II. THE FRIENDSHIP OF SAINTS The second PAINT THE SAINT night of the PARADISIAN COURT was once more hosted by Her Excellency, Hedwig of Warsovia, in the Hand of Horen. Following the success of the last session, the Lady Chamberlain sees fit to instate the artistic session as a yearly event, for the population of the great kingdom of Aaun to revel in artistry and embrace their creativity. Whilst the challenge of guessing Saint Godwin with descriptive clues bloomed fruitful art pieces, this session posed an intriguing question: OUT OF ALL OF THE CANONIST SAINTS, WHO WOULD END UP BEING GREAT FRIENDS? Purely theoretical, courtiers had the chance to group together saints based on their own justifications as to, if they were alive at the same time, whether or not they would be good friends. Additionally, they were handed a paper list of all of the saints; the choice of who they would pick being fully theirs. Once more did the attendees grab their paint brushes with eagerness, ready to unleash their artisan personas. The results of Paint the Saint night will be showcased below. Ser Sterling Whitewood @_RoyalCrafter_ “Saint Amya and Saint Arianne; Fides in Nature.” Lady Arowyn Whitewood @Frank_Dog “Mine is of Saint Michael of Cordobe and Saint. Arianne. Two patron saints of service, ought to get along with each other I think.” His Lordship, Guy de Lewes @Timer “Saint Edmond is the patron saint of baronial lords amongst other things, and I shall one day be baron myself, GOD willing.” Her Majesty, Amelya of Middelan @bickando “They are both saints and sinners. Gluttons, each in their own sense…” Her Highness, Josephine Florentia Alstion @Myochii “I thought it unlikely for an egg and a chicken leg to be friends. It's like an apple going back to its own tree to befriend where it came from. Isn't it weird?” Miss Jénnet @Orphvius “Saint Julia of Paradisus and Saint Judith of Czena; why, both patron saints are women! Mustn’t they be the bestest of friends in the heavens?” HER EXCELLENCY, Hedwig of Warsovia, Lady Chamberlain of the Paradisian Court

I mean....It takes like 5 minutes to update an MA.....

I don't mind changing it to be like that. I think Hail, Call Calamity, and Invent should be recorded since those all are the most important ones. Thoughts?

On our end, it really isn't a hassle to update.

TURNI I VE GELTENKAROS TOURNEY OF THE GOLDEN CROW KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM Issued by the CROWN On the 10th day of Jula ag Piov of 526 E.S. VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG ELDERVIK, THE HAESENI PEOPLE HAVE SURVIVED A TEST OF HOLY GODAN. As Hanseh was once cleansed by the light of Holy Godan, so too was Valdev purged from the face of Aevos. What was once only flame and ruin has risen once more, and the proud banners of black and gold once more fly in the Northern wind. Thus, the Crown sees it fit to celebrate alongside their subjects and allies in a Grand Tourney in the shadow of New Valdev spanning over two months. Let us celebrate the survival of the North, Lord and strelt alike. The Month of Gronna ag Droba Saturday, April 20th, 6pm EST THE IRON MARKET The Crown of Hanseti-Ruska invites the blacksmiths of Aevos to present their wares among the pavilions and pitched tents of the tourney grounds. Any man wishing to partake is encouraged to send a crow to Kastell Lesanov bearing the name of their business and the nature of their craft, be they a swordsmith, an armourer or anything in between. Proof of quality work may be delivered to Lord Mikhail Colborn for inspection for preferential placement within the market. THE COMBAT OF GORM Teams of three men are to fight with longsword and plate in a bracketed tournament. One man must carry the banner of his liege or clan throughout the day. Should he be felled in combat the team shall be stricken from the bracket as if all had been defeated. The victors of the day shall be rewarded from the vaults of the Crown with a magical blade and ancient coinage. THE PLOWHAND’S MELEE The day shall close with a general melee, with every man fighting unarmed and unarmoured until only one remains. This contest is to be restricted to those of Haeseni stock that do not stand to inherit a fiefdom of the Dual-Kingdom. He who reigns supreme shall gain the favour of his Crown, and be elevated by His Majesty to squirehood in the prestigious Order of the Crow. The Month of Tov ag Yermey Sunday, April 21st, 5pm EST THE JOUST OF NEW VALDEV To herald in the second day of festivities their Majesties intend to host a joust during which ladies may bid their favour on various participants and knights and lords may fight for the valour of their respective houses. Amidst the joust, alike the day prior, merchants are encouraged to dispense their wares to the gathered crowds. Prior to the start of the joust, the Royal Court intends to host the ladies in attendance at the tourney grounds in order to ensure all ladies are properly equipped to bid their favours as they wish.

Good afternoon, everyone! This is just a post to ask a simple question — what from Lord of the Craft do you think would make a great addition to Dungeons & Dragons? The lore and magic systems from this server are very unique, and I think that a lot from here could be turned into really amazing monsters, features, subclasses, and magic items for D&D 5e. I'm curious to see what crazy, off-the-wall things you all think would make unique additions to somebody's D&D campaign.

imo i dont think every spell should be unrecorded the rituals like hail/calamity for example should absolutely be recorded on your MA due to their impact or potential impact compared to something like ensorcel or quiet

Previous: Mechanics Redlines New: Mechanics Redlines Purpose: Fixing a lore inconsistence! Other magics (and especially dark magics) don't require general spells and rituals to be marked on someone's MA. It's a hassle that just makes more work for ST and Players. Understandable, Siliti rituals should be marked because of the special nature of them as well as if someone has taken the Second Slot. The mechanics even say this exact same thing, so I wish for the inconsistence to be fixed and for the annoying process of marking abilities and rituals to not be required.

The Duke of Brabant would pick up the authorless missive and pondered. "Our laws are too broad, we must clarify things to ensure people's rights to a union is met, while distinguishing properly from the Canonist rites. Perhaps I'll ask our priest on how to best handle the situation."

[i] Missives like these could be seen on trees and posts all around Brabant A Treatise on Same-Sex Marriage Purpose This document is a thesis on the legal implications of Homophilic Magic. While the author of this document is Canonist and thus follows the decrees of the Church, this document only serves as a secular analysis of Homophilic marriage, concerning legal law and foreign cultures, and most importantly aims to offer suggestions for improvement of current marriage laws and provide a resource for the potential implementation of homophilic marriage laws. Introduction The world of Aevos is vast. It contains a vast variety of different lands, climates, and races. From the orcs of the Horde, the High Elves in the jungles Haelun’Or, to the humans of Canondom and the pagans of Celia and Norland. Through cultures, tongues, religions, skins, and history, the differences between and in descendants are very visible. And yet what is just as visible as the differences in culture between us is the fact that all races contain in themselves the most 2 sacred acts, love and marriage. General Understanding of Marriage To discuss the act of marriage, one must first establish a general understanding of marriage. The act of matrimony is not tied to single or certain descendants, races, cultures, or religions thus one may say, this tradition transcends such paradigms. That being said, in nearly all cultures, marriage does have elements of culture, and religion that exist between those getting married. Some cultures also practice polygamy, though this is far less common throughout the realms. Thus, the common definition of marriage one may use is: “A ritual or ceremony, in which two parties, typically two individuals, join in a recognised union.” The recognition of a marriage can be done by any relevant authority, the state, the local community, or in the case of Canondom, the church. The Relation of Matrimony to that of Law Following the Haeseni Book of Honour, marriage is defined is defined as the “the sacred rite of taking a husband or wife to form a family.” While such a definition is certainly within the decrees of Canondom, one may notice that it features the interesting condition of ‘to form a family,’ meaning that unions in which the couple either doesn’t not want or cannot form a family as not able to form a marriage. With the Lex Civilis of Balian, an official definition of Matrimony is not given, though the language indicates its an affair between man and woman. Most interestingly though, it provides a section on Civil Unions, which is “Civil unions shall be defined as the enjoining of non-human individuals who do not follow the Canon into the institution of marriage as recognized by the Kingdom of Balian.” The rest of the language in this article does not mention gender, implying that two male elves may be allowed to enter a recognised civil union in Balian. This is an instance of legal recognition of foreign unions and to some extent homophilic unions. Granted, with the missive of the ‘4 Canonist Princess on marriage’ Balian and other nations have come to vow to allow same-sex unions in their nations, so the current Lex Civilis is not up to date. But it is still useful for this paper’s analysis. How this all relates to that of Same-Sex Marriage Thus, for the implementation of laws regarding expanding of marriage rights, one may want to include a broad definition of matrimony, so as to allow different parties to marry. This option works best in more secular states, or in non-human countries. Rulers of states with strong religious principles, and with a public desire for homophilic unions, may instead want to implement separate definitions for religiously recognised matrimony, and state-recognised civil union. When it comes to issues of inheritance, such as in the case of noble titles belonging to homophilic couples, one may make the titles non-hereditary, or allow the couple in question to appoint an inheritor. This document will not delve into the theories of such an arrangement. And so finally with everything that has been spoken and declared, I can finally propose this argument for the right of marriage between couples of the same-sex. Although in Brabant, we are a canonist land and so respect the laws of Canon, we still have within ourselves our Scroll of Law upon which the state and government builds upon as its framework. And so, I propose this our government recognize same-sex couples and same-sex marriage as it would the marriages of any other citizen in Brabant as currently the Scroll of Law define marriage as between two peoples with no specific on sex or race. Furthermore, I believe that since homophilic marriages would exist outside the church of Canon as the church deems such to be against the beliefs of our holy scrolls that such marriages be recognized as outside of the Church of Canon, but the government should recognize the right of marriage and extend that to same-sex couples to marry and to also form civil unions. Civil-unions can also be used to recognise the matrimony of foreign races living in one's own land and the rights of its citizens to marry who they wish to choose due to the law in its current state. land, or the union of different religions. Closing words While this document doesn’t comment on the religious principles or morality of homophilic unions, the author of this paper would like to thank the wisdom of the Holy Mother Church, in respecting states that form laws to implement civil unions, that do not infringe on the holy rites of Canondom. And so I, your anonymous author, came to a close on this paper.

“This man- needs either a trophy for the most Imperial missives made this millennia OR needs to be placed in a clinic strapped to a bed for his obsession for an Empire of Man.” Ember seemed very shocked by the amount of missives made by the individuals behind these post about an empire or The covenant of man. (ooc: love these missives- always appreciate good political unity schizopost)
