Description
She has feathers of bright white and a small black sparrow-like beak. Her
eyes are large ovals of darkness speckled with yellow glints. Her breast
is a downy soft white fluff. Her flight feathers are tipped with three
bright red bars stripe her . A crown of white and orange flames feather
circles her head as an azure stipe crackles with electricity down the
middle. Her tail feahers are thin allowing for swift aeral movement of
her small light frame. A trail of frosty mist trails her where ever she
flies. her talons are painted a bright black, rather the paint does not
seem solid and it would more seem to a viscous ooze. She and the elements
are one and the same.
You can see that,

1) I want to learn.

fail me.
(Player translation = I want to get to 51 and get all of my 6 affinities up to
the heroic level spells)
3) Then I want to learn how to protect myself with those spells, against anyone
and everyone.
(Player translation = I don't want to die to every PK happy player out there)
4) I want to learn about religions, cabals, and races. What makes them tick?
I want them to make sense to me logically. If they can't be logical, then why?

5) I want to explore Thera and see all the places that are whispered about in
game but only a few ever really know about them.
(Player translation = I would like to see all the things that this games has
provided but can't get to look at because I'm being attacked 1/2 of my time in
the game.)
6) I want to meet and talk to gods that do more than just drool over "blood
sacrifice".
(Player translation = Where does one experience something other than "If they
don't say X kill them," and is rewarded for that?)
7) If Luminave is in the wrong world, then let me know already and I'll move
on.
(Player translation = Find another game to play)
*addendum*
I put myself in the role, but it's so hard to keep to an idea/role character
when the power gamer comes along and schwack schwack. They don't care about
your role, your experience, or what you are looking to get out the game.
Is this game RP with PVP (where you can fight your enemy) or PVP (you can kill
everyone) with RP (drool/grunt/"you're weak")?
Role subject Me after the melt down

I took it personally the attacks from my fellow magi, and why wouldn't I?
Then as I pried from his reason for blood and murder, it was greed, then
it was wish to spread pain (a joy he called it). Crazy people scare me,
but what do you do? I avoid Apila now. I don't trust him and he gives
me the creeps. I am wary of other mages now. A common collective of minds
we are not. That is what started my fall.
A wanderlust with a nose in a book is simply not something one should do. A
drow from the village who fight magic in all forms was there. Little did my
senses pick up that until the sharp pain of a shocking bite drove into my wing.
"Is all the world mad with murderous bloodlust," I questioned? The villagers
came at me again, as did others. This is where my view of the world crumbled.
I being a pupil of magic had not put much stock into the Faith, but everyone
that foamed at the mouth for blood simply cried out that the gods will that
we shed blood. So in a distraught, emotional state I stripped myself down
to a modest amount of cloths and meditated at the large crossroad between
Galadon and Hamsah Mu'tazz. I was assailed many times by people. Some came
again when they could. It was only after I had stood my ground at the cross-
road after a few times falling did anyone beging to question what this barely
covered arial was doing. Some simply walked off having notched their belt,
they didn't care. They got what they wanted. Others told me to find a place
to hide, and still others simply couldn't fathom why I was still there.
To be honest I couldn't even answer this at first - then as my life was beaten
away over and over, it came to me what I was doing. I was giving up. My view
of the world and what my part in it was had been shattered. I was not a
student of magic in a peaceful world. I was living a torrent of shifting power
and strife. What was I doing here? Why was I here? These are questions that
I seek answer to.
The solice I have is my art of bending elements to my will. They grow in
strength as my ability to command more and more raw energy from the planes
is understood. My power will grow as will my knowledge, but where?
I had once thought I would study with those who had the fallen history of the
golden grimoire, but with my shattered outlook on life, I could not bring
myself to become involved with them other than simply aid. Where would I
fit in? I did not know so I withdrew my pledge. I wander alone and a little
afraid
This shattered existence must be rebuilt...
Dedication to religion, magic, and truth.

Long has my journey been to rebuild an existence that doesn't tear my
heart and mind out. Xoxi, a shaman to the Lady Baerinika, has been a
mentor to me, More than that, he has been a friend and companion as we
wade through the evils that darken the world in which we live. We both
have retracked our pledges from the fortress, though for different
reasons we have found common ground in this. He is more than patient. I
cannot say I have been the best of pupils, but I keep to it. He has told
me the ways of the jaguar, the way of dedication to an ideal of purity
and with courage to combat the evils of the world we will be able to live
in a time of peace. First we must defeat our enemies and purge evil from
the world. We must be dedicated to protecting the light of the world
and combating evil in all its forms. The teachings of the Lady Jaguar
speak directly to my soul, as if they were the song that my soul had
always sought. I hope one day that I will be worthy to visit the shrine
of this beloved Goddess, and when she looks upon my heart will see me for
what I am. That would be a blessing unto itself.
As my strength in magic grows my ability to ward off the evil being of
the world become easier. Will my power reach there limits of
the world become easier. Will my power reach there limits of
protection? I have yet to see any limits. The guildmasters continue to
teach me new and more powerful weaves of elemental magic. Once they are
mastered where will my magic go from there? Perhaps there are other
elements or combination that I have yet to uncover. Magic and wisdom
should go hand in hand.
As my dedication to the Lady Jaguar grows I find myself seek more and
more philosophical information. What path have other gods laid out for
men? What need have we for the governments of man when so many gods and
goddess in their divine wisdom give blessings and teachings to man.
Their guidance is surely more supreme than any mortal command. I cannot
believe that the gods all agree on what should transpire in men. Simply
giving the VERY misguided view of the gods of war who think magic used by
mortal men is an abomination, while the very god of magic himself bestows
this knowledge to mortals for them to use. Much learning to be achieved,
and must knowledge to factor and study. I will seek the aid of my friend
Xoxi in the interpretation of such things. I am sure that he is very
wise in most things, for I find little he does not know. Well to be sure
he is not aware of magic in the ways that I am. He has not set food in
the planes of elements as I have. Perhaps one day I will take him to
these lands so that he may see the sources of power to which I wield in
the primal plane.
My world is rebuilding and my foundations is solid. From here my footing
is sure Lady Baerinika you are my compass.
Light, and Understanding Part 1
Added Fri Aug 31 17:33:20 2012 at level 45:
A chance was taken one eve on walking to the land where one is said to
find the Lady Baerinika's altar. I entered the mists I had heard
about, and walked by a few times in the past. I called out and was
greeted by Jaguars stalking out of the mists. At first I prepared a
weave of air to hold back the jaguars, but it would be unneeded. The
Spirit of Baerinika herself stood in the circle of combat beckoning me to
come speak with her.
I came forward to her cautiously because it was the first time I had ever
encountered a god or goddess. I fully expect to be consumed in fire should
I look upon her. She laid my fears at ease, and I looked upon her. An
elf warrior carrying a spear she was, but the awe inspiring aura that
exuded from her made my heart tremble.
I sought to purify myself and to understand why my feelings of this world
were so torn. She explaining that she was merely a guide. She is one
who helps you find the way. In seeking purity it must come from within
and to find that purity one must first see that each of us as well as
this world are flawed.
At first the idea seemed foreign and I had to think upon it. Lady
Baerinika gave me a task to accomplish that was two parts. I was to
understand what made me of the light, and what separates me from those
tainted red. The second part was to appreciating the light for what it
is in all its flawed glory.
With this task given she dispersed into that mists. Another duty called
to her.
I knew that I could seek out the Fortress of Light for perspective
outside my own, and my knowledge did not fail me. The Cardinal Illanthos
honored my request for discussion. We chose a quiet spot near the gates
of the fortress where a Tarabal was ever vigilant.
Light, and Understanding Part 2
Added Fri Aug 31 17:35:27 2012 at level 45:
We spoke briefly; his words were tempered out of the elven fashion, but
chosen in manners more accustomed to my race. That is to say, to the
point. His insights reflected somewhat my own. I am of the light in
that I choose action or inaction based on intent. My intentions being
for good, not for the good of me or the good of those with whom I am
interacting, simply for Good. What is right IS right.
He began to discuss his view of empathy for his fellow man. I was
dissonant to this as I feel for what has befallen my fellow man, but I
had to rise above my challenges and they made me stronger and more
resilient both mentally and spiritually, and they should rise as well.
Perhaps I am being hard hearted to this, but I would have to wait for
another moment of peace.
Our enlightening discussion was end by the blood thirsty Chancellor of
the Scions, mages who preserve in perversions of themselves. They revel
in death and chaos. The Chancellor came at me first hoping I would be
unshielded and open to attack. I was not, and so dropped back to the Red
Horn in order to bend the elements to my will. The Cardinal and I were
little match in our pseudo-prepared state. We both retreated back to the
Altar in the Voralian City. We barely had a moment to recover when the
Chancellor, a leader of bloodthirsty mages, set upon us again. In the
end, the supplications of the Cardinal, my continued weaves, and
intervention of the Justicar ended the resolve of the Chancellors
attempt on our lives. Truly this was an example of how Lady Baerinika
walks with us, aiding us in the battles of this world.
Freedom of Politics
Added Fri Aug 31 17:37:32 2012 at level 45:
It has often been asked of me what political affiliation of I have. I am
active in the Fortress of Light, do I collude with the Scions, or do I
run with the wolves? Since my mental break down, I have had no desire to
be involved in the politics of mortals. I felt that with gods having
their powers active in everything it was too much to have mortals trying
to dictate how one should live their life. I do occasionally find myself
drawn to both the Fortress and the Outlanders. I in turn bring aid to
those of the light as I can, but my belief that the gods and spirits run
my life draw me closely to the Outlanders. The one thing that drives me
away from the Outlanders are the Reavers. They walk a precarious path of
destruction that has its good intentions but its delivers pitfalls and
sometimes evil results.
So, for now, I still walk this world free of any mortal affiliations. I
have those that I am acquainted with, but I am dedicated to mastery of
myself in both magic and spiritual purity. Lady Baerinika be my guide.
