ANNOUNCEMENT Crystalize the Past ◈ June Meeting ◈ Forge the Future

[Nord]

WITHOUT JUSTICE, THERE IS NO ORDER!

Nord rose from the roiling ocean before him. Salt sticks to him as it falls off him in streams as he takes to the skies. His wings glistened as he began his daily prayer. “Father Vajra, I thank thee for thy blessing of leadership, for thy blessing to keep the Crystalline strong, and for thy blessing to succeed.” His words bellowed as the wyvern banked a sharp right, his golden eyes narrowed, the crystal mask that grew over the top part of his face keeping the wind from cutting into his eyes. “I thank thee, Vajra, Father of Justice, for giving me my mission. I will not fail you.”

Spying Samar Plaza, the Sovran suddenly cut his speed and floated down to the rose shaped gem making up the plaza. His heart calm, his eyes calculating as he took in his people. Eyes slitted as he took up a perched position, his wingtips keeping him balanced as he rumbled, “My beloved Crystalline, welcome to our first meeting in a long while.” He chuffed a dry laugh, “Our brief time of rebuilding after Jade’s heinous rule, his horrific laws, has been slowly reversed. I thank all of you for supporting me during this time of respite and time of restoration,” Nord looked to the sky, the twilight purples and amber dancing in tandem, “It’s time to once again partake in our traditions, in our own home and beyond. It’s time for us to be Crystalline again!”

The crowd before him boomed in agreement, cheers and battle cries shook the ground beneath his claws. Golden eyes twinkle as he bares his fangs in agreement, "Let us once again call for a Lieutenant to rise, an Alchemist to descend, Assistants to call to arms, a Blacksmith to forge anew, a Reaver to sharpen themselves, a Trawler to craft their place, Paragons to hone themselves. Sign-ups for Ranks are open for all Crystalline, in the name of Aether and Vajra!"

While the crowd chatted excitedly, Nord hummed, “We will be announcing Call of the Hunt soon, while we were rebuilding, it’s start passed us by. I thank you all for your patience in our most important tradition. It will be announced at the end of June, and will last until the end of August. Less time than usual, yes, but we have more to celebrate with our home no longer afoul with our past Sovran and his….traffickers.” A faint snarl bared gleaming fangs, his eyes murderous for a brief moment before he calmed.

“As we once again fill our ranks, I need those willing….” a look of disgust crossed his face for a microsecond before smoothing, “to travel to other groups and see their opinion of us, and once again establish trade, to let our merchants know where it is safe to travel during Call of the Hunt.” Nord swung his head to eye the crowd, noticing the nervous faces, “Do not worry, the groups shall not hurt my people, else they incur the wrath of Taika and Vajra before being sealed away by the Twins for their crimes.”

With one last deep breath, Nord roared into the twilight skies, “WE WILL BECOME STRONG AGAIN! WE ARE THE CRYSTALLINE!”
