The Princess of Celia'nor smiled after having met with her old snow elven friends, a glass of wine was shared amongst the good company, "It's time, the age of elves is upon us."

WAGWAN PENG TING aldemar camp with the start of the azdrazi gang :) self explanatory... YES, very excited. best, Nehtamo (rukio's elf), worst fat emma mareno (she smells like wet beef)

Emir's amnesia arc never do it. i've actually made a new character recently to just be a dorky scholar high elf. the best characters come with no set goals in mind just an idea and to let rp take its course imo you (duh), julius, milen, gus, nectorist it's been lost....no hope left...

I have too many characters... but for Valyris my main, she'd probably be closest to wandavision. Beboon @squakhawk He helped teach me everything with Julius when I first joined LT. I had an Irongrinder for a while! Played Mcdaedra's daughter. Definitely the potential for using the sea and ocean due to minecrafts own constraints making it incredibly difficult to rp in the ocean. Ocean magics, sirens, underwater cities, pirate rp, it would be so much more immersive if they could have more potential mechanically. I personally wish people included more folklore into their cultures. Especially in a world where the magical and mystical exists, I'd love to see more things that are just fiction based on real in lore things.

I think anyone who says that is coping and needs to get good. ( @Throne) Not so much a song as it is a playlist; 1.) Robbing all the books from Haelun'or's library. 2.) NOOOOOO THEY'RE ONTO ME 3.) THE BIRDS ARE EVERYWHERE AHHHHH THEYRE IN THE POND, THEY'RE IN THE TREES, THEYRE IN MY WALLS. 1.) I love gooseberries, I can eat an entire container of them and usually do in the car after I go grocery shopping. 2.) Honestly, I think everything happens for a reason and I wouldn't have done anything differently. While I wish certain things went different, I wouldn't change them. 3.) Coffee, Rose, Margaritas, Smoky Old Fashioned, Lemon Water, London Fogs, Sweet Tea, a drink in the canary islands called LecheLeche, Ginger kombucha, Yerba Mate Razzle Berry flavored 4.) Definitely, had too many weird things happen to not. 5.) I'm wicked good at blackjack. my DOGS yes, after I'm done NLing, playing Valyris's daughter for lotr rp whenever valindra comes back to the homelands Hello Esterlen. I am doing as well as I can do, and am as well as I am capable of being. Hope all is well. Warm regards, A Friend.

I LOVE! Howl's moving castle is a favorite of mine, along with spirited away. They're great comfort movies when's the vow renewal?? i'll double it and pass it to the next one....

getting rid of groomers and freaks, making lotc a safe place cepheid is a type of variable star and I am in school for astrophysics. i did one of my project on cepheid variables! i've tried a little bit of everything, but maybe a paladin or holy-knight of some sort since that's the one niche i've not done yet. omg... aphotic howl. geniunely love ilaria as a character though, especially since you've translated making an artistic character really well into LOTC which is something that is often difficult to do i had an orc back in 2019 as one of my first characters, nyako'lur which was booklight's kid i just tried, broke all my bones, call an ambulance my neck is twisted the wrong way...

you're all equally my favorite :) It's a tough draw between mysticism with Mordu and Hex and the eventlines Malaise ran as Azdromoth back in 2020. Both were some of the most fun I have had on the server and met really awesome people through them in the groups. Malaise made his events super personalized and immersive despite Azdromoth being this huge entity on the server, he personalized it really well for those that were involved with Azdrazi and Heraldry to make it unique to the person. I didn't get the best experience with darker magics the first time around with shades, and mysticism was a complete 180 from that with both the community and ic experience as a whole. who says its not both :J when morur'ei came into the city about alucards death voidal magic wise i rly love the culture we've made in celianor for mages and when i ran the arcanic court at the start of it. though a close second would be as a newer player having been apart of the voidal tears of arcas (even tho i've later found out that it was not entirely lore accurate, still was fun)

It's been an insane four years (in two days on April 23rd) of playing on LOTC, and my first time doing an AMA, so ask me anything!

Valyris glanced towards the skies as a ward was placed over her city by forces beyond her comprehension. A brow was lofted when she then read the missive before her, while it was a surprise to her, it was not an unwelcome one to have something of the cosmos turn in the favor of her people once more. "The City of Stars and Embers... safe for now."

CONSEQUENCE OF THE COSMOS 17th of the Amber Cold, 124 SA Nightmares and dreams, they’re all the same in the end. The torment that pulls and tugs at the soul and the mind to anguish over what one hopes to be and what one hopes never to come. It is in those dreams that we find solace within the surreal, only for time to turn its hands back to our unending reality. A reality that we cannot escape from unless it is within that of dreams or nightmares. Only this time did a nightmare unfold into reality, screams of unrelenting anguish echoed across the forests of the West. An ivory tower had fallen, crumbled into chaos and ruination of kin. The cosmos clashed with the machinations of the material realm, cracks, thuds, and the sound of stone slamming against stone echoed through those very halls that represented the sanctity of the stars. It all crumbled around at last, the glass house that shrouded them from the impending dangers and she was there to witness it. She knew that this day would eventually come, that which seeks to consume and destroy always does. For the folly of mages was inevitable, the fault of others that followed her no matter where she went, no matter how much she tried to stop it. She woke up with a start as the walls rumbled and the cosmic hues shot wide open. The buzz of electricity that was felt in the air and the energies that spun through the room around her. Deafening shrieks of uncanny horrors and citizens caught within the crossfire had surely been heard. A sinking pit was felt within her chest as she knew exactly what had occurred, the unthinkable and the inevitable. She rose from her chambers with an odd thing in her grasp, a tome of forsaken ideals and nightmares of what had occurred. She checked each room with a strange calm that had overtaken her in a wave of disassociation amidst the chaos. The clicking of her boots rang through her ears down the quartz corridor, each level of the palace scanned for signs of life yet there was nothing left. Nothing left but her, how ironic, as the abyssal mists began to wrap around the book that she held close. Forsaken…. Cruel… Abandoned… Darkness… Emptiness… Hollow… Forsaken… Guilty… Unworthy… Not her… It’s her fault, it’s all her fault, it’s all her fault… What has been done cannot be undone… She knew what would come and she still abandoned us. I knew what was going to happen and yet there was nothing I could do to stop it. Did she make it? Was she just protecting it? It’s her fault, and now I have to pay the price. Unworthy of filling that which cannot be filled, expectations that weigh down until they crumble. Crumble they have from that ivory tower of faux providence. What has been done cannot be undone as the thralls of the cosmos have latched themselves into our reality. The sky had fallen to a darkness that enveloped that of the new hope, Fi’andria. A step was made out of the gardens and into the open hair as unforeseen horrors ripped apart the city. Gore and viscera painted the city in its unrecognizable state, the streets running red with a river of blood. A nightmare on repeat, the hands of reality turning back between two ticks, only it was no mere nightmare. The escape was gone as the perturbation of the cosmos had melded with reality, and this was the cost. What she dreaded to escape from within the dreams and nightmares, had come to fruition. What has been done cannot be undone. I tried to be better than them, better than the rest of the world. To avoid the mistakes that all who have walked this same path as I am upon. Painted upon in the light of the world as a malefactor of the realm when all I have done has been to do what I believe to be right. Not to hide behind a fractured facade of a paragon of benevolence much like each and every other in my own position. What was it all for if the Descendents point and blame when they are guilty of far worse? The secrets that they hide in the dark, believing no one knows, believing they can get away with such. Yet here I stand amid the chaos, in the midst of what happens when one cannot feign what they are not. The figure made her trek forwards towards those that were battling the amalgams of chaos, agents of flesh and bone mindless to anything other than to consume. Crimson sticking to her boots as it sloshed over in tides of puddles down the path. She did not see the people fumble but prevail as the last of the horrors was slain by those defending the defenseless. They prevailed, despite the odds they prevailed. The only casualties were those to follow by their own ignorance, those that wandered too close without warning. The lucky few to have made an escape from the nightmares. The Princess of the Cosmos then began to take on a strange hue, unlike anything seen created by one’s voidal alignment. A torch in the dark, to become something more. The City of Stars would soon make known its second namesake, the City of Stars and Embers. The embers have been ignited by the beyond. But the hearts of men are easily corrupted. It had been an endless toil between those that had remained to fight against the void as a certain stillness washed over the city of stars and embers. A static buzz clung to the air as the amalgams of the cosmos were confined to the walls of her home. The Elaneh'celia Palace, in absence of a beacon having finished on the cusp of the designs finalizing, the cosmic pharos had erupted in its stead to be ripped apart by the fabrics of reality. The ritual had failed for what was a failsafe by the progenitor of tears, what could rewrite time if not for the weavers of it themselves? Blinked to various points across the realm did most of their numbers result in going to. A tug was felt at her soul, to run, to flee from that which wished to consume. Resolution. The word rang within the mind of the elf as she stepped out of the hollow, perhaps an answer to what it was she so seeks to find. She paced back in observance of the shockwave that had rippled across the field and she had her answer. It was not a curse for which the land could not be cured, but it simply was not ready to be so. Hallowed ground be made anew, manipulated to use for the defense of the city against the onslaught of forces soon to arrive at her doorstep. Maddened creatures of the beyond that lingered at the cusp not yet to be released into the material. If the inevitable is to come across these lands certainly it would not be so easy by taking what does not belong. What has been done cannot be undone. Yet, it does not mean the tides of those that linger within the caves cannot be felled off. If not forever, then for the time needed to scorch the earth, the time needed to set ourselves apart and flee. It is not the end, but the beginning of what will become. To cleanse the land, from cave to cosmos, that is what will be. That which is fated to ilMaehr'sae Ilkun'ehya.
