****************************************************

I have a bunch of RP logs saved from like 15-16 years ago, and considering I mastered Ranga in November or something, it might be fun to post his whole character arc.

Ranga was born the son of Child Ewiene Ellis'era and Ryvan Traofann. Raised in the tradition of the Children, but not entirely grasping it at four years old, he ventured north to see the witches in Tar Valon. Only then he saw the Tower and well... princesses do live in palaces.

I suspect the log is from Leria's pov.

==================================================

Tarlomen's Gate
[ obvious exits: N E S ]
A young woman is here thinking to herself.
A quiet servant awaits instructions from his master.
A middle-aged officer is here controlling his subordinates.
A guard stands here monitoring the people entering the Tower grounds.

An Accepted leaves east.
Tower Square
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.
An elaborately sculpted marble fountain splashes merrily.
Ranga Traofann, son of Ryvan and Ewiene is standing here, riding a warhorse.

You curtsey to your audience.

Ranga giggles.

You gently fill a water skin from an elaborately sculpted fountain.

You say 'Hello, little man'

Ranga says 'Hello lady'

You ruffle Ranga's hair playfully.

You say 'How are you today?'

Ranga sniffs sadly.


Ranga tries to comb his tangled hair.

Ranga tries to comb his tangled hair.

Ranga combs his hair, what a dashing specimen!

Ranga smiles happily.

Ranga says 'I'm on a visit!'

Ranga nods to himself, he must need reassurance.

Ranga says 'I wanted to see what the Ogier did with my own eyes.'

Ranga waves around him.

You nod in agreement.

You say 'It's quite spectacular, isn't it?'

Ranga says 'Pretty city. I like the shapes of the buildings.'

You nod in agreement.

You say 'The ones that look like waves are MY favorites.'

Rycia kneels down beside you to talk with you.

Ranga says 'I saw one that looked like a FISH!'

You say 'Which ones do you like?'

Ranga says 'The animal ones!'

Rycia smiles happily, a dimple showing.

Ranga says 'I'd show you my puppy, but he's still at home.'

Ranga pouts.

You say 'The animal ones are pretty too.'

Ranga cranes his neck to look at the Tower.

You say 'You have a puppy? What's his name?'

Ranga says 'Spot.'

Ranga grins mischievously.

Rycia looks around for any grown-up who night be in charge of you.

Ranga blushes.
Ranga says 'shhh!'

Ranga says 'I'm here alone.'

Ranga says 'Don't tell THEM!'

Ranga cringes away from the women with odd faces.

You say 'Who? Your parents?'

Ranga shakes his head.

Ranga says 'Those wi... women.'

You say 'Who?'

Ranga corrects himself quickly.

Aeldin has arrived from the south.

The sun sets.

Rycia looks around puzzledly

Aeldin says 'greetings all'

Ranga says 'Hello mister.'

Rycia stands and curtseys to Aeldinn

Aeldin bows before you.

Rycia puts her hand on Ranga's shoulder and smiles down at him.

Aeldin says 'how goes it this day?'

Aeldin looks at Ranga.

Ranga says 'I'm visiting this city!'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

You say 'Just fine. This is my new friend.'

Ranga bounces around excitedly.

You say 'His name is...'


Rycia looks at Ranga, waiting for him to give her his name.

Ranga says 'Ranga.'

The night has begun.

Ranga bows clumsily.

You nod in agreement.

Aeldin says 'hmm Ryvan's son eh?'

You say 'And I am Rycia, Ranga'

Ranga nods fervently.

You say 'Ryvan?'

Ranga says 'Hello Rycia!'

Ranga says 'Ryvan is my daddyyyyyy!'

Rycia smiles happily, a dimple showing.

Aeldin says 'do you carry your father's....biases?'

The warder has arrived from the south.

Aeldin ponders life, the universe, and everything.

You say 'Aeldin!'

Ranga looks around shyly.

Ranga says 'What's a bias?'

You say 'He's only a child.'

Ranga says 'Are biases candy?'

You shake your head.

Ranga says 'I like candy.'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

The fountain splashes merrily, light sparkling beautifully on the surface of the water.

Aeldin says 'your father doesn't tend to like the Tower all that much'

You say 'No, Ranga, they're something grownups get. Like a disease.'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga shivers uncomfortably.

Ranga says 'A disease?'

Ranga twists his mouth.

You nod in agreement.

Ranga says 'I had the flu once.'

Ranga sniffs sadly.

Aedomira has arrived from the north.
Gahris has arrived from the north.

Ranga says 'Had to stay in while all the others played.'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

You say 'They are sort of like a disease.'

Ranga sniffs sadly.

You nod in agreement.

You pat Ranga on his head.

Gahris nods in agreement.

Aedomira says 'You again!'

Aeldin says 'so do you plan to join the amadacian army as well'

Gahris looks at Ranga.

Aedomira peers closely at you. Guard your secrets carefully...

Aeldin says 'hello'

You say 'I found this little one alone in the Square. I couldn't leave him'

Aedomira wonders if Rycia even needs sleep.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Aeldin bows before Aedomira.

You chuckle politely.

You say 'Yes, I do.'

Ranga says 'No, not the army. I want a pretty white cloak like my mother though.'

Ranga says 'I like white.'

Aedomira beams a smile at Aeldin.
Ranga looks at you.

Aeldin strokes his chin thoughtfully.

Ranga says 'You've got a pretty white dress.'

Ranga smiles at you.

Gahris peers closely at Ranga, trying to figure him out.

Gahris says 'white cloak?'

Gahris mutters to himself in complete disgust.

You say 'Like my dress and Aedomira's here?'

Ranga nods fervently.

Ranga says 'My cloak is dark.'

Ranga spits out a disgusted 'bah!'

Gahris says 'why would you want to fashion your self after murderers'

Aeldin says 'white cloak aspriant in Tv square...interesting'

Rycia points to the other lady

Aedomira looks at Ranga.

Aeldin says 'but there is still hope for you by showing up i suppose'

Ranga shifts his attention to Aedomira.

You say 'Gahris, He's only a child.'

Ranga says 'Oh! Another pretty dress.'

You say 'He's Ryvan's and Ewiene's son.'

Ranga says 'I'm a boy. I can't wear dresses.'

Gahris says 'a misguided child'

Ranga sniffs sadly.

You say 'He came to see what the Ogier built'

The warder leaves west.

Ranga nods quickly.

Ranga says 'I like the animal buildings best.'

Aeldin says 'perhaps he could be suaded to better pursuits....'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga smiles brightly.

Aedomira says 'I hope you remember to pull down the hood of your dark cloak when you enter Fal Dara, Ranga. They might confuse your intentions...'

You say 'He only knows what he's been taught. This is our chance to change those thoughts.'

Aeldin says 'very true Sister...'

Ranga says 'I won't go to Fal Dara. I don't want to run into ugly mean trollocs.'

Ranga shivers uncomfortably.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

You comfort him.

Gahris grins evilly.

Gahris says 'ugly yes'

Gahris says 'mean yes'

Gahris says 'but they die easly'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Gahris draws a curved clear dagger from a dark, hooded cloak with a flash of steel.

Aeldin claps Gahris on the back.

Aeldin sheathes a pale steel longsword into a sword sheath.

Ranga eyes his sword with regret.

Gahris says 'killed a few in my day'

Ranga says 'Not with my sword.'

Ranga says 'It's fake. Toy sword.'

Gahris says 'they aint to bright'

Aeldin looks at Ranga.

Ranga bursts into tears.

Gahris looks at Ranga.

Aeldin says 'anyone ahppen to have an oilstone handy...speaking of trollocs'

Adaire smiles happily.

You say 'Well some day perhaps you'll have one when you are older'

Gahris looks at Aeldin.

Ranga sniffles.

Aedomira says 'Let's go, Gahris?'

Gahris nods in agreement.

Aedomira waves.

Aeldin waves.

You say 'And maybe then you and I will hunt them together.'

Ranga says 'Older. Takes so long to get older though.'

Ranga pouts.

Aeldin says 'well ranga want to go hunting a bit?'

Aeldin says 'i'll show you some giants'

Ranga says 'Giants?'

Ranga says 'Are those taller than Ogier?'

Aeldin says 'sure... ever seen one before?'

Ranga says 'I've SEEN Ogier you know.'
Aeldin says 'much taller'

Aeldin says 'really, you know I never have'

Ranga says 'Will they eat me, like trollocs?'

Aeldin says 'yeah, but i'll be there'

Ranga says decisively 'I don't want to be eaten. I'll stay safe in the city.'

Aeldin says 'he'll be to busy to worry about eating'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga says 'Do giants have candy?'

Aeldin says 'hmm, I don't think they do'

You say 'None that I ever saw did.'

Aeldin says 'well I'm off too wander some more'

You say 'Ranga, the other lady told me that Aeldin is very nice and I'm sure he'll look after you.'

Aeldin says 'Is Zarina about?'

Ranga sniffs sadly.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

The fountain splashes merrily, light sparkling beautifully on the surface of the water.

Aeldin says 'well thats a nice change of pace'

Rycia bends over the fountain to drink

Ranga says 'That building is really tall.'

Ranga topples over as he tries to crane his neck.

Aeldin cranes his neck

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Rycia takes a few steps back and stares up at it.

Aeldin says 'Ranga, is that a real oilstone you have there?'
Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga nods in agreement.

Ranga says 'I found it along the road.'

Aeldin says 'might i borrow it for a moment?'

Ranga stops using an oilstone.

You say 'yes, it is a big building. I guess when you live there, you forget how big it is'

Ranga gives an oilstone to Aeldin.

Aeldin grabs an oilstone.

Ranga says 'You LIVE there?!'

Aeldin draws a pale steel longsword from a sword sheath with a flash of steel.

Ranga gasps in astonishment.

You nod in agreement.

You say ‘Of course I do.’

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Aeldin stops using a pale steel longsword.

Aeldin sits down.
Aeldin begins mending a pale steel longsword.

Ranga says 'It doesn't belong to a King or Queen?'

You shake your head.

Ranga says 'Oh! I know! You're a prinsess!'

Aeldin is finished mending a pale steel longsword.

Aeldin clambers to his feet.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

You chuckle politely.

Ranga practices his bow.

Aeldin stops using an oilstone.

You say 'No, no princess would have spent the last 4 hours doing dishes'

Aeldin gives an oilstone to Ranga.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga says 'Ugh, I hate doing dishes.'

You nod in agreement.

You say 'Me too!'

Ranga says 'Too many Uncles and Aunties and they all make dishes dirty.'

Ranga sniffs sadly.

You giggle.

Aeldin takes Rycia's hand

You say 'We have Gaidin that make dirty dishes'

Aeldin says 'it's not even close to dish pan hands'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Your cheeks are burning.

Ranga stumbles over the word 'Gai...din?'

Rycia smiles shyly at Aeldin.

You nod in agreement.

Aeldin sighs loudly.

Aeldin says 'I'm trying to join the Gaiden'

You say 'They are the people that protect the ladies who live in the Tower.'

Ranga boggles at the thought.

Aeldin says 'they are really tough, ranga, perhaps the best warriors in the land'

Ranga says 'Is this city unsafe, that they need help?'

Ranga peers around.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga grabs his bag of candy tightly.

You say 'No, but some people want to hurt those ladies.'

Ranga shakes a fist at imaginary cutpurses and potential candy stealers.
You say 'And the Gaidin are the ones who protect them.'

Aeldin says 'they sometimes need our help Ranga, but not often.....usually the other way around'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga says 'Wow! I wish I had someone to protect me. I'd... I'd... '

Ranga strokes his chin thoughtfully.

You say 'What would you do?'

Ranga says 'I'd go rob a candy store!'

Rycia gets a very disapproving look on her face.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga says 'Mmm, stealing is bad though.'

Ranga ponders life, the universe, and everything.

You say 'Stealing is very VERY bad.'

Aeldin ponders life, the universe, and everything.

You scold Ranga.

Aeldin says 'yes ranga, don't steal'

Ranga says 'Oh oh oh! I know! I'd hunt bandits, take their money and then buy lots of candy!'

Ranga nods to himself, he must need reassurance.

You giggle.

You say 'I suppose that you could do that.'

Ranga grins mischievously.

Ranga licks his mouth and smiles.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga mouths the word 'candy'.

Aeldin falls down laughing.

Aeldin pats Ranga on his head.

You say 'So your Uncles and Aunties, do they know where you are?'


Ranga says 'Do you have one of those guyding to protect you?'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

You shake your head.

Aeldin says 'i would bet not'

You say 'No, not one that is mine in particular.'

Ranga says 'Can I be yours?'

Ranga hops around like a bunny.

You say 'But any of the Gaidin would protect me.'

Ranga says 'I'll poke my sword in any thief's eye!'

Aeldin says 'i saw his father earlier, he is quite the warrior'

You say 'Well, then, perhaps you could grow up and be my Gaidin, Ranga.'

Ranga kicks a pebble angrily.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga says 'Everyone always thinks I have to grow up.'

You say 'But that's a ways away I know'

Ranga says 'I'm THIS tall already.'

Ranga gestures to his head.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

You say 'I can see that.'

Ranga nods gruffly.

You say 'But I think you have to be a little taller'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga stamps his foot in frustration.

You say 'And anyway, wouldn't your mother and father miss you?'

Ranga says 'My father is teaching some...people.'

Ranga says 'I snuck out of the Fortress.'

Ranga grins mischievously.

Aeldin says 'so is your Father still the Captain of the Amadacian Army?'

You say 'The Fortress?'

Aeldin says 'the fortress?'

Rycia nods understandingly at Aeldin.

Ranga says 'Captain? No, my daddy rides horses, doesn't sail ships.'

Ranga says 'But yes! I live in the Fortress.'

Ranga says 'Had to leave my puppy there.'

You say 'The Fortress of Light. In Amador.'

Ranga sniffs sadly.

Aeldin says 'the Amadacian fortress'

You say 'yes, Spot, right?'

Ranga says 'Yes, Spot!'

Aeldin says 'run Spot!'

Ranga says 'He's got a black blotch over his eye.'

Ranga says 'But Uncle Anor took a look at him and said that he walks in the Light so I could keep him.'

Ranga smiles happily.

Aeldin says 'Anor is your Uncle!'

Aeldin groans loudly.

Ranga says 'Yes, and I have Aunties too!'

Aeldin says 'who might they be?'

say Anor?You say 'Anor?'

You say 'HAND Anor?'

Ranga rattles down a list 'Auntie Jadia, Auntie Roxy, Auntie Leeda.'

Aeldin tells you 'isn't he Tower wanted?'

Ranga says 'No, UNCLE Anor.'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Rycia nods slowly, thinking over all the political ramifications

Aeldin chuckles politely.

You nod at him.

Aeldin says 'should i return him to his home?'

A mirrored lantern held by Ranga begins to dim a little.

You say 'And you say you came here without telling anyone where you were going?'

Aeldin says 'before there is open war declared'

Ranga says 'Well, I -did- say to my daddy I wanted to see Tar Valon.'

You say 'And what did he say?'

Ranga shuffles his feet shyly.

Ranga says 'That he'd take me there someday, but he's always busy!'

You say 'I'll bet is was "No", wasn't it?'

You nod in agreement.

Aeldin sighs loudly.

Ranga says 'He told me he'd show me the witches, but I haven't seen any yet.'

Aeldin falls down laughing.

You say 'What do witches look like, Ranga?'

Aeldin clears his throat, galncing at Rycia

Ranga says 'They're big and mean and scary and evil.'

Ranga says 'They are darkfriends you know.'

Ranga nods to himself, he must need reassurance.

You say 'And that's what your daddy and mommy told you?'

Ranga says 'And my Uncles and my Aunties.'

Ranga says 'Oh, and the soldiers in the army too.'

You nod in agreement.

You say 'I'm sure they did.'

l
You roll your eyes.

Trint has arrived from the west.
Aerdrynn has arrived from the west, riding a gray palfrey.

Aerdrynn curtseys before you.

You say 'Ranga, are any of your relatives awake right now?'

Ranga says 'I think my daddy might be.'

You say 'Hello, Novice.'

Trint beams a smile at Aerdrynn.

Aerdrynn says 'accepted, greetings'

Ranga says 'Oh, and Uncle Mushu and Uncle Lochaber.'

Ranga says 'I like Uncle Lochaber.'

Ranga says 'He's teaching me to count.'

Aeldin says 'I'm sure he is'

You say 'Mushu and Lochaber'

Rycia shivers uncomfortably.

You say 'Aren't they the ones that are always wanting to hang people?'

Aerdrynn says 'whitecloaks arent they accepted? The names are familiar....'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga says 'I drew a sunburst on mine once.'

Aerdrynn frowns.

Ranga says 'But I had to take it off.'

Ranga bursts into tears.

Trint says 'That's a dangerous thing to say around here, , ,'
Trint chuckles politely.

Aerdrynn nods in agreement.

Aerdrynn sits down and rests.

Ranga says 'Had done it nicely too, with yellow crayons.'

Ranga sniffs sadly.

Aerdrynn chuckles politely.

Trint points his finger at Ranga and laughs obnoxiously.

Aeldin says 'at least it wasn't and hand and shepherd's crook'

Aerdrynn nods in agreement.

You say 'He's only a little boy.'

Trint nods in agreement.

Aerdrynn ruffles Ranga's hair playfully.

You say 'He's Ryvan and Ewiene's son.'

Trint says 'Ahh I see. . .'

Aerdrynn says 'he needs better examples than uncle lochaber though....'

Ranga says 'Oh I was going to tell you how he teaches me to count.'

Ranga strokes his chin thoughtfully.

Aeldin says 'how is that?'

You say 'Please do.'

Ranga says 'If you have two witches, and you hang one... how many are left?'

Rycia sits down on the gorund with you and listens.

Ranga nods to himself, he must need reassurance.

You sit down and rest your tired bones.

Aerdrynn glares at Ranga.

Ranga says 'I know the answer too!'

Trint waves.

Nyamh falls down laughing.
Ranga says 'ONE!'

Aeldin sighs loudly.

Aerdrynn says 'charming....'

Aerdrynn shakes her head.

You nod in agreement.

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga can count!

You say 'Indeed. It sounds JUST like your Uncle Lochaber'

Trint says 'Take care all. . .I believe now is the proper time for me to take my leave.'

Trint leaves south.

Nyamh leaves north.

Ranga smiles happily.

Aeldin whispers to you, 'hold him up here, or take him home?'

Aerdrynn says 'i have a riddle for you ranga:how many whitecloaks fit in a sack?'

Ranga says 'errr...'

You say 'Novice...'

Ranga says 'One?'

Aerdrynn says 'depends how finely you chop them.'

Aeldin falls down laughing.

Ranga bursts into tears.

You say 'We are not Whitecloaks nor will we stoop to their level.'

Aerdrynn says 'sorry accepted'

Aerdrynn blushes.

You glare icily at her.

Ranga shakes a fist at Aerdrynn.

You comfort him.


Ranga says 'No chopping up my Uncles and Aunties!'

Aerdrynn says 'sorry ranga, that was uncalled for....'

Ranga sobs uncontrollably.

You say 'Ranga. Ranga, I won't let her hurt your family.'

Aeldin stretches out and smokes his pipe

Aerdrynn gets a large number of gold crowns from a sack.

Rycia smiles happily at Aeldin, a dimple showing.

Ranga sniffles and grabs a handkerchief to wipe his nose.

Aerdrynn gives some coins to Ranga.

Aeldin smiles at you.

Aerdrynn puts some coins in a sack.

Ranga says 'Oh! Money for CANDY!'

Ranga dances for the sheer joy of it.

Aerdrynn says 'buy some sweets ranga'

Ranga nods fervently.

Rycia takes the handkercheif and dries Ranga's eyes.

Ranga says 'I've never seen white sweets. I like white.'

Ranga says 'Always red ones.'

Aeldin whispers to you, 'wisest thing might be to leave him be, huh?'

You whisper to Aeldin 'The other lady was right. You ARE nice.'

Aerdrynn says 'i am sorry accepted, i was totally out of line there...'

Aeldin blushes.

Aerdrynn sighs loudly.

Aeldin isn't sure what to say

You say 'Now Ranga, we need to get you back home.'

Ranga says 'But I haven't seen a witch yet!'

Ranga is appalled at the suggestion.
Aerdrynn says 'no witches here ranga'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Aerdrynn shakes her head.

You nod at her.

Ranga sniffs sadly.

Aerdrynn pats Ranga on his head.

Aeldin says 'sorry ranga, the only real witches are in the Blight'

You say 'Ranga, I think that your daddy has some of those biases we were talking about earlier.'

Ranga says 'ugh!'

Ranga says 'Those things that weren't candy, but like a...disease?'

You nod at him.

Ranga remembers that!

You say 'Exactly right. Those things.'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Aerdrynn ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Ranga says 'People shouldn't use big words with me, I'm just small.'

Ranga says 'But big enough to be a guyding.'

Ranga nods to himself, he must need reassurance.

You say 'Sometimes people think things about others that aren't true.'

Ranga ponders that for a moment.

You say 'Ranga, if you want...'

You say 'After we've gotten you home and you get taller…'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Aerdrynn grins evilly.

You say 'If you want to be a Gaidin then, you come back and see me.'

Ranga mumbles something almost inaudible.

Aerdrynn arches an eyebrow.
Ranga says 'Oh I will, I will!'

Aerdrynn says 'dont mumble either ranga, it's rude'

You say 'What was that? I couldn't hear you.'

Ranga says 'Always that thing with being taller.'

Ranga rolls his eyes and mutters a heart felt 'Bah!'

You chuckle politely.

Ranga kicks a pebble angrily.

You say 'But ranga, you have to be as tall as me so that you can protect me from things that might fly at me.'

Aeldin whispers to you, 'should we inform Ryvan, I don't think he's nearly as biased as the whitecloaks'

Ranga says 'Not Uncle Clovin.'

Ranga cringes in terror!

Alathe nods in agreement.

Aerdrynn says 'a fine family accepted from what i understand.....'

Aerdrynn chuckles politely.

You give a strange fruit to Ranga.

Ranga says 'He's such a sweet uncle, when I was younger I used to play with his dangly necklace.'

Ranga blushes.

You say 'Oh, the one made up of fingers?'

You say 'Here's something for later then.'

Ranga says 'Or so my mother says.'


Aeldin chuckles politely.

Ranga thanks you heartily.

Aeldin claps Ranga on the back.

Ranga nibbles on your ear.

Alathe says in a calm, composed voice, 'I have a feeling...'

Aeldin falls down laughing.

Alathe sighs loudly.

Clovin has arrived from the south, riding a warhorse.

Ranga OOC OOPS

Aerdrynn grins evilly.

You peer closely at him, trying to figure him out.

Ranga tastes a little bit of a strange fruit.

Ranga slaps himself, really strange...

Alathe clicks her tongue irritably.

You say 'It's a good thing your Uncle didn't see that.'

Ranga turns a deep deep crimson.

Clovin sits down and rests.

Ranga says 'Who's that on that fountain?'

Alathe says in a calm, composed voice, 'That is Bell Sedai.'

You nod in agreement.

Ranga says 'Stupid last name.'

Alathe says in a calm, composed voice, 'She was a Yellow Siiter. Unfortunately, I have never met her.'

Ranga says 'I have a much prettier one.'

Aerdrynn winces

Aeldin shakes his head.

Alathe frowns.
You say 'That's not her last name. That is her title.'

Ranga says 'Oh.'

You say 'She was an Aes Sedai before the sickness took her.'

Ranga says 'Uncle Clovin, did you know there's princesses who live in that tall Tower building?'

Aeldin chuckles politely.

Alathe smiles softly.

You chuckle politely.

Aeldin pulls out his pipe and satchel

Aeldin stretches out and smokes his pipe

Aerdrynn chuckles politely.

You say 'No, Ranga, we are not princesses.'

Aeldin says 'this should be good'

Alathe says in a calm, composed voice, 'The Daughter-Heir Elayne is a Novice is the Tower.'

Ranga says 'Not?'

You nod at her.

Alathe says in a calm, composed voice, 'She is the only princess, however.'

Ranga bursts into tears.

You say 'But here she is just another Novice.'

Aerdrynn nods in agreement.

Alathe nods at you.

Clovin stops resting, and clambers on his feet.

Aerdrynn says 'all are equal in the tower ranga'

Alathe says in a calm, composed voice, 'Outside status means nothing, in the Tower.'

Ranga says 'And I... thought I was talking to... PRINCESSES!'

You giggle.

Alathe chuckles politely.

You say 'Ranga, I told you we weren't princesses.'

Ranga knew there couldn't be that many princesses.

Aeldin says 'hmmm, I don't know what that says about me... the Princesses and all'

Aerdrynn chuckles politely.

Alathe chuckles politely.

Clovin softly says 'ranga you have till the count of 3 to get out of this city and get your ass home before i stop being so nice'

You say 'Clovin, if you would like I'll walk ranga to the gate'

Alathe weaves her hands, creating a hearty meal in the process.

Alathe sits down and rests.

Alathe eats a strange fruit.

Ranga says 'yes Uncle Clovin.'

You say 'If Aeldin would be so kind as to accompany me.'

Clovin softly says 'stay out of this'

Aeldin starts following you.

You arch an eyebrow.

Clovin softly says 'ranga, your not running yet...'

Alathe frowns.

Clovin softly says '1'

You say 'ranga'

Aerdrynn stops resting, and clambers on her feet.

Clovin softly says '2'

Ranga says 'Excuse me, before my uncle kills me.'

Ranga bows deeply.

Alathe stops resting, and clambers on her feet.

Ranga leaves west riding a warhorse.

Clovin softly says '3'

Ranga nods in agreement.

You say 'You can always come back to talk with me'

Aeldin says 'anytime buddy'

Sunburst Courtyard.
A fountain carefully crafted of marble and gold, sits at the centre of this
courtyard, offering water for all. Slate slabs and granite pieces form a
intricate pattern on the ground around the fountain. There are seating on the
southern end of this room, made from a dark-wood of some sort. Twin pillars
supporting a curved-top doorway mark the exit to this courtyard to the north.

em points to the fountain edge
Ranga sits down.
You say 'Well?'
Ryvan says 'Have you eaten yet boy?'
Ranga bursts out 'I only wanted to see the Ogier buildings!'
Ryvan says 'Might be your last meal with the mood youve created.'
You say 'It never occured to you to ask for permisson?'
Ranga says poutily 'I had some scraps last night.'
Ryvan gives a cinnamon pastry to Ranga.
You say 'Or to go see a Ogier building closer by?'
Ryvan says 'Best enjoy that.'
Ranga says 'I did say I wanted to go and see the buildings and daddy said he'd take me.'
Ranga says 'But he was always busy!'
You say 'As it is, your fater was out saving Ogier's last night'
Ryvan says 'Thats the life a soldier lives.'
Ryvan says 'When I had the time, I would have shown you.'
You say 'You would have had one huge pile of smoking ruins to come home to, had we not been out to the Steddings last night'
Ranga mumbles something about the Ogier in Stedding Mardoon.
Ryvan says 'And I could have point out the witched too!'

You say 'As it is, you first off entered Tar Valon'
Ryvan spits over his shoulder.
You say 'Then you enter the tainted Tower grounds?!'
Ryvan says 'Full of flaming witches!'
You say 'Then you go talking to witches?'
Ranga says 'I've never been to the Tower!'
Ryvan says 'And being nice?!?'
You say 'And promise yourself away to Gaidin?'
Ranga says 'I sat in the square!'
Ryvan mutters to himself in complete disgust.
Ranga says 'Guyding protect the princesses!'
Ryvan says 'We have taught you better than this.'

You say 'those are not princesses'
You say 'those are darkfriends'
Ranga says 'They are?'
You nod in agreement.
Ryvan says 'Those princesses are the witches who steal little boys candies.'
Ryvan says 'And who will no doubt now curse your puppy.'
Ranga frowns.
You say 'Sweetie'
You say 'You know how in regular tales'
You say 'The frog always becomes a prince?'
Ryvan paces back and forth angrily.
You say 'Well, witches are the other way around'
Ranga gasps in astonishment.
Ryvan says 'Well, in this story, the frog turns into a bloody trolloc!'
You say 'They might look like princesses, but they are ugly as frogs on the inside'
You say 'Dark and tainted'
Ranga says 'THOSE were witches?!'
You nod in agreement.
Ranga starts moaning.
You say 'If they were ugly, how would anyone ever fall for their tricks?'
Ryvan says 'Those foul things who touched you, possibly tainted you somehow, were witches.'

You say 'And on a second note'
Ryvan says 'Did they do you any harm boy?'
Ranga lets out a disgusted 'Ugh!'
You say 'We know about Rycia's letter to you'
Ryvan says 'Aye! I intercepted that letter. Thank the Light!'
Ranga says 'What letter?'
You say 'There will absolutely not be a "next time" or any entering the Tower'
say You say 'In this town, if you write "R.Traofann" on something'
You say 'It end up in the hands of your father' [ooc: Yeah, heh. She actually mailed the wrong person...]
You say 'Thank the Light!'
Ranga says 'I never went into the tower, I thought it was the Queen's'
Ryvan says 'The only time you shall enter that den of darkfriends again is if you follow an army spreading the Light to it.'

You say 'Well, to sort all this out since me and your father are quite upset'
You say 'I've discuss this with The Inquisitors'
Ryvan frowns.
Ranga cringes in terror!
You say 'And they have agreed this might need some further investigation'
Ranga says 'Oh no!'
You say 'Even Rhadam is takin an interest in this.'
Ranga peers around him trying to find a way out.
Ryvan says 'You had best hope you remain pure son. If not, the Creator save you...'
em gives her son a sad look
Ryvan puts his hand on Ewi's shoulder.
Ranga sniffles and says 'I only wanted to see the buildings the Ogier in Mardoon had spoken of.
You say 'Lets hope your innocent saved you from the taint'
You say 'If not, they will find it and cure you sweetie'
Ryvan says 'Next time you wish to visit somewhere, be sure to ask. If there is a next time...'
Ranga says 'Will they... hurt me?'
You say 'They will only find the truth dear'
Ranga looks up with a trembling lip.
You say 'Mommy will be there with you'
Ryvan says 'The truth...'
Ranga says 'But I have already spoken the truth!'
You say 'And I promise that if we need to cure you'
You say 'I'll make sure it doesn't hurt'
You say 'ok?'
Ranga brightens a little.
Ryvan says 'Those witches may have down things to you without your knowing son. '
Ranga says 'Oh thank you thank you mommy!'
em gives her son an odd smile
Ryvan says 'It needs to be determined if you remain untainted.'

You say 'And sweetie, one more thing.'
Ranga says 'Yes mommy?'
You say 'Next time Uncle Clovin tells you to go somewhere'
You say 'Do as he tells you.'
Ranga says 'I will, mommy.'
Ranga shuffles his feet in embarassment.
You say 'He got quite a temper, and a short patience with dwelling'
Ranga says 'I was afraid he'd hurt me.'
Ranga pouts.
You say 'I'm quite sure, he would have'

You say 'What are we to do with you?'
Ranga says 'Give me a real sword?'
Ranga blinks his eyes innocently.
Ryvan says 'That is a good question...'
Ryvan gives a home-made wooden toy to Ranga.
Ranga beams a smile at Ryvan.
Ryvan says 'Play with that while your mother and I talk.'
Ranga nods in agreement.
You say 'If he can lift it, after he talked to the Hand I think he should get one'
Ranga sits down on the ground and starts playing with a wooden horse.
Ryvan says 'I dont see why not. The younger you start, the more practice you get.'
You say 'Just shorten it a bit, for the balance.'
Ryvan says 'perhaps something small like yours?'
You say 'And tell the recruits I'll cut their throats open if they go sloppy and hurt him'
Ryvan says 'indeed'
You say 'They're supposed to teach him, not stab him in the foot'

Ranga gets a twig and a bit of string and makes a lance of it, tying it to the wooden horse.
Ranga mouths 'chaaaaaarge!' as he charges another stick with his toy.
Ranga turns his toy around and charges another stick figure.
Ryvan says 'Remember, those are witches youre charging boy.'
Ryvan says 'The kind that live in the tower.'
Ranga says 'Can I have a piece from your cloak to dress my stick figures in?'
Ranga says 'Then I can charge them!'
Ryvan says 'You ask your mother to foul her cloak?'
em takes a napkin from her pouch and gives to her son
You say 'that'll have to do'

You say 'it's a bit hard to explain.'
Ranga smiles at you.
You say 'But while we become holier and more close to the Creator, the longer we serve'
You say 'Witches become uglier and more foul and tainted the longer they do dishes.'
You say 'And they do all their dishes for the Dark One.'
Ranga says 'Will I become ugly too if I do dishes?'
Ranga looks a bit worried.
You say 'No dear'
You say 'You do dishes for the Creator'
Ranga fidgets with a napkin and dresses a stick figure in it.
You say 'You'll just grow more beatiful by the day'
Ranga smiles brightly.
Ryvan says 'Only if you befriend the witches and do their dishes will you become ugly like them son.'
em scratches her head a bit
Ranga reaches into his backpack and gets some crayons.
You say 'This is kinda hard to explain to a child '
You say 'But that will do for now.'
You say 'And don't become a Gayding... sorry Gaidin.'

Ranga carefully draws lines in many colors on the bottom of the white napkin.
Ranga says 'So what do guyding do if they don't protect princesses?'
Ryvan says 'The fight the Dark Ones battles.'
You say 'They do protect the witches, but only once they become full of witchery and old.'
Ranga tears a napkin in two and dresses another stickfigure in the pure white half.
You say 'Then they can inprison a Gaidin'
You say 'And tell him what to do'
You say 'And he has to do it.'
Ranga lets out a disguted 'Ugh!'.
Ranga turns a bit green.
You say 'And he has to die'
Ranga quickly draws a yellow sunburst on the figure riding the horse.
You say 'And she will drag all the life out of him'
You say 'To make sure he dies first'
Ranga puts his crayons away in his pack.
You say 'We call them lapdogs'
Ryvan says 'Witches are cold and filthy creatures son.'
You say 'Caue they are just like Spot' [the boys dog]
Ranga says 'Lapdogs! The guyding are lapdogs?!'
You say 'They have to do as they are told'
Ranga mutters disgustedly.
Ryvan nods at Ranga.
You say 'Or they'll get spanked and left without dinner'
Ryvan says 'they are indeed.'
You say 'So watch with those too.'

Ranga takes his wooden horse and charges the figure in white and stripes with the sound 'ta ta ta ta ta taaaa'.
Ranga mumbles 'didn't know the lapdogs were the guyding'.
Ranga lets out a heartfelt 'Bah!'
Ryvan says 'Well, had you waited to travel with me, I could have shown you all this.'
Ryvan eats an apple.
Ranga says 'But you were busy!'
Ranga charges a white figure with his toy horse.
You say 'Sweetie, wrong one.'
You say 'Concentrate on the ugly ones.Not those in white.'
Ranga holds up a white figure and shows you the colors on the hem of the white dress.
You say 'Ah.'
You say 'Then it's ok.'
You pat Ranga on his head.
Ranga holds up the rider of the horse and shows you the yellow sun on the white cloak.
Ranga continues his game of charging, fussing with a tuft of grass and a stick in between.

You say 'the evil witches got dresses in different colors'
You say 'I can give you a few pieces of different cloth if you want to?'
Ranga mumbles softly 'Die witch!' and he charges the witch figure, trampling it under the wooden horse.
You say 'I'm certain Hand Anor got a few of each kind'
Ryvan grins evilly.
Ranga says 'Oh yes, that'd be lovely!'
Ryvan whispers to you, 'shall i visit the seamstress and fetch the boy some proper 'cloaks'?'
You smile at him.
You say 'Well, we don't want him to misunderstand the look of things again, do we?'
You say 'so might as well.'
Ryvan nods in agreement.
Ranga drops his toys and grabs another stick and ties it to another stick figure.

Ryvan says 'mind you mother boy. ill be back in a few moments.'
You say 'You know, for some reason I'm finding this game interesting.'
Ranga places the new figure before the girl in white and grabs his horse again.
You say 'Who is that?'
em points at the figure
Ranga says 'He's a guyding!'
You say 'Ah.'
You nod in agreement.
Ranga says 'See? He has a sword!'
Ryvan has arrived from the north.
You say 'Did you find anything?'
Ryvan says 'I took some scraps she had lying about in a basket out front and left her some coins.'
You nod in agreement.
You say 'now, she can't have a red dress. Since she had a guyding'
em shakes her head... and mumbles 'Gaidin'
Ranga charges a guyding and thwaps him over the head with the Child's lance.
Ryvan hands Ranga several scraps of fabric in various colors.
Ryvan says 'for your witches.'
Ranga says 'Oh! Thanks daddy!'
Ryvan beams a smile at Ranga.

You say 'The red does not have any lapdog.'
Ranga says 'Why not?'
Ryvan ponders life, the universe, and everything.
Ryvan says 'I dont know.'
Ranga says 'Are they more dangerous and don't need a guyding to protect them?'
You say 'She is trying to steal a tainted male channelere instead'
You say 'She goes looking for men who can channel '
Ranga screams in terror!
You say 'And tries to guyding him instead'
Ranga hastily sits on a red patch of fabric, hiding it from his sight.
You say 'But they are hard to find'
You say 'So mostly she is alone.'
Ranga nods at that.
Ranga dresses a white robed stick figure in a scrap of green cloth.
You nod in agreement.
You say 'That is a green'
Ryvan smiles happily.
Ranga smiles brighly.
You say 'She might have two lapdogs'

Ryvan gets a cloak of shifting colors from a backpack.
You snicker softly.
Ryvan tears some fabric off the cloak and hands it to Ranga.
Ryvan puts a cloak of shifting colors in a backpack.
Ranga says 'This is odd fabric.'
Ranga handles it carefully.
You say 'Put that on the lapdogs'
Ryvan says 'This is what the lapdogs wear.'
Ranga says 'I can barely see it against the stones.'
Ranga says 'They do?'
You nod in agreement.
Ranga says 'But then you can't see them?!'
You say 'It's kinda hard sometimes'
You say 'But you got Spot'
You say 'I'm certain he'll notice them.'
You smile at him.
Ranga dresses a stick figure with a sword in a patch of fabric of shifting colors.
You say 'And Sweetie, if you wonder something more, ask Mommy or Daddy. Not the dish-doing witches'
Ryvan says 'Those witches will just cloud your mind with half truths and outright lies.'

Ryvan picks Ranga up and stare directly into his eyes.
Ranga blinks his eyes innocently.
You say 'Don't worry Ryvan. It's for the best.'
Ryvan says 'you do everything you are told, when you are told to do it. do you understand?'
Ranga says meekly 'Yes daddy.'
Ryvan says 'falter and the Creator save you.'
Ryvan hugs Ranga.
Ranga hugs Ryvan.
Ryvan carefully sets Ranga down on the fountain.
Ranga says 'I'll be a good boy.'
Ranga sits down and starts playing again.
You say 'Wait here and don't go no where, I'll be right back'

You say 'Yes Sir'
Einor Saren says 'How old are you, boy?'
Ranga says 'Greetings uncle errr sir.'
Ranga says 'I'm 8.'
Ranga holds up nine fingers, then eight.
Ranga blushes.
Einor Saren says 'Eight. Do you know how easy it would be for an eight year old to be taken by the Shadow?'
Ranga shakes his head.

Ok.
Einor Saren says 'Very easily.'
Ranga says 'I don't uncle. Sir.'
Ranga looks to his mother for help.

You nod at him.
Einor Saren says 'Why, you would not even make a meal for a real trolloc.'
Ranga lifts his toy sword.

Einor Saren smirks.
You say 'Ranga.'
You say 'Don't point swords at the Hand.'
Ranga blushes.

What's bothering you?
Einor Saren says 'Eight years old. You have pluck, at least.'
Ranga says 'I'm sorry uncle. Errr...sir.'
Ranga shuffles his feet uneasily.
Einor Saren says 'I have business to attend to. Is there any reason for me to be concerned that Ranga will try to flee the city in the next few days?'
You say 'he is grounded'
You say 'So he better not try.'
Einor Saren nods in agreement.
Ranga says 'Can't I even go out hunting for rabbits?'
Einor Saren says 'We will talk again little warrior.'
Einor Saren snaps to attention and salutes you.
Ranga pouts.
You salute him.

[Ranga]

After quickly ascending through the ranks of the Children, Ranga wrote the Addendum to the Way of the Light:

==================================================

A Commoner's Guide to the Light.

A quote from the "Way of the Light":
"Therefore abjure all pleasure, for goodness is a pure abstract, a perfect crystalline ideal which is obscured by base emotion. Pamper not the flesh. Flesh is weak but spirit is strong; flesh is useless where spirit is strong. Right thought is drowned in sensation, and right action hindered by passions. Take all joy from rightness, and rightness only."

This book should provide the mere commoners and farmers with enough of a guide to live in the Light, without using the language of the day when "The Way of the Light" was first penned down. Written after the fall of Artur Hawkwing's empire as chaos reigned supreme and the world was riven by war, it provides insight in how to live in the Light, mind, body and soul.

The Beginning of Enlightenment
To understand the background of why the tome was written, it is important to know that after many years of squabbling and disaster, Artur Hawkwing rose to prominence. His parents dead during the Black Fever in FY 939, he ascended the throne of Shandalle. Around the same time Guaire Amalasan, the False Dragon, wrecked the world. After a daring battle using unexpected tactics, Guaire Amalasan was captured by Artur Hawkwing and the Aes Sedai. The army marched for Tar Valon, where the mighty general whose effective strategy won the day for the Light was repaid with the message that he had five days to rest his troops and then had to take his army beyond Tar Valon borders. Then Tar Valon was besieged by the remnants of Amalasan's army. Only the presence of Artur Hawkwing's troops saved Tar Valon from being wrecked by men sworn to the False Dragon.

However, the Amyrlin of the day never forgave Artur that he took his army into Tar Valon, or that she needed him to defeat the Dragonsworn. For a mysterious and unknown reason three other nations started marching towards Artur's Shandalle. At the same time Trolloc activity rose and thought the Tower usually negotiated a treaty between warring parties, in the case of Shandalle against the armies of Caembarain (Andor), Khodomar (a nation south of Cairhien and north of Haddon Mirk) and Tova (Cairhien) never attempted to negotiate even though Hawkwing appealed to the Tower for help with negotiations. Aldeshar (Murandy), Ileande (north of Cairhien) and Talmour (Haddon Mirk) sent armies to aid their neighbours. The very nations Artur Hawking had saved from being wrecked by the False Dragon turned against him and all gained an Aes Sedai advisor. However, Artur's magnificent strategic skills had the treacherous nations defeated within twenty years. All nations west of the Spine of the World, with the exception of Tar Valon fell under Artur Hawkwing's rule.

Next followed twentythree years of peace, where men and women lived their lives in safety and plenty. When Artur had had an Aes Sedai advisor for some years, he trusted the Tower enough to appoint Aes Sedai to highranking positions in his empire. For reasons that cannot be retrieved in the libraries of the world, Hawkwing suddenly turned against the Aes Sedai in FY 974, even setting a price on the head of every Aes Sedai who refused to renounce Tar Valon. He laid siege to Tar Valon, which lasted until his death. It is suspected that the Aes Sedai rulers had been taking orders from the Amyrlin Bonwhin and that Hawkwing thought the Aes Sedai were using him to spread their own influence, perhaps even take over the world. Some sources claim he discovered that the Amyrlin had had a hand in the deaths of Artur's first wife Amaline and their children.
As the siege of Tar Valon continued, in FY 986 a sudden invasion of Trollocs ravaged the northern provinces. With swift and decisive action this invasion was crushed, and the Shadow given such a blow that the Blight remained quiet for fifty years. Relations with the Tower were cool, but not hostile. After sending expeditions to Seanchan and Shara, Artur mysteriously fell ill and died. A letter found in the Cairhien library mentions "the great Hawkwing died less than an hour before the nws arrived of the tragic deaths of his daughter Laiwynde and her son, the last of Hawkwing's blood this side of the oceans."

After the relative peace for the common man during Hawkwing's long reign, his death plummetted the world into chaos. All nobility seemed to want to carve a piece out of Hawkwing's lands for themselves and wars and chaos were daily occurences. Thieves, bandits and darkfriends thrived in these circumstances and soon they were running rampant. At that time, in FY 1021, a group of priests were founded by Lothair Mantelar. They preached against darkfriends, but in the War of the Hundred Years they swiftly turned into warriors, actively fighting the dark wherever it lurked.

With the events between Hawkwing and the treachery and manupulation of the Aes Sedai fresh in the memory of the people, as well as scholars making the link between the Tar Valon siege and the sudden wakening of the Blight, Lothair Mantelar, a philosopher and a man of considerable knowledge, realized the Aes Sedai were darkfriends themselves. He proceeded to write a book about how one should live, so that one's soul will find peace in the hand of the Creator.


Friends of the Dark
Darkfriends come in many different forms. Some come in the shape of a smiling old man, or in the shape of men running with wolves, others can appear to be normal citizens. Odd and suspicious goings on around their homes and businesses may indicate their true allegiance. Once should also be wary of men suddenly becoming very lucky or gaining sudden wealth and status. Should you find such a person among you, observe him and alert proper authorities.

One of the best known organizations of darkfriends is the White Tower. Lulling the common man into a sense of security with their easily circumventable Oaths, they manipulate kings and nations and prepare the world for the coming of their Great Lord, the Dark One himself. Some of these women serve the dark in the open, women such as Kedelacia or Cenae were once members of the White Tower before they showed whom they served in reality. There will be more to follow, for the power of the Creator is tempting, and the Dark's lure is strong. Thus the women of the Tower shall continue to claim their innocence and go about their treachery unhindered.

With secret rituals in the bowels of the island of Tar Valon the witches prepare young women for their evil tasks. In those same dark places they claim to 'gentle' tainted men, however they set them free to undo the balance of the world for the Dark One will return in chaos. Under the Hand's protection there have even been repenting women stating that the Aes Sedai use the tainted men to breed with innocent women, so that they may bear more future dreadlords for the dark. However, these rumors must be discarded for no Lightfearing woman would willingly do such a thing, and should this be a widespread practice it would have become part of the knowledge of the people, spreading from village to village in wild tales.


He who will Break the World
The Karaethon Cycle speak of the Dragon Reborn and how he will lead the Last Battle against the Dark. A great many people take solace from this, hoping that once the Last Battle is done the world will see another Age of Legends where the world will prosper and be at peace. However, it is prudent to realize this man, the Dragon Reborn, will be a male channeler and therefore tainted and crazed. Like his predecessor Lews Therin Kinslayer he cannot be trusted and can leash out at the people surrounding him at any time. This will include the armies of the Light he is said to be fated to lead. Should he lead these armies, the renewed breaking of the world is inevitable, like the Karaethon Cycle suggests. To keep the world from falling into chaos and darkness the Dragon Reborn will cause he must be slain, so that the Children of the Light may expertly lead the armies of the Light during Tarmon Gaidon and free the world of the Dark One and all his minions.


The Way of the Light
There are a number of things one should know so one's soul may remain pure:

Everyone has his or her purpose for the Light. Some may be excellent fighters, whereas others can best serve the Light being a good wife to a Lightfearing husband. A farmer is important to the Light providing the good citizens with food, as is a noble who has been schooled by the best tutors. However, do not try to overstep your place. Some are not suited for being a soldier and are best off in a position of seemingly lesser status.

For those who are farmers, hunters or travelers, they will well know the danger a pack of wolves may pose. They are eyes of the shadow and viscious beasts only out for the kill. Their dark mentality was used to craft them into wolf muzzled trollocs. They must be slain. Authorities in Amador will reward you well for your acts for the Light.

The flesh will distract a man from the purity of the mind and the purpose in his life. Only humor the flesh to bring new lightfearing children into this world, so that they may do their part. Women, in all their ignorance, may tempt the flesh. Resist this temptation and scold her for her actions, for she may unwittingly lure you to the dark.

Should one be wed before the Light, one is to keep to the weddings vows as if they were the strongest Oath spoken. Bedding another than one's spouse means you have strayed from the path of the Light and have passed into the ways of the Dark.

For those who have what the darkfriend Aes Sedai call 'the spark', fear not. You have not been born in sin, but if you use the Creator's Power you will be sinful. The Creator tests us all to see if we will use his Power in vain and challenge him and his power. Should you fail the test, you are lost to the Light forever. The test comes for us all, as we are respun throughout the ages. Should you have the ability and wish to pass the Creator's test, the Children and the Hand are there to aid your path in the Light. Purification of the soul by confessing your sins and receiving absolution are all possible. We have the means to make sure you will not be able to touch the Source again, so you may return to the Light. Even should you not know this, and train in the dark Tower, your soul may still be saved, though the price may be higher. Those men who posess the ability to touch the Source can receive peace in death.

Excessive alcohol use may cloud the mind and cause you to stray off the path to the Light. The effects of alcohol may be tempting, but resist and remain pure.

Committing sinful acts does not only threaten the passing to the Creator of ones own soul, but also those of your children and your children's children. Men can be held entirely accountable and the sins of the father are visited to the tenth generation. Sins of the mother are only visited to the fifth generation, for women cannot be held entirely accountable due to widespread ignorance among their kind.

Use these guidelines as a rope to cling to in life, and one shall be reborn pure and innocent.

Ranga Traofann
Bannerman, Children of the Light
written in 596 NE

[Ranga]

When Ranga got to rank 5 or 6, he served on the Council with Kesumi. I had a hunch, but zero evidence. One day, he faded. As a result, Hand Gaius imprisoned Ranga's mother, Child Ewiene, as Ewiene had mentored Kesumi. Ewiene declined having the Child representative present during her interactions with Hand Gaius. He told her a tale of how the Children had quietly voted to declan Ewiene. Ewiene then rped that her character comitted suicide. Even when it was found out what bs went down, she would not bring her back.

After that, Gaius turned his attention to Ranga, another who had been close to Ewiene. Around that time, I got tired of playing a male alt. I had Ranga go on a mission to find a secret weapon to fight the Shadow with and I didn't play him until he applied to the Legion. He had failed to find the secret weapon, but found a new goal in life.

=============================================================

Greetings to those who strive for Unity,


My name is Ranga Ellis'era Traofann and I am a man in my middle years. I was born in Amador, as the son of Child Ewiene Ellis'era and Child Ryvan Traofann. As a young boy, I was taught how to ride and how to use a variety of weapons, although I have to admit that swords, polearms and axes are among the ones I do best with.


As you may imagine, given my parentage, I was taught the teachings of the Children from when I was in swaddling clothes. When I was four, I decided to go to Tar Valon to see the witches with my own eyes. Stealing a horse from the Fortress of Light's stables, I rode north. However, much to my surprise, I didn't see any witches in the city. There were just many young girls, some of them beautiful and all very well mannered. They seemed like princesses to me.


I did eventually follow in my parents' footsteps and joined the Children. I ascended through the ranks quickly, finally attaining the rank of Under-Lieutenant. Unfortunately for the Children, the Light and my reputation, I served on the Council alongside Kesumi, without ever knowing the Shadow that lurked by my side.


That was the beginning of the end. When the Dark One made him one of his myrddraal generals, my mother was Questioned by Hand Gaius, as she had taken Kesumi under her wing and taught him how to run the Children. Hand Gaius manipulated her until she saw no other way than to kill herself. The betrayal of Kesumi was one thing, the betrayal of Gaius was something else. I left the Children under the guise of seeking a weapon to fight the Shadow with. However, my heart had left the way of the Children and the way they go about their cause with the death of my mother.


I spent many years scouring libraries looking for such a weapon that may sway the battle in our favor. I hunted down clues and spent many a time out in the wild looking for an obscure ruin. I have spent time in almost every corner of the known world. I have done battle, both against Seanchan, Shadowspawn and tainted male channelers. Yet I never did find that weapon. In hindsight, perhaps not surprising. If there was such a weapon, it would have been found already. Perhaps even by the Shadow, so maybe we should consider ourselves blessed that such a weapon does not exist.


Recently, as I was sitting by my campfire in sight of the ruins of what once was a giant statue of Artur Hawkwing, it suddenly struck me. We should not seek a weapon, we should be the weapon. The Shadow thrives on chaos. The best way mankind can oppose the Shadow is by forming a unified front.


When I had realized this, I knew I had a new purpose in life. The White Tower and thus Tar Valon reportedly strives to unite the lands, too. However, the Children and Seanchan would never follow them, due to differing opinions. Therefore, I knew serving Tar Valon would not be most effective for my new mission. This is why I am offering you my weapon, so that I may serve the Legion in its efforts to Unite the lands, as well as the hearts and minds of those who dwell in them.


I hope you are willing to accept my offer and I look forward to travel the lands with you,


*a sigil of a rose has been pressed into blue wax*


In the Light,

Ranga Ellis'era Traofann

[Ranga]

After years fighting on the Blightborder, Ranga was ready to earn the title Unifier, so he mailed Lord Dainar Or'Kenset.

======================================================

A lone rider crossed the plains, his fine black horse trotting in a steady rhythm. He passed a lone tree, which served as a perch for a vulture. A gloomy sight, but the man barely registered it.

The man was in his middle years, his once brown hair now streaked with gray, giving him a pepper and salt look. He was wearing plain clothes and no armor, though a sword hung on the left flank of his horse and a club had been placed in a quiver that hung off the knob of his saddle. His black and ivory cloak hung draped across the back of the horse as it trotted steadily onwards.

He slowed the horse down to a walk. After a life of soldiering and traveling, the speediest way to travel on horseback was so ingrained in him he hardly gave it a second thought. They would alternate the walk, trot and canter for several hours, then rest at mid day and let the horse graze, then ride again. This allowed them to travel at least forty miles a day, depending on the terrain. Of course, the greater part of his journey these past few weeks had been on a ship down and up the River Arinelle.

It had been a while since he had been to Amador. He was courteous to the current residents, after all none of those had been responsible for what had happened all those years ago. Yet, he did not feel the courtesy in his heart. Even now, Amador still left a sour taste in his mouth, despite it being his place of birth and the place he learned most of the combat skills he had used all his life. After a few days rest in Amador, he had had his horse saddled again and set off south of the city, looking for the cavern that was the final resting place of Lothair Mantelar and his mother. He had hesitated before going in. It had not been sadness that overcame him, but rage. Like a fire flashing through him, it burned as hard and painfully as it once had.

In the end, he lit a lantern and entered the darkness, passing the gate bearing the sunburst and descending further into the earth. Smirking at the chamber that held Lothair Mantelar's remains, he found the chamber he had been looking for. There were others laid to rest there now, too. Child Mushu, Child Seeras. And the grave of his mother, Child Ewiene. Lady Ewiene. She had grown up a slip of a girl on the streets of Lugard. Taken in by a man named Malk and she had ultimately found her way to Amador to become a Child of the Light. She had been a beacon of Light as she rose through the ranks, teaching everyone. Ironic that her giving nature had been the end of her, she had inadvertantly also taught a darkfriend, a man a few years Ranga's senior, who had betrayed the Children. A certain Hand, Gaius, had Questioned her, trodden on law and deceived his mother, resulting in her taking her own life. After it became evident that said Hand also took an unnatural interest in him, Ranga had hung up his white cloak and left Amador to seek out ways to combat the Shadow.

He had sat by his mother's grave for hours, telling her how he had roamed the lands, scouring libraries looking for some weapon the Light could employ. He had been deep into the Blight, to shabby coastal villages, but ultimately he realized that the only weapon the Light could use was to all join forces. Only when they all put aside their differences, they would succeed. He had set off to Tar Valon the next day to put his thought into action. He needed to be with the women of the White Tower and learn to accept them for what they were. Mostly people with good intentions and with the occasional bad egg. From them he had heard of the Legion of Unity and he had set off for Kandor then.

After hours, Ranga concluded his life's tale by saying he had risen through the ranks of the Legion. He had fought the Shadow and been part of many sorties involving many different nationalities. He was now on the eve of attaining the respected rank of Unifier and even the title of Lord. For the first time in years, he had felt compelled to return home. "I still miss you, every day, mother," Ranga said. "I miss your smile, your encouragement. Your approval. I miss you." An unexpected tear had run down his cheek. He had placed a single blue rose on Ewiene's grave. Her favorite flower that had become her sigil and then his.

Even now, as he was riding through the plains, sadness washed over him. Booting the black horse into a trot, he thought of his home among the Legion. It would not be long before he was back among his friends of the Legion again and mistress Or'Kenset would serve him some hot stew and ale while complaining of the dust he brought in on his clothes. Ranga chuckled. Somehow even in his middle years, women would still scold him as if he was a youth. By now he doubted he would ever escape that. Some things in life were inevitable, he had found, and this was one of them. That, and fighting Shadowspawn.

[Ranga]

It took a few weeks before my master quest was ready and in the mean time, Ominas also got master qps. I asked Cerys if she could accommodate him too and she could. So we got a dual master quest. Eventually, the summons came that I had to be on in 1 hour, so I scramble to walk the dog early and logged on.

Road Through the Rolling Plains
Signs of life are scarce across the dry plains, with only the hardiest and
most determined flora in existence. A road made rough by its closeness to
the Blight's encroaching heat is cracked and dry, strewn with bones, rocks,
and ashen debris. Wagon ruts mark the route between the northern track to
Chachin and a main road towards Canluum.

A Steep Slope
A canvas of compacted dirt and loose rocks dress a precipitous hillside's
track between more barren lands above and a burgeoning valley in the
distance below. Deep furrows in the packed earth mark the well-established
passing of travelers. Abyssal craters, formed from the turbulent exodus of
loosened rocks and boulders, further scar the road and threaten wagon and
horse alike. A small, pathetic representation of a tree has taken root in
one such crater, its leaves shriveled and drooping. A small landslide has
settled at the base of the slope.

Dirt Road Through Town
With relatively fresh surfacing, the road here is in good repair although
the edges of the dirt road are old and hard packed suggesting that this
road was not used nor upkept for many years. Similarly, the surrounding
buildings are in varied conditions, with some old solid buildings showing
signs of recent repair, while others have been freshly built.

as to the north, leading up into the Blight. The ill-effects of the Blight can
be seen extending even here, and some of the plants writhe with a life of their

prove to be the death of any intruders. This area just outside the stockade

A canvas of compacted dirt and loose rocks dress a precipitous hillside's

passing of travelers. Abyssal craters, formed from the turbulent exodus of
loosened rocks and boulders, further scar the road and threaten wagon and
horse alike. A small, pathetic representation of a tree has taken root in
one such crater, its leaves shriveled and drooping. A small landslide has
settled at the base of the slope.

Road Through the Hills of Kandor
Deep ruts mar the track as it lazily saunters between the soft hills of
Kandor. Dry, crackling bracken crowds the edge of the road, choking the
sides of the road, struggling to make headway in the impacted soil. Further
back, the ferns give way to a rolling wall of gray heather, peppered with
stout pine trees jutting from the anaemic earth.

In the Deeps
Coined by the locals as "Tavern Row" one would be hard pressed to find any
establishment that sells anything but spirits and ale. The street is home
to several watering holes, with only some boasting questionable
accommodations as well. A larger tavern sits to the west with a sign above
the door depicting a tapped keg and a pickaxe. The road tapers from the

Northeastern Watchtower
One of several crossings in the city, the junction offers a view of a tall

field of daisies. At the street people mill about and keep to their
business, making their way the Deeps to the north, or towards a row of
skilled laborers to the west. The city's tall, gray wall parts to contain a
gated watchtower, upon which a standard with a red stag flies.

Several rectangular tables form a semi-circle around a sizeable hearth in
this wide, open common room. A small bar is situated adjacent to the
fireplace where visitors hover over mugs of ale. The windows are shuttered,
but firelight shines upon a clean-swept floor and the gleaming wood panels
gracing the walls reflect the glow of a dozen lit sconces. The inn serves
as a welcome respite from the Deeps of Canluum.

A broad street splits a rather large section of the Deeps in two, with
business bordering the paved crossing. Handcarts are parked haphazardly
along the street, their contents catering to the visitors of the

flowers, and across the street a rather large, nicely kept inn sits to the

A Makeshift Enclosure
An open area behind an outpost contains a makeshift, circular pen fashioned
from wooden stakes and twisted wire. The ground is covered with muddied
straw, and piles of dung are scattered everywhere. A neglected trough and
round wooden barrel sit in the corner, spilling over with weevils. To the
north, the enclosure is fastened to one wall of an old building, with a door
that leads inside. A large hole in the earth shows the makings of a tunnel.
