Children of the Eclipse

The Eclipse is currently recruiting Knights, Priests, or Priestesses. If you have an interest in the Children of the Eclipse, reply to this thread and I will PM you instructions in game or in the forum regarding recruitment. To join the Eclipse, we wish our to-be members to be knowledgeable in the alliance structure. Please read this topic: [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/6619-children-of-the-eclipse-information-update/"][u]Children of the Eclipse Information Thread[/u][/url] -Priestess -Priest -Knight of the Half Moon -Knight of the Full Moon If you have any questions regarding recruitment, Amoran K Kol and Tarquinus will be stationed at either th…

We are the Eclipse, a mystical and military alliance devoted to one purpose: the return of Night to MagicDuel. Perhaps you know what Night means in this realm. Perhaps you understand what the ever-burning Sun means, and why we seek to block it out, even for a short time. Perhaps you seek to look beneath the surface features of this world, our Purgatory of light. We, the Children of the Eclipse, believe in the harmony of light and dark and the advancement of all people. We use magic, prophecy, and steel to aid others in their quest to attain a higher level of being. Though we are a Loreroot alliance and swear absolute fealty to Loreroot's king, we exist to serve the real…

There are two orders that we seek to fill. [size=3][b]Clergy[/b][/size] Our religious order is made up of the Priestesses and Priests who serve and invoke the Moon in all her glory and wield mighty magics in her name. [size=3][b]Knights[/b][/size] Our knightly order made up of those whose gallantry and honour serve to protect the religious order against those who would pull down its might. We have need of warriors of true and stout heart, diplomats, researchers, seekers and all manner of intelligent beings to place the order onto a high pedestal in the community. Our heart lies in Loreroot and we stand as one of the defenders of the Lorerootian way of life. Con…

Herewith find a log of the recent occurrence at Wasp's Totem, which did find occasion to be bathed in nightfall.

Upon return to the realm some months ago, I had seen that few remain of the realm that were of the Children, and that which had been earned by mine brethren of the Eclipse, were no more. As one of the inceptive Priestesses of the Children of the Eclipse, I have read of the overwhelming support that had been placed upon the revival of the alliance, by those of the realm, in its time of need, and mine spirit were raised by reading of the words of those that had come after. I seek to return the Children to their presence, and their role within Loreroot and the realm. I call upon those who knew the Children, or that do share its ethos, for the return of Night to the…

I have written it, as promised and I received no objections to posting it for public viewing. I decided to post it in a new topic, for the sake of clarity. I hope it's readable - I wrote it in a google document and formatted it nicely, but the forum might break some of the formatting. Constructive criticism is welcome. It may not be perfect and there may be issues that escaped my mind or that I did not phrase properly, so please suggest improvement (how and where to do it), if you believe it is necessary. Also, I will update this first post with a list of people currently interested in committing themselves to this journey of bringing the CoE back. Player List…

Is it still possible to bring this alliance back? If yes, then I am more than willing to dedicate myself to it and rebuilding it, restructuring if necessary (I shall need to document myself properly first, to read all of the alliance's old lore, which I may have forgotten), recruiting and, if I shall be permitted, leading it. Should the answer be YES, then I will work on a full manifesto as to why I want it back and my plans for it. If it is impossible (due to it being deleted permanently or something as it was abandoned a year ago, I think?), then please respond so. I am only interested in "NO" if it cannot be brought back due to game mechanics or restrictions t…

Nightfall at the Oak Fort The air was stiff within the cold, dank walls of the prison cell, yet, she was surrounded by many familiar characters. It was one of those dreams, a swirling wall of shades from which there is no respite, in which she becomes haunted, consumed almost by the ghosts of forgotten memories. She tries to counter this by cultivating memories rich, like gardens, from the compost of experience; however, this is a dream in which she feels totally out of control as if forced to ride in the passenger seat of her own mind. The walls dripped silent echoes, a peculiarity not lost by her, as she fades in and out of consciousness. In one moment of bri…

Greetings, one and all. I return from a long period of inactivity, but others have carried the flame in my absence. I now wish to muster those who still call themselves Children of the Eclipse. This is the roster of current, active members, to the best of my knowledge:[list] [*]Mystic [*]Amoran K Kol [*]Phantom Orchid [*]Esmaralda [*]Tarquinus [*]Darry Dabby [*]Aranna [*]Marvolo* [*]Karak** [*]Sparrhawk** [/list] *affiliation uncertain **possibly semi-active If you consider yourself a member of the Eclipse and do not see your name on this roster, contact me via PM.

[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Since before the personal request month started, I was noticing fellow Lorerootians awaiting the return of the Eclipse. It had appeared they lost all hope. Some of them were awake at times, some logging in just for active days, and some not awake at all.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]I had nothing to do with CoE --> I never thought of joining any other than the Guardians of the Root. Nor will I join CoE if and when it returns.[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]So yeah, why I worked for it?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Firstly, this would pro…

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]The moon chalice rests in the Defensive Quarter[/font]'s chest. At this time it emits a soft glow. [font=comic sans ms,cursive]I wonder - what may happen were it infused with sufficient heat? Children of the Eclipse and its supporters. Now is the time to show our will! May the radiance of the goddess forever light our path.[/font]

Magistra seems to be plagued by a rumor that she helped Pip and Child of the Soul steal the CoE badge. At her request, I will say that I have no reason whatsoever to believe this rumor is true. Both Pip and CotS are pretty honest and forthright men, so I believe they would confirm Magistra's lack of involvement with the coup if anybody had the gall to ask them about it. Since it seems to be unclear why Magistra was "kicked out" of the CoE (to the extent that anyone can be kicked out of an alliance with no badge), allow me to clarify: Magistra was dismissed for insubordination and lack of respect to Amoran, the Sibyl. She freely admits to both of these "crimes".

It seems my presence in the realm is wanted. I shall return to it more frequently, so. Before we begin any plans, however, I would like to hear from all persons who still consider their characters part of the Children of the Eclipse. Please post days and times (server time) you plan to be active in MagicDuel. I will be active around 04:00 - 06:00 most weekdays, perhaps a bit longer on Fridays. I will be available from 20:00 - 10:00 (the next day) or so on weekends. The purpose of getting these times is to coordinate actions and events. Please let me know what will work for you.

I will be honest. I have not been active recently, but I was absolutely disgusted to log in and find that the once 30 member-strong alliance: The Children of the Eclipse, the thing that I and so many others had put so much effort into was disbanded... Due to lack of members? Was there not a request placed by Pipstickz to the Council to have the member count reduced so that it could be returned to us? I have chosen to try one last time.. to give one last small effort toward regaining our alliance. I petition that the Children of the Eclipse be returned once and for all to the members who worked so hard for it to be what it had been. Please post if you support this …

Pipstickz, I want to give you a chance to show that you are not a mean-spirited kid with too much time on his hands, but you're making it hard on me with these inflammatory posts which you immediately have locked. I think it's time to discuss something in a calm and mature fashion: how you came to have the CoE badge and why you choose to keep it. We, and by we I mean tankfans specifically shared it to the Loreroot Citizens forum, have a PM from Child of the Soul that seems to indicate that you plotted with him via Pipstickz, your primary MD account, or else in person through another means, and instructed him to "give control" of the CoE to your Lord Pip account. Here's …

When I took the Children, I was not sure how I would go about giving it back, if indeed I would. Now I have decided: ChildoftheSoul joined CoE because he was told to, but he was not told why. When I asked him to send the invitation so that I could take the alliance, he was unprepared for the social pressure of having most of Loreroot hate him. After a few days, they convinced him to invite Neno Veliki, so that he could take the alliance back for them. I noticed this, kicked CotS, and cancelled the invitation. Since then, I have seen PL entries such as this one written about him: [i]"Treacherous - not to be trusted."[/i] This has proven to me just how vindictive and j…

The true Eclipse - that is as distinguished from the "official" Eclipse who took our badges - has renewed its Pact with the leaders of Necrovion, Peace and Azull. [size=5][b]Pact of the Sands[/b][/size] These are the terms of the pact between the forces of Necrovion and the Children of the Eclipse, one people, one purpose. I. War: The forces of Necrovion and the Children of the Eclipse shall not make war against each other. In situations where other alliances (as in that between the Eclipse and the Guardians of the Root) might force the two parties into conflict, both parties hereby agree to refuse to engage each other in warfare. II. Peace: The forces of Nec…

Well, actually, I'm not. Tarq is, because CotS betrayed his trust. But Tarq is just a character. As nearly as I can tell, and Tarq's flak at him notwithstanding, CotS seems like a pretty nice guy. I've told CotS OOC as much twice: once during his giveaway, and once at his joining the Treasure Keepers. Tarq may be judgmental and grudge bearing as all hell, but let me emphasize - [i]I am not Tarquinus,[/i] and Tarq is not I. Now, I confess I'm annoyed that CotS's attempt to help the CoE didn't succeed, but as the leader (now in exile) of the CoE, I have to bear responsibility for that failure. I do know how to take an alliance and I know what went wrong, but the blame for…

After long consideration, and by order of King Firsanthalas, the Sibyl has commanded me to update the roster of the Eclipse's membership. Inactive members shall be purged from the roster at the end of the calendar year. If you serve the Eclipse and wish to be listed as active, post on this topic. [u]Active Membership[/u] [b]Prelates:[/b] Amoran K Kol - Sibyl Phantom Orchid - Oak Priestess of the Sanguine Moon Marvolo - Hierophant Mystic* - Sibyl Emerita [b]Officers:[/b] Tarquinus - Imperator (Knight-Commander) Karak - Captain of the Knights of the Full Moon Sparrhawk* - Captain of the Knights of the Half Moon [b]Knights and Clergy[/b][b]:[/b] Darrydabby A…

To the Children of the Eclipse: Some of you already know this, but I wish to announce it here: Lord Pip, an alt of Pipstickz, managed to gain entry to the CoE, take control of it through judicious sacrifice of creatures to boost his loyalty score, and expel all the members. He has since been joined by MRWander, formerly of the dastardly MR Fraternity. I am not sure exactly how I plan to get our badges back, but I am sure what I will [u]not[/u] do. This ought to go without saying, but just to be clear: I will not be approaching Mur or the Council about this matter, and I will not be attempting to prosecute Pip in the MD Court or any other body. I have no reason to thin…

[u][size=6][b]The Feast of the Cycle.[/b][/size][/u] [i][size=5]A Season of Change.[/size][/i] The Ceremony started at the Fields of Abandonment. Yet after 2 minutes, I was sent to GoE and Movelocked. Sooo… We decided to move the crowd. I edited some at the end, because there were lots of coins flying around. I wanted to edit the part out where everyone suddenly got the attention span of a fly (after Mur appeared) But I decided to leave it in because it gets a bit mixed with the actual event. Thank you to all who attended! It was much appreciated. [spoiler] (the part before I got teleported) Welcome! Moon-worshippers and Friends alike! Today, is a day we ack…

Sparrhawk at the moment is unable to fulfill the duties of a Half Moon Captain due to his obligations in real life. He is welcome to the position, always, and if he is brought into question, he can still be considered the Eclipse's Half Moon Captain... But we are looking for a captain to take on his duties and aid our Knights. The leaders of the Eclipse are doing what we are able to regarding the duties of our sleeping captain. [i][size=2]Edit: Edited...again.[/size][/i]
