The Council of Light

8/15/2002: HSN RELEASE: COL MOVES!

Beatings, assassinations and strongarm tactics abound! No, it's not SimuCon. All of these were indicators of change for the feared Council of Light.

Officials within the organization say that anyone who has a problem with this need only step up and say so...

Where sign of darkness takes you depends on where you are in the lands.

Wehnimer's Landing - Council Chambers in the bathhouse.
Teras Isle - the old manor on the west side of town. Hope you know how to get out or you're stuck there forever. hmm..ok..here's a hint...Check the statue ;)
Shadow Valley - the ledge at the crevice.
IceMule - southeast of town on GiantMan Path.
River's Rest - the dark alley just northeast of the bank.
Pinefar - Upstairs at the Trading Post, Second Floor Alcove
Solhaven - The Street where all the Temples are
Rift, - Icemule's Giantman path.
Ta'Illistim, - Cavern - solve the puzzle on the altar to get out
Ta'Vaalor - Inconveniently teleports you to Zul Logoth, though for those wanting to get to landing it's quite convenient.
Ruins of Ta'Faendryl - ?

Notes

Please note that if you let any non-CoL members see your spirit drain below half of what you normally have, you run the risk of being punished, i.e. losing your powers for a length of time (usually 20, 30 or 60 minutes) .
If you wish to leave this society BEFORE you master, return to the Poobah and say...
"I RESIGN FROM THE SOCIETY".
The OLD WAY in Landing: ~~How to get to headquarters: Enter Bathhouse, go tapestry, pull chain three times, stand, go north to speak to the Taskmaster.~~ If you are a MASTER, go behind the tapestry in the bathhouse, kneel in the toilet before you flush it. You will be in an odd shrine of some sort. Look around, there will be a room in which you see yourself. And yourself will be taunting you. Don't fight yourself, just kneel and pray. Everything will be ok. But you won't have your society powers to call upon anymore.
It's important to remember what signs you are running at all times. If you wrack, then your sign of swords runs out later, you have a chance of someone seeing that shouldn't, or killing yourself all together if you drain to zero spirit. Spirit death is costly, usually you'll insta-decay and it will cost you two deeds as well. Be most careful when hunting in the Sheru area and other ares where critters drain your spirit.
Do Not speak of the Secret Society aloud to non-members.....Your life may be at stake!

NEW QUESTIONS!

COL Questions

Council of Light

Beware the Assassins!!

Jelsara states, "The Council has begun to turn its attention to the Landing before extending its hands into new realms.

Jelsara states, "We were surprised to hear of the lack of discipline within the Council, and horrified to see it first hand. The oath of membership is a serious matter and we are not pleased with such lax promises.

Jelsara speaks softly, "We cannot hope to attain the light when our membership is darkened by those unwilling to abide by their oaths. Only through steadfast commitment, do we hope to avoid the stain of darkness."

Jelsara states, "Due to the lack of commitment by our brethren, we are returning a firm hand, where a hands off approach had been left."

Tiranee waves a hand in front of Pandaemonium's face and says, "It's time to hold your tongue, Pandaemonium, before it becomes the death of you."

Jelsara states, "The Council will be enforcing the Oath, whether the membership puts the proper stock in it or not."

Jelsara states quietly, "This is only the first step in a ongoing process for the Council's return attention to the Landing."

Jelsara speaks softly, but her voice carries to the far reaches of the room. "Heed thy Oaths, brothers and sisters."

Jelsara walks slowly from the room.

Jelsara just went west.

Tiranee glides west.

Zarina glides west.

Braylock glides west.

Tinnermann vanishes in a puff of smoke!
