I am looking for a person who answers to Bella Poetr. She is approximately five foot three, slim, and has mousy brown hair and more than likely is wearing brown leathers and two short swords. She is not wanted for any crimes, but I would like very much to know if she has been seen safe and sound. Reward of 1000 trues to the first person who can confirm seeing or speaking to her by telling me the color of her eyes.
Daniel Poetr, High Protector.

How is this handled mechanically and RP wise? Does the Paladin/Priest Character continue advancement as a paladin/Priest without the benefits of the divine or do they level in fighter? Any relevant links/threads welcome, I'm sure its been discussed before, I just didn't have much like finding them.

I have a question regarding Dark Elves and Divine Law. Last night a pc dark elf openly acknowledged his race and even agreed to travel with another party member to Vehl to be registered as a dark elf at the Temple. It was presented to me that by because of the history of dark elves, the simple open presence of one on Mistone is a violation of the law. I'm aware that some cities like Hempstead ban Dark Elves openly, but what of the surrounding countryside? Is it legal to arrest and incarcerate a dark elf that is following the law simply because he or she is a dark elf? I spent some time in Lore and haven't found a single thing to back this statement up. Quite the contrary in fact. As stated in the Law of Layonara - Principles of the Divine Court - Justice will be done in line with the dogma of Rofirein
- Each individual has a right to a fair trial
- Each individual is innocent until proven guilty
- Each individual has the right to appoint a representative to speak for him on his behalf
For my primary character, Daniel, only actions and clear plausible statements of ill intent can be judged. To him, if another character regardless of race is being truthful and following the law to the best of their ability, there is no just cause for an arrest. Links and thoughts that would give this matter some clarity?

Just a couple of things in passing I noticed a contradiction in the alignment description points. First LN - More of a question on the point "Has a high regard for life and personal freedom"? I guess I can see it argued either way, but isn't personal freedom subjugated for the good of law? second LE - - Respects honor and self-discipline. Has no time for the law.
The second sentence is a clear contradiction to earlier points in this alignment. "Lawful Evil characters support a strong system of laws" .:\

Character: Stephen Poetr
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Class: Wizard
Race: Human
Alignment: True Neutral
Deity: Aragen
Biography:
"Hurry brother, else we'll be late for the festival," Fianon hollered back to his older brother, Stephen. Shorter and smaller of the two, Fianon's six foot height was all lean muscle, Green eyes filled with a practical wisdom and good cheer rested atop a freckled face from a great deal of time outdoors. Most who had met his parents, Benjamin and Lee Poetr, would say he favored his mother. His favorite outfit, woodsman leathers complimented by a well used long bow and haversack attested to the many hours he had spent tracking the beasts of the surrounding forests near Hlint and Haven.
"I'm coming, Fianon," Stephen replied. Brown eyes flashed somewhat angrily as his solid footsteps plodded his considerable six foot one girth northward out of Wayfare, "I don't understand your hurry, and the Festival of Spring doesn't start for another day, what's the rush?" He asks in earnestness, "Daniel won't be in attendance you know, he's occupied with some investigation in Vehl."
"I know, Steph, but there's bound to be some pretty girls and maybe Melanna, I'd like to see her again, don't you?" Fianon quickened his pace, forcing his older brother to lift his wizard robes and match it.
Irritated at the quickened pace his brother sets, Stephen who was already short of breath, but faced with the irrepressible nature of his younger brother, grinned and broke into a trot to keep up, "No, not really Fianon, she hardly has time to visit us anyway, with all her work with Master Storold and the Reaching. But I do hope we'll make it time to get a room at the inn, I'm already hungry."
Fianon laughed, "Brother, you really need to travel more and eat less, maybe even let your nose escape those books you're always into!" Grinning he slows his pace to match Stephen's, the two falling into a rhythm that only comes from long accompaniment.
Stephen smiled and nodded gratefully at the slowing of pace. "Tell me, Fianon, has a particular lass struck your fancy or are you still searching the grove, as you put it?" he asked, thoughtful dark brown eyes, regarding his brother.
With a sigh, Fianon ran a hand through his reddish hair, "No, still searching, although there is this druid in Silkwood I wouldn't mind sharing a fire with. I suppose your only love is that spell book you carry, hmm?" He finishes with a teasing wink.
"Not exactly, brother," Stephen pats his ample belly. "As soon as I find a lass who can cook, I'll be settling down soon enough," he replies with a wink of his own. "Now, look sharp this trail is often beset with ogres."
Description:
Stephen: Portly, yet tall, this man is imposing at a six foot two height. Wizard's robes and a stout staff complete the picture of a person whose love of food is only surpassed by his inquisitive mind. His skin is lightly freckled and paler, obviously he has spent more time in lamplight than the sun. More sober in outlook than most, He regards you thoughtfully without saying much.

Daniel is seen given a short report to Captain Alicia Nefzen After identifying himself as a Protector of Rofirein.
Myself and my companions extends a hand to Melanna, Jillian, Bella, Richard, and Mark attempted to gather the bounty you place on the Lizard Chieftain's head. During our travels we encountered several were-beasts and irregular black hooded bandits. The beasts we put down, but the of bandits, most were slain but one was taken prisoner outside the castle deep in the Moors.
The insolent cur, excuse me, prisoner, refused to speak any useful information and insisted we take him in for a hearing and trial as I charged him with the crime of banditry and Miss Jillian charged him with attempted murder. I and Miss Jillian took scouted the Castle proper and found large bands of organized men camped there.
With a hasty retreat, we bound the prisoner's hands and his battle wounds and were escorting him back to Hlint when we were waylaid by more were-beasts. After the battle it was found that the prisoner had choked on some sort of black pudding that had apparently consumed him from the inside. I buried his body in the swamps not wanting to risk Hlint to a plague.
I thought it best to inform you directly Captain as I have not seen such large numbers of bandits acting in concert this close to Hlint in my lifetime.
Daniel salutes and steps back briskly to his companions when he is finished making his report.

Protector,
A small group of us came across a rift in the Al'Noth in the woods just off Haven Mines. I made an attempt to seal the breach meself after having observed you several years ago near Hilm, but was unsuccessful. I managed to recover from the draining effects of the attempt in part due to a large flask of whiskey and a scroll Essa had lent me some years ago. Other than the breach itself, there seemed to be some manner of summoning circle next to it. I detected no unusual creatures in the area. If you need my aid do not hesitate to ask, the rift is a threat to all magic in the area and must be closed.
May the Lady of Spells grant you success where I had none.
~Ben Poetr

//Approved character submission. 8/21/08
Character: Daniel Benjamin Poetr
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Class: Cleric
Race: Human
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Deity: Rofirein
Domains: Strength Knowledge
Biography:
The son of a common thief turned merchant, Benjamin Poetr and paladin of Rofirein, Tariana; Daniel Benjamin's story begins with his birth in a small
house in Haven. His ties with the All Seeing did not manifest themselves until mischance had his father injured during a journey to Alindor.
Daniel Benjamin's plea was a simple one of healing for his father's injured leg and when it was answered and his father healed, it caused an estrangement to occur between them. Shortly thereafter his mother, Tariana, favored of the Lord Protector, fell while in service and his father sent him to live in the Temple at Vehl. Both of these events caused bitterness within him and to cope Daniel Benjamin sought comfort in the pursuit of knowledge taken from the instructors and lore books of the temple.
In time, Daniel Benjamin and his father worked through their differences, yet the elder chose to ignore his son most of the time in pursuit of his business ties for the Angels Guild of Hempstead.
Daniel Benjamin's primary instructors were the scribes and Knights that both live and visit the temple frequently. His favorite instructor, Serissa Windword, encouraged him to pursue the duties under Rofirein Law as judge; which he pursued with a single minded determination that impressed even the unflappable Justicar Windword. The other, Jennara Creekskipper, simply encouraged him to follow the path that the Lord Protector would reveal to him once outside the temple. Finally, his namesake and uncle, Daniel Poetr, asked that he follow his heart.
A quiet, scholarly, type, Daniel Benjamin finds solace in the ancient texts of temple law and in quiet prayer. His views are strictly in line with that of the temple and doctrine of the All Seeing mainly due to his being raised from the age of 11 in that setting. The Temple in Vehl seemed more a home to him than the place of his birth.
1. I have read the lore pages in regard to Rofirein and agree to role-play him accordingly.
2. To him, the world should be an ordered place wherein all follow the just laws of his Lord Protector. Crimes deserve punishment under the fullest extent of the law after the truth is ascertained.
3. Daniel Benjamin Poetr will use the standard armors, heavy shield, and bastard sword favored by the Rofirein clergy.//

My first entry in this newly bound book of oak parchments provided by Reus, himself. What shall I write of? Shall I expound on the virtues of service, the pursuit of justice found in the edicts of the church or do as my uncle Daniel instructs and write of the heart?
His is a simple faith, my dear uncle and namesake, yet it has brought him both great pain and great joy. Sister Serissa encourages me to enter the ranks of the Justicars, since my studies have me dwell deeply into Church Law. I find this appealing, yet remember the wise words of Justicar Reus - One must listen in order to be heard. To this end, I have taken a vow of silence for my last year as initiate and only communicate with simple hand gestures and the occasional note. My duties for the last few years have been transcription of ancient texts to common speech and record keeping, in which there has been much since the new construction the Temple of Corsain.
Knight - Captain Jennara visits me often as well, and I treasure our time together. Her simple speech and mannerisms hide a strength, which belies her small stature.
She and Sister Serissa both inspire my studies further and I wish to do them both credit with my own service.
This year is quickly ending; however, and on the holiest of holies, Ausir Shining - When the Gold's Eye looks brightest upon all of Layonara, I shall assume the mantle of full priest shortly after my eighteenth summer. I pray to the Great Golden one, that my Uncle and Father will both attend. I feel the presence of my mother, Tariana, close as always here in the temple, so at least one of mine parents shall see my initiate years completed.
[SIZE=16]Grant me your wisdom, All-Seeing, so that I may see men's hearts and minds and know their true purpose as to best judge them according to your holy law.[/SIZE]

Pages 3-8
Eleven years have passed and yet I still struggle with my purpose. Perhaps this is the choice all followers of the Gold must make or perhaps I am cursed by the blood of my father. My views have tempered of late with my travels. I have listened to the people and found myself understanding more. I have made my home in the safe confines of the Vehl temple, but venture forth from time to time with my older cousin, Aylana Pandorn.
Her voice inspires all who hear it, yet I am troubled by her chaotic tendencies and open brazenness. She is worldly in ways I can never be, yet a more compassionate woman I have yet to find. The other day while we campaigned against the foul goblins near Hlint, she befriended an Orc.
I was suspicious at first, but upon closer scrutiny and interaction, I found this Orc, a Rak by name, to be of honorable and fairly well read temperament. He was quite old, older than father in fact and remembers much of the history of the lands.
My point in writing all this that I am still growing in wisdom, the Gold be praised.

I have been given leave by the office of High Warden of the Principium in High Justiciar Ordolf Wolvinstar name to investigate further the involvement of one Storold Doesscha in the events that led to the tidal wave that killed thousands in Leringard and Mariners Hold. As Razeriem the Elf's testimony was scant to say the least, filled with more hearsay than fact, a full recounting by Mister Storold Doesscha is prescribed. I have attempted to meet the man casually, but fate has not lent its hand to the endeavor and I may have to resort to a formal letter of introduction and inquiry as to when we may meet to resolve this matter. The office of Imperium made it very clear that intent is key in this case and it falls upon me to discern if the tragedy was spawned of carelessness or some malicious intent. It saddens me to think that the later could be possible, but per my oaths I must remain objective.
In lighter events and one that gladdens my heart, Sister Amireana and friend Amgine have asked for me to officiate their union under the All Seeing's watchful eye. There remains a small matter of a ring for Amgine, but I am sure the Lord Protector will provide. I have given much thought as to the words of binding and hope to reuse several conceptions that Sister Mylindra used many years ago at a similar ceremony.

I have the required testimony from Storold Doesscha in the form of a letter and collaboration from Sala Stonehill. While quite upset with me personally for bringing the matter up, Missus Sala did say that an inquiry by the Lucindite Church was convened and that the case is considered closed by her church. I was also privy to the knowledge that Storold himself felt great remorse and him and his merchant guild, the Ravens, spent thousands in true helping the displaced and injured persons of Mariners Hold. Storold's letter was terse and corrected me on a false bit of information. It was a dragon who attacked Leringard wreaking destruction, not a tidal wave. The tidal wave struck Mariners Hold.
As a personal matter, after swearing I would investigate the Elf, Razeriem's accusations against Mister Storold, I know wish I had let the matter drop as I have found no substance for a malicious intent in any of my interviews other than Razeriem's. In short, I believe Razeriem to be nothing more than a person with some manner of personal grudge.

Some nine years have passed and I spend most of them in the solitude of the Temple in Vehl. Still, I ventured forth when needed and have made friendships with various personages. Oddly enough, they are mostly Elven and one in particular, Alazira, a priest of Illsare has affected my thoughts on the matter of the law versus love. I find myself embracing a less stern philosophy and belief in my faith. I now believe what Uncle Daniel spoke to me ere he passed. The Gold created order for love of the creation, not for love of order itself. I will seek entry into the Knights in his honor. May the Lord Protector bless my efforts.
As for my investigation of Storold, it rests now as a full acquittal, his actions were foolish, but his intent was pure and without malice. I, for one, am glad of these findings.
Daniel Benjamin Poetr, Priest in service to Rofirein
Temple of the Lord Protector, Vehl, Mistone.
Copies of loose letters sent to Commander Jennara Creekskipper and Sir Breton Parth, Divisional Commander, Knight of the Wyrm. Also replies.
Commander,
After several travels with new friends and much prayer and soul searching I wish to ask for your sponsorship to join the Knights of the Wyrm. My reasons are two-fold. First, I feel my service to the Lord Protector requires more than my simple duties here at the Temple and second, your service and other friends have inspired me to travel the lands doing the Great Dragon's will.
I am also intimately familiar with the Knight's Code as my namesake was want to repeat it to me many times. I repeat them here by rote:
[SIZE=16]By the Insight of your wisdom we seek the best ways to observe the law.
By the Strength of your love as a shield we protect the innocent.
By the Might of your will we drive back those who seek to overthrow justice
By the Light of your soul we bring light into the darkness, law and order to chaos.
Our Duty to serve in fairness and integrity.
Our duty to serve through good judgment and generosity.
Our duty to serve through faith and true Justice
Our Duty to serve as champions of law and order against injustice and evil
Our steadfastness, our hearts and our souls are with you Great Dragon.
Into the light of your love for the people of this world we step, to follow the path you set by your Will.
To bring Law, impartial judgment and order to the world. [/SIZE]
Such words are written upon my heart, Commander, I leave it to your judgment if I am worthy to wear the mantle as well. May Rofirein grant you his insight and wisdom in this matter. If it pleases you and you are willing, This letter may be used as my official request of entry into the Knighthood.
Yours in Service to the Lord Protector
Daniel Benjamin Poetr, Priest
Vehl, Mistone.
*Jennara passes the letter along to Sir Breten Parth for consideration, then sends a letter in return to Daniel Benjamin.*
To Protector Daniel Benjamin Poetr, Greetings from Section Commander Jennara Creekskipper.
I am pleased at your interest in joining the ranks of the Knights of the Wyrm. We are too few, and your service would be appreciated. It is not my place to judge you worthy or not, though. The Lord Protector will guide you, and He will see your heart during the testing.
I have submitted your letter to Divisional Commander Parth. He should send word regarding the next ceremony that you may attend and be tested.
May the Light of the Lord Protector illuminate your path,
Knight of the Wyrm Section Commander Jennara Creekskipper
Heart of the Dragon
Daniel pens a brief letter of inquiry to Sir Breton Parth,
Divisional Commander Parth,
Greetings from Vehl Sir,
May the Lord Protector find you well and hale, sir. This letter is a follow up to another forwarded from myself through Commander Jennara. Might I inquire as to when and if another Knighting Ceremony is to be held and my eligibility thereof?
Earnest Regards,
Protector Daniel Benjamin Poetr
Applicant and Servant of Rofirein.
Vehl, Mistone.

Angel's guild recently had a remodel and it was felt some areas were a little dark, so at another player's suggestion, Ben learned and cast continual flame on several chests and statues to illuminate things a little better. My question is this - Will this permanent Light source need to be renewed every reset? I suspect yes, but thought I'd ask. Thanks for answering.

Long before I came to Layonara and rediscovered Nwn as a multiplayer game, I enjoyed the works of Looking Glass Studios. Specifically the Thief Universe and games. Not a shooter, but a first person sneaker. One of the joys of sneaking about is the eavesdropping..as seen here.
