The Island Of Armaluna

[NekoDanie 346]

*A cryer on the Wilven Sancturary Docks announces with a booming voice;

“ArmaLuna! The paradise island of sandy beaches and bottomless ale! Home of the peaceful, humble and free! There lies Asulon’s Academy of Bards and Minstrels- who are now accepting new students! All aboard the ship, heading for ArmaLuna!”

His jolly demeanor immediately attracts a crowd. When you approach you can hear the sounds of a soft melodic voice accompanying a lute. Beside the cryer, a bard in a colorfully patched up gown, strums gracefully on his instrument. You listen carefully to the lyrics;

...Seekers of knowledge,

Past and present.

Patrons of speech,

Beneath luna’s crescent.

Words of ancient,

Cryptic and true,

Telling tales of wisdom,

Through language renewed.

To the beat of a snare,

And the chords of a lute,

The calls of our voice,

With the pipe of a flute.

Our melodies ring,

In Asulon’s mind;

The song of our students,

One of a kind.

The melody gradually drifts to a gentle end and fills the crowd with renewed hope of an escape from the stench of death hanging thick in the air.

The cryer unrolls a portrait of a serene island with white beaches. In his other hand, he holds up a scroll with an elegant green script.

You take a closer look and read…

ArmaLuna Scroll

Druid Alan listens to the cryer, interested in his words.

"Bards and minstrels, you say? Sounds entertaining! I'll have to stop by when I can!"

I personally am glad this is finally ready. This is a project that I have had the pleasure of overseeing for the passed...what 2-3 months? So much work and time has been added to this place, lore, teraforming, every last block was placed with a purpose. Im happy your dream is finally flourished! It is simply beautiful.

*He notices the crowd and approaches, his interest piqued. As Toren nears, the voice of a man carries above the murmur of all others.*

"ArmaLuna hm?" *Toren muses quietly to himself* "I think I shall have a visit once I'm free of my duties."

((The video is awesome by the way! :D ))

(( crier* Grammer Nazi yay!

But in all seriousness, I might use one of my sibling's accounts and reroll a minstrel or something. ))

Gronkk doesn't understand most of what's said, but his ears perk up at the mention of song. He lumbers towards the cryer with an ecstatic grin upon his face.

GRONKK AMZ REELEH HOSH SINGAH MI DUU ID NAO EUR HUR!!!

The fat Orc begins to sing nonsensical lyrics whilst lacking key, pitch or purpose as he's herded onto the boat, struggling to board properly.

Uhm this popped out of nowhere, I don't want to say it is a bad idea. It literally is the first I have heard of this and it just appears with no real rp reasoning. People also complain how wide-spread the player base is and now...

[NekoDanie 346]

This has been mentioned on the forums many times before. And its been in the works for sometime now. Follows of song have always been about, just a rare breed. Now there is a college for those who wish to follow it more intensely.

Also, there is a boat there. So its easy to get to.

[Daniel 88]

No I mean ICly not OOCly. Since the settlement was just created and already a nation it didn't go from a village or a town. It never grew but just popped up it seems.

[NekoDanie 346]

Many people from Normandor have visited the island countless times before this. And there were previous residents as well. Also we never said it was a Nation, its simply an island.

[Raptorious 1899]

The video says "Nation of ArmaLuna" :/

Otherwise it looks beautiful. Cant wait to come down there and kil-- I mean listen to some bards.

Typo on Sinstrites part, he shall be tarred and feathered.

[BannanaToYou 196]

Yes, this is nice, but I don't understand how all this was suddenly build, it's an island, so the items would take a long time to gather and take over. But Neko's an admin so I guess it's ok and every things under control.

[Daniel 88]

But what about spreading out the player base this is a issue we see a lot these days and I haven't seen it be brought up here, so that is why I am bringing it up.

It's a small settlement on an island, an island which was there before ArmaLuna was "released". New settlements aren't the problem with the spread of players, and even if they were it would be a very small downside compared to everything that is amazing about this beautiful island. []
