Description
===========================================
A small gnome is here dressed in black and
gold garments. His body is masculine and he
has smooth brown skin. His eyes are a dark
brown and his ears are pointy and long. He
has a small nose and large mouth with robust
lips. His chest is broad and his legs and
thighs are long and well built for walking.
The smell of arcane, and library books scent
the area heavily. His hands are covered in a
white bandage; bloodstained. His sharp teeth
are boderline vampiric and his demeanor seem
emotionless and detached.

Role
Once a Slave, Always a Slave?
Added Tue Mar 11 11:28:36 2014 at level 5:
=============================================
The woods are weary and the ground is soft. A
rain drop hits my forehead. No. it is not rain.
It is blood; blood from the corpse of the dead
beside me. I peer around and war is amongst us.
Us being the village of Kundor'Kao.
I try to stay focused; do as I am trained as a
young medic of the army. I bandage one man just
to witness another die. The corpses are many
and I've run out of supplies. Loud thunderous
magic distracting my thought and then it happen.
A magic bomb struck me and the last thing I see
is dirt and red. I blank out......
I awaken at my village medic center. It is I
whom is bandaged now. The War had been lost
and my village have come under the authority of
the Bandit King. Slaves we were for Order. I
no longer was allowed to think for myself. Time
dictated my life and depending on the depth of
the sun determined if I had to go to training
or the mess hall for nourishment. The Bandit
King assigned me to the medical unit due to my
experiences.
Due to the edict that all men of my village had
to be trained in combat; I was assigned to study
within the Shapeshifter's guild. Protect your
comrades and crew the King's edict demanded of
my position and rank.
Protection. That word became everything to me. If
a unit went out to War, I was there on the front
lines taking the blunt of the damage. Yes. Those
were the defining days of my conditioning. Time
would pass as with all things and the Badint King
had suffered betrayal. The House of the Bandit
King became broken and I set free. But, what would
I do with my life now? How could I think without
being told how. All I know now is protect my men
and protect my cause. But, what cause now?
=============================================
Finding Light on a path of Darkness
Added Sat Mar 15 09:02:55 2014 at level 11:
==============================================
For the first time in decades; I've adventured
alone across the face of Thera. Meeting others
along the way, but never a noticaeable or long
tenured friend. Merely minding my business; I am
in search for something.
I seek a purpose and cause, beyond the massacre
of my people over the course of slavery. An act
of genocide if you will. I am angry and at times
depressed, dreadfully sad even. I hate what I
have become. Selfish, and greedy hoping the next
thing I have will not be taken away. Deprived of
values for so long and you begin to hoard them.
Amongst all these obstacles along the road of
discovery and freedom. There is Order. it is so
much apart of me now that I could not imagine
Chaos in my actions if I tried. This road is dark
at the moment. Leading me to what I know not. I
search for a sign and find none. Perhaps I lack
Hope or perhaps, I simply am not searching hard
enough. I will continue to walk; my magic close to
me every step of the way. I look to the heavens
as I trek this road and there casted in the night
is a shadow of divinity. There it is, Lord of
Order and emblem of Protection. Destuvius.
Perhaps it was a sign, as it hoovers over the Ruins
of the village of BattleRagers. I shall follow it
until I find light at the end of the road. In those
Ruins could be my destiny. It is better then a path
in which I navigate blindly.
==============================================
A Pledge to the Grand Design
Added Sat Mar 15 12:49:49 2014 at level 18:
=============================================
Protection is what I found amongst the Ruins
and the calling of my purpose was made known.
I must contribute to the Grand Design as it
is said through Destuvius.
My contributions shall be to the Spire. It is
there I shall hold a position of Protection
for free men and women of Thera. I've pledged
to the Captain in hopes to appeal to Destuvius
whom I someday seek to be marked by.
As a Magistrate, my skills and talents in
defense will build a greater Society and
breed structure over demise and chaos. My
enemy will be the Lawless and the disruption
of foundations. Now I've found my destiny.
I will surely study the Law deeply and seek
the post of Justiciar to influence it suit
the Will of the Grand Design.
=============================================
Magistrate and Tribunal
Added Wed Mar 19 09:04:43 2014 at level 44:
======================================================
I've been a Magistrate for a couple of years and life
don't get any harder. Other factions have choices and
in many cases are not sitting targets. My enemies come
for us in the cities, Spire with no regards. Policy at
the moment dictates we are not able to do the same. I
feel helpless and restricted by policy. I've watched
dozens of occasions where Villagers raid and Scions do
the same with no consequence. There will be a time and
place where this is no longer acceptable. I dread the
village and despise the Scion. However, patience is a
virtue of mine. I am merely a Magistrate amongst the
Tribunal and by no means can I effect policy.
I had a recent conversation with Provost Alicade whom
indepth gave her account of the state of the Spire. It
is settling was her remarks and I do agree with her. We
have seen three Provost in a short time and I can only
imagine the lingering impact. But, this verdict of our
Provost gives me hope. I too seek to rise in the ranks.
Not because I MUST rise, but because I seek to have a
better impact on Order and contribute more to the Grand
Design. The archbishop of Destuvius, said to me that I
should be grateful for my station, but be sure that I
don't become complacent and want more.
The Tribunal is my life and while I am pleased to be a
Magistrate. I would want to become a Provincial soon.
======================================================
The Rise of my Arrogance
Added Wed Mar 19 09:11:13 2014 at level 44:
======================================================
For me personally beyond the means of duty; I've grown
more entitled in my quest for ultimate Order. I see no
other means of life and demand that others think and
see as I do; or face dire consequences. I will use any
method of deceit, manipulation or mercilessness to find
the truth and protect the innocent of Thera.
I serve a mightly Lord Destuvius and ally to many of the
Imperial faction. I've zero tolerance for my enemies
and am quick to demoralize them at given oppurtunity.
I pray as much as I can and occassionally visit my Lord
Shrine to earn both his support and perhaps his marking
one day. As I rise in my guild, I imagine my reputation
shall grow and as well as my ego.
=====================================================
The Arrogance of a Hero
Added Wed Mar 26 08:28:04 2014 at level 51:
==========================================
I'm a Hero of Thera and I've desserved all
of the creditability that comes with it. I
did it on my own and rose from the depth of
oppression. A once slave and now fighter of
such freedoms many are entitled to. Freedom
to walk safe streets, shop and live in peace.
Freedom to not have to worry about being a
victim or robbed of their belongings. Free
to live in a orderly society. Yes, I can now
brag about my place on the top of the hill.
I am confident that no one can do what I can.
I am a protector of the weak and innocent and
a shield to Destuvius. As I grew to the top
of my guild; so did the influence of my Lord.
Nothing now can stop me, and as proud as I
am to be a Magistrate, there is still work
to be done.
Along my journey; I've gathered a hatred for
both the Village and the Outlanders above all
others of Thera. They were weak and desserving
of nothing. I intend to demoralize their
spirits and Will at every chance I get. I also
intend to persuade the Spire to do the same
over time. Protection and Order is what I stand
for and not for a moment, am I humble about it.
==========================================
The "State of the Spire"
Added Sun Mar 30 12:25:32 2014 at level 51:
==============================================
Now amongst the most experienced of the Spire
and a Veteran. I am disappointed in where we
stand as a Spire. We are capable of more and we
can do more for the people we protect. But, not
at this state. A state where Magistrates don't
show up for duty. A state in which Leadership
is rarely seen and critical positions such as
Justiciar and Vindicator go unassigned. We are
cheaping the people whom demand on us out of a
great deal of service and I wish not to stand
for it any longer.
It is my purpose and destiny to ascend up the
rankgs of the Spire and make a difference. So
many have claimed it before me; however I will
succeed where they've failed.
==============================================
Bleed the Spire dry and Rebirth
Added Sun Apr 6 13:05:40 2014 at level 51:
=======================================================
The numbers of the Spire has dwindled to almost nothing
now. Once a full aspiring force, nothing but nearly ash.
But, only a fool would see this as a bad thing. I am a
bit impressed to be honest. Alas, A empty Spire to be
reborn under revitalized persuassio and influence. It is
a perfect oppurtunity to lead and mold Order. Time comes
and times goes, and my time is now. Rise I shall to the
needs of the Spire and perform at a heightened rate. It
is possible I may earn the attentions of the powers that
be.
=======================================================
A Formal Request to the Executioner
Added Tue Apr 8 08:19:01 2014 at level 51:
========================================================
Today, I stand in my guild overseeing the city of Hamsah
and yet again the Spire creaks with silence. I am alone
on duty and at times I feel as if I am the only Magistrate
honoring his pledge with the exception of Vree. New blood
is still slow and Leadership stagnant.
It was with great honor I sent forth an official request
to the Executioner with the intent of raising my rank.
It is in this capacity I hope to bring new blood in and
help govern the day to day operations along side other
Provincials. To keep a keen eye on all cities and do
the service I pledged to do.
Now I wait.
========================================================
Meeting Destuvius
Added Mon Apr 14 12:15:57 2014 at level 51:
=======================================================
My journey to Destuvius has been long but it has indeed
been profitable. Profitable in the sense of my own worth
and that Destuvius for the first time revealed himself
to me on such a rare occassion. I made the best of it
and presented myself before him for judgement. I learned
him to be a direct God and one with little humor. I do
admire this about him. Life is not a game and Order is
by father nothing to toy around with.
I was given a task and it made me feel empowered. In a
way that I could make a difference in the minds of those
whom would read my writings. A voice, perhaps even.
I remain proud in my faith now more then ever. Desutivius
has given me a chance.
Ruakao Saotome - The Magistrate of Galadon
Added Wed Apr 16 11:29:02 2014 at level 51:
=====================================================
Alas, my family name have been remembered and my
reputation have grown. My heritage was lost before the
time I was a slave; but not forgotten.
In all, things are surely changing within the Spire
for the good if I may say. Risdrin has risen to help
support Provost Vree and Einrai has assumed a vacant
office of Justiciar despite my dislike for him as a
person. Luckily, I don't have to like the people I
report to; however... I must respect them.
Rylium an old friend of mine was recently recruited and
my my surprise by a word of a Necromancer. This tells
me anything is possible in the name of Order. An Orc
ogrot is dead and Ishuntal has too been succumb by the
dirt. I can't say I would like it any better. The Tree
seems to be losing momentum and all I've found Destuvius
teachings to be the backbone of my life.
Yes, life is coming around for me now that I've been on
duty in Galadon for abit. The biggest and most active
jurisdictions of the four. Perhaps soon enough, I will
have proven myself to the place of Provincial.

Ruakao Saotome - The Betrayed by the Empire
Added Sat Apr 19 08:05:53 2014 at level 51:
============================================
Long as I knew life, have I served at the
pleassure of Order. One of those entities
was the Empire. Not anymore. I was betrayed
during a defense of the Palace by both the
War Master and a disgruntled Shadow Lord. It
was when I stepped from my form to speak to
my Brother Ooglarr of faith that I was bashed
into the crowd.
I've decided to take this death as a learning
lesson, and that the Empire can never truly
be trusted even in the name of Order. I will
plot and dish back a reasonable punishment for
this betrayal and I will be sure I hit the
Empire where it hurts.
============================================
Ruakao Saotome - Protection of Order, Ward against Chaos
Added Sat Apr 19 08:25:25 2014 at level 51:
=============================================
Here I am now, matured and well-known in what
I am and to be in life. I am the Protection
of all the is Orderly and a Ward against all
that is Chaos. I don't allow corruption to
creep into my being and I stand at ever edge
of civilization like a guardian over a flock.
I do it because it is in my nature and I've
been blessed by the gods of Magic and Destuvius
with forms to carry this mission out. From the
hard-shelled tortoise and the quill-spitting
porcupine; I am a force to be reckoned with.
Should I cross someone's path and they consider
my presence first before doing something stupid
then I've done my job. Should I have to hunt
and find out my prey to cause their submission
to Soceity and it's norms; then I shall.
I am what I am.
=============================================
Ruakao Saotome - The Children and Changes of the Spire
Added Fri Apr 25 10:15:57 2014 at level 51:
===============================================
I often find myself, while young; amongst the
eldest of the Spire now. Most of the Magistrates
I see as my younger siblings and children even.
Those at some point I've notured with knowledge
aid, support and understanding of Law. I am as
proud as a father could be considering how far I
have come and them alike. There are very few that
has been within the Spire longer then me and that
numble dwindles each day.
I think back on the days when most times, it was
just me roaming the lands against mass odds of
the Tree and occassional Orcs. Now those days are
long past. Now my days and evenings consist of
day's duty worth of watch and time in the Library
to study policy and procedure; foremost Law.
With the passing of Einrai, I feel even more a
oppurtunity to seize perhaps an elevated stature
on my knowledge of Law and how it impacts the
civilians I protect. Yes, times are different and
for the better.
===============================================
Ruakao Saotome - Provincial Magistrate
Added Tue Apr 29 10:21:42 2014 at level 51:
==================================================
Alas I've been elevated within the Spire and yet a
new post taken in the Grand Design. I have sought
this position to have a better impact on the Spire
and I intend to do that. A few areas I will focus
on is recruitment and Magistrate morale. I've known
our men to be good and valuable.
I praise Destuvius for the knowledge to be humble
in patient in the face of adversity, for I've grown
beyond simple arrogance, but now confidence.
I peer into the depths of the city and there I see
it, a better tomorrow, and greater, more protected
Civilization. Under this beam of Hope, I have faith
for the future of Society and as a Ward of Chaos; a
day of reckoning against the enemies of the State is
upon us.
==================================================
Mourned of another fallen Provost
Added Tue May 27 08:42:58 2014 at level 51:
==================================================
Much seem changed since my return from my critical
injury in which I was cared for well. The Spire has
yet fallen on hard times, that I so remember from
my youthful days on the job. Like Alicade, Vree has
too perished and the Spire yet again falls under the
Leadership of the Executioner, until which time a new
Provost is named. Through these transitions, I can
but remain hopeful and have patience. Perhaps it is I
whom could get an oppurtunity to lead the Spire in a
new direction. Regardless of that; my devotion to the
Tribunal is and will continue to be intact.
What disturbs me is the lack of understanding or
the disregard for Tribunal policy I seem to hear
so much about since my return. Whom are these new
Magistrates with no regards for what this Spire
is built upon. I assure you, it will have no
place amongst these halls for as long as I live.
Order is what seperates us from the savages and
beast and if we will behave as beast, then perhaps
they should be casted to the Tree. With the fallen
Provost, we must breathe new life into the Spire
and trek on despite the dark times that may rest ahead.
==================================================
Vacancies in essential Offices
Added Wed May 28 06:19:51 2014 at level 51:
================================================
Within the Spire there are two Offices that are
essentials which I may be able to contribute to.
Sitting here in the Library, I think to myself
the next step in my path to bringing a stronger
and more defended Civilization to like. A society
in which Order is paramount and even the most
harden criminal fear if not respect Law.
The Office of the Provost would allow me to put
a new vision on the Spire with old beliefs. It
will usher in a modern way of enforcing Law in
both operational efficiency and overall activity
for the men. Such position would be what I'd
strive to, but with all servants of Destuvius;
we tend to go where the Grand Design needs us.
The Office of the Justiciar would allow me to
impact Law that too will equally strike fear if
not respect into the most hardened criminals
and those whom do not obey the ways of Order. I
have even noticed with the lack of regard of
policy and procedure as of late; this may be a
good post to strive to.
While considering both paths; I leave it to the
wisdom of the Executioner.
================================================
Resignation as Magistrate
Added Wed May 28 15:58:18 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
I've failed the Spire this day. While fighting a criminal
in Galadon; I victimized a innocent citizen. I am ashamed
of my actions and should have been more vigilant. I am not
worthy to serve Order in such a prestige manner such as the
Tribunal.
Thus, I've turned my badge in and casted myself from the
walls of the Spire as the disgrace I am. How dare I be so
foolish and error in such a way. Risdrin trusted me and
so did the Executioner. May the gods of Order have mercy on
my very existance.
=========================================================
Redemption - A Ruakao Story
Added Sun Jun 1 16:40:37 2014 at level 51:
========================================================
Walking back in the halls of the Spire, I fear nothing
can stand in my way now. All while I was perfect; I learn
that I am flawed as any other mortal. But to be reborn
again in the Order and given a second oppurtunity is not
one I take lightly. I peer at the halls; weaker and more
vulnerable then when I left. It almost seems to diminish
each day; but by far not dead. I witness the young and
new blood of the Spire and they offer me hope. They offer
citizens faith in a system that have stood by the elected
officials for ages. Yes, in new mind and wisdom.. a story
only Ruakao Saotome can live and testify to at present date.
Speechless even as I reflect on the moment the Executioner
returned my badge. Now back to work; as the watch never
sleeps and crime lurks behind every corner.
========================================================
The Rise of an 'Empire'
Added Wed Jun 4 19:01:30 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
A few years ago after returning to the Spire, I was also
returned to my previous post. Since then, the Spire has
been on an incline and a 'steady' one. I'd want it no other
way. Filling the ranks with barbarians for the sake of
building a Spire is counter-productive. Other people don't
share that view; but as long as I have say-so as one of
the ones trust with inducting; it will reflect as such. I
not close minded to what other's think, but I seek to
build an 'Empire' in all the sense of a great symbol of
both Order and let us be honest, Power.
The concept of Power frightens others, because it is a tool
used to strike fear if need be into the 'hard-headed' and
the most hardened of criminals. I believe respect to be a
far greater asset then Fear. But, I won't argue with either
one if they get the point across that Law should be obeyed.
Law is like policy, no room for interpretation beyond it's
find print, and I govern myself to that as I reside in a
Prvostless Spire. Eagered I am to see what is in store for
us; it is like a new adventure and I enjoy good adventures.
=========================================================
The Niji's Empire
Added Sun Jun 8 09:40:54 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
Niji and I have great history, as a very young gnome he
assasinated me in the Elven Village. He'd later conspire
with the War Master Oogglarr while I was defedning the
Palace in the name of Destuvius and the Archbishop/Emperor
and slew me yet again after pretending to be allies.
A grudge I hold, and a deep one. But, it is not one to
reflect my duty and devotion to the Spire. I've no interest
of dragging my personal feelings into anything that would
cause the Tribunal to act on my behalf. I'm a big gnome now
and I can take care of myself. I will have the last laugh
in relation to the honorless, spineless Niji. He is nothing
to me and an Emperor in the least. I can only imagine what
shall come of all this; especially since he is now putting
a target on the Scales.
Perhaps when Niji is gone, I will restore my faith in the
Order in which the Empire once was.
=========================================================
A Glorius Day - Rise to Provost
Added Sat Jun 14 12:04:18 2014 at level 51:
===============================================
This day, I've been honor with the position of
Provost by the Lords that be. In action, I shall
each day offer the Tribunal my all. Order now
has a Champion at it's Helm and I intend to
usher in new beginnings. I've immediate plans
to address the recruitment issues, fill positions
and posts within each city and Provincial staff
and lastly, affirm our position against the vile
criminal.
We've work to do and not a moment to waste. "Hit
the ground running" as I've once heard. Strength
through Order and the Defense of Civilization. A
step up in my station within the Grand Design and
I will need Destuvius as much as anyone to guide
me more then ever now. I will need to ensure my
actions are always in the best interest of the
Spire and foremost never allow my personal thoughts
cloud my judgement. I am Provost now.
===============================================
Embarrassing Niji and the Empire
Added Sat Jun 14 18:18:19 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
Some use War to demoralize there enemies, I for being a
gnome see things from a wiser perspective. Niji has shown
his devotion to Order and outright threatens War on the
Spire over a personal quarrel. This is the weakness I've
been waiting for the Empire to show to the lands. Like a
child unable to control his temper; Niji will meet his
demise through my careful planning of leveraging the greater
Order in my defense. The Spire shall not react to War of
the Empire; but instead act as the civil adult and resist
the cries of the younger sibling or child. Ignore the
cries of a child long enough and they will pacify them
selves with other task. All the while, the Tribunal shall
always be known as the more mature force.
Know that we could crush the Empire. But, blood will only
result in blood. Culture change will result in a new culture.
=========================================================
The Use of the 'Dark Persuassion'
Added Tue Jun 17 08:28:04 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
As Provost, I will do what is needed to bring down the
Helms of Chaos from all corners of Civilization. Time I
reflect within the Memorial Hall within the Spire while
the drops of rain strikes the ground from outside. I can
hear the voices of the past and the cries of the fallen.
I take a moment and think, how can I be different. Fear not
of falling to the same fate as past Provost and die within
a wall of complacency. I will not be an idle Provost and I
will make a difference.
I am neither 'light' or 'dark' but I am Order. I believe
in not 'good' or 'evil' but, I am devoted and determined
to win this Age old War.
In War you need ruthlessness and coldness to demoralize
your foe to the point of submission. It is because of this
wisdom I turn to the 'Dark Persuassion'. Whom best know
the gift of War and blood then the dark forces. Since my
rise to Provincial; I've seen a increase in those whom can
devote to the Law and shed blood in the name of it. This
is not the way I'd wish. But, as a young slave gnome; I
know this method to breed results. I pray for a day when
I do not need such desperate plans.
I pray the day, Paladins can stand the place instead.
For now, Evil must pave the way for Good.
=========================================================
Lose of Religion
Added Mon Jun 23 10:56:10 2014 at level 51:
====================================================
I will always admire Destuvius, but when it comes to
the taking of sides, it is clear from my last meeting
it is not the Spire he will support. How could I expect
anything different. I leave my faith and Destuvius with
no quarrel. I admire what he has taught and provided me
with. While Protection shall be at my core, Destuvius
shall not. Perhaps religion is not for me, my success in
it was met with not much reward. Worry not, I've obtained
a greater purpose and mission. One in which few can be so
blessed. It is now by the Gods of the Tribunal, I serve
only and completly.
====================================================
The Fetish, Code and Scales
Added Wed Jun 25 11:25:52 2014 at level 51:
===================================================
Roaming on my patrols about the city of Galadon I for
a moment consider the heavy burden upon the Executioner
to guard over not just the Scales, but the fetish and
the Codex. Items in which reside in his possession at this
very moment. I think of the circumstance in which got us
to this point. The fetish, a means of Chaos portrayed and
masked by false freedom. The Codex a means of oppression
through Chaos, masked by false Order. My duty since I can
remeber was to Protect, for PROTECTION is in the stars in
which I pray to.
Protection of Order and Civilization. The honor of being
a Provost comes with heavy burdens. Appropiate decisions
to make and like a crown it weighs. Yes.. Reflecting on all
of this reminds me of the simplier days. Times when I only
stood in Hamsah and leaving politics to the leadership of
then. Never had I imagined I'd be here. Perhaps this is an
oppurtunity that may never come again and it is likely best
I set the impression needed to make life easier for Magistrates
and citizens of teh future. A pioneer as I consider myself.
So no, I lift my head in consideration that victory is mine
this day and the cost of victory is a burden I'm willing to
embrace. As I sit here standing watch over the Codex, Fetish
and Scales.

Show of Might - In Honor of Risdrin and Umiron
Added Tue Jul 1 08:21:16 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
The Empire was only the beginning. The Tribunal has proved
that we are a force to be reckoned with. It is in these
times I move to the next phase of my Leadership. It was
always my intent to set a stage for a stronger more feared
and respected Order. A solitifide civilization. On this
day while watching the city of Galadon in it's peaceful
state; I divert all resources to the War on Criminals and
Extremists. Magistrates will go to all lengths to hunt down
criminals with no consequence should their intentions be
true. I'm quite pleased in this new initiative and look to
the fruits it will result in. I do such in the honor of
Umiron and Risdrin.

Life is Normal - Again
Added Sat Jul 5 20:44:56 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
Here I stand watch over the city of Hamsah. It was when I
was younger I remember this time in my gloriful career.
Training Regrag how to do warrants as exactly inscribed in
text reminds me even more of the days of Alicade the Provost
whom I respected much more then Vree.
I've lived through two Provosts, two seperate times where
the Spire went through a presentless transition. I've seen
War and Conflict through a personal greivance with Niji
and Empire; as well as the Outlanders. I've seen men rise
and fall around me and allies and foes die alike.
I've battled warmongering Orcs, served and denied myself Lord
Destuvius...
Now, life comes full circle and here I go again watching
the very citizens I protect. A fundemental Leader I think
I've become, learning from every experience. I'm happy in
my life; aging with the times.
What is left for me now, I do not know. I believe in my
hearts the gods of the Spire have something in store for
me. This surely cannot be the end. Have I seen the best of
life already? These I questions, I didn't use to have. It
is only now when one is amongst the elite do they feel the
end drawing near.

Life is Normal - Again II
Added Tue Jul 8 17:13:50 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
It was only a matter of time, before I would be demoted.
For I understand the politics of the gods and the divine.
Life is abit more normal now, I suppose. I blame no one and
and I realized that I had no control over my demotion. With
such I enjoyed the ride.
I'm probably the most powerful mortal alive. Considering I
took on two Imperials after slaying the entire Council in
the Throne Room of the Palace while being stripped of powers
in the midst and still lived. I'm one tough gnome.
What is my future now? I know not.
Welcome back home Magistrate Ruakao.

Alter Ego - Emerges
Added Tue Jul 8 17:30:38 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
I once again see chains, chains of my youth. Chains of the
past.
I feel angry and upset at the transgressions of Order out
of the clear sky. First it was Destuvius, whom tried to see
me peddle behind the Emperor. Now it is the Tribunal whom
betray me. I sit idle...
What are these thoughts I am having?! I ask myself over and
over! This can't be me thinking like this. I'm a dedicated
Magistrate and advocate of Order. I protect others...
But the voices say to me... You are oppressed, enslaved and
subject to the rule of others. You've no true value to them.
They use you and spit you out when they done. Umiron did not
even have the courage to speak to you, or Risdrin...
I then comtemplate to myself. " Not true.. perhaps they were
busy?" Umiron and Risdrin are busy Lords.
" No fool, they betrayed you." "Order is nothing if not even
the gods obey it"
I must gain control of myself, I cannot succumb to these odd
thoughts.

Free from the Chains of Order
Added Tue Jul 8 18:00:02 2014 at level 51:
=========================================================
I am free from enslavement. I am pure of oppression. I now
live to do as I please, when I please with no one to in
the slightest govern my actions.
I am no longer. Ruakao. Call me Kao.
Protection of Freedom is what I now stand for...

Fled to Daryslon - Kao is Born
Added Wed Jul 9 10:30:56 2014 at level 51:
================================================
Amongst the citizens of Daryslon I drag about my
isolation from more established civilizations. I
find myself not angry anymore, but calmed and of
tranquil thinking. The chains are broken and yet
I find myself again wandering as a child, I once
did. I reflect on my accomplishments. I was the
Provost of the greatest Order in the lands.
Yet, now I stand as a common man as I have always
been. Perhaps Niji was right about me. Perhaps I
always was an agent of Chaos beneath it all. Was
I ever truly sincere? Perhaps not. How could I be
the way I was born, raised and taught.
Some believe I seek the Tree. No, I'd never find
home there I'm sure. But, their ideals are quite
similiar; minus the fact no one will tell me what
to do anymore. I'm a free man and I will protect
the freedoms of all by all cost. I still believe
in Protection; only now. I am protecting the right
people.

Reflection in the Wild - Familiarizing myself with Home
Added Sat Jul 26 13:09:13 2014 at level 51:
================================================
Like a nomad I travel the wilds of Thera, staying
not too long in one place. I have enemies, many
who'd hunt me at moment notice. I find harmony and
strength with the trees and the grass. With the
means of life, for so long I had abandoned. Still
I am uncomfortable in the wild and this new life
will still require much of me. I put trust in the
Tree and the teachings of Elder Foedett.
I put trust in myself and yet keep pushing despite
all obstacles. Proud I am to have lived through a
life I've been given. It is yet the end of Kao.
================================================
First Strike in the War
Added Thu Aug 7 08:40:06 2014 at level 51:
==================================================
This day the Elders of the Tree called upon me. In
the depths of the wild where I had been for so long
I had for a moment lost the memory of what it was
like to be in Civilization. The buildings seem less
interesting and the people; I noticed invisible ropes
and chains about their necks.
Nevermind them, Foedett sought my aid in taking the
Codex and I was most pleased I could contribute. Even
without magic I raided the Palace and gave strength
to the Tree. The Codex was ours. But, it is the way
feel after that has governed my new inspiration. I
am fulfilled with joy that I gave back to Thar-Eris
and in her name.
