Not that I'm against it but changes that may have a large impact on the server should be discussed outside of administration and not be pushed on to people.

Is it really a swastika though? You just might be making swastika's out of leaves like an inkblot test, in which case you might be subconsciously a nazi.

*Posters and letters are placed throughout the Kingdom of Oren as well spread throughout the cloud temple.* *The red hound of House Briarwood is stamped on the fine piece of parchment* Let it be known. As of late, recent murmurs of a powerful enchantment has been on the lips of every man, woman, and child. There have been a multitude of discussions based around how said enchantment came to be, and whether or not it is a hoax cooked up in a mischievous enchanter’s basement, which in all honesty appears to be a more reasonable story. While no answer will be provided concerning the origins of said mystical rune, this missive has been penned to alert the masses that, the rumors are true. Those who work in service of House Briarwood have indeed unearthed the method of producing mystical armor. As to how a man of considerable wealth might gain such a piece of work, this missive serves as a means of acquiring the enchantment. For the price of one thousand five hundred minas, a book bound with the rune’s power may be purchased. For the price of one thousand and nine hundred minas, a prodigal crafted helm imbued with the rune’s power may be purchased. For the price of one thousand nine hundred and thirty minas, a prodigal crafted chestplate also imbued with the rune’s power may be purchased. For the price of one thousand nine hundred and twenty minas, a prodigal crafted set of leggings may be purchased, containing the same runic power. For the price of one thousand eight hundred and ninety minas, a prodigal crafted set of armored boots can also be purchased. For an order of an entire suit of armor, of course also imbued with said mystical enchantments, the price comes to a total of five thousand minas. In addition, holding the tradition of merchants dear, all prices can be arranged to be negotiated through a letter to Griffith Briarwood. (Lynxy) OOC Note:

Griffith Briarwood rests in a chair tuning his lute in the back of a tavern, hearing the news he would place the lute down with his things struck by a sense of curiosity. He would make his way to the front of Felsen's gate, carefully reading over the letter. Though not part of the order he finds the temptation of a holy crusade too much to walk away, grabbing his sword he would make way to find the old elfin knight he spoke to the day before who had been around for the previous crusade. A faint smile painted across his features, finally finding something to test his steel on other then humanity.

You were disconnected by Hosper, while I was the first at the scene. You knew they were a dark arts user and moved to not rid them rather flirt and try to engage in a relationship with them, the one that alerted us only did so after hearing about you doing similar things before. Your job as a war-cleric is to purge those that use evil magics, not to nurse them back to good.

Cadoc Briarwood would tap his chin in thought reading over paper "Seems about right" he would say to himself his thought drifting off to when he first saw the Raevir woman

The only issue with that is if a cleric does something wrong and no one is around when they did said thing who would inform the clerics they did this? An example being Jakir, who was only caught doing something he shouldn't have because a gm happened to be around there at the time. Managing disconnections is tricky business as no one wants to be caught doing something wrong. As well, those disobeying something told to them by an Itharel is almost the same as doing something against the patron(Other then telling them to do something against the patrons beliefs obviously). This being because they are meant to be Tahariae's will in the world and most trusted. I'm not saying that everyone wouldn't tell if they had done something wrong but going off past experience there are those that would not say anything. I do agree with the fact that swearing a lot and the rest are not valid reasoning's for disconnections and looked down upon, though at the same time those matters should be dealt with in rp and stay in rp.

"Because their ability to influence the world directly is so weak, Aengudaemons work by proxy: they act through followers. They build cults or orders of followers with which to further their goals and thwart the goals of their enemies. While in truth they are not innately good or evil, daemons are seen as evil by the Descendant Races and thus have a tendency to align themselves with isolationists, outcasts, "evil" groups or any other group that is separate from or shunned by most of mortal civilisation as they are. Likewise, while generally trusted and viewed as innately good by most of civilisation, there are aenguls that coldly focus on achieving their goals at any cost. One of the most potent powers of any aengudaemon is form a magical connection to their followers, allowing them followers, to draw on its magical power. This grants the followers magical powers akin to an arcane mage which are not hampered by the impermenant nature of arcane magic. However, drawing on too much power too soon can overwhelm, physically harm or even kill a user of aengudaemonic magic. Thus, like an arcane mage, an aengudaemonic mage must learn to control their magic before growing more powerful. Forging the initial connection usually requires the help of the aengudaemon or more commonly powerful mages of the order or cult, and thus to gain an aengudaemon’s magic one must share the motives and goals of the aengudaemon and their followers. When manifest, an aengudaemon is akin to a powerful mage in magical power, even though it can only use a fraction of its true power and whenever it does it risks temporarily binding itself to the physical world. When unmanifested, an aengudaemon can channel its power through several followers, resulting in several powerful mages and no risk of harm to the aengudaemon itself. Aengudaemons work via proxy because it is both far more effective, far more efficient, and because the risk to the aengudaemon itself is practically none. Because of this, the colder and less empathic aengudaemons may view the world as little more than a game: the death of a pawn is a setback, not a tragedy. Once an aengudaemon has allowed a mortal mage to draw on their power, they can no longer stop them from doing so. If one of their followers goes renegade and continues to use the aengudaemon’s magic, the aengudaemon will send their loyal followers to hunt them down and use severing magics (usually known only to the highest mages of the order or cult) to cut the rogue off from the aengudaemon. The only other way to sever the connection is to remove the aengudaemon from the world, as was the case with Aeriel and Iblees at the end of the Undead War." This was pulled from the Aengudaemon lore, and such is the reason why disconnection is a spell. Though I may be wrong about this still being a thing, and if so my bad on being wrong.

The lone elf wandered the forest, clutching a small scroll in one hand the other resting on the hilt of Patrons wrath. The map drawn within the scroll was trivial to follow, and if he read it right it would take him many a night to finally reach the cave the Itharel Ivanus told him of. It was there he was to be gifted the most honorable position a servant of Tahariae could grant be granted, the right to shed their mortal coil and truly become one with their patron. The thought of this excited him, he longed for nothing more but to serve his father. To be a sword guided at those who wish to corrupt this world, and that is what he was. He would continue his way through the forest his thoughts wandering trailing off in random directions has he tried to cure his boredom, though it did not do much to brighten up his travels. He would stop every now and then checking the map to make sure he was traveling in the right direction. Days past as he wandered this new land in search for the end point, it was then he spotted it. The opening of the cave that was drawn on the map Ivanus gave him. He traveled up to the cavern's mouth only to be met by the Itharel. With seldom words he led the elf down the tunnels of the ancient place, the cave opening to a beautiful oasis of sorts. Streams and meadows littered the area before him, the elf taken back by the beauty of such a place. It was then in the center he noticed the platform and the four crystals, each a light shade of gold. The Itharel would motion for him to follow, leading him up the path toward the platform. The elf would follow suit, still taking in the exotic nature of the holy site. Once they came to a halt the Itharel would turn to him, wishing him luck before setting off. It was then a wisp of light would make it’s way from the depths of the cavern, coming to a stop in front of elf. A voice would radiate from within it, almost mesmerizing in nature “Do not fear, for I am what you seek to be. Today you decide your tomorrows, you shall gain what you seek….walk I tell you. Come into the light and break the bonds that have held you captive. Destroy the fear and hate that has plagued you as mortals. Allow mental limits to be a thing of your past.” It was then the elf would attempt to move forward, his mind setting into a state of panic as he was unable to do so. He would stop the struggle as he would hear the wisp begin to speak once more, dipping his head in a bow toward the holy being. “The journey shall not be an easy one. These bonds have held you for your entire existence, to break them is to change your very being. Join me on this this side of those barriers and see your path. Become more than a mortal caught in the crosswinds of gods, and bind your life to my light” It was then the elf would find he was able to walk again, almost seduced by the light coming off the crystal in front him. The crystal breaking open as the he stepped into it’s warm embrace. The crystal itself hardening and trapping the elf inside, like a cocoon would a caterpillar before turning into something greater. A week has passed within this shell, Ivanus watching over the cavern as the elf laid in hibernation before it finally opened once more. The sound of plate echoing within as the elf made way toward the entrance and Ivanus. The Itheral would stand, offering the drained elf a smile “Welcome my brother, you are his champion now.” And so Ellhen was born “Wisdom”

I think someone is playing Russia already, just posting this to avoid confusions

Brazil Sitting in his office, Dictator Alexandre Navarro receives the good news of both Bolivia and Paraguays complete surrender though the smile on his face quickly fading when informed of the public outcry over his new laws and the possible revolt. He presses the intercom button the desk calling in both his trusted advisors and generals. Once they made their way inside Alexandre would shake each of their hands giving them praise for the job well done over the attack on the two countries. Taking a seat back in his chair the others would follow, Alexandre would cross his arms and let out a heavy sigh “Now, with that over it is time to move on to the new tasks at hand, I would like my Advisors to set up a public speaking. As well I require a police of sorts set up within the military, find any speakers of revolution and bringing them to light.” With that he would stand, once again moving toward the war table. There he would point toward Colombia and Venezuela “With our battles at Bolivia and Paraguay a complete success we move onward though this time toward Colombia and Venezuela, the drug trafficking coming in from Colombia will prove detrimental toward our fight against crime.” he would then take a deep breath “In the coming days we will move 500,000 men into Colombian borders aided by 3 attack helicopters, 300 towed artillery, 200 tanks, and 40 MLRs.” he would once again take a pause in breath “Once Colombia is under our control we will move the remaining troops into Venezuela, We as well will station our Carrier in the waters outside their border accompanied by 5 submarines and 2 corvettes keeping them and our air force on call for both operations. Like before we will give both options for a peaceful surrender, let us hope they can see reason. ” With that out of the way he would dismiss both his advisors and generals out of the room after discussing a few more minor things with them, taking a seat and preparing his speech for the public. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next day Alexandre would begin his ride for his upcoming speech, his Advisors giving him advice and small talk as the armored transport made it’s way down the roads of Brasilia accompanied by a military escort. Once they reached their destination, a stadium set up outside the Three Powers Square, Alexandre would make it his way toward the centre surrounded by guards. He would take a nervous breath before composing himself, leaning in to speak into the microphone before the millions of attendees. “I know, times have been hard for you all but Brazil has seen harder times. I ask you not to look at what is now but to look forward to the future. I seek to inspire the inner patriot in you, for you to see a better and stronger Brazil. A Brazil that will unite all of South America and turn ourselves into a powerhouse, to do this I need the public with me. I know that is a hard thing to ask of you all with the new laws on drugs and the drafting but I tell you this is a necessary evil. While the drugs provide an escape from everyday life it only leads to self destruction in the end, and because of such it is better to rid ourselves of these narcotics. If we are to grow strong as a country we need to do away with things unnecessary such as cocaine and meth. Though to prove I am no monster after such an outcry, after this speech cannabis will no longer be considered a drug and because of such will be marketable within our country with the aid of a license distributed by the government.” with that he would take a breath a look of concern taking over his features as he opens his mouth to speak once more “Though with this speech comes dire news, late last night both Bolivian and Paraguayan forces attacked us at our border. Whether or not this is due to our recent ban of drugs is unknown but it is believed to be the cause. Do not worry though, for with the recent rise of our stronger military we were able to drive the forces off and commence a counter-attack leading to complete surrender of both countries. I ask you to live with the draft, it was only because of this we were able to respond in a quick time and push back the invading force.” with that he would take another breath “With this out of the way let us speak of the future, a future of a better Brazil and a better South America. With both countries surrendering our borders have been expanded for the first time and with this comes more land. More land we can use to build factories and businesses. As well with the hopeful economic rise we will gain from this I wish to expand our education, in the coming months I plan to instate free college and schooling, with only a small rise in our taxes. Because of this I wish to see our country bloom into a place of high learning. With that I bid you all a farewell, may we be victorious in our endeavors.” Alexandre Navarro would step off the podium and re-enter the armored transport, beginning to make his way back toward his mansion. With a few calls the censored media would begin to paint both Bolivia and Paraguay as the aggressors in the over night invasion.

Brazil With the collapse of the Chinese government in 2018 Brazil lost one of its main trade partners, leading to a small steady decline in its economy. This coupled with the taking over of the military once again did not leave its citizens in the state of happiness. After the take over the now dictator, Alexandre Navarro, made major changes to the laws with the back of the military and police force going as follows: Drugs in brazil remain completely outlawed, though now the use and distribution of narcotics is punishable by death. A draft was implemented, forcing anyone that is physically able to serve in the Brazilian military for a minimum of two years, and those unfit for service help in other ways be it in warehouses and etc. The military reserve was abolished, forcing those in it to join the active military. ¼ of graduating doctors must join the military to supply them with better medical aid in the field. With the rise of leader Alexandre Navarro, a large scale war on drugs would be started by the Brazilian military. Anti-drug propaganda would be strewn around the country demonizing the use and distribution of drugs. Though his hate for drugs was not the only reason for these, the posters as well depicting their surrounding countries as crack fiends and cocaine addicts, stating that this is where most of our drugs are coming from. The dictator Alexandre Navarro and the Brazilian military would as well begin censoring the television and radio, banning anything that depicts the use of drugs unless being used as anti-drug propaganda as well as censoring anything to do with the military besides recruitment commercials. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With the dying down of the military parade Dictator Alexandre Navarro would get into his armed transport, heading back to his mansion for a meeting with his generals and advisors. Heading inside he would make way for the meeting room, armed guards saluting him as he moves down the hallway. Stepping into the room both the advisors and generals would stand, giving their leader a salut. With a wave of his hand they would all take a seat once more before Alexandre himself would take a seat. “Now men, let us get to business. First things first, with the influx of soldiers I require a compound built outside of Brasília to train a newly formed Brazilian special forces trained in gorilla and jungle warfare. Their main use for now will be the seizure of drug growers out in the country. As well I require more airplane and shipbuilding factories be made, this will supply our civilians with more jobs and as well give us access to more naval and air power” He would then take a short breath, turning toward his advisors “I as well wish to send one of you to Singapore as to set up a trade agreement, and another to India for the same.” with that he waves the Advisors out, and motions for the generals to follow him toward a different table. The armed guards would shut the doors once the advisors left, both Alexandre and his generals now stand before a map of South America. “Now, with our expanding forces I wish to expand both our borders and war on drugs to both here and here” he would point toward Bolivia and Paraguay “With that, I need at least 200,000 be prepared to march on Bolivia and 200,000 to do the same for Paraguay. Supporting each will be 100 tanks, 4 attack helicopters, 100 towed artillery, and 300 armored fighting vehicles.So in total I need 400,000 men 200 tanks, 8 attack helicopters, 200 towed artillery, and 600 armored fighting vehicles on their way toward there as well keep the air force on standby..” With that he would dismiss the generals, heading back toward his chair a hand running down his stressed features before pressing an intercom button calling in the advisors once more “With that out of the way, I need a letter sent out to both Bolivia and Paraguay asking for their surrender after our first attack tomorrow.” he would then shew them out once more, preparing to write a speech toward the public for the days to come. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brazilian military strength: Manpower- 2,127,000 327,000 from active 1,800,000 moved up to active from reserves Land systems- Tanks: 486 AFVs: 1,707 SPGs: 112 Towed artillery: 563 MLRs: 180 Air power- Total aircraft: 749 Fighters/interceptors: 92 Fixed wing: 123 Transport: 382 Trainer: 179 Helicopters: 260 Attack helicopters: 12 Naval power- Total naval strength: 113 Aircraft carriers: 1 Frigates: 10 Corvettes: 5 Coastal defense crafts: 35 Mine warfare: 6

That's because learning from tomes more often then not leads to bad magic roleplayers. Without guidance and someone telling you yes and no to what you can and can't do leads to heavy power-gaming and confusion more often then not. As well, blood magic has been one of the best magics I've seen used, though if you were not around for the two or three events they did in the last map you wouldn't be expected to know. The magic itself is meant to be rare and used for events more often then not, leading to interesting and unique encounters better then the run of the mill "Nya! I'm evil and spooky and I'm going to kill you".

Moot, you were one of the best admins no lie. While I held some distaste at times with how you handled things but you took your job more serious then the rest. You event went to lengths to deal with things, even if your friends got in trouble. This is a thing not all admins will do, mainly the ones that have removed you from this position. I find it sad they even go to the lengths of shutting down their ts server because people were talking of how displeased you are. You truly are the admin of the people and I wish you luck even if this does end up badly for you
