Archived:Broken Covenant Summit

This page is Broken Covenant only, if you're looking for the Camp version of this page simply follow this link.

Hello all, and welcome to the official start of what I'm calling "Lilith's Letter", one of a series of "Campaigns" that I hope to introduce successfully over the coming months. Campaigns are effectively a series of story driven quests with a heavy emphasis put upon character choice, decision making, and input. Basically I will be presenting you with a situation, and it's up to you as characters to respond to it effectively. Although parts of this campaign are set in stone, I aim to make things as flexible as possible in order to make a fully interactive and dynamic experience that changes based upon your actions and decisions. Just to give you an idea of how flexible this entire thing is: I have no idea what the results of the following meeting will be, or what you all intend to do with the threat you're faced with. I will be taking your reactions, and then providing a response to them from the other side while, hopefully, serving to guide the conversation and discourse in a productive direction should it happen to get vastly off track. What your characters will be walking into, is a Broken Covenant Summit which is moderated by Heinrich Alten (Played by yours truly) but made up of the various Faction Leaders who make the executive decisions. Thus, anyone who owns one of these characters should take the following opportunity to put his or her best foot forward before the entire community and ensure that a productive meeting is held with haste and without significant disturbance.

The meeting will be structured as follows:

Faction Leaders and Lieutenants will have the time to prepare a statement to be singularly presented before the entire body. I urge users to make these cover the breadth of their argument and then use the later time to clarify and answer questions. Given that many users with Leaders are often inactive or hesitant to speak, I will allow each Leader with something to say to note his or her name below before we begin. Once everyone on the list has spoken, the floor will be open for Leaders and Lieutenants to discuss things in a more natural manner. Please treat speech in a similar manner to how you would during a Quest. Regular characters will be allowed to voice their opinions though only once, and after asking for permission to speak. This is to ensure that the meeting flows smoothly and takes as little time as is necessary to cover the topic at hand. If you don't have a leadership position, please remember that those that do have earned the position and have it for a reason. Your time to shine should come later.

Broken Covenant Summit:
Heinrich Alten: I have called you here this day, Leaders of our Broken Covenant, to discuss a matter that I believe has the potential to threaten our very existence. Although our organization was founded with a specific purpose in mind, or more accurately many purposes and a common goal, we have seen time and time again that our struggle is derailed by outside sources; forces other than those we sought to engage upon our formation. I understand well that our ideologies differ in nature, yet the eternal enemy always looms above. Now we may face another common foe, and so I would suggest we form a popular front in order to combat it most effectively. My suggestions, however, are null without your support. Make your decisions wisely, and we may prove victorious at long last.

Zoun: I believe this to be a trap. We should refrain from any commitment here before we can ascertain that this letter is genuine, and that it isn't an elaborate stunt to bring about another conflict between ourselves and the Camp before we are ready. We should instead perhaps send out a few scouts to find out more about this demigod, and to see what course of action the Camp will be taking. From there, we can make a more informed decision.

Anton: Brothers and sisters in cause! It is out of the deepest respect for our honored leader, Heinrich Alten, that I most strongly oppose the message he intends to spread. After all, we all make mistakes. Now, we all know why he founded the Broken Covenant, and set the stage for a shift in the balance of power which had reigned oppressively supreme for so long. We all know why we are here today; thanks to the combined efforts of our many members. Yet what we do not know, is the nature of what we supposedly oppose here today. Lilith is a powerful being, and we must remember that she forsook our ranks for those of the enemy. Who is to say that this letter is not a trick, a trap, or a ruse? Who is to say that she and others do not wait at the trail's end; waiting to halt our heroic efforts to defeat an impossible enemy? Who is to say that she is even sane? Brothers and sisters in cause, we must sit back and review the information we are faced with. Should the leaders of this Broken Covenant decide to face down this proposed foe, I will not deny them the necessity of our support. Yet, I believe that w e must approach this situation with the utmost skeptisism, while ever keeping the true struggle strong in our minds, hearts, and souls.

Alcaeus: I can't help but question the sanity of the source, from what I've been able to piece together on this "Lilith" character, is that over the years she has been far from sane. Honestly I'm shocked the gods have even let an anomally like her live. The very way she became a "demigod" is entirely blasphemous in and of itself. To me, true or not, this just reiterates our position against the gods, with threats like this continuously arising I can not help but be dumbfounded that we don't have more followers to our cause. I say we tread carefully and only if necessary, otherwise we are merely allowing ourselves to be tools to the gods once again.

Brennan: So we aren't going to fight? We're just going to sit here and do nothing while something that could threaten our very existance waltzs up? How is that brave or smart? How are we to depose the Gods when we can't even fight a fake demigod? Even those idiots of campers are willing to fight him! And if they think they can take him than we certainly can! If we don't fight we just prove how insignficant we are. We need to fight to prove that we can beat whatever comes at us!

Dante: He makes an excellent point. This Lilith is clearly out of her mind and has demonstrated it on several occasions. Her word couldn't possibly be trusted. Not to mention the filth at camp. Even they are no doubt hesitant to trust their "fearsome" ally. Perhaps we can use this hesitancy to say.....convince them that they'd need us to defeat this threat. Use them to help destroy it, them kill them all when they have their guard down.....Entirely theoretical, of course. *Grins evilly*

Alcaeus: Treading carefully is not the same as not acting Brennan, we would be fools to go off half cocked just on the word of some nutty demigod, we don't even know if we can trust, as she is siding with camp against the gods in general. I would be more apt to throw in support on an attack, if we gathered some intel of our own about this threat.

Brennan: Here's all the intel we need: Camps going to go fight him, and I'm not going to sit around while they get all the glory. Plus Lilith is telling the camp the same thing according to her letter! Why would she do that if it's not true? She's insane not stupid.

Alcaeus: Scoffs But of course Brennan because obviously if this were a trap, she would have just come out and told us that, and have we actually read this letter she sent to camp? Have you seen this letter with your own eyes? If you are that easily convinced of someone's so called "good" intentions, I'm shocked you of all people are even in the BC to begin with.

Brennan: Flushes in embarassment I-I just think it's fool hardy to sit around and do nothing!

Alcaeus: Which is why we need to be out there gathering intel, and formulating a plan of attack if the intel proves to be correct.

Zoun: Who would be the fool in this situation? The one who rushes off to fight a battle with no intel and no strategy on the words of an enemy, or the one who sits back and lets this threat, if it exists, slaughter their enemies for them?
