“Cursed be the dwed who bent the knee!” Atthil Frostbeard bellowed from a mountain top, where he has preserved himself for the Grand Kingdom’s future since the war first began to turn.

"Even after tha' Qalasheen's betrayal..." Sergius the Wandering Merchant whispered before signing the Lorraine "Godan! How merciful an' generous is our Emperor!"

I don't plan on doing something like this and I am mostly wondering if this is an actual enforced rule or more of a guideline... but honestly, I wouldn't see it as RP friendly.... IRPLY inheritance makes sense: A family continuing to use a commissioned build, as you described. I don't think someone should be able to go back and steal random builds... inspired is different ofc. However, say the House of Oak has a tower in one map, and generations later, the descendants of House of Oak (regardless if the builder is still involved with them) incorporate that original tower into a new build - would that be disallowed? In an IRP perspective, I feel like that old build would just be architectural tradition or smth, not really OOC stealing. And I won't lie, I'm unsure how far build "ownership" extends in MC or LotC. I don't know about the server's TOS or legal copyright that might apply... but I don't imagine MCRP builds are covered much.... Thoughts friend?

Sergius the wandering merchant scratched his head as Salatiel's words were relayed to him by fellow traders. "Why would the hells seethe over a coup? Yeh would think they'd gloat at our disorder, not weep over it and seek 'justice' - Nay, this 'Salatiel' has fooled yeh all" he tutted "For he sounds less like a Prince o' the Hells and more like a bitter loyalist of the old Grand Duke, blabbering in a hellish costume to frighten children and discredit the regency council from within our walls."

Sergius had heard of the news of House de Senna's release, and only rumors of Lady Lorena's unfortunate end. "Ah did not know the lass, yet I've heard her name spoken out with respect - a woman of a house I always perceived to be tied to the Empire's cause." He then rubbed his temples, a frown creasing his brow. "Ah hope - nay, I trust - there are good reasons behind all of this, reasons unknown to a common man such as meself." He fell quiet for a moment before muttering, half out of habit, half in faith- "Ave Imperium."

"Hah! Long live the emperor and his good senses, ah won't be robbed at the markets as much as on the roads to St. Godwinsburg! Ah near emptied meh coin purse for a horse that had naught but the hairs on its back- slow as mud too." Sergius then knelt, fixed his gaze toward the Seven Skies and signed the Lorraine in thankfulness before rising to his feet and heading to the nearest market....

I can't help but think most posts like these are rep farms because people will obviously say they feel disconnected from staff, no hate towards JoshBright. I will say, Kaiser's words on the issue are spot on in my humblest of opinions.

Upon hearing of the missive from a fellow fieldhand: Marcellus the Peasant threw his plow down onto the ground. Turning towards the Royal City of Portoregne, he mumbled; "Hell, these damned royals have a crown for each head in their household" The man removed a sweaty straw hat from his head and lashed out at his fellow - and equally poor - laborers "This ol' thing has been passed down for three generations!

Atthil Frostbeard slapped his belleh "Focken 'ell... He could be anywhere!" he yells, before searching in the chamber pots of Urguan's capital.

Atthil Frostbeard had a fellow dwarf read the missive out for him- upon concluding he praised the catalogue "Well written and very informational- a great excuse for an adventure!"

I was going to do a status comment or whatever it's called. But since people were discussing about how certain players (I suppose the bigger human nations especifically) didn't care about this world-changing, I just wanted to yap for a second and give my two cents. I play dwarf and peasant human characters. How will my illiterate dwarf or my ignorant and not so well traveled human peasant know of any of this cool lore without SEEING & HEARING of these? My knowledge on the event thus far is the following: - Xanists & Paladins = Same thing? They do some cool magic things and Order-like stuff, church is not against them afaik? - Xan = Apparently some Angel or Aengul guy that is a diety. - Azdrazi = Bad (Mark Zuckerburg/lizard people) Church is against them, evil. Did I say they were bad? - Azdromoth = Dragon overlord who is like their host? Like Xan is to the Paladins? I know this is a very lore-illiterate perspective, because I truthfully have not pushed myself to read much of the cool lore Lotc has to offer. HOWEVER, these recent events (IF THEY REALLY ARE AS BIG AS PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE) ignorant or not more characters/players should have heard about it. I get there were supposedly people going around. But not only should they have spoken to NL's (I get some may have been boring and said they didn't want to help) but even if IRPLY an arrogant descendant King didn't wish to help- there should be consequences to that, and these consequences should be hinted at BEFORE the big pacific Rim battle between Xan and Azdromoth so people know its the real deal. Talking to the Canonist Church could have helped too? I mean most human players skim through their posts? Could do the event emotes that players get WHEN THEY LOG ON (A lot could miss the server wide emotes as I did) Heck although I have less than 10 hours of activity & read the forums quite consistently, maybe staff can PIN the event posts? I haven't seen one. (A little meta gaming is good for the soul) This Age of Dragons thing, and buffed Azdrazi & no more Paladins (even if I don't play Azdrazi or Paladins) sounds awesome and although this is a small playerbase it IS world changing.. Like if it had been spun as a religious thing im sure human players would have wanted to contribute more. If players/characters don't SEE/HEAR about these things how are we suppose to know? Anyway, not quite sure how this can be solved but just saying myself and others would have participated if we just had known about it. It might seem like I live under a rock- and lore-wise.... I might. But just saying, had no clue. Seems very cool tho, props to the ST team, ggs to Paladins, well done to Azdrazi ig, & hope we get to see the consequences of this going forward (Haven't seen the blackened sky but thanks for that tech team & ST start spawning dragons or something, im ready for my Skyrim RP.) Also comment links to the posts regarding this world-changing thing if possible. Thank you

This realm gained instant legitimacy with me just by having cool COA.

Atthil Frostbeard who remained uninformed on political matters, scratched his bearded chin "Oi wondah wot this is about..." he turned then towards the tavern to ask about the political message & its meaning.

Atthil Frostbeard drank the moonshine he had made in his bathtub earlier that day - "These wee folk sure are strict with their regulations"

Antonious, an old heartlander anti-orenian veteran starts to convulse.

A lil passive aggressive imo. Many people have their ups & downs with lotc, Coming and leaving as they please- some just don't know if it will be their last time leaving or not. I agree it can be a bit much since I have noticed some people posting about leaving and then coming back only to be thrice more active- but unnecessary to dismiss their goodbye Just disregard their post

Reasons for leaving and server issues are misplaced if vented here. And while I hope you come to enjoy lotc again, this is a dnd post. I do think an LOTC adaptation should be set during the time of some of the most well known conflicts. I often hear of the War of two Emperors for example, and I think placing your story during this time HOWEVER focusing on other RICH aspects of LOTC would be cool. Its like this memorable and world changing conflict going on, but your story is focused on other characters (preferably not humans to enhance the fantasy feel) and their own issues and challenges - the major conflict being a relatively far away issue.
