Dawn

"Bullshit.  Nothing's better than Dawn's Bakery."

I fully support this statement. ;)

(( I am not really worried about anyone, so far everyone has been welcoming and warm. I am not sure how many years have passed since the last Perea died, but to me, a woman born long after those events, being named "Dawn" and running a bakery as one of the few forms of entrepreneurship available to women in the time period, is not that out of place. I chose the name because it is my choice to make. I chose the profession to earn an income and do something I really enjoy. Any OOC issues related to Asulon can just remain in the past, as far as I am concerned.))

((The old character has been dead for a very long time and many of the current players never met her. There is nothing connecting this new character to the old one but OOC knowlege...I do not see an issue unless someone intends to act against me in an OOC manner. If that is the case Mirtok, then I have to urge you to come to me and talk out any OOC issues you hold against me.))

(( I have had such a great time tonight on the server. Its been so much fun to RP with so many new members and see many old friends and I want to thank you all for the warm welcomes.

For some of you that may be confused, please let me clarify this. My current character's name IS Dawn. Dawn is my IRL name and most people call me by it already, so I chose to use it again in RP. Her last name is Ashby...its a bit of a joke based on the fact that the old "Dawn" character died by fire. I, the real life woman, has always enjoyed the RP that the bakeries have created and I wished to do what I enjoyed the most, again. The parallels to my old character come only from this RL influence. My current character is in no way related to the Pereas of the past. I hope this clears up any confusion and hope that this post announcing my new bakery does not become a home for trolls. I hope to see everyone in the bakery soon! :D))

Changing from her dress into her night clothes, Deedee smiled as she recalled the events of the night. Dancing with Thy and racing her brother to finish a tall mug of ale made tonight's party one of the best of her life. Hearing a soft knock on her door, she calls for the visitor to enter, knowing that at this late hour, it must be her brother. She turns to him preparing to continue the onslaught of teases over his loss to her in their drinking contest, but is rendered speechless by the sight of him.

Standing in the dim candle light, he appears pale and is visibly shaking. Rushing to his side, she demands to know what is wrong, what has happened. He does not answer, but only raises his eyes from his interwoven fingers to meet her own. There, seemingly etched into his very soul, is her answer. Her dearest Papa, the core of her world, has left them.

Small homes :if you payed 4000 for your home you will pay 250 mina for your home or if you added a basement to it and increased the price to 5000 then you pay a tax of 5000

If you added a basement and increased base to 5000 then you pay 5000 in tax? I suddenly do not want to live here.

No, there is no building that is taxed 5,000 mina. If you pay your taxes in mina, then it is five percent of the value of your home.

I have just donated for bedrock level so that should cover the costs of the town

TOWN CHARTER

MC Name: DanielSozonov

RP Name: Daniel

Town Name: Trading port of Endisia

Why is your character starting this village/settlement? What is its purpose?

Note: We have stations all over the wilds that bring us resources

This fort will serve as a militaristic check point where any traveler can stop by and rest or eat in the pub. We will be very honorable to our friends and diplomatic connections but be harsh with our enemies. I have seen thousands of people suffering because of the undead and/or starvation and it is a cold hard reality that I want to stop from repeating. In this new settlement we will welcome travelers and protect against any bandits. In the towns lore we are going to be renovating the old abandoned fort ruled previously by lord zouch(he is a fictional character) and we want to live on and fight for his purpose which is "travelers should walk the road without the fear of death and decapitation, without the fear of losing someone you love, without thinking that any second you could be robbed of your most valuable possessions and be left homeless without any help, without the fear of bandits! So we are to protect and serve the people of Asulon in any way we can and show no fear towards them, to take up arms and get rid of them for the good of the people.

What type of political system or leadership is within the village?

Lord: We have the lord who is the leader of the village and the most powerful but he doesn't take advantage of this power that much and is except being able to banish some people just another citizen

Lord's advisor: This person will help the lord and is second in-command.

Baron: A baron is a rich person who is trusted in the village and the status will be given by the lord.

Citizen: This is a ordinary citizen of the village

Knight: Highest military position this is the best of the best

Guardsmen: After you are a trusted citizen and have been in combat multiple times you will be awarded the status of guardsmen.

Footman: This is a basic military position.

What sort of behavior will residents exhibit? (Race relations, nation relations, etc.)

The village will be very peaceful and any race can join. It will be located in the human kingdom (If I can arrange that) but if a war breaks out between the human race and another race we will be on the human side. We seek trade-partners and will be very diplomatic about our actions and want to make sure that no fights break out between citizens of the asulon land. We do not take kindly to someone who has a criminal record of theft, torture etc. We also consider not going to war not is not isolationism but the exact opposite leaving space for honest trade, diplomacy, and friendship. This will cause peace and prosperity between the kingdoms.

Where would you prefer the town’s region be? Including a screenshot of the land would be nice (of game or map).

Any other details (architecture, races, culture, etc):

Lore: The reason for the odd name is that it once belonged to a man named Lord Zouch. This story dates back to a few hundred years ago and we are not sure if everything word of word is correct because all we have to rely on the facts is his journal, some citizen's journals and a stories that I was told as a child. Long ago in the lands of Asulon there was a lord that owned his own fief and this mans name was zouch he was also given titles such as the protector and slaughterer of the evil which he got as from slaying bandits, and the undead while protecting the people of Asulon. This great man had his own fief with a palace and great walls surrounding the 25 by 25 plot of land. Everyday he would wake up from his palace and great all citizens and basically mingle and chit-chat. He was always a very predictable man that likes to keep a code of honor and always makes sure to follow it such as: "Even a guilty man will not be executed without a trail, a bandit is a bandit no matter the reason they do what they do, never bet or gamble as it will mostly likely end in you losing what you are betting, treat everyone fairly citizen fairly no matter their status or their wealth", and lastly his most important rule was "If you take care of Asulon it will take care of you". He took pride in what he did which is hunting bandits and keeping the citizens of Asulon safe against the undead, as well as shaping a wonderful welcome society that everybody wants to be a part of. One day as his horse went galloping through the forest with him stationed firmly on top of it with sheet metal plates covering every inch of his body causing the horse to sag 2 inches lower if anyone else was riding it because it wasn't just the armor but also the fact that zouch was a very fit and heavy man. He noticed a bandit camp right across from him on the northern side of the eastern fields. This fort ranged from 20-25 feet tall with heavy stone bricks making for a double-layered thick wall impenetrable by just brutal force as well as 6 towers reaching as far as the naked eye can see into the sky. This fort with the information that he gathered seemed to have at least a good 40-50 bandits all in the same encampment. He decided to retreat back to his establishment and call forth his troops to prepare a attack on the fort. After hours upon hours of consulting with his most trusted advisors he came up with a plan of running TNT through the sewage system of the fort and blowing it from underneath causing the floor to collapse and leaving at least a dozen people shell shocked. The only problem was that he had no way of getting the fuses to work all at the same time because of the wet sewage water rushing through the bottom half of the pipes. For this one of his men a very brave soldier by the name of Edward Woodwind a half elf-half human 6 ft tall fighting machine that could crawl through almost any gap as small as 10 inches in diameter. That was the reason that it was he was best fit to go on this mission, that and the fact that he volunteered to go although he knew that the chances of him getting out alive were extremely slim ((haha get it; never mind I am not funny.)) ((To be continued... I will finish this story later as well as write the diary of lord zouch, edward woodwind and another mysterious citizen)).

Also the Palace will be the main hall where the lord, lord's advisor, and military will live we will also have feast sometimes with lots of food involved and just a great party over all the village will be very close and everyone will pretty much know each other. We will also be self-sustaining because we will have a wheat farm as well as be next to a river where we can fish.

*After reading over the application, Queen Dawn scribbles a quick note to Mr. Braveaxe and sends it with a messanger.

Mr. Braveaxe,

after reviewing your application I wish to meet with you and further discuss the possibility of you becoming the Architect of Salvus. Please send word of when you may be available to meet in person?

~Queen Dawn

*A small, unofficial note has been attached to the board outside the city walls.*

Tolta, 10th of the first seed, 19. I went to the church for my daily prayer when I noticed something of my concern. The church ceiling has almost no support! I know for sure that you are using the bridgestone way of having the roof, making it support itself, using gravity. As a carpenter, I know for sure that the roof will not hold for many years. I suggest putting up some wooden support. Oak logs will do fine. I am willing to help any way I can, to fix this matter. Go and look for yourself.

Sincerely, Jordan Stilwell.

*You finish reading the note, and walk straight towards the church. As of entering, you look to the ceiling, and see this:

*You start to mutter for yourself, and then stroll off, back to the main gate of Solace.*

*Queen Dawn pulls the note from the board and after reading it, makes her way to the church. After attempting to examine the roof, she realizes that she has no idea what she should be looking for. She pens a letter to the man who left the note and sends it via bird.

Dear Jordan,

I have seen your note stating your concerns of the soundness of our church roof. I looked myself, but I was unable to detect any issues with it. I am no carpenter by any means and the skill of building alludes me completely. You however are very skilled in your craft, and if you say it needs repair, then I take your word for it.

I wish to accept your generous offer of assistance with this matter. I will supply any building materials you need and pay you for your time of course. If you would, send word to me of what you will need exactly and when you may be available to make repairs.

Thank you for your care and concern of our Kingdom Jordan,

~Queen Dawn.

((First of all, There was no guards behind you, only beside. He walked up behind you and put a sword to your throat. He did not dodge others attacks due to the fact that I was behind him and that is where they were attacking. No one tried to shoot him or attack from the side or front. Since we were being surrounded we moved you outside. I was behind him and burk protected his side. Once we got outside the guards still followed. We told them to stop and they didnt. So he slit your throat. Also you made no attempt to get free which you could have. We are not saying you have to kill off your char just that it is a bit powergaming that you didnt go to the monks. We had many people outside the house saying the things they did to heal you were unrealistic and a bit powergaming. Also if you told your guards not to do anything oocly isnt that metagaming? If you went to the monks you would have been fine. This way it hit many vital organs and your vocal cords. Since you never went to the monks there is no way you should be able to talk))

((Many others who were there can tell you what they saw as well, and it does not fit your description. I will not bother to banter with you back and forth on who is right and who is wrong.

I do ask this though...What about being a sword swinging villian gives you correct credentials ICly to be a medical expert, have the ability to judge someone else's healing skills versus a monk, or diagnose the exact injury delivered before the victum hits the ground? You accuse me of powergaming, but in reality you are unhappy that I did not follow your idea of how the story should go. I have impeded on no one else's rights to respond to the role play,nor I have provented anyone else's story from unfolding...But I am not responsible for ensuring that my character follow your script.))

((What kind of surgery was performed on you? ))

((I have no idea, I was primarily afk during this role play aruging with susitsu in /tells. I saw enough to know they used potions and dressed the wound. I am sure it was nothing more miraculous than the "kidnapping" itself.))

((He had you as a hostage, there would be no way around it. We told the people to back off and they still tried to walk closer to you. It would not be powergaming due to the fact he had you help from behind. If anything you were powergaming, I had several people tell us that after he put you down you were talking. Not to mention the fact that you were performing surgery in medieval times.__

((He walked into a crowd of armed guards, magically got a hold of Dawn while holding all others back and dodging any attack that came his way, never losing his grip on his sword or his balance. After a long arugument in OOC over how this is even possible, I said to the guards to let him take me since he was disrupting so much rp time. He then drug Dawn outside of the gates and slit her neck...Where is the confusion over the powergaming issue here?))

((We are PG? We are not saying you MUST perma kill your char. We are just saying that you should have to the monks. I also think we are not just PG, alot of people do not just villains. This is prejudice. ))

((The powergaming came in when he emoted slashing her neck with no chance for her to escape or respond to the action. This is not prejudice, it is fact.))

((Just saying, the emote that susitu did stabbed her THROUGH the neck not slashed: http://gyazo.com/1fb9245ab5dc59fdc0c5cb3a7cbc0079 ))

((Exactly, another powergaming move by another villian...big suprise. If you feel that anyone else has the right to powergame and kill of another person's character, by all means, let him have at yours.))

*An official Salvus document is found pinned to the notice board near the gates of Solace.

(( I'm an elf but i was present for this event ))

While trading stories with your freind he mentions a comotion he heard of and hands you a journal. Inside it contains the following entry...

Ahad,15th of Malins welcome, 17

Today I journeyed to Salvus, after several events I ended up in the operating room of the local hospital. Suddenly a great number of people burst in the room yelling wildly I was ordered out along with several other. They had Queen Dawn with them, she had been slashed in the neck and was bleeding heavily. She was attacked by bandits and was taken here immediately. The surgeons worked the whole night and into the afternoon but dawn still lives. She is expected to survive her injuries. * the following section appears to be added after the original text * Dawn was able to rise from her bed by the 19th. She truly owes her life to Botar, the doctor who attended to her. Rumor has it that a Man named sparrow attacked dawn and that sparrow was once a decent man but corrupted by a man named Wrath, this cam ea s a major betrayal to all. Miraculously not a week after her injury dawn was able to speak, quite strange as her vocal cords would have almost certainly been cut by the blade. I assume some people in this world are just perpetually lucky. While speaking to others after almost a week i have found that Botar did not act alone it seems he was assisted by Aedan Gwyn and Edward. Though I have found that they assisted the good doctor, though I do not know how. I assume with the operation

- Field Surgeon Kolyat Alfakyn

You are not a very observant reporter I am afraid. I was not attacked by a man named Sparrow. I was attacked by two cowards who hid their faces behind a mask ((susitsu and Burkester)) I was slashed accross the neck but my vocal cords were never cut. I have been healing for days with the expert skills of Botar and Gwen and the reason for the attack given is that it was comissioned by Renatus.

The person who made the alt has a VA for 4, so technically he is allowed to do it. Also, this wasn't a multiple attack, it was a single raid by a bandit group. Mogroka has stated that 5 or under (All with VA's) are allowed to raid without a war claim.

Also, please do not start / aim to start an OOC flame war. IC flame wars are fine, but do not say anything in OOC that will instigate an OOC flame war. Lets keep this civil :unsure:.[]

((If the person who made the alt account is allowed to do it, then why was he banned?

Also, I would like to point out that out of everyone I spoke to about these attacks, not one of them said you were there. They did say however that there were multiple attacks by the same bandits and provided screen shots of various incidents. If I was misinformed and you were actually there, then I apologize and will ask around more.

As for your accusation that I am trying to spark a flame war, it is unfounded. I am simply responding to the situation and sharing the information that has been shared with me. If you view it as inflammatory, that is your choice.))

((Exactly :D so this is not Renatus propaganda but concerned citizens being called enemies :P))

((Oh, I did not mean to imply that the OP was the one spreading the usual Renatus propoganda. I mean the fake forum account and at least of of the villians who have posted on this thread.))

Queen Dawn is sitting upon her throne when she receives word of the accusations against Hanseti. She thanks the messenger and sends him away before speaking to herself in the empty room.

Renatus will simply stop at nothing to spread its lies and infect all it can with this evil. They send threats and bandits to Salvus almost daily and now accuse innocent men of murder. I had hoped that things may change for Renatus with the crowning of their new King, but all I see is more of their same old trickery.

(( this is ooc'ly my comp has been broken for a week and I thought we already went over these daily attacks from what I read here it seems that these are raids that require a war claim but I may be mistaken hopefully my comp will be fixed soon. ))

((Some villians have bent the rules again by returning multiple times, but Zezimus and some of the Peace Keepers kept killing them. The GMs are watching the situation now as well and we are back to screen shotting everything like we had to do before.

The posts like this is just Renatus doing their propaganda thing again. The fake "Salvus Reborn account has been banned too. Nothing we have not seen before from them.))

((Please note that what I said was IC. I did that because there was no official answer in this thread. ;) ))

((There was no answer in this thread because you sent me a PM from the view point of your character. Here is your official answer...again))

Dear Sir,

Lord Drake has passed along your note for review, and after careful consideration, I regret to inform you that your charter will not be granted.

Although your town is lovely and it's theme would be well suited within Salvus, the viewpoints of your citizens do not. Salvus is not a Human Nation, but a mixed one. We welcome any and all of any race that chose to reside with us. I am afraid that a town, mistrustful of so many races, would find itself ill at ease here.

Also, as Lord Drake has pointed out, I see little chance for your town to earn an income and provide any benefit to the Kingdom.

I hope you are able to find the right area for your settlement soon sir,

~Queen Dawn Perea

*You find a small book, it is written in fine handwriting, ye read on:*

Today was my first Peacekeeper shift. This is what I encountered today, and thought.

1. Some parts of the Gatehouse must be changed, as they impair vision.
   
2. I was yelled at for 'sleeping', but I just couldn't see the man.
   
3. Tageroo, Peacekeeper, yelled at me.
   
4. Tageroo lead 3-4 Peacekeepers to their deaths.
   
5. Sunbi was killed; but healed by the Monks.
   
6. Tageroo lead an unauthorized raid on a cult outside Salvus.
   
7. The Peacekeepers there had no jurisdiction, but Tageroo lead the raid anyway.
   
8. ((Tageroo raged at me OOCly, called me the B-Word, got a screen.))
   
9. I request disceplenary action against Tageroo, for leading PKs to their deaths for now reason, and ((Cursing at me OOCly)).
   

Signed, LaTerre, Recruit Peacekeeper~

This will be looked into immediately.

~Queen Dawn

Well, Dawn denied the charter. She thinks the town can't fill Salvus' coffers with enough coin, and she apparently doesn't like humans living in the land...

Don't understand why anyone calls it a human nation, it's lead by an elf and a large part of its citizens aren't even human.

-Roger Ithelias

((I'll try to find a different location now, but I don't think there are any suitable places left for a human town in a bog. I hope I find a different place for the town but it will be hard.))

Actually, this is not even close to what I told you. I explained that Salvus is a MIXED nation and a racist settlement does not fit in well with us. I also mentioned that you have no source of income as pointed out by Lord Drake.

So, what you were basically asking for is land in order to build a town that hates the majority of the citizens of Salvus, to lead yourselves and not answer to the government already in place and to contribute nothing of value to the Kingdom that owns the land...I hope you are not seriously confused on how I could possibly turn down such an offer...

* Dunhagen sends a letter to the Salvus officials*

Ladies and Gentlemen,

my name is Dunhagen Goldhand and i'm running the shop "The Goldhand Ore Shop".

Since business is going very well, i see it for me financially possible to purchase

a big house in your fine kingdom.

Unfortunatly it came to my attention that most of your houses are already sold.

The intention of this letter is to ask you, if you are planning to build more

medium sized houses inside the city or if you would build one on my request.

I hope for your answer.

Sincerely,

Shopkeeper Dunhagen Goldhand

Hello Dunhagen,

I am sorry to say that since the Captial is now full, there will be no more homes built within its walls. We are still building outside the walls however, and should have more large houses available soon.
