Nei (Empress): Ashian'darra Dev'Lin Ilharess (Matron Mother): Qilintha Dev'Lin Ul'saruk (Warlord): Yathtaller (High Priestess): Obok'thain (High Priest): M'elzar d'Veldrin lueth Ssussun(Archmage of Shadows and Light): Raye'Kan Dev'Lin Qu'el'faeruk (House Wizard): Qu'el'saruk (House Weaponmaster): Qu'el'velguk (House Assassin): Sil'in'yathrin (Noble Priestess): C'rintri (Nobility): Mordain Dev'Lin (1st Brother) Yathrin (Priestess): Neph'thys Dev'Lin, M'thain (Priest): Daeron Dev'Lin Faern (Mage): Morfeus Dev'Lin, , Alzar Dev'Lin, Morgraine Dev'Lin, Jain'zar Dev'Lin, Thrar Devï¿½Lin, Irza Devï¿½Lin, Gar Dev'Lin Drada'quarthin (Lieutenant): Kelthrae Dev'Lin, Elric Dev'Lin, Jarlexel Dev'Lin Velg'larn (Assassin): Set Dev'Lin Yath'abban (Temple Agent): Mizï¿½ry Devï¿½Lin Zhaunin (Apprentice):Draezaras Dev'Lin Sargtlin (Soldier): Olplyn (Thief): Beldrin (Artisan): Dgarkn Dev'Lin Rothe (Slave): Unranked house members: previous rank in brackets. Beatrix Dev'Lin (Belï¿½lainei) Danifae Dev'Lin (Ilharess) deceased Solaufein Dev'Lin (Ulï¿½saruk) Nizzre'solen Dev'Lin (Yathtaller) Daktiviir Dev'Lin (Obokï¿½thain) K'yorl Dev'Lin (Quï¿½elfaeruk) Korvelas Dev'Lin (Quï¿½elï¿½saruk) ï¿½ New position offered. Ashio Devï¿½Lin (Velg'larn) ï¿½ Temporarily inactive Vvenark Dev'Lin (Qï¿½uelvelguk) Bela'cyla Dev'Lin (Sil'in'yathrin) Ryl'yaen Dev'Lin (Sil'in'yathrin) Aluandichara Dev'Lin (Sil'in'yathrin) Nania Dev'Lin (Sil'in'yathrin) Te'fein Dev'Lin (C'rintri) Beldor Dev'Lin (C'rintri) ï¿½ Inactive Zhayemd Dev'Lin (C'rintri) Jahn Dev'Lin Kal'Lazar Dev'Lin (needs to be discussed) Daeghun Dev'Lin Faeril Dev'Lin Others that are not currently ranked, for instance the high priests and priestesses, you are still ranked as your base specialty (I,e, Yathï¿½rin) until further notice. I donï¿½t want to shake the house up, but I am not familiar with some of the older members and for the high ranked positions I want active people on, as I will be encouraging them to run events with me. If you want to reapply for a position, or disagree with your rank being removed, please send me (Qilintha) a message on the forum, or see me in game, either in character or in a tell.

I am indeed! *slaps her wrist*
Accept my apologies o mighty shade of szith!
hehe

Also, before I add you in... are you sure on the name you have? Ssussun means bright/light... which translates to : Mage of Concealment and Bright/light

Is that the official title? I would have thought darkness/shadows would be more fitting.

Oloth/darkness... veldrin/shadows..
seke'olath/shade

You are correct, but within the fiction, titles and references to veldrin alone are most often related to the VDN (drow CIA/KGB/Inquisition, and I do not wish to step on there toes, so to speak.

Sadly, there isn't a word for "Illusion" in drow-elven, and the closest I have been able to come up with is a more literal translation.

Veldrin = shadows
lueth = and
Ssussun = light

so,

M'elzar d'Veldrin lueth Ssussun = ArchMage of Shadows and Light

After all, are illusions anything more than shadow and light?

Cool

If at all possible, it would be nice to see myself down as a wizard.

Alright Its all done. I've also removed 'shebali' as a rank, as that really doesn't make sense to me Raye, I've added a new title within the ranks under the name you want. I'm not going to put you as the house wizard because ultimately, you have a specialisation, the house wizard would be powerful and generalised. You're ranking just above or on a par with the house wizard (which at the minute is blank). I know it's like adding another rank but for the many mages we have, I feel its necessary. (and I do have someone in mind for the blank spot, hence me wanting to leave it open). What do you think? _________________ Qilintha Dev'lin -

/// Ranking issues - below is a cut an paste of the above rankings - titles and levels of which don't seem to really line up with what is happening in Szith or Szith history /// /// notes regarding the listed ranking /// Nei (Empress): - This is not an internal house title or position - it's the ruler of multiple drow cities, which for TFR does not work.
