I would like to be considered for the Overseer position.

I already record and publish event data weekly, which is one of the duties of the position.
Given that I have recently turned my efforts over to recruiting, i feel this can easily be turned to getting people into the sub clan system. Praise be to Saradomin one true god and defender of Lumbridge.

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

Zuriel's Return: The Forgotten Truth

Inanis had been set off on a different task, since his injury. He was sent to the newly unearthed dungeon known as The Heart, to quietly siphon from the portal guarding the entrance. On the other side of the world, he only knew his brothers would have been searching for their next bounty. Inanis siphoned until his pendant was full of energy, then digging into the sand and leaving.

He searched the ground until he found the trails of his brothers, speeding quickly along their path. He was eager to re-unite with his brothers, to reform the trio that made them whole. He quickly scurried through until he bashed the same rock that his brothers would have found. Pulling himself up the walls, he rose up to find nothing.

Confused, he walked towards the nearly tapped energy source. No trace of his brothers could be found. Perierat and Oblitus couldn't have simply disappeared. He noticed that the local guard was on edge, and decided that they must have cut through the city, that they must have found something.

He could feel it, less emptiness, more power. He went around the city, craving the taste of its energy. Clanking around the wall, he saw the tower of the Weak Minded Bird, and he coughed in form of laughter. It was then that he saw Perierat's mace go flying from the top of the tower. Oblitus smashing into a man he could not make out.

Inanis ran towards the mace, as the fighting went on overhead, stumbling and tripping he ran for it. He silently knew that his brother needed it to fight. As he approached it, he kneeled down to pick it up. Suddenly, the ground shook. As he looked up, a pulse of energy lit the skies as the Siphon became unstable.

Inanis sheathed the mace, and as he began to run towards the tower, he saw his brother Perierat get ejected from the top, and crash land into the ground, creating a small crater in the once perfect land. Inanis stood back, horrified, afraid to approach only to get hurt.

Perierat lay unconscious on the solid ground. Above, fighting could still be heard. The sound of Oblitus screaming resonated from the source, and Inanis lifted up his axe, ready to fight yet again. Yet, his eye spotted Perierat's shield, and he grew quickly distracted and ran towards it, wishing to return it to his stronger minded brother. As he picked it up, Oblitus jumped into the air, and fell towards the ground.

Inanis screamed for him, but Oblitus hit the ground and dug into it almost as if it were a pool of water. He watched in amazement as Oblitus disappeared in a mere moment, digging towards the center of Gielinor. Inanis could only hear the battle overhead at this point. It didn't sound like a fight that was being won.

When Oblitus rose towards land, Inanis ran for him. Oblitus didn't even notice, as he tried to pull crystal out of his battleworn body. As he pulled it out, divine energy charged into his body, coursing electric toxins through his veins. As the crystals fell, so did Oblitus, collapsing next to his brother, Perierat.

At this point, the Founder's Champion could be seen flying down to the earth. Inanis hid, knowing all too well that he could not take on Lali alone. More men followed, as the Champion picked up the two heavily unconscious bodies of his brothers, and forcefully slammed them down into the earth in front of the Crystal One.

The Crystal One, otherwise referred to as Kite, lifted a strange glass orb up, calling for help from "the citadel." In a mere manner of minutes, Sky People came down, and airlifted the brothers towards a giant island in the sky. The Crystal One, the Founder's Champion, and one of Death's Warriors remained to discuss what would become of them.

Inanis could not understand their words, but he knew it did not mean well. He watched as they disappeared into a strange portal, and he decided to follow, waiting until the night reached the land before he entered the Land Gate to the Island in the Sky.

Inanis fell through the other side of the portal, and before him, darkness fell onto the fortress he had discovered. Inanis knew that in this moment, it was not a time to show any weakness. He followed the path to the entryway, and carefully scaled the wall, catching the top of the wall before he noticed a lone guard below.

Taking out Perierat's Shield, He jumped into the air, fell onto the guard, bashing him with the shield towards the ground. Before the guard would have time to react, he would force the shield down onto the man's pelvis, splitting through him in seconds. Taking a second to breathe, he ran towards the doors that entered the keep, having been left slightly ajar.

As he ran up the stairwell, he met no interference, until he reached the top. Standing in front of the facility where he could feel his brothers were two night guards, both holding lanterns. Inanis weighed his options, and came to a quick conclusion. He pulled out the mace and ran towards the first guard.

He smashed the man down, giving him quite a blow, as the other guard began to respond. He pulled out his sword, and began to make rapid jabs at Inanis. Inanis slowly laughed as the blade failed to penetrate his armour, and he forcefully jabbed the mace into the guard's chest, crushing through him, watching as he fell.

He picked up a lantern, broke the glass, and silently burned the face of the last Guard on the ground as the man screamed in pain, before he smashed the lantern down on him entirely, and the man succumbed to death. Inanis grunted, and headed up the stairwell to where his brothers were being kept.

He smashed the iron gates that they were being held in. Using his battleaxe, he slowly ripped an opening into the chamber where the brothers had been studied. He sighed in relief that they were still among the living. Inanis approached them slowly, before he noticed they had not yet woken up. He could not pull them out of here, but he could do one thing.

Inanis noticed that Perierat was leaking out excess energy, and Oblitus was lacking. Oblitus had yet to recover from the wound that had been left by the crystals, and it would be a while before either of them would wake up if nothing was done. Inanis knew that energy could be transferred amongst the two.

Inanis made contact with both of the brothers, and shadow began to engulf him. He silently whispered, "Surge, et fratres mei. Sed initium et finis." As he spoke, he became a siphon. He began pulling the excess from Perierat, letting it flow through his body, and right into the wound Oblitus wore on his stomach.

His pendant crackled, his body shook, as energy entered and left his rotting body, that only shadow and divine magic were preserving. His body would fluxuate began stable and unstable, as Perierat returned to normal levels, and Oblitus returned to health. When both of them were at a balance, Inanis fell, resting on his knees, fatigued from the task he had just performed.

He could feel his brothers very slowly coming back into consciousness. Silently, he was overjoyed, as he used the leaked excess energy on the ground as a means to heal himself. Looking at his renewed self, he realized that his task was done, and he could not collect anymore. His Collector was full, and Vetitum Dominus had a third of the energy he would need.

Being of no further use, Inanis lifted himself up, jumping off of the tower, landing onto the wall he scaled, before jumping down onto the earth. Inanis looked back, knowing his brothers had one last bounty to collect for Vetitum Dominus. Inanis fell through the portal, before he began a long journey to the caves of Vetitum Dominus, travelling underground towards the master left behind.
