LINESII- Into the Darkness

YES! I might live more than two turns now! Great update!

One question: How do you "kill" a land? Though I'm sure the Eldranians are capable of it...

Define 'kill'. You've genocided the Hathran, and only a few thousand Dula live on the far side of the river.

The stats, I don't know when they'll be updated. I had to rush the very end of the update, as my parents were getting quite annoyed with all the time I was spending on the computer.

OOC: My leg brace is off today!!! Only 5 more weeks until I can walk!

That's the question. In the update, you said "the Eldranians conquered and killed all of the former Dula-Hathran lands".

You killed the people, except a few Dula who escaped across the Kalmar River.

From: Veritas
To: Aney Tigot

You are a people worthy of communication. We have heard of your halls of knowledge. It is a great accomplishment to further the understanding of the Earth, even for heretics. We would like to send a small group of scholars to learn the ways of your people, and study at your halls. We would also like to send Disciples of the One to preach among your people. In return, we will give you a large quantity of copper, and the tools to fashion it into whatever you desire.

to Veritas:
Our city is open to all. Send whoever and whatever you want, as long as you do not call us by bad names like "Heretics".

From: Veritas
To: Aney Tigot

When your people convert to the Church of the One, they will no longer be heretics. We look forward to the day.

The Aneyans believe in Antigotica for a reason... And we are not heretics. Keep calling us that and our borders will be closed.

From Gorin
To Yath al'Shanaal
Peace it is, but we would like to make it clear, you want the Ruby back?

From: Yath al'Shanaal
To: Gorin

We cannot have peace while you sit on our holy site. Unless you want an all-consuming war, please step aside and out of our land. You have two options: to show kindness to us and accept our friendship, or ignore our request and be devastated by war.

From Gorin
To Yath al'Shanaal
Just wanted to clarify, we will give the city back without any problem.

From: Yath al'Shanaal
To: Gorin

Peace Treaty

We, the Church, hereby solemnly resolve never to wage war against the honourable nation of Gorin again. We also swear that we will aid Gorin in any armed conflict they are involved in.

In the name of The Red Lady,

The Yath

The Great Philosophers of Khi

Situatied in the Mountains, and not yet as great a Mining City as Said, the city of Khi observes the world passing by. A great many religious thinkers, and other persons questioning the world gather here, the serenity of the Mountains clearing their heads for greater thoughts....


Erezia

A foreigner, from far distant lands, he came to Khemri to be closer to the death place of the Great Prophet Sathya. Erezia pushes a Monothestic interpertation of Sathya's Teachings.

The Philosphical works of Erezia in short:

A God is Perfect.

Marriage between a Man and a Women is a state of being where they become one. Nikkal and Ra Created the World as One being. One Provided the seed, the will to create, the other brought forth the creation. They are the one and the same God. Perfection necessitates it. You cannot have Multiple Perfect beings, because they all think and act in exactly the same manner, Perfectly. These Gods that we have recognised; Nikkal and Ra, and the others; Kak, Ah Puch, Huna and Mun, are simply facets that our insignificant minds attempt to comprehend of the perfect God.

Kalape
With Language came Confusion. Kalape states that language is a humen creation and is thus inperfect. Kalape raises questions of the meaning of Sythya's teachings. Wether we are truly able to describe the perfect.

The Philosphical works of Kalape in short

Man is inperfect.

Perfection is Total, all perfection is one and the same [extrapolated from Erezia's works]. Man fights wars, beleives in different things, Man questions, he does not simply Know. Man uses language to interpert answers. This language is a creation of an inperfect being, thus language is inperfect and is not a suitable carrier of knowledge. When I say "I am" what am I actually saying? Its simply an agreed upon statement within a small group of peoples. People cannot express themselves totally because of the limitations of the language. For instance in Khemri there are 200 Words for the Gods. In Veritas 1 or 2. What are we Kherians expressing that the people of Veritas are not? Furthermore, and most importantly what do we know of God? It is imposible to define a perfect being. Much less to define one with an inperfect language...

Cised
The Outcast. Clings to an invention of his own called logic, However so far this has led to many confrontations with the Priests of Khemri, not to mention any other religions. The only reason that Cised has not been Exiled is his works in the sphere of Mathmatics and Physics.
His only student and follower is Ker.

An example of Logic

All men are mortal.
Cised is a man.
Therefore Cised is mortal.



Kenth
Studies the right and wrongs of the world. Attempts a greater understanding of Justice. His works are widly drawn on for the Khemrian Courts. King Alexander being a great follower of Kenth's works, and his enlightened Philosopher Kings, which he views himself to be.

Currently in writing...


All these Philosophers come from rich families, able to pay for their education. And all to some extent live in a mental Utopia. Exploring the possibilities of a perfect world.

flattery will get you no where Kal

Nice story. And I just noticed the names.

Must continue with those names, your actions against me determines Khemri's Philsophies future.

From: Veritas
To: Lord Emrus

You will have your ships, and are free to take as many that wish to go. On one condition. You must spread our faith unceasingly, as is required of us by the teachings of the One. Then you will have our protection and friendship, forever.

From: Qual'aen Jal
To: Yath al'Shanaal

We apologize for not taking a greater part in the war.

From: Qual'aen Jal
To: Gorin

We propose a Mutual Protection Pact.

Yes! Let the Western Union be formed! We will crush all opposition...! If anyone actualy opposes us, that is.
