Another baby… somewhere…. is cooking.

"Did they skip a book?" Juniper wonders aloud, noting the sections skipping from Book I to Book III.

Esfir squealed, quickly taking to Balian to meet her first nephew with excitement! Oh, how she was going to spoil him.

Little Augusta wails in her crib….

I think i would kms in ur shoes sorry

A wretched Widow who had fled the fight just as it began. She received the news from the safe confines of her hideaway, and upon such a revelation she too let out a dry laugh, bitter. Her own cowardice saved herself from the fate of the - to her - nameless man, and she reveled in the dishonor that kept her head secured to her neck.

Regardless of any sympathy she may feel toward the fallen, selfishness and self preservation consumed The Widow. She continued onwards. This would not be the end of the war.

((I’m on my phone so excuse the formatting but I had fun watching the fight (and escaping, oops!) Great post zonty))

"Ea donnae think anyone's ever published this many letters to the Duma before," An Amador mused to her father within their house. "Perhaps vy outta give her some recognition or something for such dedication to the government." @critter

Welcome friend!! <3

Esfir, matchmaker supreme, grins at another successful (oocly coordinated) match, and begins preparations to attend.

Juniper makes note to send a letter to her children, reminding them to be wary of.... certain people.

Esfir looks to her sisters. And then to the catalogue, and then to her bank account.....

why

Esfir, despite already having found a match, fully intends on dragging her boyfriend to these events in matching outfits.

There was a huff as one voidstalker read the missive. And then, a long trek up North...

Juniper, wherever she may be, found herself with a copy of the missive, humming upon reading the Coven’s name with vague familiarity. She made a note that a letter should be written, at some point. And then, she returned to her nameless travels.

Esfir, who was in a meeting discussing a Ludovar-Amador marriage when the phenomenon occured, cannot help but take this as a sign from Godan.

Esfir reads with equal intruige and horror. She reminds her aunt, Theodosya, to ensure that their library under consutrction is kept under strict lock and key. @lalo

we could also buff enchantments... please....... I need money.........

Esfir grinned, holding up her invitation proudly. "Ea've really got a knack for matchmaking.. Ea was right to push William to introduce himself." And then with a hum, the Amador set off to find a dress to wear and prepare a gift for the couple!

A Haeseni Amador sets off to look for the rabbit, grumbling about something along the lines of "-the cruelty of involving innocent animals..."

This sort of thing is what does bug me about the current death mechanics. People just being annoying with it. For one, you have people like the Ferrymen or bandit "rpers" who literally find any reason to justify killing a character just so they can make you d40 and take your stuff. They abuse the system so they have no consequence for killing characters and thus generate 0 real RP around the action.

THIS. There have been several times where I've been in like a 1v4 or against a character much powerful than mine just to bandit me. During the Haense/Veletz war the Amadors had a breakin problem where we had an orc literally just camp our keep and when I ss'd there to drop something off, I got one shotted over the head (an elderly woman unarmed can't do much about that). 

It's not fun to pk to someone who doesn't care at all about the narrative or storyline because they don't see the consequences of their actions; their character won't even remain affected or even know that their victim isn't coming back. They just see that I have everything soulbound and are disappointed because their no name oneshot kill didn't have anything to nab.

I am not very good at creating solutions, especially because I'm not very familiar with deific/dark magics, but maybe having a certain number of revivals? Like maybe (idk if this is a lore example so don't @ me) Xan is like "alr buckeroo you've died like 3 times now I'm not gonna revive you just for you to get killed again". 

Idk, just a thought. There might not even be one good solution, but I do think this debate thread is an interesting topic I wouldn't have thought about on my own.

Esfir beamed to herself after the ceremony had concluded and the news was announced, quite proud of the matchmaking she had done for her dear twin and longtime friend. “Nie thing but the best for mea sestras… They will be dobry for each other, Eam sure.”

Liridona, from the Seven Skies, smiled down upon her cousin. "Ah, Sterly.." She mused with a smile from her place above, "We may have had our ups and downs, but how far he's come. Surely, he's made his kin proud."

Esfir weeps as her sister is stolen away by the EVIL ERIK KORTREVICH!!!! She shakes her fists angrily at the sky.....

....Before running off to make only the best and most perfect gift for her beloved sister.
