It's surprising to me how large the niche is on EfU for a good Talonite to make himself big in the city. When you look at the city, it should be obvious how heavily the balance is tilted toward Talona. There are several quests involving poisons and diseases. There's a completely customized system that allows for the poisoning of foods and drinks. 60 something+ different types of poisons from ability drains to -death- can affect characters. There's an Herbalism system on the way (if it's not already in for that matter) that'll probably take this even further. There are tons of opportunities for things to be expanded upon by an aspiring player, or group of players, for that matter, that can be capitalized on.

So why aren't there more Talonites? :o

In any case, that's the primary purpose here. I'm currently playing a Cleric of Talona, who's fairly desperate at this point to find a few good followers he can work with, to further the Lady's interests in Sanctuary, and so that he doesn't have to keep dealing with threats and hostilities from those silly unfaithfuls.

Any Talonite is pretty much promised a lot of Inter-character conflict on all sides of the alignment spectrum.

So the rewards should be obvious. Any Talonite is nearly guaranteed a lot of excellent conflict and roleplay potential, and if we can get a decent group together, it should be a huge amount of fun, especially once goals and such can start being accomplished.

I've already got a few ideas in mind myself, and am fairly intent on playing the leader role of the Faction, but I'll likely step down if someone else really wants to take over, and can justify it ICly. I've got some goals in mind for the group that could do with being pursued. So hit me up with a PM if you're interested in joining in, and I'll tell you what I've got in mind so far. I'm pretty receptive to new ideas for goals at the moment as well, in case you or your character might want to add some things in to it.

I'm playing Talontar (Talonite priest) Gibbon Meldren in game. There's currently really only one other Talonite in game who Gibbon knows/gets along with, so that puts party dynamics ultimately as a cleric/monk combination. Pretty much any class is open and justifiable as a Talonite, but especially useful would be a good fighter to tank.

So yeah, hit me up with a PM if you're interested in making a new character, or especially if you've already got a Talonite and would like to meet up.

Cheers, and forgive any rambling in this post, I made it up on the spot, and I'm really really tired anyway.

you made somethin that long yet your tired. DO MY HOMEWORK.

If you want to make a really badass evil character, make a Talonite. Then read Richard Preston's The Hot Zone. You will realize that dying from disease is just about the worst way to go, especially when we're talking deadly hot agents (highly-contageous super viruses). If I didn't have a character, you and me would be making sweet, vile death in the city of Sanctuary Kotenku. :lol:

Talona is not the only disease and/or poison deity around, and they may even work together for a common 'dark' cause. Though they're likely rivals (but not in a conflict way just a : "oh look I poisoned the water sources before you did nyah nyah!! ," sort of way :D)

I can always image that meeting "Gentle, its time we talked and worked for a greater evil, but first, help yourself to some black refreshments with a skull on the bottle"

hey my justin dealt a serious insult to gibbon *grins* well i am planning on a tempus cleric soon PREpare for battle

Thomas_Not_very_wise hey my justin dealt a serious insult to gibbon *grins* well i am planning on a tempus cleric soon PREpare for battle

Thomas vs Kotenku! The gauntlet hath been tossed!1!

This will get worse before it gets better....

Fairly warned be ye says I!

I think this post is funny cause my talonite has never ever seen Kotenku. And doesnt read the notices. :roll: Of course, you should keep in mind that the game rolls in shifts. A faction has power and active players... then it doesnt, sometimes it takes some time for the interest to roll back the other way again. I figured you already know this... but meh, Figured I'd toss it out there. Just wait around and stay active, people will sway back sooner or later.
