| Post subject: | [IC]Ban the Banites & Remove the Speaker! |
*A black cloaked figure with a velvet face mask can be seen leaving one and only one message attached to the tower in Tarkuul. He is of elven figure, but nothing else about his physical nature is visible.* Recently it has come to my attention that the Banites have been using this sanctuary of knowledge as a prison. These actions bring far to much attention to the isle, and puts its residents, as well as the island itself, in great danger. Are we to expect the battle lines drawn here, and many such actions, as the retaliatory attack that took place to recover this prisoner, as common of the future? Is this isle no longer a sanctuary for all to gain knowledge in peace? I find the actions of the speaker, whom is clearly protecting and harboring the Banites actions, as contradictory towards the stance that the Isle of Tarkuul has always taken. A place of refuge and peace for those seeking to gain knowledge and better themselves in the ways of the Arcane. I would like official notice that Tarkuul is seeking war with other groups on the isle of Amia & that this is now the living islands policy and stance, or I would ask that the Banites be officially banned from the isle as affirmation that Tarkuul's reputation and stance as a sanctuary for knowledge & the arcane is still intact. This sort of behavior draws attention to us all and causes great distraction from each individuals studies. It is not acceptable. -MX *An amendment is added, if this message was not torn down* TormakSaber wrote: The First Law (The Overruling Law): No being, living or otherwise, will ever impede the progress of power and knowledge of another being, living or otherwise. Keep your knowledge to yourself if you must, but do not harm another's journey for knowledge. This is the Overruling Law, and is generally the Law to fall back on if there are ever any conflicts. If conflict arise, the First Law takes precedence. "The conflict they bring impedes everyone elses progress of power and knowledge." *Added as the notices are replaced by the same masked figure, pasting them over the old ones* "And now they are leaving peoples corpses outside the known portal to Tarkuul. Well done, if this doesn't bring an eventual attack I'll be very surprised. Again I quote the first law and the supposed speakers lack of respect for it. I urge all to take note of it, and be aware that its clear Tarkuul is now a place where it does not apply. I highly suggest you only take what you need and leave, no sanctuary for peaceful acquisition of knowledge is to be found here any longer. Amended as of 2/2/2011: "It is time to demand more drastic measures. Its clear the Banites will not be removed by the Speaker, mostly because the Speaker himself is breaking the laws of Tarkuul to cover the asses of his Banite friends. This is NOT the conduct of a speaker of Tarkuul. Valkin refuses to uphold the laws of the city, laws put down by the living city itself to protect the isle and its inhabitants. Instead he protects the Banite scum as they wontonly break the cities laws! I say its time for a change! It's clear the current speaker is incapable of acting unbiasedly and living up to the duties demanded of the as the mortal voice of Tarkuul. He sides with those who have no respect for this isle, no respect for its laws, and no respect for the authority of those who uphold them. I have no confidence in the Speaker, do you have confidence that he will protect you when his Banite comrades bring a navy of paladins down on our heads? I do not. Do you?" -MX" |

Dear Mr.(or Mis.) MX, please leave your full name so I know your not just another person in a random disguise stirring up trouble. Proof of residency would be appreciated as well, in addition, perhaps we should speak sometime in person. Thanks, -Mortin Agra'tier |

"Only if you have the rank to make it worth leaving such. Your signature suggests otherwise. I would also like to know whom judges proof of residency, as for years it has always been that Tarkuul accepts all whom abide by its laws. Residency has never been something of consideration, just a thirst for knowledge. -MX" |

Oook we can play it that way then. 300,000 to the first one to unmask MX, and take him before Valkin for interrogation. All laws of the city shall be upheld at all times however. -s/he 's not to be harmed, just taken before Valkin for questioning. If you come to Tarkuul in peace for knowledge and power and are not a resident, then do it quietly, your posting tells me otherwise. Seems you have a political agenda, and it seems you want to hold back the knowledge of Tarkuul from a specific group of people just because you don't like them. Well it's not acceptable, your letters posted without so much as a decent signature tell me your just trying to cause trouble and disrupt the peace. I don't like rats in my halls. -Mortin p.s. the above shall remain in effect until Valkin or the Voice declares otherwise, or until 'MX' reveals themselves willingly. *posted up underneath the other letter* TormakSaber wrote: The First Law (The Overruling Law): No being, living or otherwise, will ever impede the progress of power and knowledge of another being, living or otherwise. Keep your knowledge to yourself if you must, but do not harm another's journey for knowledge. This is the Overruling Law, and is generally the Law to fall back on if there are ever any conflicts. If conflict arise, the First Law takes precedence. ...so tell me why it is you wish to harm the journeys of an entire group of people again? ..by baring them from the city? -We allow even our enemies into the city, why should Banites be deprived of Tarkuul's knowledge? |

The Captain of the Protectorate moves through the castle and surrounding Tarkuul grounds. Every poster torn down savagely and tossed to a near by kobold. "Moronic fool, speaking of things to which he has no idea..." Growling further under his breath, draconic insults. Moving to his office he notes something briefly, one poster still intact on his desk, staring blankly at the signature left. "Trying to cause problems are we...if you knew anything of the inner workings of this great city, you'd know all of what you claim is a lie.." He speaks to the page shaking his head. |

As has occurred before, patience, dear MX, is a virtue. If he is fit, he will prove himself. The moment they attack, all will become clear. Remember, the lich once thought his rule inviolate as well. Watch, and wait. The Voice works as the Voice wills. ~K. Amne |

A certain dark robed wizard reads over some reports, before returning to his duites in the living city, an other such task that require his attention outside the city, as he dose so he smirks to himself. "if they truly understood what had been achieved hear, an of what was actually occurring, well they would not be wasting there time now would they" |

*Another small message is put up* "I'll take the removal of my posters as a breach of the 1st law as well. Thanks for proving the point, as usual. Your removal of my poster denies me access to the knowledge of peoples reactions to these proposals, as well as the actions to take place. Though I will thank you for the bit of knowledge that shows my accusations as correct, since why else would you remove the posters instead of just let them stay? So that's two breaches of the 1st law. Keep them coming. -MX" |

*A simple letter is placed atop one of the fliers* I assure you that at least one of your messages have been put on file within the library, so that any who wish to read them may do so. The government and the city no doubt have much to consider and any changes will take time to inact. Patience. |

The following posters are again removed by a figure clad in full plate the colour of bleached bone. A note is attached where the person in questions was. "The removal of these posters is not breaking law, as most of the inhabitants consider them offensive and slanderous. As you've not stated your seeking knowledge and in the eyes of many you appear nothing more than a nameless person causing problems. It's fairly obvious your methods of "seeking" are nothing more than ridicules and instead appear like a pathetic prank. This City is unlike Cordor and the other surrounding towns. We do not take kindly to such outward disrespect. I in turn suggest you take more efforts to speak with whom you so obviously wish to destroy and converse with them instead of resorting to nasty fliers that are doing little but irritating both parties. If you wish clarification on particular subjects I am in my office most of the day, perhaps I can shed light to your situation and cease the unneeded public displays of aggression." Captain Jason Hoyt. Quote: "I'll take the removal of my posters as a breach of the 1st law as well. Thanks for proving the point, as usual.

Attempts to locate the person after the letter is placed would simply end in seeing yet another darkly robed and hood figure among the many others likely trafficking the isle. As always, the island knows who the hood figure is, and the figure makes no attempts to hide their appearance, beyond the mask they always wear.* "Yes, because speaking with hostile Banites is a very good way to continue living and gaining knowledge. Its a truth that they would be allowed to get away with killing anyone they wished on this isle. As well as torturing anyone they see fit, regardless of the effects for the isle of Tarkuul and its inhabitants. I'm sure also that any private conversation with an obviously hostile self would likely end up in the same manner. No, I'll decline your "gracious" offer. Also my posters only suddenly became offensive when I upped the anty as it where, and directly accused the apparently unbiased speaker. Funny that isn't it? I believe my posters offends one necromancer who has very strong links to the Banites, if not a member of their Church, you and the speaker. That's about it. I wouldn't call that a lot of inhabitants. Rather three extremely biased individuals. So I'll rather leave you with this warning, and hope you remember it when the sands begin tumbling down. Politicians lie for a living. -MX" |

The Captain stand from his desk seeing the note pushed beneath his door, reading it his head lowers then shakes. Inhaling a heavy sigh he flattens the letter into a large black tome. Turning he takes out a further piece of parchment and goes to write, pausing he sighs again. Standing he leaves his office and moves through the city to gathers those of the guard to attend the next meeting. Pausing by the letter he'd read attached to his note in public display, he pulls it down and continues on. |

A whisper hits Kest from what looks like a lump of dirty dark rags on the ground near the posting. Times, they are a'changing, old friend. If the city still hears you, you might wish to remind it of what they are changing -from-. With that, Katsumi resumes her motionless pose, only the glint of a green eye to give her away. //Catch me ic if we can, she has news. |

There is a hideous rumbling from the island centered on the jail cell area after a heated argument breaks out into swordfight. The ensuing Voice's emanation is loud enough to be heard through the entire Castle and Library. In the discourse of the discussion, a person known as "Octavia" is berated for not "keeping her men in line." As penance, they are "to be removed from their only safe haven, as death is no deterrence, something the Living City knows all too well." Four skeletons with greatswords escort a set of people easily identified as Banites, along with Seeamros Silverkin, and Ryan Banesman from the island. |

A rather feral looking elf strolls off after conversing with the group that were escorted out, singing rather badly to herself as she stomps around the swamps in attempt to splash as much water around as she can. Any that pass her might occasionally see her snickering quietly to herself in the manner of a naughty child. |

The Captain stands beside the undead as the group are lead from the City. Armour glistening of bleached bone, crimson ribbons and etchings decorate his plate. Gauntlet at his blade hilt sewn on the top an iron cross centre over the cross is an ornately stitched skull. Beneath this insignia the words. "Protection of Knowledge" His expression remains hidden from sight, when he'd ensured the people were exited through the swamp portal he turns moving to the Tower of the damned shaking his head. "Perhaps now people will not be so quick to judge the City's capability..." |
