Blackguards 2 lore1/26/2024 ![]() As they chanted, they brought forth the great blanket of silver clouds upon the horizon. Shayna Thunderhand says ‘The druids chanted around their hierophant, who held their order’s sacred item. You say, ‘How did they conjure a great storm?’ The ceremony began and each item was used in the. Toliara, representing the fledgling arcane order, was last to present her order’s item to the new hierophant - whose curiosity was piqued by the beautiful and most apparently powerful item. Tradition dictates that the head of each of The Rainkeeper’s order would come forward, bearing their sacred item to the hierophant and each in their own way, respectfully representing their order and its foundation, aid the hierophant in the ceremony. Shayna Thunderhand says ‘The new hierophant was named and it was he that would lead the opening ceremonies of the solstice dawn. You say, ‘How did they establish themselves?’ Upon the dawn of the winter solstice, the fledgling order met at the Shrine of Karana where they would then among Karana’s most faithful.’ She etched the sacred runes upon the base of the scepter and sealed the separate items into one whole. Toliara and her fellow wizards would spend days researching and creating a spell and rune of their own with which they would fulfill the purpose of the item. The magicians then conjured the elemental essences of the storm - water and air and sealed them in an azure sphere that was created from pure, enchanted elemental water. Shayna Thunderhand says ‘The enchanters, who were also artisans highly skilled in the ways of jewel craft and even blacksmithing, were asked to forge a golden scepter with a hollow cradle at its peak. Toliara called upon her brothers and sisters of the arcane sciences and together they forged an of considerable power significant to that which The Rainkeeper sacredly represents.’ It is tradition that when a new hierophant is recognized, that the elders of each artisan, spiritual, and military order present the sacred item of their order that would then be wielded in the sacred ceremony - in this case, it was the winter solstice. A new hierophant was to be named at the ceremony sited at the Throne of Karana’s Thunder. ![]() Shayna Thunderhand says ‘The night before the sacred annual ritual and festival, the hierophant of Karana passed into the great Eye of Karana’s Storm. The magicians, wizards, and enchanters loyal to The Rainkeeper met for several months, formulating and establishing that would usher their order into the collective goal and cause of Karana’s faithful.’ She was asked to coordinate the efforts of all the Jaggedpine natives that had taken an interest and shown their adept talents in the ways of the arcane and form an opening ceremony to take place during the winter solstice celebration. When she returned to the Jaggedpine with her newfound knowledge, the elders were very intrigued. Shayna Thunderhand says ‘A wise and stoic woman by the name of Toliara Stormcaller was the first of our ancestors to master the art of wizardry. As with all existing orders of The Rainkeeper, we had a - one who made it possible for us to maintain our studies and interweave it into our everlasting faith in Karana.’ It was then that our elders felt that a new order must be established - the Order of the Storm Callers. Gladly, our ancestors did so and returned to the forest with their newfound knowledge and passion in the art of the arcane. When the Jaggedpine forest and it’s culture and people were still a part of the Qeynos kingdom, the wizards, magicians, and enchanters of Qeynos invited those from the Jaggedpine to partake in their fledgling studies. Shayna Thunderhand says ‘The Order of the Storm Caller is one whose roots are tied with the foundation of Qeynos and it’s establishments dedicated to the arcane sciences. You say, ‘What is your organization’s duties?’ ![]() The recent events have yielded quite an interesting turn in our duties - and we are very excited to once again be reunited with our brethren and homeland.’ I am Shayna Thunderhand - sorceress of The Rainkeeper and one of many ambassadors to the Jaggedpine. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Shayna Thunderhand gives a soft smile and delicate motion with her hand and bow of her head, ‘Greetings, Soandso.
