In this return to our fabled God Blogs, our very own Mysrai talks us through what it was like for Them to step into the Elder Divine’s very large shoes.

Retiring from Mysrai: Nothing but Love, Love, Love

Five years ago, Mysrai came into being under circumstances outlined here: https://www.lusternia.com/near-misses-becoming-mysrai. Now, at the end of that five years, I have removed that hat, and many masks, and am, as Zvoltz put it, returning to dust. It’s been a good, and glorious run, but life is simply to busy now to do Mysrai justice…

On Kate von Roeder

Kate von Roeder, formerly Visaeris, is dead. Many of you are aware from the forum threads. And now, I find myself with the second post this year about suicide. Again, someone I knew. Fantastically talented, passionate, willful, always brilliant and interesting. Kate epitomized some of the best and worst qualities, but she never did it…

The Occult and Cultists

There’s only thirty rank positions in a Divine Order. This is hard-coded in. No amount of begging, pleading, and even tricking a brief change through on Iosai (that broke everything) that was swiftly redacted, has won me any kind of slack in that realm. As I came to find out in the early days of…

Four Lovesongs to Fair Cities

I’m a city girl. I was born in the Midwest, in a city more renowned for snow than for the wide and varied gardens, broad, placid lakes, and the multitude of bookstores scattered across the glacial landscape. When I moved for the first time, it was to the outskirts of another city, one of the…

Out of the Box: Gods at Play

I’ve met a lot of the admin staff over the past few years that I’ve been volunteering for Lusternia. Since we tend to be rather monolithic, I’d like to share a few stories about them. I’d like to talk about what we get up to when we get together to drink, to talk, to compare…

Mystics and Madmen

Gaudiguch is a city of contradictions and a city of passions. It has to be. After all, the main focus of the city is on frivolous revelry, on drunken, debaucherous celebration, and on tearing down the old in pursuit of the new. It’s a city of Freedom, a city of Revolution, and a city where…
