If only the community would actually listen to this and not read it just to say "real." Then go on doing exactly what this say not to do.

It is a slur that is used against people of color. A real-life slur. I have every right to be upset about this and not brush it off. I've had slurs used against me before and would appreciate knowing that this server is a safe enough place to not incorporate terms such as those into it. This isn't some made up word that wouldn't actually be harmful to another person. You think of it lightly, but it is not something light. How hard is it not to use it? Alas, my words fall on deaf ears.

Real life slurs should never be used in an RP server or AT ALL for the matter. Usage of such degrading terms "in taste" is not acceptable. There is no way to do so. Slurs are slurs for a reason, and the fact that this behavior was brushed off in such a manner also makes Moderation look worse than they already do. How can you use a slur "with taste"? By separating yourself from it? Easy for someone to do when they've never had to deal with something of the sort. It's ridiculous that this is a "open conversation" instead of it being an important and enforced rule not to use real life slurs in RP. Made up ones that fit the server? Fine. Made up fantasy world, made up people, made up slurs for different races. However, an actual slur that is harmful to a real individual who could have already dealt with this before in their life? Absolutely not. Why is it that people like this are given safe spaces to makes distasteful comments and get away with it? It's almost like Moderation wants the decline of LoTC and the reasonable side of the player base. The usage of real life slurs should NEVER be a slap on the wrist. Deflecting or shifting the blame doesn't help either. No side was right when using harmful terms to either person. As the Mod Admin, you should know that placing blame on the opposite is only going to cause more problems. Stop being the fuel to the fire and actually do something to put it out.

A potato-obsessed child wanders from place to place seeing the same missive repeatedly. Finally, she takes one and squints as she flips through the papers without much of a clue about them. Her eyes widen as she sees her aunt's name signed on the final page. The twelve year old rereads the pages, though this time more thoroughly and to the best of her ability. Upset with what she could make of it, she shakes her head and furrows her brows. "Mess with my Auntie, and you're deemed a lowlife cabbage," she grumbles as she munches down on a mushy potato then marches off to search for her beloved godmother. -
Growing up, Fyriena, otherwise known as Fyr, has always been happy with her life. She thought nothing but the best of it. How could she not? She has a warm and loving family, good friends, and lives in the best settle an elf in tune with nature could ask for: Siramenor. Like a true wood elf, she enjoys the nature surrounding her and takes in all the beauty falling more and more in love with its enchanting look. As she grew older, Fyr’s parents taught her the importance of the forest. Soon she started to follow Elnarsae’ame making sure to treat the forest as an equal rather it being inferior, and her faith grew stronger and stronger. Each day when she practiced her beliefs, she found more love for the forest she lived in and every living being that walked within it. Though, when she isn’t indulging in practicing her faith or just admiring the forest’s beauty, she can be found reading about the Elven History. Fyr isn’t really a bookworm, but she adores reading everything from Iblee’s War all the way to the present day. She’d even stay awake day and night rereading such tragic events. To Fyriena, knowledge of history is very important. Nothing could be more interesting than learning about the past and imagining how the present came about to her. In her eyes, faith, knowledge, and family are the most important values to uphold.

As a child, Eivlynn was very fortunate. A beautiful elf with dark hair, tan skin, who wears a nice green dress to match her emerald eyes. Born into the Wood Elves, she had a loving family, a wonderful childhood, no siblings and loved to adventure and be carefree. Under the zodiac of Faesu, Eivlynn’s love for nature was quite natural and so she became a very curious child though she’s very naive as well. She was sociable enough to get through conversations and have great friends, but nothing distracted her more than the beautiful forest she lived in. Eivlynn’s parents, as any other elvish people, were very in tuned with their spiritual side. Her family, part of the Sirame Seeds, would pray every night to the raven goddess, Kwakwani, and Eivlynn’s father would often perform the Ritual of Fortune to keep their family fortunate. Eivlynn dreams of venturing out and learning more about her culture since her knowledge isn’t as wide-ranged as the others. She hopes to learn all she can while adventuring and to pass it on to those who are like her.
