Subj: Visions from Ivas

Last night after the attack on the temple of Ivas, Tolwynn a devotee of Ivas performed a commune which provided visions. I thought I would share them here. If you would like to know more in-game you can come to Hadya, Tolwynn or Traiva as I am sure they would be happy to discuss it with your character.

Tolwynn indicates his Ivas symbol with a smile.

Tolwynn raises his russet scroll and gestures.
Sparks begin to fly between the russet scroll and Tolwynn’s fingers.
With a sudden burst of enthusiasm, the sparks jump into Tolwynn’s hand and he seems to glow with power.

Tolwynn gestures at a polished jade statue.
Tolwynn falls into a deep trancelike state while muttering softly, the exact words you cannot discern. After a few silent moments, Tolwynn calmly opens his eyes.

Traiva folds her wings across her back.

You remove some emerald prayer beads from in your bone reliquary.

Fixing your eyes firmly on the ground, you bow respectfully.

Tolwynn asks, “Lady Ivas, please hear us and tell us, how might we yet serve You and Your glory?”

>>For a brief moment, a flash of light appears in the spherical ruby in the statue’s tentacle.

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn asks, “Your very temple was breached this evening by foul agents of Koar, how might we stop such a thing from happening anew?”

Traiva gazes at a polished jade statue.

You close your eyes for a moment.

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn says, “I exist but to serve you, my Lady, please guide us in this dark moment.”

You stand back up.

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn says, “Once before we came to see Your temple restored, this eve we stood in its defense.”

>>The stylized flame within the ruby sphere begins to glow brightly.

You take a few graceful steps backward.

You kneel down.

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn says, “We would not see it brought low again, it is unfitting of Your glory.”

(Traiva removes her armor as she rises to her feet. With graceful movement, she slides in a circle around Tolwynn and the statue, weaving as if deflecting blows.)

Traiva stands up.

>>The stylized flame within the ruby sphere begins to glow brightly, casting a sanguine hue along the ground.

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn says, “What is your bidding, my Lady?”

(Traiva faces the statue and arches her body, her hands lifting up toward the ruby. She then falls forward, her hands curving in a protective posture.)

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn says, “Take us as You will, allow your beloved to see Your will brought to fruition.”

>>The glowing specks of energy surrounding Traiva suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.

You quietly whisper to Tolwynn, “May I speak?”

Tolwynn nods to you.

(Traiva pulls her hands to the center of her breast as she spins to face away from the statue. Her leg stretches languidly to the side as she makes her way to Tolwynn, letting her hands fall to caress his shoulders and wisp marking on his neck.)

(Hadya crawls towards the statue and bows.)

You say, “Lady, I ask your permission, humbly, to invoke protections of my Master upon your sacred ground… to protect your priestesses and priests.”

>>For a brief moment, within the scarlet glow on the ground, a web of branches appear. They are draped with tendrils of wispy moss, that waver as if stirred by a gentle breeze.

Tolwynn raises his Ivas symbol skyward!

You say, “I would consider the alliance a favorable one, in these times.”

You say, “If you so desire it…”

You incline your head.

(Traiva falls to the floor and stretches her arms toward the branches, her emerald wings spreading across her back.)

Traiva lies down.

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn says, “You honor us, Lady, to take even fleeting notice in those so unworthy.”

You say, “I merely wish to keep your temple safe, most beautiful of dancers.”

>>The ruby continues to glow, and faint wisps of smoke seep out of the statue’s mostly closed eyes, slowly obscuring parts of the inner sanctum.

(Traiva rolls onto her back and raises her torso slowly, her chest and shoulders following her abdomen until she is sitting, one leg bent while the other stretches in front of her.)

Traiva sits up.

(Hadya fusses with her prayer beads keeping her head lowered.)

[Temple of Ivas, Inner Sanctum]
The room is bare except for thick crimson rugs that cover the stone floor apart from a wide ring around a central dais. Candles set in niches carved into the walls of this sunless chamber cast their flickering light on vivid fresco, making the painted figures seem to writhe. The massive jade statue of Ivas crouched upon the dais is a commanding presence despite her lowered gaze. You also see a slender blood vial, a six-pointed rich sanguine garnet, a dehydrated heart, a pale green jade wisp, a tentacle of dragon’s-tear ruby, a falcon feather, an iron bucket, a grizzled dusky curhound, the black Tolwynn disk, a belligerent luck spirit that is flying around, a handaxe and a carved seared stone arch.
Also here: Lady Traiva who is sitting, Lord Tolwynn who is kneeling
Obvious exits: none

>>Within the mix of red and grey, scarlet light and dark smoke, a backdrop of pale ochre clay soil can be seen, neatly blending with the golden grasses that grow tall nearby. Tiny insects move among the wavering stalks, watched silently by a sharp-eyed goshawk nearby, its feathers a dusky blue-grey.

(Traiva rolls onto her feet and follows the smoke, weaving among the wisps.)

Traiva stands up.

Tolwynn quietly says, “Where…”

You say, “I do not know…”

(Tolwynn stares into the roiling smoke, eyes intent on the unfolding image.)

(Traiva stalks toward the grasslands, her torso falling so her chest presses against her thighs.)

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn says, “Grant us clarity, good Lady, that Your will might be done.”

(Traiva’s torso twists as she turns, her left shoulder leading her rise to an upright position, her arms stretched up to the sky.)

>>Within the smoke and light, a drastic precipice rises up, overlooking a barren wasteland. The plateau’s geologic composition is varied, consisting of alternating layers of umber, red ochre and a pale vanilla. From this distance, a gnarled, dense patch of cactus is visible at the mountain ledge’s base. The mist swirls and dissipates, the ruby’s glow returning to normal.

You say, “The Sea of fire…”

You furrow your brow, probably adding a wrinkle or two in the process.

You say, “Perhaps..”

You ponder the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Tolwynn indicates his Ivas symbol with a smile.

You say, “It looks like it.”

You feel more refreshed.

Tolwynn says, “Blessed we were this evening, and perhaps there is chance to yet make right.”

(Traiva’s hands slowly fall and she weaves around Hadya before moving to kneel beside Tolwynn, her palms pressed against the floor.)

Traiva kneels down.

Speaking to a polished jade statue, Tolwynn says, “Thank you, my Lady, we exist but to serve.”
