Finding Your Inner Strength

Greetings Everyone! I am the host of today's mass and the Cleric of Cail's Temple, Kourika!

Today I would like give a sermon about something that I think everyone can achieve with time and self reflection, and that is "Finding your inner strength!"

Although I am a priest, I have stood beside Cail for over a Hundred Deochs! So I know that inner strength is different than what most people think. Most people like to show their show off their strength, but forget that true strength comes from the inside. Now I understand that Monks and their variants might get the upper hand when it comes to finding their inner strength. I will help those who do not know what comes natural!

Why do you think that Cail was able to prevail over Ceannliadir even though Ceannliadir took away his ability to wield a sword? Do you think Cail sulked? Do you think Cail just sat there and felt bad for his predicament? NO! He did not! He re-framed his mind! Instead of seeing this as a disaster, he saw it as a learning opportunity.

Through life experiences, even though it might seem horrible disaster, framer your mind so it can seem more like a challenge. Inner strength can keep you going when you are feeling down, and hopefully, just like Cail, you can find your Inner strength.

Ascension of Strom! The new Cailite Priest!

Welcome to the continuation of this double-moon's Cail Mass!

I would like to appreciate this time in Temuair, where new beginnings are all around us! Just like how a seedling can grow into a tree, it is time for an Acolyte to advance into a Priest! I would like to introduce my disciple Strom! This mass will be his debut into his priesthood into the Cail temple.Earlier today he has ascended into the ranks as a true Cailite Priest!

~Strom~
Thank you, Lady Kourika.

Greetings, Aislings of Temuair. I am Strom Vervain. Over there is my loving wife, Aveni Vervain.
We hail from.. well.. I will save that for a later time.. However, we did come for a purpose. For several Deochs, I stayed in our homeland. As the forest grew dark and the creatures grew restless.. I, too, grew restless. As night elves, we are very in tune with nature. We feel it's pain, we feel its sorrow. Something, somewhere is disturbing the balance in the world. However, I am not here to bring foreboding news. In fact, I would like to share a reflection I have absorbed in the recent moons that I've spent walking amongst you.

During my lifespan, while studying the habits of those who reside in Temuair, I had always read about the eight religions and how, at times, there were even wars between
two temples. I believe, in a recent History class, Gliocan Cleric Merisa Lightbelle shed some light on specifics disagreements. Upon venturing here myself, I have discovered the opposite
to reign true. We have several worshippers, and more, amongst us from several different Shrines - all of us with different beliefs and practices. This is what I would claim to be a common occurence in the
Deochs of late.I do not believe this is a happy accident. No. This sort of harmonization can't be of sheer chance, contrary to what the Fiosachdians would have you believe. I believe we gather at these Masses for a deeper meaning.

Something has loomed over Temuair, and I'm willing to bet many of us feel it within. The support shown in these masses is favorable to our future. We must continue to remain intact, arm-in-arm. We must understand one another, before being understood. And I believe this balance amoungst the Shrines of Temuair will soon reveal a blessing from Danaan herself.
 It is rumored the Shrine that resides in Hoige, now known as Blackstar Village, is an old Shrine to Danaan. Perhaps it will open soon. For now, let us bask in this harmony, continuing to respect one
 another. Today, I thank each of you.  And Cail thanks you, too.
