*Mikael accepts the letter from the Sarients almost gleefully, though trying his best not to show it. Opening it up, he scours the contents, before pulling out a crude piece of shaped charcoal and neatly filling out the application* Name (MC and RP): Mikael EisenAugen ((patthebakr)) Race: Human Desired Position (If any): Matters on what positions are available, preferably something involving engineering. Preferred Weapon (If any): Sword Non-Combat Skills (If any): Decent farmer, somewhat good with mechanical works, can work iron at a forge, Previous Work (Past groups or jobs): Study under several farmers, interested in engineering and mechanics. Your most valued trait from list below: Honor Loyalty Strength Intelligence Chivalry Justice Have you interacted with the Order before? Explain if yes: I "lived in Hanseti for a few years as a child, sometimes I'd see the Sarients doing their daily tasks. Have you visited Hanseti before? Explain if yes: Few years back a man had brought me to Hanseti from Solace, during one of the riots. Name of Garret, he tutored me in several aspects of farming when I was young, gave me the money for a temporary passport as well. I stayed for a few years before setting out to make my own life. Are you willing to take an oath?: Of course I'm willing. One doesn't simply join an order without following traditions. Moral boundaries (What you will not do): Killing of the defenseless ((this is somewhat... "flexible")), thievery of the poor, Deception of the people ((again, flexible)). Doesn't really count as a moral boundary, but I HATE politics. Do you have a VA?: ((might get one, depends on future character development.)) Additional information: After leaving Hanseti, I made a few minas here and there doing odd jobs in Ascella before heading to the wilds. I stayed in the wilds most of my life, and had quite a bit of free time on my hands. I gained some experience with weapons fending for my house, but defeating monsters is different than defeating people. I tinkered with stop watches, compasses, and several other small, gear powered gadgets a lot, though I wish for a formal education in such things. One thing Garret did give to me before I left was a small sack of books. I guess those served as my entertainment. I fended for myself a lot, mostly through farming and repairs. Only recently have I returned to the mainland, though I will be off again, due to the plague. From what I can see, the lands could do with a little more "cleansing" * After finishing, Mikael reseals the letter, along with a map with co-ordinates of a rather random area out in the wilds ((for RP reasons for re-contact. Don't actually have co-ords)). He heads to the gates of the Maw, of which he remembers from long ago.*

What your wiki name will be (case sensitive): Patthebakr (same as forum name) Why are you trustworthy?: I have been enjoying LotC since last July. Although I'm not too well known, I have a great time on the server. The wiki has been a useful, albeit sometimes incomplete and incorrect, source for me to use. I would like to extend my hand to those newcomers, as I know their confusion/frustration in asking everyone around about recent and ancient events. While I may not be part of any group: application, villain app, forum moderator, or even VIP, I like to think I am still trustworthy. As for my entire experience on this server, I have never gotten a strike or ban report, so that must count for something.

((Don't want to burst your bubble, but the college has been dead for months. RHcrow doesn't have time to get on anymore))

* As his curiosity grew, Garret decided to examine the note left on his doorstep, reading the letter withholding his emotions until thy burst out, as always.* "I don't know what to tink anymore. Whenever I'd visit ot'er nations, tey all seemed quite straightforward in tere actions against Salvus, but after te death o' Dawn, te clean-up o' te Ordinators, what else does Salvus possibly threaten us wit? Nether, tat recent riot was just a show of who was really on te immoral side. Te rebels used te stand fer sometin, sometin more tan violence and "revolution". Now tey're no worse tan te Ordinators. I expect tere te be some wit honor still among 'em, but after ye burn down an inn and force a military force into tey're compound, what do ye expect b'sides death? Te Ordinators 'ad every right te defend 'emselves, and I'm sure Lorethos would agree wit me. Gods, tey even spared tose witout armor and weapons! Te rebels 'ave gotten outta control, tey want war, not justice. If ye jest want death to tose in power, what makes ye different tan a simple bandit, lookin fer te next kill? Gods, tere be no rest fer te wicked, no where, no how."

* Yet another note is pinned to the ever growing notice board, this one seems to be more full than the others, though. * As many have noticed, friends, family, and neighbors have disappeared from Hanseti or have fallen the years after the war with Renatus. We encourage you to share the ones you have lost below, to fully complete the mourning they rightfully deserve. Viadar Horus Malen Bawapy Elividia Kain Luna Bergethor Syblix *there are many more bullets on the list, urging people to post those they have lost*

((I also urge you to check out the other two rather violent and malicious war claims. It seems that there may have been a miscommunication on Seventis' part, which isn't an insult. It happens to the best of us =) http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/50470-the-forced-famine/ http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/50467-the-eviction-notice/))

((Exactly, it's just your war claims seem to state the opposite, that Seventis is grabbing as much land as it can.))

((I think it would be a better idea to state these war claims you're making as less of a hostile takeover. Not everybody knows these places are ghost towns, and some may see Seventis as a greedy, corrupt empire due to the bluntness of your reasoning. It seems a little ironic for you to go to war with Salvus for their greed and corruption, only to immediatley attack those around you for the land they claim? I get that it's imperialism, but is there no way to RP this as Seventis saving the towns from failing governments? Maybe I'm wrong, and you're making these seem violent for a reason, whatever it may be, this is just my two cents.)

I'd like to make a 5,000 mina bid on the disc.

A few friends and I have been working on a rather large ruin expedition, it's still in the works, and months away, but most of the things you state will be a part of the adventure, along with many other factors. There are also many, MANY ruins that are like what you state, just go out and look for them. They are around, they've all just been completed and looted.

* A long, but mostly blank, list is pinned on the notice board in Hanseti City. * The last few years we have seen many familiar faces leave the city. All that you need to do is write your name below. The census will help to find unoccupied houses, and will also help in new building affairs.

* a list of rules is pinned to the notice board outside the farms* General rules: Don't grow anything without a permit for said crop. Pricing is below.((We need this due to our farms being tax free.)) Don't, leave your plot unattended for long periods of time ((I.E. If you are gone for a few weeks, I'll think you either quit LOTC or found a new place to farm)). If you will be on leave for a while, tell me, so your plot is not put back up for sale. A sign outside your plot or a letter on the notice board ((forum pm)) will suffice. Don't enter the barn without permission ((this is willing to change if 1.3 fixes the buggy mob predictions, atm its impossible to keep a steady supply of animals in there)) All farmers who have paid off their plot will receive access to the farm shed. This is a sort of community pot, seeds and fertilizer will be added every once in a while. Give what you take and be reasonable in how you use it. If you wish for your crops to be harvested if they are ripe, tell the GroßSpilter so he can do so. A chest will be put in your plot where the harvested crops will go. If you want, a spot can be arranged for you in the granary. Crops put in their will be bought by the GroßSpilter at a lower than average price. This is a good place to make a quick mina, as selling in bulk is ought to be. ((Pricing is below)) List is actively expanded as new issues pop up. Pricing information: Our farms sell for 25 minas per wheat plant ((block)), plus charges for the materials used in making the plot (torches, fences, etc.). Plus you're getting the security that comes with property ownership in Hanseti. The rising amount of wheat in mortgages is due to advanced farmers knowing their way around, and getting more wheat from their plants. If you decide to mortgage, after three weeks it should be finished. Acres ((9x9)) are 2,500 minas mortgaging values for a single acre Gardener ((lvls 0-19 in farming)) Have to give 27 bales of wheat (1 small chest) to fulfill a single 9x9 plot mortgage. Novice Farmer ((lvls 20-49)) Have to give 40 bales of wheat (1 and 1/2 chests) to fulfill a single 9x9 plot mortgage. Skilled Farmer ((lvls 50-79 in farming)) Have to give 54 bales of wheat (1 large chest) to fulfill a single 9x9 plot mortgage. Expert Farmer ((lvls 80-100 in farming)) Have to give 108 bales of wheat (2 large chests) to fulfill a single 9x9 plot mortgage. Farmsteads ((9x22)) are for more prolific farmers, and an example is the Mauviette farmstead near the back of the farms. ((pricing and mortgaging TBA)) Plantations ((22x22)) are yet to be introduced, and may not be if there isn't a demand for them. ((pricing and mortgaging TBA)) Permits ((these are for having products besides wheat in your farm)): Wheat: Free Animal: 50 minas Melon/Pumpkin: 100 minas Reed: 250 minas Access to public farms: 250 minas Access to barn (only for those that have shown their aptitude and competence in farming): 250 minas Granary Sales ((I will send a screenshot with the transaction, prices may change due to inflation)) Wheat: 25 minas a bundle ((stack)) Melons: 70 minas a crate ((stack)) Pumpkins: Not buying at the moment Reeds: Not buying at the moment Pork (raw): 75 minas a crate ((stack)) Beef (raw): 100 minas a crate ((stack)) Fish (raw): 150 minas a net ((stack)) Chicken (raw): 120 minas a crate ((stack))

*Outside of the old Hansetian mine lays a small notice board* ATTENTION: DUE TO HAZARDOUS WORKING CONDITIONS THESE MINES HAVE BEEN CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC, FOR THOSE WITH PERMITS, SEEK OUT THE NEW MINES THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN TIMBERMAW. As for the materials in this mine, most have been relocated to a safer location in the Storehouse. If your goods seem to be missing, check there. We also need to deal with the mine itself. Some ideas I have come up with: Close it up for good, after all the chests and materials are removed. Block it off, but keep a small, protected doorway in the entrance to allow for an emergency bunker. Keep everything as is, just put a notice outside. Remove all valuables. Stone bricks, torches, for use in the new mine, block off to prevent demons from escaping. Keep it open as a private mine, for the further construction and renovation of the city. Just don't sell public permits to it anymore. I encourage others to present their own solutions for these mines, as some people still use them for gathering of resources. ((The dangers do exist, also. Due to the mine creating openings into assorted caverns, Monsters and lava flows have become a problem, the risk/gain meter doesn't seem to good anymore. Not to even mention how ridiculously depleted the entire thing is.))

((Topic closed, check the official farm rules))

Farming- Already addressed the animals and crops. Building Projects - I would be joyful to help with public projects. I hope I can be trusted with te permission to do such things (( As I need perms and have been in Hanseti for a good two months, and fought in several battles)). If supplies are also needed, our store has plenty of food and other things just sitting around. We have some of the cheapest prices in the human kingdoms. I am also more than willing to make donations, there just isn't a way for me to do so, as my mortgage box is full and I have no keys for any other. Expansion of the warehouse to accommodate the influx of resources - Self explanatory. We should probably expand vertically to keep space for housing. New Mine - I agree that the old mine is way to small ((perms go like 12 blocks out)). Timbermaw seems to be a prime destination for a new mine, being close but out of the way of regular travelers. Duties should be assigned to every Sariant to benefit the order. We are some of the most elite soldiers in Asulon, but that only goes as far as our supplies. If we work hard now, there will be less work later. - Not being a sarient, I can't really make a suggestion, but as I said before, I'm willing to donate. ~ Garret Herz

I sent this to Samuel a few months ago. The war effort must have taken all of his attention though. Jack was talking about opening a new mine in Timbermaw. I'll leave some more information later ((at school atm, don't wanna get caught)).

*A note has been tacked onto the Solace gates, in between some of the stone bricks* I am in shock. Utter and complete shock. Today showed me that Solace isn't the safe haven I thought it to be. An avalanche of problems, the guard force seemed to not be able to take care of one before the other started, It was chaos. Let me start from the beginning. First off, let me state I have nothing but respect for those men and women who put their lives on the line to help us, especially those in the under-appreciated profession of guardsmen. I walk into Solace to look for a friend of mine, and things seem to be going sour immediately. A dark elf in a hood is jumping around rooftops, resisting arrest, and assaulting pedestrians. I left the central square for most of the day, and returned after speaking with my friend. Apparently, the dark elf still had yet to be detained, and it was storming now. At about this time, the same dark elf the Peacekeepers were trying to capture had made his way INTO the gatehouse. Despite yells from a terrified man, being mercilessly beaten after having both gates closed around him, no-one tried to help. About a few minutes later, someone started yelling about a thief, It took the guards a good amount of time to get there ((by this time the elf in the gatehouse logged off or hidden)). Now it was a complete riot, hard to hear anyone's single sentence among the garble of noise created by the mob of people (non-guardsmen, including myself, were just sitting around chatting about gods know what). After the noise had died and the guardsmen had left, There was still not a single soul in the gatehouse. About this time the terrified and bloodied man who had been stuck in between the gates, got stuck yet again. The same dark elf was STILL in the gatehouse. After what seemed an eternity, a recruit, gods bless him, came and chased off the dark elf, trying to arrest him. Mind you, he seemed to be the only guard around at this time. We still had an empty gatehouse and a beat man laying in the dirt. You my think this is over, but the next part is insane, heck, its more than insane, If I hadn't scribbled down the dialogue during these past few hours I would not believe it myself. A rather important looking man came along, and with utmost urgency in his voice, screamed to be let into the town, that he needed help. He sat by the gates, banging on them for an hour it seemed. There were no guards in sight, none. Then a group of savages came running up, looked to be about 5 or 6 men, all different races, armed and armored to the brim. They killed the man banging on the gates, there was blood everywhere. The poor fool that had been beat up and left in between the gates was screaming in hysteria to be let out, as the savages ripped into the body. I'm pretty sure they even let the orc in the party EAT the dead man that had been hoping to reach a safe haven in Solace. It took a bloody long time till the guard recruit finally got back from chasing the dark elf, and by then it was too late. There was nothing left to save of the poor soul. The bandits, as I have no other words to describe them, finally left, and the man that had been locked in between the gates had been let out after a day of torture, both of mind and body. There is only one purpose for this letter. One question I had to ask the peacekeepers. How? How did a criminal get inside the gate house? How come a man had to scream his lungs out for three minutes until he got help? How were the gates unattended to for an entire day? How did a group of raiders kill a man standing RIGHT OUTSIDE the front gates of a supposedly safe haven? How were you so under-prepared, even when the worst possible scenarios that could happen, did happen? But most importantly, How can you prevent this from ever happening again? ~A concerned traveler P.S. I'd also like to point out I have no affiliations with the nation of Salvus. *a couple of pages of parchment are tucked in the cracks of the bricks, the seem to have a very nervous and sloppy writing on them*

So are we allowed to just come and watch how the siege weapons work? I don't really want to be in the battle, just see how it plays out.
