I am pleased to announce that the Council has seen fit to approve my application for a Holy Icon.

Like a rushing wave you feel >>the bond with the icon settle on you. The silver glow slowly fades away and you know you have pledged your >>service to Chadatru.
Rumor has it there are 4 things that must be done with the icon to complete the preparation ritual and make them more useful.
I shall be studying and learning what things affect the icon to complete this ritual.
Just wanted my brethren to know that the council is contacting those who were approved to give them their icons.

I have to say, these are awesome. If anyone needs a hand with the ritual, drop me a line at HIMKOI. For those that worked on it, a very heartfelt thankyou. These are a work of art with some awesome messaging. Not even one of those killer syntax games to add icing to the cake. Thanks much.

Ok, this is driving me slightly nuts. I know I am SOOOO close to getting this 4 step ritual right.
1) Clean icon (repeatedly until it is clean)
2) Hug icon
3) Rub icon
4) Pray icon.. and no boost. If I repeat I get "you've already done this part of the ritual" for steps 1-3. Must be just off on that last part.
Any ideas of what to try for step 4? I've tried everything I can think of.

Congratulations, everyone who has recieved an icon so far.
I hope one day we get a similar event for the Paladins, the few there are, over on the Plat side of things. Although I would like to add that perhaps it should be opened to non-Paladins being able to address the council about the Paladins, and they have to stand there and take the praise. Since most, if not all of the Paladins in Plat would not stand in front of a council and recite their daring deeds due to RP reasons. Although if this was the only way it would get done, yeah I'd bet more then one of us would be up in front of the council babbling on.

The inscriptions seem to, at least from the ones I've seen.
I'm not sure about the looks. I do think the look of Slaris' icon is very IC for the way he is played (or at least the way I try to play him. I, as a player, was literally stunned when I was presented with the icon.
I'll take a moment to thank Maece, Nehros and any others for these icons. It really made my night. They are absolutely awesome. The details, and 'personalization' in these must have taken some time, aside from the events, and the work you guys did on these really shows. Thanks a ton guys.
