    The following is a transcript of an RP session done 9-23-2012

    Part One
    'History and Legends of the Amazons'

    [Gwendolina]: Today I am going to talk to you about the History of the Amazons
    [Gwendolina]: The roots of who we are today
    [Aralu]: The rough old warrior, huge and brawn, drags in warily as her eyes scan corners and dark places. Like a guard dog she takes a spot on the wall so she can watch for others.
    [Gwendolina] sips her milk and looks around among the gathered sisters and smiles
    [Gwendolina]: Our beginnings take us far back in time
    [Gwendolina]: Back to before Stygia was a nation
    [Gwendolina]: At that time Stygia and Kush comprised of several tribes... some warring, some not
    [Bellonda]: hi Caryallice
    [Gwendolina] nods to Caryallice
    [Caryallice]: sisters
    [Delicta]: Greetings Sister
    [Zamali]: Hello Cary *smiles*
    [Darkbrynhild]: Hello Cary
    [Gwendolina]: The particular tribe our tale starts with has no name known to history
    [Caryallice]: apologies for my tardiness..battle in the Ravine...hard fought but won.
    [Gwendolina]: Shut up and sit, Cary *grins*
    [Chenza] chuckles
    [Caryallice] head down like a child but smiling
    [Gwendolina]: This particular tribe had the protection of a demon which walked the land in the guise of a Man-Tiger
    [Gwendolina]: A male mighty of stature but with a tigers head
    [Gwendolina]: The demon protected this tribe... at a price
    [Gwendolina]: It's price was, as it usually is in these cases, a woman of beauty
    [Gwendolina]: Which the demon would ravish and then eat
    [Gwendolina]: The women of this tribe were of course not particularly happy about their prospects
    [Gwendolina]: And together they prayed for deliverance
    [Gwendolina]: And their prayers were heard... By Morrigan... The mother of Battle and Love
    [Gwendolina]: She descended in mortal guise and took the place of the tigerdemons next sacrifice
    [Gwendolina]: Well....
    [Gwendolina] smirks
    [Gwendolina]: Basicly she rutted the demon unconcious..
    [Aralu] grins slightly.
    [Zamali] grins
    [Gwendolina]: and chained him up in stone; leaving only his ruby eyes alive
    [Delicta] snickers
    [Gwendolina]: And Morrigan gave the women of the tribe the means to overthrow the males of their society
    [Gwendolina]: Which they did... with no survivors
    [Gwendolina]: These women were the first Amazons
    [Gwendolina]: They were granted immortality by Morrigan
    [Gwendolina]: And was not depending on men in any way
    [Gwendolina]: except for sport
    [Gwendolina] winks
    [Chenza] whispers "That means breeding"
    [Delicta] blushes
    [Zamali] chuckles
    [Aralu] shrugs.
    [Gwendolina]: They would raid the nearby tribe for males
    [Gwendolina]: The survivors put in a pit to battle amongst themselves
    [Gwendolina]: The winner was deemed fit for breeding purposes
    [Gwendolina]: So birthrate was that damned high...
    [Gwendolina]: *wasn't
    [Gwendolina]: If the child born of the rutting was a male...
    [Gwendolina]: it was given to the tigers
    [Gwendolina] grimaces
    [Gwendolina]: One day an adventurer managed to survive both games and coupling
    [Gwendolina]: He was a thief..
    [Gwendolina]: And he stole the two ruby eyes of the Demon Tiger
    [Gwendolina]: Inadverdently freeing the demon
    [Gwendolina]: lifting the 'curse' of immortality
    [Delicta] wonders perhaps if this 'thief' wasn't another gods revenge on Morrigan
    [Gwendolina]: And the city of the Amazons crumbled to dust... With Amazons and everything else in it...
    [Gwendolina]: And the Amazons were gone....
    [Gwendolina]: for now..

    Part 2 (Continued)

    [Gwendolina]: Now fast forward in time
    [Zamali]: Just like a male to ruin everything... *shakes head*
    [Gwendolina]: Some decades ago, a woman walked these lands as we know them today
    [Gwendolina]: She had in her veins the ancient blood
    [Gwendolina]: And Morrigan saw this..
    [Gwendolina]: She tested the woman and called her fit to be her champion
    [Gwendolina]: She was our founder
    [Gwendolina]: Atalanta
    [Gwendolina]: A woman strong and fierce of spirit
    [Gwendolina]: And...
    [Gwendolina]: I am sorry to say...
    [Gwendolina]: Slightly mad
    [Gwendolina] grins
    [Gwendolina]: Not like this bunch here
    [Chenza] nods "Aye, she was."
    [Aralu]: *smiles with a fond, distant look in her eyes*
    [Caryallice] smiles
    [Zamali]: Oh I dont know about the not mad part, Gwen *smirks*
    [Gwendolina]: In other ways... But we'll get to that
    [Gwendolina]: Whatever Atalanta was... She was a leader
    [Gwendolina]: And from her arose the call of the old blood
    [Gwendolina]: Pure and primal
    [Gwendolina]: Calling out to her sisters..
    [Gwendolina]: And by instinct they found their way home
    [Gwendolina]: To Amazonia
    [Gwendolina]: The city we inhabit today
    [Gwendolina]: Built upon the ruins of the ancient amazon city
    [Gwendolina]: Atalanta was a leader..
    [Gwendolina]: And Amazons grew strong under her leadership
    [Gwendolina]: Strong my arms
    [Gwendolina]: *by
    [Gwendolina]: Strong by spirit
    [Gwendolina]: But these Amazons were a different kind than the amazons we are today
    [Aralu] hmphs softly.
    [Gwendolina]: Cruelty walked hand in hand with good deeds
    [Gwendolina]: A sister who left the guild, would be hunted down
    [Gwendolina]: Decapitated, her head left to rot on the battlements
    [Gwendolina]: No one spoke out against Atalanta.... and lived
    [Brynnach] offers a quiet greeting, then listens.
    [Chenza] smiles up at Brynnach and motions to the seat beside me
    [Brynnach] nods.
    [Darkbrynhild] motions to Brynnach to be seated
    [Gwendolina]: She ruled the Amazons with force and together they carved us a place in this world
    [Gwendolina]: Where we battled the mightiest
    [Gwendolina]: And could face them down too
    [Gwendolina]: In the words of Cirene..
    [Gwendolina]: We did not always win, but we were never defeated
    [Zamali] nods
    [Gwendolina]: One day...
    [Chenza] smiles
    [Gwendolina]: Morrigan called Atalanta to her...
    [Gwendolina]: She was given the choice to leave this world and become a part god
    [Gwendolina]: An Avatar of Morrigan
    [Gwendolina]: Atalanta threw her last siege at Oakenhome... and ascended..
    [Gwendolina]: And became the mouthpiece of Morrigan to the Amazons
    [Gwendolina]: Other Queens took over... Some names are mentioned... others were forgotten in history
    [Gwendolina]: However... was never changed was that Atalanta never let go of her iron-grip around the Amazons
    [Gwendolina]: A queen that failed to please her would be cast down
    [Gwendolina]: Another risen in her place whom Atalanta looked upon with favor
    [Gwendolina]: She took the name Matriarche... And the name Atalanta became forgotten
    [Chenza]: Not forgotten, lost to history... *grins*
    [Gwendolina]: From my personal perspective.. Atalanta's mind could not deal with the ascension
    [Chenza]: It's allways written down in a book somewhere, just have to find it.
    [Gwendolina]: She became paranoid and hungry for power
    [Chenza] nods
    [Gwendolina]: And the number of Queens she removed are lost to me
    [Chenza]: We know it was more then 10.
    [Gwendolina]: Which brings us closer to present day
    [Gwendolina]: A new Queen was raised... She was Sahrianna
    [Gwendolina]: She was a former officer of Atalanta's...
    [Gwendolina]: Unfortunately she was an example of an old saying..
    [Caryallice] raises eyebrows in interest
    [Gwendolina]: An excellent sergeant can make a bad captain and an even worse general...
    [Brynnach] listens on with interest.
    [Gwendolina]: And under her reign the flowers of Amazonia wilted...
    [Delicta] nods in agreement that command is not the same as leadership
    [Gwendolina]: In desperation she named two new officers
    [Gwendolina]: Two lasses green of the block, you might say
    [Gwendolina]: Khofliss
    [Gwendolina]: Lleilwin
    [Gwendolina]: Some of you may know these names
    [Zamali]: Aye, they are some names I recognise.
    [Gwendolina] grins
    [Zamali] smiles
    [Caryallice] smiles warmly
    [Gwendolina]: Well... Sahrianna eventually gave up
    [Gwendolina]: She went to Matriarche and admitted her failure
    [Gwendolina]: Khofliss went too
    [Gwendolina]: confirming Matriarche's worst fear
    [Gwendolina]: So Matriarche decided that the Amazons time in this land had passed
    [Gwendolina]: And she prepared to smite our city with Morrigan's heavenly wrath..
    [Chenza] smiles with sadness in my eyes
    [Gwendolina]: (OOC: She was going to disband the Amazons removing every damn thing in the guild - buildings, members, all)
    [Gwendolina]: And this is where Lleilwin spoke out
    [Gwendolina]: Saying that the spirit of the Amazons were not dead as long as she breathed
    [Gwendolina]: And that she would carry the spirit of the Amazons untill someone worthy could take over
    [Gwendolina]: Matriarche ignored Lleilwin's outburst and prepared to remove the city from the face of the earth
    [Gwendolina]: Now...
    [Gwendolina]: I have spoken to Khofliss about what happened
    [Gwendolina]: And from what she tells, Lleilwin almost grabbed Matriache by the throat; forcing to recognise her existence
    [Gwendolina]: And her will to be Amazon
    [Gwendolina]: And Matriache gave in..
    [Gwendolina]: And Lleilwin became the Queen of the Amazons
    [Chenza]: Aye it nearly came to blows. Lleilwin could be quite forcfull.
    [Gwendolina] chuckles
    [Gwendolina]: However..
    [Zamali] nods while listening closely
    [Gwendolina]: Amazons as a guild was still dead, no matter that Lleilwin had become Queen
    [Gwendolina]: Khofliss left the Amazons
    [Gwendolina]: To join another guild with, as she hoped, more future to it...
    [Gwendolina]: Later events proved her wrong, unfortunately...
    [Gwendolina] smiles sadly
    [Gwendolina]: But I am getting ahead of myself
    [Chenza] smiles
    [Gwendolina] takes her cup and wets her parched throat

    Default Part 3 (Final)

    Part 3 (final part)

    [Gwendolina]: So Lleilwin was Queen of an empty city... an empty guild...
    [Gwendolina]: I cannot imagine what a daunting task that must have been
    [Gwendolina]: But she didn't flinch one bit and set to work
    [Chenza]: Aye it was a vary sad time in our history...
    [Gwendolina]: She secured the return of some of the older sisters
    [Gwendolina]: Syeria, Jaieria, Twyg.....
    [Gwendolina]: She recruited new sisters
    [Gwendolina]: Chenza
    [Caryallice] smiles at hearing the names of her dear friends long ago
    [Gwendolina]: She recruited old sisters who had left the Amazons fleeing the wrath of the Matriarche
    [Gwendolina]: Safron
    [Gwendolina]: And many others, whose names escape me
    [Gwendolina]: These in turn recruited too
    [Gwendolina]: And Amazons started to flourish again
    [Gwendolina]: Lleilwin was known as the Crimson Queen
    [Chenza]: Also as The Wolf Rider.
    [Gwendolina]: A title Matriache bestowed her
    [Gwendolina] nods
    [Gwendolina]: Yes, but that was later, I think, Chenza
    [Chenza]: Ahh getting ahead of myself. *chuckles*
    [Gwendolina]: Crimson Queen for her fiery temper and the red hair of her Vanir descent
    [Gwendolina]: Lleilwin led the first Pact of Ignorance, gathering guilds in opposition to Satetka
    [Gwendolina]: Among these guilds were Invicta, The Shadowwalkers, and the heaven of the White Leopard
    [Gwendolina]: The meeting they held was to have dire consequences for the Amazons...
    [Chenza]: *cough* At that time i wasn't in Amazons
    [Chenza]: I was the Shadowwalkers representitive.
    [Gwendolina]: Amazons perked the interest of the guild leader of the Heaven of the White leopard
    [Gwendolina]: The same guild Khofliss had gone to
    [Gwendolina]: With Khofliss as go between she approached Queen Lleilwin asking for an alliance
    [Gwendolina]: And a pact was made
    [Gwendolina]: It lasted two days...
    [Chenza] chuckels
    [Gwendolina]: Baipao approached two sisters in the Serpent tavern
    [Zamali] smirks "Quite the pact"
    [Darkbrynhild]: very short lived
    [Gwendolina]: And under the guise of being allied..
    [Gwendolina]: She raped the mind of one of the sisters
    [Chenza]: Keep listening, this is where things get interesting...
    [Gwendolina]: With foul sorcery...
    [Brynnach] frowns a little.
    [Gwendolina]: The two sisters tried to keep their shame hidden from Lleilwin
    [Gwendolina]: But she learned
    [Gwendolina]: And her fury was great....
    [Gwendolina]: Chenza, were you there when this event took place?
    [Chenza]: The person raped was but a child... Her own inexperence in the ways of love kept her pure.
    [Gwendolina] nods
    [Chenza]: I was still an outsider in Shadowwalkers, but i knew all sides and heard what happened in detail.
    [Gwendolina]: Lleilwin confronted Baipao in public in the Serpent Tavern..
    [Chenza]: That i was there for...
    [Gwendolina]: Can you confirm that Lleilwin utterly humiliated Baipao?
    [Caryallice]: hello Cadha!
    [Chenza]: Aye it was quite the show.
    [Gwendolina] nods
    [Gwendolina]: Obviously the alliance was off
    [Cadha]: Greetings Dear Sisters, I am sorry I was late.
    [Gwendolina]: Baipao was furious
    [Delicta]: Greetings Sister
    [Brynnach] offers a casual wave.
    [Zamali] nods at Cadha "Hey Cadha"
    [Gwendolina]: Hello, m'love... *smiles*
    [Darkbrynhild] *waves silently to Cadha*
    [Gwendolina]: And the two sisters in question received a diciplinary punishment
    [Cadha]: Greetings Dear Sisters
    [Gwendolina]: But not like in the days of Atalanta
    [Gwendolina]: Lleilwin ordered them to braid their hair in pigtails
    [Delicta] laughs
    [Gwendolina]: and carry a doll
    [Zamali] giggles
    [Darkbrynhild] *smirks*
    [Delicta]: Now that IS shaming
    [Gwendolina]: Untill they were ready to act as grown-ups
    [Gwendolina] grins
    [Chenza]: During this time of punishment is when i left Shadowwalkers and became an Amazon.
    [Brynnach] snickers softly, finding this punishment both fitting and amusing.
    [Gwendolina]: This punishment would tell you a great deal of what sort of person Lleilwin was
    [Gwendolina]: But...
    [Gwendolina]: As I said
    [Zamali]: Aye, sounds like she had quite the sense of humour. *smiles*
    [Gwendolina]: Baipao was furious..
    [Caryallice] smiles at the thought of it
    [Gwendolina]: And she contacted Amazons individually to tell them of the 'madness of their regent'
    [Cadha] Listening she smiled quietly and blushed to herself, looking away in the distance as if in thought.
    [Delicta]: Lleilwin or Matriarche?
    [Gwendolina]: Lleilwin
    [Delicta]: Thank you for clarification Sister
    [Gwendolina] nods and smiles
    [Gwendolina]: Feel free to ask questions anytime
    [Darkbrynhild]: hmmm... seems the one pointing fingers was the one that was mad
    [Gwendolina]: And while most sister only had contempt for the creature known as Baipao
    [Gwendolina]: There were some that listened...
    [Delicta]: Sadly dark whispers always find willing ears :/
    [Cadha] Still looking away as in thought, she smiled, a wicked little grin.
    [Gwendolina]: It is also worth to notice that at this point, Khofliss, revolted by the actions of baipao returned to the Amazons
    [Fiala]: a'right whose nose do i be needer ter break ter get me a drink!
    [Caryallice]: Fia hello!
    [Caryallice]: Shh! sit here...have some of mine.
    [Gwendolina]: Shut your mug and sit, titan-woman
    [Gwendolina] grins
    [Aralu] glances down to a spot near her feet for Fiala.
    [Darkbrynhild] motions to Fi to sit
    [Caryallice] hands a half full mug to her Cimmerian sister
    [Fiala]: Dun nay make me come ova d'ere Gwen he tiny magnificent bitch! *shakes her fist in mock threat*
    [Gwendolina]: So there were sisters that spoke out against Lleilwin
    [Zamali] smiles at Fiala in silent greeting
    [Cadha] Tries to supress her wicked grin, and lifts an eye browl gazing up word.
    [Brynnach] glances at the Vanir for a moment.
    [Gwendolina]: Calling her powermad and that she treated the sisters like children
    [Cadha] Nodding her head she waved to Sister Fiala, an then pointed to the floor, nodding her head up an down in a yes motion.
    [Darkbrynhild] turns and waves to Fiala, then turns back to listen to Gwen weave the history of the Amazons into a magnificent tapestry of words
    [Cadha] With her hands she began to sign something in silence.
    [Gwendolina]: At this point I can only imagine what strain Lleilwin was under at that moment
    [Gwendolina]: But she was not going to bow her head
    [Gwendolina]: So in response to Baipao's slander
    [Caryallice] takes the mug back from Fia and offers a horn of something stronger *whispers* drink this you crazy girl...picking a fight with our regent...you'll get your self killed...*smiles and winks at her*
    [Gwendolina]: She breached the defenses of the guild city of Baipao along with her officer Syeria
    [Gwendolina]: and killed every damn guard she could find in there
    [Fiala] Takes the horn then knocks it back with barely any hesitation
    [Caryallice] hmm returns her focus to Gwen
    [Gwendolina]: They defaced every monument of Baipao they could find
    [Gwendolina]: And left only civilians alive when they left
    [Gwendolina]: And naturally baipao was livid
    [Gwendolina]: intensifying the slander
    [Gwendolina]: And more sister spoke out against Lleilwin
    [Gwendolina]: Eventually the criticism broke Lleilwin
    [Gwendolina]: And she resigned her post as Queen and put Chenza in charge until Matriarche could decide what to do
    [Gwendolina]: There is a lot of tight lips about what happened exactly
    [Gwendolina]: But in the end Lleilwin was reinstated back on her throne
    [Gwendolina]: And peace settled
    [Gwendolina]: for about a minute
    [Gwendolina] sips her milk
    [Zamali] grins
    [Gwendolina]: Though Lleilwin and those sisters had made peace
    [Gwendolina]: Matriache decided to interfere
    [Gwendolina]: She cast out a sister who offended her eyes
    [Gwendolina]: And when Chenza protested this, she was also cast out of the Amazons
    [Delicta] wonders how Morrigan chose so poorly her Avatar
    [Gwendolina]: Matriarche did this with no notification to Lleilwin... or consulting
    [Gwendolina]: But Lleilwin would not accept the decision
    [Cadha] Twitching, she returns her gaze to Gwendolina, a look of finally being startled, as if out of thought, on her face.
    [Gwendolina]: A meeting was held in our city
    [Gwendolina]: And it was decided that the Amazons were no longer beholden to the Matriarche
    [Gwendolina]: The Amazons were preparing to leave the city...
    [Gwendolina]: When one of Lleilwin's officers, Syeria, spoke out
    [Gwendolina]: She was a former aide of Atalanta while she still walked this earth...
    [Gwendolina]: And she approached Matriarche, appealing to the remains of her humanity
    [Gwendolina]: And out of old friendship towards Syeria
    [Gwendolina]: Matriarch granted our city to Lleilwin and the Amazons
    [Gwendolina] takes a deep breath
    [Gwendolina]: And that... dear sisters...
    [Gwendolina]: Is how we became The Amazons...
    [Gwendolina] looks around
    [Delicta] cheers!
    [Brynnach] politely applauds.
    [Gwendolina]: The story is far from over... But for today it is
    [Gwendolina] smiles
    [Gwendolina]: Thank you for your attention
    [Chenza]: Are there any questions?
    [Zamali] smiles warmly
    [Zamali]: A wonderful story Gwen. Very enlightening.
    [Fiala] Belches loudly from having taken another pull form the horn
    [Fiala]: ...sorry
    [Brynnach]: T'was an interesting story indeed.
    [Darkbrynhild]: Thank you Gwen for sharing your knowledge and in such an artful manner
    [Chenza] claps "Vary nicely done Gwen, Thank you sister."
    [Delicta]: (was Morrigan real?)
    [Cadha]: ( still is far as I know )
    [Aralu]: (Excellent work.)
    [Gwendolina]: (Morrigan is still the protector of the Amazons
    [Gwendolina]: Now sisters
    [Delicta]: (I meant an actual character in game)
    [Chenza]: (Morrigan is the Hyborian goddess of War and Love. She is real in the history of Hyboria)
    [Gwendolina]: I would like to conclude this session with an old custom
    [Gwendolina]: The Amazon prayer to Morrigan
    [Chenza]: ((Do you mean Matrearch/Atlantia?))
    [Gwendolina] lifts her chin slightly
    [Gwendolina]: Grant us passion in battle
    [Gwendolina]: Honor in death
    [Gwendolina]: And the wisdon to know the difference
    [Gwendolina]: Watch over us, oh mighty goddess Morrigan
    [Darkbrynhild] sits ever so solemnly intent on Gwen's words and the spirit they evoke
    [Cirene]: *clatters down the steps, cracking her neck*
    [Gwendolina]: May your dark wing embrace
    [Gwendolina]: and guide your daughters to victory
    [Gwendolina] bows her head slightly
    [Gwendolina]: Strength and honor, sisters
    [Darkbrynhild]: Strength and Honor
    [Zamali]: Strength and honour!
    [Delicta]: Strength and Honor
    [Chenza]: Strength and Honor sisters
    [Cadha] Bows her head for a moment, silent, before looking up to speak.
    [Gwendolina]: And thank you for attending
    [Cadha]: Strength and Honor!
    [Aralu]: Strength and Honor.
    [Gwendolina]: Now... For those interested there will be some martial lessons
    [Fiala]: Strength n Honour!
    [Delicta]: Thank you most kindly Sister Gwendolina. Your tale was entrancing
    [Brynnach] adds a belated "Strength and Honour"....
    [Cirene]: What'd I miss?
    [Gwendolina]: It is now your tale as well, sister Delicta
    [Chenza]: (To answer the question Matrarch/Atlantia was real, Morrigan is real in the the land of Hyboria. She is a god, like Set or Mitra is)
    [Gwendolina] looks at Cirene and grins "Everything?"
    [Delicta]: (that was the gist of my question. thank you Chenza)
    [Cadha] Nodding her head, she said nothing, breathing in slowly, as if in thought.
    [Zamali] looks to Cirene "Hey Cirene, you only missed an epic tale... so not much at all"
    [Darkbrynhild]: aye teach us to be great in battle that we may embody the Strength and Honor of the Amazons
    [Aralu] glances over Cirene once, then to Zamali.


    *This is the end of this gathering and storytelling session. But not the end of the history of The Amazons. More Amazon RP Postings to follow. -Chenza *

    Default Clarifications

    The following is parts of the discussion involving the original posted storytelling above (as posted on The Amazons web site). While it was a good story and fun in it's telling and reading there are a few inaccuracy's that need to be cleared up. -Chenza

    Posted By Syeira (One of our oldest sisters who was there)-
    Matriarche did NOT threaten to take the city. The idea that she might, or that I would kick people from the guild at her request, was born out of paranoia from people who should have known better. I was a General at the time & was loyal to Lleilwin, the sisters and Matriarche, yet because of my friendship with the latter was excluded from the meeting & treated with contempt. I asked that our records acknowledged this fact since I feel uneasy about re-joining a guild where I, and someone I think of as a friend, are portrayed in such a negative light.

    [Gwendolina]: The same Sy who secured our City
    [Gwendolina]: From Matriarche

    This is exactly the RP lore I do not enjoy reading or will be party to. Again, M did NOT threaten to take the city. As for my actions, I merely spoke with M explaining that there was to be a split, which I felt would be in everyone's best interests & avoid further conflict. Lleilwin & I both agreed that it would be better if I deliver this news to M. It was accepted graciously and we went our separate ways.

    [Chenza]: Now as with all families, and when you have strong willed sisters who are not afraid to speak there mind. Feathers tend to get ruffled.
    [Chenza]: First not long after our split from Amazonia we lost Sy... She left because she seemed to always find nothing but sisters together hiding up in building sharing the joy's of sisterhood with each other *glances at Khofliss*
    [Khofliss]: There were likely other reasons as well

    Yes there were. The guild as a whole was at fault. To me it didn't deliver on the Amazon theme (Strength & Courage, Honor & Wisdom, Loyalty & duty), but felt more like a brothel. Syeira was / is a proud Amazon who stands for these things so I felt it wasn't right to remain in a guild I was, for want of a better word, ashamed to be part of. We were not whores, yet we acted like it. I had seen that sort of behavior in the Amazons of Hyboria and didn't want to see history repeat itself, so under protest, I left. FYI though, I support the loving relationships that I see are part of the Amazons today. What I speak of back then was very different behavior.

    [Gwendolina]: A new Queen was raised... She was Sahrianna
    [Gwendolina]: She was a former officer of Atalanta's...
    [Gwendolina]: Unfortunately she was an example of an old saying..
    [Caryallice] raises eyebrows in interest
    [Gwendolina]: An excellent sergeant can make a bad captain and an even worse general...
    [Brynnach] listens on with interest.
    [Gwendolina]: And under her reign the flowers of Amazonia wilted...
    [Delicta] nods in agreement that command is not the same as leadership
    [Gwendolina]: In desperation she named two new officers
    [Gwendolina]: Two lasses green of the block, you might say
    [Gwendolina]: Khofliss
    [Gwendolina]: Lleilwin

    Sahrianna was simply a figurehead, an alt (on a F2P account since she was intended to be shared - giving the impression of an active Queen regardless of timezone). The guild was run by an appointed council of three. It was ultimately their failings, not those of an individual, which damaged the guild. As for the guild itself, we were only just starting up - It was not the same guild lead & nurtured by Atalanta - The Amazons of Hyboria. Under Sahrianna the foundations of what you see today were laid, it just didn't flourish (for various reasons) until more recently, under new leadership and the efforts & support of the sisters (which were lacking in those days).


    The discussion on our forums continues. but that basically clarifies most of the inaccuracy's. I'd like to also Clarify That back when these things happened i was but a member with no access to the officers forums to view the discussions that had taken place.

    Some of what i stated unintentionally painted Sy in a bad light. As i stated in our forums when this happened this was NOT my intent. Sy is a wonderful person and a good friend who literally taught me what it means to be an Amazon on the second day I was in this guild. I owe her a lot and i apologize again for painting her in such a poor light. Strength and Honor sister -Chenza
