A letter is posted beneath. "Might I request that you use stone brick in future instead of simple cobblestone? I do not mean to cause offence, but I worry about the structural integrity of such buildings. As well as the fact as they're not really aesthetically pleasing. An increase in quality of appearance in your village shall draw in more people. Just some friendly advise. -C "

Farren would like to note that he hasn't, and in fact the whole problems with the anvils originally started when the father of the current King sold a golem anvil to another race. Meanwhile... Farren and Tarren continue to adventure, far away from the Kingdom. It seemed that most of the Elder Generation of Starbreakers had left the Kingdom now, it is down to the younger generation. And so the question remains, what shall become of the Starbreakers?

Farren frowns for a moment, before commenting. ((Written normally)) "I would suggest adding another category called Legacy of the Ironborn. Clans with members who're known descendants of the Ironborn would receive negative prestige. Considering their legacy, and destruction the Ironborn has caused. I would say this would be on par of not greater than the penalties impose on those who've mated with another race. "

In regards to Golemancy: It's not really Dwarven anymore. High Elves know it and I'm sure some others will in the future. I would argue against golemancy for every dwarf since when it's discussed it's normally accompanied with the topic of "Let's make a golem army and burn down the High Elves." Golem have personality, and provide what I would argue is interesting roleplay. I would say Stone Sentinals, is what dwarves could create with other magic such as geomancy, which would be essentially golems without personality if you wanted NPC's. The problem with NPC golems is you take away the unique roleplay that golems provide. In regards to golemancers being a small group. Yes we're, the problem being is you need to be responsible in OOC not just the Rp. As I mentioned many good candidates, we can't actually teach due to them wanting to make a golem army and ruining rp for others. High Standards are needed, therefore the number is unfortunately small. Because a dad golemancer will create bad golems ruining the experiance for other players. Runesmithing Dormin who was in charge perma-killed after losing his hands to Omithiel. I took over from there, and after getting the lore we had found out it had been rewritten to that it can from a group of Dwarves in Asulon, who the Doomforge had succeeded. Which didn't make any sense since Runesmithing was in Aegis. Hence why that was scraped. I admit my draft was bad, hence why it's being redone. Link to my terrible system here. I'll post the link to Thrym's system which we use if requested. Current Dwarves who know Runesmithing learned from Myself, Tortek or Thrym. Us three learned from fictional characters, golems from Kal'Karik and a variety of books obtained from runes. Two of whom, most notably Tortek or Thrym were from the "Arbrek Generation". So yes it was weird, but it was done to continue to magic. It's currently a locked subtype so if people wish to learn, by all means join the Dwarven Smithing Guild. In regards to jumping through a lot of hoops, not really. It's more about earning trust, unfortunately a lot of dwarves have expressed a desire to powergame with the magic. Hence why there ain't many of us around. Again apologies for the quick/crude replies. If any further information is needed just PM me over the forums, or I'll reply on this thread when I return from my activities.

Just a quick note, this is a really quick reply. So it's subject to editing. Any confusion, just post I reply I'll reply to that when I get back later. The quick answer? Dwarves can do magic. We had a discussion with the LM's awhile ago, the short answer was dwarves can do answer. In regards to us claiming we have a magic buff that's due to the blessing. The reason Ironguts are special snowflakes is because they have Aengul blood. So basicly what this means in short is Dwarves, can do magic but dwarves like to rp they have a slight resistant in return for longer learning times. By the way the trade off is normally when the dwarf learns magic he loses his resistant. Or most of it so it basicly becomes obselite. Golemancy You need to learn how to do this from a Golemancer. Golemacy was invented by the dwarves, but that does not mean we own it or in any shape or form posses the exclusive rights to it in OOC. For more question about it I would ask Lagomorphia the inventor of the lore. For golemancy you need knowledge to create it and magic to enchant the golem and core. So typically runesmithing and enchanting is used. But I hear rumours of an arcane one being made. In regards to the anvil let me stop you right there. The anvil was a binding, meaning you couldn't do golemancy even if you knew it without the anvil. Some short bulletpoint on what happens. Anvil of Suffering the original golem anvil was made by the Scribberfolk (Karik Dwarves Remembrancers). This anvil bound it so even with the knowledge you had to use a golem anvil to create the golem. High Elf - Dwarf genocide war starts over the anvils that was given to them in a form of an event. High Elves gain access to make infinite anvils due to golem core. In what I must say was a very shady series of events by both sides. After a lengthy argument between myself, lagomorphia and zezimus at 2am in the morning. The anvils are linked together and destroyed. Basicly getting rid of all the anvils in existance. Removing the curse/binding. So that those with the knowledge of golemancy can make golems now without needing certain tools. Just a note golem anvils are no longer in existance and can't be created. Only two characters know, zezimus and possible mine (farren). But I don't want to since a) I have to perma and b) I need LM permission. Runesmithing This is Dwarven only, you learn this through the smithing guild at the moment. Currently being re-written. Any question about it feel free to ask myself. So in short: You need to learn golemancy from a golemancer still. Dwarves have a slight resistant - Meaning we're not immune to all magic or thanhic ore. It simple means magic is harder to learn, we can work with thanhic ore easily due to this and we have a slight resistant. Runesmithing - Want to learn? Join the Smithing guild. Or the future guild if the new lore gets accepted after I hand out the second draft. Magic? Dwarves can learn it, if you have question in regards to magic I would ask Supremacy. To me he seems to be the one who knows most about it. Ironguts have a higher natural aptitude for magic due to that Aengul Blood.

Problem is, that normally it isn't so clear cut. There are many grey areas, such as actions of individuals or a small group within a nation. The nation could deny responsibility for that group, for example a group of bandits. But the other nation doesn't have to accept this, because it's down to perspective. Eventually leading to the old arguments of : "But X did this! And Y did that!" Another problem is bans, why do we even bother threatening people with them anymore? They mean absolutely nothing these days. Since people can easily just get an alternate account or simply wait the short period that normally is a ban. So it anything seems more like a reward, a week break rather than a punishment. It would be more effective to take more in game solutions, such as restricting access to plugins or turning them into wandering souls. But again these issues might be for another thread. For now how about the duration of the raids being 1-1 1/2 hours long? I mean to be honest, it's not like the citizens have to be in the city during the raid. The map is huge, there is always some place to roplelaying in it. In regards to time, how about also once every 3 days? A week sounds long, I mean I agree we need rules for when nations can't agree to make their own. But a week waiting, doesn't make people realise they're at war and war is a bad thing. Not fun wise, but morally. The whole forced warclaim thing, nah... I don't say this because I belong to X, Y or Z. Forced warclaims always make people rage, causing more drama than is needed. Nation leaders need to sit down and agree on things before going to war, if they can't handle that then they don't deserve to be able to go to war. Sounds harsh, I admit. But if you can't handle going into a single battle without being at each others throats. Doesn't that show you're not mature enough to handle such a simple mechanic?

Character name: Tarren Starbreaker Gender: Male Race: Dwarf - Cavern Dwarf. Colors?: Yes please. Gimmie your skin! Attach your skin (or a picture of it) here: http://i.imgur.com/9v1g2i2.png http://i.imgur.com/heve5Pz.png What should they be doing? Any details not obvious on the skin? Pets, weapons, or other items go here too: Working the forge or crafting a golem. Although if that's too much work I don't mind if you just make him standing or something. By crafting a golem I mean chiselling at a lump of rock to create the golems frame. Did you pay me? Say so here when I'm done with your art(leave this empty for now): Payed 100 minas, meh :P http://i.imgur.com/QxoMVio.png If regards to three pictures, can there be three variations for this character?

Tarren begins to bother Midgor about how they should hold it in Cloud Temple. Without guards or people who like to just be loud. Only the nation representative and one other individual.

Farren compares the two document in front of him, one from the dwarven printing press and the warrant from this new device. Having sat for a few minutes pondering he comes to a conclusion. "Has to be the Dwarven printing press, I can at least read the writing without squinting. At any rate, by what authority does this person has to put up a warrant? Last I heard, the nations of the Bloc are still at war with the Empire and it's allies. Considering that, I highly doubt it was created on behalf of the state. Shouldn't he put a bounty up instead? With the dwarven printing press mind you, I would like to read without squinting..." Having finished his short rant, the dwarf continues with the activities of his day to day life.

Agreed, hold it on Friday or during the weekend sometime. It's not on to have an event on that's for the nation at such a time, especially during exam season. Some people would have to stay up longer than us in the UK that are in the GMT bundle. Not to mention people are making out rp consequences for lack of attendance by certain groups. The coronation doesn't need to be so long, we can hold two events if needed.

7pm EST translates to 12 at night for us in the UK. This is still during exam season and a weekday, I find this completely unacceptable as a GMT player, due to the time and length of the event you're planning. Even if it wasn't exam season it would be unacceptable due to how late it is. Can you move it back a few hours please?

Tarren scowls at Ellsia and Dwain, as he mutters to Dared. "This is for science! How can they be so conceited and to think that only runesmithing and golemancy on it's own is enough? It is important to think of the possibilities we can do with our abilities, rather than focus alone on the prestige that comes from our abilities. ((Updating post now, I'm currently writing the first major event up which will be "Test Subject Alpha". Please look forwards to it! Any questions you may have, feel free to message me or nalatac.
