Gustav returns to his humble abode deep in the murky sewers of Helena.. he contemplates whether he should run once more for Liveryman of Helena having served four terms through out his life. As he tries to pull off his self designs Liveryman sash he realizes he has worn it so long that that it has become glued to his sewage soaked clothes.. “Hmm..” he turns to his rodent companions “Perhapssss thisss is a sssign we have ssspent too long in the politicssss above.. We shall hang up our sassssh and finally retire” in that moment he rips off his sash. He only hopes that his impact on the city shall last as long as the rashes that cover his body.

As Gustav Ratmane goes about his daily routine of bathing in various spaces around Helena’s waterworks he finds a flyer while reaching for his scrubbin’ brush. “Only one mina for fresssssh sssewer water? Th-h-hatsss a sssteal” he says, while literally bathing in said water for free.

So you are in the same boat as me, currently Llir and Tythus are still trying to track down the issue but this problem has plagued Minecraft servers for a decade. 
 

As of now there are two fixes for this, the first is to go into your router settings and disable NAT Acceleration  (it will give this option specifically, if it doesn’t do not click anything related to disabling NAT specifically).

The second option is safer, but might have an additional cost to you, it is what I currently have to do to connect to the server and that is through the use of a VPN. I’ve found that the problem goes away when I connect my VPN to the UK. 

I’m sorry if neither solution works for you, we can only hope that Tythus and Llir figure it out, but it’s related to your IP connecting to the server so it has nothing to do with the Minecraft client itself.

*Whispers spread among the criminal underworld of a new bastion of lawlessness, a sanctuary for the destitute and forgotten. Underlena is welcome to all.*

A Repulsive History

       Following the passing of the Gustavian Zoning Initiative of 1737, Mayor Gustav Mane began his construction of the expansive sewer system under the streets of Helena. Although the city had allocated plenty of resources, manpower was low. The Mayor took it upon himself to construct the sewers. Over the course of three years he dug tunnels and drains throughout the city, alone he worked but not for long. It was a long night in the year 1740 where Gustav met Ratchelle, a rat spawning from a great lineage of royalty among rats hailing from Ves. Gustav felt accepted amongst the rats under the sewers and saw himself in their struggles. In his work in the sewers it was said that Gustav went mad, was it that his only company was that of rats, or perhaps the toxic waste that flowed through the canals and sewers of the Helena. Before long it was said that he snapped, Gustav abandoned his role as mayor and had not been seen for years to come.

    A decade later Gustav emerged from the sewers, donning the name of Ratmane, he had not only created a home for himself in the sewers, but a family as well. Gustav would sometimes travel to the surface and observe the citizens of Helena, much had changed. He saw the people turn their noses up at the poor and downtrodden, petty criminals disgraced from the city, he saw a need to address these lost souls and give them a home of their own, where they could feel safe from the empire. After years of keeping only the company of rats, Gustav decided to open his dwelling to the surface to those he deems unacceptable and unwelcome by the surface above. On the year 1753 Gustav Ratmane founded.. Underlena, the City Beneath.

Toxic Lakeside Living

In Underlena those who gain entry are welcome to purchase a lovely home safe from the authorities above. Whether it is a stash house or a hideout while you let the heat die down on a recent job these small rooms are open for both short term rentals and long term leases.

Life in the Sewers

Life in Underlena is a peaceful existence, free of authority. There are some considerations to keep in mind when considering moving.

• Residents of this grotto prefer their business remain their business, so don’t ask too many questions and keep quiet on the surface.
• The Lake is toxic, enter at your own risk. ((If you were to fall in said lake you must roll 1-100, this is a work in progress on the details))
  • 1-60 will just require a hot bath and intense scrubbing
  • 61-80 Slime Infection - 1-3 days of stomach sickness (vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration) will dissipate in a couple days or immediately with proper medication.
  • 81-95 Severe Slime Infection - 4-6 days of stomach sickness and temporary blindness, seek medical attention immediately.
  • 91-95 -In addition to the infection, an amputation may be required if a limb had a cut or wound to stop the spread. 
  • 96-98 - Rat Flu - Bed ridden for two weeks, severe twitching and organ failure
  • 99-100 - Rat Madness - If one were to fall in lake multiple times with rolls of 99 or higher you succumb to the famed Rat Sickness 
• Rats frequent Underlena and the rest of the sewers, they are not to be harmed as is the primary law set by Gustav.

((Interested?))

((The purpose of Underlena is to create not only an interesting space for roleplay but also as a space to foster villany RP that everyone can enjoy. Traditional “Bandit” RP is not what we are looking for but if you are able to expand on that and create situations that are fun for everyone involved that is what we are looking for.

We are looking for 

• Someone to run the tavern/gambling hall, it is relatively finished but needs cleaning up on the interior
• 2-4 Shops to open selling goods that could only be found in the underworld
• Anyone looking to try some fun and interesting villany RP.

Gustav Ratmane peers out from under the canal bridge in Helena. He watches as Leonard II and his men break down the gate to his old Mayoral residence. A single tear rolls down his rodent-like cheek as he hears the slaughtering of his children. No rodent survived this massacre. “Des Sholdiers No Good. Kill-kill them I sssshhaaal.” Gustav let’s out a loud shrill squeak and returns to all fours and scurries down the halls of the sewers. Slowly rats emerge among the stones and alleys and follow him into the darkness.

~ Quiet as a Mouse ~

          The Mayoral Estate of Helena has lied dormant for months now. Since the most recent election of the Liverymen not a soul has seen or heard from the Lord Mayor Gustav Mane. What was once full of life under the office of Lord Tybis de Ruyter has not become a cold desolate haven for all types of pests, rats especially. Little was known about Gustav Mane during his time as a Liverymen but one thing was certain, he had a fascination with the sewers. His primary focus of legislation while serving on the council was on the construction of a great sewer system, a marvel of engineering that would keep Helena’s canals clean. But over time the support of the council faded and he was left alone in its construction. After weeks of not seeing or hearing from the Mayor, Liveryman of the Bard’s Ward, Dax Illiquin went searching through the Mayoral Estate to find clues for Gustav’s disappearance. In the dimly lit study an old journal was found:

“12^th of the First Seed, 1740

          I find myself alone in my work, it appears what lies in the underbelly of this city has proven too much for the workers. Day by day less arrive to the work site many succumbing to the sickness carried by these waters. It has proven difficult, not only for the lack of manpower but since I would typically eat some of their lunch as well. Nevertheless I must carry on, I have no fear of the rodents that roam below, in fact I quite enjoy the good company and conversation. Never the less, I am about to begin a new section of the sewer, I hope to finish soon

Gustav RatMane, Lord Mayor of Helena, and Barber”

          And so, the Mayoral Estate lies empty. It appears the Mayor has gone missing, perhaps for the best. Some say at night noises can be heard from the sewers, squeaking, hissing, and chattering of rodents and an occasional joyous laugh. To the confusion of the stewards rent for the Barbershop continues to be paid on time, and to the dismay of the Imperial Butler, cheese continues to go missing from the palace. Beware if one were to enter the unfinished sewers, as those who had once worked there will warn of what lies below.

Did this post feel productive to you?

Wilfred quietly lamented that he could not do more to extend the life of dear Daniel. He remembers the long chats he and the pontiff had while Wilfred massaged Daniel’s feet to help relieve the excruciating pain of the holy man’s Gout.

Gustav Mane emerges from his barbershop, another slow day of working hard for very little pay. He opens his ledger and sees once more that he is severely in debt. As he walks down the street he hears murmurs of another job opening. He already works as a Barkeep, Tour boat guide, Recruit,  and of course a barber, whats another job on the pile. He files his application. For with all his jobs he can truly represent the workin’ man.

Clan Buub

Clan Buub was formed under Zug, A descendent of Dom. Its name was granted onto Zug in a vision from “a great spirit” who Zug says is called Uzg’Buub, the World Pig.” Orks of this clan believe that the land everyone lives on is on the back of a giant pig named Uzg’Buub. Uzg’Buub is said to want all orks to grow big like it. It shall bless all orks who eat in excess, klomp in honor, and breed, so that orks grow big like Uzg’Buub.  Their primary role in Orcish society is to farm for the good of the nation.

Appearance

((If need a skin made I can assist with that, or if you have a skin you like that needs recoloring I can assist as well))

Skin tone and Body Structure

Orcs born into the Buub clan typically have a taupish-green skin tone that becomes faded with age in the sun. They have broad shoulders from the laboring job of farming and often large jaws to eat plenty of food.

Clothing

Clothing for the Buub clan is fairly practical, considering most of the days they need to me dressed light so that they do not get too hot in the fields. They wear a combination of Leather with bone accessories. They will always be seen with some patch of pig skin on their body symbolizing their respect for Uzg’Buub.

Hair

Orcs of this clan will generally have a darkish brown hair color. It is common for members to shave their hair into a mohawk like cut.

Way of Life

Farming the Lands

In order to feed the clan and those around them out of respect of Uzg’Buub. The Buub clan have taken up the primary role of farming for whatever nation they serve it. While they can choose other occupations and also fight, a majority of Buubs believe that this is a honorable position.

Raising Livestock

In addition to farming they also raise livestock such as Cows, Mooshrooms, Sheep, and especially Pigs. Raising animals for both work and slaughter is how members of this clan can become closer to Uzg’Buub.

Worshiping Uzg’Buub

Part of being in this clan means the worship of the giant pig that the Buub clan believes has the entire world on its back, Uzg’Buub. Members of this clan may choose to focus their life on the persuit of enlightenment through Uzg’Buub.

A Vision of Uzg’Buub

On the 15th of The Deep Cold, 1733. Zug’Dom had traveled far into the Savanah wasteland outside of the Mokh-Uruk Federation. He had finally got his hands on some mighty fine cactus green and had set the day aside to smoke all of it. As he smoked that fine green a sudden burst of light appeared infront of him. He covered face and tried to peek at the source of this illumination. Before him he saw the face of a great pig spirit. It began to speak to him.

“Zug’Dom, mi haz cum to blah tu lat mi bub’hozh mezzage. Mi be Uzg’Buub an lat zhall be mi mezzenger.”

Zug’Dom could not believe his eyes, believing that he may have took in too much of that good cactus green. The great pig pig, who referred to itself as the “World Pig” continued to tell Zug’Dom its story. It spoke that the world that he knew lied upon the back of the great pig spirit and that all orks should strive to feed Uzg’Buub through battle, rituals, and the growth of the Nation. As the orks grow, so shall Uzg’Buub and together they will be strong.

Uzg’Buub instructed Zug’Dom to find a pig, bring it to the highest mountain in the realm of orks and sacrifice it to Uzg’Buub. Zug’Dom must then consume the pig, leaving no waste and adorn the skin of the pig to attain true spiritual enlightenment.

Zug’Dom did as the spirit asked, traveling to a tall peak and slaughtering a pig. He consumed it and adorned its skin as a shash. Zug’Dom became enlightened.

The following morning, he woke up, head pounding from the cactus green of the previous day and looked down and saw the pig skin on his body. He had not dreamed this, he truly believed he was visited by a great pig spirit known as Uzg’Buub. From this day forth he vowed to spread the message of Uzg’Buub to all bruddas and formed Clan Buub.

*Wilfred slowly hobbles down to the streets of Ves, he had just finished a long day of deep scrubbing King Adrian I’s bedroom. He approaches the central square and out of the corner of his eye he notices something. He quickly approaches the garden surrounding the chess board and is quickly filled with horror for what he sees.*

*He hobbles over to the the scene of the crime to get a better look.... its worse than he thought*

*SOMEONE TRAMPLED THE ROSE BUSHES, Wilfred quickly enters a panic, he first considers what kind of degenerate or heretic that would commit such an action. Has Oren lost all control? Is civility dead and the sons of Horen living in a world of anarchy? He calms down, for Wilfred knows his duties. He travels to the Cloud Temple on Donkeyback and finds the finest rose bush in the area. He carefully gathers it and returns back to Ves.*

*After replanting a new and beautiful rose bush he begins writing a letter to the citizens of Kaedrin.*

“People of Kaedrin, Citizens of Ves,

In these times of unrest, when worries of Orcs and the status of the Empire are on our mind, we cannot fall to ruin. We cannot forget the teaching of our faith and the common decency of man. I ask of you, to act with civility, treat eachother with kindness, act through faith, and most of all KEEP OFF THE DAMN ROSES.”

HIS IMPERIAL BUTLERY, Wilfred  of House Proudfoot, Third of his Name, Royal Butler of King Adrian I of the Kingdom of Kaedrin, Grandson of High Imperial Butler Sir Wilfred Proudfoot II, descendant of Saint Wilfred,

heir to Dunwood and an Avid Gardening Enthusiast.

*On a quiet morning in the Golden City of Ves, in hobbles an old little halfling. For having just came from the road his uniform is spotless. As he enters the city, he rests for a moment, leaning on his cane. He has come here to fulfil his family’s lifelong duties: To serve as a butler for the ruling classes of the realm. *

The Origins of House Proudfoot and the Lineage of Orenian Butlers

The Proudfoot’s can be traced back to the founding families of Dunwood in the realm of Aegis. Back then Halflings knew very little of the world living a quiet and peaceful life. Wilfred Proundfoot, first of his name was known his large appetite and generous donations of food to the poor, as long as he could eat with them. He traveled Aegis and saw, and ate, many things on his travels. During his life he befriended Daniel Horen who was still but a young man. He developed a great friendship with the House of Horen and pledged his loyalty to the family in perpetuity. Later in life during the writings of Everard I Hightower he is referred to as Saint Wilfred, The God’s Stomach. This jest was most likely spawned from Wilfred’s friendship with Saint Daniel, and his grand appetite.

Saint Wilfred Proudfoot I

~ Historians Dispute what Century he lived ~

Is believed to be the first to put to use Bread and Wine in religious ceremonies

             As a descendent of the Saint Wilfred Proudfoot, Thomas Proudfoot was no stranger to humans, later in his life he found himself living in the city of Al’khazar which was quite uncommon for Halflings at the time. He employed himself as a cook in the kitchens of the Keep. His position however did not last, as the Phoenix Revolution had begun and in a ransack of the keep, he was injured and later died from those injuries. His family fled and eventually settled in Renatus in Asulon.

Thomas Proudfoot

~ 1200-1341 ~

Served King Enor Sheffield, was killed during the Phoenix Revolution

Thomas Proudfoot had a son, whom at the start was always interested in the duties of the castle that Thomas had. His name was Wilfred, second of his name. Wilfred grew up in the Kingdom of Renatus. When Godfrey of house Horen became King, Wilfred was appointed a butler of the castle. As the Kingdom of Renatus became the Holy Oren Empire and Godfrey went from King to Emporer, he remained close friends with Wilfred. Even at one point granting Wilfred the title of Knight after Wilfred won a joust against a young Hightower knight. As Godfrey had grown accustomed to various wild titles Wilfred had soon accumulated titles such as Grand Chancellor of Butlery, Grand High Royal Imperial Butler, and various other spins on the name. Although he was proud of his title he was even more proud of the work he had done and the loyalty he had for the family. He later went on to serve Prince Richard Horen III and King James Hightower II and their families. Having lived to the age of 155, it is written that Wilfred died peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by his children.

Sir Wilfred Reginald Thomas Proudfoot II

~ 1260-1415 ~

Grand High Royal Imperial Butler, Knight of the Holy Orenian Empire

Served Emperor Godfrey I, Prince Richard Horen III, and King James Hightower II

            Horace Proudfoot, grandson of Wilfred II, denied the family trade of butlery having seen the chaos that the Human Kingdoms continued to fall through. He served as a sailor most of his life and toward the end of his life when his legs did not serve him, he worked as a tailor for the peasant folk. He settled in Brandy brook for the rest of his days.

Horace Proudfoot

~ 1510-1655 ~

Served as a sailor and traveling Tailor

            Since his Father, Horace Proudfoot had refused the family occupation. Wilfred III did not have childhood education in the art of Butlery. Now in Present time, Wilfred Proudfoot has spent nearly 100 years studying the arts of Butlery, from the Orenian style, to the Renatian School of Butlerly developed by his great grandfather. Wilfred the Third refused to serve as a butler until he was sure that he was ready. Now he prepares to enter his first service under the King Adrian I of Kaedrin.

Wilfred Horace Proudfoot III

 ~ 1634 – Present ~

Butler to King Adrian I of Kaedrik

*Wilfred Horace Proudfoot III hobbles up the step toward the Castle in Ves. He stands in the shoes of his ancestors, ready to continue the legacy. *

Are you a Citizen of Alras?: Yes, if that does not require you own a home.

What is your in-game donator Rank?: I do not believe my real life financial status should affect how you judge this application so I shall leave this unanswered.

Why are you fit for this job?: I, Ozi Mendez was a simple prophet of the Personality Cult of Saint Everard but I decided to invest my time in coin. Using my economic skills I was able to acquire prime real estate near the center of Alras. While being the economic genius that I am I made a deal with a local merchant which ended up with me acquiring a cauldron for nothing less than my own toe. I didn't even have to spend a coin. When walking down the streets of Alras with my strong merchant/economical thinking I picked up a sack of coins. Using my expert money spending techniques I was able to turn my life around from a smelly economic genius to a well dressed good smelling economic genius.

      ->   

See what I have done with my beautiful body, and no I did not spend all of it, I even left the sac for future use. With my economic knowledge of using, acquiring and trading wealth there is no reason why I should not be Grand Merchant of Alras, I promise I will... as you say... make it rain.

Aislin is good person but his posture in his chair could hurt his back and affect his activity. I suggest that once he fixes his posture his back problems should decrease exponentially and then he will become best FM
