Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

"Well, there is little point in postponing the delivery," Lunise said. She was very used to the jarring freedom of movement the portals brought after using them for so long. "My only addition is to perhaps arrive somewhere outside of his study so he does not discover your abilities, but now that I think on it, he will probably surmise you have a special means of transport if we tell him where the letter is from. Although, we may still spare scaring him with a sudden portal in his study while he is reading alone."

Lunise turned to Nytala again, smiling. "Perhaps you might scry on his reaction yourself, if you wish."

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Lunise's face was an emotional mess by the time she let go. She looked into Nytala's eyes as if she wanted to plead their separation not come to pass.

Looking down at the sealed letter, Lunise took it with both hands and let out a single, sad laugh. "I think he will remember your face, and then -- contrary to his past behaviour -- he will cry on my shoulder." She sniffed and dabbed at her eyes with the back of her hand. "If it means even half as much to him as visiting you did to me, I guarantee it."

Regarding Yullian

Full disclosure, the bulk of discussion around Yullian was done behind the scenes, so there are ironed out details that we're on the same page on.

The Mischief portfolio is defined well enough and has plenty of potential for the kinds of things Yullian would apparently be drawn to do. That's all fine by me. A trickster god is certainly welcome.

The persona is a bit leaner than I usually approve of, but after further discussions on motive and narrative direction, it's a good enough foundation to build from when you jump into the IC. Just heed my previous warning to you about the dangers of writer's block with such an open-ended character. After the short-term kicks are gotten, it can quickly become difficult to keep things fresh. Planning a couple of steps ahead should make this fine, though.

I know you mentioned to us that the form may be a controversial, what with the free disguises and such, but given the portfolio, I'm willing to give it a pass this time. It's thematic, well bounded, and suitable without putting a tax on you starting off your stories.

It's clear that you've got your parentage sorted out from your activity with Slime, so I think you're good to go.

The GMs grant Yullian acceptance.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Upon the first words out of Nytala's mouth, Lunise's hand tightened around Meesei's. Her emotions were no better prepared than her mother's. It was by sheer practice that Lunise was able to keep herself from shedding tears first.

"I do not think anything could have meant more to me than seeing you again, mother," Lunise said, astonishingly composed. "I was utterly terrified at the prospect. I did not know how it would play out. But I was..." The red around her eyes became suddenly apparent as the corners of her lips turned down. "...pleasantly corrected."

Lunise let her hand slip free and stepped forward, wrapping her arms around Nytala and holding on so tightly she shook.

"I do not want you lamenting your absence on Tamriel any longer, understand?" Lunise's voice pitched upward emotionally. "I want you to know I am proud to call you my mother!"

Got it all summarised. No problem

"The term is 'fiancé'," Lunise said, looking sideways at Meesei. "And I would exercise caution around the title of strongest mage in a place like this, not least of which because your fiancé may prove you wrong."

---

The duel later in the day resulted in Meesei being the clear better of Lunise in almost every power of magic, save for a few of Lunise's own specialties. Lunise's pride was wounded -- to deny it would be a lie -- though she quickly rebounded, claiming that she would not let on all of her best secrets to Meesei yet.

With the most pressing business out of the way, Meesei and Lunise had a much easier time enjoying the rest of their unexpected holiday. The daytime was spent enjoying the company of each other and the Psijic monks curious enough to interact with them, while the nights were spent in each others' arms, taking advantage of every moment of intimacy, both passionate and peaceful.

With such a prolonged time together, Lunise and Meesei were finally able to experience the little details of one another's behaviours and routines. Some behaviours even emerged that were entirely new. Lunise, for instance, turned out to be much more proactive about her physical health than Meesei had experienced. Every morning, without fail, she would perform exercises to keep her body strong and flexible by holding poses on a mat on the floor. In addition, she had a almost childishly giggly personality after a few wines in the nighttime.

In turn, Lunise noted Meesei's own quirks. They were mostly born of Meesei's upbringing in a tribal community, though there were a few details that Meesei had not thought to notice until Lunise pointed them out.

If there was any grounding to their stay, apart from its limited nature, it was the growing relationship between Lunise and her estranged mother Nytala. The truth was, Nytala was a naturally more optimistic and easy going person than Lunise. There were times where their personalities caused friction between them. But what they did both share was patience and longing, and those both resulted in a newly built respect.

Lunise woke up on the final day knowing what she would say to Nytala. She was surprising energetic that morning.

Unfortunately, no amount of energy could nullify the sadness suspended in the time of their farewell. Lunise walked with Meesei hand-in-hand, wearing the same dependable dress she arrived in, now clean and fresh. With the last of their borrowed belongings handed in, they now walked to an agreed meeting place to rendezvous with Nytala in preparation to leave.

Lunise wore a relaxed smile, but did not immediately have anything to say.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Lunise put a hand on Meesei's arm. "There are many things we still do not know about this. However, at the very least, there is little harm to be risked in simply asking her. If she demands something unreasonable -- if -- then there will be another opportunity to weigh the costs." She glanced at Zyausak. "And we have better hope with Zyausak's account. Perhaps recounting our discussion here to her will take Hal-Neesa back to the times where she was...less bloodstained, as it were. At the very least, we have both had plenty of practice seeing past the monstrosity of the people we get to know."

_{Turn 6}

Age of Lords

Epoch 3.6
Timespan: 55 to 110 years since the Soul Heist

Age of Lords FP Catalogue

It is now the third age, where each got gets 8 Free Points per turn.

This is the Age of Lords. The chaos of the wilds is still a terror to the mortal folk of Galbar, but as they grew, it has also become a challenge. The lands are ripe for the birth of civilizations, great and small. The start of a mighty empire may require only the smallest boon from a god or two. The Architect awaits the blossoming of the worshipping peoples with anticipation.

This Age, FP can be used for the following acts:

• Create an Artefact (Limit 2 each, must be left in the hands of mortals)
• Create a monument (Limit 1 each, must be on Galbar)
• Form a holy order
• Teach an idea or technology
• Bestow a one-time gift to mortals beyond their ability to craft
• Bless or Curse (Groups of mortals only)
• New act: 1 FP - Create an impressive and/or fantastical landmark or piece of architecture (Limited to the size of a large citadel or a small town, give or take. Basically a variant of the one-time gift above)

TAKE NOTE: Azura and Asceal's broadcast via the Alma to present all mortals with the choice of their fate after death has constituted a world-wide, high-impact event! This is a landmark in the passage of time from which years shall be measured, until such time as a more appropriate event takes place.

PLEASE MAKE USE OF THE MP SPREADSHEET!

Source Spreadsheet, updateable for your record keeping convenience:

Thank you to everyone who kept their rows up to date on this page. It has made the process much easier for me! As a reminder, please update the 'link to last MP update' with your own posts to make the turn changing process quicker and easier :)

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Lunise took a second to process the last part.

"...A rather more altruistic goal than I was expecting to hear." Lunise cast her eyes down. "That would explain her particular animosity towards the Thalmor, then." She sighed and returned to Zyausak. "At any rate, I hope you understand our hesitation engaging with her. If I cannot deny, it is her expertise and experience. I understand it may have been some time since the two of you interacted, but would you have any recommendations on how to approach her about this issue? Based on your account, she may be sympathetic to Meesei's soul being in danger, though guessing what her solutions may be is not without its own risks."

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

A subtle jolt of surprise moved in Lunise, taken off guard by Zyausak's initial reaction. She kept quiet and passive thereon until Meesei gave her a look.

She spoke carefully in response. "It is safe to say our experiences with Hal-Neesa have been different. However, I have no reason to believe you would lie, so I will speak with more respect." One detail kept one of Lunise's eyes squinted as she angled her head slightly away from Zyausak. "You say she was accepted into the Order, yes? She seems rather more involved than usual for a Psijic monk. I take it her membership was discontinued?"
