The Seekers of Enlightenment

In our lives there are plenty creations of the mind that make us suffer or heal us just as much as physical contact with the physical world. Now, in MD they are called creatures and are supposed to be mastered and used in 'duels' with other minds, and mastering them starts with the fundamental issue of obtaining/knowing the name of the creature. However, in this topic I want to bring into focus the possibility of change. One creation that has divergent paths around MagicDuel is the angien, a dual creature which seems to represent different things. Now, I like giving this example found in Greek mythology, since it's quite easy to understand and works for many points t…

I will post this half-finished project because I cannot get the results I want, the way I want them. My goal was to discuss the subject with all who are awake and willing, but while doing that, I realized I cannot reach my goal this way. I have heard different opinions from everyone, there were no two alike, and while I enjoyed it, it's making things soo difficult. What follows are my own thoughts, although some were created only by talking to others. 'To bless'' or ''to curse'' are terms associated with religion, magic rituals and other esoteric. Yet to bless is nothing more than wishing someone well and to curse is nothing but wishing someone ill. Words are not eve…

The location of resources is something that i feel everyone should know, and i was glad to see that Sieghart would be releasing this data, And although there have been many comments asking when it would be released, why and such. It hasnt happened. So here it is, I shall be collecting a list of the resources at a location and posting it here.

[center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center][img]http://magicduel.com/art/housing/10b.gif[/img] Seekers of Enlightenment is the first created alliance of Marind Bell, and was only for a long period of time. Currently, Seekers are a group of people who conduct researches and gather some of their knowledge in Seeker library. The main focus of the researches is the symbolism in the realm, the nature of this realm, in a way philosopher's search for truth, about existence itself. Through our path to knowledge, we form and crystalize our identity, we seek spiritual enlightening and try to make our mind and soul progress. We do not seek power via the knowledge w…

We all know the crisis that is currently occurring. Our Monarchs and Friends are Dead. We must do something to try and resolve the matter. I, along with my friends and other Seekers will be holding a Heat Letting Ceremony at Angiens Ferry. During we shall talk with anyone else there, About what can be done, and what has occurred. I hope some of you will want to say something, about our dead, about how you believe it happened or how it can be resolved. The event will be held on Sunday 24th. It will be held twice, Once at 15:00 (server-time, GMT+2) and again at 22:00 (server-time, GMT+2) This is to facilitate multiple timezones. The 24th is also a Sanctuary day, So ther…

Handy has left the Seekers to go work with the Water Dowsers She has worked with us, and shall continue to work with us while she also does work with Nad. We congratulate her on moving to the Dowsers and wish her the best of luck with them.

I have posted up an article on [url="http://md-archives.com"]MD-Archives[/url] which details what happened before and up to when the alliance was formed You can read the article [url="http://md-archives.com/articles/seekers-of-enlightenment-the-foundation.html"]here[/url] If you wish to know more about SoE, this is the first article you should read. You can comment on the article on this post or by posting a comment on the website.

this was the basis that we had for closing the shrine, it can be developed and shaped in many other forms so in short the reasons behind closing it, or some of them not all

The Seekers officially reside in Marind Bell. So as such they are a part of Marind Bell. But, They are a more neutral guild and less affiliated with Marind Bell than most land alliances. As researchers we must try and keep our neutrality to make sure we do not sully the research with biased land based points of view. We do not demand members are loyal to the land, but that they merely must respect the land rules and monarch as a leader, if not their leader. This allows people from other lands to Join SoE once permission has been gained from their monarch, as a temporary or permanent position. Any appliactions from people outside Marind Bell will need to be dealt w…

The Seekers of Enlightenment would like to announce a research project for the players of MD write a paper in witch you tell us what do you think the symbolism of the SoE alliance crest is [attachment=2280:SoE crest.JPG] there are no restrictions on lenght or size of the paper, but decency is required, if it has pictures or other diagrams to support your thoughts is ok. feel free to deconstruct the Crest into its basic elements and explain every element at a time and put in all together at the end to find its meaning the way you can see it above. First Prize is a WP Second and third will also recieve a prize, which may include another Wp time limit: last en…

First entry: *From: *Shadowseeker* (ID:50659) "Symbolism. SoE- Seekers of Enlightenment? The first thing to notice when observing the crest is the merged picture of the sun corona around a crescent moon with a single star. This is the first hint towards duality, and also one towards the mind. I shall explain the general duality of this crest first. Dualism, as it occurs for the angiens as well, is represented not only by the contrast of the respective symbols for day and night, it also incorporates the Yin-Yang symbol into it as well. The single burst of the corona on the left side is one. The star in the darkness is the second. Each of these two represents the…

An alliance is merely a collection of like minded people, And without those people an alliance is nothing. So, to understand the alliance you must understand the people inside the alliance, So here i will mention each alliance member, From oldest to newest Senior SoE Members: Chewett - What to say about me? In relation to the alliance, i helped co Found it with some like minded friends a long time ago. Since then i have been in SoE ever since apart from a brief spell during some arguments with the King. I make enemies easier than friends, But will trust you until you prove me wrong, Then its a long climb back to regain my trust. Emerald Arcanix - Emerald is a deligh…

Most applicants that reach the final stage will have a trial period. They will be invited into SoE for this Trial Period. During this they will be made to do two main tasks 1. Write a paper - This can involve anything, the applicant can choose the subject. 2. Plan an event - This does not necessarily have to be carried out, But the planning and idea of an event is nesscary to show the creative side of the individual. The first is necessary. The second can however be changed based on what the applicant wishs. This will be discussed on a person by person basis. During the time in SoE, The applicant must not invite anyone. If you break this rule then you accept to …

The Seekers of Enlightenment are a small group of people that have banded together by their common goal, Knowledge. While the group initially Began Researching angiens, It has since then progressed onto other such Subjects as the Shades and the Beginning. Each Initiate chooses a research task to partake on, And through careful guidance they continue to learn about the subject their are fascinated in. Because of the diverse nature of each and everyone's research project a huge amount of knowledge has been accumulated during the time this guild has been active. As each researcher progresses and learns more about their field of expertise, we have shared information on ot…

Each month we will be giving the quest creators of Marind Bell the chance to attain a wishpoint for their quests. If your quest if good enough you may get a wishpoint for the time and effort you put into making this. These wishpoints will be funded by Lifeline, as he holds the MB wishpoint repository. If you see a good quest then please tell me so we can look at their quest

If you wish to apply to the Seekers of Enlightenment then you will have to be prepared. We will not accept anyone unless they have a good reason to join. Questions will be asked, Patience will be tested. If you suceed in getting into SoE then there will be many gains in terms of knowledge. Contact me via any means and i shall start the recruitment process. There is no limit to the amount of times you can apply so if you get turned down yet still wish to apply, you can re apply again.

The previous alliance was a research based alliance, But the issue was that it was partially based on the "old" Lore. With this new change the alliance will be reformed in the ideaology that Mur suggested to us all those days ago. Page 472 [2009-05-18 05:32:40 - The Traveler] Apparently without any relation to what happened in Necrovion, Liberty and Chewett gather in a secret meeting at Angien's Shrine. Something is going on with the Egg, or maybe new plans start to be made, few know. Some with a wilder imagination already see the similarities between a floating egg that has been there since the beginning of time and a mysterious floating orb in Necrovion, but is it …

The shades have been sought, and discovered. It occurred to chewett and myself that we need to know more about the opposition, the Angiens. From this alone, we can hypothesize that the shades are either lying or not giving the entire truth. They tell us that they reflect our desires to balance the light. But, the Angiens are the actual light that oppose the shades' darkness, which means that humans are actually the gray area (which makes the most sense because our own selves can denote whether we are dark or light). Thus, perhaps the shades balance by reflecting only negative emotions and doings, like a black mirror, and the Angiens do the opposite: reflect our posit…
