I am looking for one person to play my persona’s child. If you are interested, fill out the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeqi7dP1vG7LqHL8pK54-GhRm65ZZYyk_3ZsCAvstiiz9C21A/viewform This boy will have a unique experience, as he was adopted by darkspawn. He will be available to be played on May 8th. Other information is in the Form. We mainly look for a player interested in the family aspect of the RP, the whole darkspawn part is just a perk and added flavor! The boy has three caretakers. To avoid metagaming, I’ll list them as numbers. #1: She is the main caretaker of the child. She is a wanderer and tends to be rather impulsive on decision making. Also, she is a sailor (and pirate). Oftentimes she takes the kid with her on her adventures. She has a big heart and a lot of love to give. #2: He has open disdain for the child and children in general. But there are scams the kid would be useful for and he does, in spite of himself, somewhat care for him. He’s a compulsive liar, an attempted scammer, and will try to pass along all of these talents. He, alongside #1, both have an affinity for getting into trouble. #3: She oftentimes is the creepy one, giving off an odd and unnerving vibe. They have an interesting dialect and are a high ranking vampire.

The Mitzuul Grove; Golden Age of the Almarisian Kharajyr Published on the 24th of Malin’s Welcome, 178 SA. PREFACE As I approach the final days of my life and my hope has diminished, I, Ixltub Morthawl, Son of Rha’kir shall write down the Almarisian History of my dying people: The Kharajyr. In great sorrow I had to watch them decline. A decline caused by the absence of those few leaders it had. The once-great culture of the Kharajyr has declined to a pathetic bunch: Many reports and stories are told of Kharajyr willingly reducing themselves to mere house-kittens. Acting like pets and serving in various realms as mere entertainers. Yet; there were more glorious days. In the reign of Grand King Norli Starbreaker the traveling Kharajyr of the Va’Teyatl Caravan united with those remnant Kharajyr they could find and founded a place which should be a true home of a small, but united people: The Mitzuul Grove. Maybe one day, the Kharajyr shall unite under a purpose again and become the great people they were meant to be once more; A day I shall likely not live long enough to see. Founding of the Grove [!] A painting depicting the western section of the Mitzuul Grove Around the dawn of the second age, between the first and second year, Rha’kir Morthawl gathered the remnant Kharajyr in a small campsite around Eastfleet. They soon went to travel from one place to another; Vaelya, Haelun’or and Talon’s Port. One day they received a letter from the Alchemist Sa’Muja, who was in contact with the Grand King of Urguan: Norli Starbreaker. From this contact friendship grew which soon unraveled an opportunity for the Kharajyr, for the Grand King offered Rha’kir and Muja an old, uninhabited Grove as a dwelling. It was a warm place, its hot wells causing a humid, almost tropical climate which reminded them of Khalenwyr, their ancient homeland. They accepted the Grand King’s generous offer and with his help they created a Golden Age for their people that lasted almost a third of a century: From 13 SA, which marked the establishment of the Mitzuul Grove to 40 SA. The Kharajyr prospered; A temple was erected in the town, a tavern created that was frequented by travelers and the people grew numerous, for many Kharajyr united under the banners of the Nanotzin, “Supreme Leader” Rha’kir. Decline of the Grove [!] A painting depicting the eastern section of the Mitzuul Grove Sadly however, those years were few in numbers. The decline soon came, after many Kharajyr had been steered up by the conflict that loomed over them. I was too young and inexperienced, to stop what was happening myself… [!] It appeared the manuscript ended here. It was never finished by the aging former Lord of the Kharajyr. Peacefully, Ixltub had faded away at last on his desk on a ship in Vortice. Would his legacy go on? Unlikely. The Kharajyr were a lost people, and the Mitzuul Grove likely was the last time, that Kharajyr culture had flourished. Somewhere in Aevos a grave was erected by a friend: Ixltub Morthawl Former Lord of Kharajyr 1782 F.A. - 178 S.A

Renata Alba had many a fine dress prepare for the coming events! "You definitely should, Fae. How else will you impress people?"

A body would wash ashore along the river that ran near the farms of Haense, the body would be bloated and worn from tumbling against rocks in the river. The corpse would be slightly unrecognizable, only covered in a degrading dress with floral patterns on it as the long brown hair would be tangled with weeds, yarn and a set of broken glasses. The female body would rot out of the water for a few days before a farmer came to inspect it. The man was horrified to find the decaying mass, covered his nose and came closer to look for any identification. The only thing he could find in the woman's pockets was a broken knitting needle with words 'Return to .... Ludovar'. Freya's last moments were blurry, from losing her glasses, to falling, to being in excruciating pain, it was all very blurry. It had been a few years after the blizzard had ended, the snow was melting slowly with each day, yet it would refreeze into ice overnight. Maybe she shouldn't have been returning to the keep so late at night, Freya could have stayed in the tavern. But she was blindly stubborn and left back for the keep hours after the sun had set. So, as she walked up the steep steps, she walked over hundreds of times, she tripped and fell forward. The glasses on her face fell with her, landing at the edge of the steep mountainside. The woman groaned in annoyance, slowly inching her way around to look for the things that would let her see. She crept up to the ledge unknowingly and found her glasses. Freya stood up as she put the glasses on, frowning as the glass was cracked. One step forward and she was falling again, screams cut short as her head hit the jagged rocks on the mountainside. Silently she fell until landing in a pile of snow on the side of the mountain, her head pounding as she would begin to bleed to death. Her body would lie in that snow pile for months, frozen in wait till spring came and the snow would slosh down to the river beds. Her body moved with the flow, getting pulled under the rushing water that moved to Valdev. The farmer would wrap the corpse in a large blanket, pinning it shut with the knitting needle before hefting the body into the back of his cart and starting the long walk to the Ludovar's keep. After many hours, he would arrive, and giving his best explanation he would hand off the body to any adult present. "I found the lass' body by the farms, looked to be washed ashore. I am sorry, that is all I know." The man would be quick to depart after that, leaving whomever there to deal with the smelling corpse.

Rafael Arsenico, Infante de Hyspia and Baron de Evaristo, readied his most fanciest and flashiest robes. "Maybe I should resume training too, in case there is a tournament?"

Dame Leoni of Acalonn heard of this new group developing from her partner while she resided in her home. Bedridden, the Devil-Knight grimaced at the news. "An even more extreme group of valah than the last... I suppose they gotta keep themselves occupied somehow. God forbid they actually help against the likes of Azdromoth as they attempt to destroy ALL of us, regardless of creed or race..."

A mechanical drakeling delivered a parchment to Cerulia's gate; ------ "HELLO, your Serene Marq-ness! I am a despiser of Darkspawn and Capitalist extraordinare. I'd love to set up shop in your land. Where is Cerulia, in Lurin? Capitalist Farewells, - John Augustus G. Of Balian."

EL PUENTE The Coming of Age of Hyspia La Corte de Girasol 2nd of Francisco’s Resolve, 100 D.R. [!] A depiction of the debuting Hyspians. EL PUENTE El Puente is a week-long Hyspian festival, in which lifelong connections are bridged and made. Friendships are formed, companions with whom you can enjoy your time alongside, and for some, they find their lifelong partner, their spouse. The Sovereign State of Hyspia is pleased to announce its first El Puente festival as its generation comes of age. The festival will take place from the 21st of Maria’s Peace [Saturday, May 11th] to the next Saints week ending upon the 28th of Maria’s Peace [Saturday, May 18th]. Sign-ups begin today to be slotted for a debut and end in a Saints week. INFORMATIONAL GUIDE This guide shall provide the necessary information to our citizenry and visitors on what to expect in the upcoming El Puente. On the matter of debuts, there are a few things of note to keep in mind for those attending: When planning your clothing, it is best to keep in mind that this is within Hyspia - heavy furs and coats may lead to heat exhaustion, even as food and beverages will be supplied. Those debuting are encouraged to wear familial colors, with a hint of blue somewhere upon their person. Hyspia is known for its vibrant wear and fashions, and for those unaware of it, an informational missive has been attached as an in-depth look into Hyspian fashion. Men and women alike are meant to debut, with participation meant to come from both sides, and those of all status. In an effort to keep this from being a lengthy process, royalty may debut alone, those of higher status debuting first - while those following shall debut with their family. Showcased once before in history, under the Queen-Consort Sofia of Hyspia, an exchange of tokens will take place. Those debuting are requested to bring a token, whether a flower or item of sentimental value - which are then to be given to an individual they believe has most contributed to who they have become today. FURTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION The following will be a guide as to etiquette to adhere to during El Puente. The donning of tiaras is allowed in this for the nobility, should they have an ancestor they inherited it from. Be careful not to be alone with another, as it could lead to rumor and scandal. Chaperones will be around for this very reason. A Quinceañera is a cultural tradition in which when a female comes to be fifteen years of age, a coming-of-age celebration is held. The male version, though more uncommon compared to its counterpart, is the Quinceañero. When wishing to propose courtship, the offering of pearls is what one must do. When filling out your application to sign-up, which the form will be attached below, a Peer is the titled head of the household of your family, for example, this being the Viscountess Denodado or the Baroness Halcourt. The heir is the declared heir of that household. If you are neither, you will simply mark that you are neither and specify whether you are a commoner, nobility or royalty in one of the following questions. Otherwise, as to your application, be sure to include your full name, what nation you reside in and any pertinent information for our El Puente planners. If one wishes to partake in the upcoming El Puente, one may direct their interest towards the form below. Sign-ups will end on the 12th day of Francisco’s Resolve of 101 D..R. (7th of May) and we will be accepting no more entries thereafter, as the debut list will be published once closed. Signed, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, Dimitri Otto of Koravia, Soberano-Consort of Hyspia, Duke-Consort of Pacazu, Baron-Consort of Arenisca and Del’mar, Lord of La Dorada, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Gran Maestre of El Orden de Francisco, Protector of the Hyspian People, Protector of the Farfolk HER HIGHNESS, Renata Alba de Pelear, Infanta de Hyspia, Baronesa de Clemente

The redline states the base movement speed increase which doesn't include the slow. The leg effects provide a flat +2 bonus as you say.

OOC Note: The name of one character has been removed out of courtesy due to that name being placed on a sign left over from an LC paste.
