Honestly the best thing you can do as a new player is to kill mobs. While working as a guard may be more fun, I guarantee you will make more money killing mobs in an hour than you will guarding for a week. As an added bonus, as you kill mobs, you can be training in either wrestling, axe mastery, or swordsmanahip. Once you have enough Mina, I suggest that you buy some decent armor and a weapon. Once your combat skill is high enough, I suggested joining a merecenary group, because they usually pay better than joining an army. I hope my advice helps you get your start in Aegis, good luck!

God damnit Vaq, I just love you too much for words. (No homo) You are the reason that this server is so great. I just want to say thank you for everything you do.

As much as I think diplomacy is a good idea, I think that it just won't work this time. Its time fer us teh show the Orcs whose boss and put them back in there place!

Fellow Dwarves, I am fed up! Recently, I was makin' meh way down King Road, when out of nowhere a group of Orcs starts pushin' me around and harassin' meh. I would 'ave taken meh axe to there heads if there wern't so damn many of them. They said I was on Orc lands, but I was on King's Road, which I thought no one owned. But, gettin' back teh meh point. I'm done with these Orcs going around thinkin' they are better then us. I remember a time when the Orcs knew their place and stayed there. I say we need to ruff 'em up a bit and remind them that we Dwarves are better then the dirty greenskins! That's why I say we go teh war my brothers! To war!

You have my axe :)

Very good idea +1

((Added the first part of my story. Will finish it later this weekend))

((Did you guys add me to the list of participants?))

I, Dain Farhammer would like to enter this tournament. I shall win it in the name of me clan! Mc Name: XxPhogxX Rp Name: Dain Farhammer Race: Dwarf

((Ok sorry I haven't started yet, but I plan to do it this weekend. I had a lot os school stuff to do))

Sarcasm is hard to detect over the text, so I can't tell if you are trying to tell a joke or not, but I have no ambition to become King.

((Since I've been gone for so long, I am creating a new character. As long as no one has any arguments against me doing this, I would love to post a back story for him here. If a FM wants to move it, that's fine with me too.)) Dain Farhammer Long ago, when Aegis was still young, there was a Dwarf named Karn Farhammer. Karn was a simple Dwarf. He worked in the deep mines of Aegis, trying to make his fortune in diamonds and other gems. Everyday he would delve deeper and deeper into the earth, searching for these elusive items. But, this was a boring life, so one day Karn decided he was through with this trivial digging. And so, Karn gathered up all his belongings, his rusty old pick, the clothes on his back, and his high-fathers sword and set out to have the adventure of a lifetime. Karn’s journey was a long one. He spent years exploring the wilderness and wilds of Aegis. Whilst on his journey, Karn established himself amongst the Dwarf community as an exceptional spelunker. No cave was too dark or too deep for Karn to venture into. But, one day he had had enough adventuring and decided to settle down. So, he settled in the newly founded city of Kal’Urguan. Karn got married and spent the rest of his life in the comfort of his new home. Many years later, when Karn was very old, he had a grandson. His son Dorin’s wife had given birth to a beautiful young Dwarf, Dain. As soon as Karn laid his eyes on Dain, he knew that this young Dwarf would grow up to be something special. Dain had that same glint of adventure in his eye as Karn did. Dain grew up in the bustling Dwarf metropolis of Kal’Urguan. When he wasn’t learning the ins and outs of spelunking from his grandfather, Dain spent his times in the abandoned mines scattered about the city. Dain would spend endless days in the mines, searching for any gems or jewels that the long gone miners may have forgotten. Dain’s life was perfect. But then, it came time for Dain to leave his home city and venture forth into the world to prove himself a true Dwarf! Karn instructed Dain to head north and to continue traveling north until the snow was falling so quick that you couldn’t see even a foot in front of your face. And so, with his pick in one hand, a mug of ale in the other, and his high-father’s sword on his back, Dain set out to prove himself. In the Farhammer clan there is a tradition unlike any other in all of Aegis. At the age of 50, every Farhammer must prove themselves. To prove oneself means you must go for 1 year to a place where no Farhammer has gone before and settle the area. For Dain this place is far in the north, a quite inhospitable place. Also, upon your return to the clan, you must bring an artifact of your time of proving showing that you have proven yourself a be a true Farhammer. Dain spent many days traveling northward. He saw many great sites including the mighty capital of Oren and the vast deserts of the war nation of Krugmar. But eventually, after many days of travel, Dain had decided that he had found a suitable place to prove himself at. The location he chose was a small cave in the side of a mountain. It was extremely cold and Dain was thankful to have his goblin skin boots on to keep him warm. The snow seemed to never stop falling and all the ground was covered in a thick blanket of snow. For the next couple of weeks, Dain spent his time fortifying his new cave home. He dug farther into the mountain, carving out a bedroom and a mining shaft for him to work from. He also created a small wall around the entrance to his cave to help keep any ‘undesirables’ out. For many days, life was boring for Dain. Endlessly digging, hoping to break into a cavern did not suit Dain. But then, after months of digging, Dain finally found what he was looking for. Through a small slit in the rocks in his mining shaft, Dain could hear running water. This meant that there was a cavern right on the other side of the rock. So, Dain, with his sword in his left hand and a torch in his right broke through the flimsy rock separating him from the cavern. A rush of cavern air hit Dain at full force almost knocking him off his feet. Dain took his first slow steps into the cavern. Almost immediately, Dain felt something wasn’t right. He heard the scuffling of someone or something’s feet on the cavern floor. Dain raised his torch and his eyes filled with horror. 10 cave goblins were slinking toward Dain. Dain dropped his torch and raised his blade. As the goblins advanced, Dain made a silent prayer to his ancestors to allow him to survive this battle. The goblins were now in a dead sprint towards Dain. The first goblin to reach Dain was hewn in two by his blade. Two more goblins tried to leap onto him, but Dain rolled out of harms way. When he got up, Dain saw that he was surrounded. 9 goblins encircled him. The goblins then began trying to attack him one by one, with each attack being forced back by Dain. Eventually it was down to only 5 goblins and Dain. Dain then charged the remaining goblins, and to his surprise they sprinted away from him. Dain, thinking he was the victor, then slid his blade back into its scabbard and picked up his torch. The smell of death lay heavy in the air and Dain wanted to leave the cavern. But then he heard a noise that made the hair of his beard stand up straight. A loud roar filled the cavern. Dain turned around to see the 5 goblins coming back toward him, but this time, they had a troll.

Personally I love Dwarf Fortress and would like to see at least parts of Dwarvern culture modeled after it.

((Thanks everyone for replying! I know this may be out of my jurisdiction, but as the old Lord Marshall I was wondering if there was any job that I could do in the government. I was thinking of something to do with the Verge, but if anyone had other ideas that would be great too.))

((I used to be Lord Marshall Phog, then I played a character named Thorin, but I will most likely be starting a new character))

Hail! Dwarves of the great city of Kal Urguan I have returned! After many weeks away mining in the bowels of Aegis I have returned. I am excited to see how our great kingdom 'as fared since my leaving. Any dwarf willing to fill me in on what I 'ave missed will be forever in my gratitude. ((After taking a break at the beginning of the school year, I have returned to Aegis! Im sure not too many of you guys remember me, but I'm back baby!)) *Edit* ((Also, could someone tell me what version of MC the server is currently running?))

We are still recruitin' so if ye be interested, post!

Alrighty, it seems that yer great grandfather was a Snowbeard. He fought many a battle alongside our ancestors and slayed many orcs. I shall add ye teh the list of clan members.

Mayhaps ye should re-read the lore of our clan and farther familiarize yourself with our history. ((I would like to see a little more effort put into the application, also make sure you read all of the post above)) As fer where ye can find us, currently we wander around Aegis, searching fer a place to establish a fortress and collecting resources. If ye would like teh talk to us, then please post a note on this message board.

*Activities and Events* None at the moment

Alright, I will. Dear Kal'Urguan and King Belin, I am sorry fer any disruption or ruckus I ave caused. I understand that I took meh idea of free speech too far sometimes. I do not wish death upon anyone. I 'ope that ye all will forgive meh, and welcome me back to meh home. -Thorin Snowbeard

Im so appy! Algrim, I 'ope that ye will let meh back into teh city! Belin, though I disagreed with a lot of what ye did, I would also like teh congratulate ye on bein' a truly wonderful king!

((I dont really care that I cant go to my house, its just I thought the whole "counting down" thing with the king not telling me what was going to happen was a little annoying))

((Was jailed today for goin to my house in Kal'Urguan. While in jail I refused to go to the execution chamber. King randomly started to count down from 5. At 1 he killed me with his sword. He never told me he was going to attack. IMO some bad rp, but whatever, Im banished so it doesn't matter))
