I was pretty skeptical before watching the video. I went in thinking this was going to be another disaster. I'm really excited about this plugin now though! It gives purpose to a supply chain and gives LOTC a shot at a more balanced economy. Now nations, especially dwarves, have a reason to have blacksmithing guilds to keep the armory stocked and multiple smiths can be utilized at one time to speed up the process of creating armor for new recruits. I have to say it's going to suck to start out with as (I'm assuming) everyone will start at the same level so someone who has been RPing a master [insert profession here] for months will be the same as someone just starting out, but given a fair leveling system it gives players something to strive towards. Concern: Casual RPers who don't have as much time to 'grind' away at the skill system to get better will be somewhat disadvantaged Suggestion: I get that this is the crafting pluggin but it's so closely related to the professions that I think this applies: Please include an option to turn off 'experience gain' when crafting. If I want to RP a character who is only a mediocre smith it would be nice to reach that point and be able to stay there.

The cries of a town herald reach Gulroid's ears. Apparently the once great city of Kal'Alras was to be resurrected. Gulroid's mood immediately shifts to one of displeasure. He can be heard muttering: "Last I 'eard de moighty King Syrio, tha' bastard, was rottin' in de nether. Seems 'e managed te crawl or per'aps bribe 'is way out. De real Kal'Alras died de day 'e took power." With that Gulroid immediately heads back to the Goldhand clan hall to discuss matters with his clan mates.

Gulroid hears his clan-mate's cries and draws the younger dwarf off to oneside so as not to make any more of a scene. "Finki lad der 'ave been sum changes to de dwarven government which ye may no' know about. Der 'ave been sum cleva' politics which allowed de king te 'ave absolute authority ova' dese matters. It all seemed relevant when der was talk of rebellion bu' now de king 'as enough powa' te do wha' 'e wants. Aldough when ye think abou' it de election process did seem a little rushed." Satisfied he has answered the younger dwarf's questions, Gulroid begins to wander off. ((http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/87487-crown-authority-raised/ It could be argued that given it's final exam time the application process was short, but there were few applicants so...))

"Afta' checking de records it seems dat I not be on yer list of moiners. In de transition period my name mus' 'ave been lost. I 'ave filled out yer form an' left a copy of me old permit. I also 'ave my quota, I jus' need sum one te give it to"
