Scribe Summit - 2 - Initiate Opening Ceremony 9.30-10am

[09:26] Hermes (prinzensaft): We had arranged a speech now by me and Abraham to open the summit, with a blessing by the initiates.

[09:30] Hermes (prinzensaft): Scribes and scholars, Isfahani and friends,

[09:30] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: It is an immense pleasure for me to bid you welcome in the name of Isfahan to this Se'Kara Scribe Summit.

[09:30] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: Isfahan only hosts it but did not organize it, apart from some leisurely events. We are happy and honored to offer the venue of our new House of Wisdom to accommodate the honorable Scribe caste of Gor. Construction is still in process, so please be indulgent if all is not yet as it should be.

[09:31] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: We dearly thank the organizers, Abraham Jacobson and his family and Myriam of Lame Kaiila to have set up the schedule.

[09:31] Sigfrid Avro (yexing) smiles to his chamour

[09:31] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: So - if you have questions or proposals -  please address yourself to Abraham or Myriam for everything pertaining to the schedule and to me for everything pertaining to the venues where the meetings will happen.

[09:31] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: I offered a tour of the House of Wisdom before for those who want to discover this House that is consecrated to the research of scholars and the activities of scribes, and will do it again later on today at 4pm slt if there is demand for it.

[09:32] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: Concerning the program, I thought that amidst all the serious and in part combative business that we as scribes conduct here, like the standardization of the calendar, it might be welcome to have some more easygoing breaks. That is why I want to draw your attention to the entertaining program around the scribe meetings.

[09:32] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): Thank you Hermies

[09:32] Hermes (prinzensaft): My name is Hermes, Abraham

[09:33] Roshan Himura Boa (aarondaegal) Laughed hearing him complaining about the beard again and looked rather serious "Look at your father, do you think he is still growing?" he refers to the missing beard "You already have more hear at your face than him. You are at the growing finish line" whispering to not disturb the opening

[09:34] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: Oh one word about the sim settings.... We suspended the landing point for now for your convenience so you may even tp around.

[09:35] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: That is all from my side for now. I wish you much fun and inspiration and pass the word now to Abraham, hoping the blessed ones will show up to do bring the blessing of the Priest-Kings upon us!

[09:39] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): Done

[09:39] Hermes (prinzensaft): Thank you Abraham!

[09:40] Hermes (prinzensaft): we are all grateful to the huge amount of time and work you invested in this!

[09:40] ƈɨʟɨӼ Ӽʊռ (xunfu) nods

[09:43] Melampus (godhet): Exalted Khan, Esteemed Prince, dear organizers and participants of the Scribe Summit in Isfahan:

[09:43] Melampus (godhet): I greet the organizers and participants of the Scribe Summit in Isfahan and would like to express my joy that we are able to host this important congress in our city of Isfahan this year.

[09:43] Sigfrid Avro (yexing) rezzes his right hand on his heart "My blessed one"

[09:44] Melampus (godhet): The Scribe caste is one of the most respected and exalted castes, and not without reason, as it bears a great deal of responsibility:

[09:44] Melampus (godhet): Responsibility in the administration of a city, responsibility in jurisprudence, responsibility in research, responsibility in the documentation and interpretation of what happened in the past and what is happening in our time.

[09:45] Melampus (godhet): It is not without reason, therefore, that the virtues and duties that lead a scribe to the desired perfection are often spoken of. Perfection is that which makes the scribe, as well as the members of the other castes and the community in which they live, appear pleasing in the eyes of the priest-kings.

[09:46] Melampus (godhet): Even the earliest scribes on our planet summarized their virtues in four terms: wisdom, courage, prudence, and justice. All four virtues depend on each other, for without one, the others cannot exist.

[09:46] Melampus (godhet): Wisdom is certainly the first thing we associate with the scribes. It's not without reason that the House of the Scribes, where we gather, is called the "House of Wisdom." Without wisdom, there is no counsel, no sound decisions.

[09:46] Aza (azara.magic) is offline.

[09:47] Melampus (godhet): Prudence is as much a part of wisdom as one twin brother is of another. Reflection is necessary to act wisely and to make wise decisions.

[09:48] Melampus (godhet): The third is justice, which is based on wisdom and prudence. Justice is exercised in many areas, especially, of course, in the administration of justice, the drafting, and the application of laws.

[09:49] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran) nods appreciatively.

[09:49] Melampus (godhet): Bravery or courage might be more commonly associated with the warrior caste, but it's also important for scholars: In research, the courage to explore new paths and develop theories. In jurisprudence, the courage to pronounce and enforce wise and just decisions, even when conflicting interests stand in the way. All of this requires bravery.

[09:49] Avery Bade (freyadragonborn) is offline.

[09:50] Melampus (godhet): The opposites of all these are injustice, negligence, cowardice, and rashness. The sum of these vices is a depravity to which both the individual and a community fall prey when the four virtues are neglected.

[09:51] Melampus (godhet): As we begin the Scribe Summit, we ask the Priest-Kings to guide the scribes and strengthen their wisdom, their justice, their prudence, and their courage.

[09:54] Melampus (godhet) raises his arms in blessing: "And so I call down the blessing of the Priest-Kings upon this Summit and the community of debaters. Grant it good fellowship and good insights."

[09:55] Melampus (godhet): Ta Sardar Gor!

[09:55] Hermes (prinzensaft) shouts: Ta Sardar Gor!

[09:55] Davor O'Donnell (davoroflaura): "Ta Sadar Gor."
