Tarlomen's Gate
Wide enough for fifteen men abreast, the gates allowing access to the Tower
grounds are iron bound. The gilded Flames of Tar Valon set high up in the
thick timber have been polished to a shine that a Tinker would find
satisfactory. A cool river breeze wafts through the gate, making the trees
and bushes in the grounds to the north rustle and sway. The pale shaft of
the White Tower lies to the north, reaching a hundred spans into the air.

Before the White Tower
The White Tower looms to the north, rising over a hundred spans into the
sky. Trees and bushes, both short and tall, are sprinkled around the path
and throughout the Tower grounds. The path is covered by pieces of small
white gravel and bordered by white bricks. White steps, at least a pace
deep and slightly arched in the middle, lead up to the White Tower.

Passing the Water Garden
The path enters a thicket and the foliage of the trees shade the path from
the sky. Just beyond the foliage lies a series of ponds and waterways.
Lilypads bob up and down on the waters and water irises add splashes of
yellow and purple to the scene. Arching bridge of white stone cross the
ponds, lined with lacy stone railings.

lies in the center of the terrace. Grunts and groans can be heard from the
practice yards below where wooden weaponry meets the skin of warder
students under the watchful eye of Coulin, the Master of Arms.

Kendall says 'i would be with hammar and coulin if i wanted formal'

Alison nods in agreement.

emote relaxes somewhat, though his gaze remains a bit wary.
Ok.

Kendall says 'tell what made you want to apply'

Kendall says 'its not an easy process and most dont finish'

emote gives a relieved nod.
Ok.

You say 'Ah, that is an easy tale.'

You say 'I suppose the answer is - I did not know any better, and now I find my stubbornness carries me through.'

Kendall gets a dented tankard from a long wooden table.

Kendall sips from the tankard.

Alison eyes the tankard

Kendall places the tankard on the table

Alison holds her glass out to kendall

Kendall clambers to his feet.

Kendall gets a cask of fine Scotch with the word 'Bowmore' on one of the staves.

You say 'Young lads the world over hear tales of Tar Valon, and its Aes Sedai who can command the very elements themselves, and the brave and valorous Gaidin who protect and guard them always.'

Alison smiles happily.

Kendall gets a fizzy drink from a long wooden table.

You say 'The Light knows no greater champions and servants, we are told.'

Alison says 'Are you aware that it can span centuries, onduril?'

Kendall sits down on a bench.

You say 'Of course, there are other whispers as well, from those who are gossips and ne'er-do-wells.'

Alison gets a fizzy drink from a long wooden table.

Alison sips from the drink.

Alison drinks fizzling fizzy from a fizzy drink.

Kendall says 'this is stories and whispers'

Kendall says 'tales for children'

Kendall says 'i want to know the real reason'

Alison wrinkles her nose at the fizzy drink in her left hand.

You say 'Aye. But that is what put a gleam in my eye as a naive young boy.'

Kendall says 'you only apply if you have cause to'

Kendall nods in agreement.

Alison gently nods at Kendall as she listens as well.

You say 'Of course, as I have relayed to Lady Alison Sedai - the truth is not nearly so glamorous as it seems, though wondrous it can be at times.'

Kendall nods in agreement.

Alison sips from the drink.

You say 'In reality, I was a poor farm lad with no prospects. Yet in Tar Valon one can find purpose and meaning through hard work, to which I am no stranger.'

Alison nods in agreement.

You say 'I've found that is really what I desire - a purpose to dedicate myself to that is greater
than myself.'

You say 'You have a lot of time on a farm to consider such things. Most never travel more than a few leagues their entire lives.'

Kendall says 'so why gaidin, rather then tower guard, or the andoran guard or the borderlands?'

Kendall says 'you could argue their purpose daily is greater than ours'

Alison frowns.

You say 'I would respectfull disagree, Lord Kendall.'

You say 'Respectfully, rather.'

cough
Yuck, try to cover your mouth next time!

Eldrenia watching Onduril with a calm face.

You say 'It is true the Borderguards stand daily against the Blight and its insidious advance, or
that the Queen's Guard maintain the peace.'

You say 'Yet, the legends and tales are all consistent in one thing - it is the Aes Sedai who stand against the Shadow's greatest threats.'

Kendall nods in agreement.

You say 'Even a simple farm lad with not much in the way of education can piece that together, given enough time.'

Kendall says 'and the purpose of the gaidin? the real, base purpose?'

Alison holds up a small finger.

You say 'No Queen's Guard, and no Borderguard, will stand toe-to-toe with the Forsaken at the Last Battle.'

You say 'The Gaidin give their lives - literally if need be - that the Aes Sedai may carry out that
purpose: to hold back the Shadow, to stand against the Dark One himself.'

Eldrenia says 'May I ask a question?'

Kendall says 'please eldrenia'

Eldrenia says 'Why do you believe you had not prospects? Did your family not own land? Was there not the possibility to find a wife and start your own farm or take over your parents? Fight the shadow by providing food or supplies for the light?'

You say 'Well, my family was large and there were many mouths to feed, and we were quite poor. I am among the youngest, so there was no easy path available to me.'

You say 'Once, I cursed such luck that the Creator had in store for me. For a very long time
actually.'

Eldrenia says 'So, there were prospects, it would have just be hard work?'

Alison focuses on onduril

You say 'Yet, once one travels and begins to see the broader world, I realized that perhaps it was not a curse, but an opportunity to seek service of a higher calling.'

You say 'I will admit I did not set out from a farm to study with the Gaidin.'

Kendall clambers to his feet.

You say 'I knew I must venture into the wider world to find a place for myself, and so I did,
perhaps begrudingly at first.'

Kendall says 'summon relena garden'

Relena emerges from below.

Kendall bows before Relena.

Eldrenia curtseys before Relena.

Relena nods respectfully to you.

bow relena
You bow before her.

Relena greets Alison with a light kiss on her cheek.

Alison says 'Onduril, are you willing to lay down your life for my sisters?'

Alison greets Relena with a light kiss on her cheek.

You say 'Light's blessings, Aes Sedai.'

Eldrenia nods in agreement.

nod alison
You nod at her.

Eldrenia says 'Thank you for the clarification, Onduril.'

Alison says 'Use words, man. Are you?'

You say 'Indeed I am, Lady Alison Sedai. What is the life of a poor farm lad against those who hold back the Shadow? A more than fair trade, I think.'

You say 'One worth making any day.'

Alison says 'Trust me. We dont let our gaidin die. I like Detritus too much and respect his life
more than anything.'

Kendall says 'are you willing to disobey an aes sedai for her own protection? You do not need to answer that but we can chat seperately on it'

Eldrenia says 'But only a trade you can make once. A smart farm boy would be worth more than a brave one.'

Alison nods at Kendall.

nod eldrenia
You nod at her.

Kendall says 'these are things you need to condiser'

You say 'I've found that is true, m'lady. A dead hero is of no use to the living.'

Kendall says 'it is not as black and white as you may think'

nod kendall
You nod at him.

You say 'I think I understand your meaning, Lord Kendall. There are many colors in the Flame of Tar Valon, after all.'

Kendall says 'trust is something you will need'

You say 'Though, I admit the thought of disobeying an Aes Sedai seems quite a daunting one at the moment.'

emote glances nervously at the two women with ageless faces nearby.
Ok.

Kendall says 'commen the trust of others through actions and deeds'

Kendall says 'and give trust to those around you'

Alison looks into her drink glass.

Kendall says 'this is early in your apprenticeship so I understand your nervesness in present
company'

Kendall says 'but that will have to be dispelled during your apprenticeship'

Alison says 'i never advocate for disobedience, but when detritus says leave. i run fast than my horse wants me to.'

Kendall says 'sadly there is no room for it'

Alison nods in agreement.

Kendall says 'Gaidin obey everything from Aes Sedai until they dont'

Kendall says 'then the pendulum swings 100% in the other direction'

Kendall says 'but that pendulum requires 100% trust in the partnership'

You say 'Yes, I admit being around women working the One Power made me a bit uneasy when I first arrived here. It is one thing to hear of a thing, and another to see it yourself.'

You say 'But familiarity breeds comfort over time.'

Kendall says 'the bond makes it easier and deeper but must be learned without the insight of the bond'

Relena nods in agreement with Kendall.

emote nods at the Gaidin's words, pondering over each in turn.
Ok.

Kendall says 'I am giving you insight from a different perspective'

nod kendall
You nod at him.

Kendall says 'I believe you have the making of a great gaidin but you need to adjust your thinking'

Kendall says 'this with come with your training'

Alison says 'For us. Its like having someone in our heads that are stubborn beyond words.'

You say 'I appreciate the words, Lord Kendall. There are few Gaidin in Tar Valon as experienced or esteemed as yourself.'

Kendall nods at Alison.

Alison says 'Someone that will drag me from a fight even though i dont want to go.'

You say 'Well, fortunately I am stubborn as a stone.'

Kendall says 'I only got here because I had trust in those around me as much as trust in myself and Lady Hope sedai'

Relena arches an eyebrow.

Alison says 'Sometimes you will have to be the rational one in the bond. Our need to defend others is ... strong.'

nod alison
You nod at her.

Kendall says 'and these are not words that are spoken outwith these walls'

Alison nods in agreement.

Kendall says 'that is the trust we place in you right now'

You say 'I have seen the sisters of the Blue Ajah arguing in quite an impassioned manner with each other as they stroll by the practice yards.'

You say 'So I can believe it, Lady Alison Sedai.'

You say 'The urge to work towards justice and causes is strong, and not just in the Blue Ajah, I am told.'

Kendall says 'sometimes a story can as much benefit as actions without the necessary bloodshed'

Relena says 'We all work to defeat the Shadow in our own way.'

Kendall nods in agreement.

You say 'Aye, it was stories that brought me to Tar Valon in the first place, so I know the truth of the power of stories.'

Kendall says 'ominas is well respected even above many other gaidin'

Relena nods, bells jingling.

Kendall says 'so as his apprentice you will be more likely to held to a higher standard'

Kendall says 'this is a fact sadly'

Alison ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Kendall says 'it is also why ominas apprentices more often than not excell at being gaidin'

You say 'You are no stranger to hard work and toil on a farm. And in the Illian heat perhaps doubly so.'

You say 'Aye, I was greatly honored by Lord Ominas' offer of apprenticeship. I do not speculate on what he sees in me, but I am determined to live up to his standards.'

Kendall says 'as i said this is an informal chat but pushing the thoughts of what it means to be a gaidin and, taking it one step further, what it means to be a warder'

You say 'To have such a chance is a rare and valuable thing.'

Alison says 'I saw your deterinism.'

nod kendall
You nod at him.

Relena says 'I see you as well, Onduril.'

Kendall says 'I will say that I will endeavour to make myself available to you'

bow kendall
You bow before him.

Kendall says 'to aid you in your apprenticeship'

You say 'I am deeply honored, Lord Kendall.'

Alison says 'i offer to be around and help you kill spawn.'

Kendall says 'to give you the good the bad and even the ugly to allow you to progress'

You say 'To progress and learn inevitably requires opening your eyes to uncomfortable truths, I have found.'

Kendall says 'I will say though as difficult as it can be, there is fun to be had'

You say 'It is simpler to believe easy lies, like the Children, but that is not the path I have set
myself upon.'

Kendall says 'be wary of some of the gaidin'

Alison sighs loudly.

Kendall says 'some have some.....special requirements of their own'

Relena has an unreadable expression.

Alison says 'Some drink way too much kaf..'

Kendall says 'I should say no more'

Kendall says 'mainly because it will be fun for me to watch'

emote stares blankly, his face impassive.
Ok.

Kendall sends you and apologetic look

You say 'I am sure it will be an, ah, experience.'

Kendall says 'I may set you tasks here or there'

Kendall says 'small ones to keep you occupied'

Alison holds her growling stomach.

You say 'My sword-arm is yours, m'lord.'

Kendall says 'i will report back though on your progress'

Eldrenia says 'Please call on my, Onduril if you need assistance. Either support in battle or for a fireball.'

smile eldrenia
You smile at her.

Alison says 'Interesting few hours.'

Kendall says 'yes'

nod alison
You nod at her.

You say 'I have learned much, and have much more to ponder over.'

Alison says 'Seek out detritus as well'

Kendall says 'I will not take up anymore time of you or the Aes Sedai present'

Kendall nods in agreement.

You say 'I shall, Aes Sedai'

bow alison
You bow before her.

Kendall says 'I would recommend heavily making yourself known to any gaidin you see'

nod
You nod in agreement.

Kendall says 'everyone has a lesson to teach'

Alison says 'He knows his way around the borderlands. It is quite impressive for a man to know so much about places that are dangerous.'

You say 'I have spent the most time with Lord Ominas and Trakis Gaidin so far, but I have introduced myself briefly to a few others among the Gaidin.'

Kendall nods in agreement.

Relena says 'I will mention it to my two Gaidin'

Kendall bows before Relena.

bow relena
You bow before her.

Alison says 'Sister..'

Kendall says 'thank you'

You say 'I am honored, Relena Sedai'

Relena nods respectfully to you.

Relena beams a smile at Alison.

Alison says 'Two. How on earth is the bond in your head..'

Alison says 'nvm, i shall not want to know.'

Relena says 'Sometimes like juggling, honestly.'

Alison supresses a small shiver.

Alison says 'Detritus takes up enough of my time. Two will take time from logical thoughts.'

Kendall says 'you are free to wander the tower'

Kendall says 'i shall EXIT the tower myself for now'

Relena makes her way down to the Water Garden.
Alison makes her way down to the Water Garden.
Kendall makes his way down to the Water Garden.
Eldrenia makes her way down to the Water Garden.

emote casts one final look at the towers of Tar Valon, before adjusting his sword-belt and departing, brow furrowed in thought.
Ok.

I was truly hoping you all got drunk... But alas! Hopefully Lisennet’s hangover will be cured with a Qp - that Mistress Laras will no doubt beat out of her with a wooden spoon for being drunk to start with.

And Kendall’s first task for this poor, poor apprentice will be to have him lift his own Qp to a place of honor above his bed.

Thanks for posting.

I’ve been through Ken’s rooms two or three times now and love it every time, especially when he’s playing host. They are so much fun. The hidden cask is awesome.

Kendall is top dog for a reason, if anyone has ever wanted to make a Gaidin I suggest you study what he said in this and take notes. Best advice I’ve ever seen given and role played out phenomenally.

Great log. It’s a lot of fun seeing your rp evolve Onduril. Great work all. Thanks for this log and for those who participated. I read it twice

Shout out to Lis for the fun rp. It’s always cool to see players do things that might normally be out of character or maybe even risky.
