Constables seems like a police force, and that does not seem quite
right. It seems to me we are in we are in a sense politically
anarchists. The ruling force seems to be inconsequential, but we will
fight to uphold what we view as right. But as far as semantics, I am
quite awful.

I will keep my eye out for this young warrior Chrittian; we could
certainly use more Guardians (though I have been considering
changing that group's name to "Constables," what do you think?).

As for Zv and his journal, I will be sure to change the message of
the day to divulge this posting-place's location the next time I am
able.  That should resolve that issue.

Sincerely,

This was misinterpretation of something written by a young warrior by
the name of Chrittian. When discussing various organizations of folks
in our world, he was quoted as saying:

"I'm looking for a generally good-willed group, either along the
lines of "Strength and Honor" types, or "Magically Mysterious, but
not evil" (Such as The Poor Sages of Lordareon)"

And for some reason I read that he was looking for groups with
"Strenght and Honor", and "Magically Mysterious", as opposed to an
evil on such as The Poor Sages of Lordareon. I was shocked by this,
but on further reading I saw how I misconstrued his words.

The warrior Chrittian seems to be a fascinating young forsaken, and
after my comments, we spoke briefly in the world about the sages. I
mentioned that if I were walking the world today, I would try to meet
with him to discuss things in person. Perhaps if the High Proctor is
roaming Azeroth, he might wish to speak to Chrittian.

(( it is late, but what is good and what is evil is quite
interesting. I would comment on your writing above, but I think I
must get going ))

I am curious as to who would say such a thing about the Sages, and
would like to hear their reasoning.  Lord Harrier Tul, could you
point me in the correct direction to get some answers?

On the whole, I see many Forsaken as innately amoral but
intellectually interested in righteousness.  We generally do not
have the warm fleshy feelings that some warmbloods associate with
goodness... But the Sages look beyond biological capability into the
realm of greater insight.

The warlocks in the service of the Poor Sages understand, like most
warlocks and shadow priests, that control of so-called dark magic
and the infernal is crucial to ending the threat of the Burning
Legion in our world.

I would rather not we be viewed as evil, but if that is to be our
lot, then so be it.  It does not change the mission of the Poor
Sages one bit.

For future reference, not evil does not mean evil. The not was thrown
in there just to confuse me, and I am sure that that was done out of
spite. Still, the idea of what is evil is an interesting subject, but
for another day I expect.

I was browsing the official realm web site, and someone mentioned we
sages as being an evil guild. I was shocked. Is our mission evil? Do
we present ourselves as evil? I see nothing of the sort.

Certainly there are undead among us (looks in the mirror), and we
have our share of warlocks, but it does not strike me that we are in
the slightest bit evil. In fact, I would say the leanings is the
opposite and is quite good. The views of some I have talked to have a
twist, but I see the intent behind the words to be good, generous and
true.

Am I deluded?

Dear Verzhanzi,

Thank you for posting your information.  This breakdown allows me to
understand where to place initiates.  Indeed, I believe your skills
will be of most use within the Harvesters.

As a Harvester, of course your duties will be to provide raw
materials for our other members as they continue their studies.  Of
course, this is not a one-way road, and we will share the fruits of
our labors with you.  I am pursuing the potential of finding an
enchantment that improves herbalism currently, for example.

Do well, and you will find promotion to High Reaper or Master
Treasurer fairly quick.  Perhaps the latter role would suit your
more observational tendencies.

Sincerely,

High Proctor Sesobael

First of all, I would like to wish you well on the state of one's mind.
Though the mind is but a tool, if it is not functioning properly,
much of ones being is in turmoil. As to your desire to collect and
collate observations, I empathize, although I come to think that I
will never reach the end of such.

I look forward to greeting you in the world, although I never am

High Proctor,

You should not worry about those fish recipes, as I have procured
one. I am afraid I was robbed at the auction house, but at least that
should make me much more suitable for the order.

As to the alcohol, I will need to leave that for others. While the
presence of alcohol is not why I will not be at the party, I can
think of better things to be around drunk folks eating tainted fish,
smelling quite questionable. Though on further thought, I guess the
alcohol may help deal tolerating those issues.

The poor priest Tul

Friend Tul,

We are not called the Poor Sages for nothing.  I myself would be
penniless but for a donation made by Empathica of the Coffin Hunters.

If you are able to gather some alcoholic beverages, or find a still
and mix up some yourself, please package them carefully and send
them to me through the mail.  I will not be available tonight, as
I'm attending the Conference on the Vampiric Transference Theory all
evening.

Thank you again, friend Tul.

Sincerely,

High Proctor Sesobael

Dear Sages,

I spent much of last eve fishing and hunting dig rats for my famous
dig rat stew, but we are still short one very important ingredient
for the party on Wednesday night: liquid refreshment.

I am given to understand that there may be quite a number of orcs in
attendance.  I am also given to understand that orcs like their
liquors.  I propose that we accomidate our friends and bring as many
stout liquors to the event as possible.  Any help that can be given
would be appreciated.

Also, I managed to catch a good number of the rare Deviate fish last
night; I am told they make excellent party favors.  I wanted to get
the recipe for Savory Deviate Delight, but sadly to purchase such a
thing at the auction house is beyond the means of even a fiscally-
minded Poor Sage.  If anyone knows this recipe, or has access to it,
let me know.

Travel safely, especially around Tarren Mill.  There was another
attack last night, led by quite a number of sixtieth-seasoned
veterans.  Still I am uncertain of what they believe they will
accomplish there.

Sincerely,

High Proctor Sesobael

Priest Tul,

By no means is this event manditory.  We love to see you when you are

It is good to hear of you joining us, though myself, I feel wonder if

some such designation.

tul the confused

(( ooc personally I try not to join ooc channels, so please whisper
me if needed out of character ))

Dear sages

A few days ago I was allowed to join your company, but I fear I gave
but a feeble introduction. My resume is sorely out of date, and my
references are not quite speaking yet. When I spoke to the High
Proctor Sesobael, I am afraid I was in a melancholy mood, though he
humored me by letting me in despite this. With this in mind, I
thought it best to try to let you know who I am, much to your boredom
I am sure.

I am a priest of most humble ambitions, though my age is on the elder
side. Due to this obscene lack of drive, I have eschewed most calls
to join the ranks of others. I was attracted by the High Proctor's
words, though I am not sure why. I am quite ignorant of our world. I
fear even when people speak to me, my ears glass over.

For example the other day Tauren in Thunderbluff was humoring me by
asking for some seeds from the crater down south, and I gave them. I
paid little attention why he wanted such things, be it for evil or
good made little matter. The seeds were neither good nor bad, while
he promised me a thing i think if I did so, I did not pay attention.
An action was asked of me, and so I figured why not. Actions must
happen, let us do so and observe. It makes little difference.

I am not a sage, a sage is wise, and I am anything but. I am a mind
that sits and watches this world through this skull and limbs. I am
interested in watching people's words, their futile ambitions, their
angst and their torment.

Perhaps it is best to think of me as an Observer.

the priest Tul

(( ooc
Tul is an undead shadow priest of 49 seasons.
I am an alchemist/herbalist closing to my peak of training.
I am a casual player with sporadic times.
I will rarely go into dungeons as I dislike playing when I cannot
immediately leave, and I will not allow the game to intrude into my
life. Even though I approach the proper age and I am a priest, I will
not be involved in end game, though smaller dungeons it is possible I
may occasionally enter.
What I have, other are welcome to. I have decided that the race after
the pretty things in this games is a fools errand.

I have found due to my sporadic playing times, continuity is lacking
and I do do well with long story lines, especially scripted. I enjoy
spontaneous repartee. I hope my character is amendable to the other
sages.

The Poor Sages of Lordaeron have finally recieved their charter, and
begun to recruit.  Now is the time to celebrate the dawning of a new
age... hopefully one of sanity and peace in our beloved homeland of
Lordaeron.

This Wednesday, 1/25, we will be gathering the Poor Sages, thier
friends, and prospective members at the Gallows End tavern in Brill
for an evening of good times and comraderie.  We will begin the
festivities at half past seven bells by the old town hall clock
((That's 7:30 pm server time)).

Though I do not personally crave food or drink much anymore, I am
given to understand that many do, and will be buying comestibles for
everybody in attendance, thanks to a donation made by Guildmaster
Empathica of the Coffin Hunters.  Those looking for specialized eats
should bring their own

I hope for a substantial turnout, and a joyful time.  Alliance: I
would invite your more diplomatic members, but I do not think that
the guards will allow you into the tavern.  Any who gather outside
town under a banner of peace, however, are welcome to the feast as
well.

Sincerely,

High Proctor Sesobael of the Order of the Poor Sages of Lordaeron

Long live the Poor Sages and may our knowlage travel far and wide
across the land!

First let me wish you all a good day.

I am new to your ranks and humbly thank you for taking me under your

when I was struck with the Plague.

((I also wish to tell you that there have been two channels created
for the guild, The first being an OOC channel called PoorSagesOOC, to
join this you simply type /join PoorSagesOOC  , the second is
friendsofpoorsages, a place where those who are not in the guild or
have left the guild for reasons beyond their control may come to keep
in contact with the guild.  I do hope that you all join and incourage
your friends to join the friends channel.  I might have spelled them
wrong, in what is capitalized and what is not... if so I will fix
this issue as soon as possible.))

I look forward to meeting you all and to learn and to share what
little knowlage I have with you all.

As a new guild, we must seek out new members.  This is a given, if
we want to survive and thrive.

What we don't want to do, however, is recruit indiscriminately.  We
must spend time analyzing each applicant, and make sure that they
are truly intereated in the ideals of the Poor Sages before we
extend an invitation.  It is quality, not quantity, that we're
looking for.

We will not discriminate based on race, gender, career path, or
profession, though, for now, we must of course only recruit those
who understand orcish and/or gutterspeak.

Titled members: it is up to you to recruit your teams of underlings
for the purposes of doing your job well.  See me for potential jobs
that need to be filled.

High Proctor Sesobael

((OOC: Make sure everybody joining the guild understands that we're
a heavy RP guild that is not tunnel-visioned on dungeons, loot, or

Dear Proctor Sesobael

     I would like to be considered for the Dean of Students. I look
forward to speaking to you on this.

                                      Lady Aliserie Runetouch
                                     The Wytch of Lordaeron

Chances are, if you're interested in the Poor Sages, you're not a
twinked out powergamer who only lives to denegrate others to improve
their own ego, but I thought it prudent to establish some protocol
and a code of conduct for members of the Order.

OOC Code of Conduct

1. Be an example of good roleplaying to other players.  When
speaking in /say or /yell, always be in character.  Try to stay IC
in other situations as well, but if you need to speak OOC, then use
((double parenthesis)).

2. Conduct yourself honorably.  It hardly needs to be said, but
don't "scam" or try to cheat other players.  If you have alts, don't
twink them out... it's okay to send your alternates stuff , but try
to keep reasonable roleplaying reasons for such (if they're also
fellow guildmembers, that's a pretty good reason, though I'd like it
even more if you did the whole thing IC, giving the item to another
player and having them "deliver" it to your alt later), and NEVER,
when in a party, roll "need" on something that you will only use
with your alternate characters.

3. Respect other players.  This goes with the above two items, but
bears it's own entry.  The entire point of the Poor Sages is to
spread civility into a realm that is often sadly lacking it.  This
includes the Alliance... Even if they're raiding the heck out of
Brill, don't stoop to griefing.  If I can finagle some way of doing
it, I think it would be neat to have an Alliance-side chapter of the
Poor Sages, or at least an allied/respected Alliance guild.

4. It's okay to camp their corpse if they're attacking your city.
Hey, they brought the lightning, they'll have to deal with the
thunder.  The last thing we need is some powerful mage respawning
and blowing away youngling quest NPCs.  Camping somebody's corpse in
other situations is not tactful, however.  Don't do it.  If they
flee, let them go as long as they aren't heading to another area we
protect to cause trouble.  Pursuing enemies from a defensive
location into the field is a recipe for disaster anyway.

5. Remember that it's just a game.  We're all playing to have fun,
so don't sweat the jerks or setbacks.  Report heinous abuses or
childish behavior, and names that violate the naming policy if you
feel like it, but do it quietly.  Don't get into heated arguments.
We want a reputation for being reasonable, both in and out of
character.

I'll post an IC list of guild duties and protocol next.

PROCTORS

High Proctor - This is the head of the guild.  Also... it's me.  For
now.

Master Librarian - this is the Proctor in charge of upkeep on our
books of lore, and organizing their collection with the Harvesters,
particularly the Lore Hunter.

Dean of Students - The Dean is the Proctor of contact with all those
who are learning from the Poor Sages.  Lower-ranking members of the
guild will typically report to the Dean or the High Proctor.

Lord Ambassador - The Lord Ambassador is the Proctor who handles
relations with governments, the army, other guilds and, if
necessary, the Alliance.

GUARDIANS

High Warden of Lordaeron - The member of the order responsable for
the security of the roads from Deathknell, Tristifal Glades,
Sephulcre, Tarren Mill, and finally Hammerfall.  The duties will
generally be distributed among the High Warden's subordinates
(Warden of Brill, Warden of Silverpine, etc).

Master-at-Arms - The members of the Order of the Poor Sages of
Lordaeron must often travel out of their homeland into the rest of
Azeroth.  The Master-at-Arms is responsible for making sure that
those who need a sturdy shoulder to lend assistance.

Lord Harrier - Sometimes diplomacy fails and a threat develops that
must be sought out and taken care of.  The Lord Harrier defends the
Poor Sages by proactively removing these threats.  This is not carte
blanche to start trouble with the Alliance!

HARVESTERS

High Reaper - The High Reaper is the Harvester in charge of
organizing the aquisition of materials for the Sages' research.  The
Reaper and his or her underlings will seek out herbs, skins, ores,
minor trinkets for disenchanting, and other items to make sure that
the Sages are well-stocked.

Master Treasurer - Though the Poor Sages are not intended to be a
profitable order, money will be necessary for our projects, and for
the purposes of charity when such becomes necessary (a fund for the
victims of the Scarlet Crusade may be in order).  The Master
Treasurer will handle the Order's money and organize the selling of
unneeded items.

Lore Hunter - The Lore Hunter and his or her subordinates are
charged with seeking out tomes of knowledge and forgotten codexes.
More importantly, they need to educate themselves as to the
wherabouts of the items and books important to the various callings,
to facilitate class advancement of our members.

I believe that this list of founding members will be able to handle
most all of the challenges presented to a new guild.  New
subordinate positions will be distributed as they become necessary.

Those interested in a position should contact me here or through the
mail.

Sincerely,

Proctor Sesobael
