    I was thinking of a good and comprehensive explanation, but @Amber Raine herself did it much better. See this post:
    https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/f...ar-every-saturday-11am-nbt.53585/#post-594714

    It is somewhere that all Avatars who feel like it can gather and hear words of encouragement, uplift and mild philosophy. Not "religious" as such; bear in mind that Amber is the High Priestess of Chaos:D:p

    Always interesting and uplifting, Amber's words are broadcast on Avatars Radio in time with the text presentation. Kazyn at this time just uses text to deliver his thoughts.

    All are welcome to attend - if you want to catch up with one or two sermons the soundcloud clips are there:)

    It was indeed a pleasure to see Berek at the service this weekend. Asclepius, I believe you did a fantastic job on describing it there. We are not a cult, nor a real church. It is a place where all are indeed welcome and we view different topics each week and how followers of given paths may precieve and approach them. It is also uplifting to me to hear that after 2 years, we are still able to do that for people. It is in all honesty, one of the main reasons I remain in Shroud of the Avatar.

    To help, to teach, to englighten and uplift. Chaos is after all not about being random, it is merely a way of life.

    Besides what Asclepius and Amber said about it, one of the best features of this recurring appointment is that, after the lectures from Amber & Kazyn, the event is then opened to anybody to speak up wrt:
    • The subject illustrated in the two sermons
    • Suggestion for next week's topic
    • Any other matter the attendee wants to bring up to the attention of everyone
    • Announcements of other events/initiatives/endeavors
    • Requests/pleas/drives
    It often turns into an "open mic" sort of gathering, where not just the weekly theme is debated, but discussion often spontaneously blossoms regarding pressing or heartfelt matters occuring ingame - or even IRL.

    Uhm.

    I know it's a funny remark (by the smiling face) but to be a secretive, exclusive organization puppeteering the whole game we lack a couple of features: 1) we're not secretive, since these events are published and broadcasted openly, and 2) we're nowhere near exclusive, since the events are open and actually everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate and especially to contribute to the discussion. ;)

    Which reminds me, Lord British said he wanted more emotes, so maybe we need a secret SOTA illuminati recognition emote ;)!'
