Naturally, a Caurostian read the letter and shrugged dismissively before moving on with his day. 'Poor Dwarves,' he thought. 'Truly, this must be a Cerulean or a Valer, to pen such obvious falsehoods.' Nonetheless, the effort to mobilize would be taken, and those who sided with the Darkspawn and their ilk would be slain. Of this, Rhys had no doubt. Good dwarves such as Narvi and the others would no doubt survive the fighting.

"YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE," screeched Inquisitor Gaius at a picture of the Dwarven King mounted in his office. "YOU WERE SUPOSSED TO SLAY THE MALEFICARUM, NOT JOIN THEM!" The wails of the mad High Inquisitor echoed throughout the halls late at night, rousing the ten or so cats who lounged there, who scattered in a frenzy, joining their master's loud and unbecoming screeching with agonized sounds of their own.

"Women are as violent as men and make phenomenal Inquisitors like Aysenur," said High Inquisitor Gaius.

“I knew it!” Said inquisitor gaius as he plotted to bring this person to justice for the emperor Hadrian

Inquisitor gaius snorts and then burns an effigy of a druid ”that will show them,” he seethes

Inquisitor Gaius folded his hands at his desk and then read over his list of actionable reports. Soon, the Silver Lubba himself would be assisted by his age-old allies. He wrapped an old teal bandana around his mailed fist and then smiled to himself in the privacy of his office.

Some four-hundred years ago, an Elven-king stood atop the crest of a hill beside his allies, elves of wan pallor and silver gleaming armor. The Immortals, the finest warriors which Elvendom had to offer. "Look there Kaz," said Kairn Calithil. "That host is not meek. Whitepeak ought not to break easily." Alas, at this point in time, the siege engineers had blown the place open. Despite the fierce odds, the Courlandic Host did not surrender, and it was a bloodbath. The Elven-king was wrong - their walls and butresses broke quickly. However, the spirit of the enemy host did not, and they fought to a man.

Awesome!

"It survived because a Lord and ordinary women defended it, and then they were betrayed by the women in charge. History paints a clear picture: men are treacherous fools who covet power, and women shall eat one another before giving up theirs." Both Max Horen and Hadrian Horen looked around, saw that it was a pageboy who said this, and then the boy was flogged.

N...No...

The High Inquisitor is picking up a weapon be commissioned from the Baron of Mynge's personal armorer. With fresh slayersteel sheathed in the scabbard on his saddle, he contemplated whether the Myngelord, a High Inquisitor in his own right, would break his tally for most Maleficar killed by an active duty serviceman.

Terrible usernames. We should vote for all of you to get real usernames.

trust me you guys don't want me

I was there as the Marshal 1 year ago exactly and got bored and left. The player base at that point of time consisted more of Azdrazi than actual High Elves. Obviously, things might have changed, but when we went there recently, they were still up to the same shenanigans. Trying to kill a Caurost Ilumrin persona for being an impure High Elf, leaving signs in the city saying "Wash yourself after entering the Dark Elf district", things of that nature. It was more or less a High Elven ethnostate where other Elves were second class citizens. From the perspective of world building, that is fine, it is not unethical to play a character who aligns with these negative values. Also, something being legal does not make it explicitly culturally okay, I don't even care really that the group has role-played these things (racism, persecution, etc). I just think the claim of genocide is preposterous. It's very clearly outlined in my other posts if you're curious. Cool, you guys legalized homosexuality around the same time server rules were changed to mandate it could not be persecuted, or slightly before then. That's fine, it still doesn't explain harboring a satanic organization that traffics people's souls, kills people, and traps them in shards of prismarine for shits and giggles. The intent of these things being said wasn't to disparage Haelun'or out-of-characterly, but more so to explain the complexity involving why Haelun'or had very poor relationships with other countries, and other groups in the elven diaspora at the time. You're right it's High Elven supremacy, but it's such a small nitpick that it doesn't really matter. "Nowhere near as segregated or bigoted" simply serves to minimize that the state itself was both segregated and bigoted to some extent still. Which is fine, that's role-play, I don't really care. But it doesn't exonerate them of the multitude of crimes which resulted in the persecution of the High Elves in the first place. Historically, the High Elves have been malicious to other Elves, and at points also malicious to Humanity, who at one point were among their closest allies until they slaughtered Andrik Vydra. In the modern day, they replaced harboring Shades with harboring Mystics, and it resulted more or less in the disintegration of their polity altogether.

I rest my case. Also, the comparison to denazification is not totally analogous, the point is though that Haelun'or was segregated, deeply bigoted, etc. It's not a literal 1-to-1 comparison dw.

peace and love number 1 imperial inquisitor out of here

If that doc was the report no wonder nobody took it seriously, didn't even follow the report format. Glad you finally read the pages, Lexi did you a solid there. I'm glad though that we've reached an agreement that you mislabeled it.

1. The easy solution was given to you to begin with. Either way, you used the wrong name for the thing, and you're still deliberately avoiding the context of what the badges mean to begin with. Which again is plainly spelled out in front of you if you look as well at the links Lexi left you. 3. It's because people aren't reporting them. I guarantee, you report them, and it's dealt with. If it's not, the person probably didn't break rules.

1. All this over a discontinued military service badge that multiple countries have been using in other contexts for a long time, smh. Britain, Australia, the Philippines, the U.S., India, Portugal, etc. Some fire departments use it. That doesn't make them all have the same meaning. 2. The unique emphasis on the Empire as a single body rather than 5 (or more) different player bases is pretty important. 3. That's why you report it and there's a system for dealing with it. People who do that stuff get blacklisted.

1. Rhodesian Cross doesn't exist. Telling people to stop saying "Rhodesian" has never been in question, it's the fact the cross itself literally does not exist as a Rhodesian Cross. As I said multiple times, staff could help with that. 2. Some people in every nation are bad guys. Every country kills kids. Every country has a few racists. Imperial foreign policy is not bent on this, however. That is evident through the fact that protectorates have their own cultures, laws, and there's only a few imperial laws which are preserved in them. Nation-states all go "good" or "evil" things. The Empire itself does not have anymore of a fascistic slant than Haense did. The difference is that one is a neocolonial power that exercised soft power through backroom deals and threats, and the Empire is a literal Empire. There's not even really any one-sided material extraction given the nature of Minecraft's mechanics. Everybody is just sharing their mines and sharing military support, like an over-glorified big alliance. 3. People who do villainous things are. My character is a villain and I just do Henry Kissinger RP, but the average guard, citizen, or random duke/knight is not really doing that. There's a myriad of different characters and many of the people in imperial leadership have varying political/social alignments. 4. No. That's just frankly ridiculous. As a former Rex of the Orcs, if I launch a war as the Rex of the Orcs and kill somebody's friends, and they want to sack me in response, they have that right. Infringing on player sandbox/freedoms is how you create an atmosphere that solely consists of SOL/Romance content. LoTC has had these kinds of war mechanics for 12 years and ought not to change that. We can fundamentally disagree on that, I don't mind.

I told you to go to staff or the actual player to get them to rename their Maltese Cross. You're poorly informed, you don't know the symbolism of the Maltese Cross. I'm informing you now. You're twisting yourself into pretzels to justify not reading any concrete information about anything. Is your genuine opinion "Well, I'm going to double down on my ridiculous opinions, and everybody else must be wrong anyways because I'm unilaterally perfect, so just suck it up." You're legit bending head over heels over nothing. The difference is I'm going to laugh and keep on role-playing, and you're going to be lamenting that one time a Halfling mislabeled a harmless cross design while painting it on somebody's hand with his tiny fingers. You're not a sage or an intellectual, you're sitting here calling people fascists over their Minecraft faction having a Warhammer cross on the armor. You're single handedly winning every Westboro Baptist the culture war with how dog water your opinions are. Yes, the racially homogenous Empire, where a Halfling is the High Priest, and countless elves live in harmony. Yes, Caligula, I don't know man, Caligula doesn't seem PG13!
