Re: The Halls of Inner Light Rp thread
It would be some time since anyone would have seen Adelaide van de Saer, the Sunite priestess. She was never witnessed leaving Baldur's Gate with hers and Luke Darius' young daughter but certainly cannot be found within the city. Should anyone inquire at the Darius Holding Company or the Halls of Inner Light, it would be stated that she and the child are doing well with no further details easily given.

In the early evening of the 27th of Eleasis, the Quiet Guide entered the Halls of Inner Light clinging to the arm of her lover and called a gathering of available acolytes and priestesses of the Halls of Inner Light. In an unsteady voice, the scarred elven woman gave a farewell to the Halls. She told the people of the Halls that she would miss them, but that being on the council had lead her to unhealthy habits and ceasing to take care of herself to the point she found no time for her friends, family, or her lover. It had gotten bad enough that she had become physically unwell. She passed her keys to the Halls to a member of the Ruby Rose and gave a final quiet farewell before leaving the gathered group behind her and ostensibly going to find time to recover her health and wits.

The Rose
The lily has a smooth stalk,
Will never hurt your hand;
But the rose upon her brier
Is lady of the land.
When with moss and honey
She tips her bending brier,
And half unfolds her glowing heart,
She sets the world on fire.
There’s sweetness in an apple tree,
And profit in the corn;
But lady of all beauty
Is a rose upon a thorn.
When with moss and honey
She tips her bending brier,
And half unfolds her glowing heart,
She sets the world on fire.
(Christina Rossetti)
An announcement is made by the Halls of Inner Light that the former High Lady of Sune, the paladin Juno Serra, has moved on to another temple and that the priestess Adelaide van de Saer will take her place as High Lady of Sune.
A ceremony took place within the multi-faith temple to music and song dedicated to Lady Firehair.
After the song, Adelaide addressed those who had gathered, standing at the head of the altar with a bright countenance. Dressed in flowing red cloth, the Sunite revealed much of the intricate tattoos in Celestial script on her skin. As she spoke, her voice carried clearly in the large hall.
"All of you who my heart sings for, I wish for you to carry a message far and wide. In struggling times, we need the bright stars among us to shine more than ever. To guide us and not make us lose our way in the oncoming darkness. A lone star will shine bright but together we would shine brighter still."
"Those devoted to the loving goddesses..."
"Sune - the Lady of Love"
"Selune - the Moonmaiden"
"Lliira - the Joybringer"
"Hanali Celanil - the Heart of Gold"
"Angharradh - the One and the Three"
"Sheela Peryroyl - the Green Sister"
"Sharindlar - the Lady of Life and Mercy"
"Eldath - the Goddess of Singing Waters"
"Lurue - the Unicorn Queen"
"...are welcome with open arms. As are any to the Halls of Inner Light who carries peace and harmony with them."
Adelaide spread her arms out in a welcoming gesture with a soft smile on her lips. She then recited a few words;
"Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression."
The fingertips of her right hand brushed against her lips in a kiss before her hand swept out over those gathered, granting them Sune's blessing.
Several other hymns were then sung dedicated towards the other goddesses and the cause of the Halls of Inner Light. The others on the Council are currently Thalornor Danya of Sharindilar (NPC), Goldheart Tia'tae (NPC) of Hanali Celanil and Greenfoster Lily of Sheela Peryroyl (NPC).
((Not an IG event due to the NPCs it would require & RL holidays! Feel free to have RPed being present. Anyone allowed in Baldur's Gate is welcome at the Halls of Inner Light as long as they adhere to the temple rules (weapons can be RPed as handed over to guards or be peace-bonded). The guild page etc will see some changes after New Year.))

A letter was delivered to the Halls of Inner Light by a pageboy who had sprinted there from the nearby Temple of the Watchful Shield. He tarried until a response was given for him to return back to his sender.

Adelaide offers the pageboy some refreshments while she pens a reply, which is then given over.

Subject: DM Rumors of Baldur's Gate
A proper announcement about the Midwinter Charity Ball is put up within the Halls of Inner Light and sent out to various groups and organizations.
The boy and man are recieved within with warmth, appearing to have been expected.DM Chant wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 5:59 pm A tall, stoic man who looks much too old for his age might be seen escorting a young lad of six or seven into the Palace District of Baldur's Gate. His clothes are tidy but threadbare; his expression is courteous but in a state of world-weariness. One of his calloused hands grips the small boy's fingers reassuringly. The boy, oddly clutching a fine fur cape around his frail body, tries to emulate the man's gait. However, he is wracked with coughing fits every so often, slowing down their progress through the streets toward the Halls of Inner Light.

Ducal Palace is in the Palace District. Attendance paid at the door.
Anyone who can cover attendance and is dressed adequately are welcome! Rumour would state that armor is not considered formal wear!

A man approached Priestess Danya and asked questions about contacting someone from the church, he left a message saying the following:
Hello this is Silvainstephane, I need to speak with someone of higher rank in the church in order to discuss delicate matters.
Thank you for your time.

Silvainstephane would have been informed of that the High Lady of Sune would speak with him once she was free. The meeting took place later in the day.

Re: The Halls of Inner Light Rp thread
It is rumoured that someone paid for the attendance at the Midwinter Charity Ball of all Ilmatari clergy at the temple of Ilmater and the orphanage. The Halls of Inner Light then extended it to all followers of the Broken God. [OOC: Announce if your character is an Ilmatari at the door, appropriate attire still necessary!]
The High Lady could be seen last evening walking with hurried steps to the Flaming Fist Headquarters.
In the morning goods are carried to the Ducal Palace and members of the temple are seen busying themselves with decorating the ballroom. Those who paid attention would notice several garlands with leaves and flowers carried through the streets from the temple which certainly would not grow and flower in the current season.

The Halls of Inner Light releases an announcement,
We express our gratitude to the generous donations made at the Midwinter Charity Ball. It is our hope that we can use these gifts for the betterment of the city.
We would like to purchase lands and plant gardens, donating it to the city for the enjoyment of all. In these gardens, we wish to include the war memorials which have deteriorated. With the undead in recent years which swept through the lands and managed to break through the city walls... the lands suffered. Greenery and flowers wilted and not all has regrown.
It is saddening that the memorials of those who gave their all to our beloved city, still stand on ground that is tainted - ground that has not regrown. It is therefore our hope that we can make a change to that. To honour those who have fallen and honour our city.
Thank you for supporting our vision - which we hope is also yours.
Long live the Dukes, long live Baldur's Gate

Re: The Halls of Inner Light Rp thread
In advance of the wedding of Niyressia Dawncrow and Lylan’Synor SyrAsiryn, invitations were sent out to close friends of the couple for a bachelorette party at the Halls of Inner Light...meticulously planned by Kaylee!
The party, it seems, was a great success! Even if it did not all go to plan, including being crashed by one of the Ruby Rose paladins who guard the Halls, to serve as bartender.
(((And check out this video of the festivities! Including a evidence for all time of Dural asking someone to dance and being shot down
Once again massive thanks to Serenity 01 for organising this - she put a ton of work in and the event was great fun! Even for an interloper like myself)))

Re: The Halls of Inner Light Rp thread
During the after-party of the Battle of the Bards there was a commotion in the lobby of the Halls: two men entered it, one looking very sickly and the other terrified of some evil they had encountered near the city.
When a local priest of Ilmater attempted to dispel the sickly man, his lifeless body collapsed immediately to the floor and a grey metal box fell from his possession. After the other man had picked up the box an eerie and evil presence began to grow and licks of purple flame erupted from him. A quick-thinking cleric of Helm immediately suppressed the evil within a zone of protection against the same. The foul object was hastily removed from the Halls by an employee of Darius Holding Company, the Helmite cleric and a large crowd in company as they ran through the streets to take the obnoxious item somewhere safer.
The following day, a pageboy of the nearby Watchful Shield came to deliver a letter for High Lady Adelaide.
