Farren lets out a long sigh, wiping a small tear from his eye as he hears of Mogrim departure. With a loud roar, he growls at his clansmen to leave the hall, letting him sit there alone. Deep in sorrow, his hands gripping firmly on the hammer of Ardol. "An so leaves anof'er piller of Dwarven Might... It seems t'at tu Bloodline of Valen Grandaxe is destined fer greatness tu an extent. But who knows? Wif tu departure ov Morgrim will tu rest ov his kin step up, tu reclaim tu gloreh t'at was lost wif his death? Morgrim even though he was ah dirteh mountain dwarf, was ah friend. Ah true dwarf, an one who would always a've yer back in a fight. Goodbye Morgrim, even though we argued ah lot, yer were ah true Dwedmar. Yer may rest now, we will continue yer work. Dungrim must beh happeh tu aquire such ah skilled dwarf. May Dungrims hall grant yer ever bliss! An may yer will pass on tu yer kinsmen, who shall pick up tu torch. Leading our kind tu newfound greatness." ((Seeya Zezimoose. It's been great Rp'ing with you. To be fair, you were one of the cornestones of Dwarven Roleplay. So this blow is truly a heavy one, that will be felt for many months to come. I hope whatever lays ahead of you will provide you fun and joy. You're contributed so much, so good luck! Thanks for all the hard work, I'll be sure to pester you on skype for help! Haha! Good luck you english piece of '...'! LotC has lost one of it's greatest and friendliest players. Also #Meh, late reply :P ))

It seems you don't understand the difference between runesmithing and enchanting. They're quite different, but you can get similar effects if you do it in a certain way. Down to the players creativity. So for the most part this is enchanting, since runesmithing isn't just limited to the same things enchanting is. Even though they're very similar.. Also there's barely any runesmithing (Soon tm), so this basicly mainly applies to enchanters. If Runesmithing was the same as enchanting there would be no point having it... But I've digressed. At any rate, it'll be interesting to see how this goes. I have to agree with the point Lark stated you need to limit it to a degree, with anyone making these weapons. It devalues smithing rp and magical rp. Since anyone and everyone can just simply make one, without having to go to someone proficient in those sections. So I would suggest maybe doing as Heero stated giving out some recipes to people who're recognised as proficient enchanters and runesmiths. Continuing off my previous points, this does devalue to some degree event items. Since magical items are now easily obtainable to everyone. Which in turn kinda killing profession rp. Not to mention makes events less rewarding. I agree though, get it in then develop from it. Also any ways to limit the enchanting? So we don't get master OP weapons, which was the reason they get removed in the first place. So in short I kinda agree with the concept, not so much with the method.

Up to you really. If you want some estimate I would look at the Ageing system on Skippy's thread Dwarves and compare it to real life age for marrying. To be fair though, most of the Dwarven population is from a pint too many, accompanied by a trip to a brothel. But yeah... Just use common sense, a beardling wouldn't be married. Neither would an teenage dwarf. Sure maybe an arranged marriage, but not formally married yet. Edit : Credits to Skippy's Guide http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/56452-dwarves/ 100 + In accordance to that guide. Any younger and the dwarf would be considered a child

Just gonna touch up a bit on the Druid point. Agreed Elves should respect Nature, but Druids? I would say it's more of a extremist form of elven ideology. Having been a Druid during Asulon where we retook Elandriel, one thing I've noticed is that druids are selfish. And are so god damn self entitled. Like honestly, you should listen to me because I'm a Druid. All Elves should be druids! I don't blame the Elves for not adopting druidism. I wouldn't say Druids are the Elven Religion, but rather part of it. We don't offer that much these days, and are very much to ourselves. Let the Elves form a religion with Druidism as a part, although more of an extremist branch of it. They don't need the Druids breathing down their necks, making their demands because they're their religion. Druids do offer good things, but we've never really acted well as the Elven religion. And I think it's about time we actually realised our own folly instead of blaming the elven population completely. But being a tad controversial I agree the Elves need to respect nature and have an understanding of druids to a degree. Maybe disagreeing depending on how their personal character is. #EveryonesEdgyinsomeway. ((It's 3am so I'll write another post to clarify my views on this matter tomorrow. I'm tired so it may have been worded incorrectly, so it's subject to change. At any rate G'night)) ps. I'm still a Druid. #Druid4ever

"Tu First Anthosian Guild? Ah suppose so, since tu Dwarven One 'as ah eritage originatin from Aegis! Ar! Ar! Well ah suppose it'll be nice tu ave some rivarleh.. But t'ey'll never beh able tu truleh compete wif ah true smif. Aye, t'at ov tu Dwedmar!" ((Woop! Some rivalry! I'm interested to see how this goes, good luck to you! ))

Interstin..... Su wut shall weh du? Let t'is nation comparable tu ah babeh grow so t'at t'ey may eventualleh prove a challenge? Or kill it so t'at it may nae stand up tu oppose us. Added nations always upset tu balance, at any rate only time will tell. But as weh all know Historeh repeats itself, an Alras can nae escape it's fate if it chooses tu same path as it did in tu past.

Make a new island or... We could use multiworlds. Give it a go if it sounds fun, sure the actual story/lore doesn't really mesh, but edit it so it fits into LoTC a tad more. Which shouldn't be that difficult considering LoTR is one of the many influences upon this server. My only qualm is how few people can go to this event. Let all those who want to go participate. Adapting the event to the number, for example you can split up players with collapses in the tunnels. Forcing one party into an rp fight, the other in a mix of pvp/pve fight. With this in mind you might want to consider making an event plan. In regards to the actual lore, just tweak it slightly.

Can't we just kill the monks and demand racial spawns?

Sure you can collect more detailed information. But with less people filling it in, it'll not be as representative of the community's views. Thereby getting rid of the point of the survey. Especially one that's meant to be a "community feedback survey." That shows the whole community's views, not a small portion. Not that many people fill them in anyway online + real life. It's more about striking a balance between quantity and quality.

In regards to Sparoe's survey, I would say less open ended questions. It takes a long time to fill in, and most likely less will fill it in because it'll take time. So although you get less data, on you get more people. I would say the format used by Lego's one is ideal, with open ended questions for the most part optional. Even though there are some that are required. I don't really want feel overwhelmed with those large boxes. Edit: Please also add an "indifferent" option for those of us who don't really care either way. Or "other" if their answer doesn't really fit into the category's given.

You see a large scroll hammered onto the notice board outside Kal'Ithrin "My fellow smiths, In regards to my recent inactivity, I apologise. I shall address this now, with re-inventing this guild along with myself. We shall restructure and re-organise. For too long have I kept the arts of Runesmithing and Golemancy to myself. I shall include them into the training for Chosen Smiths of the Guild officially from now on. As well as teaching the more experimental forms of smithing officially, along with the implementation of group activities. For too long we have idle, now is the time to make the people of Anthos remember who're Yemekars chosen. May Yemekar guide your hammers, Farren Starbreaker" ((I'm going to make a new post, and purge of all members. If you still want to be a member send me a pm or just post on the new thread going "Hey I'm still part of it". There's no need for the app, if you're already a member. Even though the apps auto accept! As I mentioned in the rp post, the guild will be reorganised to include more events, not to mention runesmithing. I might try to get some enchanters who're smiths to join for the non dwarves as well. Which I'm unfortunately going to have to delay posting for a few days, due to deadline assignments. So the new post + other cool stuff will be in a weeks time after that hectic stuff. Happy roleplay to you all! -Dave.))

Your Name: Farren Starbreaker Your vote: Onar Stormhammer

Farren proceeds to get absolutely hammered in the tavern of Kal'Ithrin after being easily knocked down. And having to be carried from the field. "Bah... hic! Ah ahm' u greatest warrios since... Diugsihgdum! Hur! Hur! Hur! But ah 'ear tu battle is nae over... BURP! It nae matters... HELGA! Get meh anofer drink, ah need tu forget t'is embarrasment... Bloomin age. If nae fer t['at ah would ave .... ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" ((Guys Hakuna Matata. Although I hear the battles not over. Either way have fun.))

It's totally up to the players discretion on how he does the accent.

Farren lets out a long sigh as he glances towards the gathered crowd. His face contorting into a frown as he approaches the crowd, waiting for his turn. With one hand gripping firmly on his coin purse, the other tapping impatiently upon his armour .Muttering his question silently over and over to himself as he waits. "W'ut will become ov meh people? More importantleh ov me clan in tu future?"

Drop the Braveheart/Scottish/Wanabee irish thingy. Be more like the Starks of GoT and Aduniie of LoTR. Make the language more unique, please drop the google translate... Celtic influences are fine, but don't let that take it all over. I mean the google translate makes the Adunians a joke to those who can understand irish. As well as making them seem less unique. But those are small qualms, to be honest as much in rp as I would want the Adunians to stay with the Dwarves. The best courses of action would be for the Adunians to either a) Live in Oren as many have suggested. I think some have already started doing this. b) Live as nomads, a wandering tribe who wander around the lands. Mainly the elven forest. Sort of a human hunter gatherers descending from a collapsed civilization. A human version of the Dalish from Dragon age. But not to be rude, I would re-evaluate the Adunia lore and what you've guys done right and wrong. Less Braveheart, and more fantasy aspects. The issue is the image people have of the Adunians at the moment, work on fixing it then think about making a Kingdom maybe.
