// After some Troll bashing Glorfindel and Finarfin are at the orctower
// Glorfindel offered priesthood to finarfin some time ago and decided today
// should be the day where finarfin gains it.

You say in quenya: Well, friend.
You say in quenya: Hand me your pendant and cowl and return back to the
temple. Speak some prayers while you return there. I will catch up with you.
I think today should be your day.

Finarfin removes a silver pendant.
Finarfin removes a cowl.
Finarfin gives you a white cowl.
Finarfin gives you a silver pendant.
You say in quenya: Luthien will let you in.
Finarfin nods solemnly.
You are still on your feet.
Finarfin bows gracefully to you.
You say in quenya: I will catch up with you.
Finarfin graciously leaves down.

// telling finarfin not to say a word till i arrive
You close your eyes and concentrate upon your target. Then you start to
chant a prayer.

Suddenly the web covering your skin starts to hum softly and silver flames
start to dance across your skin, spreading from your hands. Warmth rushes
across your skin.

While you're continuing your prayer you point with your hand into the sky.

You sent your thoughts.

The net covering your skin stops to hum and the flames vanish,leaving you filled with delight and awe.

You reached the roof of the tower. You can see the forest from here. The
ceiling consist in nearly rotten planks, but at least, it will offer some
protection against the criminal weather around here. Spying around, you
notice two large piles in a corner of the north wall, a pile of bones...
and, ye gods! A pile of fresh corpses!
There is one obvious exit: down.
A bunch of rusty keys and a corpse of a brown skinned stinking neuter troll.
// sneaking back

The temple of Taniel.
The sanctum of this temple is one of the most impressive places you ever
saw. Myriads of lit candles illuminate the temple and the flickering light
sparkles in the surface of gold, silver, platinum, gems and other valuable
materials which decorate the room and nearly each other part of the
furniture. An aura of peace and order fills the entire hall and next to the
northern wall you can see a large jade altar with engraved runes and
symbols. Above the altar a huge painted crystal window decorated the wall
and the ceiling is covered with frescos and ornaments. A small bronze
plaque is fixed next to the entrance.
A closed northern ornamented gate leads north.
There is one obvious exit: south.
A donation box.
Aenlyren, Clothsulirith, Elesariala, Finarfin is
resting here, Luthien and Xeonales.
Aenlyren bows gracefully to you.
Clothsulirith bows gracefully to you.
Aenlyren raises his hand and greets you!
Clothsulirith smiles slightly.
Elesariala tells you in common language: Greetings Father
Archbishop, good to have you back.
Luthien tells you in common language: Greetings Father Archbishop, good
to have you back.
Finarfin stands up.
Finarfin bows quietly to you.

Hmmmmm.
You nod slightly.
.. You hear a clicking sound and the rattling noise of some mechanism coming
from the gate.
You say in quenya: Go north, brother.
You smile at Finarfin.
The northern ornamented gate opens.
Finarfin graciously leaves north.
Inside the cathedral of Taniel.
Iretnel tells Finarfin in common language: Greetings Initiate of Taniel.
You hear a clicking sound and the rattling noise of some mechanism coming from the gate.
Finarfin nods quietly.
You say in quenya: Kneel down brother.
// actuall happening start

Finarfin bows his head.
You emote: Glorfindel grows silent, starting to pray.
You emote: Glorfindel lays one hand on Finarfin's forehead.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: Oh Taniel, hear my words.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: In front of me Finarfin, our brother kneels.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: He Is your servant since a very long time.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: He Is your initiate, he is following your
path.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: Your power is with him and he executes your will.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: Today we came in front of you.
The pillar of blue fire flickers slightly.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: To request for him that he might be rised to
the priesthood, so that he might spread your word into the world.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: He shall bear your sign and he shall follow
your path.
You emote: Glorfindel chants: He shall be your servant forever.
You emote: Glorfindel finishes his prayer.
You emote: Glorfindel turns around to Finarfin.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: You might be rised to priesthood in his
will.
Finarfin nods quietly.
You bow slightly.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: The lord will want you as his priest.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: You shall fulfill his will, as you always
did.
Finarfin says in quenya: I will accept whatever Taniel will lay upon
my shoulders
You tell Finarfin in quenya: But, being priest means you will be fully
responsible to your actions.
A thick cloud of incense wafts past you.
Finarfin nods seriously.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: Also you will be responsible for actions
of the initiates, like i am.
Finarfin nods seriously to you.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: Like from yorac, i will request from you
to help in their rising and training.

You tell Finarfin in quenya: For the pilgrems is the same.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: You shall have an eye on them.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: Now rise, Finarfin.
Finarfin nods seriously.
You emote: Glorfindel makes an gesticure to show Finarfin to stand up.
Finarfin stands up again.
You nod silently.
You emote: Glorfindel takes a cowl and lies it around Finarfin's shoulders.
Finarfin looks at the cowl.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: It's a common thing that new priests
choose a time of silence where they only speak throug gestures and
thoughts. You can choose yourself if you want to encourage that time of
silence. It would bring you close to Taniel.
Finarfin nods solemnly.
You say in quenya: Well, then I think this was a yes.
Finarfin nods seriously.
You emote: Glorfindel lays a pendant around finarfins neck.
Finarfin nods smilingly to you.
You tell Finarfin in quenya: I am glad you finally found the way.
You sit down to rest a while.
Finarfin twinkles his eyes brightly.
