Walter paused, and wrote, "To deny the whereabouts of owns own kin is not the responsibility of a Godunov, or a Colborn. If you so brazenly seem fit to throw your rocks and hide your hand, then by GOD may he damn the House of Godunov. You are but a boy, who thinks they can dictate how a family rules its own. You are no noble. You are scum, lower than even the darkspawn that siege us so. Take up the blade if you will. You will lose." Signed, Walter Leon Weiss, Viscount of Novkursain.

Walter Weiss looked over the missive, and he chuckled. He began to pen the missive, which would be placed anywhere public - basilicas, market stalls, what have you. "To the Baron of Sevilla, Iduna is a curse amongst the family of Colborn. She knowingly, and willingly by her own admission and others hid her own family from the Weiss. Despite knowing that she was alive, she hid Raelle from us. From her own mother, who feared she was dead. Iduna denied Raelle's family any grief. Any closure. A most grevious sin, and deplorable action. Raelle has since turned to a daemonic and heretical faith of Druidism, of which she happily obliged. Hence, I was the one who asked that she be disowned." The missive continued. "Should you fight anyone, you shall fight me, should my father be unwilling to entertain your ill-informed rant. Name the time and place. You should know, I only duel to the death."

Felix Weiss ran forwards as he heard the cry of his daughter, for he had been waiting so long for her arrival. He scooped her up and twirled her around, and he laughed with the joy of family re-united, for even in death he would always be there for her. Finally, they could explore this fabled paradise together as they had planned so long ago.

WE DONT XP WASTE IN THIS *****.

i was watching the rick and morty show :3

A LION CUT FROM THE PRIDE “VA VE MAAN.” Issued by THE VISCOUNTY OF NOVKURSAIN On this 15th day of Vzmey ag Hyff of 499 E.S. HERE BE THE WORDS OF VISCOUNT WALTER WEISS, The Vikomital House of Weiss prides itself on tradition, duty, and familial bonds between members of our soldierly house. Such pride is one of the reasons we took the lion as our sigil. Like those beasts upon our sigil, we too believe deeply in loyalty to one’s family, for it is the very bedrock of who we are. It was my father, Ser Audo Weiss, who penned the Maxims of Pride: a simple codex that guides our family in all things, be that honor, duty, or humility before God. The First Maxim is thus: I. Unshakeable loyalty to the king, the family, and GOD shall be the foremost guides to all. We have found that Haus Weiss-Vuiller has fallen far short of that Maxim. A loyal servant to the king and good Canonist he surely is. However, he has been absent in the lives of his own children and his obligation to be at his wife’s side for quite some time. Exceptions can of course be made in many of our Maxims, but the First Maxim is one that can not be excused or forgiven should one find themselves in violation, for it is the very foundational pillar of not only our peerage, but our duties as citizens of Haense. It is with our greatest displeasure that I must impose the following: Haus Weiss-Vuiller shall henceforth be stripped of his Weiss name, and shall also be severed from the line of inheritance entirely. He may walk these lands as a Vuiller, or a Schwarz, so long as he does not claim the name of our house. His wife and children are loyal servants to the kingdom and proud members of our family and therefore shall remain most welcome by our hearth as Weiss-Vuiller and Weiss respectively. Krusae zwy Kongzem. IV JOVEO MAAN, The Honorable, Lord Walter León Weiss, Viscount of Novkursain, Baron of Zvaervauld, Lord of Staalgrav, Deputy Palatine, and Marian of the King’s Own Retinue. His Excellency, Ser Audo Weiss, Jovenaar of the Crown, Armiger of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, and Knight Paramount of the Order of the Crow Lord, Viktor Maximilian Weiss, Armsman of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl

"Duels are niet to be used as a shield for insubordination, surely." Walter Weiss mused as he read over the missive. "Ag since when is owning a construct considered slavery?!" He bawked. "They don't even have souls!"

Walter Weiss was delivered the missive during a carriage ride back to the gateway of the Highlands, the Viscounty of Novkursain. Ofcourse, a proud smile graced his countenance for his wife, and his family. Never before had their young house simultaneously held two positions upon the crown's Aulic Council. But then, his smile faded as he remembered Fabian. Of the aftermath of the fall of Almaris, when he was only a child of nine. When Marian came to rescue him from the caves of Failor and take him to the ranch that Fabian and company had built. There, he was not treated as a lord, but as a boy. He was taught to bake, dance, and labor by the Kortrevich. And Walter fondly remembered of how terrible of a student he was, yet Fabian was ever-patient. Those memories were bitter-sweet, a reminder of the cold-hearted killer Walter had become. He glanced out the window, into the blizzard as his carriage tumbled along the path to Novkursain and he considered for a moment if it would have been better if they could have remained on that pleasant ranch, hidden away from it all. All of this served as an ever-present reminder that time was marching ever-onward, and Walter despite all his strength was powerless in the face of it. Perhaps, he would visit Fabian in his retirement. He now more than ever needed guidance.

Walter Weiss was sat in his deputy palatine's office. He diligently worked to send missives and requisition forms to the appropriate arborists, whilst also placing an order for a new shipment of ferric axes. He looked out of the boarded window of the palace to gaze into the storm that continuously besieged the royal city. He lifted his current stack of papers to a thick journal that bore the symbol of his house. He opened it, and continued to make plans for the city as the flames of the hearth flickered beside him.

shit lore but werew0lf has kidnapped my dog and won't return him until I help him break his denial streak. +1

To His Holiness Sixtus V, I write to you to confirm the words of Mother Milena Franziska. Whilst these claims may seem at a glance the fanciful tall tales of a panic-stricken populace of a city under siege by a terrible storm - they are nevertheless true, may GOD bless us. I personally witnessed each of these incidents, save account IV. With only a touch and beckoning of the Lord God, my brother performed the miracles so described. I am willing to personally testify to the true nature of the claims made should inquiries be made as to their validity. As Sworn Before God and Before Peer, Lord Walter Leon Weiss, Viscount of Novkursain, Baron of Zvaervauld and Lord of Staalgrav

It just depends on where you go. In placed like Haense, Vortice or even like Numendil I feel like I can reliably pull up to any group and atleast get a "Hello". I tried that in Celianor for example and promptly got told to get bent. If people are ignoring you, stop trying to give them roleplay. Hell come down around Haense or Numendil and I'll make sure you get rp. Goes for anyone in this thread looking to make a story together. Doors always open on my end.

Lord, now Viscount Walter Weiss should have felt happy. Stanislaw had been returned and he had claimed his position, and yet his eyes gazed to the empty silence of his hall as the servantry scrubbed the blood from their floors. An itch for a far grander battle still raged in his heart. He had a great many things that needed doing. But the thing he wished for most, was to make the necromancer that dared harm his brother pay. He penned a bird to an old friend. He had hoped that perhaps now, the hunt would be on in earnest. One head at a time . . .

1. Yeah, probably. LotC is loads of fun and I enjoy spending my free time with my friends here. 2. On Felix, definitely when he beat his son in an alleyway. On Walter, his journey to master the Mortal Blade of Jophael. 3. It's not really any one person in particular but anyone that spends time in or with the Weiss group. You're all ******* awesome. 4. It was good overall, I enjoyed the work I did. New moderators may struggle though, it's not very welcoming on the upper leadership side or easy to access if you don't already know people at the top. 5. Great question. My advice would be to just have fun with the roleplay you want to do unapologetically and stick with people that add to your experience rather than subtracting from it.

Honestly I really don't know! It just sounds cool. Unironically I planned to kill Felix Weiss off in my first week and make a "real character" when I was less nooby. Had no idea where I'd end up and I didnt really have a plan haha. 1. Best rp experience is the inferi war, best experience with you is anything that dealt with the owl. I genuinely think hes the best character on the server. 2. Felix will always have a soft spot in my heart as an up and coming illiterate peasant that died a Viscount, but Walter is infinitely more complex as a character, probably because I've had way more time to develop him from five years old to now. 3. Any event that deals with fighting. The Inferi War and Mori events were loads of fun individually even if the Mori stuff got a little rushed in my opinion. 4. It's between you and @Frostdrop1 1. Whatever @Werew0lf is selling these days is whats in my bag.

1. Still waiting on my unemployment check from itdontmatta. 2. I wouldn't say I have an overall favorite, but rather a favorite in every 'genre' of roleplay. If you put a gun to my head and made me pick, it would definitely be the entire Inferi War in Haense. I had loads of great moments of my character being a military commander and slaying demons. It was like a Warhammer: 40,000 campaign. Loads of fun. 1. Thanks, @WesWesWesWesWes made it! It's officially called "Squidbird". 2. It's not one single song in particular but the entire Witcher: III (and Wildhunt) OST.

I'm doing the meme. Been a Haenser for the overwhelming majority of it. Figured I'd make an AMA for the hell of it.

"Good heavens!" Walter Weiss exclaimed. "Could he be the one to finally bring civilization to the elves?!"

Walter Weiss had just returned home from the meeting where which said missive was written, though he did not rest. He looked to the Blade of Jophael which hung on his hip, and up to the blue banners that lined the walls of his home. He uttered a phrase not to himself, but hoped that GODAN would carry the message to Stanislaw: “Hold fast, brother. We’re going to get you out of there. GOD help anyone that stands in our path. Va ve Maan.”

When people approach me asking, "Is it acceptable to play a racist character", I always tell them "Yes, but be mindful that poor quality roleplay will earn you no friends no matter what your character's flaw is." The universally best way to approach this if you choose this path is to use insults from other videogames and media. Someone brought "greyskins" up from Skyrim. Great example. To new players who might read this, take the following advice: To use dwarves and a common insult used against them as an example: Midget. This- unsurprisingly and understandably, will cause people to become upset because of the real life connotations with that word. Instead, you can get not only creative but funny with it without hurting someones feelings. For example, say your character's in a bar and you're getting rowdy and someone starts a topic about dwarves since we're already using them. If your character really hates dwarves, you can go: "Those damned lumberfooted, rockheaded, copper-polishing, cave-hopping dirt faeries really get under my skin!" and no one in their right mind would get offended at that. Try to keep your roleplay friendly. Look to every situation and ask how you can best add, and not subtract to the experience and you'll be fine.

this is huge for my fishing guild comrades and lotc at large. well done!

I like pvp because it lets me and my mates get some epic clicks in and have a laugh on the one hand, but yet I do not like pvp sometimes because there's hardly any humor in it and people treat it like everything is on the line when it happens. Often since my arrival to LoTC have I seen groups take to OOC after a loss and claim "they had nothing to do with that", throwing their allies under the bus, screaming at some poor noob that just wanted to have fun, or bickering and screaming overtop of eachother. It just gives me a headache to sit and listen to a VC like that when I'm just trying to have a good time. It's a total slog and creates a toxic environment that is roleplay in name only. Which is mostly why I've stepped away slightly from improving my pvp skills. I find more joy in little bandit encounters and small interactions with players on the regular rather than be belittled by teenagers in a VC that pin their reputation on their ability to click on a model in a children's game. I think overall PvP is a tool, not a solution in and of itself. It works when people want it to. If the people who want PvP strived to make it more fun for the people participating in it, perhaps then more people wouldnt be scared off by it. Tl;dr, I'm a roleplayer at heart, not a PvPer but PvP can be fun if you're doing it with your friends and people who can have fun with it.

Nope, not weird at all, but do remember that weirdness and poor roleplay go hand in hand. No one will give a shit if you play a man or a woman, but they will think it's weird if you make that their sole character trait and that becomes all they have to offer. You'll be fine. Enjoy your roleplay. :)
