11.1.18 ELOSTIAN, THE ENIGMA

Between the burning brightness of day and the cloaking shadow of night
lies a short period of temperate twilight, where day and night mingle
together into one and contrasts fade into obscurity. So too it is with
the Enigma, born from the unification of two Elder gods who were the
opposite sides of the same coin: Elcyrion, the Erudite and Lacostian,
the Mysterial Lord. It remains a complete mystery how this fusion of two
Elders was accomplished; all other attempts have ended in disaster. This
unique combination of two ancient star gods from the third and fifth
circles has produced an Elder with such experience and insight that He
thinks in ways alien to most other Gods. Combined with the mystery of
His birth, this has led to Him being referred to as the Enigma.

Elostian teaches that knowledge, with the wisdom and aptitude to apply
it appropriately, is the only worthy goal in life. Every experience
teaches something, and all experiences should be questioned,
investigated and considered in order for the mind to progress. In this
way, it is possible to achieve an ever superior degree of enlightenment,
and no follower of Elostian's can be excused from the practice of these
ideas. Personal improvement is the primary goal; however, the
progression of mortalkind as a whole depends on the discovery of new
information and the development of new ideas and theories. These should
be shared where possible in order to allow others to begin the path of
self-improvement, and to make their own contributions to shardkind's
store of knowledge.

Through the unique combination of a Thinker and a Meditator, Elostian
has gained new insights and as such promotes others to consider every
event from all possible angles - not to narrow one's mind to a single
interpretation. Rationality and temperance are also required; extremism
clouds the mind, and prevents progression. Those unwilling to observe
these rules will find the Lord Elostian swiftly out of patience.

His symbol is a glass seer's candle with a flame of mysterious, deep
blue hue.

Yay, a new Divine. I assume that by this point the ass kissing has ceased and people can actually talk to him without shouting over the people trying to gain favour?

Why am I the one laughing like an evil maniac?!

So, where's he heading? My guess is Glomdoring, due to their lacking of elder gods, and his apparent nuetrality, though I haven't talked to him IG at all.

Judging from his help file, he doesn't really look like a Glomdoring god.

Agreed, though the admins do seem to want Glomdoring to change, from what I hear. I guess time will tell! Until then, what your guess?

He looks Celestian to me.

He sounds as generic and bland as I expected. He doesn't look like a god that matches any org very well.

Er.. he's anti-fanaticism and pro-knowledge sharing.. how is that Celestian?

Seems more like he wouldn't fit with aaany org.

This is true, though Glomdoring is notorious for secret-keeping, hence my initial reaction. Celest strikes me as probably the least fanatical of the orgs, although, that isn't saying a whole lot!

People who insult people to gain leverage around Divine are meannnnnn.

That's not Evil Maniacal laughter--you're in hysterics.

Donno, worked for me when Hajamin came back.

Dude... That wasn't really Hajamin.

With all these inactive Divine being wiped off, I fear for what might happen to Isune

That would just be tacky to wipe her out twice. They haven't touched Auseklis anyways.

Or Raezon. Or Shikari.

...list of active divines:

Estarra
Sior?
Elostian (I guess...)
Roark?
Terentia
Fain
Charune
...?

sorta active-ish (I think)
Lyreth
Morgfyre

inactive/dead
Isune
Viravain
Raezon
Lacostian
Elcyrion (I thought he was a forest god for the longest time )
Shikari
Lisaera
Auseklis

...*mutter* and I still didn't get updated on the event...

Elcyrion was in the Serenwilde.

But not a forest god per se.
