Your Loyal Servant
Brenor Hastalion
Priest of Corellon
Chairman of the Mathor-Selmiira



"In the name of the Seldarine I, Brenor of house Hastalion, War-priest of Our most holy Lord Corellon and founder of this conclave, declare the first session of the Mathor-Selmiira, on the 11'th day Flamerule in the year 1377 of the Haunting.......for open."

"My friends, colleagues...Kin
It pleases me that so many of you has chosen to answer my call for the clergy to unite in this forum of like minded.

True, we are clerics of different gods, but those are all the gods of the Seldarine. The gods of our people.

This simple truth, is what unites us, and it is what will be our greatest strength in the time to come."

I do not serve Her Grace the Coronal because I agree with everything she does...In fact there are many matters regarding our fair city where I personally would advocate a more...conservative approach."

"I serve Her Grace....because she IS the Coronal, by divine right bestowed upon Her Grace by our highest Lord Corellon himself.

It is what I believe!
It is what I trust to be right!
It is what Corellon wills!

I serve the office that is the Coronals...I serve the Realm, its people and thereby the Seldarine.

I do not hide the fact that I personally would see some things different, but nor do I hide the fact that I set aside theses matters..."

"...for the good of the Realm, and its people"

"As it stands, there is distrust, bickering and strife elf and elf between here in the city....Many of our cousins are more busy bickering about matters of who did what to this and that, than trying to settle matters in civil ways and more on.

Declaring their disgust and resentment with how things are handled.

Questioning the wisdom of Her Grace, the high council and other persons of note.

This is a path filled with danger my friends, and though many would argue that N'tel-quissir are mainly to blame for this pattern....I see just as many Tel-quissir carrying wood to this fire...."

"...a fire, that might well turn into a funeal-pyre if we...the guides of our people and link to the Seldarine...do not stand as one and act."

"So here we sit, a gathering of the combined wisdom of the Seldarine Clergy...all but a few have agreed to attend these gatherings...and those few who have refused...I can only pray they will see reason in the long run."

*stops as he reaches his chair again and looks over them, one hand on the table*

"So let us sit now, and talk.
Let us bring issues into the light, that our combined knowledge might bring reason to solve them...

But this I will say...take care that we do not end up debateing petty crimes and cases of who did what to who...

We are here to offer guidance to the Council, for no voice of the Clergy speaks there theses days...

We must discuss matters in principal, in order to keep a bird-eyes view and not get tangled in the web of intrigues that seems to span the city these days...
Let us...keep our wits about us and trust in the wisdom our beloved Seldarine has seen fit to grant us..."

"The Conclave is opened and ready for what matters its members deem worthy of our attention"

/// IG session begins in one hour///

A call goes out from the Temple, The Mathor Selmiira would welcome those willing to answer the call to join the Templar Knights.

// it you cant make it, no problem..pm me, and we'll find another evening///

// I'll try to make it.

The Coronal would come down to visit the Elder and asks how is she.
She would then go to Brenor and shows him her appreciation for accepting the care of the Baelnorn.

People of Myth Drannor, Allies and friends to The City of Song.

To those that would wish to speak with The Revered Elder Guardian, The Lady Moonshire, we humbly ask for some time to allow the Revered Elder Guardian to adjust to the city, and indeed the ways in witch we interact with those of you, not of The People. Ways that seems strange in the eyes of The Revered Elder Guardian.

On that matter, the following is a draft from the announcement made to the Mathor-Selmiira by me, Brenor Hastalion.


"My fellow Mathor-Selmiira members.

As you have no doubt heard, yesterday a great honor was bestowed upon our conclave.

The Baelnorn, Lady Kaharinthael Moonshire agreed upon the terms of a proposal I put forward.

The terms as it where, was that if we, the people of the City could prove our worth in a trial by combat against her, she in turn would not only grant our people ................................................................

But all so she would remain here in our fair city, to serve and offer guidance to us, as is the sacred duty of the Honorable Elders that the Seldarine see fit to bless.

By the courage of His Grace Lord Fflar, the Lady was indeed bested and thus has honored the deal and resides as I speak to you, here within these halls.

The Revered Elder Guardian is ancient in a way we mortal elves cannot even begin to understand. Most great dragon-wyrm's would fall short in comparing their life-span to that of the Lady Moonshire.

............................................., she would indeed have seen empires, indeed mountains raise and fall over the vast eons that has passed since the Temple she swore to protect stood in what is now the Realm of Commathor.

Understand that, when you address the Revered Elder Guardian, keep it in mind and respect it."

"The task of guarding The Revered Elder Guardian should fall to our newly founded Templar-Knights, but indeed all of the Mathor Selmiira must aid in this task.

Make her feel welcome in our sacred halls.
If she ask questions of our ways, answer to the best of your abilities.
Remember that though she is different both in mind and body, she is of the people and the Seldarine has granted her one of the highest honors there is."


We ask for your patience and trust. We will work as fast as we can towards showing The Revered Elder Guardian why the ways of the old-realms in regards to those not of The People, has little merit in the present time.

Your faith-full servant

* The bardess Kiir'Cinna Anhvae'Olkiira would offer her voice, memory and music to the Mathor-Selmiira *

"I would like to offer what little voice, knowledge of our history and music I can to the Seldarine and those that are worth of serving them. If you would have me, I would be glad to help you in any way I can those that are so blessed by our gods."

* The old war-cleric would seek out Kiir'Cinna and inform her that her services would be be welcomed although not being a divine-caster she would not be able to join any of the two Knightly orders.
He would also inquire as to who of the Seldarine Gods the Bardess follows*

/// will see to getting you forum access asap ///

((thanks

*The old cleric spends much time in the temple, looking over old maps and long forgotten volumes of lore. Every now and then he leaves for the library to extend his research.

At one point he scribles down a few words on a poster and heads, with long strides towards the announcement boards.

Shortly after he returns and resumes his studies.*

*the Poster reads*

The Mathor-Selmiira would encourage any members of the Divine-seeker order who follows the Seldarine, to contact Commander Brenor as soon as possible.
At matter has come up that may require the skills of members of said order.
