Lets talk abt grass Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color/colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass" of the family Poaceae. This family is also called Gramineae. The family also include some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[1] These three families are not closely related but all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow very tall, such as Bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[2] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion). If you guys are nerd about tanks we will talk about it now. ;) The Panther KF51 is a German main battle tank (MBT) that is under development by Rheinmetall Landsysteme (part of Rheinmetall's Vehicle Systems division). It was unveiled publicly at the Eurosatory defence exhibition on 13 June 2022.[2] KF is short for "Kettenfahrzeug", the German word for "tracked vehicle".[3] Type Main battle tank Place of origin Germany Production history Designer Rheinmetall (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann) Designed Commenced 2016 Specifications Mass 59 t (65 short tons; 58 long tons) Crew 3–4 Commander (turret) Gunner (turret) Driver (hull) Additional crew member (hull) (Each workstation can hand over and take over tasks and roles from others with no reduction of functionality) Main armament Rh-130 L/52 130 mm smoothbore gun (up to 20 ready rounds)[1] Secondary armament 12.7 mm coaxial machine gun (250 ready rounds), 7.62 mm NATTER RCWS (2,500 rounds) and optional HERO 120 loitering ammunitions[1] Engine MTU MB 873 Ka-501 V-12 water-cooled diesel 1103 kW at 2600 rpm Power/weight 25 hp/t Transmission Renk HSWL 354 Suspension torsion bar Fuel capacity 1,100 l (242 imp gal; 291 US gal) The KF51 is based on the hull of the Leopard 2A4.[4] A new turret is to be mounted on the Leopard 2; the main gun is an autoloaded 130 mm calibre.[4] On 5 December 2022 Rheinmetall announced that it plans to mainly target existing Leopard 2 operators with the KF51.[5] For the man who said do water I will now do water. Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O. It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless,[a] and nearly colorless chemical substance, and it is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent[1]). It is vital for all known forms of life, despite not providing food, energy or organic micronutrients. Its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°.[2] "Water" is also the name of the liquid state of H2O at standard temperature and pressure.Names IUPAC name Water Systematic IUPAC name Oxidane Identifiers CAS Number 7732-18-5 ECHA InfoCard 100.028.902 Edit this at Wikidata PubChem CID 962 CompTox Dashboard (EPA) DTXSID6026296 Edit this at Wikidata Properties Chemical formula H2O Molar mass 18.015 g·mol−1 Appearance Nearly colourless liquid or nearly colourless solid (blue if looked through thick layers of water) or colourless gas Density Liquid: 0.9998396 g/mL at 0 °C 0.999972 at ~4 °C (Max.) 0.9970474 g/mL at 25 °C Solid: 0.9167 g/mL at 0 °C Melting point 0.00 °C (32.00 °F; 273.15 K) Boiling point 99.98 °C (211.96 °F; 373.13 K)Except otherwise noted, data are given for material in their standard state (at 25°C [77 °F 100kPa).Because Earth's environment is relatively close to water's triple point, water exists on earth as a solid, liquid, and gas.[3] It forms precipitation in the form of rain and aerosols in the form of fog. Clouds consist of suspended droplets of water and ice, its solid state. When finely divided, crystalline ice may precipitate in the form of snow. The gaseous state of water is steam or water vapor. Water covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, with seas and oceans making up most of the water volume on earth (about 96.5%).[4] Small portions of water occur as groundwater (1.7%), in the glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland (1.7%), and in the air as vapor, clouds (consisting of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation (0.001%).[5][6] Water moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation, transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Water plays an important role in the world economy. Approximately 70% of the freshwater used by humans goes to agriculture.[7] Fishing in salt and fresh water bodies has been, and continues to be, a major source of food for many parts of the world, providing 6.5% of global protein.[8] Much of the long-distance trade of commodities (such as oil, natural gas, and manufactured products) is transported by boats through seas, rivers, lakes, and canals. Large quantities of water, ice, and steam are used for cooling and heating, in industry and homes. Water is an excellent solvent for a wide variety of substances both mineral and organic; as such it is widely used in industrial processes, and in cooking and washing. Water, ice and snow are also central to many sports and other forms of entertainment, such as swimming, pleasure boating, boat racing, surfing, sport fishing, diving, ice skating and skiing. In conclusion, touch some grass

+ [!] Before the fall of Almaris, an elven woman salvaged every picture and note she could find from her good friend orion's family keep As the final battle went down she smiled as she sifted through the various pictures drawn of her child hood The guardian for a moment wavered emotion over coming her the pictures and missives scattering across the ground as she cupped her hands over her face, her tears soaking the paper she felt a hand placed upon her shoulder as a armor cladded individual took a seat next to her " Ahm here to listen if you need ah ear" The guardian looked at the figure and nodded, going back to the papers composing herself, picking them up and organizing them neatly placing them into her satchel " Orion was a man with many names, some called him a heretic, some a father, and some even called him a leader, which i dont doubt one bit giving the initiative he took when it came to his family" The guardian sniffed as she pulled a hankie from her pouch, wiping her tears away from her face, looking onto the battle that was focused at the gates " I called him a hero, Though many people would probably get very upset at those words, he was my hero, there ain nothin else to it, he showed me what it was like to have a real family, something i very much lacked as a child that's for sure! " The woman laughed as she placed her sword in her lap prepping for the inevitable Mori conflict " You know he used to tell me he thought id be strong one day, He used to think id actually make something of myself when i got older, but boy.. did I dissapoint " The woman glanced behind her as the inside of the castle had now collapsed revealing the exit to salvation, then to the armored individual, who was already preparing to leave himself. a scoff escaped her maw as she drew her sword. " Came back for that idiot, only to find out he was dead.. thankfully i recovered his written memories... i hope when i die i can buy him a drink in the afterlife. Farewell orion Father to many" the woman then turned and calmly walked into the exit of almaris, leaving everything she knew behind.. including the memories orion had left her.

A woman grinned at the missive, a look was shared towards the others around her, seeing the horror and the worry on their faces, A loud laugh was heard as she jumped onto one of the tables, pulling a pole arm off of her back, banging it down onto the table to gather their attention " Listen up! " The elf yelled to her petran comrades, A smile still plastered onto her face as she raised the pole arm into the air " None of you are hero's, I am well aware of that, I know you fear what is to come, but hear my words! Despite the cities that have fallen, Despite the allies we have lost, do not loose hope my friends! This may be the end, but i don't know about you, I myself refuse to crawl over and die for the mori scum, WIll you? " She slammed the pole arm down onto the table, the wood chipping at the sheer force of the hit " A man once told me, The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall Raise your blades lads, Survive, FIGHT TO THE BITTER END

A woman headed down the road after a well rewarded trip of hunting stopped in savoy, Meeting with Blume whom was mentioned in the declaration, After exchanging words between the two, the woman was shown the missive, Her hand gripped down onto her sword in frustration " The Roa's are a bunch of fools, the run their mouths on disownment of one of their own ret offer no reason on word on why this was event decided in the first place. " The woman pushed the parchment back to the girl, shaking her head in disappointment " Me and the gregorius fellow will be shareing a couple 'words' soon enough. Along with the rest of those fools who call themselves 'Honorable soldiers'. tch.. for shame.

R’Ikarth Clan History Among the lands that resided along the wide river near Helena, in arcas, between the swamps and peculiar creatures a lone ker was recruited with other hunters from Talhoffer to aid with the clearing of the area from the surrounding threats of his manor. This led to the founding of the original Esbec, the roots of the R’Ikarth clan and its traditions. In fact the clan takes lots of traditions, trials and customs from the past generations, its founder directly coming from a simple family of hunters: the R’enar family. The clan was officially recognized with the founding of Stygian Hollow, acquiring its first clan house and slowly making an influence in the Urguani lands, gaining another clan house in Huaven thanks to the good relations with clan Redfist. With the fall of Stygian Hollow the clan transferred its main clan house in the current dark elven settlement Nor’Asath. Culture The art of Hunting Before there were R’ikarths, there were R’enars. And with all R’enars, were their sabres and scimitars. A curious choice of armament for woodland hunters, and yet, it was tradition for members of their clan to wield such blades. While sabers and scimitars can be used in combat against fellow Descendants, the R’enars preferred to use them while hunting game, Dangerous game. In the best of circumstances, a hunter need only their bow to perform their task. To stalk the woods in search of their quarry, braving the wilderness and all the perils that come with it. And then, once their target is in sight, they are to line up a fatal shot, and let loose. And yet, not all hunts go quite as smoothly, especially when dealing with BEASTS and DEMONS. Why are woodland hunters fighting such creatures? I don’t know. Don’t ask. Either way, that is when the hunter’s sabers and scimitars come into play. The R’enars have developed a style of dual wielding for such a purpose, allowing them to fend off a ravenous foe, and unleash their own flurry of blows upon the creature. Though such a method of combat may be dealt with by a plated warrior’s retort, a R’enar’s sabers and scimitars were never meant to cross blades with another. The Crow and its significance According to R’ikarthi traditions the crow is an animal that carries luck and is a symbol of good change. The R’ikarth Clan is always changing and evolving as it goes forward with the generations. Its feathers are a symbol of luck and are gifted among the clan members as a sign of gratitude, trust and hope. Family and Unity The clan is known for having members that do not belong to to the founder’s bloodline. That reason is that the concept of family for the R’Ikarth clan is greatly different than most, while blood relation between family members may be highly respected it is not a means to outrank, distrust and exclude other members and leave them out of the family tree. A new family member will commonly be accepted into the family either through adoption, acceptance and acknowledgement from the clan members. So the thread that binds the member of the family surpasses the bindings of blood and creates a connection solely based upon the feeling of unity, acceptance and membership. Traditions The Crowfall Forged by the first head of the R’ikarths in a rite of initiation, the Crowfall was made in the image of his spiritual animal, and it embodies the clan founder’s wishes for prosperity, luck, and wisdom for his family. Rite of first blood A combined tradition with both R’enari and Maskarran influences. Owing to their extensive hunting tradition, it was a rite of passage in the clan of R’enar for young boys to track and hunt a stag all by themselves before they could be considered an adult. In both Old and New Esbec, which were monster hunting towns created with a great deal of Maskarran influences, it was required for a prospective Jaeger to prove their worth in combat against a dangerous beast or monster before they could be accepted into the fold. As an inheritor of these traditions, the R’ikarth family has a trial that incorporates both of their aspects. A prospective member of the family, or a boy who is ready to come of age, will be sent to track and hunt a dangerous beast or monster. They shall be followed by a member of the clan for safety precautions, but if all goes well, they shall carry out their task without help. Upon the completion of the rite, the remains of the slain creatures, usually being blood, will be sprinkled onto a hot ingot of slayersteel. The ingot will then be fashioned into a signet ring bearing the R’karth crest on top, and the name of its bearer at the bottom. The ring shall then be presented to its new owner, who may then use it to stamp the wax of their letters and documents. Clan Armor The clan armor is composed of light plated steel armor placed onto black steel chainmail, it lets the wearer keep great flexibility while having good protection upon vital parts and moderate protection into the gaps. The armor is decorated with golden details and a golden rope is wrapped onto the belt of the chest plate and holds a draping cloth that covers the leg gambeson in a skirt-like cut. Onto the belt there is a medium leather bag and two scabbard attachments at each side of the hips. The helmet resembles a Sutton Hoo helmet and its mask is unique for each member and personally forged by them, the helmet itself is secured by straps under the chin and is wrapped in a sash, making only the mask visible. The meaning of the mask The mask that every clan member carries proudly upon their helmet is a reflection of their soul, personality and mind forged onto the golden symbolic metal. It is forged by hand from the wearer after a vocation has been found as a rite of passage to symbolize one’s identity and personality, distinguishing oneself from others. The meaning of color GOLD Gold is the signature color of the clan, it symbolizes the bond between each member, membership to the family, unity and trust. Every member will wear something golden upon their clothing as in the clan’s beliefs it brings good luck and emphasizes the bond between them. RED Power, determination and passion, those are the traits of those that wear the color red and any of its shades and are affiliated with the role of leadership. Those that bring this color upon their clothing tend to be spontaneous, intuitive but reckless and violence may be the first option for them. Role: Leaders. GREEN The color of nature, force, security and health, those that bring green onto their clothes tend to be experts in medicine and herbalism and are experienced warriors that protect their kin. Those who have this color tend to be protective and do not trust outsiders easily. Role: Warriors, Medics, skilled Hunters. BLUE AND CYAN Control, wisdom, trust and stability, these are a handful of the traits of those that bring this color and its variants with pride. They are the ones that have great knowledge and teach their kin everything they know. They tend to be the voice of reason between the others. Role: Librarians, Archivers, Teachers. PURPLE AND PINK Creativity, Change, innovation and youth. Those that bring new things among their kin, they love to organize hunts, festivities and events of any kind. They are cheerful, active and inspiring individuals with a creative mind. Role: Event organizers, Recruiters. BLACK AND DARK GRAY black cloths will be used only on special occasions such as special operations and events as they hold a symbolic importance. WHITE AND GRAY Neutral colors, those who still have not found their vocation will wear such colors. Role: recruits, new members.
