Misanthropy's History

Kleothera — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 21:38:15 GMT

Kleothera:

[[Category:Misanthropy]]

Misanthropy came into being many years ago, founded by the goddess Natatia. Originally created as a highly organized and disciplined clan dedicated to achieving dominion over the realms, Misanthropy began to increasingly revolve around the worship of Natatia. As this progressed, the clan grew increasingly decadent and corrupt, becoming a haven of sycophants and hypocrites of the worst sort.

The apex of this decay occurred when a drow by the name of Vlain rose into the upper echelon of Misanthropy's ranks. Vlain was particularly corrupt, currying Natatia's favor by any means necessary, and his status as a pampered pet was frowned upon by many. In particular, Misanthropy's three officers, Xuri, Offel, and Herth, chose exile from the clan rather than stand witness to its further debasement. Shortly thereafter, two young members of the clan by the names of Rasser and Correus were promoted as replacements.

Then one day, Natatia vanished. The exact nature of her disappearance remains a mystery to this day. Some say that she was undone by pacts made with powers too terrible to name. Other theories suggest that the other gods, enraged by her crimes, finally rose up against her, exiling her from the realms. Whatever the reason, the founder and figurehead of the clan, as well as the focus of its devotion, was no more.

It was at this point that a god by the name of Belidus appeared. He remembered the Misanthropy of old: dedicated, disciplined, and free of weakness. With the assistance of those members who were judged to have upheld those ideals, Belidus conducted a purge of the clan, going as far as to destroy Misanthropy's old clan hall and construct the Obsidian Citadel, where Misanthropy still resides today.

Eventually, however, Belidus left the realms as well. The god Uzell stepped in as leader, but betrayed the clan, nearly destroying it in order to create the clan known as Dissonance. However, the god Enke intervened, decreeing that Misanthropy had a vital role in the realms.

He appointed his general, Auie, to the rank of Executioner in Belidus' absence, and one day another god by the name of Kiume appeared, offering his service to Misanthropy and its crusade. More recently, Kiume was absorbed into a mortal by the name of Iden who ascended into godhood himself, taking Kiume's place in the Misanthropic hierarchy. Correus, the Mortal Leader played a vital role in the administration of the Clan through the Orc invasions and the fall of Aden.

With time, however, Lord Belidus returned to the realms, and resumed his place as God of his Clan.

[[Category:Old_Clans]]
Savage Decadence....that is what is rumored about us.
We are Knights of Indulgence, searching for new and
refined aestheticism, artifice, and for new sensations.
Protectors of this, we protect the city that is most
indulgent of our ideas, Arnath. Faith does not matter,
as long as they do not enforce ways that would impede
our quest. In this we do what suits our purpose, no one
or nothing to stand in our way.

Code of Conduct:

Always work at reading, writing, martial skills,
archery, and horse riding. There is no need to
detail this. Hold literary skills in your left
hand, martial skills in your right. This is the
law from ancient times. Never neglect it.

Post intelligence agents in both near and distant
provinces, even if the world may be at peace. In
so doing you can spy on the conditions of these
domains without interruption.

Those retainers who lack special talent or positions,
but who are steadfast must be treated with compassion
and understanding. Those who are effeminate may still
be used as attendants or messengers if their demeanor
is outstanding, and they must not be dismissed lightly.
However, if they lack both [steadfastness and good
deportment], then it is useless to retain them.

[[Category:Old_Clans]]
Some of our number may seek to dominate as others look to liberate.
Casting off the husk of the old, chaos has been born anew through the will
of our Lord Sarcartia. We do not all get along, and there is no foolish
sentiment suggesting we should. Power belongs to the strong and
entitlements belong to those with power. That's the way things work and it
cannot be helped. We have no permanence nor a set design. We change with
the winds and don't have to settle on anything. We are neither good nor
evil and though our members may claim what they will, we simply are. We are
the force of change and around us, things are ever changing.

Kleothera:

We are lords of the clouds, and the vast spread of azure is our domain. We are the reapers of great glory and priceless treasure, the bearers of untold wealth. We value knowledge above all, as it is in wisdom and study that one can truly find power. We are the Knights of the Sky, and we watch over the world below from our citadel in the clouds, gleaning the most guarded secrets of this ancient land to hoard for ourselves that we may forge our own paths to glory and power.

Kleothera — Sat, 11 Mar 2006 18:59:16 GMT

Kleothera:

==Auxiliary==
He who seeks to join the ranks of the Clan starts as an Auxiliary helping the brethren and learning from them. He is the little cub protected and sheltered by the pack- young and weak, he is nurtured by his elders who aid and instruct him in the ways of the Clan. Through his interaction he learns to accept and trust them, and in so doing trust himself. He learns to hope- to believe that his fervent wishes will be met. He learns to aspire to become a full member of the clan and the great reward of his service is the admission into the ranks of the Tribesmen. He does not vote in the General Assembly of the Clan and does not have the Rights that his elders enjoy, although he is still bound by the responsibilities. However, the life is less hard and the discipline and training is less stringent that that of the full Clansman.

==Tribesman==
He who shows the qualities that distinguish him as a worthy member of the Clan is rewarded by being admitted in the ranks of the Tribesmen. He learns to support the clan and learns from his elders through observation and imitation. He learns what is expected of him, what his obligations and privileges are along with what limitations are placed upon him. His striving for new experiences places a dual demand upon him- a demand for self control and the demand for the acceptance of control from others. He learns to control his inherent, natural chaotic urges and channel them for the welfare of the Clan. He is encouraged to give free reign to his self- expression, for it develops in him a sense of pride and the strength to make free choices, to decide, to exercise self-restraint and to apply himself. It is from the ranks of the Tribesmen that arise the priests, poets, lawmakers, builders and master craftsmen that are the mainstay of the Clan. Although not members of the elite warband, they share in the ancient duty that all able-bodied members of the Tribe are bound to arm themselves and serve to defend their Clan. Called upon at times of emergency this citizen's army shall not fail in its task. In addition to military duties, they can undertake any trade at which they feel most competent. A Tribesman may work as a scribe on the staff of his commanding officer, a healer, a musician who maintains the morale of the troops or a merchant that keeps his clansmen equipped.

==Warrior==
All Warriors are experienced fighters who continually practice their trade, and are accustomed to living, training and fighting together as one. Their laws and code of honor bond them to faithful service to their Goddess, Pendragon, other officers, Preceptors and to each other, even onto death. Dwarf and elf, mage and warrior stand together- old rivalries forgotten- brothers under the sign of the Flaming Torch; each ready to give up his life in the defense of the Clan. To be accepted in their midst is a great honor, and all newcomers swear loyalty to his brethren, and utter loyalty is demanded and given in return for admittance. In the warrior, initiative combines with autonomy to actively plan and pursue his goals. He is eager to learn from his elders and strives to grow in the sense of obligations and performance. His actions have purpose and he acquires competence and pride in achievement.

==Centurion==
He is his Preceptors' loyal lieutenant. Selected for his contribution, his intelligence and the qualities of leadership; it is he who looks after the needs of his Brethren in his absence. Raised from the ranks of the Warriors, he is close to them and knows their needs and aspirations. He is the voice of the Preceptors and acts as a deputy in their absence. Having built a strong self-confidence and sense of self, he is now prepared to unite it with others. He learns to care for others, and develops the strengths necessary to fulfill the commitments despite the sacrifices that he may need to make to maintain these relationships.

==Preceptor==
He is the parent to those who have been put under his protection. He is the strong wolf guarding his cubs- their mentor, friend, philosopher and guide. Under his benevolent guidance the clansmen acquire the virtues that make the clan unique. The love and care for others is his greatest virtue, the well being of future generations his main concern. His strength and wisdom is dedicated to the young and weak, his sword to their defense. In return, the tribesmen owe him loyalty and obedience, for in doing so they honor one who has devoted his life to their help.

==Lorekeeper==
He who has spent decades in loyal service and whose words of wisdom and moderation have often swayed the opinion of the clan finds a special place of respect. He joins the ranks of the Lorekeepers, the wise members of the Council, who form the advisers of the Clan. They are initiated into the deepest mysteries and possess all the insights of the clan. Great is their ancient store of knowledge for most have in their youth been officers in their own right, surrendering their authority and power to the new generation. Even the Pendragon would be well advised to consult them in the hour of need.

For a detailed account of all the events described below and an indepth account of the history of the Circle, visit the Circle's [http://cofonline.topcities.com/chronicle.html Chronicles]

== Kindling of the Circle ==

The Clan [[Discordance]] was one of the oldest clans of the Realms, lead by Lord [[Archinus]], one of the original four that battled Corin-Mur to obtain immortality. After his untimely death, the leadership of the clan passed to the Lady [[Kleothera]], until then his Archangel. The members of the clan grew many and prosperous and enjoyed the special patronage of King [[Adrian]] of Arnath.

One of the mortal Leaders of the Clan was [[Laren]], a drowess. She extended her power over the clan and was able to charm her Goddess into giving her complete control over the Clan. Making use of this trust placed on her, she betrayed and assassinated the Goddess [[Gwynn]] of [[Harmony]] and then turned against her own clan, breaking it. She lead the minions of the Drow Goddess [[Natatia]] into the Clan Hall, burned it to the ground and was rewarded by the position of Mortal leader of [[Misantrophy]]. These two actions broke Kleothera's heart and she withdrew her favour from the Clan Discordance.

And yet, there were a few (namely, Gorlim, [[Ayla]], [[Ciryath]] and [[Takori]]) who remained loyal to the core principles that once held it together and prayed for the Goddess to return. No more could they stand neutral on the question of Good and Evil. They declared unquestionable loyalty to the path of virtue and won the Goddess's heart again. The burning tears of Her's rage quenched the fires that still burned in the ruins, and she created a protective magical lake guarding the holy site, placing a Guardian dragon to protect it.

The Flames of the Circle of Fire were kindled from the fire that burned Discordance. The Oak tree of the old hall and the wolves that roamed the desolation were adopted as emblems of the Clan.

"You who use the fire as an instrument of pain and torture,
Shall see it rise and life for ever nurture.
You who sent it my people to kill,
Shall see it protect them, burning still."

"The Oak shall ever grow, a mark of faith unending,
Of Clansmen's commitment and of their will unbending."
Thus, the Lady spoke in words of thunder-
Her voice did tear the skies asunder.

"The wolf that had stayed with our dead
Teaches us the lesson of loyalty", she said.
"Wild and free as the wind the wolves run, and yet
United with their pack mates, an example of loyalty they set.

In the bowels of the isle was a mighty dragon set
To teach us wisdom and from invaders us protect.
Thus arose our mist cloaked island fair,
Hidden from unbelieving eyes, guarded by his lair."

Many did flock to his banner burning,
The Circle grew and one could sense the tide turning.
As year into decade, and century into century did pass,
The Circle has continued in strength to rise.

(Excerpt from the "Kindling of the Circle" by Ayla Arminius,
from the Chronicles of the Circle of Fire).

==Early History==

[[Gorlim]] was the first officer of the Circle and the only officer of Discordance to have made the transition. The Circle started slowly, still haunted by the betrayal of Discordance. Many blamed the Goddess for the disolution of the clan and that she did
not do enough to stem the rot within the ranks. The blood feud between Misantrophy and its Goddess Natatia also left its toll. The faith of its followers was severely tested.

==The Serpentive Wars==
Takori, a monk, was among the few loyal members of Discordance to follow the Lady into the Circle. He rose quickly through the ranks to become it's leader. Soon after, news reached that his home monastery was under siege. He rushed to its aid but was to late
as it fell to the hordes of a necromancer. He was reached by his former mentor's spirit and told of a relic that accomplished the banding of his chaotic host. The relic, the [[Serpentine Generator]], would unleash untold horrors on the realms if not destroyed. Takori searched through the lands until he heard that there were but four souls that knew of the whereabouts of the relic.

Not long afterwards Drow hordes descended on the Clan Hall of the Circle. Takori was kidnapped by a Priestess of the Drow Goddess [[Lloth]]; he was rescued, but the Clan' Jarl was mortally wounded. For months there was no respite from wave upon on wave of Drows.

The [[Order of the Minotaur Knights]] and the Clan Hall of Harmony were attacked by the same enemies. News reached that of the four that knew about the relic, but one survived. Takori sought counsel with the wise old dragons in the Dragon Valley. [[Elradu]], a Ranger
of the clan Harmony asked him to search in a place of great good for the ancient relic of evil. The Gold Dragon told Takori that he followed the wrong path by searching so far from home. He then told him to go away.

While he was away war continued to be waged by the members of the Clan. A shapeshifter in Takori's form tried to lure them to their deaths in the Dark Forest. Frustrated, but still resolved, Takori returned to his Clan Hall only to realise that the young clan
member Gerad was the last remaining mortal who knew of the relic's location. The Generator rested in The Order of the Minotaur Knights. Takori rallied the Clan and departed immediately for the Order of the Minotaur Knights. Elradu of Harmony joined the Circle in the final battle.

The Drow attacked the Order yet again. Takori knowing that they must know as much as he about the whereabouts of the relic, led the frantic search. High above in the Marshall's quarters the Generator quietly kept up its work- serpents large and small were spawned.
Through the heroic efforts of Takori, Elradu, Throg, Thalius, Gerad, Berit and Parnell, the Drow attack was staved off and the relic found. They debated what was to be done with the indestructable relic. The Goddess Kleothera appeared and informed them that
the only way it could be destroyed was by casting it into the fires of it's origins - the [[Pits of Hell]].

The band unwilling to leave Takori to his task, escorted him to the Pits of Hell to see the relic's destruction through. He entered the cave alone and cast the dark relic away. A huge explosion resulted. Takori at first thought himself dead, but instead had been
cast to the entrance of the place. Severely injured, sought the others and the band left the accursed place. Always stoic, Takori did not mention to his brethren that day the severity of his injuries but he never recovered and soon retired leaving the realms.

==The Abduction of Thrull==
As Takori weakened, others stepped up to lead the clan. Berit, formerly the clan's Jarl, rose to be Pendragon jointly with him. Vimyr and Parnell were the clan's other officers. Lord [[Belidus]] was grew to be Hero of the Circle, but did not do much in the running of the affairs of the Clan and soon left to assist [[Shaithus]] in the newly formed Temple of [[Salvation]].

The Clan's Banker [[Thrull]], formerly the Trainer of the Clan Discordance sought to travel to the City of Einar seeking a cure for the grave injuries suffered by him in the fire that devastated Discordance's Hall. He was, however, waylaid in the Black forest and held for ransom. The Clan sought him in the basement of Dearn Mansion, but instead only found a single thief who lead them to Lower Arnath and its guild of thieves. The Clan fought the thieves, but in the end it was the information offered by a Master Thief and his apprentice who were ready to trade information for profit that won the day. The Clan was taken to the [[King of Thieves]], but he died in the skirmish without revealing Thrull' location. A Prince of the Thieves came along and returned Thrull safe and sound. This
captain was soon crowned King and made a peace with the Circle, for since his accession to the throne wasn't exactly orthodox, he preferred to consolidate his position without having Circle's Warband breathing down his neck. Indeed he was grateful to the Circle for it was to it that he owed his rise. The Circle also had the gratitude of King [[Adrian]] for ridding him of his old rival.

==The Circle During the Ogre War==
It was then that the Ogre invasion struck the realms. It was the tip offered by the Circle's young Ogre Orsan that alerted the realm to the impending danger. It was the Circle and Harmony that formed the main bulwark protecting the clan against the evil hordes. It was the Circle's [[Nante]] who was among the two who finally brought the invading force's Leader down. It was this war that first
created the conditions for the future informal alliance with the Clan Harmony. In those days was the first foundation of the Clan as among the principal bulwarks against evil of the realms laid.

==Changing Leaders==
The Clan's own leadership underwent a period of change. Takori had withdrawn, leaving Berit, Parnell, Vyahn and Vimyr in charge. They were the Old Guard and represented the old way of doing things. They too, however, soon left following their mentor. For a while Vimyr lead the clan and under him Nante along with Tywen offered guidance to the Clan. But it was Ferria's that was the next leading force of the Clan as Pendragon. The young Troll Throg's time as Prophet
and Jarl was remembered for a long time, as was his sad death over the love by his own hand over his unrequited love for an elven damsel. A glorious wake was held in his memory. Lord [[Sherrivus]], formerly of The [[Ravens]] was for a promising but alas very brief period Hero of the Clan.

==The Demon Wars and the Circle==
It was in these days that the realms were again shaken by an invasion. The Demon Queen [[Irkalla]] came seeking vengence for the death of her son in the end of the Ogre Wars. It was on the Clan's Pendragon Lilira that fell the burden of leading the Clan through this period of trial. The realms were better prepared this time
and jointly with the Clan Harmony and the Temple of [[Salvation]], the Demon Queen was defeated. The fiery dwarf [[Grysygonth]] acted as the pillar of steel supporting the Clan at every step. Young Rangek's championing of the Clan throughout the War won him the position of Prophet. But it was the combination of the wisdom of Lilira Silverwolf and passionate dedication of Grysygonth Grimhammer that brought about the Golden Age of the Clan.

==The Golden Age of Lilira and Grysygonth and Alastrine==
The effort taken to defeat of the Demons seemed to take something out of the Lady Kleothera as she was no longer as frequent in her visits to the realm. Others speculated that it was the knowledge of the rise of the Vampire Goddess [[Diamante]] that sapped her strength. As the case may be, over the years it was Lilira and Grysygonth who came to be the real rulers of the Clan. In the absence of the Goddess, [[Hekaerae]] came to be the Heroine of the Clan, but her contribution to it was limited and she soon left the realms. The clan saw a period of unprecedented stability. Many of the rules and structures that govern the Clan were laid during the time of Lilira and Grysygonth. Over the years, Rangek, Taymuir and Adahn came to be their fellow officers.

The Circle again stood with Harmony during the war with the Dread Army and sought to oppose the evil that was Diamante. The bonds of closeness with the temple Salvation and Harmony were strengthened. The Circle, however, stood resolute to the idea of not entering any formal alliances with other clans. With time the Lady Lilira grew old and retired, leaving Lord Grysygonth to hold the reins of power.

The Goddess [[Alastrine]] came to be Clan's Heroine, without doubt the greatest to hold that title. With her sweet words and wisdom and her kindness, she won the hearts of one and all in the Clan. After serving her apprenticeship as Hero to Traewyn's Temple of Nature, she launched her own Temple of [[Revelation]]. The Clan's members felt loyal to her and indeed it was rumoured at the time that the Goddess Kleothera was ready to hand over her powers to this young Goddess. But dark clouds were gathering over the realms as the battle between the Old Gods and Caimen dreaw near. In the time of the battle Alastrine disappeared. Lord Grysygonth of her Temple was heartbroken and left with her.

== The Clan in the Days of the Orc==
The Clan faced a crisis without any Leaders. Lord Sasnakra stepped up to the challenge and was declared its [[Jarl]]. Adahn and Taymuir came out of retirement and stemmed the tide. Later, young Altrac came to assist them.

The clan was just recovering from this crisis when the Orcs invaded Aden. The Circle as was its wont stood by in the defense of the City and fought to the last until the city was leveled. Uzell, the Troll Lord came to be Hero of the Circle after his departure from the Ravens, but did not stay part of the Clan long, departing after a difference of opinion about how the war with the Orcs had to be fought. Young Rasnevic struck a strange bond of friendship with Korgan, the victorious general of the Orcs and the military commander of the city. After Aden was destroyed the victory of the Orcs seemed complete, the Circle declared its own peace with the Orcs. For his services, and his skills in diplomacy Rasnevic was soon promoted to be Prophet, then Jarl of the Circle. Concolos was promoted as Prophet taking his place.

Darkmist Dagger

Kleothera — Fri, 10 Mar 2006 19:13:16 GMT

Kleothera:

The Darkmist Dagger is a dagger sacred to the God [[Sarcartia]].

The Dagger was found by a four year old Sarcartia under the gravestone marked BeliduiaDarkmist snd since then the spirit of the Demon has been with him. It was used by him to kill his parents and, in so doing, drained him of all emotions. The cut left by it is said to be indelible and a deep wound binds the soul of the one against it was used to Sarcartia. It has subsequently been used to bind the souls of many to the God. Thus, it was used to draw [[Tigraine]] from Harmony and bind her to him. It was also used by Tigraine on him, completing their mutual bonding to each other.
