 Topic: >The Order of Istari 
’When maybe a thousand years had passed, and the first shadow had fallen on Greenwood the Great, the
Istari or Wizards appeared in Middle-earth. It was afterwards said that they
came out of the Far West and were messengers sent to contest the power of Sauron,
and to unite all those who had the will to resist him; but they were forbidden
to match his power with power, or to seek to dominate Elves or men by
force and fear.’ (Click

serve? Visit The Istaquenta page, calculate your magic/Valar points and
you are ready to become a wizard *

More likely I'll scare off any newbie who happens around.
You realise these threads are basically spam-central, these days? Or at least chat-central?  |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Hmm Nineran..I think that this place is real serious, yes it is. *thwacks Sovielus`s hat off* And people think of me as being silly, right.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Morgray, I was wondering if you were interested in this thread I'm running? I dropped you an email at the MSN contact in your profile. Check and let me know?
(A Synonym For A Bump) |

|
|
| |||
|
Oh fine.
This goes out to any new souls who happen to poke your head in. We really aren't as bad as Morgray may make it look like  Ok, that was my last one. Seriously though, the Order of Istari are the best ever! I mean, really, we have MAGIC! |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
The last time..? I seriously doubt that. But anyway, you`re right, wizards do rock..who could resist those bearded, old grandpas..
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
I resent your baseless allegations! Old grandpas indeed!!
WE are women, some of us. Although I have as NPCs a) an old cleaning woman with no magical powers b) an evil wizard c) assorted other characters, including a tiny blue creatures [race unknown]. Alright, I need moral support - when you two have time - here . |

Random bump because it's been over a day since anyone posted here.
Anybody want cookies? I have some. One istari adventure (set about the time of the TABA) is Something Blue.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
*eats all the cookies* Now, what were you talking about Nin? *grins* It`s good that you posted those linkies, anyway *Something Blue* already has a link at the opening post. Nobody wants to miss that, I`m sure of it.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Morgray, I hate pointless posts (like this one) -- and no one I know reads the OP. So everytime I post, I'll add a spammy type advertisement.
*bakes more cookies - adds a dash of poison* Have some more, Great Gandalf? |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
*gives an awesome Gandalf bump to the thread* C`mon people, don`t just watch..get yourself in here, nobody`s gonna eat you...*gives a suspicious look towards the Uruk*Nin - spammy-type advertisement? Now, that sounded honestly! |
|||
|
||||
 |
| |||
|
*meanders in*
hmmmm... Are you guys recruiting? |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Yes Faldras, very much so. Are you interested in joining us perhaps? If you are, that would be nice and do ask if you want to know anything, I`ll be here to answer your questions.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
I have been feeling a strange sort of pull towards Isengard these past few days; though, I imagine it's much different from what it was when I was last there.
While I'm trying to make up my mind, could you perhaps tell me what makes Isengard different from the other kingdoms? |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
First of all Faldras - you have a choice to RP both evil and good character as you see fit. I know you are aware of that since you were here before I got my hat on. *g* We have some of most dedicated members, a fair community which sticks together in all times, we hold all of our members as equal but there are times when one has to do things to prove himself to be worthy of the wizard mantle. Being a Istari isn`t an easy life, as we must be cautious how to RP in other kingdoms because of the Istaquenta and how the rules of magic apply to us among the free people of Middle-earth.
>>> The Istaquenta <<< Check it out, you will find some interesting choices for your character as we already have several RPG`s to involve deep magic use...and there is still more to come.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
That sounds good. When the Istaquenta was first developed it was awesome, but there just didn't seem to be anywhere to use it.
Which RPG's are you referring to?
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Faldras ~ Come back, come back, the hat is calling you! Let the old wizzie awake...
Wait, you don't want a song? Oh, ok then... Not many of those star wars - building a rocketship type thing anymore. We have one semi-cannon RPG Something Blue (Undying Lands subforum RPG). in which there will be magic use. One cannon RPGs that prefers elven characters The Flight of the Noldor (Undying Lands subforum RPG) but needs absolute cannon if you join as an istar. Rooms of Orthnac, you know, you can free-RP. One race for istari, and one RPG coming up with will allow use of Magic. *Sigh* I'm plotting one that I hope will actually *work.* Maybe one of those old silly-serious ones. But that's still a personal plot. Have any ideas? |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Funny you should say that Faldras, I thought the same as you a while back. But we've changed a few rules around now. I think just about every RP has to follow the rules put forth by the Istaquenta. This stops wizzies from being able to god mod or be extremely cheap in their abilities.
I actually follow the Istaquenta even if the rules say I don't have to. I helps make my character more unique. Also, seeing as how you are a minion currently, Isengard is much better for you. You see, we let our Istari take showers  so you can finally clean all that soot off of your body! |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Showers, you say? Not a requirement, I hope. *g*
I'm not much for historical RPGs, but seeing the word 'd20' makes me smile. And Something Blue looks interesting. I nearly opened a Blue Wizards RPG once; it will be interesting to see the direction it goes and how it compares to what I had in mind. I guess I wouldn't have to join Isengard to be in those RPGs, but nevertheless the wizard in me is crying out. *digs hat out of the closet and brushes dust off it* |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
YAY Faldras! I'll see you there, and if you have any ideas - including the use of d20, I'll be ever so grateful!

Hey all, new wizzie here and excited to see what the Plaza/Isengard has to offer. Any recommendations/pointers for someone who just wants to have fun? I'm a real RPing-focused sort of person, never really had the 'lore thing' in me.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Greetings, Idhrenohtar! I`m glad to see you wearing that pointed hat, and you sure have a nice beard.
First of all, do check the Istaquenta (picture link, just under the banner) and choose your Vala association and calculate your magic points. We have several RPG`s running and there will be more soon. Regarding the lore, it`s not something which we require by any standards, we only want you to have fun in Isengard and wear your hat with pride. |
|||
|
||||
 |
| |||
|
Hey I think that we have to try and draw the attention of new plaza members here. The young wizzie looks around confused in the thread for getting new members. He was thinking that they were trying to draw in the attention of younger ones to grow the population of Isengard but he only seems to be seeing old faces. Where are all the young members going.
We need to blow out some of them new soul candles and then kindle them into one of us
He then ponders on the statement and thinks to himself "Oh what the greed of a wizard can bring about"

Idrenhotar ~ Something blue *Shamelessly advertises her thread* is set about the time of the hobbit.
Flight of the Noldor is completely cannon. WE have another istari-specific thread coming up. Ironman (I'll hunt up link) is a race based on valar powers.... Something Blue (Undying Lands subforum RPG) The Flight of the Noldor (Undying Lands subforum RPG) |
|||
|

|
|
| |||
|
Ohh, what a lovely name for a Uruk.
*bumps the thread with a pointed stick*
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
It's the discworld mania hereabouts.
|
|||
|
||||
 |
| |||
|
What is this inactivity here?
 Be active or else..I'll play you one Teräsbetoni song. Trust me, you can't handle that
|
|||
|
||||
 |
| |||
|
A tall white candle with a flame that burned strongly entered the scene. The flame whipped angrily in the nonexistant wind.
"What is this I hear?," the candle said loudly with a mouth no candle has. "Who wants to blow out some of them new soul candles? I strongly object to that! Some wizard better be careful or it might end with him getting burned. A statement like that can draw attention not intended."  (I guess I better add a smiley.)
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Itania, m'dear, no offence meant, I'm sure The uruk bared his horrible teeth in a awful imitation of a smile. But wouldn't ye like a nice black hat instead of the flame?
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
The white candle, pure as newfallen snow, looked at the uruk with large innocent eyes. The dark uruk and the white candle looked like each others opposites. She took one step back when the uruk made a horrible grimace.
"A black hat?", she repeated slowly. "I'm not so sure it would go well with my complexion." |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Well, what about a red one? the uruk asked, Red as rust, not ... not... blood. Apparently it was very difficult for the creature to say "no" and "blood" in the same breath. And the hat would protect your complexion. If there was a greedy look in the uruk's eyes, well, that was normal. Uruks were greedy creatures.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Great, I'm gone for a little bit and already one of our Uruk is insulting new souls.
You know, since we are magical, we can always make your candle bigger or make it more fancy, if that's what you fancy.  Yea, go Isengard! |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Sov! You broke my heart! *The uruk runs away, sobbing ugly tears*
Soon, I'll have my favourite wizardly icon - the bestest ever! *hums* |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Dear me, I didn't mean to be offensive. Just try to be nice to the new ones.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Sov, I wasn't offended. I am nice to newbies. Itania is a really, really, really old member. *sigh* Anybody registered 2005 or with a certain number of points who comes in here would have met the uruk - everybody else Nineran.
Now there's only the Pilgrim, and she's batty, but she's nice. Don't worry  |
|||
|
||||
 |
| |||
|
I have but one thing to say...
 |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Hi Curunder, long time no see.
And I like that wizzie with a pointed finger, sure looks intimidating...
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Morgray, it's based on Uncle Sam wants you ad for the United States (military, I think
)
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Hehe, for one who`s obsessed with teal I sure sound dumb.
C`mon newbies, we aren`t scary at all.. well most of us aren`t.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
You certainly are scary to real n00bs with your impressive faced. Now, hardly anyone notices little old me with my grey hat and white cloak.
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
For some reason, due to Morgray's naiveness, I don't think he's from the US. All I can think of now that I see Uncle Sam is "I want you.... I want you so baaaaad it's drivin' me mad it's drivin' me mad!" Thank you Across the Universe.
Morgray, you're the first ruler that I knew before you came a ruler, so you're not as scary as the other ones. So all you newbs that are coming in, you should know that us wizards are probably the least scariest kingdom out there... Except for of course Blade... |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Nah, Day is not scary at all. Normal wizards on the other hand ---
*starts a fireball war* |
|||
|
||||
 |
| |||
|
*Gets whacked in the head with a fireball, picks it up, and plops it in her mouth* Mmm! Atomic and cinnamony-flavored! |
|||
|

|
|
| |||
|
*throws a lllama at Nineran*
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
Aeo, thou art nuts! Eatin' fireballs! Child, does no one ever feed you? *Whips out chocolate chip cookies, freshly baked by Missy and stolen by me and offers*
Curunder, llamas are not funny! *ducks under granny's old sofa* *throws orange bunny at Curunder* |
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
What`s this all about, behave kids! *throws a herd of pinky bunnies of doom towards everyone* Have at thee !
|
|||
|
||||
|
|
| |||
|
|
|||
|
||||
*Scoops up a pink bunny and bops it on the head*
|
|
| |||
|
Drags out a bunch of little goats for Morgray to yell at, seeing as how they are kids.
WE are venerable adults, we are. *scoops another pink bunny and flings at Morgray* Oh. If that's the case, Aeodet, we shall ... *steals the back of fireballs from her* |
