Roleplay Updates:

Hello! This will be a weekly check-in detailing Roleplay coming up for the weekend.

The Godless Gathering
Godless

5:30pm ES*
Tonight!
Tuska
Every Godless member, man and woman of every/any race are called for a gathering of the recent scout information given to Mark, and whats going on in the world of Gielinor.

The Mage's Conclave
All

6pm GMT, 1pm ES*
Saturday, March 5th
Wizard's Tower
The Annual Mage's Conclave! A meeting of Gielinor's best and brightest Magi, Wizards, and theorists on magic. This is perfect to send a magic-oriented character to, or an emissary to recruit people to your cause. Learn from the best to help your faction, or recruit the best into it.

This isn't an official Countdown roleplay, but due to the way the Conclave is, it is very likely to override most other roleplay for the day.

The Gathering
Z*ros

Time TBA
March 6
If all present can access Senntisten, then there. Otherwise, the Exam Center.
The time has come. X has gathered his allies. Now, it is time to gather, and discuss the plan of action. The Serenist, and Armadyllian envoy shall also be present, as per agreement.

Also, the First part of Desert Storm has been delayed one week, to next Sunday the 13th. This is due to Jagex not giving us a lore update necessary for the writing team to carry out our duties in writing the first plot event.

Title:
Time does not always heal.



"I was not there for her birth, but I have seen it. I could not help her take her first steps, but I gave her my confidence. I was unable to give her stability in a home fraught with loving chaos, only sigh as I watched her grow.

All I was ever able to do was watch her from afar. She was my world, my reason to exist. I watched over her from my seat in the stars, and hallowed her dreams so that she would never fear in her most vulnerable times. As she grew, she became aware of me. The day she said she wanted to see me was... I know not the words in Common to express my joy. I should have declined; This was my prison now, and she should not have witnessed it. But I caved in, and found a way to be with her. To hold her in my arms like my dreams foretold. She was barely seven then.

I guided her in the ways of Balance as best as I could, but she was more of her mother than I. I chose to kindle that fire, that passion. I let her choose her own path, and I empowered her. I trained her in combat, how to hunt, how to survive; Its what she enjoyed after spending her early life with the Moon Clan, and I could not fault her for her ambitions. With me she grew into a fine warrior, better than anyone in my old tribe... Maybe even better than I. Whenever I would look at her I swelled with pride and happiness. Of all my deeds in my time, she was the only one that mattered.

I look at her now and all I see is sorrow. The once great and powerful was reduced to the primal instinct of fear, to fight or flee. She was twisted because I allowed to come here, to see me. I ignored my dreams and the tales they spun... And now that consequence's price falls on her shoulders to spite me even more... And I have no idea how to bring her back, to pick her up and guide her back to me.

It is said time heals all wounds. I have lost hope in those words."
The Druid is dead.

So is RS RP it seems.

Title:
The Trickster


Sliske was not someone you would want to run into in a dark alley. This I remember quite well. After all, he didn't receive the title 'spymaster' by accident. He is most certainly dangerous, now more than ever. However, it is quite clear that he is very much insane. I shudder at the thought. Now, it is worse than ever. He has followers now. An army, so to speak, of willing, likeminded individuals. They still say that this war is a game. They still say that it has rules. This is a war. All are affected. All rules are void.

A game that has no rules, their representative told me, is pure chaos. I agree with this, but that is exactly what this all is: Pure, refined, chaos. And so, all rules will be nulled. They threaten to speed up the action if the action does not happen on it's own. I say "Let them come." The world has come to the point where nothing that they can do will change anything. Naturally, I am worried that they will strike at the trust of us within the alliance. In fact, the representative did try to sow seeds of distrust within us during our meeting.

This is why I plan to hold a meeting. A very important meeting, of us, members of the alliance. We will ensure that they cannot draw us apart. This will be done through one way, and that was, is the true way. The world will fall, but we will stand united, looking down at it as it screams for mercy. They will scream for help, as they fall. Beg us to assist them as the fires that they themselves lit consume them, and we will look down upon them, and answer: "No."
"I am true divinity! I am the father of nations and peoples! I am the thing you merely pretend to be! I am God, and I am King, and you can never defeat me!" ~Galath, Infinity Blade

Title: A Doll's House

I don't know why I kept this thing. Stupid really, but I do. I pull it out fairly often. Didn't used to. Used to pull it out every few years. I suppose I look at it now as war becomes inevitable. It's not particularly valuable, but one of my more sentimental possessions. I don't suppose I've actually written its story down.

Found it years ago, it was in West Ardougne when Thorvald's forces had the city surrounded. Not sure how I ended up defending the west, but I did. Waves and waves of the undead came against us, but we held the line. Aranitus fought at my back, it's a shame he's not still around to watch it anymore. Strange how friendships arise, I first met him when I captured him and had him tortured in Ardougne. He didn't seem to hold a grudge, suppose war makes for strange allies. Anyways the doll, After a certain point Thorvalds undead began to look different, not just the bandosians and humans who had died in the past, but more recent ones. Those who must have died in the assault. I was attacked by a child, she couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. She was already dead, but it was so recent you could hardly tell.

I'm not the one who killed her, but I dispatched the undead version of her. The doll was in her hand, she must have died clinging to it, and I suppose her body didn't want to let it go. So I took it. A reminder of the cost of war. I'm tired of fighting. I don't particularly know why I do it anymore. At one point I probably did it for wealth or power, but I've had that. At one point I probably did it to have a story to tell, but I've got plenty. I don't have any biological children, I think that may be my regret. I've had plenty that I considered children, but it's not really the same. So I don't really know why I fight. I don't know why I keep this doll either, certainly not for anyone else, but I don't think it's for myself.

Title:
Rebirth


Oh, I remember very little clearly. It tends to happen when your mind is shredded and reassembled. Memories tend to blend with each other. But this is something unforgettable, and unforgivable.

I was a Horse Trader, in my previous life. I sold poorly bred horses that looked like Stallions to unsuspecting Asgarnians, and got rich from them. Yet, it came back to bite me one day. The man was a Wizard, brown beard and black robes, and bought a white "stallion." I knew he would be angry later, but I'd be long gone. Except I wasn't. The man found me.

And he loved the horse enough that he produced a gold ring, diamonds set within it. He proposed to me, as I slipped the ring on my finger. That is when I knew something was wrong.

Everything went dark, I couldn't hear what was around me. I didn't know it then, but the man sent me to the Shadow Realm, and the ring was a one way ticket. It wouldn't take me back out. It was miserable.

I was corrupted, and Gods, I felt it. My mind began to break, I got taller, thinner, and bustier. My mind drifted often, as I learned shadow magic from shadow elementals. Eventually Daddy came and freed me.

Daddy brought me back to Gielinor, and it was as bright and green as I remembered. Though, different. I had come to realize this was all just a game.

Daddy taught me how to go in and out of the Shadow Realm, which I perfected easily. Whatever happened to me, the Shadow Realm and Gielinor alike loved me, always pulling and drawing me back and forth. I feel as if I'm in both and neither at the same time.

Daddy saved me. Daddy gave me purpose. I will serve Sliske, because Sliske and his followers saved me.

Original message details are unavailable.
As the numerous glory seekers and adventurers began to settle and raise their camps around the odd new portal in the southern desert, the Ahkranid Caliphate was forced to take action. Fearing too much influence of foreign heathens, and that it might incite the Kharid's own minority enclaves into violence, the Caliphate dispatched riders to gather a mixed force of Janissaries and the Caliphate's elite Sipahi cavalrymen.

The Caliphate was not opposed to the heroes of tomorrow finding their footing in this endeavour, and allowed their training and preparations to continue unhindered. In fact, the massed armies of the desert were even seen donating gear to help the brave adventurers, and helped patrol the much-needed supply routes.

Although, while the Janissaries seemed helpful to the adventurers, they would be maintaining a close guard against the domination and interference of any western religious or military group, without specific allowances made by the divine and illustrious Caliph. Without such permissions, any bleeding of the foreigner's conflict, which defied almighty Icthlarin's will, would be met with the sharp edge of Kharidian justice.
We come here with no peaceful intent, but ready for battle, determined to avenge our wrongs and set our country free.
