Álfer, like the absolute Chad of an elf she is has no clue what is going on in Haelun'or, cause she is on vacation in Norland in some cabin in the southern regions where an ocean stream keeps the place warm, like the gulf stream... Sadly the weather is also trash so it snows all the time, and therefore Álfer sat inside the hut with a book and quietly read in peace "hmm, very interesting." the book was very interesting.

Complaint The Advertisement Initially I joined this server because one of my friends told me about this amazing ROLEPLAYING SERVER that put aside mechanics like stats, powers, game mechanics and grinding. A game not like sitting around playing WoW but rather attending a virtual Live Action RolePlaying game. when I look at this forum I see banner saying "welcome to lord of the carft, the #1 Minecraft Roleplaying server." but now, after the new map what I see when I log on is no longer the roleplay server I joined last year, it is now a crafting MMO with a roleplaying skeleton hanging in the back. The same can be said about the time the staff decided to rob players of their freedom of speech by banning and changing the words used in both RP and OOC to ones they found fitting their world view. The System As I see it standing right now the system has overtaken the roleplay. if you want to create something or do a job in the world of RP you will have to engage in a weird confusing unintuitive and frustrating system. you have to run around and click on things to then run back to a block and click on it, eventually running out of energy making you stuck and unable to do any of the things that seem to be new gameplay loop of the server. perhaps you could fix it by adding making emerald tokens a microtransaction that you replenish a certain amount of energy. At what cost is the goal worth it? if what you are known for is your roleplaying then why forsake it for a mechanical system that seeks to make realism of an engine not designed for it? so what if the economy is weird and fucked up... perhaps a solution could have been to have made a 'background' system for when creating a new character, limiting the amount of mina you could receive through voting. as it stands now I fear that though being realistic the system put in place will be too tiring and drag the RP apart leaving you with what I already feel we have turned into, "a large fancy looking prison server with medieval skins"

yes. i’d like to see guns. i don’t see why we should lock down and deny the narratives of what seems to be almost half of the server. as i keep stating over and over and over. LoTC is not a ‘medieval’ fantasy server. it’s simply a fantasy server, and one that is capable of exploring mulpile different period in time. like... we have people RPing vikings, and people RPing communist victorian/edwardian **** (haelun’or). allowing guns would be an AWSOME implementation, it’d be simple. place a restriction on them to be flint lock weapons or a fuse (like REALLY old guns) as for the “no, this is based on lord of the rings.” argument, i’d like to point my finger at Gandalf’s fireworks. while they are not explicitly stated to be gunpowder, they obviously are. if you don’t want to do gun rp then don’t do it, distance yourself from it. it’s what i do with extremist religions and i barely notice them.

Merfolk (Currently Undergoing a rewrite.) Origin & Culture Origin The merfolk originated when once upon a time an daemon was bored and decided to perform itself a little experiment. So it took an elvish community of people and sank their entire home which was found on an island to then soon after give the people of this now sunken fish like tails, gills, webbed fingers and scales. Culture Their culture is one quite similar to most others, it’s controlled by a central hub known as ‘kingdom’ though it’s ruled by a queen. Merfolk are known to have a low fertility rate, this is due to the 7-10 year gap between a pregnancy and the possibility for another child. Because of this fertility merfolk from all around often gather to celebrate once a mermaid has gotten pregnant. Children are very valued in merfolk culture, but once they hit the age of 14 they are most often left by their parents to learn to fend for themselves. The food merfolk eat consists of aquatic plants and raw fish. Their agility and speed in the water allows them to catch these beings for consumption. Though technically possible a merfolk can eat the processed food of surface dwellers, though the processing of the food will upset their stomach. Merfolks find themselves living in old sunken cities or settlements constructed in coral reefs. Here they live like most other beings with guard forces, artists, medical staffs, merchants. These cities are controlled by a queen holding absolute power and authority. Physical Description Merfolk are species carrying the body of a humanoid but the tail of a fish instead of legs.in appearance their tails vary from merfolk to merfolk. Some may carry a tail akin to a goldfish whilst others may carry one akin to that of a shark. The merfolk body bears patches of scales, usually small flesh coloured scales on the cheeks or torso. The fingers on a merfolk hand are connected by a stretchable fish like webbing. Along with their hands their ears too carry this webbing, having multiple thick points that stick out and are connected by web, these ears are not much bigger than the ones found on a human. A merfolk has sharp teeth which they use for eating fish beneath the ocean wave. These teeth have also been known to tear the flesh of humans occasionally. ey use to breathe underwater, though it is technically possible for them to breathe on land too, as long as their gills keep shut as their lungs won’t be able to expand if the air slips out atJust below the breast merfolks have a set of gills which th their gills. Mental Description The merfolk are by nature a curious species and have been known to poke their heads out of the water to look at boat-travelers. They are also a teasing species often in the mood for poking fun at people. Around the age of 250 merfolk will go feral. Feral merfolk seek out surface dwellers to drag them beneath the surface for them to then eat the surface dweller. Abilities Merolk can breathe underwater and swim faster than normal humanoids. If their gills are covered and kept shut they’re able to survive on land without ‘drowning’ Restrictions Merfolk are unable to walk on land. Merfolk can live up to the age of 300 but go feral around the age of 250. Merfolk are an infertile bunch and require both parties of a FTB to roll a 15+/20 Merfolk can only reproduce with other merfolk. Merfolk have to keep their gills shut when they are on land. Purpose OOC merfolk are a species made to provide RP and unique gameplay to the oceans and streams of LotC , on top of that they provide players a reason to use the ocean for more than just a way to hastily travel using a boat. Even more so the creature gives people a unique set of restrictions by denying them use of the land.

~Basics of Stitching~ Stitching, or rather as it would be called in the context of this book; sewing. Before we get into sewing we first need to understand what it means to sew. The most common way to sew is the act of using thread to connect two layers of fabric, either to create a hem or to unify pieces fabric. The act of sewing is an art form and as all art forms it must be practiced. This book will go through 3 different methods of sewing: the running stitch, the running backstitch, and the back stitch. The Running Stitch The running stitch is the one that you are most likely the most familiar with. It is classified by with simple in and out pattern that leaves small dotted lines on your garment, though not as strong as some of the other stitches it’s quite fast and as so often used on sections of dress that are means to not take so much stress, like the panels of a skirt or dress. The simplicity of it makes it useful for small seams down into the millimeter units. When going with a running stitch it’s often useful to have a pillow or cushion beneath it as to secure the stitch as you go along. [!] An image of how this stitch is performed is shown on the right side of the page The Running Backstitch Like the previous stitch this stitch is classified by it’s in and out pattern, though unlike the normal running stitch this one is characterised by it’s overlapping of the last stitch bundle, the effect of this is that you will get the efficiency of the running stitch in the speed department, but also a more secure and stronger reinforcement of the thread. Usually the running back stitch is used over the normal running stitch because of it stronger support. [!] An image of how this stitch is performed is shown on the right side of the page The Backstitch The Backstitch is the most secure of the stitching methods in this book, and it’s characterised by the fact that everytime the needle passed through the fabric it returns to the lazy hole for a secured stitch. Often when using a Backstitch there isn’t even a need to tie a knot to the thread when starting the sewing. Though the Backstitch is far more time-consuming than the other stitches it’s the strongest, and may be used for parts of garments under stress like armpits and sleeves. It is by some accounts the standard to have 20 stitches per inch, though the thickness of your fabric may determine that you'll have to do with fewer. When Backstitching make sure to pull the thread firmly as a loose threat will weaken the seam and by extension the garment. When a Backstitch has been performed correctly it’s quite strong, and difficult to tear. So when reading books where people pull off their hems to make makeshift bandages it’s a sign of them having poor quality clothing. A quality garment wouldn’t tear.
