I started in open beta too.

Hard to imagine Ialie as a Nihilist. Though a fair approximation springs to mind...

Aesyra, your nostalgic post made me sad. Ironic that so many of the Demigods, you, me, Kaervas, and Melanchthon, all started in the same guild in open beta. I had NO idea Murph started in the Nihils either, I dont remember that.

Die.

I OOCly started in the Nihilists during open beta...no demigod now, though...

I actually remember arguing with Aesyra once, because I asked over CT if anyone was on Spectre Isle that I could teleport to and nobody answered. I paid 125 gold, got all the way there only to find out Aesyra had already cleared it and was standing there. I argued with her about how she should have spoken up, and she said something about how I was lazy and should have walked over the water instead of paying 125 gold.

Ah, the beautiful memories.

Kalas Derian, Taisi en-Kiyicel says, "Is there anyone who would volunteer to
demonstrate a follow-up maneuver? I won't hurt you."
Derian's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a smile.

Alianna firmly holds Derian in place with an iron-strong grip.

Kalas Derian, Taisi en-Kiyicel says, "It would require you not writhing, though,
for the purpose of demonstration."

Alianna expertly tosses Derian, sending him careening through the air.
Derian is tossed violently out to the north like a rag-doll.
Derian arrives from the north.

Kalas Alianna, Noyan en-Lam looks thoughtful and says, "That's a follow-up."

Derian rolls on the floor, laughing.
Kalas Derian, Taisi en-Kiyicel says, "That covers it."
Derian nods his head sagely.

weave glamour of halamir on me

One of your reflections has been destroyed! You have 0 left.
You weave the light around you in intricately complex patterns, conjuring a glamour of Halamir
around yourself.

You have recovered equilibrium.

The Moonhart Mother Tree. (Southern Serenwilde Forest.)
A smattering of clouds fills the sky, lacing it with spiderwebs of grey. Glowing glyphs hang in the
air here. Singing a hauntingly beautiful melody, Miakoda, Maiden of the Moonhart, stands here.
Towering high above is the Moonhart Mother Tree, stretching her enormous branches heavenwards. There
are 4 small screech owls here. There are 9 fierce timberwolves here. There are 2 tame wakabis here.
There are 8 striped badgers here. There are 8 red foxes here. Hovering over a raised dais are two
silver arrows, their long shafts crossed with the points aimed skywards. A mottled blue wyvern
gracefully stands here, arching its serpentine neck and flapping its massive leathery wings. There
are 2 white and brown speckled ponies here. Reaching up as high as the eye can see looms the awesome
presence of a living totem. A mature birch tree stands proudly here. An obsidian eye sigil is here.
A bay brown mule wanders here, nosing at the ground. A humble donkey stands here, twitching its long
ears. Mushrooms are growing here in a perfect circle. A very small milestone lies here, bearing the
name 'Arrowyn'. There are 7 frost hags here. Leading deep into the forest, a tangled path twists
every which way here. A massive black warthog stands here, snorting and bearing its tusks. Almost as
wide as he is tall, Ironbeard beams broadly at passersby. Standing in an elegant fashion with silver
wings folded around her, Mysteria, the silver harpy rests here. Hyperion, Adherent of the Crone is
here, shrouded. He wields a shield of silvered vines in his left hand and an athame dagger in his
right. Aanark Taisi is here. He wields a crescent staghorn shofa in each hand. Halamir Talnara is
here. He wields a solid iron tahto staff in his left hand. Nightingale Aia Luminare-y'Kada is here.
Hissatsu Sojiro is here, shrouded. He wields a moulded war hammer in each hand. Tchaichlao y'Kada,
Lunarian Warrior is here, shrouded. She wields an athame dagger in her left hand. Rika Talnara,
Little Ri-ri is here, shrouded. She wields a finely crafted rapier in each hand. Eilia Helfarch
Sarrasri Talnara, Priestess of the Moon is here, shrouded. She wields an athame dagger in her left
hand and a glowing powerstone in her right.
You see exits leading north, south, and through a path twisting every which way.

You say, "Hit me."

Sojiro leaps into the air and launches a flying kick at Halamir.
Sojiro connects.

Halamir ceases to whirl his staff in a defensive arc.
Halamir peers at Sojiro unscrupulously.

You say to Tchaichlao, "Hit me!"

Tchaichlao y'Kada, Lunarian Warrior says, "With?"

You say, "Anything that hurts."

Sojiro thrusts his palm towards Halamir and a burst of silver light shoots out from it and burns
into Halamir, who cries out in pain.

Tchaichlao grabs some glowing glyphs and throws them at Halamir.

You cackle hellishly.

Halamir Talnara says, "You do know someone is impersonating me right?"

Tchaichlao y'Kada, Lunarian Warrior says, "Oh."

You say, "Lies."

Sojiro doubles over in laughter, wiping the tears from his eyes.

Halamir rolls his eyes.

Tchaichlao y'Kada, Lunarian Warrior says, "Haha."

You say, "I'm a masochist."

Halamir Talnara says, "Women."

Tchaichlao pats you in a friendly manner.

Hissatsu Sojiro says, "Oh man."

Hissatsu Sojiro says, "Poor Hal."

A warrior's room.
A painting of a black direwolf is proudly exhibited on a nearby
wall. Buzzing with latent power, a wild node lies upon the ground, waiting to be
planted.
You see a single exit leading north.

This wild node takes the form of a strangely twisted crystalline pillar, glowing
and buzzing with latent power. Astral energies flow around the node, wreathing
it in ghostly sparkles as it channels raw power from the plane itself.
It weighs about 125 pounds.
