1 Peter 1:3: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."

“Time after time upon the field of battle we defeated these heretics and we shall do so once more! MARCH TO WINBURGH!” the young soldier of Balian Elijah Von Alessandria would remark as he sallied his horse towards the Midlands of Veletz with the rest of his compatriots.

Recruits' Experience in Adria Folly of Markus Sarkozic Prelude: In the early dusk hours, we marched forth from Balian towards the newly reformed Duchy of Adria to fight them within some small fortifications we saw from our encampment but upon further scouting we noticed that their numbers had dwindled so severely that rather than haul our siege equipment from Drusco we could order a simple cavalry charge forward. Our rally consisted of thirteen thousand and eight hundred cavalry units, with a mix of infantry. The Battle: Upon waking early that morning to begin preparation for the battle to come we cared for our horses and began fitting armor, weaponry, and such to their saddlebags for the fight. But as we marched forward from our encampment and came into first view of the Adrian’s Host we realized that their numbers had dwindled to a meager six thousand seven hundred men half of which were infantry positioned in some old ruins. After some brief exchange of arrow fire, our commanders ordered a charge across the length of the battlefield to surprise the Adrians with a full-on frontal assault. And within mere moments the Adrian lines had broken with man and beast attempting to flee our deadly blades as we swung down at them! But it was far too late for every last man was slain upon the battlefield as the Calvary of the Grand Covenant galloped triumphantly homewards.

"If they truly desired peace they would unconditionally surrender their lands and lay down their weapons..." the young Elijah von Alessandria sitting in his small apartment would remark to himself.

A Recruits Account Of The Siege of Stassion The muster call for the Siege of Stassion came swiftly after the victory at Hippos Gorge, it was at this point we sallied forth to the lands of Stassion. In the long year between the campaigns, we pitched the tents near the Aaunic vassals directly in front of Stassions Keep. Over the months men and women of Haense, Balian, Numendil, Petra, Hyspia, Aaun Norland, and the Dwarves of Urguan. Before long the number of men mustered exceeded twenty thousand souls, the largest Army assembled in the Realms of Aevos. In the distance, we could see the Orcs of the Iron Horde, Men of Stassion, and Veletz upon the walls readying their defenses for the upcoming Siege of Stassion. All of this seemed for naught upon the day of the battle. Shortly after dawn, the opening salvo of the Coalition's cannons and trebuchets would send stone and metal against the Earthen walls of Stassion. Hour after hour the walls of Stassion would take severe punishment from the Coalition before crumbling down the cliffside towards the River Petra. At this, the King of Haense issued the “CHARGE!” and we jumped from our camp and sallied forth breaching the Throne Room and Courtyard of Stassion. In mere minutes the Battle was over as over ten thousand souls lay dead upon Stassion. Those who survived the initial onslaught in the Keep soon found themselves run down by the Coalition Calvary. It is with a swift and brutal end the short-lived Principality of Stassion came to a Brutal End. Written by Recruit Elijah von Alessandria

The Young Recruit Elijah von Alessandria would be utterly puzzled how such a horrible contraption could be built in mere days. "Strange indeed" he'd remark in his room.

You have can in my tile.

I’d have to say that lately the server is moving off course. Currently I’ve played online during a single raid which occurred in Balian around 1am ET. In order for them to get in they used a single raid ladder topping over our already quite tall walls bringing in twelve people, it was with this that a lot of us in the late night VC were confused because our walls were around 18-20 blocks tall which should’ve been enough but with the new raid equipment I’ve heard the ladders can climb up to 25 blocks tall. That should be removed, personally I think that the tools are cool but they are just too overpowered currently where only a few nations have the ability to defend against them naturally. Another issue is moderation team, I currently feel like a lack of communication always occurs, where if a player needs help instantly and we DM them in-game or discord it’ll be ignored or replies to in a few days. It’s also a concern that I’ve realized almost always now that the mods are becoming biased against certain players, this isn’t every mod but there are people on the team who seem to be biased towards players. Further things I’ve noticed is that new players are largely ignored by the masses of the server who don’t care to integrate them into the server. At the start of the map I had a small community of maybe a dozen players and we would welcome new players in now usually they didn’t stay long but we had two new players quickly integrate into the server and they fell in love with he concept. How many nations by ignoring newer players are missing out on growth? In the end though our faults don’t rest with the staff team many issues lie with us for not demanding a better experience, we continue to play even though certain aspects suck, and until we demand better for the community these can’t change whether it be the raids, moderation or integrating newer players into our larger communities.

Far easier on Almaris.. The new system is a lot of back and forth between swapping my ss slots between different pillars.

How did I know this would happen..

@AnonymousAlexathats just a shitty thing to do.

Make that five within the first forty minutes now. @Llir@itdontmatta@squakhawkcan we figure this out. This isn't fun for those wanting roleplay.

Since the launch of the new temp map only thirty minutes ago (Post made at 1:30am EST 5/23/2023.) I have had the Petra Camp raided twice and myself been killed four times. This isn't what people meant when give us freebuild & pvp. We need rules and limitations. If we have defenses in place around our camps they should have to follow raid rules per usual. And same for killing people without rp. This isn't what anyone meant when we said we want an island beach episode. Some of us want to rp for the memories of the transition not remember it as a time when we logged on we died four times in half an hour...

Okay so we all know now that it’s switching to a new temporary map from a post admins made earlier. But I just wanna get an idea of how deeply unpopular the temporary map was so vote in the poll!

Philip d’Azor having met Marys several days beforehand with his Cousin Fallons visit would smile reading the missive as it was delivered to him. “Congratulations Cousin Fallon!” He’d write back to Fallon Bishop. @Fawnytheturtle

The Old Edith Hope gives a nod of approval in her chambers as she hears of the Return of the Prince . “God speed.” She’d silently say under her breath.

Yes the Hope line still continues nearly 4 years later having started in 2019. Mainly kept alive by me nowadays and @JudgedKitty
