  3. Aerith learns of the missive in the tavern of Dunwen, and as she reads through it next to her adoptive mother, squinting. "I mean, they're right, Vortice does ne have any darkspawn... Gus would kill them on sight."

  5. Aerith hums, reading the notice. "I'll be sure to make something custom for them both. Maybe some rings? I do ne know." She shrugs as she sets it down in her office, making a note to attend the following elven day. Vivian catches wind of this, and sighs to herself. "I can't go," she cries to herself. "I can't risk someone trying to kill me with aurum, or being barred from entering the city with aurum lines on the ground." After a few minutes of moping, she picks herself back up and wipes her ghostly tears away. "I'm just... glad Apollyon is happy," she murmured, returning to cleaning up her tavern.
  6. The Unified Domain of Vortice Council presents this newsletter for all to see.... View the Shops of Vortice! Far too little people have actually had the chance to see the shops of Vortice, and the Council wishes to change that. With this newsletter, we hope to share with you our shops and why they are truly the backbone of our Realm's strong trade roots. With so, we have provided paintings of each shop's interior, so that you may see the glory in image form before you come for your next visit! We will first join together after we enter the gates... Welcome to the square! Most of our city is carved within the Karsts of the east, which means our square is one of the largest open areas within the city, consisting of two stories. That's two whole large, open spaces with a ton of open shops. If you get lost, have no fear- we've a large scale map of the pillars. You are here! And if you decide you'd like to buy anything, then you can find the bank directly in front of the lift! For the first shop we'll be visiting, we will be stopping by our resident coffee shop, Talon's Roast Café, located directly in front of the main gate as you go up the stairs! A cozy spot run by our resident, Wes Vertesk! Vertesk truly loves coffee and caffeine as a whole, and has an entire space dedicated to showing it off. When he's in the city, he typically has about five to six people sitting and chatting in the café as they enjoy one of his famous Avery blend coffees, or even his Cordius blend! Up next, we will be visiting Nueve Co. Trading Company, right in front of the bank! From paper, to horse whistles, to pieces of jewelry, Nueve Co. has it all! We'll be heading next to Sturmweber Company Limited's very own Tobacco Shoppe & Lounge, owned and ran by our dual-resident Varik Sturmweber, and his brother, Roland von Sturmweber! Interested in cigars or cigarettes coming from a locally owned business, rather than that of a major company? Come check out Sturmweber Co. LTD's Tobacco Shoppe & Lounge, get your relaxation on! Next on our list is Onyx Customs and Potions! While remaining simple and quiet, many people still visit, as they tend to want custom weapons or high quality potions from the Sovereign Consort and Minister of Foreign affairs, Gusiam Jusmia! Even if you want just basics, like a traveling pack, a normal sword or two, or other products Gusiam may sell, check out his little weaponsmith corner! He's likely to have what you're looking for. Up next, we'll be visiting Maelstorm Jewelry and Living Dolls! Owned by our local jeweler and Minister of Internal Affairs, Aerith Maelstorm, whom, despite her many jobs, takes her time crafting and perfecting each piece of jewelry she makes. Whatever piece you may be looking for, she likely has it. And if she doesn't, she does take custom commissions for any piece you want made, whether it be something as simple as a ring, or something ornate like a crown or tiara! And next on our list of shops, we've got the Royal Haeseni Shop! Run by our dear friends in Haense, it typically is stocked to the brim with necessary materials. And further on we go, to our locally owned tattoo parlor, Hummingbird Tattoos and Flowers. Owned by a local who would like to omit their name, it is a very lucrative business, with the sale of custom flower bouquets being distributed throughout Aevos. And finally, we head to our last shop that's being shown- we've saved the absolute best for last! Glorier's Atelier! A friendly bard and artist, Glorier strives to make the nicest, most visually appealing art he can, as well as the most audibly appealing music! His work is, truly, a work of art! (Ba dum TSS!) So make your way out to Vortice, give yourself a nice treat to the eyes! You deserve to see all of what Vortice has to offer, even moreso than just the shops in the square! Come meet us and hang out, we won't bite.

      Instead of making a cringe and frankly pathetic whine post consider pinging me directly next time. The person in question had an insane tantrum and tried to pugsy two of my players. My comment was entirely warranted. This type of vapid tone policing is one of the worst aspects of the server.

      Consider facebook or twitter as alternatives.

      "Instead of making a cringe and....pathetic whine post..." "My comment was entirely warranted"
      Yeah sure, have fun thinking that. You used an actual legitimate slur against someone who is very likely to be a minor after they rightfully called out your friends for making sexual comments about their character and then harassing them in VC and begging for their IG to harass them more. Just because they were angry or throwing a tantrum doesn't warrant calling them a derogatory term.

      What a loser lol.

  8. HARD AGREE. If someone offers to just give you their shit so they can ss away or walk away just… take it dude, leave them alone, don’t force them to d20. It’s ass that it’s completely allowed to push people to d20 just because you want to ruin their day.
  9. TBF, I think it’s mostly new(ER) players who don’t try at CRP. Not the pink tags, but the people who have been here like a week or two and think they shouldn’t have to CRP because no one taught them how to. It’s kind of like when you’re in school or at work, and you have a manager or teacher who doesn’t tell you the instructions for the project or duty you’re meant to complete, and expects you to know how to do it- then you’re meant to present your task in front of others, and you go, “I literally had no ******* clue what to do.”
  10. So I've got a hot topic here. For the last few months, even before the current war began, there has been an abundance of CRP involving powergaming, emote debates, rules-lawyering, time-stalling and harassment of people who have barely ever gotten into IRP conflict to the point where they get frustrated and want to call mods, and the person attacking, who likely has at least 2 sets of PVP gear on them, just says "If you don't like how the CRP is going, why don't we just PVP?" It's honestly really tiring and frustrating and upsetting to go through hours of the conflict, only to be told that they either deal with how the other person is RPing (which is typically really base level powergaming and borderling rule-breaking) or PVP them. Then, not only that, if the person just puts up with the CRP, they're forced to d20 or be popped, even if they just offer to give all their items to someone, because the attacker wants their head. Or, if they actually get mods involved, the attackers just offer to void it all, having successfully wasted hours of the person's life just to be an *******. What the **** is up with this? I'm all for a good CRP session, but come on. Don't force me into a 3 and a half hour fight where any time I try to do something that would legitimately be logical to do in real life, you combat it with "Well you didn't emote the exact space your character was standing in, and you didn't emote turning your wrist in that direction, oh you didn't emote that your shield was facing the left and not the right so my spear went directly into the left side of your chest piercing your heart-" and then, when I express frustration, try to convince me that "This could have all been avoided if we just PVP'd!" Come the **** on bro. Like fr why do I have to emote every micromovement just to avoid being rules-lawyered? (Not an interaction I've had personally, just shit I've seen in screens from other players! I tend to stick to one spot most of the time.) I'm just sayin' man.
  11. The thing everyone thinks about smaller realms/nations is that they're "dead" just because they don't see anyone for the 10-30 minutes they're around. But these realms/nations have peak hours, where there are numerous people spread out through the cities. Just because you don't see anyone in the square or entrance of the city does not make it a "dead" realm/nation- it means you're not looking in the right places. From my own position, I see an average of 10-12 people in Vortice most days of the week, usually at peak hours between 2pm to 11pm EST. And that's because most of our playerbase is of working age or college age, and either work or have class until specific times. But so many people operate on the belief that Vortice is dead, because 1) the gates are closed due to consistent banditing, and 2) people are spread through the entire, very large city. I do activity checks in the city frequently, too, about once every month and a half, without notifying players, meaning that they have to be active in the city to see that they've received one- which typically, with the exception of two people occasionally, everyone passes. I find most of these arguments that smaller realms/nations are "dead" and "useless" to be in bad faith and based in bias of larger scale realms/nations that often have numerous new players poached into them.

  17. THE VORTICIAN TRADE FAIRE Throughout Vortice’s history, trade has always been at the nation’s core- a staple of its longevity. Hosting a city against a port has a marvelous crew of peddlers, tradesmen, adventures, and so on. No matter where they hail, all are welcome to sell their goods within Vortice and we look forward to you joining this day of merriment to celebrate the commerce for our second trade faire. On top of our typical events for the trade faire, we are also hosting a costume contest for Knox-o-ween! So get your spooky on, and dress up for the occasion! For more information on the typical trade faire - https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/227646-vortician-trade-faire/ [!] A depiction of those who were there at the first trade faire, gathered around the fountain frog known as John The booths and stalls provided within the square by Vortician Council are limited, and are expected to fill out fast for the event, so if you’re interested in taking your place at the faire, contact Lenora Jusmia, Gusiam Jusmia, Aerith Maelstorm, or Wes Vertesk to get yourself situated with a stall. As with the precedent set last time, there will be a trophy handed to the merchant that sells the most goods during this event.

  20. [!] Flyers would be posted up on noticeboards in neighboring cities. SEEKING LIBRARIANS Seeking librarians for the library of Vortice's capital, Talon's Roost, teachers for Cordius Academy, and employees for the Whirling Chalice. If you are interested, send a letter to Aerith Maelstorm (braverysys) Interviews will be conducted in Talon's Roost, with drinks being provided to interviewees. If you are selected for any positions, payment will be discussed.
  21. DRINK MENU Alcoholic Beverages - 5 Mina Talon’s Roost Iced Tea An unusual blend of vodka, gin, tequila, rum and orange liqueur with sweet iced tea, vanilla extract and sweet cream is a perfect mixture of flavors on a hot evening. Watermelon Gin Punch Wonderfully sweet and overflowing with watermelon flavor, this cocktail brandishes a fruity, sweet gin with flowery notes as its main point of prospect. Served in a chilled glass over ice, with a mint sprig tossed in for garnishment, add a bit of lemon juice and you’ll find every sip to be bright and fresh. Appletini A small martini glass with shaken and chilled, brightly green colored green apple flavored liqueur and vodka. This fruity martini is both boozy and refreshing, giving you a pep in your step for the night. The Mudslide Sweet, creamy and chocolatey, this beverage is perfect for anyone with a craving for sweets. This beverage consists of high quality vodka, coffee liqueur, sweet cream, and chocolate drizzle over the rim of the glass. Maelstorm’s Madness The madness of a Maelstorm is one that few people know, but those crazy redheads do know how to have a good time. This tall, chilled glass is filled with gin, tequila, rum, vodka and lemon juice mixed into a fruit punch over ice! Winter Wolf A dark brown ale served in a tall, curving glass. The ale is heavy and has an almost syrupy consistency. The taste is incredibly sweet with a bitter aftertaste. There is a fruity, almost floral overtone to the taste. The taste and smell of wintergreen resonate through your sinuses. There is no head to this ale, just a fuzzy feeling that your senses seem to disappear into. This drink is full-bodied and will warm you from the inside. It is not a subtle drink, but rather one to consume in large quantities. Acid Bath Swirling around with a top layer of small ice blocks, this light green liquor sheens with an almost jade-like coloring fading into a dodger blue hue. This drink would have a warning attached to it, "Be wary of the damage this liquor would bring." Drinks included in this beverage: vodka, gin, silver-blue agave distilled beverage, white rum, a blue liqueur made from orange peels and spices with natural food coloring, lemon juice, and a dash of CONCENTRATED white tea. The barkeep serves the beverage cold with a layer of small ice cubes, pours the liquid into a tall glass with a slice of lemon for garnish, and stirs the cocktail with a swish. With a swig, you would observe the brilliant color of the mix, taste the aggressive citrus sweet zest concealing the amount of liquor, hear your rapid heartbeat, and feel the burn of the vodka as it leaks down your throat. The liquor's sting is as refreshing as a breeze on a blazing summer day. Lady of the Lake A mostly clear liquid with a slight teal, ocean blue color swirls around three blocks of ice. A pristine, mixed drink combines quality citrusy gin, light semi sweet tonic water soaked in medicinal bark, large ice cubes, fresh lemon peel, and butterfly blue pea flower powder. The mixture between the gin and tonic should be around 50:50 and add to have a refreshing balance between the citrus-juniper flavor and the bittersweet essence of the cinchona sprig. The peel would be stirred into the drink, twirling in a whirl and sinking towards oblivion. The Black Dahlia The Black Dahlia flower has a beautiful deep, dark purple-maroon hue. This drink attempts to capture the essence of such a unique plant. The preparation itself demonstrates the strive for perfection this idyllic plant represents. The ingredients for the cocktail are fresh blackberries, sugar cubes, lemon juice, gin, vodka, and a bisected cube of ice. The drink describes the nature of a young bloom, a naïve, syrupy sweetness flowering in your mouth. As dreams were cut short, the beverage's flavor would abruptly transform from saccharine to the bitter, sour realization of what reality has to offer. The final sip portrayed the burning gasp of what was a last, dying breath, desperately clutching on life. Goodnight Kiss A deep scarlet drink transforms into a velvet-rich hue. This cocktail combines an ounce of scotch, a pinch of smoked bitter botanicals, a hint of smoky apricot flavor, a dash of a sweet almond-flavored creamy blend of liquor, and a syrupy bittersweet-flavored liqueur with a light citrus tang. Pouring the cocktail into a closed mason jar, the bartender places the jug into a sealable white oak box with a smoker underneath. This process creates a slight wisp of hickory smoke on top of the drink and is served with one large cube or chunk of ice. The taste starts sanguine sweet like the lips of a first love that then dissolves into the bitter, flaming remnants of your ex's charcoal body on the bed of an oak forest. Tail of the Dead This gin has a clean, clear, and white appearance. The drink is served with a wedge of lime and a two-inch-thick cube of ice. The Tail of the Devil has a complex flavor that starts with a sweet taste of apples. The taste then gives way to a strong, bitter taste of pine and citrus zest. There is a minimal aftertaste, and the drink is generally well-received by most who partake in this beverage. The drink is served in a short and wide glass bottle with a label that has a picture of a tail with flames coming out of it. Circa Year 132 of the Second Age. The Fearless Frog A pale golden whiskey, distilled from a mixture of wheat and barley. The whiskey is served with a cube of ice that has been hand-carved to resemble a frog. This drink has a heavy, mind-altering taste. The initial taste explodes onto the tongue and quickly gives way to a slow burn that spreads through the chest. The alcohol content is high enough that those not used to it will experience slight vertigo and blurred vision. The Fearless Frog is made by distilling alcohol in an ancient copper still, hand-carved by the dwarven master, Count Durlak. This drink is popular with those willing to take a risk and try something new. Untamed Cleopatra An orangey drink with a transparent appearance. This cocktail is a mixture of gin, a large cube of ice, a hint of fresh lemon juice, and a dash of fresh mint extract. When poured into a glass, the drink turns opaque and milkshake-like in consistency. This cocktail is topped with an orange slice and is reminiscent of this fictional queen. The taste starts sweet, then gives way to a refreshing aftertaste. This aftertaste is slightly bitter, but not enough to ruin the drink. This cocktail is good for an evening filled with laughter and wild abandon. The Burning Mountain Majesty A bright orange drink with a clear, glossy appearance. This cocktail is made from distilled whiskey, a hint of fresh lemon juice, and a dash of honey with a large block of ice. When poured into a glass, the drink turns opaque and milkshake-like consistency. The taste starts sweet, then gives way to a bitter aftertaste. The beverage comes served in a shot glass that resembles a rounded, hollowed-out rock. This cocktail is good for an evening spent contemplating life, liberty, and happiness. Hot Chocolate (Spiked) A sweet, dark chocolate liqueur with a hint of espresso that is mixed with warm milk and a dash of cinnamon orange syrup to create a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Served in a mahogany mug, the drink is topped off with fluffy, white marshmallows that sit just at the surface. The marshmallows slowly diffuse through the beverage, keeping the hot chocolate from getting too cold as it sits on the table. Surprisingly filling for a drink with little to no alcohol content, the hot chocolate is the perfect drink for curling up next to a fireplace on a cold winter night with a good book and someone you love. Sapphire Breeze A captivating and sophisticated beverage that brings together the allure of premium gin and the refreshing essence of blueberries. Sip and savor the alluring blue hues as you embark on a delightful journey of taste and aroma. Infused with the essence of hand picked blueberries and a carefully selected artisanal gin, distilled with a delicate blend of botanicals in the sky city of Talon's Roost, the drink of gems exudes a burst of fruity sweetness with a subtle hint of tartness. Crimson Whiskey Fusion A captivating red-hued alcoholic beverage that marries the timeless sophistication of whiskey with the allure of a rich, crimson palette. The Crimson Whiskey Fusion is a masterful blend, where the bold character of well-aged whiskey intertwines with the deep flavors of red fruits and spices, most notably giving a cinnamon apple taste. Each sip is a harmonious dance of complexity, with the robust notes of whiskey giving way to the luscious sweetness and subtle burn of the cinnamon. Non-alcoholic Beverages - 4 Mina Pumpkin Spice Tea Cool weather festivities just wouldn’t be the same without the comforting, smooth sweetness of spiced pumpkin - and neither would your tea time! Warm and rich in flavor with lingering cozy aromatics. This tea is flavored with pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Green Tea A simple cup of green tea for your guests. Green tea is almost translucent when brewed to perfection. The green tea is served in a porcelain teapot and poured into white porcelain Li-Ren cups. The green tea should be a bright green color with an even stronger aroma of fresh, steamed green tea leaves. There is an extremely faint sweetness that accompanies this tea, almost unnoticeable, but it gives the tea an overall good flavor that is extremely refreshing on a hot day. Sunshine Harvest A light, incredibly fresh-tasting tea served with a wedge of lemon and a slice of orange. It has a dark amber appearance, almost looking like honey and faintly smelling of oranges. This tea has a unique taste that sparkles on the taste buds and fizzles at the stomach. And like all good teas, it creates a feeling of pleasant freshness. It is perfect for any time of the day. Blueberry Iced Tea This delightful iced tea starts with a base of high quality black tea, carefully brewed to perfection. The smooth and robust tea provides a solid foundation for the infusion of juicy blueberry goodness. Bursting with flavor, the ripe blueberries lend a sweet and slightly tangy note that tantalizes the taste buds. The beautiful blueberry hue of the iced tea is visually captivating, inviting you to dive into a sensory experience. It beckons with its inviting color, promising a delightful indulgence that is as visually appealing as it is delicious. Tranquil Hibiscus Bliss An extraordinary iced tea that combines the delicate allure of hibiscus flowers with a harmonious blend of botanicals. This drink begins with a carefully selected base of premium loose-leaf black tea, sourced from the finest gardens. The leaves release a gentle fragrance that awakens the senses. The vibrant hues and subtle tang of the hibiscus flowers make for a captivating flavor profile, offering the perfect balance between floral elegance and refreshing coolness. Presented in an exquisite glass, garnished witha delicate hibiscus blossom, this tea is a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. It's vibrant ruby-red hue is a visual reminder of the tranquility and natural beauty found in a secluded garden oasis. Serenity Tea Expertly crafted from a harmonious combination of premium tea leaves and a blend of carefully selected herbs and botanicals. With every sip, you'll experience a symphony of flavors that dance gracefully on your palate, creating a soothing and satisfying sensation. The taste profile offers a perfect balance of delicate flavors. The tea leaves provide a smooth and robust base, while the carefully selected herbs and botanicals add nuanced layers of complexity. Whether it's the gentle warmth of chamomile, the invigorating zest of citrus, or the earthy notes of aromatic spices, every element harmonizes to create a blissful and comforting cup of tea. Blissful Berry Medley A captivating and refreshing beverage that invites you to indulge in the vibrant flavors of nature's bountiful berries. Immerse yourself in a symphony of fruity delights as you experience the perfect fusion of sweetness, tartness, and pure bliss. This drink is a meticulously crafted juice blend that showcases a harmonious combination of luscious berries. From succulent strawberries to tangy raspberries, and the rich depth of blueberries, each sip is a tantalizing journey through a garden of flavors. These sun-ripened gems are carefully pressed to extract their vibrant juices, preserving their distinctive flavors and nutritional benefits. Served chilled and garnished with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of citrus, Blissful Berry Medley presents itself as a visual delight. The vivid red hues of the juice evoke images of lush berry fields and sparkling summer mornings, beckoning you to savor each sip with anticipation.
