ARE YOU KIDDING?!? I cannot ever escape their shenanigans no matter how far I run!! I go to a normal board meeting? A Starchild pops up and banishes me to greenland! I meet up with my local Demon Warlord? Another manifests out of thin freaking air and hands me a cursed sword with my mother's IP address on it! I take a normal stroll through a normal city and I see a templar casually chucking YET ANOTHER ONE off a Bridge!! One even turned my adopted kid into a hecking sparrow!!! YOU LUCKY BOO BOO!! YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL TO LIVE A LIFE THAT PEACEFUL!

Molly!! Hello hi hello!! Hope you've been having nothing but fun and happy anniversary! :} Anyways, what's better: Antlers or Horns?

CHANGE THAT NAME QUICKLY!! BEFORE THE OTHERS SEE IT, YOU NAIVE SOUL!

Very happy to see the administration's efforts continue in regards to this issue! Wish you lot the best of luck in your attempts! : >

EXTREMELY helpful guide! I freaking wish I had access to something like this in the past :'> It explains all issues in a detailed manner and actually goes the extra step to also elaborate on the "why", seriously well done! I'm really curious to see how future pieces will be affected by this

FINALLY! Some quality Vampire RP at last

The Primeval Times An excerpt, from the ever talented @Zarsies' ever wonderful Rewrite of the Aengul Wyrvun, detailing the events of his release from his eternal prison and subsequent purification from Iblees' corruption in his time as Ondnarch through the efforts of the Dwarves: This was an event that will soon be closing its 11th IRL year since its occurrence, that's a lot of time. A LOT of time. Enough time for barely any of the actual players that partook in said event to probably still be in the server.... But during some silly dingus' (me) quest to find as much lore material on sweet lovable Wyrvun around 10 months ago, with the incredible and extremely kind help of the Dwarf Community and @Cpt_Noobmanspecifically, I was given links to actual recordings and videos of that "Primeval time of ancients", showcasing the very event that lead to such a historical lore moment. With the channel itself seemingly having many other such recording from other moments in that same eventline as well entirely different ones should it pique anyone else's interest. And with all that said, please do enjoy the show! Video's Timeline:

I do genuinely think that the Fjarriagua were always something extremely unique within the server, far beyond the basic niche of an "Ice Sorceresses" or "Witch". The mixture of their gleefully monstrous nature that they never make any excuses for, the way that their dominion of over ice is described as a "Extension of their body", their highly communal, social and teamwork-based nature as they see each other as one big family of inhumane abominations. And even the more lore-y bits such their wonderfully written creation by Wyrvun, Skjoldier's mix of mysteriousness and ever present sense of it being their "Home" despite all that. It's not something that can ever be replicated by a Voidal Magic letting you shoot out ice cubes.

No, you'd actually be right in that case! I should've been more clear; Disguise RP can be extremely fun but only works as intended when you always have something far more stable to fall back into. For example, if I disguised my witch today, did a bunch of sketchy stuff in a city and got exposed, said disguise, all of its connections and status had just been thrown into gutter. And that's okay! Because disguises should never be expected to last and you should still keep a low profile even when disguised to avoid any manner of hunters. Which is why when said RP becomes your ONLY kind of available RP, that you end up with cases of a single instance of maybe metagaming, maybe some random innocent bloodtest or maybe just good ol' investigation work causing months' worth of RP to be undone in an instant, as you were kinda forced to put all of your eggs into one very unstable basket. It was a frustrating ordeal for everyone involved and I am ironically so very happy that it was finally fixed into what it should've been like.

I might as well do this properly. After the amendment batch back in spring, it became extremely clear to me that the issue did not lie on some sort of (very real) Metagaming tendency of at the very least some players for years, but rather just the simple fact that... Disguise RP kinda sucks butt? It is an unsustainable form of Spoopy RP that even when it's working only allows you to engage in SoL RP slop in some random town. And the reason for why this type of RP had became the ONLY option for the CA for Years, was the simple fact that engaging in ANY kind of actively murdery antagonist RP would literally have your own lore go out of its way to punish you. Any death that wasn't caused by bloodloss (on the CA that might as well be immune to bloodloss) would have your Witch Soft-PKed indefinably, requiring an entire Frost Mother (which we've already established as being in a near constant shortage before even the most active one went and got himself banned like a dumb dumb), two whole other Frost Witches - and a freshly killed female corpse - You had to plan an entire hunt to revive a witch slain from either carelessness or infact another hunt. Leading in cases of Veteran players like Luv and Kiko being stuck in soft-PK purgatory for year(s) on end before it was our group (the last one remaining at that) itself that brought them back. And along with the fact that your magic would get absolutely gutted if you stepped out of a place already drowned in snow, every spell requiring an extra emote, becoming significantly worse if not downright useless and some being outright unable to use. Which certainly did not help that the only nations in the northern part of the continent were chronically inactive. It is no coincidence that as soon as these aforementioned amendments passed, that things like Skjoldienhjold (the UNHIDDEN icey keep in the far north) popped into existence and the Fjarriagua going on raids on the regular for the first time ever. One of the first raids we went on for example lead to the entire group getting obliterated in the Crub Bucket... And it was so much FUN! Which prior to the amendments would've resulted in the literal extinction of the CA as a whole, it was that big of a deal. The problem never was the FWs being weak "CRP-Wise" or something silly like that, they never even got a buff to their CRP capabilities in all this time, simply reworking the climate system to allow them to use their base magic where people were actually active. Which is why stuff like this is nothing but a blatant lie. The CA 100% was on the path to grow to become sustainable in its activity at long last (at least as much as all the other CA/MAs) , because you now had actual capabilities to engage in RP, hecc, I did far more impactful Antag RP in the first month after coming back from my summer hiatus than I had in my ENTIRE time as a Frost Witch. Which is what exactly had changed. I wasn't going to resume taking care of the CA when the only thing you could as an "Dark CA" was lure some poor dude on a back alley and shank him with 3 different knife-holding Fjarriagua that couldn't use their magic at all, because all your rituals and feeding mechanics needed you to murderhobo. The Fjarriagua could actually do stuff and grow as a community, and when its players' characters had grown enough I would make sure to make them Frost Mothers as well to finally end the cycle of the CA crumbling if the (last remaining) Frost Mother didn't get online to be a ritual battery. And in Diogen's defense, creating a new Frost Mother takes a really long time of actually "training" a new batch of newly cursed witches for them to be considered "Veteran" enough to take on the mantle, which certainly didn't help that prior to said amendment there was a huge burn out rate, as well as the fact that no sane person would get the 5-slot literal punishment to your character that becoming a Mother is, unless you were OOCly forced to (Source: My dumb dumb butt). I am really sorry to everyone, if I had the choice I would've asked literally anyone else to take on the mantle instead of me, what with me having been nothing but a terrible person to many many people that had tried to help in whatever way they could. But I promise, the CA still has so much left in it to make a full recovery.

Unfinished and never allowed to grow past being the "Misandrism CA"... Sigh

Did you seriously shelf the Fjarriagua one day after I finally got around managing to do the Frost Mother ritual, finally allowing there to be a new Frost Mother after all the other ones (Netphreak, Songwitch and Luv), who are all decade old Lotc players had become far too burned out and also after the singular active Frost Mother for YEARS got banned (for obviously understandable reasons) with there being an absolute refusal to either help the situation caused by administration for over 5 months and refuse any injections because of a playerbase that literally isn't in the server anymore at all. There were MANY people that had told me they would love to become Frost Witches and RP along all these recent months of there being NO Frost Mothers in ALL OF LOTC, but I had literally no power to do anything since there were no Mothers to create any new Witches at all AND any new Mothers at all. Not to count the amendment that would have instantly fixed this situation and allowed normal Fjarragua to create new mothers that was ignored for over a month until now.

Also!! It's a good idea to first use this here site: (https://rebane2001.com/mapartcraft/) in order to check how said map-art of yours would actually look like, as well as the best dimensions to use for it! :}

I mean, Animii crafting is just a Feat, an exceedingly common one at that, heck even I have it (even if I've literally never used it for anything...). So expect the feat to get spammed to oblivion if that direction was ever taken. And it goes without saying, but a machine made from steel, that possesses no manner of fear or self-preservation instincts and that can follow and understand your commands perfectly... Is VERY different from a freaking bear or wolf that is absolutely going to eat you alive if you forget to feed it a metric ton of food, which is made of squishy organic bits that feel pain and wish to not die as well as not being able to perfectly understand human language and commands other than extremely basic ones. Anyways thank you! :3 Here have some cheese 🧀

Pretty wild to think that literally anyone can use these without any issue rn. From a random peasant to a medieval knight to a literal demon or Lich, no less the fact that they need only be player-signed. +1

Won't lie, "Canary in the Coal Mine" Sprite RP sounds absolutely hilarious but also really interesting RP-wise! I can see it creating all sorts of intriguing interactions as a result. Aand honestly It's far less "bad faith" than any other manners of testing, as you still need to make a Sprite to actually suffer the effects of such magic to be able to "detect it", so there's actual give and take there.

SPRITES!!!! : > I am so very happy to see the fated rewrite at long last and I wish all of you the best of luck! Sprites have always been such an interesting CA in the fact that they are quite simply one of the very few Magical CAs that aren't just altered descentants, but rather entirely new beings with their own wholly different nature. :} Suffice to say, I am very much rooting to see this lore piece succeed and thrive, they deserve all the funtimes that this rewrite would objectively offer them and more! <3

Fjarriagua Motherhood Amendment Old Lore: Sabbath of Devotion The one truly selfless act of the Frost Witches and the symbol of devotion to one’s Coven to permanently dedicate oneself to the betterment of the Witches and their protection. This Sabbath aims to create new Frost Mothers when there is the lack of thereof in the community. The process in its entirety is a painful transformation with a great many sacrifices, and should the Sabbath succeed, the Witch will be reborn as a manifestation of ice. Proposed New Lore: Sabbath of Devotion The one truly selfless act of the Frost Witches and the symbol of devotion to one’s Coven to permanently dedicate oneself to the betterment of the Witches and their protection. This Sabbath aims to create new Frost Mothers when there is the lack of thereof in the community. The process in its entirety is a painful transformation with a great many sacrifices, and should the Sabbath succeed, the Witch will be reborn as a manifestation of ice. PURPOSE: Frost Witches have been negatively impacted for a long time by their lack of self-sustainability and the will of players entirely, this amendment will resolve this via allowing groups to diverge without the allowance of a singular figurehead. And the requirement of Fjarriagua needing another 3 pre-existing witches to ascend herself into Motherhood ensures that any new Mothers that are created this way will be ones that have proven themselves as capable individuals by said gathering’s unanimous ‘vote’ so to say. Along with some QoL changes to the ritual overall. CREDITS Writing by: Leyd & Agy Feedback by the Naz and Fjarriagua communities <3 CHANGELOG Nothing yet…!

Eh, why not.. [!] A leathery parchment would arrive, tiny flakes of ice gathered at its edges and upon it read: "I MAKE A BID OF 1821 MINAS!!!!"

Wish you the best of luck as always Pallo!! +1

WOOOOOH!!! FJARRIAGUA NUMERO UNO!!! Do you think Werewolves and Frost Witches can be best friends?
