The Church of Mystra RP

[Tsidkenu]

A fairly happy Aeili returns to the Temple of Mystra after her brief visit to Doron Amar and Beregost. She immediately resumed her discussions with High Priestess Neela Daren about their soon-to-be apprentice and apparently wished to arrange a meeting with Sister Juna of the temple of Ilmater as soon as possible.

With the components used to teleport herself to Baldurs Gate, she would try to find Aeili, explaining to her why she was in need of her. Should she try to find her elven cousin in the temple. If she indeed find her, she'd greet her with warmth but hastily explain to her why she had come.

"I am in need of you. If you still wish to continue aid in the Black Orc endevour, I would be in need of some illusions finely crafted by you cousin. Illusions cast onto one or two orc bloods. Would you be prepared to meet with us at the Hunters, with supplies for such?" If she did not have coordinates, she'd be given them.



After conversations had, she would move on further north.


((to be clear, this is all forum interaction in the links, so everyone could be available without scheduling conflicts.))

[Tsidkenu]

The Mystran priestess was indeed in-house at the time of Elyssa's visit and rose to welcome and greet her friend. She listened carefully to the spellblade's request.

"Well, ah, illusion is not a school I am terribly proficient in," she admitted freely. "I would need more details regarding your request, especially if you had rather specific illusory magics in mind? Also, the temple is intending to receive an apprentice on the morrow. I would not be able to depart anywhere until we have gone through our necessary ceremonies. I am apprehensive about departing again on another journey so soon, but perhaps Lady Neela can commence our new apprentice's elementary education until I return. . ."

[Tsidkenu]

A happy scene unfolded in the Temple of Mystra as a new adherent was inducted into the roll of membership. She was inducted with a Magical Sacrifice Ceremony, after which she received a silver, eight-pointed star as an amulet and token of her membership with Mystra's faithful.

Mili Receives her Symbol from the High Priestess


The teenage girl, who some would have recognised as being one of the orphans from Pathfinder's Hall, would now be seen to frequent the Temple, coming and going at the beck and call of the two priestesses there. In the evenings she would retire to Lady Neela's residence, and in the mornings she would be seen accompanying Priestess Aeili as she goes about early morning devotional activity and resupplying the Temple's spell components from Halbazzer Drin's shop.

A sealed letter addressed to "Priestess Aeili Azenci" is delivered to the Temple of Mystra.
The return address shows as "Seekers' Quarters, Candlekeep."

[Tsidkenu]

The Mystran priestess received the letter from Seeker Keenan and, after reading it over carefully, dictated her reply to their new apprentice so that Mili could practice her writing and copying skills.

[Tsidkenu]

The Temple had a few extra visitors today after a magical item auction was held there. While Priestess Aeili considered the turnout to be a relative disappointment, some good bargains were had by those who attended and, more importantly in the eyes of the priestess, magic was being disseminated into the Realms.

[Tsidkenu]

Priestess Aeili was very active in the temple today, coming and going from Sorcerous Sundries and Pathfinder's Hall. After dropping off what looked to be a letter at the latter residence, she returned to the temple only to emerge some time later with her hood up, staff in hand and accompanied by two hired porters who were carrying a heavy oak chest.

The temple's new teenage apprentice, Mili, bounced along beside the priestess with an abundant gleam of joy dominating her youthful features, and the high priestess Neela Daren followed them with a mellow expression. The group made their way down to the docks where they met with a ship captain and, after being warmly welcomed, the priestess and her exuberant apprentice boarded the vessel, waving their hands furiously at Neela who remained on the pier. The porters carried the oaken chest on board and left the docks empty handed soon after. Within a few hours, the ship had cast off its moorings and begun to set out downstream towards the mouth of the Chionthar, destination unknown.

For all intents and purposes, the Mystran devotee departed on her journey entirely oblivious of the passing of Dawnknight Eldarian Al'maire or his interment in Beregost.

[Chryo]

The Church of Mystra has begun to receive a more common visitor. A tall figure dressed in silvered armor of a high polish. If and when asked who the man was he simply answered with his name and title.

'Mystic Fire Knight, Olrich Gaellin.'

His visits are often but never for long, simply long enough to offer his own prayer and offering and the time to check on the needs for the Church before leaving.

[Tsidkenu]

After being away for two and a half tendays, a rather pleased looking Mystran priestess returned to the temple alongside that same, excitable teenage apprentice of theirs. Two porters once again carried the same wooden trunk she left with back into the temple and went their way after being paid for their services.

A bouquet of flowers, each one pristine and nearing perfection in health and visual appeal, is delivered to the temple of Mystra; the clipped stems tied with a flowing, golden ribbon and secured with an aesthetically pleasant bow. A simple, pressed piece of card is attached; several pieces of parchment thick beneath the lacquer. Priestess Aeili Azenci, the card reads in scribed cursive. On the other side, a simple: Welcome home, my friend.

[Tsidkenu]

When she returns to the Temple after spending an afternoon at Pathfinder's Hall, Aeili seems more than pleased by the fragrant, aesthetically pleasing offering left there for her. The flowers would soon find their place sitting in pewter vase by the front door for all the temple's worshippers to appreciate.

[Tsidkenu]

The Mystran sun elf has been more reclusive of late than usual, keeping mostly to herself in the private chambers of the Temple. When seen about the city her features are dotted with signs of unease about something but she is by no means unsociable, having been seen walking to and from the Temple and the Palace District alongside a raven-haired woman.

[Tsidkenu]

A smiling priestess set forth the following public notice just inside the temple's doors. Another was set up on the public noticeboard in Baldur's Gate.

On Aeili's next return to the Church of Mystra she would find a parchment saved for her by one of the avowed, where the seal would usually be, there is instead a petrified daisy.
