Anarea 1-off D: Breaking the Law 3 7 to 26 Aval 2000
PC Information
The following Communes have been arranged by the PCs:
By Gaius of Satril and fellow Clerics, 7 I 2000:
KOROS: It is not.
KOROS: It is a concentration of Law that is already in the World.
KOROS: The World is composed of Law and Chaos in balance, equalling Neutrality. The image of the Scales is particularly apt as My Symbol; in that it not only refers to the weighing of souls against each other in the Karmic order, but also to the precarious balance between Law and Chaos on which the continued survival of the World depends. For an overpreponderance of either Law or Chaos will tip the balance in its own direction, and a point can be reached where the tipping over will carry on all the way. Such a point has never been reached before, but I fear that this is what is now happening in Valdran.
KOROS: It is a powerful Holy Item in which SARAN has put part of Her Power related to Law. It has therefore always been a strong Lawful influence at the heart of the Empire.
KOROS: The obvious cause is the extreme Lawfulness of the Empire under the Aven Emperors, especially at its heart.
By Ephraim, High Priest of BUDIF in Magil-Hubor, Delegate to the Joint Conference of the Temples of the Gods of Heaven, 7 I 2000:
BUDIF: I cannot be sure, but the most likely explanation is by extreme Lawfulness.
BUDIF: It is not clear that it can be. Once the process has started, it has an inevitability that is intrinsic to Law.
BUDIF: It is not being Created. It is a concentration of Law that is already in the World.
BUDIF: Many may be willing, but it is unclear that any are able. However, a Mabula Grand Palaver is being hosted by Jo'Bul, Crocodile King of Mabul'Adib, to debate a response to the upsurge in signs and portents and the eruption of Mt. Ichil. Unusually, foreign representatives have also been invited. It is perhaps unlikely that a Grand Palaver will agree on anything, but there may be people there who would be willing to help you.
By the Emperor Decus XXI of Mastrin with 1-2 others, 7 I 2000:
SARAN: You cannot.
SARAN: Nothing.
SARAN: I do not share the answers given to worshippers in Communes with other worshippers, except to the extent they may ask exactly the same questions.
SARAN: If They should try, They will be unsuccessful. You should seek to punish Them for Their presumption by death.
By Comus of Carrilon with the Elvish Priests of the Temple Tree of ESCUS in Mírlinnyrn, 7 I 2000:
ESCUS: Chaotic signs and portents have been on the increase outside Valdran since 1 Aval 2000. For example, ships heading South from Fort Venture to Kuntax and the Southern Cities have reported strange whirlpools, geysers and coloured lights deep beneath the waves close to the shore of Mt. Anar. Most notably, Mount Ichil has volcanically erupted and lava streams are flowing into the Jungle – which is odd, because Mount Ichil was not known to be a volcano.
ESCUS: The Joint Conference of the Temples of the Gods of Heaven are concerned about this matter, and are sending Justin, Archbishop of ESCUS in the North, as Emissary to the Sage, Tandrys the Wise, both on the subject of the Law and for his views as to how the aims of the Conference might best be achieved.
ESCUS: As Goddess of Law, it has always been intrinsic to SARAN's Aspect to seek the Ultimate Goal of the whole World becoming totally Lawful, as is stated in Her Creed. It is clear that the Valdrean Empire has become more Lawful under the Aven Emperors, but there has been evidence of a Lawful conspiracy at the heart of the Empire going back to the Year 500.
By the High Temple of SHELDA in Valdrea, reported to Gaius of Satril 8 I 2000:
SHELDA: Outside the Valdrean Empire there has been a general increase in Chaotic incidents all over the World.
SHELDA: The new Emperor Decus XXI of Mastrin and his allies amongst the other Noble Houses appear to be concerned about the situation and perhaps represent the best hope of stopping it.
SHELDA: This is probably something SARAN has been planning for some time, acting through the agency of Her fanatical Valdrean Noble Paladins. The fact that it is the start of the Year 2000 is the sort of thing that appeals to Her.
By Salome, High Priestess of FIDAR in Iklaron, Delegate to the Joint Conference of the Temples of the Gods of Heaven, reported to Gaius of Satril 8 I 2000:
FIDAR: Whilst Valdrea is becoming more Lawful, the rest of the World is becoming more Chaotic. The Law imbalance is concentrated, but the Chaotic imbalance is dispersed.
FIDAR: Try Gaius, Champion of Satril and High Priest of KOROS in Valdrea, and/or Dúrin the Reckless, Lord of Gathol-Dválin.
FIDAR: Narsus VI of Aven has been plotting something with his allies for some time. There has been much praying together in the Temple of the Sun Diamond and much more rigid and inflexible enforcement of the Laws of Valdrea.
By Thorin, High Priest of PAREL to the Mountain Dwarves of Barrakizdin, Delegate to the Joint Conference of the Temples of the Gods of Heaven, reported to Gaius of Satril 8 I 2000:
PAREL: There are strange events occurring all over the World outside Valdran, but the drums beat loudest in the Jungle, where the Totems of the Gods have been singing of Doom.
PAREL: Those songs have still to be sung, and may never be so, but I foresee that if they should be, the new Emperor Decus XXI of Mastrin and his comrades are likely to be the heroes.
PAREL: There has been much chanting in the Temple of the Sun Diamond over the years, but it has significantly increased over the past 25 years, building to a crescendo as the Second Millennium drew to a close.
