3. Sylvain's "Learning Book"

Sylvain's "Learning Book"

  • Q

    ((The following is a big tome Sylvain is ordered to fill with lessons he is learned as a squire, by Steelfin. For reference: The player behind the character Sylvain Enoic is Quibie))

    Neatly written

    You're not simply representing yourself, you represent your Order as well as your master, Steelfin.

    You should avoid dates with shovels.

    You should not be rude to people.

    You should not be rude to sir Steelfin.

    You should not smack the gates in sir Steelfin's face.

    You should not question sir Steelfin's existence.

    Jokes are only good sometimes, not always.

    Remember the cookie-lesson.

    Some people deserve respect purely for their position, not for whom they are.

    Always use "lady" or "sir", whichever is appropriate, when addressing someone from the Order.

    The following is written obviously in big haste, probably dictated. It contained several spelling mistakes which have been corrected by a different hand than Sylvain's, and the page is splotched with ink

    Love Tyr with all your heart and all your powers.
    Give aims to the poor as ye are able. Entertain strangers. Visit the sick. Be merciful to prisoners. Do ill to no man, nor consent unto such as do, for the receiver is as bad as the thief. Forgive as ye hope to be forgiven.

    Redeem the captive. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of the widow and the orphan. Render righteous judgement.
    Do not consent to any wrong. Persevere not in wrath. Shun excess in eating and drinking. Be humble and kind. Serve your order faithfully. Do not steal. Do not perjure yourself, nor let others do so. Envy, Hatred and Violence seperate people from the path of Tyr. Defend your Church and Order and promote her cause.

    ((I will add more to this journal as it comes in RP. Should you be a superior of Sylvain who has access to this book, at the time of writing this being Steelfin or Natanya, feel free to post in this thread any additions/corrections you make))
  • Q

    The above book is burned, and a wholly new one made. As of yet, all that he has written down anew are Jiyyd's laws, and the following

    - "Whenever dead certain of something, that's when you need to think again before doing so"

    _- Tyr er einhendr ass ok ulfs leifar ok hofa hilmir. Mars Tiggi.

    Tyr is a one-handed God, and leavings of the wolf and prince of temples._

  • Q

    Scribbled down in a somewhat annoyed handwriting

    Do not focus on just Jiyyd laws. Learn them -all- off the top of your head.

    Find man named Brannir, owe him 10 gold:

    It is illegal to mispronounce Peltarch's name inside city walls.


  • ((nice read. And remember, if Deacon starts talking about "ridin' the big waves"…run. Also, never, ever, try putting your arm around Ezachiel, no matter what he looks like at the time. Keep up the good work 🙂 ))

  • Q

    _This page is filled with all of Jiyyd's laws, even the most obscure ones, all neatly copied down, with the following circled:

    @c8ec5084be:

    By Order of the town Council, preaching, teaching or speaking the names
    of known Evil Gods shall NOT be permitted within the walls of Jiyyd. Those
    who do not heed this town ordinance shall be banned from the town of Jiyyd. NO EXCEPTIONS.

    Those who worship in silence and not within the walls of Jiyyd are still welcome to spend time here if you so choose, as long as you can obey the Ordinance. The Council will not address your concerns regarding
    this matter so do not attempt to seek council. Their is enough evil
    within the lands of Narfell and Jiyyd will not fall prey to those with evil
    intent.
    Our children will not be corrupted or influenced by such individuals.
    There are exceptions with regard to education but if you are a follower and believer to a God of evil intent, then your words are not welcome.

    Furthermore from this point on all Banites to be banned from town due
    to some of their factions attacks on our city._

    Next page has the following jotted down, obviously in a hurry*

    Gloomwort - Keeps you regular
    Fenweed - For healing, inflammation and temperature.


  • ((are there any lessons about calling Dwarves "Skip" repeatedly? Or from trying to enforce laws taht arent yours to enforce? 🙂

    Keep up the fun RP! ))

  • Q

    Inserted into the tome are many loose pages, all with drawings on them. Some are obviously practice, some are extensive attempts at capturing the objects or people. A practiced artist's eye would tell him that Sylvain has talent, but completely lacks practice. His skill is slowly improving, though
