The Queens coronation and the start of a new era

[14/10/26 21:13] Aelis:Let the fireworks mark the start of the coronation then. *smiles*
[14/10/26 21:14] Aelis:I would like to say a few words first, is that okay?
[14/10/26 21:14] :Vahr wipes the flames off
[14/10/26 21:15] :Blackshade Rider is surprised Muratus is not attending this historical event
[14/10/26 21:15] :Invie hammered Aelis
[14/10/26 21:15] Syrian:he's probably here, somewhere, but yes please aelis
[14/10/26 21:15] Aelis:I'll take that as a yes.
[14/10/26 21:15] :Invie clobbered samon
[14/10/26 21:15] Aelis:Oh, nice.
[14/10/26 21:15] samon:The floor is all yours, Aelis
[14/10/26 21:15] :Aelis coughs
[14/10/26 21:16] Aelis:There are things we come to believe we will never see again. A new crown in Necrovion is one of those. It really feels like the impossible has happened.
[14/10/26 21:16] Aelis:For ten years, we spoke of Necrovion in the past tense. Now it is finally the moment for us to address its future.
[14/10/26 21:17] Aelis:Memories helped make this possible, but I don't want to talk about those right now. We have already extensively done so in the Memory Outpost events.
[14/10/26 21:17] Aelis:Instead, I would like to consider the "how", because I think it holds important lessons for us.
[14/10/26 21:18] Aelis:An empty space created the right conditions for everything to fall into place. All it needed was a spark.
[14/10/26 21:18] Aelis:I believe no single individual would have made this possible, regardless of how powerful they might be in terms of spells, items, stats or anything else.
[14/10/26 21:18] Aelis:The important here is that _people_ caused it to happen. I want to stress this because I truly believe it to be an important lesson, both for MD and for life.
[14/10/26 21:19] : Fang Archbane creates Marigold Nectar
[14/10/26 21:19] Aelis:This is what I feel is the real magic in MagicDuel: it was collective cohesion that helped bring about the "impossible".
[14/10/26 21:19] :Fang Archbane passed Marigold Nectar to Syrian
[14/10/26 21:20] Aelis:The structure was already present, in a sort of negative space. That space was naturally filled by what needed to be there.
[14/10/26 21:20] :Seigheart nods in agreement Ϫ♅
[14/10/26 21:21] Aelis:Together, your actions set things in motion and helped make this possible. Thank you to everyone who was part of this.
[14/10/26 21:21] :Aelis smiles as he turns to Syrian
[14/10/26 21:21] Aelis:Now...
[14/10/26 21:21] Vahr:Thank you for hosting the Memory Outpost events. You played a great part in making this all happen.
[14/10/26 21:22] Aelis:Once again, Necrovion has a Queen!
[14/10/26 21:22] Aelis:Syrian, from now on, many eyes will turn to you, and many hopes will rest on your shoulders.
[14/10/26 21:23] Aelis:That said, I can't think of a better person to bear this weight.
[14/10/26 21:23] Aelis:Through words and deeds, you have shown us, time and time again, that you are fit for this position.
[14/10/26 21:24] Aelis:I have high hopes for the future you will bring forth...
[14/10/26 21:24] Syrian:thank you aelis, those words mean a lot, i hope that i can also continue to do so
[14/10/26 21:24] :Aelis smiles
[14/10/26 21:24] Aelis:Your return marks the shift of an imbalance that has remained for far too long.
[14/10/26 21:25] Aelis:I believe this will bring new and old people alike to this realm. Call it coincidence, retrocausality, or what you will.
[14/10/26 21:25] Aelis:You will stand at the center of it all. I look forward to seeing what you make of this opportunity.
[14/10/26 21:25] Aelis:Remain forever restless, old friend...
[14/10/26 21:25] Aelis:...and know that, whatever comes next, you can count on me. *bows*
[14/10/26 21:26] Aelis:Long live Queen Syrian! *claps*
[14/10/26 21:26] samon:Long live Queen Syrian!
[14/10/26 21:26] :Aelis passed Black rose to Syrian
[14/10/26 21:26] Vahr:Long live the Queen :)

[14/10/26 21:27] :Aelis passed Imprinted Dark to Syrian
[14/10/26 21:27] Invie:Long live Queen Syrian!
[14/10/26 21:27] Aelis:Thank you. *bows*
[14/10/26 21:27] :Invie dominated Aelis
[14/10/26 21:27] :Eara Meraia smiles and nods
[14/10/26 21:28] samon:Thank you, Aelis
[14/10/26 21:28] :Invie annihilated Eara Meraia
[14/10/26 21:28] samon:I shall take it over from here
[14/10/26 21:29] samon:During the final day of the memory outpost, we talked about a future for Necrovion.
[14/10/26 21:29] samon:There, the people gave their unanimous support for a new Necrovion and the realm has listened.
[14/10/26 21:29] samon:A Necrovion ruled side by side with the shades.
[14/10/26 21:29] samon:Where Syrian would once again claim the crown of the human population.
[14/10/26 21:29] samon:Today we have gathered to fulfill this promise.
[14/10/26 21:30] samon:Therefore, I present the crown of Necrovion.
[14/10/26 21:30] Seigheart: (Hey Invie, heads up, attacking during ceremonies is not liked... I learned that the other day) Ϫʓ
[14/10/26 21:30] :samon raises up a diadem woven from thorn-vines, encrusted with lonsdaleite and swirling darkness.
[14/10/26 21:31] :samon steps behind Syrian and carefully places the crown on her head, making sure it rests firmly.
[14/10/26 21:31] Chewett: ( Tags: Sanctuary, No jump )
[14/10/26 21:31] :samon passed Thorn-Set Lonsdaleite Diadem to Syrian
[14/10/26 21:31] Syrian: *lowers her head slightly as samon places the crown* thank you samon
[14/10/26 21:32] :samon smiles while stepping back and turns to the audience
[14/10/26 21:32] samon:Long live Syrian, Queen of Necrovion!
[14/10/26 21:32] Vahr:Long live the Queen!
[14/10/26 21:33] Seigheart: Long live the Queen :) ɤ♑
[14/10/26 21:33] Marvolo: *claps ans smiles* long live the Queen! ﬖ♅
[14/10/26 21:33] Seigheart: If you don't mind, I have something I would like to say :) ɤ⺗
[14/10/26 21:33] Syrian:go ahead seig
[14/10/26 21:34] Blackshade Rider:Id like to present the queen with a gift
[14/10/26 21:34] Seigheart: (I have to leave shortly otherwise Id wait) ∯Ϟ
[14/10/26 21:34] Seigheart: Friends, shades and wanderers of every road, I stand here as a maker, not a courtier, so forgive me if my words come out rough, like an unfinished blade. ϞϠ
[14/10/26 21:34] samon: (No worries, it is the perfect time :) )
[14/10/26 21:34] Seigheart: I've spent my life at the forge, and the forge teaches one hard truth: what breaks can be made again, and sometimes the second making is stronger than the first. ʓ₪
[14/10/26 21:35] Seigheart: Necrovion has known breaking. It has known silence and ash, and long nights without a crown. Tonight it knows its Queen again. ♑∯
[14/10/26 21:35] Seigheart: Syrian, you once spoke of a realm where the living and the shades could share the same ground without fear. Some called that a dream. ʓɤ
[14/10/26 21:35] :Blackshade Rider hand the queen a note marked with a special item
[14/10/26 21:35] Seigheart: I call it a blueprint, and every good blueprint asks for hands willing to build it. So hear the Maker's Circle's pledge: ʓﬖ
[14/10/26 21:35] Seigheart: Our hammers are yours. If your walls need mending, we'll mend them. If your people need tools, armour, or a lantern against the dark, the Forge will burn for them as it burns for us. ɤ∯
[14/10/26 21:36] Seigheart: May your reign be tempered like true steel, hard enough to hold and wise enough to bend before it breaks. ∯⺗
[14/10/26 21:36] Seigheart: Long live the Queen of Necrovion. *raises a soot-darkened hammer high, then lowers it into a deep bow* ∯₪

[14/10/26 21:41] samon:Although, due to its dangers, I will truly hand it over at a later moment.
[14/10/26 21:41] samon:For a long time, I have patrolled the Necrovion Wasteland.
[14/10/26 21:42] samon:Today, Necrovion is a wasteland no more.
[14/10/26 21:42] :Vahr smiles
[14/10/26 21:42] samon:Therefore I believe the protection of the land should once again become the responsibility of the Necrovian people.
[14/10/26 21:42] :samon pulls a glass jar filled with black mist out of their cloak
[14/10/26 21:43] :samon kneels down before the new old queen
[14/10/26 21:43] :samon holds the jar up towards Syrian
[14/10/26 21:43] samon:Queen Syrian, I hereby offer you the Necrovion Death.

[14/10/26 21:47] Marvolo: From me to you, my Queen. A token of my loyalty and dedication to your reign. You know the intent poured into its creation. My spirit as well as your own blood flowed through my hands to bring this into being. Now they are entwined into this offering, forever. ∯₪
[14/10/26 21:48] Marvolo: May this gift stand as a testament to my allegiance to your crown, and to the regard with which I hold its bearer. Ϡʓ

[14/10/26 21:52] Syrian:please do, eara, i'm glad to see you back again as well
[14/10/26 21:53] Eara Meraia:I remember the time when Syrian set her first footsteps in this realm. Child of Necrovion we called her – naughty and playful and so sweet and tainted. *smiles*
[14/10/26 21:53] Eara Meraia:* Look at you now, my dear, how you have grown.
[14/10/26 21:54] Eara Meraia:I am really proud of you and I trust you have a potential to be a great ruler – wise and strong and kind and cunning when it needs to be.
[14/10/26 21:54] Eara Meraia:A couple of things I wish for you – in all the glory that is to come, do not forget who Necrovion truly belongs to, cherish the entropy and preserve the balance;
[14/10/26 21:54] Eara Meraia:listen to those small voices – others ignore, respect invisible things others might not notice, embrace the dead and undead and living and you will become great as those before you or even greater.
[14/10/26 21:55] Eara Meraia:Preserve memories of the past and learn from them to lead your land to a future where it develops to its full potential.
[14/10/26 21:55] Eara Meraia:Live long and prosper, Queen Syrian of Necrovion!
[14/10/26 21:55] Vahr:Long live the Queen!
[14/10/26 21:56] Syrian:thank you eara, i would hope the child is still in there somewhere, having her little games as she always did
[14/10/26 21:56] Aelis:Lovely words, Eara.
[14/10/26 21:56] Eara Meraia:I am certain she is, my dear. Let her out to play sometime :)
[14/10/26 21:57] Vahr:I’m didn’t have any words prepared but perhaps I can still speak.
[14/10/26 21:57] Vahr:I*
[14/10/26 21:58] Syrian:you don't have to prepare anything to want to speak, if you have something to say i would love to hear it
[14/10/26 21:59] Vahr:Well, I’m our short time together, you have shown grace, gentleness, regality, and a great understand of what it means to be a leader. You care about your people and don’t use your crown as a blunt instrument to enhance your power. They say power corrupts, but you seem incorruptible.
[14/10/26 21:59] Vahr:My respect for you grows the more I witness you.
[14/10/26 22:00] Vahr:You have my service, your Majesty.
[14/10/26 22:01] Syrian:thank you vahr, from someone that has only seen a little of me i am grateful that you think as such
[14/10/26 22:01] Vahr:I look forward to our future together. This is a wonderful beginning.
[14/10/26 22:02] Vahr:I tried to forge an item for you but came back with. Teapot :P
[14/10/26 22:02] Vahr:One day I’ll give you a proper coronation gift :P
[14/10/26 22:02] Eara Meraia: *laughs out loud* adorable
[14/10/26 22:02] Nep:Teapots are nice. Maybe not something the shades would appreciate, but still...
[14/10/26 22:02] samon:I happen to know Syrian is quite fond of tea
[14/10/26 22:03] Marvolo: I bet our Queen enjoys a cup of tea. Ϡ∯
[14/10/26 22:03] Syrian:there is no pressure for that at all vahr, i appreciate the effort, and thank you nevertheless
[14/10/26 22:03] :Vahr smiles
[14/10/26 22:03] Syrian:they do have a point though
[14/10/26 22:03] Vahr:I’m sure you already have one.
[14/10/26 22:04] Vahr:Anyways that’s all :)
[14/10/26 22:05] Aelis:Would anyone else like to say a few words?
[14/10/26 22:08] Ledah:Get on with the show
[14/10/26 22:08] Aelis:There you go. Ledah said a few words.
[14/10/26 22:08] Aelis:Syrian, I think it's your turn now.
[14/10/26 22:09] Syrian:I would first like to thank everyone again for their support, I know I have said it a lot already, but it is truly a momentous occasion that would not have been possible without the support of the many people who contributed.
[14/10/26 22:10] :Eara Meraia passed Spider web to Sunfire
[14/10/26 22:10] Syrian:I would like to also give special thanks to Aelis, for his role of stirrer of memories, i think we can all agree he has managed to do exactly that.
[14/10/26 22:10] Syrian:For my first act as a post coronation queen, i would like declare my intent to grant citizenship to a few individuals. This will be granted later, due to the tools usage cooldown.
[14/10/26 22:10] Syrian: (3 hours, really killed the vibe for me :()
[14/10/26 22:11] Syrian:Firstly, to Redneck, for his decisive choice from the beginning to leave his knighthood with the Bell, and once again pursue his relationship with the shades.
[14/10/26 22:11] Syrian:Secondly, to Marvolo, he has always been a loyal NC, and while he showed up a little later, he has proven that is still very much true.
[14/10/26 22:11] Syrian:For the third, i would like to shift to someone new, not of the old NC's, but one that was with us for all of the remembrance's, and was keen enough to ask questions and find a new path.
[14/10/26 22:12] Syrian:I welcome Vahr, to the land of NC, with the hope that he can bring some new opinions and ideas, while staying true to the ones we are trying to build.
[14/10/26 22:12] :Vahr smiles widely
[14/10/26 22:12] Syrian:I also have another, one that may or may not be a surprise to some, but i would like to also welcome Samon, for all they have done with the death patrol over the years.

[14/10/26 22:13] Blackshade Rider:That avy should be better framed now and not as small
[14/10/26 22:13] Syrian:With all of that out of the way, i think it's about time for something a little more dramatic
[14/10/26 22:13] :Syrian used the Opennecro stone to temporarily learn the Opennecro spell
[14/10/26 22:13] Marvolo:Even more?
[14/10/26 22:13] Seigheart: I didnt miss it :D ɤϪ
[14/10/26 22:14] Syrian:After 10 years it's about time that a necrovion once again set foot on necrovion soil
[14/10/26 22:14] :Seigheart watches eagerly ∯Ϫ
[14/10/26 22:14] :[Spell] open doors
