What's the worst thing a person can do with Necromancy?

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

Teach it to you, apparently.

# In reply to DaniAdventures's:

I've heard a lot of rumors, so I've gotta know: Do the Mordena really eat people?

# In reply to Melu's:

Fine. But I could be a great student :)

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

The best there ever was?   No. One of me is more than enough.

# In reply to Serukis's:

Shane, what is your favourite food that isn't bbq?

# In reply to Melu's:

Does this mean the Mordena is not taking apprentices or volunteers? If you don't want to teach me Necromancy, I could learn something else?

We are always open to applications, although as you can imagine our vetting process is quite rigorous, for obvious reasons. I highly recommend you submit an application through our formal channels, rather than continuing to address the Grand Navarch. For your own safety.   There's another thread in this board, here: Application Form

Tears.   No. That's not true. Fruit, actually. It doesn't even need to be grilled.   A very pursuasive fae put a lot of effort into convincing me being a carnivore was overrated. And it turns out they were right.   Who knew?

# In reply to Feels's:

Me. <3

# In reply to DaniAdventures's:

Hi, hello, me again, sorry, this'll just take a sec. Do the Mordena have a favorite pasttime? Because this one time, I overheard someone say that you had something similar to water polo, except you rode dinosaurs in lava and threw around a ball of steel.

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

Everyone has their own favorite pasttimes, as with any society, really. Personally, I prefer sparring with Raz and terrorizing the universe, but not everyone enjoys practicing to hone their skills.   Which is why I'm rather fond of one of the training exercises we have here called Blade Dancing. Aerial duels while standing on a fighter, what an ideal way to perfect combat skills and team effectiveness.   And they think it's a sport! We even have teams and leagues and everything. Excellent.

# In reply to 's:

It is a sport, Sir.   You're just upset because my Raiders keep winning, so you keep sending us away on mission to make sure we can't defend our championship title.

# In reply to Razick Kane's:

That's quite the accusation, Ace. Got anything to back that up? I'll have someone look into it.

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

No need, Raz. He's right.   Need to let the others think they have a chance. More motivation to practice. Ace understands how it is.

# In reply to Serukis's:

Is it true that the Mordena are more like a family than an organisation?

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

When the achievements of the team as a whole become personal successes for its members, the effectiveness and motivation of that team tends to improve considerably, wouldn't you say?

# In reply to Commander Acer Mazzard's:

Niwok ij rekkorae! Go Raiders!

# In reply to Sonofbattles's:

There are so many rumors flying around about where you came from prior to your organization's entry into the universe stage following the battle of Baden. Would you care to set the record straight regarding your past?

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

No.

# In reply to Sonofbattles's:

What were you before?

# In reply to Serukis's:

Shane, what are the Mordena's plans for the future? Are you planning on doing something about Sparnell?

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

Why do you ask? Is this a job proposition?

# In reply to Serukis's:

Honestly, I'm just curious.

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

So is the Confederation.   Who did you say you were again?

# In reply to Serukis's:

Just a fan of your methods, and not of the Confederation's.

# In reply to Serukis's:

Shane, what are the Mordena's plans for the future? Are you planning on doing something about Sparnell?

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

I have a conference room available, if you still want to discuss this...

# In reply to Serukis's:

Sure, as long as you're not planning to murder me for being curious. :)

Of course not. What I have in mind will be much more fun.   At least, for me.

Coming Home (Auren Reed)

Grand Navarch Shane Lawrence motioned to the pair of chairs in the otherwise sparse conference room.   "Have a seat, Munokkael. Make yourself comfortable. You're going be here for a while."

# In reply to Soulwing's:

Shane, when was the last time you truly felt yourself being an innocent and pure man? You have experienced so much that defined you, but there definitely was at some point in your Life a moment where none of it mattered yet, was there?

# In reply to 's:

Normal channels no longer seem to be working, so I thought I'd reach out to you here directly.   I'd like to schedule a follow on meeting to resume our prior encounter. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it, and I know you haven't either. I have a new proposition I believe will be even more to your liking... 😏

# In reply to Razalle Bosa's:

I am still waiting for a response to my request. As a paying client of the Mordena I am entitled to a response. I wish to speak with the Grand Navarch.

# In reply to Jake Cartwright Lawrence's:

As I've mentioned to you before, as Mordena's official contact for Freehold negotiations and contracts, your request would come through me, not my father.   And since you have thus far refused to name even the nature of your proposal, I am afraid we are unable to accommodate your needs at this time.   Please feel free to reach out to me directly when you are willing to provide the information we require to assign your request accordingly.

# In reply to Razalle Bosa's:

My 'proposal' is for the Grand Navarch's ears only.

# In reply to Captain Yiven Alanis's:

Would you just take the hint already? He's not interested!

# In reply to Razalle Bosa's:

Are you the competition then? I've been the duly elected president of Libara for decades. Ushered in and maintained a new era of peace and prosperity. My experience speaks for itself.   What does an insect like you know about love? About power?

# In reply to Captain Yiven Alanis's:

I'm a Void Necromancer.

# In reply to Kris Ferrik's:

I received your latest order today, and Dad wanted me to check, are these numbers correct? You're asking for a lot more than the usual shipment.

# In reply to Veris Asik's:

That's mine. I know it's a big ask, but can you do it?

# In reply to Kris Ferrik's:

We can get you anything, long as it's legal, you know that. But this quantity... It's going to take awhile. Legion'll be asking questions, and it's outside our standard contract agreement.

# In reply to Serukis's:

I have a question for Jake. Is there a special lady (or gentleman) in your life? Anyone you have your eye on? :)

# In reply to Serukis's:

Is that a yes? ;)

# In reply to Serukis's:

Unfortunately for Jake, I am happily married, sorry! Though I'm happy to put some money in the pot. ;)

# In reply to Jake Cartwright Lawrence's:

While I love sparring with you, I'd hardly call these outings a 'date'.

# In reply to Petty Officer Yaevin Felix's:

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I'm your best bet. 😘   We practically grew up together!

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Excuse me? I've been waiting over an hour and no one's come to talk to me.

# In reply to Razalle Bosa's:

They're ignoring you, too, are they?   It's like they don't understand just how much they need us. Our business is the biggest part of their success! You'd think they'd put a little more effort into their customer service.

# In reply to Petty Officer Yaevin Felix's:

Do we have a new contender? Who am I adding to The List? 😍

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Excuse me, how does one get added to this List?

# In reply to Petty Officer Yaevin Felix's:

You tell me your name and I write it down! 🥰   Since you're not Mordena he'll need a way to contact you when it's your turn so you can finalize the deets for your special evening.

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Lira Noakes. I'll leave you my card.

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Right? My article could give them so much publicity - and probably some extra trade deals.   It's nice to meet you, madamn president.

# In reply to Razalle Bosa's:

Pleasure to meet you, too! Nice to find someone who isn't afraid of the truth.   We should talk sometime. Oh, the things I could tell you about the Grand Navarch...! He and I go way back.   Good luck on your date with his son.

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

I'll pop by next time I'm on Libara. I'll bring wine.

# In reply to Lieutenant Yaevin Felix's:

Oh Lira? Guess whose name is coming up soon on The List? I'm here to plan Jake's date with youuuuu~! 🥰

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Excellent. What kind of details do you need from me? :)

# In reply to Lieutenant Yaevin Felix's:

Just wanted to help finalize the venue for your upcoming encounter. 🥰   Unfortunately we can't bring you to Janikk, so may I recommend Baden's The Sovereign Spoon?   One of my favorites. The menu always puts me in the mood, if you know what I mean. 😏 Maybe you'll get lucky! 😘

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Just looked it up. The menu looks fantastic.   And we’ll see.

# In reply to Lieutenant Yaevin Felix's:

Purrrrrrrfect. I'll make the reservations and send you the details.   Good luck~! 🥰

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Thanks. I don’t need luck. ;)

# In reply to Sonofbattles's:

Grand Navarch, have you ever been married?

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

Yes.   I killed them.

# In reply to Sonofbattles's:

Wait, you killed Jake's mother?

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

Yes.   I killed them.

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

Her too, yes.

# In reply to Sonofbattles's:

Wait, how many have you killed?

# In reply to Shane Lawrence's:

But things were just getting interesting.

# In reply to Jake Cartwright Lawrence's:

Ooooookay, and with that I'm declaring this question and answer session over. My father's had a very long week and it's time he got the rest he needs.   Thanks for coming everyone, and many thanks to the Grand Navarch for so graciously agreeing to answer questions!

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Do I need to bring pepper spray for our upcoming date?

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

# In reply to Jake Cartwright Lawrence's:

Quite the contrary, Ms. Noakes.   I promise, no harm will come to you while you're in my company.

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

It's Lira.   I'll trust you and leave the pepper spray in the hotel, but I do expect some answers.

# In reply to Lira Noakes's:

Goodnight, then.
