Sorry Yogi has been unavailable here lately. It will continue to be that way due to work and IRL stuff going on.

Linlett was super fun to watch or read over the bellows. Great and fun character!

Hakem Yogi will be less available for the next few days. I'll be present for the Synod on Sunday, and then after that I'm not certain.

Thanks for understanding.

I had no idea that Zina was married. I could of sworn that brush... I'll never understand the mind of a woman or man, I'll just boil it all down to 'animal' instincts. I believe Selwyn has lost interest, and the confounded cactus plum eludes me still. If I remember him correctly, he said it was about the company, and not about the food. But after such a long walk what else am I going to eat.

Thoughts like these bring levity to my already troubled mind.

We've had two successful holidays led by Serene Tasnim and Preparator Tariq, but I've had little contact with many of the Waradims on what they shall do for the First Four Wheels Rounding, tomorrow. Perhaps they have communicated with one another and determined the best course actions: who will be leading sermons, who will be leading journeys to the four corners, who will bring tea, who will attend to the refugees, who will attend to the Voiced and unvoiced faithful and faithless?

Who am I kidding, they've done nothing of the sort. Coryn is far to busy campaigning to put an end to the Synod and as for the others... who are they?

The Druids of Kula and Warad, they call themselves Speakers when in truth I still remember the legends of Rings. These monsters who make deals with devils, stealing babies, and laying with animals. I remember the tales they told us growing up, but perhaps it is not as the tales of old now. It is a memory wrestled from my mind, but still they are not -the- Speakers of Faith. Those who channel the divine for all and not just ourselves. They would serve better to create their own circles to advise the Speakers who spend more of their time within the walls of Ephia's Well. Perhaps it is different in Baz'eel. 

Vorazol's childish antics having me seething, if only I could drown that snake in the Edutu, and just be done with him. I'm not going to apologize for your piss poor performance to sway everyone to naming you the Hakem, especially after speaking out against the Sultan. How Rhuk Nor or any of the Janissary present at the Synod that day didn't arrest Vorazol shows how biasest their laws of governance truly are. If I had spoken like that as a Voiceless I would have been beaten, fined, or possibly thrown to the lions.

The government of Ephia's Well has become so laughable that trials are held at the pace of cheetah and the majority of evidence is circumstantial at best or down right hearsay.

Perhaps I have attracted the eye of Gellema and this is why I now the Hakem. Maybe, I should add my name to the primaries, and see if Gellema's humor still follows....

No, I have not grown enough personally and professionally for such a challenge.

Zina and Tasnim are now political rivals and neither have addressed their "relationships" with one another. Zina and Tasnim now use personal knowledge of one another to attack the other's political foundations, and this spiritual and personal relationships will suffer greatly for it.

I grow tired of writing but so much is in the works I feel I will lose sight if I do not write it down. No, I need to rest for now. I will toil once more when I awaken.     

Way to come out swinging with a first ever PC on EFU. Grenth was incredibly to get to know as a PC IG and watch OOC. There was so much going on in the background. I tip my hat to you, Sir. Well done for your first ever PC. I look forward to your next adventurer! 

Still no luck on finding cactus plums and I'm not entirely sure I will either. I'm sure it won't disappoint Selwyn to much, he's there for me and not just the plums... Right?

I am now Voiced, I have the Sisters and my donor to thank. Granted I am in considerable debt at the moment, and I'm very sure I'll require some extensions in paying off that debt considering my luck. I am amazed and blessed to achieve so much is such a small amount of time. I will continue to water the garden as is my duty and through my work the people of Ephia's Well will know less suffering.

Grown men should not have temper tantrums but I am continuously proven wrong as the Hakem. Oh, yes the title is official now, and nothing that I intended to happen occurred. Would it have caused drama and chaos, yes, more then likely it would destroy everything the people are seeking from the new Hakem. At the time, I didn't really care. It's difficult enough trying to go out and work for coin, but then you add on top of it the numerous responsibilities the Hakem has and its almost to much. Still if the Speakers of the Synod could at least get on board and actually preach to people I wouldn't have to bang my head against a wall.

Oh yes, I think Zina might be interested in me. I will have to ask Selwyn's thoughts on polygamy. My father had many wives, so it would only be natural I practice the same. Many animals in the wild practice this type of union and it works for them. This is a lot all at once, and I feel I'm being pulled in to many directions. Its strange when I am calm and relaxed I am the tender of the garden but when my blood begins to boil I become more animal like in thought. The Wyld is within me, and in the wastelands I never 'had' to control it.

I've received two incredible gifts from two people I expected nothing from and feel extremely humble by their gift giving. Also the broadsheet printed in the Well captured my likeness so well. I knew I was handsome, but I didn't think I was blessed by the Gods handsome... they had too have seen me with splendor potion in my system, you think?

Much has happened and I hardly know where to start in my writings.

I've drawn the attention of a cute nadiri named, Selwyn. We've scheduled ourselves a date and I am tasked to find some Cactus Plums, but I've not found one growing nearby as of yet. I wonder where Tullia would find them? I miss my mentors family so much. I wish to hear their laughter or just their voices one more time. Hopefully I can find the cactus plum as it grows on a specific breed of cacti. I have three more days.

I have secured my Voice, and all with out acquiring significant debt or political promises of support. I would call that a win. I've also secured the protection of the Banda Rossa. While it not the best contract I am both protected in life and death. It will no doubt stop my enemies but it may cause them hesitation.

Many a beast and snake dwell in the garden that is Ephia's Well. It is difficult know which will bite the hand or to tell the venomous from the non-venomous.

I continue to walk the path and grow. Only time will tell.

Day one, attended my first Synod and by way of a passionate speech and a few farce votes I was voted Hakem to the dismay of many. I'm not entirely certain what I have gotten into myself, but I feel the Well needs a religious revival. The faiths of the Wheel must be renewed among the populace least their souls be lost.

I must find a way to unite the faith and work together and not against each other.

The Wyld keep me as I walk through the garden infested with snakes.

First, thank you to all the dwarf players of Duunthall! Everyone was amazing!

Kraqq'tuth Stoutbreath was not a fully fleshed out concept, but started with the idea, "What would a newly awoken wizard do if he came to a new place and needed knowledge quickly?" Sandstone College enrollment was a priority since I wanted him to learn more about the setting and have a home base that could create goals for him. I also wanted to play a kind and polite character, someone everyone would get along with whether they were good or evil. Meeting with Duunthall was organic, and Grenth was a key figure to getting him to approach the rest of the Duunthall dwarves.

Duunthall and Kulkund dwarf history took a bit of learning and processing to decide if Kraqq was going to actually join or not. That all came to a boil when Duunthall was put on trial, and not to forget Durgin's desire to burn Duunthall to the ground.

One thing led to another and Kraqq took the oath to Duunthall.

One of the RP highlights was when the Sister were offering Sacrament (aka "The Drink") and Kraqq lined up first to ask about it, and feeling unsure looked to his kin for an answer and receiving a thumbs up from Drugg. OOC, I knew it was something we weren't supposed to do, but I was working with a low wisdom due to leaving two Foolish aspect rings on while brewing. While Grenth was busy discussing "stuff" one by one we all drank the Drink. I wish I had a screen shot of that and the aftermath of informing Grenth, freaking hilarious!

Onward to some screen shots, which are few -

Always a good time exploring with Maqqari.

Big thank you to the DM Team for Mojem Tower seasonal event! The place was a nightmare of a challenge, but so worth it! Also the loot from the tower was so very tasty!

Thank you to my fellow players, sorry if I can't remember all your names:

Iananna, picking on the character's name was an absolute delight.
Cort, thanks for being willing to be turned into a dwarf.
Durgin, thank you for the induction but sorry I didn't live longer.
Grenth, great job on drawing people into the faction.
Ulf, your an amazing dwarf and a total teddy bear.
Hal, I'm super happy you survived.
Maqqari, thanks for being an explorer and bringing Kraqq along.
Fireun, thanks for giving Kraqq a new job that he only got to do once.
Selwyn, you're incredible.
All the Sisters, Banda, and Balladeers, everyone is amazing and I look forward to getting into hijinks in the future with everyone.

If I forgot to name you, sorry, and you are amazing too! Now on to the next character!

A wonderful and well played politician and dwarf! Well done!

Never suspected Celybuin as a Brooker, but definitely thought he was super creepy and weird. Great character RwG, see you on the flip side when you return!

Cheers!

Been poking at the tender parts of the faithful. I don't understand this need for faith in the Wheel. Small minds and small people need faith to justify their actions and thoughts rather then take responsibility for themselves. Each one of these lunatics begging and pleading to their gods as they are cut down, for what, for absolutely nothing. Their Gods didn't suddenly come down to intervene but instead let their follower get cut down for being weak and stupid.

Anyways, seems things are settled and the Banda Rossa are required to report to the front to kill some shit. I'm actually happy, been waiting for the order to come down, and I can't wait to march out from this shithole.

It won't surprise me when the Janissary 'betray' us on the battlefield because you know their "God" demanded retribution.

Shit, fucking hand cramp. Screw the writing shit for now. I need to sharpen my sword.

Sixteen days roaming the desert and further trying to find a breed of jackals, hyenas, or wild dogs to turn into war hounds. I had to put down every one of them I came across. Not a one of them had a mind for training. Jok isn't trainable either, but now he's finally stopped trying to eat me when I sleep. If not for my sword, I'm sure he would have killed me by now.

The Well is still a shit hole but now its an even worse shit hole.

Two good roses are dead. A war hero and a master merchant. Damn shame to see them both gone but we all got to die sometime.

Janissary poked the hornet's nest this time. The only good way to get rid of hornets is to burn the whole nest down, I say fuck it burn it down.

If I leave now, I can likely avoid having to write again.

Before I forget, I hate contracts.

An incredible PC and a terror to those she hated. I really enjoyed my interactions with Emilia. Cheers!

I really enjoyed roaming about with Thorne with Leva. He was a great merchant and greater friend.

Cheers!
