As a fitting conclusion to the Elanthian Conclave, individuals were invited to join a pilgrimage through the Ancient Passage in Zul Logoth to the DragonSpine Fane. For some the pilgrimage was a personal journey of spiritual significance, by 2 pm people made their way to the spot and the tokens and spiritual knowledge was shared on the afternoon of the 3rd day of Eorgaen. 

Documented below:

Speaking softly to you, Mandral says, "Perhaps your Order should make this journey as one of their events."

Haedahl quietly asks, "Did you find the trip inspirational?"

[DragonSpine Fane, Altar Chamber]
Illuminated from above, the triangular chamber's air is heavily scented with myrrh.  Matching the shape of the room, a small dais supports a three-sided stone altar crafted of smooth grey, white, and black tiles.  Three corridors exit deeper into the mountain, while the archway in the eastern wall leads to a landing and the stairs beyond.  You also see a whimsical snow spirit that is flying around, a diminutive fire elemental and a gilt-ringed giftbox.

Speaking softly to Rohese, Mandral asks, "Do you care to share what token you brought and explain it's signifigance?"

Rohese smiles.

(OOC) Clunk's player whispers, "I added a list of the steps and the Arkati at each step to https://gswiki.play.net/DragonSpine_Fane."

Mandral softly asks, "Did anyone else bring a token to share?"

Speaking softly to Mandral, Rohese says, "Of course, I'd be happy to."

Rohese softly says, "Wisteria."

Rohese taps a trailing vine of wisteria, which is in her right hand.

Rohese softly says, "A token to resemble the vines in the gardens that Lumnis spent her time in."

Rohese smiles.

Rohese softly says, "Where she pondered the world."

Rohese softly says, "Met and fell in love with Koar."

Rohese places a hand over her heart.

Mandral turns an inquisitive ear toward Rohese.

Rohese softly says, "So I consider it a fundamental part of my devotion to her to honour the sanctity of marriage and sacrament of trust and love."

Rohese put a trailing vine of wisteria on a three-sided stone altar.

Rohese glances at a three-sided stone altar and clasps her hands in a reverent gesture.

Speaking softly to Rohese, Mandral says, "Thank you for bringing the vine, and sharing its signifigance to you and your journey."

Speaking softly to Mandral, Rohese says, "You are welcome."

Speaking softly to Alifair, Rohese says, "The climb tests the most physically adept."

Haedahl quietly asks, "Did anyone else bring a token or testament?"

Clunk deeply says, "Just I gots to find em."

Mandral grins at Clunk.

Speaking encouragingly to Clunk, Carial says, "Please, share them with us all."

Speaking softly to Clunk, Mandral says, "Perhaps you, yourself are the token?"

Clunk looks over at Mandral and shakes his head.

Clunk deeply says, "Ifn I say that, he gonna bonk me on head for sure."

Berkana removes a polished gold Eorgina statuette from in her ebonwood reliquary.

Berkana removes a faceted black diamond from in her rose-patterned robe.

Speaking amusedly to Clunk, Carial says, "Perhaps you, yourself, should lie on the altar."

Berkana says, "The statuette is pretty obvious, been carrying it around for years."

Berkana chuckles.

(OOC) Mandral's player whispers, "You know, Clunk has a private home here, a big one, you could probably even gather there for your event prior to the journey."

Mandral smiles at Berkana.

Berkana put a polished gold Eorgina statuette on a three-sided stone altar.

Carial smiles at Berkana.

Alifair cocks her head at Berkana.

Clunk deeply says, "This'n I think."

Clunk removes a dark monir blacksmith sculpture from in his infantry backpack.

Berkana says, "But the black diamond.."

Berkana indicates her black diamond with a smile.

Berkana says, "As pitch as night, and the Darkness that She rules over."

Berkana put a faceted black diamond on a three-sided stone altar.

Rohese nods slowly.

Haedahl quietly asks, "Thank you for sharing. Who is next?"

(Berkana prods the diamond and statuette closer to the black tile side of the altar.)

Eruheran says, "I don't have a token of Koar with me, but I do have this."

Eruheran indicates his auburn autumn leaf with a smile.

Eruheran says, "A few years ago during House Sovyn's annual Harvest Blessing at Imaera's shrine..."

Mandral turns an inquisitive ear toward Eruheran.

Eruheran says, "During the offering we were greeted with a warm gust of wind carrying a large pile of leaves."

Eruheran says, "The wind stopped and the leaves hovered in mid air, just floating."

Eruheran says, "And then proceeded to drop gently into a pile before us."

Clunk removes a dragon's-tear ruby from in his dwarven war girdle.

Clunk just closed a diamond-inset dwarven war girdle.

Carial says, "You were truly blessed by Imaera."

Carial places a hand over her heart.

Eruheran says, "Everyone there was able to take one as a token of Imaera's blessing."


Rohese softly says, "How lovely."

Berkana says, "How lovely."

Berkana says, "Nature can be so... amusing."

Berkana says, "It dropped a trillum blossom in front of Geijon when they found Leya's Shrine."

Clunk fidgets.

Carial nods encouragingly at Clunk.

Speaking softly to Clunk, Mandral says, "Would you like to share?"

Mandral smiles.

Clunk trudges up to a three-sided stone altar.

Clunk deeply says, "'two."

Clunk carefully placed a dark monir blacksmith sculpture on a three-sided stone altar.

Clunk deeply says, "That be to honor Eonak, he who made dwarfs, he make blades fer the Arkati, and he who knows the goodness of hard work."

Clunk reaches out and touches a dark monir blacksmith sculpture on a three-sided stone altar.

Clunk deeply says, "This'n."

Clunk slowly empties his lungs.

Carial brightly remarks, "Such beautiful tokens and so perfect for the occasion."

Rohese nods in agreement at Carial.

Clunk deeply says, "This be fer them that most has forgot, them who most say is a dwarfs tale, and who this dwarfs knows is real."

Clunk put a dragon's-tear ruby on a three-sided stone altar.

Clunk deeply says, "Them who birthed Arkati, and guided em in they ways."

Rohese quietly murmurs, "Ferushigon."

Clunk deeply says, "Mebbe some knows."

Clunk nods to a three-sided stone altar.

Mandral gazes with interest at a three-sided stone altar.

Mandral softly asks, "Does anyone else have a token to share?"

You softly say, "I have an item I'd like to share."

Mandral glances between Mikalmas and yourself.

Mandral nods to you.

(Rohese kisses her fingers and touches the ruby on the stone altar.)

You tap a sphere encased silver scythe, which is in your right hand.

You softly say, "This was in creation for the Sphere and Scythe after that day Jastev came to me in that vision."

You softly say, "If I may share the details of it with you."

Speaking to you, Carial says, "Please do."

Linaine softly says, "Oh yes, you must."

You softly say, "The convex lens of the crystal sphere allows you to view the intricate scrollwork of the silver scythe encased within with greater detail.  The scythe is engraved with feather scrollwork from the snath of the handle to the toe of the blade.  The grip of this tiny scythe is wrapped in grey leather.  Beyond the scythe, in the background of the sphere you notice two figures etched in the back side of the crystal.  One is a winged woman dressed in robes of grey, opposite an old man dressed in drab colors."

Linaine twitches her shoulderblades.

Carial says, "Beautiful."

Carial nods firmly.

Berkana says, "What workmanship..."

You softly say, "It represents the two strongest Arkati within the Order, these two have provided Mikalmas and I a safe place to share knowledge and a wealth of information with all of Elanthia."

Speaking to Linaine, Carial says, "And something close to your heart, I'm sure."

You put a sphere encased silver scythe on a three-sided stone altar.

You softly say, "Id also like to say this Conclave has been one that has brought tears to my eyes and I have realy enjoyed every moment of it with everyone here."

Alifair says, "This is for my lady, Imaera."

Alifair says, "My commune is with her as I go about my day."

Alifair put a coil of tiny white Imaera's lace on a three-sided stone altar.

Linaine smiles at Alifair.

Speaking fondly to Alifair, Rohese says, "Lovely."

Speaking softly to you, Mandral says, "I've said it many times this week, we cannot thank you and your Order enough for what you have shared this week. That goes to all of you here and that have been here this week."

Speaking softly to Mandral, you say, "It has been a true honor."

Clunk quietly says, "Tiz a shame so few honor the Arkati."

Linaine softly says, "Those which do make up for it."

Alifair says, "Perhaps many do, but in their own way."

Speaking softly to Clunk, Mandral says, "It seems many honor them when they need them."

Carial says, "It is my hope that will come to know them one day and allow them into their hearts."

Berkana says, "We should really strive to tell as many stories about Them as often as we can.  So few actually visit the libraries."

Alifair says, "We hope to repeat this event in the future."

Alifair says, "Perhaps we can extend our enthusiasm to others."

Clunk deeply says, "I thinks of tales and places I seen and things been done whilst workin inb the forge."

Rohese softly says, "I shall endeavour to spread the word."

Mikalmas gazes in awe at a black marble gravestone miniature in his hand.

Haedahl quietly says, "My master is always willing to welcome new converts."

Speaking softly to Clunk, Rohese says, "The forge is as a good as a library to a devotee."

Mikalmas says, "I do have an item with me that Ive carried for many years."

Speaking encouragingly to Mikalmas, Carial says, "Please, share it with us, if you would."

Mikalmas taps a black marble gravestone miniature, which is in his right hand.

Mikalmas says, "As everyone knows I was at the debate on behalf of Gosaena."

Rohese smiles.

Linaine nods at Mikalmas.


Mikalmas says, "I mentioned that Gosaena is final."

Mikalmas nods.

Carial slips her hands back inside her sleeves and listens intently to Mikalmas.

Mikalmas says, "I will not leave this statue on the altar because I use it frequently."

Mandral adopts an agreeable expression.

Carial nods at Mikalmas.

Mikalmas says, "But I will pass it around for everyone to LOOK at, if interested."

Berkana nods at Mikalmas.

*Looking at the gravestone miniature we see*

Carved from a solid slab of ebon-hued marble, the gravestone is intricately etched with two towering Ebon Gates.  The silhouette of a slender figure with brilliant silver hair and ice blue eyes stands in the distance.  Looking closely, you can see her brilliant white feathered wings stretch outward toward the gates.  Below the gates deeply etched in curved silver script are the words, "Serenity comes with the Acceptance of Fate."  The miniature appears to have enough room to WRITE an epitaph.

Haedahl quietly says, "At this time I'd like to welcome each of you to take a gift to commemorate our week together."

Speaking softly to Meril, Mandral asks, "Did you have something to share?"

Berkana says, "Ah, something I need to find my way."

Carial says, "What a lovely sentiment."

Meril says, "I should like to offer something here as well."

Mikalmas says, "I believe the saying below the gates says it all."

Mandral nods.

Speaking to Meril, Carial says, "Please do."

Mikalmas says, "Below the gates deeply etched in curved silver script are the words, "Serenity comes with the Acceptance of Fate."."

Speaking softly to Meril, Mandral says, "Of course, please."

Meril says, "Imaera is known as the goddess of the land to most, but she also holds dominion over water."

Clunk selects a gilt-ringed compass inlaid with black and white mosaic from a gilt-ringed giftbox.

Linaine softly says, "Truer words have not been written."

Mandral smiles at Linaine.

Meril says, "Not the open seas of Charl and Niima, but one cannot drink the water of the sea."

Meril says, "She ushers the streams and rivers, keeps them clean for us."

Meril says, "So I should like to leave something here, of the marriage of earth and water, and of preservation."

Meril gestures at a bottle of sylvan marigold wine.

Meril put a bottle of sylvan marigold wine on a three-sided stone altar.

Speaking softly to Meril, Rohese says, "I had never thought of it that way, thank you for sharing."

Mandral softly says, "Did anyone else have anything to share? Words or tokens are welcome, always."

Speaking softly to Mikalmas, Mandral says, "Thank you and yours, for everything you have provided."

Clunk deeply says, "Thank ye."

Linaine softly says, "It was all of you who made the experience what it was."
