EDIT: This trade is completed a small post on the trading board would say: I have 18 cakes. I'm selling them as a bundle. Send a letter by bird to Suika L'Siol and we can meet at Cloud Temple.

I'm not sure exactly who to contact about this, so I decided to post here. My IC character is preparing an event! I want the Event Team to help. Essentially what we want is a Science Exhibition in our city Haelun'or. The whole server is invited! I thought it would be cool to introduce conflict into the scene. (which is where you come in). As a server-wide IC event, all scientists and inventors, chemists, and scientists are invited. There would be main attractions such as the Dwarven steam-boat, Lucion's electricity, ice-rinks, and so on. However, during the third presentation an underground organization known as the Si'caru(the actors) will whisk away all the scientists and put them into prison cells. There, they will force the scientists to work on a giant (insert invention here, it would require lore approval, see possible inventions below). This concerns all the nations, because the project is unstable, and if it's allowed to continue, it could threaten the existence of nations! Possible malevolent unstable inventions: a giant machine that would accidentally call down sky-rocks('meteors') on all the nations, threatening the very existence of Vailor! (I like this one the most because it could unite the server to stop them. a generator that may explode a shade attractor that attracts ALL the shades and causes black mist to swell throughout the city. a GIANT bomb!!! a flying boat that doesn't work and crashes into the tower So what do you say? I hope to hear back with a date when we can do this!

Application OOC: IG Name Suika Forum Name Suika How long have you been apart of LotC? Since August of 2011 Why do you want to become a Monk? I wish to become a monk because probably the the biggest reason I stay on this server is to help others. Without helping others, there's not much reason for me to play. In all of the online games that I play, I usually pick the support character because when others are happy, I'm happy. IC: What is your name? Suika How old are you? About 379 What race are you? High Elf Why do you wish to become a Monk? My city was just destroyed and now I can't give out cakes anymore. I wish to become a monk so that I can stay at the cloud temple and help souls that have either just entered the world for the first time, or souls that have recently shattered and have been put back together. I wish to help these souls as I understand that being a wandering soul can be difficult and I want to help as much I can. Do you believe you have the traits to be a good Monk? I do believe that I have good traits for being a monk. Before my city was destroyed, I gathered the materials to bake cakes often and I would hand them out to others for free. I liked how it brightened their day and made the world a little bit warmer and gave their soul a small rest. These rests are very important and giving things away like cake for free out of altruism is just one way I like to help others around me.

Well, this goes in the signature.

Lutauman Clarification by Havel (Suiko) Being the only accepted Lutauman on the server, and upon hearing the different ideas about what a Lutauman actually was, I have decided to clarify, for the sake of lore, who a Lutauman is, what a Lutauman does, and how a Lutauman does it. Definitions: Ancestral Spirit: A dead person; a spirit that has severed connection with it’s mortal body and transcended to the ancestral plane. Ancestral Plane: A place wherein ancestral spirits reside. Not to be confused with the Immortal Spirit plane which is a completely different place for a different type of spirit. Lutauman: A person who is able to contact ancestral spirits (dead people). Blessing: A spirit may bestow a blessing upon a Lutauman. The most common blessing is that of strength, which allows a Lutauman to be temporarily stronger than normal. Blessings can bestow strength, agility, dexterity, etcetera. What does a Lutauman do? A Lutauman can contact ancestral spirits (dead people) How does a Lutauman do that? A Lutauman can contact ancestral spirits by doing ritualistic and/or traditional practices and movements such as burning incense, cactus green, or other plants and objects. The reason for burning is that it helps disconnect the Lutauman’s mind from the world around him and allows him to easier propel his mind into the ancestral plan. The use of objects that were familiar to the ancestral spirit before it was an ancestral spirit can be helpful. Some Lutauman find that going to the place of the mortal death of the spirit, or to the body’s grave can also assist. It varies for each spirit. The Lutauman expends mana to project his mind unto the ancestral plane. If the Lutauman is bound by rope or any other type of restricting binding, he will not be able to expend this mana. Great focus on releasing one’s conscious from the mortal plane is necessary. What might a Lutauman find in the ancestral plane? The ancestral plane is not a plane in which one is either inside of completely, or not in at all. It is rather a plane that one propels his consciousness deeper and deeper, while still maintaining somewhat of a connection to the mortal plane. However, the consciousness is bound to the mortal plane, so staying in the ancestral plane for excessive periods of time is difficult and thus requires excessive levels of mana to be expended. At lower levels of Lutaumanship, a novice might not even be aware that his or her mind had transcended into the ancestral plane, but he or she may be aware, if a spirit was contacted, of extra and foreign information received. The Lutauman might also notice that mana was used. The Lutauman may be able to contact spirits while in the ancestral plane, but only if the spirit chooses to be contacted. The spirits are a fickle bunch. They may not choose to be contacted at first, but then be contacted later; they may also choose to be contacted at first but then not be contacted later. The clarity of information received from a spirit is on a spectrum. The more recent a spirit transcended into the ancestral plane (if its body died recently), the easier and more clear the information a spirit may choose to divulge is. If the spirit’s body died a long time ago, it may be increasingly difficult to contact the spirit, and may take more amounts of mana to propel the Lutauman’s mind deeper into the ancestral plane to find it. Furthermore, due to being so deep in the ancestral plane, messages may be foggier, sound muffled, and be, in general, esoteric and hard to understand. The spirit may no longer communicate in ways that are understandable. Blessings: A Lutauman may ask a spirit for a blessing in times of combat. Novice Lutauman generally have little to no chance of receiving a blessing, unless the spirit greatly desires such blessing to occur and the novice has a good sized mana pool to spend. Blessings bestowed upon the Lutauman have, in the past, aided Lutauman in combat, but such blessings only last for a limited amount of time. A Lutauman may choose to keep his blessing for as long as his mana will permit. Upon his blessing ending, he is as weak as any other, perhaps weaker due to his mana drainage and toll on his mind. While a spirit is being contacted and mana is being expended, the air around the Lutauman may slightly deaden and chill. Depending on the spirit being contacted, the air may even take on a strange taste. As a blessing is bestowed, the Lutauman may faintly show, for example, a red aura, signifying the bestowal of strength. As the blessing is received, the air may heat up if the blessing is of strength. History: According to what is known, the Orcs claim this magic to be a part of Orc Shamanism. The Orcish ancestral spirits have thus defended this tradition by notifying Orc Lutauman of the existence of non-orc Lutauman so that the non-orc Lutauman could be either accepted into Orc society or destroyed, more commonly destroyed than accepted. Lutauman that were not above novice level, however, were usually left undetected/considered not important enough to seek out. OOC Suggestions: It is proposed that, OOCly, all Lutauman record a description of what they find in an OOC book so that all Lutauman are on the same page as to what they found in the ancestral plane...

I'm not sure it's possible to credit every single picture on the internet. I like the thought though, you're absolutely right that we should credit what we can.

May I ask what rules apply to a Gerund? I want to say "Healing" so I would use the root word Waleh (to heal) and then some form of "ing"?

In-game name :Suiko (DustyHat) The position you wish to take :Shopkeeper or Assassin Why you want to join our company :I've been looking for a job for a while so that I would have enough money to buy a stall and sell things but it's been hard to get that initial money just to get started, I'm interested in the shopkeeper deal your company does, the company also seems like it could help me with getting the hang of the economy. How much do you devote yourself to our cause :I can devote myself plenty of hours a day (I was on for about 7 hours today) and will be happy to work with your company. For shopkeepers, will you be able to supply yourself? It depends which resource. I can go out logging and collect sugar, I can make bookshelves, (cake if I had the three buckets to collect milk). I can collect stone/dirt as well. I can also collect feathers. I do hope you consider me, best regards Suiko
