So are all of your comments on this thread.

@AnonymousAlexa I am honestly so confused with you. You jump down @tilly throat for saying “oy vey” yet you defend someone who wore a nazi skin?? Come on girl.

I think something that people aren’t entirely grasping is that muna or toni are not here asking for an apology from this person. Nor do they have to accept or hear an apology from them. This situation has crossed a line where a simple apology just does not cut it. Muna and Toni are sharing this information in order to bring awareness so that an open conversation can be held and people can speak their truth. For those who believe this is a targeted post due to some silly minecraft war, please grow up and stop invalidating victims. Using shit excuses for someone who has threatened to sexually assault more than one person on this server, along with a whole other slew of wrongdoings such as using racial slurs, alting to avoid their ban, rping as a nazi, etc, really does say a lot about yourself and what you stand for. We may not like it but those who you interact with and are friends with do tend to represent who you are as a person. I hope people can take this into account as they read through this thread.

In all honesty I am shocked that someone like this could be allowed back onto this server. Safety is normally talked about as a top priority for most staff yet we allow someone who has made jokes and threats about sexually assaulting someone not once but TWICE. It is honestly disgusting and inhumane behaviour and in all honesty I do not think this should be allowed. Yes people can change, yet as @MunaZaldrizotistated, there was no remorse or empathy shown to those this player has targeted. I would have had more hopes in staff to actually protect people from vile human being such as this but it seems I got my hopes up. Big props to muna for bringing this to light so that everyone can be aware of this situation and what could potentially occur again on the server. Let’s hope three times isn’t the charm for this individual.

@ibraheemc2000Happy Ramadan!! Love that you do this every year, it really is special!

Accepting the missive from her cousin, Princess Elena would read it over with contemplative eyes. “. . .No.”@Kholibrii

Upon receiving word of the death of the Count Veroche, Elena would place a palm over her heart, attempting to hold back her flood of emotions. “Oh my dearest Lorina. . .”

Princess Elena could feel those burns from Balian. . .and this time it wasn’t the desert sun.

At her fathers side, Princess Elena would peer over the King’s shoulder, impatiently waiting for him to finally put down his quill. “I do hope this conflict comes to a swift end. . .” The Princess Royal spoke softly, watching the monarch officially sign the document. (@Shmeepicus)

“History is not the past but a map of the past, drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveler.” The curiosity of one’s past comes in an innate way as we all often ask ourselves where did we come from? Who am I and what has led to me being here and living on this very day? I have often found myself thinking such things as of late. The curiosity within me gnaws at my mind like an insatiable hunger that drives me towards the answers I have not yet reached. And thus, I find myself within my little shop amidst all of my books which only tell part of my story - my past and all that has occurred to accumulate up to my very being and presence. It is with great honor that I announce, on behalf of the Court of Monterosa, that the Kingdom of Balian shall host a ball of history so that we all may come together and celebrate our mutual pasts and presents. May we educate ourselves on those who have done our family wrong and right and those who have perhaps become forgotten, only to be rediscovered through the pursuit of knowledge. All those in attendance shall don the clothing of someone from your past, either of recent history or those of long forgotten tales. You are encouraged to bring a story and engage in dancing and merriment all while acting like your character of the past. Perhaps bridges may be built which did not have the chance many centuries ago, or foes may meet once more to relive their battles and triumphs of yore. INVITES ARE EXTENDED TO THE FOLLOWING The United Kingdom of Aaun The Duel Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska The Kingdom of Norland The Grand Kingdom of Urguan The Vale of Nevaehlan The Silver State of Haelun’or The Principality of Nor’Asath The Crown of Amaethea Signed, Her Royal Highness, Princess Elena Casimira, The Princess Royal of Balian, Countess of Rosemoor

Peaking over her teachers shoulder, Elena would eagerly watch as Manon would put the finishing touches on the missive. Quite proud of her assignment, the Balianese princess would take a copy for herself to show off her work to her royal family members. “Look, look! I am officially published!”

In all honestly I’m not someone who is crazy about mina. If I have it I have it if I don’t I’ll go and try to get it. In my mind making a really complicated mina earning system just adds unneeded stress. As a broke college kid already I’d rather not have to deal with being broke on mineman at the same time. If anything like others said, figuring out some plugins that could be more interesting in regards to getting mina like limited resources or how @WestCarolina brought up the food expiration plug-in. Something that is more rewarding and worth the “struggle”.

Upon receiving word from her father, the Princess Royal of Balian would let out an excited squeal as she would quickly begin doodling her very own coat of arms on whatever surface would allow her.

Leni’s Tomes & Trinkets is a new and unknown shop which, although new, contains a collection of books which has been accumulated over multiple human lifetimes spanning over all genres and specificity's. Located within the capital city of the Kingdom of Balian, Leni’s Tomes & Trinkets can be found on the main street of Atrus close to the front gates of the city. Should you be a traveler who lacks the natural sense of direction, simply follow the smell of worn leather and aged parchments that wafts through the streets and you will find yourself at our front door. From fiction to scientific works, our collection is very broad while also hosting pieces which could very easily satisfy your specific wants. Every book is for sale, yet some prices may not be listed in order to ensure the quality of the buyer previous to purchase. Each tome tells a story and belongs in an environment which will preserve its tale for more lifetimes to come. The latter part of the store's name does indeed ring true as different baubles and trinkets are put on display for purchase as well. Each trinket will be displayed one at a time to avoid the bloat and hoarding of the unique pieces. This includes the books as well, certain literature's only remaining on the shelves for a specific time in order to offer further variety and include specific interest and niches for our patrons. For weary travelers and those who are in need of respite within the bustling city of Atrus, an upstairs seating area accessed via the lift within the shop is open to all patrons and visitors. The cool breeze of the desert with envelop your senses from the surrounding open windows and the melodic chirps and tweets of southern birds might drown out the sounds of the city as they flit to and fro above your heads, also finding refuge in the various hanging bird feeders and man made nests. Everything which is displayed within the store is for sale, a buyer need only ask or contact the shop owner. Should a buyer fail in their search for a specific book or topic, a letter may be penned to the owner to schedule a meeting where the staff or owner of the store will go on their own search to write or seek out such an item for said patron or customer, the same applying to trinkets as well. Optional services such as these may come at varying prices and will be discussed and set upon meeting.

It would be under the guise of night of whence we departed Atrus, the stars of the galaxy above glinting off the armor of those in gambison and their weapons held at their waist. It seemed that while we were running across the endless dunes of the desert, the sound of hooves against the sand was nearly nonexistent until we reached the hard earth of the East. The green lands would become a sight once more of which we crossed at a steady gallop before reaching the sea. The salt in the air was the first sign of our destination, second being the softening of the earth once more. I think our horses found some relief once we reached the shore and they were free to frolic upon the moist sand. The land which we had reached was certainly unique. Scattered rocks and dried up chunks of coral would rest upon the shore, large sea shells sat unearthed upon the sand. Further towards the water, it would seem that an entire city and castle would be sprawled around. It was almost as if the city of ruins would have floated and landed upon the shore, similar to ships of yore wrecked upon foreign lands, left to rot and mold, succumbing into nature’s embrace. The first sign of sentient life, aside from the crabs which scuttled between the blocks of coral would be a group of voyagers - some could even call them pirates who were making merry and breaking bread upon the shore, betwixt the jagged rock sprouting from the sandy shores. It would not be long until the band of soldiers fired upon them, although not at the captain's order. Henceforth, fighting would begin and a most arduous task of taking down the ruffian sea travellers would begin, with arrows being sent to and fro with skilled accuracy from the pirates and Balianese alike. Even an armoured stranger who seemingly appeared out of thin air assisted in neutralising the threat, although their mysterious countenance would bring many questions for later. It would not take long for the Company to take over the grizzly band of pirates, suffering very few and minor injuries on the Balianese side. Cutting down the vagabonds, one remained - a scrawny and small boy who seemed rather out of place once his helm was removed from atop his head. The pirate, terrified and shivering, sputtered and begged for his life as he was restrained carefully, we were not taking any risks with this one. Between his incoherent ramblings, few words could be heard which included a small string of a sentence: “There is something not human within the ruins, something evil. . .must leave.” And so with that, we began to depart from the scene, although in the distant ruined castle, a scream of anguish would ring through the air - a creature was certainly stewing within. As a select few of the Balianese company would descend into the depths of the barracks upon their return home, the pirate in their midst as well as the strange observer did hardly put up a fight. The whimpering cries of the captured would echo against the narrow stone hallways until locked within his cell, which would then turn into prayers and pleads for mercy. As requested, such was spared as the captured cooperated with their questioning.

Wandering the bustling streets of her beloved Atrus, Princess Elena would pass by a missive which had been freshly pinned to a notice board. “Oh-! I wonder if Lorina will be making the sweets?” The young royal would comment to herself before she went on her way, seemingly on a mission. . .

While sitting at her work bench within her royal apartment, the Princess Royal would be tinkering away, examining and experimenting with different nuts and bolts to best fix her cuckoo clock. As her younger sister barrelled through her doors, Elena’s wrench would fly out of her palm, clanging against the floor. Her annoyance was short lived as she quickly discovered what had spurred her sisters excitement. It would not be long before the two girls would begin chatting excitedly about what they would wear and who they would meet!

Within the Palatio Monterosa, the young Princess Royal of Balian would be sat at her desk, pieces of a dissected cuckoo clock spread out before her. With a wrench in her hand, Elena would work tirelessly to create some sort of mechanical construct with the few tools she had at her disposal. “Something for Uncle Constanz. . .” A mutter would slip from the young girls lips as she focused on her task at hand. With each crank of her wrench upon a clock gear, a huff of frustration would escape the princess. “Everyone deserves to be happy, not just some. . .”

Issued by THE MONTEROSA COURT The 5th of Sun's Smile, 41 B.A. Over the past several months, the Kingdom of Balian has been tested, its people facing one of the largest threats in the continent's history. Yet, when faced with doom and peril, the people of Balian and several supporting nations overcame the dreaded undead and led our blessed nation to victory. Of course, with victory comes loss and in the midst of battle, many lives were lost. In order to celebrate the sacrifice these soldiers made, the Monterosa Court is happy to announce The Festival of Clear Skies, a celebration of our victory over the spawns of Iblees. Spanning several months, a variety of festive events will be held in remembrance of all those who fought bravely for our nation. MASS & FUNERAL LEAD BY CARDINAL TEODOSIO Wednesday January 25th @5:00 pm EST/10:00 PM GMT It is great sadness that comes with the greatest of bravery. In order to honour and show dedication to those we have lost, our most holy Cardinal will host a mass celebrating the lives and commitment of the lost soldiers of Balian. Followed by a funeral procession and service, those who wish to share words of love and praise to those we have lost will have a chance to do so. THE SNAPDRAGONS TOURNEY Thursday January 26th @6:00 PM EST/11:00 PM GMT For the many soldiers recovered from the great battle, men and women of Balian will be encouraged to display their ferocity and fighting skill once more at a tourney held at the Snapdragon Estate. For the top three winners of the tournament, a monetary prize will be handed out along with a full set of armour gifted to the top winner of the tournament. A COURT & MEMORIAL FEAST Friday January 27th @6:00 PM EST/11:00 PM GMT Closing out the months of celebration of the kingdom's defeats over the undead, His Majesty King Alexander I will host court where he will address his beloved citizens and pay homage to the soldiers we have lost. Following court, a celebratory feast shall be held where drinks will flow and delectable foods will be shared with nobles and citizens alike. All are welcome to join in this merriment as we celebrate life, love and those who may not be with us any longer. For those wishing to take part in hosting these events, please send a letter to Princess Augustina Theorosia (annanicole#0978) or Princess Royal Elena Casimira (Mady#1494).

Within the library of the Palatio Monterosa, Elena would be sat upon a plush carpet surrounded by a wide variety of books and scrolls. “Dragons, dragons, undead…” the little princess would mutter to herself as she scoured the shelves for information on the impending invading forces. With a “hmph!” The girl would fumble to her feet, pointing her index finger to the centre of her glasses to push them closer to her face. “I need more books!” She’d declare.
