My past and future are mysteries even to myself. I have memories of who I am yet I'm not sure whether they are true or merely images created by my mind to protect me from myself. I don't reflect on them as they are only distractions to the moment at hand. There are more pressing matters then what has already occured.
Nothing is known for sure except your own existance. Never be sure of anything else or else you shall limit your mind to what you believe is the truth.
That is what drives me, to learn all that I can while never being sure of anything. As such I wander everywhere in search of thoughts.
Many things are presumed for the sake of learning more. I assume that the things I can see and people I talk to are real though not necessarily taken at face value.
(Again closest I can find. Wings should be more brown and hair should be a darker brown. Will also need to be updated)
I have given a feather from them to Indyra and; upon her placing it in her hair; it began to glow with a pristine white light. The reason behind this is a mystery to us both. This too warrants further investigation.
Gifts I have been given:
A rose of luck gifted to me by Lady Dawn.
Key to room 16 at the Root of the Matter Inn.
A small bottle of phoenix tears from Mya Celestia.

The Synod
About us:
We
are what we are. Simple yet difficult. When one joins us, nothing
changes for them. Almost nothing. They are forced to learn how to share
their minds, their very essence with others. Yes, it may be painful for
others, but united we stay strong. We shall be a faction, should Lord
Mur help us.
The
synod is composed of the 13 members of the higher synod, all equal
among them. The leader’s only other attribute is the ability to speak
for the entire synod. The lower circle is composed of apprentices,
those that have just joined and are learning most. The scholars (one
for 3 apprentices), the right hands of the higher synod. They teach and
supervise apprentices. The judges (one for 5 scholars, at least 3),
those that decide whether an apprentice is worthy of graduating or not.
And last, but not least, pilgrims: they are apprentices sent on their
pilgrimage. There re also outcasts: pilgrims that failed their exams or
other banished members.
Our rituals:
1. First
and most important is bonding. In this process, two different persons
become one, for a brief moment. Since all synod members share minds,
the two that bond are also one with the synod, enabling our faction to
grow. This is how we ‘initiate’ new members.
2. Second
is how we elect the Leader: L’ana R’tath. The Leader has to be member
of the higher synod (staff, when we will become a faction). The higher
synod members propose one of them for leadership. If the others agree,
then he/she is elected leader. If not, another proposition is made. If
the higher synod cannot reach an agreement, a member of the lower synod
is proposed and all members can vote.
3. A
leader cannot be normally replaced, but if all other higher synod
members believe he/she is not doing their job right anymore, then we
turn to our third ritual: Ra’Ka’ali. As I said if all other members
agree the leader is no longer fit of his/ her position, he will be
replaced immediately. If however, only a few doubt his/her leadership,
then we shall turn to our fourth ritual.
4. Sha’Ra’thum
is the fourth ritual in which the current leader competes with the
contestants of his leadership. Further details cannot be revealed to
nobody else but members of the Higher Synod.
5. Assimilation
is a common process in which one of us literally converts a material
object into energy, sharing all the information it contains with other
members.
6. Pilgrimage:
is the rite of passage for each of our apprentices. During the
pilgrimage, they must learn to survive without the aid of the synod and
return to us with something worth our attention.
