Counsil Meeting of 816
Asinjin:
The official beginning of the 4th era is the Counsil meeting of 816. Twenty five years after the last meeting where Melodi, The Collector, and Arsenal became members of the Counsil, elevated from quasi deity status.
This thread will detail the divine aftermath of that meeting as well as detail what happens at the meeting in 816.
To the best of my thinking and memory right now, everything told in story from this point on from me is post this meeting.
Asinjin:
Melodi (the knowledge keeper, the song maker) (Neutral Good [neutral])
After finally accepting her role as a deity after centuries of turning down the role, Allanda, ascended to the Counsil with little fanfare in 791.
Her portfolio expanded after her ascension and grew to include: bards, music, learning, and art. To a lesser extent: schools, beauty and knowledge.
Her religion was based in Icefia at the bardic college. While it remains the traditional home, temples have appeared at the other places of higher education around the world and there is a friendly competition as to where the seat of power is located.
Melodi has no ambition and never directs her followers in a way that appears as if the religion is trying to claim other aspects. Nonetheless, she has rivals and enemies. Her rivals include Quan Yin (beauty, art); Smofarf and Celetal (learning, knowledge).
Her primary enemy is the God of Lost Knowledge for whom hers is one of only two religions, along with the Oldest Orc, whose clerics appear immune to GOLK's ability. This means that with only rare exceptions, those are the only clerics that are aware of GOLK.
Adding to her power, her clerics gained access to the domains of Introspect, to go along with Beauty and Knowledge.
He time during the reign of Iott was spent making sure knowledge did not fall away from the world. This was a danger due to Iott monopolizing it and then due to an angry population destroying wizardly knowledge afterwards. Her shrines became beacons of information as the world grew separate when travel and magic were restricted. Her clerics would go on missions for months at a time bringing the news of the world, often in song form, to backwaters and hidden places. This made them a target in some places and heroes in others, sometimes both.
Her faith has grown forty fold in those years, numbering over half a million. They maintain five temples and about fifty shrines around the world. There are many clerics, but the vast majority are also bards and hence there are few powerful clerics.
The high cleric of the religion is Haskra in Icefia, who resides at the high temple in the Bardic College.
Before his disappearance in 815, her most notable follower was the esteemed and renowned Arcane Singer Luigi Wonderword.

She remains a Demi-god.

I am definitely glad to see Melodi on the council. The Wizards 3 have been pushing that forever. I am excited to play a cleric of hers in the 4 era. I think she will be the primary goddess that Wignston worships now that she is on the council.
Hero:
Could you add notable members of the faith? E.g., Melodi’s high cleric.
Asinjin:
Sutyr (Lawful Evil)
Betraying the Counsil did not go well for Sutyr. Not only did he abandon them the way Hemator did, but unlike Hemator, he worked against them instead of existing outside the Counsil.
This lead to a persecution by most of the Counsil powers and several of the cults. He played a high risk high rewards game, and he lost. The years between Counsil meetings went poorly for his religion. Only his allegiance to Iott and Kallark allowed his faith to survive as long as it did.
There are no temples, only a few shrines, and the only faithful are recluses clinging to the past.
The most notable remaining member and by default high cleric is also the last known Flame Master, a fire giant named Fumarsk. His survival has mostly to do with the exhaustion of those that had hunted Sutyr. His whereabouts are unknown.
