In commemoration of the Tenth Anniversary of the release of the Enchiridion Valentia, Lord Vathon Kel'Driss Faendryl the Basilican Summoner will be traveling from Ta'Faendryl to the Dark Elven Embassy in Ta'Illistim to meet with Sorcerers of all races. There he will be reading excerpts from the Enchiridion Valentia, holding commentary on demonic summoning, and teaching Sorcerers in attendance some uncommon runes! He may also distribute several copies of the Enchiridion to those in attendance!

This is the first of a six part series of events that takes place on the 25th day of Lormesta, 5113. The topic of this discussion will be Grik'Tyr.

---

OOC Note:

This is part 1 of 6, taking place January 25th, 2013. Other events will be occurring every other month, discussing each of the valences twice. Rune teachings offered during the event will be in relation to the valence of discussion, for example, you will not be able to learn a rune from Shien'Tyr during the Lorae'Tyr discussion. Rune teachings are limited to one uncommon rune per account for the year.

You're quite welcome. I'm looking forward to this, it should be a good time.

One thing I forgot to note is that a sorcerer can only know 5 uncommon runes at any one time. You should be able to RUNE FORGET one if you'd like to change one out when your preferred valence event occurs, I will double check on that.

>a really stern arm-folding with accompanying glare.

I'm pretty sure you meant, "a really stern arm-folding while giving them the evil eye."

<<How will the runes be distributed? I'd be tempted to "hold out" for certain runes, but wouldn't want to risk not getting one at all because I gave my chances for earlier ones. On the other hand, later runes would have a higher chance since a lot of sorcerers would be "eliminated" so to speak, from having already won.>>

Due to the caveat that we're doing 1 uncommon rune per account for the entire run, you can choose whichever you'd like. So, there will be two lectures about each valence, so hopefully you'll be able to attend the event of your preferred rune. If you show up for the Grik'Tyr lecture, you have the option of getting a teach from that valence. Show up, participate, you get a rune. There will be no spinning or raffles for runestones, however, as stated before 1 per account for the entire run. One thing to note, however, I was not able to secure lorae'tyr-abyran'sa as a teach for the Lorae'Tyr session. This has been deemed a special archetype to be won at special events. Out of my hands, but I do have a few other surprises so I hope you'll be happy with these events regardless!

Sounds like a fantastic event all the way around. One question: When we learn a rune, will we also have the ability to teach it? It seems like there could be some great opportunities for trading ahead.

Could it be the "dark ages" of sorcery are at long last drawing to an end? :)

PS: Thank you.

<<<However, as I stated above, there are some extra things involved that we haven't quite let on to that I'm sure players will really enjoy.>>>

I can't wait. I'm already feeling the love. Yummy warm demon-hugging eyeball-squishing limb-exploding sorcerer love.

Thank you.

Ok, Im not at all familiar with Ta'Illistim, can someone post directions to the Dark Elven Embassy because I would hate to miss these events, Ive tried for years to get an uncommon rune. Thanks in advance, you can AIM me at Trevalen02 if that helps, and I hope I was allowed to post that.

Excellent! Will definitely put in the rare appearance.

Good question. Is it the Faendryl Embassy?

<<Good question. Is it the Faendryl Embassy?>>

Yes, the Faendryl Embassy, thanks for catching that. They're one and the same to me ;) (sorry Dhe'nar)

<<If I want to learn a rune from one of the other planes, can I still attend the grik meeting without losing my ability to learn a rune at a later meeting?>>

Absolutely! You are more than welcome to come and attend the meeting and NOT learn a rune at all. I can't promise that you will leave empty handed, though. If you had your heart set on a shadowling, it is no reason to not come and enjoy some demon chat with your sorc pals, just means you have to wait a short while.

Is there a minimum level requirement to learn an uncommon rune?

This simply looks fascinating. Thanks for doing these!

My recollection with Wizards and the familiar Binding rune was that you could not learn the rune until you either A) knew the spell or B) were that level.

I would try to be level 25 if you desperately need the rune by the 25th. If thats not possible, then I am sure you could be 25 by March.

>I am 99% sure that I am able to teach you the rune. I tested it earlier, however, I will seek some additional confirmation as well.

Could you confirm whether you can teach the rune to a sorcerer who knows the spell but cannot yet cast it? Also, I was curious if you need to be able to cast the spell to draw a rune on a runestone. Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. For planning purposes, will the next events be for Lorae'tyr, then Shien'tyr, then a repeat of the three?

will other demon subtype runes be available (other than abyran'sa)? I've always liked the verlok'ar personally.

Did I mention how exciting this is? Not just the handing out of free teaches, I mean it is fantastic knowing I'll learn my first uncommon rune of the demon I'd prefer to summon, but the event in its entirety. Curious if non sorcerers are invited to attend, I'm sure a fair number of people that attended Inurtia's mentor event 3? months ago might want to attend these lectures as well.

I'm actually looking forward to the lecture almost as much as the rune teachings. I'm assuming there will be new info that we will never have heard before...and that's always exciting.

You may be assuming too much...

>You may be assuming too much...

make something up! :)
