#lord wit

Well, now that I’ve got a number of my blogs up, I can put them all in one place. Here is the full list of blogs and the characters to whom they belong:

[this blog] @the-procurer: Lord Cyrus Phineas Whitaker, aka Lord Wit.

Procurer of information, purveyor of secrets, and philanthropist with a love of the finer things in life. Cyrus currently resides in Boralus, and deals in information, for those who truly know how to seek him out.

@the-astrallurgist: Admiral Sara Eluniia Holt.

Lady Admiral of the Blue Wolf and the Star Seeker, Head of House Sterren, Lady-wife to Lord Ardan Tahmas Holt, mother to twins Richter Erik and Aurora Nina Holt. Lady Admiral Sara has been away at sea, aboard one of her two ships - the Blue Wolf - along with a number of loyal crew and close friends. They were lucky enough to not be near Kul’Tiras when Azshara opened the sea. Her efforts have mostly been in service to King Greymane.

@the-rose-in-the-desert: Juniper Rose Blower, aka June (formerly Asset Lark).

Gilnean shapeshifter, novice of chi healing, dabbler in alchemical healing tinctures, and studier of herbalism. She currently resides in Ramkahen, aiding her partner Kyara’s people and younger brother Matin, teaching him the uses for different healing herbs and plants.

@the-eve-of-twilight: Evelyn Duskrose, aka Eve; Evaxia.

Ren’dorei priestess and twin sister to Irina Duskrose. Skilled in the delicate balance between Light and Shadow bent to the use of dishing out retribution in its most devastating forms. Eve and Irina’s whereabouts have been unknown, though their last known location by anyone was just outside Stormwind following the tragic fall of a young blue dragon to the clutches of an infamous warlock... no doubt with some sort of deal previously struck.

@the-rosecut-jeweler: Allisiana Rosaline Holt, aka Siana.

Master jeweler & craftswoman, business partner to Ilana Lunargaze, youngest sister to Lord Cedrick and Lord Jacob Holt. Siana currently stays in Boralus, in an upscale flat near her brother and sister-in-law’s home, and spends a great deal of time out conducting business with Ilana. Though her gown collection is quite extensive, they are not normally seen when she is out on business.

@the-little-blue-river: Melody Frostmane, aka River; Melogosa.

Young Kaldorei gypsy, estranged (and recently reconnected) daughter to Emmy Bluefire (Sorvegosa), ward of Darian Frostmane, friend to ‘Mina’ Mynaari (Mydori). She currently resides with Darian somewhere in Kul’Tiras - a guarded secret afforded them thanks to Cyrus’ lucrative job offer to Darian and the power to keep them hidden that comes along with it. Even so, little River likes to wander about the city of Boralus sometimes in her boredom.

@the-huntress-songblade: Titaniia Songblade, aka Tawny.

The first quartet of people arrived at the gate of Redcliffe, gaining entry and moving to a sitting room. Lord Cyrus let the Twins sit with Gwyn; meanwhile he sought out Tayela to inform her of their arrival, pleasant smile ever-present on his charming face.

Little more than a mile away, the county mage popped into existence with the remaining three - Gawain, Keenan, and Sir Atlas - and they made their way to Redcliffe.

Everything was about to unfold.

Like Sara, Cyrus has a split answer between two alignments, though his are closer together: Lawful Evil and Neutral Evil. It’s the perfect place to be pinioned - he does whatever he can get away with, holds no remorse for those caught in the crosshairs, and specifically utilizes the laws to keep himself firmly cushioned in his successful life while occasionally stepping over others to get there. Make no mistake, those allied with him will share in that success so long as their usefulness does not run dry. He is out for himself above anyone else.

Here’s the descriptions for both alignments:

Lawful Evil- A lawful evil villain methodically takes what he wants within the limits of his code of conduct without regard for whom it hurts. He cares about tradition, loyalty, and order but not about freedom, dignity, or life. He plays by the rules but without mercy or compassion. He is comfortable in a hierarchy and would like to rule, but is willing to serve. He condemns others not according to their actions but according to race, religion, homeland, or social rank. He is loath to break laws or promises. This reluctance comes partly from his nature and partly because he depends on order to protect himself from those who oppose him on moral grounds. Some lawful evil villains have particular taboos, such as not killing in cold blood (but having underlings do it) or not letting children come to harm (if it can be helped). They imagine that these compunctions put them above unprincipled villains. Some lawful evil people and creatures commit themselves to evil with a zeal like that of a crusader committed to good. Beyond being willing to hurt others for their own ends, they take pleasure in spreading evil as an end unto itself. They may also see doing evil as part of a duty to an evil deity or master. Lawful evil is sometimes called “diabolical,” because devils are the epitome of lawful evil. Lawful evil creatures consider their alignment to be the best because it combines honor with a dedicated self-interest. Lawful evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents methodical, intentional, and frequently successful evil.

Neutral Evil- A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with. She is out for herself, pure and simple. She sheds no tears for those she kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make her any better or more noble. On the other hand, she doesn’t have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has.Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies.Neutral evil beings consider their alignment to be the best because they can advance themselves without regard for others.Neutral evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents pure evil without honor and without variation.

Lord Wit appeared just outside Saltcliffe castle, rolling his head from side to side as he did so. It had been a little while since he teleported himself anywhere. He was glad he still remembered how.

After seeing to picking a few things up inside the castle, he made his way down to Seabright Port, where the stables were.

“I need the Twins’ steeds saddled and strapped for a journey. Outfit them each with gear and rations. I leave in twenty minutes.” The stablehands bowed and went off to get things straightened while Lord Cyrus drank from a healthy skin of water, replenishing his energy. He’d have one of the castle’s mages help him teleport the horses back with him this time.

Fifteen minutes later, to Cyrus’ satisfaction, the Twins’ stallions - the prized Nameday gifts sent to them by Keenan - were ready to go, both saddled and bridled and outfitted for proper long-distance travel, each stocked with a pair of saddlebags and two spare skins of water.

Within a minute later, Cyrus and one of the castle’s mages were channeling the teleportation spell to send themselves and the horses to Redridge.
