Artifact Pact - Maelmorda and Sammael

The Artifact Pact Between The Morning Star and Sammael


TMS: Pull your legions out of Morashtar under these terms and you shall have such a challenge as shall make your blood roar;  You vow by law of Acheron to forever leave my world alone, and I pledge in return that if you break me, I shall offer Morashtar to you without contest, to do what you will with, for my release from your control.  Risk your legions being wiped out by mine, and losing Acheron's throne to me, or embrace me as yours to conquer.  I shall obey you, but shall I not also struggle when you cross lines with me?  Have you no desire to teach me to suffer and regret such a sacrifice as I am willing to make?  And even if you cannot break me, I and all my power and all that is mine, with the sole exception of Morashtar will still be yours.  You cannot lose if you accept these terms and shall have such challenges ahead of you as you never dreamt."

S: A family we have to raise now anyways Morning Star, a war I will make the least of your worries. This Morashtar you love so much is still yours is it not? Mud puppies and all. Though I find myself wondering what it would have been like. Horizons of our legions coming to our calls. Magic slinging. Sword clashing. Beheadings. Possible extinction of certain races, but that's just superstition. Ahh well, something better than that mayhem business is here now. You, all of you for this is a fair trade. And.. I think you've avoided us long enough." 

TMS: He smiled warmly as Sammael agreed to his terms; binding the agreement by his word.  It was the way of agreements made by Acheron's lords, particularly when Maelmorda had a hand in it.  They both had to uphold their end of the deal; Sammael to pull his legions out of Morashtar and never again bother or attempt to change Morashtar again, and Maelmorda to give all that he was and that was his, excluding Morashtar, to Sammael, until such a time Sammael chose to free him.  If Mael cut ties with Sammael's natural possession of all that he was and that was his, the one exclusion aside, Morashtar would be Sammael's without contest.  Whomsoever broke the spoken contract, the eternal flame would exact its judgment and punishment on. 

TMS: Now, if harm came to Marsol or Wyrvaust, Sammael would begin to feel terribly ill, unbalanced, as if struck with a sudden plague. The pact he and Lucifer made protected all who were born of Morashtar of any consequence, and that included farmers, smithies, fishermen, what have you, and it included all of the Lords. As Marsol was king of the desert, harming him was to harm himself, killing him was to kill himself. Such was the way of the binding pact Sammael and Maelmorda had made. If either of them broke their end, it could kill them. Maelmorda laughed quietly as Wyrvaust plead for what did not need to be begged for. Of course he could not possibly know that, and Sammael had only to figure it out the hard way, or realize it immediately as he began to sicken as he harmed those who were protected. Unfortunately, Cirgoth and Arilwen were not part of that pact, for neither of them were of Morashtar or consequential to it. Also, having entered Sammael's house freely of will, Cirgoth had placed himself under Satan's power. He had forfeited the Standard of Possession. All angels were within Sammael's reach if the Standard of Possession did not apply. Children born in Morashtar were also protected, which meant Anwarr II was safeguarded by the pact as well. All Lords of Morashtar were also protected. Now the hellions who had not been set free of Acheron by Lucifer, Sammael could do with as he wished. People tended to forget just how clever the Morning Star was. Morashtar, its Lords, and most born of it were protected by their binding pact.

TMS: "I suppose now is as good a time as ever to explain the entire pact to you.  My terms were as such; Pull your legions out of Morashtar under these terms; You vow by law of Acheron to forever leave my world alone, and I pledge in return that if you break me, I shall offer Morashtar to you without contest, to do what you will with, for my release from your control.  And even if you cannot break me, I and all my power and all that is mine, with the sole exception of Morashtar will still be yours.  Now I bound these terms by an artifact pact, which has intelligence,  intelligence equal to my own, and a will of its own.  Because its will upholds the pact, it also acts on honor, or against the breaking of it.  When you agreed to the terms by saying; 'You, all of you for this is a fair trade' and by claiming me in every other way; the intelligence of the pact made that a resolute yes to the terms, and its will joined with the power of the eternal flame and bound us both to the pact, to itself in other words.  Whatever judgment the pact decides to exact, and it is crucial that you understand that it can make decisions; it exacts through the eternal flame, which as you know is more powerful than both of us, than any being in the universe, perhaps with exception of The Abysmal Darkness, but then, even that planet devouring alien may not be a match for the eternal flame.  You must be doing harm to one who is of Morashtar, or some part of Morashtar, for you grow ill, my beloved Prince.  This I am willing to wager is a warning, for it could as easily obliterate you, or change you into whatsoever it wished to punish you for breaking your end of the pact.  It might as easily decide to punish you for breaking a blade of grass as harming one of Morashtar's creatures if the pact decides it loaths you.  My advice is that you release Marsol and Wyrvaust at least, and any other prisoners of war out of Morashtar, lest the pact grow angry.  The pact also designated a grace period of time for pulling your legions out, for do you not still have legions scattered about Morashtar?  If they linger too long, beyond the pact's patience, that too could be the death of you.  Our terms permit you to stay in Morashtar, so long as you do not impact it, but not so your legions.  Servants?  Shall the pact allow them?   What the pact will and will not allow is solely for it to determine.  Being here is a risk to you; depending on how it deciphers your actions."
