a dragon...
New land and a new beginning:
Shortly after her dream, Lia wakes up in Hlint. At first, she thought she made it, but none on the ship were to be seen, as well as the boat they sailed on. Despite the loss of her mentor and her old friends, the dream she had given her hope, she felt she had a purpose and a new beginning where no one knew her. She met and made many friends in this new land. Some that come to mind are Fadrien and her sworn protector Rannostlin. Fadrien and Lia became best friends in their travels and Rannostlin had feelings for Lia, unfortunately, when he decided to act upon them and finally showed her how he felt, Lia began to dwell on her dark path with Xandrial and all hope to be with her left. She also met Quintayne, who was actually one of the first people she met, he showed her around and they talked for quite some time in the inn and became good friends themselves. They went through many adventures, fighting Ogres near the peaks, exploring the many dungeons, finding anything to do and there were always people asking for help.
There was another Lia met as well, and it was because of this meeting Lia fell into darkness. Rather suiting for that was who he was, Nathan Birch, in that time he was known as the Prince of Darkness. Lia first came across him when he was speaking to a drow elf. Lia knew not what to think at the time for she never saw or even knew what a drow was before then, but she sensed a lot of power between the two, and couldn't help but watch. Nathen then noticed her, turned around, and walked right to her. He warned her, a threat that if anything they spoke of reaches anyone else she will regret it.
It's been so long and she can't even remember what was discussed, something about the drow's mother, but Nathens threats took their toll. Lia felt weak and insecure again, by the power of this wizard she would be rendered useless, and yet for hardly any reason, at least hardly any that she can think of, he threatened her life. She felt like she was nothing again, so weak and insignificant. She wished she had the power to throw his words back at him, and she wished it right away.
Shortly after the event and her phase of depression she traveled with a small group heading to Fort Llast. Suddenly a demon appeared before them... Scared and in awe of the power before her Lia just stood still looking upon him... The warrior within the group was not so much in awe though and foolishly tried to engage the beast, who took down the warrior instantly. Lia fell to her knees and begged for her life, and said that she would do whatever he wishes if he would let her live. The demon looked down at her and it was like he was reading her mind. He offered her more than her life, but the power to take down her enemies, and all she hated, all she had to do was become his servant and his power will be hers. She accepted his offer not knowing the consequence but he let her know right away the path she would tread if she is to follow him. To prove herself he summoned one of his minions before her and told her that she was to order this servant to kill the rest within her group. She thought long and hard about it, to have this power and live to use it, to show the prince and all who hurt her a taste of their own medicine, or to die by the hands of the demon if she refuses... the answer seemed simple and she ordered the minion to attack, at first not looking at the massacre but then something happened, something awakened in her... probably of the demons device awakening her darker indulgences so to enjoy the evil she will bring upon the world for him, or it could have been a part of himself, for she began to know things she shouldn't have, the ability to read Florane was one of them. Another theory was the demon released an ancient spirit and placed it in Lia to control her while she serves.
Whatever happened, one thing was for sure. That day Lia started to slowly lose her will to fight whatever evil took over her and even though she hid for years to protect herself and her friends, eventually, the evil took over and she reawakened to do the demons bidding.
The three tears, the last remnants of what was good in Lia:
After years of hiding, Lia went back to Hlint and found a lot of new faces, new allies, sheep to manipulate. Only those who knew her before Xandrial noticed the change in her. Eventually, the one who got her into this mess, Nathen, became one of her greater allies and they performed a few deeds together.
One of the ones who noticed the change the most and feared Lia and for Lia the most because of it was Lias familiar and best friend Bell, whom with her concerns would refuse to help Lia with whatever evil she would do trying to convince her to stop, for it is not her. At the same time, Bell would not leave Lia's side though, despite this new disagreement... This frustrated Lia a lot and Xandrial as well and so he sent another minion of his, an imp named Daos, to become her new familiar and to also ensure that she does Xandrials bidding. Lia told her pixie to leave her and never return, but Bell would not leave Lia to this imp, so the imp offered to kill this nuisance which Lia agreed and told him that will be his first task to prove himself. Just before Daos killed Bell, something inside Lia released, perhaps it was the last bit of good within her and she tried to stop the imp, but she was too late thus crying the first of three black tears. The imp then mentioned the name of her master, Xandrial, and she has work to do for him.
The imp then told Lia of an old book that she must get and use for her master, he only described it to be a black book of demons, and by Xandrials will she will recognize it. She was informed that Moraken has it as well and later visiting him learned the information was correct. So for months, she worked with him, trying to seduce the wizard, and eventually succeeded for Moraken told Lia he fell in love with her. They decided to express that love later that evening and so Lia quickly hired a thief to steal the book while Lia has Moraken occupied. As soon as the job was done Lia left the tower and while leaving she cried another tear, only thrice since then had she returned to his tower avoiding Moraken now like the plague.
She opened the book and saw that it was covered in strange symbols, scripts she's never seen before, that many have not seen before. A voice entered her head, the runes are written in a language long lost to those of this world, I cannot teach you the language, but you will be able to read what I deem you can, turn the pages now, there is a ritual you must do for me. And there she saw the ritual of Strengthening, visible like it was written in common. The ritual was to connect the two, which Lia believed would grant her the power of the demon, but unfortunately for Lia, it is whoever is more powerful who gets control, and the ritual allowed Xandrial complete control and power over Lia, while Lia gained nothing. Unknowing of this she got to work... she needed a few items, the ritual had to be done in a great place of magic, which with Nathen she performed in the tower of darkness and she needed the sacrifice of an innocent virgin, which she decided to kidnap a child for, shortly after the ritual began. With Nathan as her witness she did everything to the book and killed the child in sacrifice to the ritual, once again trying to stop herself she cried her last tear and in the child's death, the demon with now absolute control turned Lia into a vegetable until he needed her for one last thing.
The amulet and the curse:
The demon released Lia briefly to take the shifters amulet for him, Lia was not the only one he manipulated to help him through and half the group that went out to get the amulet for Moraken were actually there to assist Xandrial, in the end, the amulet was in Lia's hands, and just before heading back to Moraken Xandrial appeared before them and Lia proudly gave him the amulet. Moraken, probably heartbroken at that point, then chased Xandrial to the hells to get it back, both of them losing it. When Xandrial fled he released all within his control, except Lia. Perhaps thinking there was still some use for her, or enraged that in the end, he knew she would betray him and try to become the master herself, he decided to bestow a curse on her. With his new control over her, he freed her will, but repeated in her mind constantly the memory of the harm she's done, of the events that lead to her tears... then when she was broken, he left her in that state and had it so she will not feel another thing again, only the regret for whats shes done, turning into a rage and becoming a vessel only wishing revenge for all harm that is done to her.
Daos disappeared that day and Lia wishes one day to find and kill him for what he's done. She later gave the book of demons to one of the last metallics in the world at that time, asking her to protect it and that one day Lia will return to reclaim and use it against the demon. However, Lia learned Xandrial found the dragon first and killed her, and took the book for himself.
She then traveled the world in a new state, a new person. Insecurity was no longer a problem, but now she became cruel, inconsiderate, unforgiving. Her anger controlled her for when she had many friends, she now only fueled them with hatred towards her, for what she's become and for some, for what she did to become that. Lia soon learned that this anger is not a strength like some presumed it to be, but a weakness, a punishment from Xandrial, and it took away her greatest power, perhaps so if she decides to take on the demon she will be on her own. Lia first thought that if she was to succeed she would have to do it herself and became completely independent, but then she learned, remembered, what could be achieved with friends and allies, but it was too late and the damage was done. She decided that if she was to complete her task and finally free herself she would have to control her anger.
She spent years trying to control her rage and many things happened to help her succeed, but many things hindered her as well, and she eventually lacked sympathy for the Legendary Obtuse. Leaving behind Mary Sue, she decided to seek darker allies if she is to achieve what she needs. Thankfully with great strength of will, Lia did not turn completely evil through all this.
Lia learned in controlling her anger another price would take its toll, and she would begin to forget what it was like back in her homeworld, and in the good times she had on Layonara, and of the other emotions. When if she gained complete control of her rage all she would remember is Xandrial and all that was done with him, and all that he did to her. If it were not for one person Lia would have gone back to square one in her attempt to control herself.
Of Lucinda and the Arcana Superior:
Rewind a bit here. Before Xandrial, shortly after the event with the Prince of Darkness, Lia truly noticed the large book in the Melnon library, known as the Arcana Superior, also known as the book of Lucinda to some. Though the book in the library was only a copy magically made from the real one Lia looked upon it for years longing for the real thing. This urge for the book came even further when the demon released her will and placed her under his curse, she hoped with the tome she could discover some secret power to use against the demon, and so hired Triba to steal it for her. Triba agreed to help Lia and retrieved the book for her, which Lia still has, but through it learned that the book itself is useless and was only a vessel to hold greater power.
Long ago the first grandmasters of the weave decided to place all their knowledge into a single book, but all this knowledge would not fit in a single book, nor did they find it suiting to have all their knowledge be written in a tome, and instead manipulated all their knowledge into a single source of energy that would be stored into the tome. They hid the tome in a place where they believe one worthy enough to find it will gain this power and absorb all their knowledge. Unfortunately, a wizard did stumble onto the tome, but he was weak-willed and knew nothing of what he found, and when he opened the book the energy went to him but turned him into a vegetable, no longer able to be his own master he became servent to the power itself, wandering aimlessly answering any question one asked him with unbelievable accuracy, but he could do nothing more than that. Lia ran into this wizard himself but shrugged him off like he was simply a mad man, only learning of her mistake when she opened the tome herself and learned of its true purpose. Triba nor Ozy would tell Lia where the man went to after that day. The only clue she has now to his whereabouts is that Ozy and Triba did talk about bringing him to Morakens tower to ask Moraken what to do about him.
Lia dreaded this, for she still remembers the last time she saw Moraken and knew not what he would do if she came to see him again, especially since once again she seeks him for another source of power. She braved this though and decided to see him in his tower, with a few others she went looking for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Clues appeared before her though like she was expected and she followed them, hoping to find her answers alone without Morakens help. She never expected to find what she did though. After the last clue, a spyglass started glowing and she looked within it. Through the spyglass she saw the weave-like strands connecting to all the wizards on Layonara, starting with the strand connecting to her and the wizards with her. She then saw more strands connecting to all within the land, and uncontrollably followed them up until finally, before her eyes shone Lucinda herself. For that brief moment, Lia could feel again, so proud she was to be before the goddess, and yet sad as well, for she did not forget the demon. Lucinda spoke to her, but her voice could not be heard and with a final smile, Lucinda granted Lia the memories she lost due to her attempt to control herself.
Later through Lucinda Lia was granted these gems to allow her to feel again, but Lia later refused them. She also met her dead familiar and hope to one day join her wherever she sleeps or she will attempt to bring her back. Lia can't figure out why Lucinda helped her though, she sought many priests and wizards that worship her, as well as those who worship enemy gods to learn what she could of the goddess, and most importantly why did she help Lia of all people. Lia knows that Lucinda wishes something in return, perhaps it has something to do with the arcana superior. Whatever the task Lia plans to find out, and has decided to help Lucinda with what she's done for her, but she still doesn't know if she is to worship the goddess. She still finds it hard to trust anything with such power and she wishes absolute freedom and believes that a priest is not free, but a servant to the gods will.
Cadimus the Fallen and his Sword:
Due to Lia's past crimes, there are some things she just won't stand for anymore, one of which is harming children. Cadimus was a fallen Celestial who longed to find his way back into his home plane. Now mortal, he took up the blade and followed the path of an adventuring warrior in hopes of discovering a way back home, but to no avail. After a long journey, he discovered a ritual that could make him immortal again, it only required the mass sacrifice of children. Mad with homesickness, he did not think twice about the ritual and abandoned his sword and with it everything that was once good in him.
The ritual did not turn him back into a Celestial as he originally thought, instead, it turned him into a type of demon that possesses the weak-willed. As long as there is a body he can possess, it is almost impossible to banish him to the pits, but over 100 years ago a group of adventurers successfully did just that. We learned that this was accomplished by using his old blade which still holds part of his soul and carries his true name within it. However, like a living being itself, the weapon chooses its wielder. This time it chose Lia due to her devotion to redeem both herself and the part of Cadimus still within it.
Longing to leave the Pits and return home, the group discovers a cult that worshipped Cadimus and summoned him back into our plane. The party learns that he believes the ritual failed because there were not enough innocent souls and that he must recreate the ritual in larger detail. He sent the cult that worshipped him to work, seeking out children to complete his ritual.
We defeated the cult, freed the children, and banished the demon once again, but Lia sometimes wonders if he will find a way to return once again and complete his mad ritual.
The Black Wizards and Demons:
When Lia realized she would have to seek dark allies to assist her in her goals, the first group she came to were the black wizards. Through a contact of hers (which she used to pass information to them for a nice little reward), she was able to meet the grandmaster and while she desired quid pro quo, he proclaimed her as a new Black Wizard, whether she liked it or not; however, through this chance meeting, she discovered that a female demon was watching her and needed to learn more. She assisted them with a variety of tasks but found herself in disagreement too often as they served demons themselves when convenient and realized their help would mean losing what was left of her integrity and she was getting no closer to discovering who that female demon was. She learned that they could no longer help her and she could no longer be one of them.
Path toward the Demon Slayer:
Through her adventures, Lia Learned much about Demonkind. In particular, she knows of five demon families that work together, some more willingly than others, to achieve their goals for power. One, in particular, tried to become the most powerful of them all but failed with a group involving Lia's help. Lia will eventually wish to eliminate/banish all the demons in these five families to help in her path to slay demons.
Lia also recently helped a demon, but it was in the knowledge that if she didn't free the demon from her prison the demon would never die, a fate probably worse than death and banishment from the prime of Layonara, but a fate Lia did not wish for the demon, and neither did those who came to her prison to kill her as well. So they decided to free her so as to be able to kill her another day.
A wizard amongst thieves:
Lia has become very roguish in nature, her particular practice in magic has helped give her the wit and means to help in such deeds. Her beauty has shown no hindrance to this as well. However, there are some skills she lacks or at least lacks well in comparison to rogues. She however made up for this one fateful day when Quintayne needed her assistance. To get the information he required he would have to seek those of shady nature to get it, but no one within his group wished to associate with such people, so he asked Lia's assistance to get the information. Lia agreed to help for she now had plans of her own. In helping Quintayne Lia helped herself by gaining an in with a thieves guild.
For now, she is just a prosperous client wishing their service and has asked a job of them already, but she of course wishes more and has made that clear. She's offered to help them in whatever job they do to gain her trust and hopefully in time be a member amongst them.
Freedom at last:
It was finally time to seek Xandrial in his tower. Moraken has asked a large group to help in regaining the shifters amulet by dealing with Xandrial to claim it. Lia wished not to deal with Xandrial again and so as many times before, made the decision up to the rest of the party, she however wished to join in this expedition, for she had questions of her own, like who the demonic woman is that she saw. When they made it to Xandrial he told the group that he will bring them to the plane where the amulet has been taken too, if they can defeat the devil lord of that plane and thus give Xandrial its seat he will give us the amulet, and free Lia. We succeeded and Lia was finally free.
She was a tad traumatized at first, completely speechless, but eventually, she broke into tears. It was finally over, the chapter involving Xandrial, at least she hopes, but there is still one last thing she must do. At first, she couldn't control her emotions. Lia was completely erratic, she would be happy one moment then she would be crying the next, then she would smile again as if nothing happened. Much like a child, she didn't even realize it until a man tried to woe her and nearly succeeded. Much like her anger she now tries to get better control of all her emotions and has proven to be very chaotic at times, full of glee, then at times, she showed that rude side of hers, but it tends all those years ago she has become near impervious of the emotion, easily shrugging off things that most would not.
Despite the huge personality change, Lia has not forgotten what was done to her, and the way others acted towards her. She will no longer waste her time with Scrofulous Legends. Instead, due to a past she will never wish to repeat, Lia will do what she must to ensure her friends do not meet the same fate she had.
Recently she found the home of the T'oleflor, a major event in the history of the world. She also used the opportunity to learn more about Xandrial, and how he fell. To gain more answers she offered the T'oleflor the book she stole for Xandrial, knowing the T'oleflor can read it. Lia may learn more of the events leading to her curse and even more if she could have someone interpret it fully for her.
In general, Lia is far from good, but she is also not evil, and finds the conflicts between them trivial. Right now she wishes to show others that she is not an evil person, and she has acted around that for now, doing her darker deeds in the background ensuring to not get caught. Her ultimate goal is to gain absolute freedom, for much in her life it was taken, and through the powers she seeks she thinks she can achieve it.
Quests: (okay I've done tons of quests, and I doubt I can list them all)
Plot - there are some plot events I missed due to sailing, but I believe I made more than 60% of the events since I joined in Beta 3
CDQ's - Lots of them, here’s what I remember:
- The evil Lia did for Xandrial was all via CDQ
- Lia was somewhat involved in a CDQ theft attempt on the arcana superior (she hired Triba to do the stealing, so most of it was Triba and Ozy)
- An attempt to redeem the crimes of her tears, ended being something bigger with Lucinda
- A quest to indulge on Lia’s darker side, it was just complete and Lia ended helping the evil, to get she wished in the quest, but also in the knowledge that the evil could not be destroyed where it was, despite it was imprisoned.
Cadimus - The GM eventually quit the server so this never got complete, it stopped when Lia finally got the sword and the group freed the children. The five demon families (not real quest name, but can’t remember it) - It was to stop a demon from becoming more than just an ordinary demon, in turn a few of the demon families wished us to interfere, for if he succeeded then the hierarchy of power between the families would shift.
Kobal’s ECDQ
Quintayne’s ECDQ - what little was done in it anyways
A bit of Gotak’s CDQ
Thousand year promise
If I need to mention more please say, I can scour the calendar for more events I was involved in.
Ideas for Lia to become epic:
Arcana Superior and Lucinda - I imagine the events involving Lucinda and the events involving the arcana superior can be connected. Lia seeks the book, but is she ready for such power yet? She believes she is now. Perhaps Lucinda is testing her for that very reason, and will proclaim Lia to be the knowledges protector.
Black book of demons - Lia wishes to regain this book and learn more about it and the events pertaining to it by lending it to the T'oleflor to help her discover it more. Where this will lead though is unknown.
one of those two mentioned I would like the most, but here are some other ideas:
The black wizards - For Lia’s plan to betray them to fully unfold she will need to complete a few things. Of course gaining rank to further infiltrate and learn more of their weaknesses would be nice, but Lia also knows in joining them there are a lot of benefits she would lose once leaving them. Because of this she wishes to find something to gain, steal from the black wizards when the time comes. Like the secret to the grandmasters great power.
Thieves’ guild - Lia would like to get further with this guild. Become one of them instead of a customer. Eventually, she will wish leadership and have a guild of assassins and spies at her disposal.
Demons - perhaps it’s time Lia isn't a self-proclaimed demon slayer but has it become official for all fiends on Layonara and even beyond to know. Lia will also wish to learn more of this demonic woman who seems interested in her
Cadimus - I doubt he’s gone forever. The sword still exists, though the soul in it is weak right now. Is it time for Lia to embrace this part of her destiny?
At first I wanted either Ed or Pankoki to GM the ECDQ, but I also know they are very busy with other quests, so the first available DM will be quite fine. They aren't ECDQ GM's for nothing and I'm quite confident any one of them will make a cool story and great quest.

Once again I write my thoughts, something I dont do often as before I've never been in the mood to do so. Theres been so much I've forgotten, habits died when one could say my very person died. Whenever I felt hurt or was just in a but of a flux, I always found books to be a refuge. Only now after all that pain do I seek that refuge again. I've now located myself in the great Library for recently I realized something and now find myself in need to confront it the best way I know how.
I should have noticed it the moment I was free, the signs were obvious. What was it he said again? erratic? Of course I saw a cat run by and I'm already wanting to play with it, my attention span, everything, has changed hugely. All those years without a feeling and my meditations to control my anger, it all made me less and less of who I am, what I am, an elf. As nessesary as it was, it also held a price, like everything in this forsaken world. I began to forget what it was like to feel and now that I'm free again things once again get complicated. For now, do I notice that I'm like a 40 year old child trapped in an ageless body fueled with intelligence and wisdom from my life and experiences.
I beleive because of my studies, I am an enchantress over all, I deliberately refused this lack of control I now have. To think that I did not learn enough of my art to be prepared for this is truely discerning, but I hold faith. What better to test my art, my power. I beleive I know of something that can help with this as well.
Before if a man told me he loved me after one day of meeting me I would hit him hard and call him an idiot among many other things. Normally that is the reaction one would see, but this time things were definately different, my heart was stricken and I succumbed to him, fortunately my mind was still in tact enough to overcome my heart, which has now brought me to the library now, or perhaps it is also my heart that brings me here.
Theres nothing more I wish to speak I must go back to my studies. There are things I wish to learn.

I search and I search but I cant find a thing about the amulet, it appears this trinket might be older then even the great lore within this library. All I could find are clues that might speak of this very amulet I hold. I found a picture of it somewhere, but these books are so old that it was torn off and alone without any binding to hold it, I will continue searching though.
Eventually I grew weary and decided to read my journal entry from yestereve. It reminded me of the much work I need to get done, specifically of the help I can get to increase my art and thus control. I hope the help can do more then just that though. I remember origionally I was going to have its help with another matter, before the curse was broken. I think now I will help Kobal, my other alliance will do nothing for me, they are not like I, then again, one man out of all that defied and hated me for my affliction, one man understood and helped me where most would not. To betray him would pain me so, if I'm to leave, I must ask him to join me.
First though, I must take care of that matter, the matter of utmost importance, for it could be a matter of life and death for me. I remember long ago, I found my life unimportant, and would have gladly died as long as it would mean my freedom, though I knew I could not even free myself through death. Now, though; I refuse to think this torture is all thats here for me. If it is, I shall gladly take leave of this world and never return. I've had much thought on this, Lucinda herself helped me, perhaps through her I can find what is needed of me. Can I trust her though. I held trust in a being of that kind of power before, even far less, and payed for it. She is a god, what use does she have for me?
Mai 27, 1395
Two days have gone by and still no luck on finding anything of the amulet. It makes me grow weary. On the bright side, I feel I'm gaining control, I've also found books of my art, basic things I've forgotten. To think this curse would have held such a huge toll on me, even gone it still affects me. Then again, after awhile through the curse and my training I started taking up schools other then my natural art, Divination and Abjuration come to mind expecially as I found those two most useful in my goals against the demon. As much as I'd like to continue my studies with those schools I also cannot stear away from who I am, I must refocus my enchanting.
Lucinda crossed my mind alot through those days as well, the gifts she granted me were truely what I needed to keep my sanity through the last year of this curse. I must say if it weren't for her I do not know what would have come of me. Still to think she would do this to me out of the goodness of her heart is hard to beleive. I know there is a price, something she wishes in return but what could it be? I need to speak with Allurial, and perhaps another I learned of. Through them I will have my answers and for her help I will return the favor, but should I devote my life to her? The question still lays in my mind. Perhaps time will tell.
Perhaps, though; she knows of my true ambition, before the demon, my quest for vengeance, since I practically came to this world. It is said that what I seek is a true relic of her power, of her faith, and can grant its posessor such a vast knowledge of magic and the weave that would even rival that of the grandmasters of eight. Perhaps what she wishes of me involves this goal, this relic I seek. But, as I said earlier, only time will tell.

I've givin up on finding information on the amulet in this library, perhaps there are things I'm not meant to know, not yet anyways. I have no idea why I spent so much time trying to find out about it, the amulet never really concerned me. Perhaps it was just the convinience of time and place.
I've come to think of Duragen though, my homeland before Layonara. If it wasn't for Lucinda I might have forgotten about it completely. There are some things I wish I could have forgotten though. When I first visitted this world I thought I could start anew, noone knew me and my being here had to be of importance. Like many others I had a dream of a great golden dragon seeking my help, he appeared to me right after I entered the rift with my master on our vessel. Later I woke up in Hlint, still rather hurt and unknowing of these lands or where I was. I still dont know if this was what my master wanted to show me, he was nowhere to be seen when I awoke, nor any of the crew on our ship, infact the ship itself was missing.
My master was an elf who knew and loved my mother dearly, one of the few with this very description who truely accepted me. Its saddens me to speak so, I never meant to kill her, but it was out of my hands. A child was born and thus a life was taken, many blamed me and said the sacrifice for my life was in vain. My father loved me though; and later sacrificed his honor to save my life. So many sacrifices... for me...
I've already said to much...

Once again delays in my journal writting, not suprizing really, but I needed the time for my training and control and I must say progress is looking up. Still I find I'm extreemely emotional, atleast more then ussual, well more then a ussual person, not hard to be more then what I was. Time will be the greatest healer I beleive though, as long as I keep to my studies I shall have no problem. As I look further and further though, and start to control myself I begin to realize the betrayals and harm that has been done. I hold no sympathy for those who call themselves heroes, where were they when I was in need, yet so willing to help those of evil nature. I will hold no evil intent towards them though, not unless it is nessisary, for that is not who I am, not anymore.
I know what I need to do though, what I need to figure out. Concerning Lucinda, the Black Wizards, but there is more as well. I saw a demoness through a vision, when I was told I had eyes watching me it was not Xandrials eyes I saw but hers. I need to find out who she is, and why she is interested in me.
I've written to much here, when I finally leave the library, I shall burn these pages...

*a note is posted on the boards of the wild surge, the writting is a fine flowing text with a sky blue color to it*
The Arcane Alliance is going on an expedition to Saudiria to discover its secrets. Were accepting mercinaries to protect our wizards on our study on the secrets we seek, so if your interested contact myself, Lia Di'makiir, and I will give you what details I can of our journey.
//Event is on the player run events on the calendar and will be GM'd by Rhizome at 9:30pm PST, Sunday. I won't be around all day Satureday so if you wish to join the best way to contact me will be via PM on the forums or on this thread.

*Written in fine flowing script. The top center of the parchment is written in a Larger script " The Arcane Alliance"* The alliance has finally formed. Are you a wizard or sorceror who feels there is still much for you to learn about your powers and of the world of magic and the weave? We are an organization formed to allow Wizards and Sorcerors of all kinds to work and learn with eachother the ways of the weave, layonara, and places/things beyond. Our tower will be home to a school for wizards and sorcerors, as well as wizards to be. We will have a Library and open resourses to allow wizards to excell in their studies and research. We will help in defending our home, layonara, from those who threaten us.
You can chose any of our four professions within the guild; Lore, Observation, Science and the Planes. These professions will allow our wizards to learn things differently and see things in different views, so ideas can be attacked and argued from different angles; though, you can chose more then one profession if that is what you wish. Your progress will show with a ranking system for your individual profession, as well we will give rewards for your hard work. Our wizards and leaders will assist in anything we can to have our members excell within their capabilities, but to insure that our organization gets return from the wizards we help, we decided that to join you must sign a 10 year contract. If your interested in joining, just contact Elinmire Thel'dinarae, Lia Di'makiir, Tathnolu, Oholibama or Connor Garvill. Who will all gladly explain the different profession for you.
Lia Di'makiir//I also wanted to add something about the "wizards to be" part. As soon as we have our tower and we can train wizards in a school environment, we will ahve a first rank called the student rank, all wizards even lvl 1 ones will be beyond this rank, it will mostly be an NPC thing, but its also in there to allow and RP oppertunity for those who may wish to multiclass into wizards. If our guild accepts you then we will train you in the arcane, allowing you to make that multiclass via RP. I already talked to Leanthar about this and he loves the idea incase any were thinking I should talk to him first  . I also wouldn't mind this being stickied for that very reason, but that will be up to the DM's.
