++A Winter's Knight++

[Lital Lizardi]

Well my evening Started with me wandering the lands training helping everyone I could with what I know of the lands. Smiling at the people who passed and greeting everyone with care. Then I saw Anu the portal walker around the lands and I remembered that I had a gift for him from the servants of the gods. I had asked him to meet me in the tombs in the endless desert. He showed up a few moments later and we sat and talked for a bit then i told him i would meet up with him after i was done training. I sent my messanger bird to him telling him i was done and i would meet him in the milltown inn. there we sat and talked about anything and every thing. I asked him whats the hardest part of being such a great enchanter such as your self and he replied *laughs* I am not a great enchanter just another adventurer like yourself only at a higher level *smiles* as the marcs became later and we got more into our discussion. I asked him if he had any advice.... this is what he told me Help others and rejuvinate clerics and people will think that you are a great enchanter *smiles* then i asked him about my profession and we talked about that for a very long time

Greetings brothers and sisters of the order:Thank you all, who had participated in this year's pilgrimage to Cory's Throne Room, on this winter solstice. Soul stones were offered, along with words from each attendee, to honor the god Cory. Those assisting and/or participating in the journey to Aldwythe's Landing: Atlanta Celestial, Lord Pallas, Brisingr Blaze, Braglagrith, Rumpella Stiltskin, Barrabbas, and myself Sarducci. Navigation for all to arrive safely was provided by Brisingr along with his portal of exit. Rumpella tried earnestly to defeat the creatures west of the shrouded witch, she died to protect the procession. We were graced to have Lord Pallas step forth delivering a powerfully worded prayer to our god Cory, of whom we were honoring this solstice. All laid down their soul stones then were gathered to form a circle, then a golden amulet placed in its center. The stone circle represented all the people of Valorn, the center golden amulet, the initiate...the first love and spirit of the gods. May the gods see and feel the power of all our good wishes and thoughts during these long winter days. Thank you all,WK

Mine was a two-part quest, and it was a quest of knowledge seeking. Dobroc first tasked me with finding out what a Holy Eulicidator does. Holy Eulicidators transcribe the contents of the Ancient Crystals onto parchment so that you may learn the blessings that are contained within. As a Cleric, you will find your Holy Eulicidators in the upstairs room of Dundee Inn (nobles only), Branishor Temple, Ryndall, and N'Rolav.

The second part of my quest proved to be very enlightening, but much more difficult. Dobroc's instructions to me were to "find out what the healing spirit blessing is and where and why it came about."

The surface answer to this question is that this blessing itself resets the lives of adventurers in the area, at the cost of the casters life. It requires a level 15 Cleric to cast, and the spell type is "special" meaning it comes not from any crystal but is only gained by bestowal from the Gods.

After the initial search for recorded information on this blessing and only finding this much to go on, i realized it would be a matter of searching the memories of Clerics and historians alike to try and gleen answers. Not many of the ones i first contacted had any more information on this blessing than i did myself, but an interest certainly was sparked, and contacts were suggested to me. I had only just that day been fortunate enough to hear Holy Warrior Doyle recount the tale of "The Battle of King Deek", and i feel that somehow the two were connected. I thought perhaps this was the blessing Elijiah used to restore King Deeks soul, but the connection was buried a bit deeper than that.

First, I spoke with the Cleric Nael, Brisingr Blaze and Scally, and next the Iron Knight Azure Greenhills.It was recounted to me repeatedly that on that day King Deeks soul had been reclaimed, Elijiah offered a reward to those involved in his return. (Holy Warrior Doyle attained his title at this time) Kira Brown and Rendotts the Holy were bestowed with this blessing.
I have since spoken also with the Iron Knights Purazon, and Islander also on this subject and these accounts were thus verified. I have heard it said there was one more also bestowed with this blessing, but verification of this has not been possible. Both Iron Knights Azure Greenhills and Purazon believe there was another, but no documentation, or valid memories prove this. Long have the days been that this blessing was last seen used in our Lands, and even then the accounts are few in number. Azure and Purazon both have seen it cast at least once during a series of raids, and accredit Kira Brown with the casting of it. Many adventurers fought and were gather at the Life Monument after suffering many deathshocks. It is said that Kira cast the blessing upon them and carried their burden as her own so that they might fight on, in the true spirit of what this blessing is meant for.
This is still an active blessing though it has not been bestowed or used in recent times, so should it ever be the will of the Gods, this blessing is feasibly available.
My induction into the Winter Knights ocurred last evening, many thanks of gratitude for your faith that i may one day be worthy of service. Although this quest may be officially ended, the interest in this subject still leads me to continue further searching into this blessing for more knowledge. I am blessed to say that the kind folk of Valorn also continue to come forward to me with thier memories, and thus i shall continue to undate my finds. The Iron Knight Azure Greenhills sent forth a message to me just today letting me know of a fairly recent casting of this blessing, and denizens of the land that recall it.
Quote:
*a note in blue ink* The blessing you asked about has been cast in recent months, by Rendotts, but it was more as an educational tool and not as something to aid in massive battle. Lowrenzo was around during that demonstration I believe. - Az
As always i am grateful beyond words for all the patience and aid so many people have given me in this search.

At last this evening I was finally able to obtain a first hand account of this blessing, its acquistion, and even a demonstration of the blessing itself by Rendotts the Holy at Dundee Inn, as witnessed by the many gathered there.
Rendotts The Holy focuses power...

Rendotts The Holy begins to glow. The souls of those in the area feel healed.

It was an amazing event to be witnessed, and an honour to be able to say that i have first hand been blessed by such power.
A blessing given to few, and so rarely seen. Rendotts was a humble cleric, and not prone it seemed to speaking overtly much on his accomplishments, but he did concur that he, Sylent One, and Illdara Brighteyes were bestowed this blessing by the High Priest Elijiah after King Deeks soul was restored. Venus Darkmoon, and Doyle were bestowed titles at this same time.
I am grateful beyond words for the gift of Rendotts time, patience and energy.

greetings fellows of the orderMost of you have already heard, that the HoL had been destroyed, and demons dressed in fall festival costumes were seen rushing away from the scene of the urgency. Many of us have spent countless hours in the chambers and have a sense of great loss. Yes, we kept the HoL immaculate as we could, guarded, utilized, and it showed, nevertheless, infiltrators of the dark side have done their deed. Some are concerned that as the HoL has been destroyed, so be it the WK. Wrong thinking, in my opinion, we shall be forever stronger and even closer knit than ever. We have lost not our souls or our goals or even a limb but an edifice, a rebuildable structure. We need not have a beautiful chamber with the feeling of well being bestowed upon us, as in the meditation area, but as simple people as we are, will be content with the forests. Nature has always been kind to us, and should continue to do so, I would think. Revenge has taken over some fellows thoughts and i do feel the same way. I say take your revenge out on the demons by preparing, strengthening yourselves and equipping well. The business of the order continues at its usual pace, until otherwise, told the contrary. With the logical and calming words from Iron Knight Valera "...we must stay calm and await word from the queen on what to do." WK
