Join the Starkeepers today!

[Weaverific]

People should join the Starkeepers!

WHO ARE WE?
The Starkeepers are a newly formed PC faction.  They are part holy order, part magical guild and all, pretty high energy.

FACTION GOALS:
The non spoilery, stated goals of the Starkeepers is to empower it's members with magic.  I.e. building up mages and relic hunting for non mages.  To expand the worship of Mystryl.  To gather ridiculous amounts of magical items and offer them to Mystryl.  To protect and repair the Weave.  To be on a permanent quest for magical relics and dungeon delving!  Blood for da Grum-!  Er.  I mean, Magic for the Mystryl!

The Starkeepers believe that Ymph will in the future be home to the largest institutions of magic in the world and are laying the groundwork today for the millions who will flock here tomorrow.  They will work to preserve and categorize all sites of magical interest on the island, even less than savory ones, but especially the Conclave ruins.

There are spoilery goals which I won't post here, but suffice it to say more is going on!

It was observed comically by one of our members today that we may be a star-trek mirror-universe version of the Conclave, insofar as while we lack evil-beards, we are, at present, pretty bubbly, happy characters who are all in favor of the expansion of magic and sharing it with EVERYONE!  Everyone means everyone.  Not just mages.  Everyone.  Magic is a gift.  Like herpes.  And like herpes, we need to spread it, whether people want it or not!  In fact, we may not even tell them and let them just find out when they get a report from their doctor.

ALIGNMENTS:
Any except chaotic evil.  Our current members are on the whole, pretty bubbly and very happy at the rebirth of Mystryl but they are looking to recruit as many who work the weave as possible.  I doubt that any chaotic evil PCs would fit into the group as they are unlikely to be socially stable enough.  I see plenty of room for neutral evil and lawful evil pcs to join, they may be self serving and simply want magic, or they could actually believe in the Starkeepers goals.

There should be an interesting interplay between the classic, conservative wizardly sorts and the bubbly, high energy, enthusiastic non mages in the ranks who want to force feed them magic like they are an Italian grandmother.  But honey, you are all skin and bones, let us get some good warm scrolls into you!

CLASSES:
Any.  Our current membership includes pure class fighters, wizards, sorcerers, bards, rogues and others.  This is not strictly a guild for mages and while there is a big emphasis on empowering the mages in our ranks, we will help the non mages feel the wonders of the Weave by helping them gain magical items.

I doubt druids would fit in, but I suppose it is technically possible if they found a reason to love magic or Mystryl.

DEITIES:
Mystryl is a plus but not every member worships Mystryl, as long as they revere magic they will find a warm welcome.



To join, find Johnathon Mistson in game or send him a letter.



I now turn this thread over to you, the masses and invite you to devote the rest of this thread to posting names and/or brief descriptions for the most ridiculous, outrageous, offensive or otherwise useless spells.  I offer the following:

Bigbys BLT:
Material Reagents:  Two slices bacon, two pieces of lettuce, half a tomato, two slices of bread.  3,000 gold pieces.
Pile the tomato ontop of the lettuce and bacon.  Add mustard as desired.  Place bread three inches beside the pile.  Chant softly to magically transmute the reagents into a completed sandwich, burning the gold up in the process.

Soon, hopefully, very soon.

Aethereal said it. Until then, we wait.

It seems there is a mystery here to unfold.

The Convocation of Mystery is summoned.

[Deception]

I support this message.

[NecropolisV]

id definately suggest joining the convocation people! now is a time for magic to flourish like never before with the return of mystryl! My character is a devout mage and participates in the convocation as much as possible and im having more fun already than with any of my past characters. plenty of interaction with people, the desert and conclave ruins, and heavily involved in the most recent addition of mystryl obviously. I majorly suggest joining up, its really fun.

These people are scum and you should avoid their faction like the plague.

Haha no just kidding, pretty cool group, open to a broad array of alignments and concepts. Pretty much all you need to be is 'for' magic, even if your 'for' magic...al items on your body.

PS: They got a crapload of mages as you might expect, but are always welcoming to more, and will take any class.

Also DM attention.

[Weaverific]

We do indeed welcome non casters in our ranks!  I am not a caster!

You just have to love magic.

Love it so much that the love is unnatural and bordering on the obsessive.

A love of the Weave so deep that you would be arrested if caught in public for certain regressive and unconstitutional laws in the Southern United States...

[NecropolisV]

you scare me weaverific >_> lol jk

[NecropolisV]

*bump bump* we are growing! if you want some true interaction with magic and wild adventures into the unknown and mysterious i heavily recommend joining with us! And if your interesting in what dirty, dark, or otherwise happy secrets lie within the conclave we are making big headway in that area if you want to find out more about it! If your an alchemist, or want to learn more about it we got two of them that are very succesful as it is! Looking for some sick RP that can involve and mingle itself in literally any situation? Then this is the place for you :D

[Aethereal]

Certainly a good time for folks interested in learning (mastering!) the alchemy / herbalism crafting systems to join up, as NecropolisV mentioned.

There's also plenty of opportunity to learn more about the changes taking place in the realm of magic within the setting and once again, you do not need to play a mage to join.

In fact, we could probably do with more martial oriented (Mystryl worshipper / magic enthusiast / investigator / mage-guardian) concepts who would immediately gain the support of a variety of mages for their quests etc and I dare say learn a bit of magic on the way.
