Druidic Events of the Upcoming Feast Weekend Open to All

If I may interject, I mean no disrespect in any manner. Doesn't the challenged, in this case Typhon, determine the time and conditions of this(aside from how it is to end)?

If I am mistaken thank you for correcting me, however that is how I was raised that challenges work. If it is different in this matter then obviously I am mistaken and I apologize for the confusion, but wanted to ask this in case others had the same confusion.

The challenged should be the one who chooses the time and location. The challenger should oblige [strike]and st-[/strike]


In the meantime, I'd like to take this opportunity to post that I will also be offering Totem Meditations at 12 and a half bells on the day of the feast. You need not be a druid to participate. We will meet in Kaladonia, provided something does not interrupt the meeting.

I offered him to do just that, and like many other instances he did nothing but let time pass.

I guess I must have been raised in a very different part of Selendrias than Caelvan, these sentiments seem very Kormyrian. I witnessed, from a distance, something like this in my youth. A young elf challenged the equivalent to our heirophant one day, at which point both immediately entered the grove. Several days later the young elf returned, along side a newly born faun with the old leader nowhere in sight. None of the druids questioned the change, but when I inevitably asked what happened the new leader simply said that they determined that he was more fit to lead.
Airing dirty laundry in public like this is seems unnecessary.

Orophin,

I happen to agree with you.

This is very unnecessary.

This has gone far enough.

The intent of the individual known as Clove is to institute a state of anarchy within the Druid community.  By challenging the leader of the community, and assuming the role himself, he can ensure there is no structure present.

Clove has twisted the words of both Typhon, and other members of the community, to meet his ends.  Typhon has not "done nothing" or "let time pass."  I personally have been at Typhon's side during his efforts to address issues, and he has done far from "nothing."  Similarly, those who do not wish to follow Clove's leadership are being shamed, bullied, and labeled as "lost" or "misguided" in an attempt to prevent the community from remaining intact under a different leader.

Typhon has offered times to meet, and Clove has chosen to ignore them to make things difficult on the community as a whole, shaming anyone who disagrees with him as "not caring."  Typhon has offered to discuss, and Clove has chosen to fight instead.  Clove is making the active choice to destabilize the Druid conclave of Travance, and is manipulating statements and facts to this end.  If Clove truly cared, he would make an effort to meet half way, and not insist on his way or no way.  These are the ways of an extremist, not a leader.

There will be no combat.  This is by decree as my role as a Knight Protector.  Anyone who assaults another will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the laws of Travance, and Koromyre.  Clove, you cannot pick and choose which laws of the community you will follow, any more than you can pick and choose which laws of nature you will follow.

None shall bring harm or attempt to bring harm to another, excepting in the virtue of defense.

Whosoever breaks with this law shall be fined between ten and twenty gold pieces, one half of which the Barony will remit to the victim. If the harm inflicted was grievous, then the convicted will additionally spend from one to three months in the dungeon and the victim shall be entitled to one belonging of the convicted. If the harm inflicted was mortal, then the convicted will be publicly executed, and the victim shall be entitled to one belonging of the convicted. If the victim of the crime is an Officer of the Barony or one who is of noble title, then the convicted will be publicly executed, will be stripped of all belongings, and upon the decision of the Baron may be exiled or obliterated. If the convicted has broken with this law before, then the convicted will be publicly executed, will be stripped of all belongings, and upon the decision of the Baron may be exiled or obliterated.

Typhon Scyldinga is a Squire of Kaladonia, and therefore of noble title.

If the challenge continues, it will be by non-combative means, and an agreed upon neutral party (i.e. - someone without ties to the druidic community) shall mediate the time, place, and nature of the challenge for the good of the community as a whole.

In service to the Land,
