Coven of Advisory

[Sh'ozak Ma'hk'null]

Of the Schemer and His Pawns.

Harbinger intends to open a Grave. We have heard the blind whispers of his ideals, that the Deaths held within would somehow not kill, and instead of bringing ruin to all would somehow bring prosperity to some. No proof has ever been afforded of this claim, so we begin to contemplate where the truth may lie. We know very well that Graves hold Deaths, and Deaths are those things which the creators would have destroyed, but could not. He failed to lay his Dreams before us when called to Trial. His quest threatens both us and all things that exists. Harbinger is one of the old ones, and so his knowledge is respected, and would be detrimental to lose. Yet if he continues to prove both belligerent and hazardous, it will become necessary to destroy him. For as long as he can be hindered indirectly, we shall. We know those current pawns of his. Two are bound as Gravekeys. They who are bound as Gravekeys cannot die, and for humans this is great suffering. Their names are Lazurith and Caliban. To kill them, you must first rip that knowledge which is the Gravekey from their minds.

There are others, part of the scheme, Revenant, who is the Starlight Jester, and this new one, Levan. Levan may be of use, their connection to Lazurith has appeared to be one that influences both of them. We quietly left a mindlink gateway with them when we encountered them and bore witness to their spite of the Jester, yet we have yet to make use of it. We made use of the gateway we left with Caliban to offer a bargain, but it did not work according to our expectations. We will soon seek the Greymind Kin who first showed us the strange nuances of a human bargain, and see if we can yet learn the point of failure, and how better to make use of that unique strategy.

We have watched the Schemer's Pawns lose patience with Him, yet they remain his pawns and they remain bound as Gravekeys. We have still observed the strings of his will in their actions, and they will remain undying until they are unbound from the Graves. Controlling these variables remains an interest. What great misfortune, that Corrupting Ones and their machinations remain a thorn to us.

Of War.

Defense has given us leeway. We have made great successes in the Nannasuen, yet we still weave adjustments into the Dream of Creation. It is too great a shell to move in hiding, and so we devise a new dream. Defense has made a fortress wherein they cannot see, and so we would have Bloodletter weave a tapestry of War across those places where they keep their eyes. By terror, they will be misguided. By Infiltrator, they will be misled. By death, they will be blinded. By Nannasuen, they will be shattered. We are creators, weavers, architects by nature. We are form, we are pattern, we are order by shape. Let us architect Battle. Let us weave War. Let us create Victory.
