Philip Laurent helped carry the Prince's body to Merryweather, seeking solace from the chaos he climbed the mountain looking out over the landscape ahead of him. "And now a dilemma."

Will the old commands still work? Or will those commands be depreciated?

I've been trying to do Merchant RP for the past three days to sell my wares. To be honest I find that for every person willing or interesting in looking at my wares I get three people who I'm just interrupting their roleplay. And that kind of sucks.

Ill give you food buddy. Dont leave Us :(

Philip Laurent Halcourt sighed as he heard the news of the court. The words flowing off the paper as he bowed his head. "She did Petra a great service, and I am glad to call her my friend. I hope her retirement is a successful as her reign."

Philip Laurent the squire read over the news with a heavy heart. He had only met Louis on occasion but from every encounter, he deemed the man GOOD. "Blood... Will be spilt over this." He commented to his historian friend Adelheid. @cherrybud "Let us hope this section of the history books is short."

Philip Laurent sat quietly in his home mulling over the advice given to him. Sir Hannibal had been one of the finest, and he was for as far as Philip was concerned....a man in every sense that compliment paid. Regardless of what was killed within that throneroom of Veletz.

Philip Laurent shed a tear as he read of good Cunimunds death. "I had wronged the man and he forgave me, now my friend is lost..."

Philip Laurent Halcourt grabbed his crossbow off the wall slipping a bolt into it as he shook his head. "Shame....Damn shame."

Philip Laurent a squire himself sent Tylos Basrid a copy of his book. So that he could hopefully find a Knight easier.

Philip Laurent frowned deeply as he heard the news remembering his few but memorable encounters with the Knight. "He was a good man, one deserving of a better end..."

Philip Laurent of House Halcourt penned a letter in return to his dear friend Amelya. Dear Amelya, It is tragic to hear that you were subject to such searches and seizures by those "O-People" It is not very good at all and when all is said and done they took the picture that I had given you a while ago. That is mean of them. I will do my best to try and get it back for you my friend. Or I will create a new one. You should have said something when we stormed into the room and we could have made him give it back. But oh well. Yours sincerely, Philip Laurent Halcourt @bickando

Philip Laurent claps for the new Knights and prepares to add them to the list!

Philip Laurent Halcourt munched on a piece of cake as he read the missive. "Oh boy, this is gonna get good."

Philip Laurent looked at the missive in his room gulping. "I hope Laurens does not hate me..."

Philip Laurent flashes that winning politician smile.

– ON THE DEFEAT OF THE UNDEAD– [!] A paper report would be deposited on the desk of Sir Gaspard within his library, quickly several copies of the squire's report would begin to make their way across the realms of man. The Undead also known as darkspawn or agents of Iblees continue to prove a plague on the existence of the universal peace of man. Far too often in recent years have villages been razed in the night, entire families and farms snuffed out of existence before the alert can even be raised. For every defeat we deal the darkspawn they take two fold victories where we simply do not even know they occurred. The best way to defeat the darkspawn can be summarized into three categories; Intelligence, knowledge, and preparation. Intelligence is the manner in which we identify darkspawn attacks, where they might strike next and in what numbers, more often than not the darkspawn attacks on human settlements come as a surprise, these surprises must be limited if we are to gain the upper hand. Constant patrols of the countryside, effective watchtowers and signal warning systems should be instituted across the lands of Humanity to more properly collaborate and establish a first line of defense against darkspawn before they ever even strike. Knowledge is one that holds importance to the common folk. While military and knightly orders have a vast amount of information on the threat of darkspawn, their tactics and behaviour, that same information rarely gets passed on to the common man. Information is kept between individuals and groups when it should be freely spread. It should be practice for any group who does battle with the darkspawn to publicize the engagement, the location and circumstances behind it so all are aware of the current state of this war, for we are at war. Preparation is the final category which can be counted towards the defeat of the undead. When dueling a man in single combat a certain degree of honour is expected and courtesy extended. When fighting the undead the cause of chivalry must not be applied. To fight the undead fairly is to give them an advantage. To remove this sense of fairness all must be prepared to do battle, all adults of fighting capability should arm themselves during these trying times and take those arms up in the defense of their lands, any undead attacks should be met with an overwhelming swarm of human ambition aiming for their destruction; cannons, trebuchets, ballistae and potions must be used enmasse to end the fight in short order. For the darkspawn, its average fight must involve its imminent destruction through overwhelming means. I have come to these conclusions through three sources, my own experiences observing and combating the darkspawn, questions asked of various Knights and soldiers of the realms, and historical tomes dating back to the War on the Undead. The implementation of these three strategies do not guarantee victory. But they guarantee us better odds. The Honourable Philip Laurent Halcourt d’Artois, Squire to Sir Gaspard
