Mage's Guild Meetings: July 1217

Cara,

Perhaps Tari was very busy dealing with very important issues when you messaged her. Or, perhaps she was intending to meet with you in person, and that didn't happen because of Travance' s chaotic nature.

Regardless, a letter to one person with a short reply shouldnt tarnish the idea of sending someone else a letter, just my thoughts.

The guild would welcome you, as many others have declared, but perhaps the notion that people should know you are a mage, that the guild should have tried harder to recruit you, or that you are simply interested in the organization for its information - is a bit, may I say, short sighted.

Many people in the guild share knowledge and ideas, and this helps us all be creative and come up with new ways of thinking, and new ways of using magic. We work on rituals together, and genuinely (for the most part) enjoy being an amicable group of peers willing to assist eachother with our endeavours.

I, for one, hope that you join and that others can learn from you, and you can learn from others. But, it would be appreciated if you were polite and amicable to its members.

I apologize if past interactions have colored your view on the guild, I hope that you meet more of us and that you see something worth being a part of.

If not, I will endeavour to keep you updated on anything relevant so that you at least have the information you seek.

I feel like there's been a disconnect, and perhaps it's in the lack of tone over writing.

I didn't expect anyone to try to recruit me. I never said I did. I had reached out to Tari, and she'd responded and that was it. I had no issues with letters, I simply prefer face to face interaction, and would prefer to talk to Morwenne in person, as I studied from her for a good period of time. In addition, I've taken part in several guild rituals and jobs, and am quite aware of what being in a guild entails.

I'm not sure where everyone seems to think I made any insults of anyone in your guild. I mentioned difficulty in tracking down Tari to talk, and that I had some less than favorable interactions and lessons with some of your masters in the past. If that's enough of an issue to call in the calvelry to attack me, and then get upset when I come to my own defense, maybe its best that I once again remove myself from interest in the guild.

Lest there be anymore cross-fire, I would prefer if everyone head to the bar for refreshment--and not Dragon's Breath. We've something more potent brewing here and it would be a shame if it grew any hotter.

This elitism is entirely unnecessary. The path of an Unguilded Mage is just as valid as a Guilded. Shall I not point to Lord Aleister Tartaros as an example? He has been just as instrumental in the protection of the Weave as the rest of us, while cooperating with the Guild from the outside. Likewise, Squire Cara Tartaros' position is just as valid and we need not discourage her in any form. Insulting those outside, and raising ourselves to some perceived importance, I cannot stand for it.

I came here to remind people that this invitation is extended to Magic Scholars, Bards, Wild Mages, and finally even those who are even as faintly interested in Magic to consider it a pipe dream to try learning. And that remains my purpose.

P.S. Good to see your penmanship, good Lebastion.

One minor case of arson and we will reach fourth. That is all I am saying. Nalick- Do not ruin this for me with your flowerlady talk!

Travance,

I have an idea. Mage Battles, arcane dueling. Cross wands and staffs. We have an Arena. I got 30 gold Rook takes Wren. Then Tari takes Rook 100 gold! Let's make it happen, where are you at promoters?

Burk, tell me YOU want to see mages beat each other silly with spells?

See? I'm bringing everyone together, I can't wait to learn more magic!
