Hemalurgic Headshot

Nifty! Welcome to the Shard, and don't the cookies. Tai'shar Manetheren!

Welcome to the Shard! Great to have you here.

"Plans as big as a greatshell, in fact." Kaladin's parting words. Sareth could only wonder what sort of extreme regimen the Radiant had planned for the Initiates. Or perhaps, for the murder. Murder, one of the most grievous sins to the Truth. Unlike other terrible sins, this one does not have anything to do with lies or deceit. This is a category entirely different, for the robbing of another's life. To take another human being, who was once living and doing the same things every other human does, and take his or her life away from them and crush it, is abominable. Inexplicable. Unpardonable. It hurt Sareth's soul to think about it. And yet, the night before, someone had committed such an act. The gaudy noble, Lomot, had been killed, murdered. On a personal note, Sareth had no feelings towards Lomot, good or bad. However, he had died, and should be mourned. Everyone deserves that respect when they die. Sareth gazed into the sky, wherever Kaladin might be now. This... exercise has disrupted the natural sequence of mourning. He looked around at the other Initiates, spread out on the rooftop, in their tattered clothes and dirty faces. Some uniforms had ripped more than slightly. Much more than slightly. Many looked tired, so Sareth took the time to meditate before someone decided to break the ice.

Welcome to the Shard!

I will say that you can prove a Thug. You just have to kill them once (like me). And it wasn't a lurcher, because Meta puts the nature of the survival in the write up. You are fine to lynch me on other suspicions, though.

Highstorms have a strange feeling. A very intense feeling. The very air tenses before the storm hits, an invisible orchestra building a dramatic crescendo to the climax. Then the highstorm hits. The second before, you are standing straight. After, and you are bent backwards. The winds are unearthly, extreme, insane. And yet Sareth stood there, with the rest of the Initiates, braving the storm. The rain was like stone, each drop a pebble hurtled at excessive speeds. Sareth made a goal with himself, to stand completely straight. It was difficult, but there was a degree that one could lean into the wind that would enable him to stand straight. When Stormblessed, as they called him, returned, Sareth was standing straight. His uniform was in tatters, and he was battered. It was a good thing he had left his cloak in his room.

I think that this is the wrong place to put a theory. And by the way, welcome to the Shard!

Ha ha! Discussion is about the game, so if I say that Dustbringers should probably team up with a Truthwatcher or a Lightweaver to best target players to prevent killing Honorables. Also, @Amanuensis, to what extent do you support game decisions and RP intermingling? meaning, do you like it when game decisions match the character? Huzzah, now I have a nifty "discussion" post!

You ask why I chose you, Mage? Because my sketch-o-meter was beeping. Anyways, it was a gut read, so I guess you're right in saying I have no good reasons. I don't usually take the time for reasons.

I think a lot of the color dealings in Warbreaker are related to pigments. Pigments are additive color, meaning the more you add, the closer you get to black. On the other hand, light color is subtractive, meaning the more you add, the closer you get to white. Grey is weird, so that's why it is the middle default point. The greyest grey of all greys would be the grey of no color.

Okay! So I can reroute the bandwagon, just taking a slight detour, onto Mage!

Welcome to the Shard! As far as I know, there are no formatting requirements, as long as we can understand you. I think The Emperor's Soul is a great one to do a report on. A lot of topics to choose from. And good for you, Emperor's Soul is only a short story, short being a relative term.

What choice is there but to... bandwagon! Yes, with this limited time offer, you can vote for El for FREE! Yes, I said free, and if you order in the next sixty seconds, I'll even throw in a lifetime supply of chouta! So order now while supplies last!

Sharks and Minnows

Hmmm, that the Elims would target a known villager... is because they would not be able to get us to lynch him. New targets!

Sorry, I had to sleep, or else I would have relied earlier, @Drake Marshall. (No colors on mobile) Sareth nodded. "Yes, the key to happiness is the Truth, to find it and live its principles. That is why Truthseekers are very important, because they are the ones who bring the Truth to the people for the people's benefit. If a person could achieve complete understanding, but lose action? I am sure this would receive varying responses. An accurate way to describe this phenomenon is death. Once you die, you will no longer be able to act. This is obvious. However, with it you gain knowledge, by leaving the sphere of men and going into the sphere of spirits. Is this desirable? Perhaps. But I feel that there is so much to do in this sphere, to progress the lives of men and bring unity, that to pass up my life would be a poor trade."

Welcome to the Shard! I've said this so many times that it is now a preset on my keyboard.

Welcome to the Shard! Nice to see you here... don't eat the cookies. They will Ruin you.

Clothes

I guess I'll use the red for RP... Sareth shook his head, a slight motion. "I believe I have answered your question, but perhaps I said it in a confusing way. These ways of discerning the Truth have been practiced before, by the Truthseekers of old. These journeys, to observe the world and derive Truth from it. There was a Truthbringer, a very intelligent man, who used a mathematical formula to determine if something was the Truth. It was a very complex equation, but alas, the formula died with his passing. Some doubt whether this formula was effective, so most refrain from referencing his writings extensively. He was, however, the one to determine that patterns in nature are the Truth. I am particularist, in a way, referencing the works of former Truthseekers. But you must understand. The Truth is eternal, outside the sphere of men. We can do nothing to change it, only find it. That is why we are called the Truthseekers, to seek the Truth."

Politics

I had said that I thought Gamma was innocent. And no more PMs.

Another man approached Sareth, a man Sareth had not seen before, or perhaps he had been somewhere else. His name was Teresh. "That is a very profound question you ask, and because of that, I will give you a full answer. I am not the first Truthseeker, so I take from the teachings of the previous. The hundreds of combined years between them have created this," he pulled out his book,"and what they have found to be the Truth. I have read this many times, and the primary source of information is through traveling, searching the world for answers. However, there is not a whole consistency in the book, and those Truthseekers know that. I have had my own journey, and I will tell you that when I have found something, I will turn it over in my mind and compare it to the writings of the Truthseekers, and if it is right, then I will feel it. It is a feeling of completeness. Now, other Truthseekers who have intensely studied other religions as their journey have determined a prayer. However, I do not understand it, perhaps from the age of the document. I could give you a copy of the book, if you are truly interested."

Sareth cringed inwardly when he saw the pilfered spheres, painful memories uprooted, but he shoved the emotion down and calmly nodded. "The Truth, you ask? The Truth is the source of right in the universe; it is the stable foundation of all that is. That which is anchored in the Truth cannot be moved. The Truth... it provides meaning in life, a stable wall to lean on. Through its guidance, I have righted my life. Think of it like this: At the the creation of the universe, there was a code, or blueprint, used by the Creator. This is the Truth, the eternal rulebook that brings peace and meaning. If you look closely, you can see evidence of the Truth all around you. See the stars? Their infinity and radiance? That is the Truth evident. Have you ever looked closely at a flower, seen the radial symmetry of the petals and the spirals of the seeds? That is the Truth evident. But my friend, I cannot tell you that the Truth is a simple affair, one to be taken lightly. For there are ways to stray from the True Way and be condemned. Such is lies and deceit, the opposite of truth. To pretend to be something that you are not is a serious sin, for you attempt to fool the world. From my experience, they who lie are found out in time. Likewise, deal honestly with others, and do not steal," he glanced at the handful of broams, "and seek peace in conflict, and uplift others. If you do these things, you will begin to find an inner peace and fulfillment that you had not felt before. I have felt this." Sareth placed a calming hand on Araon's shoulder. "And I hope you will too."
