  1. Lucius nodded his head as he responded to his wife. "I did, as of the night before. I was sent to mediate the matter as Hordespeaker. I attempted to convince them to allow Iohannis upon the council that would be formed, and originally Esfir was guaranteed a position too- Until she threatened to have them all executed." He muttered, shaking his head as he uncapped his canteen to take a small sip. An unnecessary gesture but one he did anyway to feel more grounded in the situation. "In the history of nothing ever happens, it felt like something happened." @comatoseprincess
  2. A high elf, Ark, forwards the mail that arrived telepathically to her, to Hadrian, just encase he missed it.
  3. Made that enchantment. Put it on the floor irp. They stepped on it after it was emoted being put down on the floor. It's like willingly stepping on a beartrap. They even pm'd saying, yeah didn't think it would do anything so the char just stepped on it. Willingly. Idk what you want from me. But I'll start using beartraps instead if it makes you feel better. This wasn't bad faith. This is just trying to do something other than mindless sword swinging rp, and being creative. I didn't force them to step on the trap and even said oocly they can re-emote not stepping on it in the first place. They said, I'll give you an ultimatum and you can take it back or I'll play my Wight in an OP way that bends the lore because it is so poorly written, then they simply emoted it not affecting them anyway. Now two of that persons chars are targeting mine to death, along with their families, separately in addition to this amendment.
  4. I'll be honest. I believe this is already the case. Similarly you can't use natural armour to bypass the weight restrictions of Mages. If you have heavy armour style natural armour, then you already have to abide by the movement rules. And I don't think the Natural armour and actual armour can stack allowing you to wear essentially two sets of armour.

CURRENTLY ON AUCTION Starsteel Meteor (Lunarite): (Starting Bid: 400) [5th Dec] A rare meteorite comprised of beautiful metal sought out across the world for bonds of matrimony, weapons and more. This metal when enchanted will NOT inflict arcane weakness upon its user, allowing any capable descendant the ability to cast a spell without harm. The Silverheart Adventurer's Guild will enchant this item for you, for an additional 100 Minas, or for free for Aurum Adventurers and higher. Arcane Trap of Slowing: (Starting Bid: 10) [5th Dec] THIS ITEM IS DISCONTINUED. Due to technical difficulties, this item will no longer be sold. The Auction House apologizes for this inconvenience, but we cannot sell a defective product to our customers. Bag of Holding: (Starting Bid: 10) [5th Dec] The staple of any good adventurer's story, but often only in the hands of the wealthier party. This bag allows one to store tonnes of rock, metal or whatever you want. And dump it out on unsuspecting targets… or just lightening the load. Hide weapons, resources and more inside. The Magical Medical Bundle: (Starting bid: 20) [5th Dec] Cutting edge arcane medical technology. This doesn't guarantee to save a life, but in the right hands it might just be what is needed to preserve one. Conjure temporary flesh to stop someone bleeding out whilst a healer can be called? Create an artery bypass during complex surgery? Conjure an entire organ? The user must maintain line of sight, but a creative physician will be unmatched, and the additional tools on the gauntlet provide a variety of options. Whilst the item also keeps the emotions of the wearer calm. Of course, that is not to outdo the cauterizing ring that will allow anyone to instantly seal wounds on even themselves for an hour! 20x Written Non-Fiction Books: (Starting Bid: 10) [5th Dec] Twenty books collected over the ages. Written by various authors no book will be the same. A perfect addition for a library or private collection. For an additional 150 Minas the genre can be chosen. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Ⅱ. ADVENTURER GUILD THE SILVERHEART ADVENTURER'S GUILD SEEKS TO PROTECT DESCENDENTS FROM THE FORCES OF EVIL AND AID THOSE IN NEED.

The carriage trundled along, joined by brave men and women of the Horde lands and the allied human vassals of Ipanema and Lotharia. Transporting a sizable amount of gold and escorting the mining staff from the Horde occupied mines within the Mesa territory. A team composed of knights, shaman and adventurers each with a storied past, save the youngest of them, hired by the Silverheart on behalf of the De Sylva Barony. Aurellius, Ellira, Ukukaal, Zubayr, Maddock, Kroku, Kaal-Luk, Brvtokles And not without reason, for bandits had been assailing the roads with the unstable economy of the continent that had everyone at each other's throats for minas. The convoy found itself waylayed by one such rogue group, a hillside ambush of archers and crossbows that had the group dead to rights. However… their diversified skill sets quickly turned the tables. Ukukaals quick thinking called forth the ire of the spirits, clouding the archers vision before she unleashed an unrelenting fury that had two flanking bandits regretting their professions for only a moment before their demise. Whilst Brvtokles speared the leader of the group with a javelin, before chasing a target into the undergrowth. Zubayr and Maddock met four archers head on, entering the fog to do battle with them on perilous cliffs. The former tanking hits and tossing a blade at the back of another bandit about to do away with Aurellius who found himself fight tooth and nail on the road. Grappling with an injured bandit whilst Zubayr's target sought to finish him with a mace. Maddock leapt from the cliffside, sacrificing his legs to take the bandit the rest of the way down, saving Aurellius from a narrow fate as he protected his granddaughter with unrelenting determination. Things were looking bad. Each of the adventurers had multiple bandits on them at once, and in some places the line looked fit to break. It was at this point a wandering patrol of Uruk, Kaal-Luk and Kroku burst free from the treeline to engage. Turning the course of battle with totality. The entire party successfully returned to Lotharia, the convoy being transported towards the merchant's ship for delivery to Kurai-Kuni for a diplomatic measure to secure a future relationship. The Silverheart adventurer's guild, rewards each individual named above a Ferrum Key towards accessing the southern branch Artifact vault. Five Daemonsteel keys allow access to the vault to choose an artifact of their choice. In addition for professional attitude and skill, Ser Zubayr was granted a Bag of Holding, dimensional storage artifact. DEMONS ROAM, henchmen and cronies of a maligned coagulated group reside within the Black Church, a place upon the island far to the south east of the continent. Their evil goons have been raiding nearby settlements and causing mayhem! ▂▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▂ ☾▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬☽⊰ ㊣ ⊱☾▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬☽ HIS LORDSHIP, LUCIUS de Sylva, ░ Guildmaster of Silverheart, ░

Despite its origins and placement it sees fit to establish ties and roots across the continent of Azuras, to form strong bonds with up and coming noble families across the entire continent. The mantle of Silverhearts focus is the healing of others, the progression of magical technology and charity born through strategic mercantile business. THE SILVERHEART KNIGHTS AND SCRIBES ARE HEALERS AND DEFENDERS, as opposed to a typical order that fights first and treats wounds second. When arriving at a tragedy their first point of call is to put themselves between the wounded and the enemy, and to treat the wounded until they are stabilized. To preserve life is their calling. Once this is done, or there are not yet wounded to care for, they shall fight valiantly. Sating bloodlust, hunting for glory, acquiring endless loot and growing ever more powerful for the sake of power is to be rejected; with the Silverheart mission statement being to protect and stabilize the lives of others through defense and medicine first and foremost. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Ⅰ. RECRUITING APPRENTICES AND SQUIRES, ARE TO BE RECRUITED AND TRAINED AS RETAINERS OF THE SILVERHEART LORDSHIP, these individuals shall be a step towards the protection of the realm of man, its people and all within the veil, in the home and fervent wish that no such cataclysm might displace us from the newfound lands as did Aevos. KNIGHTS OF THE SILVERHEART, swordsmen with mana woven into their blades or being, and pure fighters of steel and dexterity. Valiant individuals who embody honour and dignity, rather than falling to the temptations of power. To protect and fight on behalf of others, on behalf of their families, and on behalf of the people of Azuras. (Squires wanted; no prior experience required) SCRIBES OF THE SILVERHEART, practitioners of the unknown, masters of mana, are needed for the protection of the realm. Versatile in combat, or constantly chasing the curiosities of the world through research and experimentation. Research and development by the Scribes of Silverheart is imperative for the betterment of mankind. (Apprentices wanted; no prior experience required) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Ⅱ. RESPONSIBILITIES THE FOLLOWING RESPONSIBILITIES ARE WHAT THE APPLICANT CAN EXPECT TO DO ON A DAILY OR FREQUENT BASIS. The responsibilities of retainers will be first and foremost to protect the populace within reach. To guard those without the means to do so for themselves, upholding the law within the Horde's western territories and wilderness. To guard the property and assets of the mantle of Silverheart, particularly in the transport of rare metals and merchant caravans in the expansion of business. To train themselves and their brothers in arms, such that they are ready when cataclysm strikes once more. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Ⅲ. APPLICANT RECEIVES TRAINING IN THE WEAVING OF MANA, OF AT LEAST ONE CONCEPT, this is a privilege as opposed to a right, due to the dangerous nature of reckless power use. Further arts and avenues can be acquired provided that the practitioner proves themselves competent and capable. Alongside an encouragement to pursue artificing and craftsmanship. TRAINING IN FIELD MEDICINE, HERBALISM & SURGERY, through practical and theoretical lessons with accompanying textbooks such as those written by the following authors: Matthias Rutledge, Morgan Hallowfall, Li Xiu-Ying, Dele Seregon, Celithor, Casimira and Atarah Elibar'Acal. TRAINING IN COMBAT, through practical and theoretical lessons with accompanying textbooks such as those written by the following authors: Ser Ivan Robert, Gerald Elgan, Robert Stroheim, Valliline Yllasalor, Kaelin Keldor and Erendiel. ▂▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▂ ☾▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬☽⊰ ㊣ ⊱☾▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬☽ HIS LORDSHIP, LUCIUS de Sylva, ░
  9. I got lucky with the people Lucy grew up with around at the time. He asked them and they agreed to teach him. And I was in the same room as the two teachers when he turned sixteen, we were in a cottage in Cnor at the time. He gave one of them an Arcanium helmet on the day as a thank you present.
  10. ;-; @TaraJessThank you Tara... That's so adorable wtf Thanks I'm enjoying hanging out with your char too, I'm looking forward to seeing how everything progresses when the continent isn't dying and things we do actually matter again!
  11. Aurus... But honestly Adrian is getting close. He's very active and is growing as a person. Ark is never going to kill Larkin, unless Larkin starts going completely off the rails for some reason and becomes a danger to his children.
  12. @MailC3p Either this was a fever dream of yours, or I was high despite never doing drugs in my life. LOL. I liked the Sythaerin family though, they were one of the only good elven families I encountered
  13. Oh I didn't see the spoiler, uhhhh I apologised because I think if I was the recipient of everything that happened I'd be upset. And it took me a while to come to that conclusion.
  14. Ark would go up to you and ask if you're using those 5kg weights. Lucy though is canonically peak human strength, so uhhhh whatever Eddie Hall is benching these days lol.
  15. It's really bad, PayPal credit screwed me over and won't let me cancel it
  16. Aevos was my first map! I joined right at the start during a really awful period of my life, like a lot of people, using LOTC as an escape from all of that. My dad's cancer and his passing away, probably led me to no life-ing the RP, and taking it far more seriously than I should have with a desperate need for control in a time when I had none; especially during the Kaethul and Hohkmat era. I feel like I made a lot of enemies but fortunately also a lot of friends on the server so far. I've definitely made my fair share of mistakes, probably taking things IC into my OOC, which I regret a lot. So if you feel like I've wronged you, please say so I can apologise to you properly. Primaquorem, for example, I didn't actually do anything to you directly. But I definitely didn't intervene when I saw ppl piling onto your char after that assassination attempt. And I just ran with it when ppl icly came up to me with reports about how Haus had assassinated Lanre. I don't know if I should have broken character and not put a bounty up on the char out of fairness. I kept being told that you were trying to manipulate things oocly, so I just dissociated from the situation and let them do whatever it was they wanted. So I'm definitely sorry about that whole situation as I'm sure it wasn't one that made you happy. I hope eventually it's something you can forget about. If you haven't already ofc. I had two characters; Yera who was emotionally stunted and pretty manipulative; who did her best, however, to fight against evil but was constantly slandered until she became jaded and ultimately focused entirely on growing stronger until suffering ego death. Those that found her picked up the pieces of the character and slowly helped morph her into Ark today. An emotional naive battle mage who's need to feel more drives her to adrenaline fueled decisions. Luciiael; Honest to the point of hurting himself with the truth, brought about by the trauma of his youth. Just a guy with a bit of magic muscle and a bit of delusion. Unwilling to hurt an innocent person or stand idly by as someone innocent were hurt, as long as intervening doesn't harm his family. He's just a loving father and husband, trying to reach for some manner of glorious purpose beyond his means. Kaethul V4 Gasp. I'm going back to selling things on the new map, as my char and his family do their best to carve out a happy wholesome life for themselves. It won't be called Kaethul but I'm happy at least that Kaethul is something people remember as actually being a pretty successful merchant thing. Heh. Run by the human family de Sylva; it'll sell things from Enchantments, to skins, to custom weapons and tool art commissions. And of course have a market accessible to all. We have a build pre built for the new map so we'll be open from the very start! I hope to see you there.

  18. Pocket Mod - People should not be allowed to call over friends and people beholden to their characters over to do personal modding for them in CRP and other such situations. 

     

    Policies should really be written up for moderation. Where mods recuse themselves from situations involving friends or ppl that they have chars learning magic from. Where situations are actually investigated properly, and where a small private forum can be created for the accused to give their own evidence. Right now, if mods think you're guilty and you have evidence to the contrary or no way to prove you didn't send a discord message, you're banned and you just have to eat it.

      Considering the situation IS more unusual than powergaming pugsying (because, frankly, no ones mentioned anyone being downed/popped over this) then yes it merits a little more brain power to figure out the details rather than leaping to assumptions but nothing like a so-called 'full interview'.

       

      Its not strange or unusual for an odd situation to merit a slightly closer look. That's just common sense. A close look which, mind you, is quite literally just going 'explain yourself' and presenting the space to do so. That's kind of it. 

       

      Ticket systems are entirely optional and just a way to standardise but this can easily be done through /msg and dumping images in imagur to link.

       

      Now, in the cases of PG or pugsying you quite literally just stamp them as breaking the rules. Your next step is basically just figuring out if it was rereciprocal. There might be a little communication in that, there might not be. Situation dependent.

       

      So, yes. You can see certain stuff in the moment. There's also stuff you can't see in the moment. You only get to the other stuff by being willing to extend the slightest bit more effort beyond the bare minimum - and realistically it all just adds a few minutes to the resolution.

      LoTC's Next Top Model

      hitting people from across the city seems just as cut and dry to me as pugsying. it seems just as absurd to me to assume that they were given admit kit that needs inspection instead of just banning them for something which otherwise is obviously a matter of hacking, yes.

      how do i know the person pugsying DIDN'T have an admin sword? i don't. but that just shouldn't ******* matter lmao.  the precedent that we need to run any ban by all admins first to make sure they didn't just give out some weird admin item to a random for no reason before punishment is served is ludicrous. why are gms now obligated to assume that's the case in advance for anything that /might/ be hacking? "hmm. this non-staff player's flying. let me run through his pex, his inventory, and consult a survey of staff to make sure this is actually a matter of hacking and not a matter of him being given an item he shouldn't have in the first place!"

       

      the idea is ludicrous. if someone is hacking or doing something that can only normally be enabled by a hacked client, they should be banned outright, and admins/the tech team shouldn't have access to nor freely give out items that confuse this. if this causes a false ban one time out of forty thousand and they can just dm staff on discord... i really don't think it requires a full rewrite of all staff operations.

    4. Frostdrop1

      Frostdrop1

      What seems cut and dry to you, personally, should not be the definition of good moderation. Because frankly - yes, it looks cut and dry if you just cant be bothered to think and then figure out 'how'd that happen?' But with a little thought even beyond that it should be apparent that the situation is unusual and fairly rare which should be an indicator that leaping to any conclusion is probably a bad idea and therefore another route is probably more appropriate.

       

      Nobody's even said about running all bans across admins or a full rewrite of staff operations. TOS bans are run across admins which requires a unanimous decision - which is a horrible system. It only takes one biased party to block a deserved ban. It should be by majority at most. Having every ban run by them is entirely unnecessary and would probably only highlight that issue more.

       

      There already are rules for moderation behind the scenes which may include a kind of policy. There are already things mods cannot do. Presumably, there is a minimum expected standard whether its written or verbal. OP is just putting out that there should be a policy which is also not unusual. I would, however, bet there probably is one already. I am not convinced if there is one that it is consistently applied, though.

       

      Irregardless, without a dialogue you lose out on information. A quick question with the recent case would have been enough to reveal basically everything necessary, from where they got the stick to why they thought they were justified using it. It's just basic common sense and it isn't strenuous.

       

      Frankly, there will always be false bans with or without an extra word in place. At the very least you can say you put in some effort which we should expect from the mods, rather than contributing to the somewhat testy faith that is held in the mods on this server anyway. The best mods on this server are willing to go a much longer mile than that but they are pretty peak. 

       

      Also, not sure what an admin pugsy sword has to do with this so im just going to give it my best go as an aside. Reminder, again, no one got pugsied. I can only assume this situation would involve somewhat getting bonked from max health (?) But with the implications here that one cannot tell if its a special sword or not, perhaps they were just low health. With the former, the same would theoretically apply as figuring out what happened because its unusual. With the second, you know no different so extra steps aren't required. Here, in this speculative scenario, we know an extra problem in the scenario and one cannot 'reverse engineer' pathway to find the magic item, as it were, if there was zero indication that the situation was odd. If there are indications somethings strange, that's when more attention is given. I.e. mods don't know the future and aren't psychic so no ones asking for excess work when it doesnt appear to be required because there are no indications of oddity.

  20. Ark rushed towards the front gates of the impenetrable fort to pay the five hundred minas. Her portal snapping shut behind her- But when she arrived... Not ten minutes later after the missives reached the rest of the continent... they laughed in her face from behind locked doors and told her that they'd made a 'mistake' and that it was now three rare minerals worth well over twenty thousand minas in total. A fee she could never afford and that would damage even the empire. Well within the knowledge that the Empire would never pay such a fee, even for a duke, let alone the baron of the Isles.
