9/19 17:33:29.061 Mal'valen says: No worries. Please sit. I'm not going to be any more formal than Ishbaneer.
9/19 17:34:15.217 Trinea glances toward a spot just behind Mal'valen and slowly sinks to the ground.
9/19 17:34:28.608 Horkugal settles down near Trinea, in a near protective fashion.
9/19 17:34:39.827 Nevistanza sighs quietly and gathers her robes around her before sitting on the ground.
9/19 17:34:47.061 Alilliandra settles to the grass, glancing about and rolling her shoulders in a light shrug.
9/19 17:34:58.639 Trinea looks back at Horkugal, slightly surprised, but some of the nervous tension leaves her.
9/19 17:35:11.327 Erier looks to Kaltheraa and nods to her with a grunt, even though she's basically doing it at her back where she can't see. Erier moves away from the others and looks out down the hill distantly where she stands.
9/19 17:35:29.514 Kaltheraa looks back at Erier, then smiles warmly to her.
9/19 17:35:41.624 Mal'valen sighs and looks around at the group. "Well, I've opted to speak on something that isn't really talked about much within our Church," he begins.
9/19 17:36:30.467 Alilliandra listens intently to Mal'valen.
9/19 17:36:32.155 Mal'valen says: All of us within Kiss of the Betrayer have strong faith in the Holy Light. We believe in its power and that it guides us.
9/19 17:37:13.124 Trinea turns back to Mal'valen, wrapping her arms around her knees as she nods.
9/19 17:37:34.467 Horkugal turns his full focus towards the sermon's speaker. He reclines back, somewhat, while observing the robed remains of the Priest.
9/19 17:37:40.014 Mal'valen says: Some of us, though, also opt to follow a different path simultaneously. One that is darker and more mysterious. The realm of Shadow is often ignored when it comes to those who follow the Light, and I believe this to be because it is misunderstood.
9/19 17:37:55.296 Alilliandra nods at Mal'valen.
9/19 17:38:13.327 Mal'valen says: I, myself, did not fully understand the Shadow in life. I was told that it was unholy and unnatural, and aside from that, I would feel sick when attempting to use it.
9/19 17:38:38.936 Trinea rubs her cheek, glancing around for a moment.
9/19 17:39:08.952 Mal'valen says: I believe that this was brought on though by the beliefs that had been ingrained within me. I might not have felt sick if no one had told me when I was younger, "Don't touch the Shadow, it's dark and unnatural and wrong. One reason why the Shadow is misunderstood though is because the unenlightened often mistake it for the Fel."
9/19 17:40:14.514 Horkugal grates the air with the hints of a rumble - A ponderous, contemplative noise. The orc's look is a keen, attentive one.
9/19 17:40:26.405 Mal'valen says: Today, I would like to explain the differences between the Shadow and the Fel, and hopefully all here will have a better understanding of both so as to discern between them.
9/19 17:40:49.389 Mal'valen closes his eyes and holds his hands out, calling to the Shadows to engulf him.
9/19 17:41:12.796 Alilliandra cants her head, listening intently. Her eyes widening recognizing the call of the shadow.
9/19 17:41:18.671 Trinea resists the urge to scoot back, looking a bit more nervous again.
9/19 17:41:23.124 Horkugal narrows his eyes at the display.
9/19 17:41:35.686 From Mal'valen: "It's all right if you need to move, love."
9/19 17:41:36.921 Nevistanza smiles, happy Mal'valen decided to make such a strong gesture.
9/19 17:41:39.389 Rayellan arches an eyebrow, watching the priest intently.
9/19 17:41:45.530 Mal'valen says: Druids and Shamans believe in a balance within nature. Well, so too do Priests believe in Balance.
9/19 17:41:51.608 Trinea swallows hard and shakes her head slightly.
9/19 17:41:56.811 To Mal'valen: "I- I'm fine..."
9/19 17:42:00.858 Alilliandra nods at Mal'valen.
9/19 17:42:03.952 Lohken nods at the display.
9/19 17:42:28.171 Mal'valen says: Let's say that the sun is shining. It's bright, warm, helps plants grow and animals thrive, aye?
9/19 17:42:37.639 Kaltheraa tilts her head a bit as she listens to Mal'valen.
9/19 17:42:40.749 Horkugal flicks a glance towards the Priestess at his side, before centering it upon Mal'valen once more.
9/19 17:42:59.952 Mal'valen says: What if the sun never set?
9/19 17:43:09.624 Trinea frowns slightly.
9/19 17:43:33.452 Erier shoots her glance from staring out into the distance briefly towards Mal'valen as he speaks the word 'shaman.' Her eyes showing interest until they flick away again.
9/19 17:43:33.483 Alilliandra seems to be lost in thought, but listening all the same.
9/19 17:43:42.921 Mal'valen says: Water would dry up. Plants would wither and animals and people would die from dehydration. The world would become unbearably hot from the light of the sun beating down on it constantly.
9/19 17:44:02.139 Alilliandra nods in slow agreement.
9/19 17:44:25.983 Mal'valen says: But instead, each evening, the sun sets, allowing the darkness of the night to take its place. Having the night allows mortal beings to rest their eyes, or to awaken if they happen to be nocturnal. It cools down the planet and allows everything to renew itself for the next day. So what then if it was dark all the time?
9/19 17:46:07.171 Horkugal peers at Mal'valen searchingly.
9/19 17:46:43.561 Mal'valen says: Plants need light to survive. Without it, they can't get the nutrients they need. The world would become unbearably cold without the sun's warmth, and we would most likely all freeze to death eventually, those of us who didn't die from lack of nutrient-rich food. ...and who weren't Forsaken.
9/19 17:46:55.733 Mal'valen lets out a hacking cough.
9/19 17:46:56.342 Trinea reaches down, plucking a bit of grass and twirling it between her fingers contemplatively.
9/19 17:47:22.389 Horkugal rumbles.
9/19 17:47:32.749 Mal'valen says: So you see, there must be a balance between the Light and the Shadow. Perpetual light or perpetual darkness, either would mean our ultimate demise.
9/19 17:47:45.639 Mal'valen releases the Shadows, taking on his normal Holy aura once more.
9/19 17:47:58.889 Mal'valen says: The Fel... now that is something very different.
9/19 17:48:26.296 Horkugal flares his nostrils at the mere mention of Fel.
9/19 17:49:05.186 Alilliandra wrinkles her nose a bit, she knows she smells of it, Outlands reeks of it all over the place.
9/19 17:49:56.514 Mal'valen had actually succeeded in nabbing Erier's look back shortly after he caught her gaze the first time and listened to him intently with surprised interest, she looked totally absorbed. When he mentioned 'fel' it just so happened that she looked to Ormther just at that moment. She gives a quiet grunt to herself and slowly shifts farther away from him, eyes going back to Mal'valen once she's 'far' enough away from the warlock.
9/19 17:50:49.311 Mal'valen's voice darkens significantly. "The Fel is a source of unnatural, dark magic wielded by the Demons of the Twisting Nether. It is what the former Titan Sargeras and his Burning Legion have used to destroy countless worlds. Those who wield the Fel have no love of balance, only destruction and chaos. The Fel does nothing to help renew nature or mortals, only to corrupt and defile it."
9/19 17:52:22.936 Trinea cringes slightly and starts ripping apart the sprig of grass in her hands unconsciously.
9/19 17:52:24.171 Horkugal tenses at the specifics which the Priest lists, gradually straightening himself out as he makes mention of Demons. He looks half-ready to assault the aforementioned creatures at this very moment.
9/19 17:52:34.842 Mal'valen says: While there is a calm aura with those who wield the Shadow, there is turbulence present within those who manipulate Fel energies. If you are in tune with such, it's very easy to take notice of.
9/19 17:53:20.874 Rayellan continues to listen intently, her expression somewhat more carefully arranged now, almost fierce in its stillness.
9/19 17:53:46.046 Mal'valen says: There are numerous examples of the Fel's destructive power here on Azeroth. Felwood, for example, was once beautiful, lush forests. The Satyr were once Kal'dorei who were tempted and corrupted by its promises of great power and glory. The best example that we can see though of the havoc the Fel has wrought though is the broken world that was once Draenor, now commonly known as Outland.
9/19 17:54:26.077 Horkugal growls from underneath a heavy release of breath.
9/19 17:55:32.764 Alilliandra fidgets, her hands resting cross her knees as she listens, disturbed with the thought of Satyr having elven blood of any type.
9/19 17:56:05.327 Mal'valen says: The Eredar who had transformed into the Light-following Draenei we know of today fled to Draenor to escape Sargeras and his Burning Legion when the prophet Velen refused his offer of great power for his people. Unfortunately, they were found, and the world was torn apart. Many of the native people, the Orcs, took him up on his offer though, and were corrupted by the same powers the Draenei worked to escape.
9/19 17:57:49.342 Erier's right hand tightens into a fist as she snarls. A quiet creaking and grinding noise -might- be able to be heard, considering the area's quietness aside from Mal'valen.
9/19 17:58:37.092 Horkugal grunts harshly, near distastefully.
9/19 17:59:06.405 Mal'valen says: The former Kal'dorei Illidan Stormrage accepted Fel energy, thinking that he could "fight fire with fire," so to speak. He became a monster, a half-Demon man, and a pariah to his people.
9/19 17:59:43.327 Alilliandra wrinkles her nose and sneers at the name of the outcasted Stormrage.
9/19 17:59:54.874 Rayellan mutters something inaudible under her breath, her hands clenching into fists.
9/19 18:00:03.530 Mal'valen says: In all this time throughout this universe, can any one person say that any good has come from the power given to mortal-kind by the demons of the Twisting Nether?
9/19 18:00:33.905 Trinea drops the bits of grass to the ground, her hand instead reaching up to tug her hair over her shoulder. She starts pulling on it in another anxious gesture, slowly shaking her head.
9/19 18:00:54.624 Mal'valen says: Even if the corruption is used by one of our allies against an enemy, who's to say that they won't someday turn against us, completely brainwashed by this horrible magic?
9/19 18:01:06.874 Alilliandra glances at Trinea, taking notice of her nervous actions with a worried expression.
9/19 18:01:24.717 Erier nods in agreement at Mal'valen, accompanying it with an affirmative grunt.
9/19 18:01:27.655 Horkugal narrows his eyes, somewhat.
9/19 18:03:16.561 Mal'valen looks around with a grim expression on his features. "Shadow, my friends, is natural. Darkness happens. It happens every single day of our lives... But Fel. Fel is evil, tainted, corrupt, and destructive. Embrace the Shadow, but reject the Fel at all costs," he says.
9/19 18:03:38.796 Rayellan gives a sharp, firm nod of assent.
9/19 18:03:54.499 Mal'valen peers around a bit, then seems to lighten up somewhat. "Does anyone have comments or questions for me?" he asks.
9/19 18:04:13.936 Horkugal gives his head a slow shake.
9/19 18:04:16.624 Trinea shakes her head, staring at Mal'valen wordlessly.
9/19 18:04:41.171 Kaltheraa lets out a soft sigh as she looks up at her big brother.
9/19 18:04:43.655 Ormther shakes his head slowly, a smile still formed upon his old face.
9/19 18:04:51.499 Erier says: Couldn't be more true Mal. Forget bein' a priesty or whatever, spoken like a true shaman.
9/19 18:04:53.311 Erier grins wickedly at Mal'valen.
9/19 18:05:10.702 Mal'valen chuckles and grins at Erier. "Why, thank you," he responds, humoring her.
9/19 18:05:13.749 Trinea raises a brow and glances sidelong in Erier's direction.
9/19 18:05:42.905 Mal'valen says: If there are no questions, then I would like to say a prayer before we disperse.
9/19 18:05:55.358 Horkugal nods curtly, and offers a grunt.
9/19 18:06:03.014 Trinea nods, pulling herself to her knees and clasping her hands.
9/19 18:06:06.671 Mal'valen folds his hands together as he kneels.
9/19 18:06:09.467 Kaltheraa kneels down.
9/19 18:06:12.764 Alilliandra kneels down.
9/19 18:06:20.546 Rayellan bows her head, clasping her hands lightly behind her.
9/19 18:07:16.639 Erier eyes the others kneeling, she doesn't kneel herself but she gives a slight smirk and crosses her arms lightly, closing her own eyes but making no other gestures.
9/19 18:08:09.811 Mal'valen says: We pray to the Light and to the Shadow, to remain in balance, to protect us and guide us. May the Light bless us and heal us, and may the Shadow protect us from the evils we face each day.
9/19 18:08:12.608 Horkugal flicks a glance this way and that, as he takes note of the keneling Church-goers. Giving an inward grunt, the orc proceeds to incline his head forward.
9/19 18:08:55.936 Mal'valen says: May we keep in our hearts this balance, and reminds ourselves of what is natural and what is not. Let us not hate that which is misunderstood, but strive to understand that which we do not. In the balance of Light and Shadow, we pray. May it be so.
9/19 18:09:38.280 Alilliandra says: May it be so.
9/19 18:09:43.327 Mal'valen lowers his head and closes his eyes, sighing softly as his prayer ends.
9/19 18:10:01.202 Horkugal unbows his head.
9/19 18:10:06.311 Trinea clears her throat slightly and murmurs a quiet "...amen."
9/19 18:10:19.717 Kaltheraa murmurs, "Amen."
9/19 18:10:37.952 Mal'valen stands once more and smiles. "Thank you all for coming," he says.
9/19 17:34:15.217 Trinea glances toward a spot just behind Mal'valen and slowly sinks to the ground.
9/19 17:34:28.608 Horkugal settles down near Trinea, in a near protective fashion.
9/19 17:34:39.827 Nevistanza sighs quietly and gathers her robes around her before sitting on the ground.
9/19 17:34:47.061 Alilliandra settles to the grass, glancing about and rolling her shoulders in a light shrug.
9/19 17:34:58.639 Trinea looks back at Horkugal, slightly surprised, but some of the nervous tension leaves her.
9/19 17:35:11.327 Erier looks to Kaltheraa and nods to her with a grunt, even though she's basically doing it at her back where she can't see. Erier moves away from the others and looks out down the hill distantly where she stands.
9/19 17:35:29.514 Kaltheraa looks back at Erier, then smiles warmly to her.

9/19 17:41:35.686 From Mal'valen: "It's all right if you need to move, love."
9/19 17:41:36.921 Nevistanza smiles, happy Mal'valen decided to make such a strong gesture.
9/19 17:41:39.389 Rayellan arches an eyebrow, watching the priest intently.
9/19 17:41:45.530 Mal'valen says: Druids and Shamans believe in a balance within nature. Well, so too do Priests believe in Balance.
9/19 17:41:51.608 Trinea swallows hard and shakes her head slightly.
9/19 17:41:56.811 To Mal'valen: "I- I'm fine..."
9/19 17:42:00.858 Alilliandra nods at Mal'valen.
9/19 17:42:03.952 Lohken nods at the display.
9/19 17:42:28.171 Mal'valen says: Let's say that the sun is shining. It's bright, warm, helps plants grow and animals thrive, aye?
9/19 17:42:37.639 Kaltheraa tilts her head a bit as she listens to Mal'valen.
9/19 17:42:40.749 Horkugal flicks a glance towards the Priestess at his side, before centering it upon Mal'valen once more.

9/19 18:00:33.905 Trinea drops the bits of grass to the ground, her hand instead reaching up to tug her hair over her shoulder. She starts pulling on it in another anxious gesture, slowly shaking her head.
9/19 18:00:54.624 Mal'valen says: Even if the corruption is used by one of our allies against an enemy, who's to say that they won't someday turn against us, completely brainwashed by this horrible magic?
9/19 18:01:06.874 Alilliandra glances at Trinea, taking notice of her nervous actions with a worried expression.
9/19 18:01:24.717 Erier nods in agreement at Mal'valen, accompanying it with an affirmative grunt.
9/19 18:01:27.655 Horkugal narrows his eyes, somewhat.
9/19 18:03:16.561 Mal'valen looks around with a grim expression on his features. "Shadow, my friends, is natural. Darkness happens. It happens every single day of our lives... But Fel. Fel is evil, tainted, corrupt, and destructive. Embrace the Shadow, but reject the Fel at all costs," he says.
9/19 18:03:38.796 Rayellan gives a sharp, firm nod of assent.
9/19 18:03:54.499 Mal'valen peers around a bit, then seems to lighten up somewhat. "Does anyone have comments or questions for me?" he asks.
9/19 18:04:13.936 Horkugal gives his head a slow shake.
9/19 18:04:16.624 Trinea shakes her head, staring at Mal'valen wordlessly.
9/19 18:04:41.171 Kaltheraa lets out a soft sigh as she looks up at her big brother.
9/19 18:04:43.655 Ormther shakes his head slowly, a smile still formed upon his old face.
9/19 18:04:51.499 Erier says: Couldn't be more true Mal. Forget bein' a priesty or whatever, spoken like a true shaman.
9/19 18:04:53.311 Erier grins wickedly at Mal'valen.
9/19 18:05:10.702 Mal'valen chuckles and grins at Erier. "Why, thank you," he responds, humoring her.
9/19 18:05:13.749 Trinea raises a brow and glances sidelong in Erier's direction.
9/19 18:05:42.905 Mal'valen says: If there are no questions, then I would like to say a prayer before we disperse.
9/19 18:05:55.358 Horkugal nods curtly, and offers a grunt.
9/19 18:06:03.014 Trinea nods, pulling herself to her knees and clasping her hands.
9/19 18:06:06.671 Mal'valen folds his hands together as he kneels.
9/19 18:06:09.467 Kaltheraa kneels down.
9/19 18:06:12.764 Alilliandra kneels down.
9/19 18:06:20.546 Rayellan bows her head, clasping her hands lightly behind her.
9/19 18:07:16.639 Erier eyes the others kneeling, she doesn't kneel herself but she gives a slight smirk and crosses her arms lightly, closing her own eyes but making no other gestures.
9/19 18:08:09.811 Mal'valen says: We pray to the Light and to the Shadow, to remain in balance, to protect us and guide us. May the Light bless us and heal us, and may the Shadow protect us from the evils we face each day.
9/19 18:08:12.608 Horkugal flicks a glance this way and that, as he takes note of the keneling Church-goers. Giving an inward grunt, the orc proceeds to incline his head forward.
9/19 18:08:55.936 Mal'valen says: May we keep in our hearts this balance, and reminds ourselves of what is natural and what is not. Let us not hate that which is misunderstood, but strive to understand that which we do not. In the balance of Light and Shadow, we pray. May it be so.
9/19 18:09:38.280 Alilliandra says: May it be so.
9/19 18:09:43.327 Mal'valen lowers his head and closes his eyes, sighing softly as his prayer ends.
9/19 18:10:01.202 Horkugal unbows his head.
9/19 18:10:06.311 Trinea clears her throat slightly and murmurs a quiet "...amen."
9/19 18:10:19.717 Kaltheraa murmurs, "Amen."
9/19 18:10:37.952 Mal'valen stands once more and smiles. "Thank you all for coming," he says.
