RoleChapter 4 Inscrutable Equinox Added Tue Feb 28 19:50:09 2012 at level 10:It didn't take long from the split of the two elven races for the wood-elves to start to lose both their original purpose and their ancestral traditions. Even information that is valued enough to be passed from father to son can mutate over time as each generation adds and subtracts based on their own experiences. It is the most natural thing in the span of a society, and so it may be ironic that it was this process was the very thing a secret society of wood-elves formed to prevent.
Their purpose was twofold: first, work in secret to serve the turning of the great cycle of magic even when others had forgotten, and second, to preserve the ancient knowledge and traditions of the undivided elven race, including their histories and knowledge of bladesong and softer arts alike, but notably not including non-theoretical applications of magic.
In the first goal, they had mixed success over the ages. They were largely able to prevent wood-elves from taking up the arcane arts again. Enough mysterious deaths and freak building fires ensured that. On the other hand there were several big marks of shame on their record, such as the eventual establishment of wizard guilds in even the great city of Evermoon Hollow.
In the second goal they were as successful as anyone mortal could hope to be. They did not preserve what they sought to preserve flawlessly, but did so much better than other, less reactionary wood-elves. Still, they could not help but mold the traditions into their image slowly over the ages, and so it was that there came to be an order within the Equinox calling themselves the Knights of Winter who were strictly schooled in the ancient bladesong fighting style.
The Knights of Winter were, in theory, a force held in reserve for the last all- out war to wipe magic completely from Thera and turn the cycle to its lowest ebb. They never saw open action, because despite themselves the Inscrutable Equinox had picked up an unspoken third goal over the ages: Stay hidden and don't rock the boat any more than you have to.
This is the story of a prospective Knight of Winter without either the sense to understand that unspoken third goal or the patience to serve it.
