The raising of Silvanus d'Murani

Leolamins

A single pinpoint of azure fire manifests itself before you and in a soundless explosion sends searing lancelets of cold flame throughout the area as Raezon, the Forbidden bursts into existence.
Ardrak, Keeper of the Megalith exclaims, "Hail the Forbidden Flame!"
Ardrak, Keeper of the Megalith grovels pathetically at Raezon's feet.

Lavinya curtseys gracefully before Raezon.

Silvanus bows respectfully to Raezon.

Brona kneels before Raezon, swearing his allegiance to Him.

You incline your head politely to Raezon.

Esca blinks.

Sparkling motes of bright light surround the Megalith of Doom.

Pectus kneels before Raezon, swearing her allegiance to Him.

Esca bows respectfully to Raezon.

Lord Brona Feyranti, Prophet of Nil says to Raezon, "Lord, it is good to see you here among us."

You say, "Welcome Lord Forbidden."

Pectus stands up and stretches her arms out wide.

Yuniko kneels before Raezon, swearing her allegiance to Him.

Yuniko stands up and stretches her arms out wide.

An illithoid reaver inclines his head slightly in Rhan's direction.

You see the following people here:
Vhaedryn, Raezon, Ellowyn, Esca, Brona, Silvanus, Lavinya, Pectus, Yuniko, Ilthilior, Rhan, Leolamins.

A low, squeaky growl can be heard as Arun, the Displaced Dream suddenly spots a bug on the ground. Without hesitation he begins to chase it, but the battle with the insect quickly ends when he catches it in his mouth and makes it into dinner.

Pectus peers at Arun, the Displaced Dream unscrupulously.

Brona stands up and stretches his arms out wide.

Seanchaidhe Pectus n'Lochli, Hile Arwyddwardd says, "Pardon, I swear he is insane."

Torturer Ilthilior Ysav'rai, Of the Red Masque offers a crisp salute to the ur'Guard present, as well as Lord Raezon - having put away his weapon of choice, index finger touching the front of his helm for a few moments before crisply lowering his hand to his side.

Nodding, Raezon, the Forbidden says, "It is an interesting day. I will observe your rite, and ensure nothing more unusual occurs."

Heresiarch Esca n'Lochli says, "Interesting is a good word for it."

You say, "It is appreciated."

Seanchaidhe Pectus n'Lochli, Hile Arwyddwardd whispers to Esca, "Esca."

Heresiarch Esca n'Lochli whispers to Pectus, "Yes?"

Slipping it into his hands as slyly as she can, Pectus gives a slice of 'Crystalcake' cake to Heresiarch Esca n'Lochli.

(Magnagora): You say, "Last call. Gather at the megalith for a herofete and the raising of our new Vernal Ascendant."

You say to Pectus, "Over to you. Then Lady Lavinya will start the ceremony."

Celadan arrives from the north.

With great elegance, Seanchaidhe Pectus n'Lochli, Hile Arwyddwardd lays out a spread of exotic cuisine and delicacies before you. Along with everyone else, you indulge yourself in this epicurian feast, eating and drinking until utterly satiated. The fine meal not only lifts your spirits, but enhances your body as well.

Lavinya clears her throat in an attempt to gain everyone's attention.

The heads of a translucent jade hydra with coruscant wings of dark violet flame look about in several directions, forked tongues flicking out to taste the air.

Lifting her hands, Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "I welcome you all, citizens, witnesses and esteemed guest Lord Forbidden."

Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "On this day, the greatest honour is bestowed. On this day, we raise not just a champion, but a bastion of the Engine, one who will be tied so intrinsically to the Megalith of doom as to be nigh a part of it."

Waving a hand towards the towering Megalith, Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "Our sacred nexus, from it we are empowered, through it we are linked to the plane of Earth and granted the power and wisdom of the Earth Lords. Through it we are linked to Unholy Nil and are granted the benevolence and might of the Demon Lords and Lady. Through it and by it, did the Taint first spread upon our lands, changing and transforming us."

A hideous archdemon sucks a clot of dried blood from one of his enormous talons.

Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "To be called Vernal Ascendant is no small matter. It is not simply granting power or prestige. It is declaring that this person is Magnagora, in mind, body and soul. It is a trust that he will serve the city, that he will fight to protect it, that he will serve her people, that he will see her glory spread throught the basin."
Ardrak, Keeper of the Megalith says, "The Engine of Transformation and the holder of the Megalith, what better place could one choose to live?"

Xannon arrives, following Sahmiam m'Viraz, the Eternal Deception.
Sahmiam enters from the south, emanating an aura of immense power.

You hear the ringing of Nil's carillon bells resounding in the air.

With a flourish of his arm, Xannon bows deeply.

Sahmiam bows respectfully to Raezon.

You incline your head politely to Xannon.
You incline your head politely to Sahmiam.

Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "On this day, Magnagora puts her trust in Silvanus d'Murani. Please, step forward."
Ardrak, Keeper of the Megalith says, "The Engine of Transformation and the holder of the Megalith, what better place could one choose to live?"

Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion waves a hand discreetly at Dasina, who places a chalice in her hands.

Silvanus d'Murani takes a step forward to Lavinya, smiling at his lovely wife.

Lavinya smiles softly.

Exhaling a hot blast of steam, clanking pipes shake violently to life before stilling once more.

Dipping her fingertips in the thick red liquid within the chalice, Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "You have been chosen by the council, the leaders of Magnagora, who represent the people and those who are loyal to the city."
Ardrak, Keeper of the Megalith says, "The Engine of Transformation and the holder of the Megalith, what better place could one choose to live?"

Ardrak, Keeper of the Megalith runs an outstretched finger along the outer edge of the Megalith.

Shifting and rumbling underfoot, the earth itself trembles in the grasp of vast Geomantic powers.

Estarra's voice shatters the cosmic equilibrium, "Welcome back to the First World, lost elders. And thank you, Lisaera, for leading them back."

Pressing her fingertips to Silvanus' brow and annointing it with the chrism, Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "May the blessings of Earth be yours. May the blessings of Nil be upon you. May the blessings of the Taint ever glorify you. May the Pantheon look upon you with pride. And may Magnagora ever look to you for guidance, to lead, and as the embodiment of what it is to be Magnagoran."
Ardrak, Keeper of the Megalith says, "The Engine of Transformation and the holder of the Megalith, what better place could one choose to live?"

Lavinya nods her head at you.

You nod your head at Lavinya.

You unlock the powers of the Megalith of Doom for Silvanus.
Silvanus steps towards the Megalith of Doom, placing his hands on it. Deep cracks and fissures spread across its stone surface, as thrumming power fills the air and pours through Silvanus's mortal coil. Hordes of vile demons fill the air with the flapping of their leathery wings, temporarily blotting out the sky as Silvanus is suffused by incredible powers, and rises as a Vernal Ascendant!
A new Ascendant rises! By decree of Warlord Leolamins and with full support of the Iron Council, let it be known that the Grand Dominion of Magnagora has this day imbued Silvanus with the energies of the Megalith of Doom, raising a Vernal Ascendant!

A small crack appears in the Megalith of Doom as it is drained in power.

Ellowyn cheers wildly!

Lavinya cheers wildly!

Seanchaidhe Pectus n'Lochli, Hile Arwyddwardd whispers, "Fireworks?"

The ghost of a smile passes fleetingly across Esca's lips.

Silvanus d'Murani says, "Thank You, Lords, Ladies and Lord Forbidden... Engine, this has been a long path that we have been on, but as our Empire stands here today on the verge of domination, know that we have taken another step in that direction. We will conquer and celebrate in victory! Always for the Engine!"

Ilthilior gives Silvanus a respectful salute.

(The Crux): Munsia says, "Yes, good job Chade."

Heresiarch Esca n'Lochli says to Silvanus, "Congratulations, Ascendant. May the blessings of Nil guide you always."

Esca presses a thumb to Silvanus's forehead, who shivers, and offers him the dark blessings of the Demon Lords of Nil.

Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "For the Engine!"

Heresiarch Esca n'Lochli withdraws and steps aside to stand by Ilthilior, hands folded within the sleeves of his robe.

Penitent Ellowyn d'Murani says to Silvanus, "Congratulations, Father. I'm blessed to be able to witness this!"

Silvanus flashes Ellowyn a joyous smile.

Seanchaidhe Pectus n'Lochli, Hile Arwyddwardd says to Silvanus, "Congratulations! May your voice stay strong, and sing of only Transformative things."

The divine voice of Crumkane, Lord of Epicurean Delights reverberates powerfully, "Thank You, Creatrix, and You as well, Lisaera. Soon, We shall all feast! As soon as I find a suitable kitchen, of course."

Lavinya beams broadly at Silvanus.

Raezon claps His hands together, and a fountain of coloured light leaps into the air.
                                          +=======+
                               * * * * * *| BOOM! |* * * * * *
                                          +=======+

The corners of Pectus's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

Silvanus d'Murani exclaims, "There's the fireworks!"

Esca's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.

Rhan chuckles long and heartily.

Ellowyn curtseys gracefully before Raezon.

Pectus claps her hands together, and a fountain of coloured light leaps into the air.
                           +=======+
                * * * * * *| BOOM! |* * * * * *
                           +=======+

Raezon nods His head.

Seanchaidhe Pectus n'Lochli, Hile Arwyddwardd says, "Always necessary."

Pectus nods her head sagely.

Lavinya claps her hands together merrily.

Ribbons of brilliant colour flash across the sky, the prismatic display heralding the arrival of Isune, the Aesthete to mortal perception.

Lavinya gives Silvanus a peck on the cheek.

Munsia, riding Thesia Cylys, the white tiger, enters from the east, emanating an aura of immense power.
With a purr, Thesia Cylys slinks in from east.
An illithoid reaver says, "My chain waits upon Magnagora's need."

Torturer Ilthilior Ysav'rai, Of the Red Masque steps towards Esca and puts an arm around his back. Small back rub.

Grizzly Munsia D'Cente, The Sharp Fanged says, "Yall done yet?"

Silvanus gives Lavinya a peck on the cheek.

Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says, "You have always had my support, and always shall."

Lavinya's eyes twinkle enchantingly.

Esca nods his head at Ilthilior.

(Magnagora): You say, "Magnagora welcome your new Vernal Ascendant. Today we increase our strength and dominance over the basin."

(Magnagora): Esca says, "For the Engine."

You say, "Thankyou all for attending."

(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "Thank you all, again."

Brother Rhan, Thorn of the Amaranth says to Silvanus, "Congrats."

Lavinya d'Murani, Chosen of Legion says to Raezon, "Thankyou for honouring the occasion with your presence, my Lord."

Lavinya

Silvanus d'Murani takes a step forward to Lavinya, smiling at his lovely wife.


Best suck up line ever. Someone knows which side of his bread is buttered.

Lavinya

Also, given the divine stuff going on we thought we better do it while we had the chance, which meant I wasn't prepared and made it all up on the spot. And Raez turns up. No pressure. >_>

Mirai

You can have EVERYTHING planned, but then a god shows up and it flies out of your mind
