(An RP Free means that your character doesn't have to show up in person - and is strongly encouraged not to - but instead can ask questions and converse, in character, with Conclave officials and the like.)

Post here if wish to inquire freely about something to the Conclave, but do not have your own channel. All Gods in good standing, regardless of whether they take an active role, are free to speak here, and the administration will endeavor to answer all questions and meet all requests.

I wish to make an inquiry about the history of the one called Anik, God of Craft and about the Tower which shares his name.

A cost of two Conclave Stones has been incurred by Anik, God of Craft for this service.

From the Public Archival Library:

Anik, God of Craft was born in the Age of Odin, and was a close friend to Metatron the Highest, and his most secure confidant. Anik was considered to be an incredibly creative and intelligent being, and it is rumoured that he is the only being who has ever beaten the Highest in a game of chess. He was considered to be of the finest material by the Odinic government, and was groomed for advancement in their ranks, but ultimately fell to the unnatural allure of Crailek the Mad.

Metatron fought Crailek for a hundred days in order to free his most trusted companion, and ultimately succeeded. Crailek had a change of heart, forsaking the Mad Gods, and Anik followed. They were to be purified by the sacred words of Metatron, and join him in banishing the Old Ones from the Realm Supernatural.

Anik then disappeared, and stories are told of him building artificially intelligent temples and fighting Osiris-Ra and destroying hideous beasts that dwelled beneath the earth.. but this is at best speculation and at worst the corruption of Anik's story into a kind of mythologized folk-tale.

Anik returned, finally, with Metatron and Msonus - and the other Founding Fathers of the Age of Leagues - to build the Ten Towers of the Valley Divine. With this done, he promptly disappeared again..

I wish to make an inquiry about the History of the Conclave.

I would like to know about Kookhe-tree.

I would like to know about Osiris-Ra, primarily his history and origin.

I would like to know the identity of all current and past (still living) members of the Council.

I would like to know about the origin of the blade Cvelant.

I would like to know about Earthborn transportation, particularly motorcycles.

I would like to know the name and history of all ten type-1 species.

I would like to know the about Dragons.

I would like to know about the entity known as The Fierce God or Fierce Deity.

A cost of two Conclave Stones has been incurred by Anik, God of Craft for this service.

From the Public Archival Library:

Before the Conclave existed the League of Divine Right, which traced its line back to the Leagues of Ten which ruled the Valley Divine back in ancient times. The League of Divine Right was a pro-Divine fascistic government body which existed to rule and order every God in existence about (in a manner which is extremely unlike the manner the Conclave currently operates).

With the falling of the worlds - including Alkan and the Certitude - the League of Divine Right, with their speciest tendencies, fought a vicious battle against these beings. The Callisti and Sorcerers of Alkan were incredibly difficult to hunt, however, but when Mundane and Anvil fell the League of Divine Right had a hot war on their hands. The alien realities of the Systemarchs, combined with their powerful extrasensory abilities, made them an impossible enemy to beat; the humans had nuclear weapons. The war was settled with peace treaties signed, but terrorist attacks continued from those who still loathed the League.

For an hour Osiris-Ra was resurrected into this Realm, and he turned every member of the League of Divine Right - except, perhaps, the current Emperor of the Golden Hand - into sand.

Free thinkers, peaceful philosophers, and advocates for a strong, capitalistic democratic government, overjoyed at this, formed the Conclave, initiating the Shage, Dhelvanians, etc, as they came along into its ranks, and became the ruling government body you know today.

A cost of eighteen Conclave Stones has been incurred by Max, God of Fantasy and Adventure for this service.

From the Public Archival Library:

(1) Kukhe, as it is known, is hypothesized as another World Tree in the Eternal Forest, but only by lunatics and maniacs who have come from that realm. The insane 'Moffen Gals' and 'Kutie Boys', as they have named themselves, were given professional psychic care. Kukhe is also hypothesized to exist within Yggdrasil, but this is physically impossible and a  claim dismissed by most Divine Scholars.

(2) Osiris-Ra - two individual entities who fused their souls using forbidden black divine arts - is an ancient creature who has threatened the Realm Supernatural since before the Age of Odin. He was smote several times, by Odin the Hand of Justice, Metatron the Highest, and others, but always returned - some Divine Scholars hazard their opinion that he might have reached the hypothesized state of viral existence, and can never be killed as long as another God exists in the Realm Supernatural. Most recently, he turned the corrupt League of Divine Right into sand. The Cult of Osiris-Ra may still be active, but this is an unconfirmed rumour.

(3)

1. Lord Councilman Roid, Spider of Hammers, Highest Ambassador of the SYSTEMARCHS.
2. Lord Councilman Lharazed, Sorcerer of Alkan, Master of the Metaphysical Comet of the Fifteenth Sky, Highest Ambassador of the SORCERERS OF ALKAN.
3. Lord Councilman Agrippa, Earthborn, Highest Ambassador of the EARTHBORN HUMANS.
4. Lord Councilman Wyrn, God of Shadows, Highest Ambassador of the DIVINES.
5. Lord Councilman Vajk, Blade of the Blackest Hand, Highest Ambassador of the SHAGE.
6. Lord Councilman EQUILIBRIUM, Callisti, Highest Ambassador of the CALLISTI.
7. Lord Councilman Janethus, God of Mirrors, speaking for Honorary Councilman Svashbh, Highest Ambassador of the DHELVANIANS.
8. Lord Councilman Braenesoth, Sorcerer of Alkan, Master of the Blasted Moon and the Rock That Thinks Blackly, speaking for Honorary Councilman Groon'la, Highest Ambassador of the LEVIATU NAMAR.
9. Lord Councilman Lictros, God of Wilflife, Bound to and speaking for Honorary Councilman DANLOTH WHO IS THE EYE WATCHING WHILE YOU DANCE, Highest Ambassador of the VAKUD.
10. Lord Councilman Volum, of the Lineage of the First Star of Marnoth, Lord of the Twilight that Remains, Highest Ambassador to the RETURNED.

Councilmen leave with death.

(4) The Conclave have no information on the blade Cvelant.

(5) Earthborn use shift-pads, which move under their psychic thoughts, or - in rarer cases - heavily armoured war vehicles. Free energy bullet trains also exist in the Territories, as do light aircraft. Motorcycles aren't common, but some use the MX-BLADE psychic vehicle which allows compact speed-biking. Several antique motorcycles still exist. Recently an ancient Har-Lee Day-Vid-Sun went in auction for a hundred thousand Conclave Stones.

(OOC: Oh you bastard..)

1. The DIVINES are native to the REALM SUPERNATURAL and are also known as GODS. They are one of the most versatile species, with the ability to adapt to almost any situation and manifest a huge amount of different powers. Each Divine takes a special affinity for a 'DOMAIN', or metaphysical area, which defines their powers and personality. Gods typically have their own REALM and a PEOPLE - a servitor race which usually serves them.

2. The SYSTEMARCHS are native to the REALM OF ANVILS and are also known as SPIDERS. They are master engineers and craftsmen, spending decades on their ATTAINMENTS, artifacts of legendary power which can, literally, accomplish any feat. Systemarchs also have access to an unknown science, known as ANGLES, and powerful psychic abilities attuned to their teeth, known as PSYCHISMS. They have their own REALM, known as ANVILS, and DHAAL - a small servitor race which live within a gut beneath their mouth.

3. The SORCERERS OF ALKAN are native to the REALM MAGICAL but, finding that a difficult place to live, created the BROKEN CITY OF ALKAN to dwell within (until that world's collapse). They are a magical-focused people, and the greatest magicians, able to create magical enchantments which most couldn't dream of. This is their primary ability - they also gain a MASTERHOOD upon adulthood, giving them a thaumaturgical specialty, and typically a BOTTLE of personal spirits.

4. The CALLISTI are native to the REALM OF CERTITUDE and are also known as OATHSPHERES. They came here to spread order and the joy of mathematics, and think extremely logically at all times. They cannot even comprehend the ability to tell a lie, let alone bend the truth, and have several truth-saying abilities. They can impose UNBREAKABLE OATHS upon other species, making them a vital asset to the Conclave.

5. The SHAGE are from the REALM SAVAGE, beneath the REALM SUPERNATURAL, and are known as WILD BLADES. They keep an extremely strict diet, only eating a single meal a day of specific item - typically steel or a similar metal - and have incredibly sharp teeth. They are unbeatable in combat, and develop LOHTI, spiritual and physical paths of martial arts which give them perfect control over their bodies and mind. They also have a strong shamanistic tradition, and each has a WARDEN, a power guardian spirit.

6. The EARTHBORN are from the REALM MUNDANE, or the SOLAR SYSTEM SOL, or EARTH, and are known as HUMANS. They are almost as versatile as Gods, typically without the supernatural abilities, but can pick up magic and engineering easily. They are the median between Systemarchs and Gods, being extremely advanced in technology but not bound by excessive time restrains, and are definitely not immortal. Their grasp of technology, particularly 'wavetech, nanotech, and nuclear technology makes them an asset to the Conclave.

7. The DHELVANIANS exist outside time and, in some cases, space. They hail, via a minor technicality, from the REALM VOID. They manifest as black smears against reality, and often cause physical pain simply by existing near other deities. Not much is known about them, except for their abilities to SEE ANY MOMENT OF TIME IN ANY REALITY IMAGINABLE, as well as ACT AS A PERSONAL POWER SOURCE FIFTEEN TIMES GREATER THAN ANY SUN. Speaking to a Dhelvanian is a difficult prospect - it takes most scholars four decades of constant study to master their unlanguage, and only half a dozen exist in the world.

8. The LEVIATU NAMAR exist within the REALM EX ABYSSUS, closest to the GNARLED ABYSS, and often dwell within the trunk of Yggdrasil itself. They are blind, larger than most can fathom, and speak a broken tongue which can only be understood by a powerful telepath. They are all naturally psychic - to the point that they can speak directly to Yggdrasil - and they dwell within a Cyclopean city thousands of kilometers beneath the Valley of Ten Towers.

9. The VAKUD exist. That is enough. The rest is CLASSIFIED.

10. The RETURNED hail from the REALM SILVER, but believe themselves to be pilgrims from a far-distant tree, and are also known as HOLY STRANGERS. They are the greatest musicians, being naturally proficient in most forms of dance and drumming, and can also SHAPESHIFT FREELY. In addition, they have LINEAGES, a specific branch of their old tree which gives them certain mystical abilities and powers which are incredibly powerful in their own right. They have a great familial tradition, prizing their family above all else. They worship the stars, 'from whence they came', and have a secretive mystery religion based upon their eldritch, esoteric astrology.

(7) The Conclave have no information on Dragons.

(8) The Conclave have no information on the 'Fierce God'.

A cost of two Conclave Stones has been incurred by Reiuji, Goddess of Energy for this service.

From the Public Archival Library:

The Cult of Osiris-Ra are one of the factions that comprise the Five Cults of Niborkerese, worshiping the ancient and infamous deity Osiris-Ra as their patron and saviour. They are influenced by desert-culture, and hold reverence towards serpents and scorpions. Their ultimate aim is the resurrection and restoration of Osiris-Ra, a being whose immense power makes him difficult to call back to this plane.. and similarly difficult to permanently dissuade. Osiris-Ra was called for a single hour in the Age of the League of Divine Right, and he single-handedly destroyed the League in a single blow by turning every member within into sand. The Cult is known for their mastery of poisons, black magic, and tattoo-work, as well as their fanatical hatred fir the Shrine of Isuban. The Cult also has aims to find and 'raise' the mythical city of Tushmuthut, a city of which no Divine Scholar has found evidence to exist.

A cost of two Conclave Stones has been incurred by Desafon, God of Pirates and Dueling for this service.

From the Public Archival Library:

The Island Chains of Perigo are a tropical archipelago Realm owned and managed by the Divine Desafon, God of Pirates and Dueling. Before this, they were owned by the Mad God Laver of Stas before his death by the Lord Beldrum of the Apotheosis Circle.

A cost of ten Conclave Stones has been incurred by Anik, God of Craft for this service.

From the Public Archival Library:

(Anik is given knowledge about Osiris-Ra, the Type-One species and the members of the Council.)

From the Public Archival Library:

(3) Perhaps the most famous philosopher currently living within the Conclave is Lord Bae Jan. His work on the theoelectromagnetic theory, as well as being a valuable contribution to Divine Scholarship, also brought about his theory of the Returning Soul, and the Nature of Patterns. These three theories have shaken Conclave scholarship to their roots. He is currently journeying on a pilgrimage of sorts to the top of Yggdrasil, where - he hopes - his theories will be validated once and for all.

From the Higher Enforcement:

(4) The Bounty List top Five:

(1) Marcento, of Niborkerese (134,000 CS)
(2) Metatron, of the True Sons (125,000 CS)
(3) Lakshanar, Lord of the Shrine (111,000 CS)
(4) Herosiphastus (79,000 CS)
(5) Janthus the Bald (60,000 CS)

...

(am) Apologies. An amendment:

(4) Lakshanar, Lord of the Shrine (111,000 CS)
(5) Herosiphastus (79,000 CS)

A cost of four Conclave Stones has been incurred by Max, God of Fantasy and Adventure for this service.

From the Public Archival Library:

The Ten Worlds of Weight are the worlds that, as the name implies, have weight in Conclave politics. Despite perhaps falling into the Realm Supernatural (the first World of Weight), these worlds still have an objective existence on Yggdrasil, despite a ruined one; they are still counted as part of the Conclave's rule.

The Realm of Certitude (the second World of Weight) cannot be perceived by imperfect beings, and if anything but a Callisti enters they will be killed immediately.

The Realm of Anvils (the third World of Weight) is a dark and fiery place above, and a contained place below - created by thousands of separate Anvils, or Systemarch laboratories/smithies.

The Realm Mundane is unique in that it's  Realms are invisible, and can only be detected by magicians and sensitives, but contains a huge amount of varying geography never the less - it is the birthplace of the Earthborn.

The Realm Sorcerous (Realm Magical, Realm Witchery, Realm Invisible) cannot be accessed by any but a Tenth-initiated master Sorcerer of Alkan, and - except for the words of the Sorcerers and certain other objective forms of evidence - could be said not to exist at all. In its place as a World of Weight is the Broken City of Alkan, which cannot be accessed by any but a Seventh-initiated master Sorcerer (perhaps, it is rumoured, not of Alkan..)

The Realm Savage is a wild place, filled with rolling deserts and leaping jungles. It is a place where nature rules supreme, and is the birthplace of the Shage, master warriors. No cities exist in the Realm Savage.

The Realm Void exists, but it cannot be accessed. It is the birthplace of the Dhelvanians.

The Realm ex Abyssus is cold and wet and dark. It is the birthplace of the Leviatus Manu.

There is a ninth World of Weight, where the Vakud dwell.

The Tenth World of Weight is the Realm Silver, an artificial world created by the Holy Strangers using the same technology that was stolen from them by the Sorcerers of Alkan.

(2) No knowledge is available about the Gnarled Abyss or the Courtyard. The Broken Bridge is the gateway to the City of Alkan.

Requesting a list of rules and regulations on bounty hunting

Requesting the history of Isuban and his cult.

I would like to know about enchanting Earthborn weaponry.

A cost of four Conclave Stones has been incurred by Reiuji, Goddess of Energy for this service.

From the Higher Enforcement:

(a) a +2000 CS bounty is offered for those criminals given into the Conclave alive
(b) no laws regarding psionics, Void working, and other illicit activities may be broken in the pursuit of these criminals unless they are part of the TOP FIVE bounty list - but, even then, you may still be captured and punished
(c) A permanent death isn't necessary
(d) The head of the criminal, if dead, must be presented
(e) Other terms may apply

From the Public Archival Library:

Isuban, God of Death is the worshiped leader - currently deceased - of the Shrine of Isuban, the Cult of Osiris-Ra's greatest enemy. He has achieved the same state of semi-immortality (i.e., has easily gone through the allotted three lives but continues to come back) though the Shrine seem more determined to destroy the Cult of Osiris-Ra then bring back their dark master. Easily more subtle than their enemy, the Shrine excels in terrorist-work and subterfuge, often attempting to corrupt members of the Conclave to their own insidious ends. If a Shriner approaches you, don't hesitate to tell your resident Low Lord or speak up in your channel: anything less could be death.

A cost of two Conclave Stones has been incurred by Max, God of Fantasy and Adventurefor this service.

From the Market:

Depending on what the Earthborn weaponry is and what enchantments you need, spellcasting services are available at the Market at good prices. Some advanced Earthborn weaponry - mostly those who rely on nanomachinery - are notoriously difficult to enchant. Ensure that you are following both the TABLES OF ODIN regarding Enchanting and Earthborn Restrictions.

A cost of two Conclave Stones has been incurred by Reiuji, Goddess of Energy for this service.

From the Higher Enforcement:

The ban on 'Void Working' is in regards to manipulating any aspect of the Void within Conclave soil or the soil of one in good standing with the Conclave.

A cost of two Conclave Stones has been incurred by Max, God of Fantasy and Adventure for this service.

From the Higher Enforcement:

Most Earthborn weaponry can only be used by the Earthborn, but any Associate to the Conclave also has free access. 'Black Grade Weaponry', such as the Hammerer and other weapons, are illegal anywhere except in specific areas within the Territories and in official Earthborn endeavors. A simple SUIT or Conclave official will happily tell you whether or not an item is illegal, and why.

A cost of twenty four Conclave Stones has been incurred by Max, God of Fantasy and Adventure for this service.

From the Public Archival Libraries:

(1) Foun is told about the history of the Conclave (see above).
(2) Foun is told about the type one species (see above).
(3) Foun is told about the Worlds of Weight (see above).

(4) Foun is one of the Founding Fathers of the Age of Leagues, and the founder of both the theory of 'Grand Metaphysical Frameworks' - now, unfortunately, outdated and considered obsolete by many Divine Scholars, though debate still goes on - and the revolutionary philosophy of Magiscience. Both are considered crazy theories at best by most, as they often have no real practical results in the Realm Supernatural, and many consider to be a hack. Nevertheless, he was a staunch ally of Metatron the Highest, a great magician, and a passionate warrior against the Mad Gods.

(5) The Islands of Penta is the Realm that once belonged to Foun. It has disappeared, and Conclave officials cannot locate it. Many consider it a myth.

(5a) Another Realm called the Isles of Penta, owned by another God named Foun, has just been found. Awaiting further research.

(6) No information on the blade Terra Morte is found.

(7) One must become a Familiar Associate of the Conclave and, instead of requesting a mission, apply for a personal Research Grant. Once this is set up, the Research Company is fully legal, as long as testing and restrictions are observed. The company is forced to share all of it's findings with the Conclave, and in return gains a hefty grant of twenty to two hundred thousand Conclave Stones.

(8) Information on the laws can be found in the Conclave Herald, recentest edition.

(9) Alchemy can be studied, at a rather large cost, under the finest masters at the Tower of Babilu. Ten thousand for First Degrees.

(10) Engineering and Technology can be studied at the Earthborn Academy at fairly reasonable prices.

(11) Msonus designed the Tower, Anik built it, and Foun oversaw the operation. It housed the Founic League for several centuries, but is now closed by Conclave orders. It cannot be opened, and every attempt is a Class M attempt.

(12) No information is known on the elemental shards.

I would like to know of the natural resources on the Island Chains of Perigo that might be used for mercantile wealth and trade.

I would also like to know of the overall imports that the Island Chains of Perigo might require.
