This Lore has been accepted. Moved to Implemented Lore, it will be sorted to it's appropriate category soon. Please note that if this is playable lore, such as a magic or CA, you will need to write a guide for this piece. You will be contacted regarding the guide (or implementation if it isn’t needed) shortly.

The grandson of the founder of the Commonwealth, Prince Paul Alexander of the Petra the Duke of Valfleur, Founder and Chancellor of the Royal Academy of Saint Jude smiled at the well-written and highly decorated missive, ”I always knew she could do it. Three cheers for the Dame-Maire of Vallagne!”

Renilde I of the Petra, really old but cooler than everyone else

“This Lady Mayor, Mama, she is certainly an intellectual.” Sorrel, over a cup of his mother’s sought-after hot cocoa, showed Calla the well-executed proposal of the Salvian Gauntlet and all of its interworkings, an eyebrow raised as well as the corner of his mouth in an idle smile. “Didn’t I tell you? She is certainly the one - she is, she is!” @carebear

Ser Eldacar Marsyr was in his house smiling proud as he read the missive. This smile faltered however as he swiftly realized he had not a single formal outfit to wear. "Bugger. . ." And so he sprinted off, searching for a seamstress!

–════ 𓆩⟡𓆪 ════– Know that I understand my words here could be better reflected and approached personally. But I have never been known to, and have never wanted to, do better to those who would not do as much to me; So I will meet others where they are, without conversation, on a public forum. Balance is described as all things being in equilibrium and harmonic comportance. Balance thrives when give and take, light and darkness, life and death, are in equal measure. From Balance and dedicated to Balance, rises Order, found when all constituent parts of something are in complete agreement. Given that all Druids or Aspect-devout people know well the meaning of balance and order, I beg the reader to imagine my vivid surprise when I beheld a publication regarding the behavior of Creeds, and the new laws by which they mean to govern us, all without a word spoken to me, or several other Heralds who are newly beholden to these rules. Rules which I understand to have, by technicality, been erected by Prophets Awaiti and Valor in an era bygone, rules which have over time withered away and been replaced by new traditions, new ways. This lack of conversation I find to be startling, but above all, comical, given that the codified laws that they mean to instate are given the moniker of The Creed Pact. A resurrected concept of old which, by the time I write this, seems to have been decided on by only two. Certainly The Ichor Way, the most populous Creed, and one half of the originally made pact, ought to have been brought into the conversation, in addition to the Ways of The Sage, and the Sanguine Fire; The latter of which, I observe, to be second in terms of greatest following. Unfortunately, I am unsurprised. This is not the first time my sister in duty has overreached and attempted to implant her assumed authority over the order and those affiliated with our faith and goal. –════ 𓆩⟡𓆪 ════– To the rules and considerations themselves, My distaste primarily lies in the principle of the thing, rather than the specific laws you have written. Overall, I would be more amenable to these rules, if they were not re-imposed without conference. However, I do take umbrage with how you’ve represented my Creed, originally professed by the Prophet Valor Caerme’onn- that which I have written, re-written, taught, and spread farther and better than the hands who wrote the publication I am responding to. It shows how little attention you have paid to my work and my progress, and it is insulting. Granted, I suppose writing the Ichor Way as you did suits your sensibilities, and your desire for Creeds to be as dissimilar as possible. And I much doubt you’ve spoken to members of the Sanguine Fire, or the Sage way, in regards to the descriptions you wrote of them. I am sure Heralds would have been willing to contribute their own writing and descriptions to this project- or at least would have been willing to be consulted over the information you use to describe us. My final word on the matter is this, wayward Sisters, my advice; Stop reaching. Focus on something that matters. Your last three, greatest endeavors in the name of auld Mother and Father are summed up as this; Planting trees for mages, and two failed attempts at imposing your authority. Foster new growth. I am not the only one who has noticed and grown far-tired of your obsession over the late Oracle Awaiti Sirame, may she rest. You exult yourselves at every given opportunity, never failing to mention how you were her contemporaries. You are not the only one. The disregard you have for the present and future are appalling. I am regarded as one of the more stubborn, traditional men of our faith, and even I know this is a bridge too far. - THE BUZZARD.

Will be adding that in, thank you for the feedback!

Brôk filled in the form, signing up for the legion. He felt like his kin were in for a time of progress and prosperity. He couldn't really put his finger on why, but the Grand Kingdom of Urguan felt more alive in recent times.

might be worth throwing in a link for applying to staff. otherwise its a very lovely guide ty smol

Staff, Tickets And More Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of the LoTC Staff Teams. We are hoping this guide will help players understand what team they should head to when they have questions! Please keep in mind that everyone on staff is volunteering their time. Story Team The Story Team is an integral part of our server. The rich lore, events, sites, and maintenance of that lore and sites are managed by the Story Team. The three Cohorts of the Story Team are: the Lore Team, Event Team, and Build Team Lore Team: The Lore Team focuses on the maintenance of the server lore. Lore, old and new is filtered by the Lore Team to uphold the server’s high standards of lore. Players on LOTC however, have the opportunity to submit new lore or propose amendments to lore. The Lore Team is the point of contact for when such lore is introduced. Whenever you are interested in writing lore or submitting your lore, the Lore Team are the people to reach out to if you have any questions on how to go about the process! https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/218835-story-team-update-lore-criteria/ Event Team: Those events you might see or local event emotes you might experience during your time on LOTC can be attributed to our Event Team. The Event Team consists of members who are known as “Event Actors” who are there to provide an immersive RP experience for players invested in the server’s lore. The Event Team also focuses on updating the Beastiary collection to provide information on playable creatures for events. From conflicts with dragons to battles with an undead army, the event team are at the forefront of it all, puppeteering and providing flair and a fun and immersive experience for the players as they fight to forge a name in the server’s in-game history. Build Team: During your journeys on LOTC, you may come across interesting sites, structures and landscapes. The Build Team constructs these areas. These team of builders beautify our server by bringing to life the many structures, landscapes and sites that are mentioned within our lore, and through the actions and dialogues of the many different event lore characters and creatures you may come across. The Story Team is the department to go to for all your questions on our server’s rich lore, events, and sites that you may come across during your journeys on the server. Type Of Tickets: When a /sreq is made, the Story Team will deal with the following Queries: - Signing of items (Alchemy, Weapons, Structures and other relevant items). - Answering questions about lore, such as voidal magic restrictions. - Updating your MAs, FAs, CAs or TAs.

The team is divided into three cohorts, namely Server Moderation, Forum Moderation, and Conflict Moderation.

The primary responsibility of forum moderators is to edit and oversee forums, ensuring that they are well-organized and easy to navigate. They also play a crucial role in enforcing forum rules and guidelines to create a safe and respectful community. Additionally, forum moderators create and edit new subforums for different realms and realm vassals to enable users to find relevant content easily. Warning points are also used to enforce rules and guidelines, and moderators ensure that they are applied consistently and fairly. Conflict Moderation: The Conflict Moderation plays a critical role in managing large-scale events such as raids and war claims. This role involves managing entire wars, which requires an understanding of how to set up and use the war server. They play a vital role in mediating discussions between realm leaders. Their responsibilities include planning and implementing events, ensuring that they run smoothly and safely, and resolving disputes that may arise during these events. Type Of Tickets: When a /modreq is made, the Moderation Team will deal with the following Queries: - Restoring items/tokens in cases of accidental death/glitches (Soulbinds, Edit tokens, Tracking down dropped items) - Creating Rally Bells and NPCS (Aviaries, Banks) - Persona Commands (Switching players realms/Active Slots) - Conflict (Responding to active conflict that needs assistance, Overseeing raids/petty theft/heists/vandalism) - Forums (Pinning/hiding/moving forum posts, Creating/Managing/Editing the subforums) - Nation Assistance (Region Creation, Treasury management, RO management, PRO swaps, LWC modifications for kingdom storage, Evictions, Creating LC regions) - Soulstone Pillars (Pillar creation/management) - Alts & Freja (Linking/unlinking player alts manually) - War (Managing war systems, sending players to the war server, Bringing stuck players back from the war server) - Misc (Stacking unstackable items, Giving new players kits who spawned without them, Trading item frames for invisible ones, Fixing player chat permissions when bugged) Here is a guide on further information surrounding Moderation tickets and reports: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/223898-moderation-request-guide/ https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/235000-moderation-reports/ Community Team The Community Team is an integral part of our server, responsible for tasks such as whitelisting, maintaining the wiki, introducing new players to the server, producing media content, and organising/hosting community player events. The team is divided into four main cohorts: Applications, Media, Event, and Wiki. Application Team: The Application Team includes all members of the community team, as this is part of their core duties while on the team. They are responsible for reviewing whitelist applications, onboarding new players, and assisting players with any general server questions they may have. Media Team: The Media Team comprises members of the community team who are responsible for creating content and managing the social media channels of LOTC. They aim to produce engaging and informative content for both new and veteran server players to enjoy. Event Team: The Event Team is made up of members from the Community Team, who are primarily responsible for organizing and hosting wider community events on the server. Their main goal is to create enjoyable and memorable events for everyone to participate in, including pet adoption days, Secret Santa events, and Easter egg hunts. Wiki Team: The Wiki Team comprises both the members of the Community Team and individuals who are not staff members. Their main objective is to maintain, create, and update the wiki pages. This includes rectifying outdated content and ensuring impartiality, particularly concerning recent occurrences such as a war or the establishment of a settlement.

"Nerd." Commented Peter, the groom's father, before whipping out the formal wear once more.

ISSUED BY THE OBSIDIAN THRONE 3rd of Grimdugans Shroud, 180 S.A ((14/05/24)) LEGIO I DUNGRIMM CALL TO MUSTER The Grand King Thurgrim Silverbraid has decreed that the Dwarves of Urguan are summoned for a muster in the Legion Hall next year on Armakaks Labour to voluntarily enlist in the Legion of Dungrimm.

Any arrivals are expected to bring heavy armour and a pony at their own expense (required material for armour can be purchased at the Workforce shop, located next to the Legion Hall), but uniforms befitting the rank of new volunteers, as well as standard-issue weaponry will be distributed. All those interested in enlistment are required to fill out a recruitment form beforehand, to be delivered to either the Grand Marshal or Quartermaster of the Legion. NARVOK OZ URGUAN [!]A form is tacked to the missive. [Recruitment Form] OOC: Date: Saturday the 18th of May, 2pm EST Thurgrim Silverbraid Grand King of Urguan, Lord of the Silverbraids Narvi, Grand Marshal of the Legion of Dungrimm

Dear goodness, Balian is cooked

"You think so?" Remarked the aforementioned wife, HEDWIG, who turned towards CHARLES to bear witness to his smile. Then did she mirror his, only brighter, the apple of her cheeks turning red. "We'll see with the coming years whether or not these changes shall be effective, and one day it shall be us to steer our vassals towards their right path."

The An-Gho, the Prophet and Prince of the Nephilim :3

**** it sure Arathor - Youngest son of the Queen of Numendil, a Templar and Ranger who spent his formative years fighting shadow cultists and being traumatized by an eldritch forest monster. He currently travels the world seeking monsters to slay, righteous wars to fight and overall knightly ordeals (might be a bit war-addicted tbh). He's callous, blunt and not very nice, but is a kind man at heart.
