Morgan Cerendor's Prayers to Jax

[7632]

*A log of Morgan Cerendor's Prayers to Jax at the Shrine in Tambry-Upon-Tam*
​

*Fortunes may rise and fall with the tide, but the wealth of Your glory remains unheeded by our worldly plight. I hereby declare that I, Morgan Cerendor, Lord of Tambry-Upon-Tam, created and built this city in your name, and will continue to do so. Tambry is a trade city, with over 20 shops, that also has casinos to test luck and patience, a shipping company, and much wealth. As we continue to build our city, you shall easily see that our wealth and devotion to you is strong. Please accept this initial offering of over 23,000 redstone pieces as a token, for there is no god that ought dislike tokens. We raise funds and supplies to purchase new lands, build new shops, and construct a temple in your name, and ask for your blessing in our endeavors. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

*In all of the Northern Kingdoms, there is none so cunning as you, Jax, for with you I can succeed. In your name, we sold a building today, and part of what we received will be in your honor. We also plan for you a proper temple, opposite our Capital. Please continue to bless us as we battle to provide a place of free trade and commerce. Please accept my offering of 3,261 redstone pieces as my gamble that you will be pleased by my offer. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

​

*Almighty Jax, in this great day I honor you by acting to what I believe to be in the spirit of your character. I figure you tire of redstones, regardless of its inexplicable powers, and now desire to be worshiped with fervor in another way. Today, I wish to inform you that I have made a financial gamble. I have traded the ancient Dwarven Kingdom of Tahkul Rimtar and 60,000 radiants for the northern duchy of Dawnshard. I view it as a gamble, but potentially one that could bring great reward. I declare this gamble and the reward to be in your name, for it fairly represents the spirit of your character. It is, in my eyes, a venture you would approve. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

​

*Oh enlightened god of merchanting, I praise thee, Jax! Hear me today, for I have much to say. To begin, I have 5,202 pieces of redstone to offer you. Hopefully that shall appease your appetite and bless my business venture. I hope to sell Dawnshard soon to collect on my previous gamble so that we may continue construction of our great town at a faster pace. Please bless us, Jax, and let your judgment guide us in our own endeavors. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

*Almighty Jax, today my offering to you is 1908 pieces of redstone, and I bring you news that our big gamble has succeeded. Thank you for your blessings and wisdom, for you have guided me through this and brought us profit. You would be pleased to know that we also set up the Tambry Bank today. Please continue to rain down your support for my endeavors. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

*Jax, the sale has completed and we have purchased an additional 60 plots for our town. I am preparing an offering in your name, should it please you. We also are designing a temple, where you will hold the prominent position amongst your so-called peers. We all know you are superior, and yet I beg your forgiveness for the length of time that has passed between my prayers and offerings. It shall not happen again. I continue to ask for your blessings in town and business ventures. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

*Almighty Jax, your leadership and wisdom is my guide in a world of turbulence and tribulations. I praise thee as the God of Merchants and Trading and defer to your prosperity. Today I have for you 10,566 pieces of redstone, with more to come in the future. I continue to honor you with my actions and words and ask for you to continue to bless my endeavors. *Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

*Jax, today my offering is 8,550 pieces of redstone. I praise thee for continuing to bless my endeavors and honor thee for your wisdom. It has come to my attention that while Redstone is a valuable gem, it is more coveted by the one known as Vermella. Perhaps you can sell my offerings to her, for by now you must have cornered the market for redstones. *chuckles* At any rate, today will be my last bulk offering of redstone for a while as I search for other more meaningful ways to honor you that don't impede on the supposed divine jurisdiction of other beings. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained*

*Almighty Jax. Today has been a busy day, for I have sold another region and have plans to buy back Reignfall Manor. I also sold about 60,000 worth of supplies to various buyers. I declare those trades to be in your name. I also offer you 5184 pieces of redstone, may it appease your quench for all things valuable. I wish to inform you of an upcoming event, the Tambry Market and Faire. This event will be held outside your shrine. Finally, I ask whether you would consider taking up the status of "river god" for we have none, yet the river plays such a big role in our lives. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

*Almighty Jax, today we held an event in Tambry, the first of its kind, called the Tambry Market and Brew Faire. I am pleased to report to you that we had a great turnout and will continue to hold these events. My offering today is a bit larger than normal, and pledge to thee 9,288 redstone pieces. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained*


*Almight Jax. I praise the for continuing to bless my ventures. It feels I can do no wrong in business. I am sure this is your doing and a sign of your blessing. That one born so low as myself could ever ascend to become a merchant-lord is beyond the realm, yet here I am. I have seen you only in passing and I understand not why you bless me so, but my life is grand, and I know it cannot mere coincidence. I believe in choice, and yet I choose fate. I ask you today to bless me with your presence soon, and if you do I will shower you with wealth few in this world have ever seen. Everything I do I do in your name. Nothing Ventured. Nothing Gained.*

*Jax. Today I ventured into the depths of hell itself, gambling my life that I might find reward. While I did not, I am pleased that I have lived through the day! I wish to inform you that we have selected a date for our next market fair, and I hope to see you there, for there will be much commerce and rejoice. My offering to you is relatively small, for it reflects the small income I had today. Perhaps another day I will fill your coffers with more valuable riches. Nonetheless, I offer 128 redstone blocks, should it please you. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

*Today I bring news that I must postpone my attempted summoning. Nonetheless, when I do have an opportunity to summon you, I will offer a donation directly to you as well as propose a new organization to act in your name. I ask for your blessing for our upcoming market and brew fair event. Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.*

Super neat stuff, dude

Thanks! Don't worry (at least for now), I am reposting all the prayers to the first post so they are all in one place.

Also: changed the name of the thread. I was using the term jig in a strictly non-dancing meaning, and I liked the alliteration, but people may misinterpret the thread by confusing the meaning of "Jig"

Psst!

Remember that there is no one secure outcome. Depending on the focus deity of your ritual-whatever, and the actual details within it, said God or Goddess may not be what you expect (Or even agreeable to your goals). In fact, if you happen to mess up particularly horridly, an entirely different sort of deity could show up. As much as I would like to - I, unfortunately, cannot explain the IC lore mechanics behind deities and how they work in response to Alteran activity- so I can only advise that you take upon trifling in such powers with the utmost of caution.
THESE EVENTS ARE IC RITUALS OR OVERTURES IN WHICH THE SUBJECT DEITY MAY OR MAY NOT SHOW UP AT. You do not 'Summon' a deity, you pray to the heavens you somehow get their attention and that they're in a good mood when you do.

It is important enough to mention that should your character be fortunate enough to be graced by the presence of a Divine, such is not the Divine in person coming down from the heavens to speak with you themselves- it is but an avatar, a passing glance of their power and intent. The renditions of the Divines are but afterthoughts of the real thing molded to be comprehensible by mortal minds, barely a grain of sand in the entire shoreline that is the Deity.
