The Church of Mystra RP

[LordPink]

Old Slavin moves around the Churche fixing and updating the archives.

He be more then happy to meet any one that wishes to speak to the Churche

[LordPink]

As of late Slavin have been seen runing in and out of the tempel geting books or coming in with books, stay late and reading about all sorts of conjuration magic. He been staying up late and have been found more then ones snoring in chair with books piled up next to him.

[Kiran]

It is rumoured that several couriers were seen headed away from the temple of Mystra, some setting out into the city of the Gate itself, however, others seemed to leave the gate and head further afield into the dark and rain, disappearing into the night to their unknown destinations.

Several of the couriers in the city were seen clutching parchments emblazoned with the symbol of Mystra upon them in wax.

[Kiran]

Any visitors visiting the temple of Mystra would find that the temple was a bit louder and fuller than usual. If upon asking any of the attendees in the main hall, guests would be told that a meeting was occurring within the library with a delegate from Amn and should not be disturbed.

[DaloLorn]

The half-sun sorceress running up and down the Coast these days would have been seen rigorously practicing an advanced spell-shaping technique at the dueling ring of the Mystran temple. If there was a specific reason besides passing the time, she did not say, but soon after the arrival of a group of touring visitors, something wondrous happened she did not anticipate: The figurine she used as a practice target was enveloped in a bright, azure flame, described by the surrounding Mystrans as a sign of the goddess' favor.

Subsequently, she and one of the visitors - a gnomish alchemist and arcanist - gave up a few minor magical items to the flame, and would both be bathed in an otherworldly glow, enduring for some time after the event. Though the exact significance of their newfound radiance remained unexplained, the sorceress reportedly made a greater breakthrough than she'd intended that afternoon...

[DaloLorn]

After over a tenday of regular visits to the Mystran temple, Aela was seen having a heated argument with several other visitors, easily identifiable as Gaven Arkalis and Maevyn Edgar. After the end of it, she was seen teleporting out of the city, briefly arriving at the Friendly Arm before venturing south along the Coast Way. Though the spectators' opinions may vary, they could all agree on one thing after: Where once there was patience fueled by a glimmer of hope, there is now only despair and acceptance. This sad tale of loss and woe was coming to an end... and if the sorceress' demeanor was any indication?

It would end as it began.

[Pimple]

A small gathering in the chapel, Maraav, Piir and Sirion, received a guest with some magic items to inspect, and withdrew to the members' quarters. During this visit Sirion returned to the chapel to ask for assistance. Following, Knight Marcus could be seen escorting out Piir, the most junior member of the temple.

[Eien]

The Audience

"Ser Fenwick is resting, you might consider coming back later."

"I can wait."

A paladin knight of Torm bearing the symbol of a Lion on his armour, enters the Temple of the Lady of Mysteries seeking an audience with Althalous Fenwick. Whatever the reason of his visit he keeps for himself, unbothered by how long he might have to wait. The Knight stands by the main hall.

[DaloLorn]

The Tormtar is not the only one seeking the old paladin: A half-sun elf periodically drops by the temple to inquire about him, before returning each time to the Friendly Arm.

Subject: The Wanderings of a Magistrati

Of notice but irregular at best—yet always at dusk with certainty—a devoted priest dressed in light blue and with a puffed hat takes seated pleasure upon softly-stacked pillows in the rear of the library of the Mystran Temple of Baldur's Gate. There, in the silence only found within such rooms of knowledge written, bound and stacked high, he would close his eyes, and though not sleeping remains still and calm, what many would consider a form of prayer.

Whenever finished, his actions are the same: finding the Servant of Mystery in her duties, disturbing them to receive the next available and possible book known to contain local references to the consecration of an altar or reverence to the High One, the First Magister, Azuth, Lord of Spells, and Mystra's advisor...and more.

Whatever result is gained through his on-and-off research within the library, the foreign-born monk drafts notes, and...where nothing seems to be found, he drafts comments to ideas based on knowledge he himself has brought within....

Subject: Rumors & Events of Baldur's Gate

...the flyers looks as though it has been engraved somehow, and those familiar with the phenomenon would recognize the use of a pair of arcane mark spells to etch a mage rune and the word "AELA" just beside the signature...

An Azuthan priest frequents the Church of Mystra in these days, carrying with him a flyer with a particular mark and signature. He is not altogether unknown within the temple, as previous Tendays he often took rest within the peace and quiet of the library within.

With the parchment in hand, he questions those about the temple as to who knows the author, and if they are present, before the coming date mentioned on the parchment itself.

The priest is often saying aloud: "With failing access to spells of one's own, such renewal surely requires addressing the Lord of Spells through prayer, and receiving such a blessing clearly benefit the practitioner. I, Arthayer Zorastryl, am one who speaks for the High One with his grace...and can perform such blessing in support."

The Magistrati is regularly coming and going from the Mystran Temple...and it would only be a matter of good timing for him, and the author signing as AELA, would have the chance to meet.

[Steve]

A scroll is left with High Priestess Neela, who appears to infinitely welcome all within the Temple itself. The delivery is made by hand, by the Azuthan Cleric Arthayer Zorastryl, a foreign-born man that would not be unfamiliar within the temple, for over the last few months, has utilized the library within as a place to calm his mind and meditate inward.

It would appear the letter is addressed to all that are part of the Church of Mystra, and Arthayer as well expressed to Neela that such should be shared with all.

///PM sent to The Church of Mystra group

[DM Mimic]

A Mystran Knight posts a notice warning the Temple Staff that a young woman of brown hair and tan skin going by the name "Harriet" attempted to lure the child Brienne away with the promise of reuniting her with her mother, the necromancer Bronwyn. While the girl was teleported back into the temple before she could run off, the knight warns that security may need to be heightened around her.

[Steve]

A meeting between representatives of the Church of the Lady of Spells and the Church of the Lord of Spells takes place in recent days within the Temple of Mystra, in Baldur's Gate. A proposal was received, discussed and queried between the three present, with the High Priestess Neela looking on from her infinite perch.

Later, respective members left the meeting by their own accord and amicably...with at least one person, perhaps the most foreign-featured of the group, calmly pleased.

[Ashenie]

Tender Care

In the Temple of the Lady of Mysteries, a ragged visitor comes dayly. Spending time with a young child, it is said that the two of them spend some time together. There has not been a single day without a visit yet. Sister Ashenie is said to have performed caring task with the child, from hair brushing to stories for the night, singing lullabies and talking with the young girl.

A display of care seems to sign a growing affection. It is said that the girl is dearly cherished, while the two of them try to find accomodation in the new home that the Temple of the Lady of Mysteries has become for the girl.

Sister Ashenie's visits are always around the same time, after education sessions and around bedtime. She is said to not interfere with the instruction overseen by Priestess Neela. She is also said to have left balms of Arnica for the elder Paladin, Ser Althalous Fenwick, whose watch over the temple remains undisturbed.
