You as always, put things into words better than the rest. Ooc toxicity… it’s honestly heart breaking, because you end up hurting other people, and for what? To win? It’s not like playing Call of Duty where at the end the one with the most kills win, you move into another lobby and that kid swearing is a million miles away and you’ll never speak to them again. This is a constant group of people, revolving but many of us constant and taking a lot of pride in our characters. Now the thing about character bleed is tough, because I care about my characters and I care about LOTC and other people, but it happens to the best of us. We put effort and time into our personas, and we don’t want them to take the brunt of something that will mess them up. However, making someone hurt or being rude or a slew of other hateful terms to someone, is just awful. It doesn’t make you a winner and it definitely doesn’t make you a good player. There have been many instances in which people have been toxic as to “win” something. War claims, raids and such, are all in good fun in moderation. On LOTC I have a bandit character, and I don’t go out of my way to ruins someone’s day in roleplay. I do if occasionally for the fun of being a “bad guy”, but not to hurt others and I don’t persistently go after the same person or group of people as to cause them problems. I also know on my other personas, that eventually it will happen to me. One of my personas recently was kidnapped. The kidnapper and I discussed stuff oocly, and we have become friends because of it and are making it into a bigger story for more people to be apart of. It’s a game at the end of the day, and it’s storytelling. Let’s be apart of something that even if we “win or lose” we are still proud of it. Thank you Quacken for writing this. Much appreciation.

Nadia Buckfort would read the letter, and at this, lost all words. She sat silently. Knowing however, William did in fact love her, made her feel like maybe… just maybe it would all be okay. She would miss him, hell she always had missed him, but now would be different. He might just be… at peace. Finally. Rebeka la Waevra sat arm in arm with Lomiei @Lomiei in the seven skies, fairly certain her TRULY CANONIST friend of hers would be seeing them shortly. How she missed William dearly, and couldn’t wait to discuss so much of his last moments. She loved William, in a way only a true friend could.

the map itself is difficult to find places to build on. It’s very hilly, and mountains are literally everywhere, so that makes it difficult. I also find that apparent in small wars and pvp battles. The builds on the server already are nice, and a lot of work and effort has been put into them. I feel like there have been events based on places individually like Ando Alur and what is happening there now as well as their sky city, ect. Yong Ping had their tsunami. I have been on this map for almost a full year, and my only frustration is that exploring, is very difficult off path. Horses make it easier, but if you are trying to roleplay with someone, there is not anything easy about traveling, or exploring. The same can be said for various nodes scattered among the map, hard to reach and find in many cases, almost impossible unless you have plenty of spare time to wander around. I wish there was a big event, across all of the map that could bring players together. I think war is great in some circumstances but in terms of actually activity in bringing people together. Something that impacted maybe a few areas, like a quake, which brings down some places. Another thing is old builds. There are a lot of old cities and places to explore, however majority of the map is not active. I was a new player on this map, and the first thing I had done, was travel to every place I could find. Sadly, the only ones at the time with real activity I saw, were Ando Alur, Haense and Norland, and Oren at that time. I feel like, there are truly only a few places that are accepting of new players, as well as continuously active, and I wish we could bring roleplay to other parts of the map, that maybe aren’t so active, less on a nation basis but more of a community as a whole. map 5/10

Leyna Kazimir sat silently upon hearing the news. She felt a great loss, at a wonderful Norlander, and a fantastic High Keeper. What many did not know, was that Leyna owed something great to the High Keeper, for that one day when Alisa Camian spoke to a woman for laying in the middle of the street. "May the Allfather guide us all."

Leyna Kazimir begins laughing, looking to Doc, “I was contained until the ears. Do your ears wiggle too?” @ggooose1

Nadia Buckfort signed the document with ease. She understood the need of a new SAFE place, and wished them all the best on their new adventure. "Be safe my friends."

Letters from Chieftain Leyna of Clan Kazimir Listy od wodza Leyna z klanu Kazimir Issued the Eleventh of the Deep Cold, 46 S.A. To my People, my Family, my Kin, I, Leyna Kazimir, write to you now, not only as a compatriot and kinsman but as a Chieftain and the sole-inheritor of my late-Mother’s great family name. As the firstborn and eldest of my late-mother, Rebeka la Waevra, and late-father, Lomiei Vinelli, it is not only my honor to take up the mantle but my duty. It is then my prerogative to take up a new Clan name, befitting our Clan Mother’s legacy, a legacy wrought not by wrathful ambition but peaceful growth and the establishment of a peaceful place for all who followed her. In the Rozanian language the name Kazimir refers to a bringer of peace and it is for this reason that I have chosen it. A symbol of not only our clan’s past but a symbol to guide us into the future. Many of you, my people, my family, and my kin, have been spread across the Realm of Nyrheim following the tragic death of our Clan Mother. It is to you and your families I wish to give a home, a greater family, and a name to be proud of. For those of you I have had the privilege of close comradery with, I am thankful for all the years we have had together; and to those I have yet to meet, be you distant cousins or lost bannermen, I anticipate with great pleasure our coming meeting. To Qiew la Waevra, @JudgedKitty To Malakai La Waevra, @Roria To Pip, To Doc, @ggooose1 To Mythzic, To Brawly, @Tk4522 To the House of Bishop, @Lomiei To the Redfist Chief, @Robin01_boy To Nadia Buckfort, To Alric Edvardsson, @Qaz_The_Great Allfather guide you, Leyna Kazimir, Chieftain of Clan Kazimir

Leyna Kazimir takes note of the date, remarking sadly, “A truly sad day for Norland, and a great loss.”

Arrival of Clan Kazimir Przybycie Klanu Kazimir Preamble Years ago, the La Waevra Clan was formed by Chieftess Rebeka la Waevra in the Kingdom of Norland. The clan was later dissolved about 15 years later, with the death of Rebeka la Waevra. While much of the family still remains, living predominantly in the Kingdom of Norland and Duchy of Rozania, they are no longer considered a clan. The changing of the names, and the changing of a leader, a new journey for all. A Long Past In 26 SA in the Kingdom of Norland, Rebeka la Waevra, a Norlandic native herself, had officially formed the la Waevra Clan. Consisting of her family and close friends, now bannermen, she embarked out of the Kingdom of Norland to the South to find riches as well as a safe place to settle and help rule. She first held her clan in Sutica, with a large house there that could house all the members. Many dinners were held there, and she made many connections to places near her, The Barony of Rhein and Sarissa. After some time, she began helping those in Sarissa to build a new settlement closer to the North, and near good friends of hers in Yong Ping. Whilst she assisted in building a small Duchy with the Duke William Buckfort, she had laid the foundation of a strong and long-lasting dynasty. Trouble would however find her with the Sedanian and Savoyard’s banditry and the subsequent forced conversions of herself and her kinsmen in the Duchy of Rozania. With the Rozanians crippled, morally and physically, the treacherous Canonists continued their banditry and slaughter. Eventually, with that, the sadness of her daughter Sionnach's engagement to an undead, and the death of her first husband Lomiei, Rebeka was led to take her own life. This impacted the Clan significantly leaving all members shocked, and distraught, and within her final will she requested Clan la Waevra be dissolved. This also dissolved all partnerships, alliances and official documentation between many close groups of the clan, from all over. Leaving her Norland shop to her daughter Leyna. Leyna moved to Norland, and moved much of the remaining members of the clan to a home there. After much debate, Leyna decided that it would truly be best for them to stay a clan, and attempted to relight the candle which her mother blew out. A New Beginning Leyna, the eldest of the La Waevra’s is taking the torch inevitably passed to her. Continuing her legacy, and helping those who feel lost with the death of her mother. She would like to continue on, leading as her mother did. Better perhaps, and having a truly strong, united, peaceful family. From this day forward, the woman who is to continue this path will now be known by the name Leyna Kazimir. This new name, Kazimir, means peace-bringer in Rozanian language. This is due to the kindness, and objectivity that makes them good writers, diplomats and knowledge seekers. They still have a fighting will, and strength paired with their mediation skills which make them ideal leaders. Shall those in the Kazimir Clan persevere and remain strong, in this time of change. All of the La Waevra’s shall now use the name Kazimir, as a show of strength for the changed Clan. Clan Kazimir of The Kingdom of Norland. A strong group with hearts of warriors, brains of scholars, personality and relations of diplomats, and the soul of readers and writers. Where Rebeka first started, Leyna shall now continue, a full circle.

I like this more in-depth and explained lore a lot. A solid update that was needed. +1

Rebeka la Waevra cackles loudly at Lomiei’s words, sitting next to him, and mentally wishes Brawly a safe trip.

i likey +1

Leyna la Waevra read the missive with a grin, "Doc has some damn good ideas, I am glad to be apart of this with him."

Rebeka la Waevra rolls in her grave.

Looking for Players Looking for players for the Scáth family, currently living in the Duchy of Rozania. The mother is a goblin, Ezra Scáth. Originally from Krugmar, and had moved to Sutica. The separation of Sutica and many in Sarissa left her and her husband Brawly to go with the Sarissans to a new settlement, now known as The Duchy of Rozania. The father is a human, Brawly Scáth. Living in Sutica and Sarissa his whole life, he is a trained medic. He is a part of the KAR (military) and the Master of Medicine in Rozania. There are also other siblings within the family, Paige Rynn-Scáth, sister of Zahira and Soren, who has left her adopted family, to find her real parents. She comes around occasionally to check in on her younger siblings. Yerro Scáth, brother of Zahira and Soren, who is still living with the family. Players needed: Zahira Scáth (daughter) A female human-goblin hybrid. She has blonde hair and heterochromatic eyes. Zahira is a mild-mannered child who loves both of her parents. At this time, she has not developed much as a character, but will gain more character traits as she is RP’d more. A blank slate of a character, as of now. She has a family that speaks Blah, but she herself does not need any knowledge of that yet. Soren Scáth (son) A male full goblin adopted by the Scáth family. This goblin kub is brand new to the Scáth family so his RP is currently open to interpretation. He was found abandoned in Krugmar with no hints to his prior family besides a generic note written in blah that stated that the previous caregiver was no longer able to care for him. He has knowledge of Blah, and uses that as his main language. If you are interested in playing either of these characters, contact on discord. Discord: Dope Bob weed pants#8972 animallover23#0171 Both persona’s are under 14, and subject to interpretation. Skins are able to be edited lightly, if you want with permission from the parents. We ask you to be active, about one to two times a week. Timeszones are PST/CST Fun Group to RP with, and really great ooc vibes, we are a irp and ooc fam, so only real serious players please. Thank you!

Adelina Bishop read the invitation and shouted in excitement, “She’s getting MARRIED! WOOHOOOOOO!” She grins, “Ich am so proud of Clara!”

Adelina Bishop sits around the fire, reading to her children as she notices the missive on the table, she leans over, picking it up and nodding slowly, "Ja, zhis ist gutte for zhe Bishop name, Erwin has done vell in zhis."

Paige Rynn-Scáth would hear of her brothers passing, not really understanding what death was because she was only ten, learn that she would never see her brother Keetzo again, and would make it her new mission to never leave her siblings side ever again.

Adelina Bishop was proud to have her husband so involved in politics. She watched as Helena ran around, the twins each in their bassinet and prayed to GOD that Erwin would succeed in this.

Rebeka la Waevra reads this, a grin upon her face, "It is finally public, may we be left in peace by all, and may God watch over us."

Rebeka la Waevra nods reading the missive, remarking "I see, quite good for Watcher. A good leader taking charge."
