About time.

This is good.

Technically, it's not quite meta-gaming --just a general post from Safen saying "Syrio's Vault is a competitive gem to be robbed by thieves." If you don't like that answer, well then "Ooops."

Safen stands atop his hill, holding his son Solaris, he chuckles hearing of the call to arms to raid Syrio's Vault. Shaking his head he yawned a sarcastic breath rolling his eyes at the news. Deep down inside he knew that the Alrasian Order wouldn't fail in defending the city. Let alone something as valuable as Syrio's Vault, which in all honesty was the life-blood of Alras. Though it simply begged the question as he looked into his son's red eyes. "I have a feeling that raiding Syrio's Vault is going to be a competition, for Asulon."

I call trololololo.

Safen looks up at the bulletin board, and immediately frowns his jaw drops as he shakes his head; then begins the short walk up the hill to his cabin. His eyes parted as he muttered a few words in disbelief, "It's hard to take a mad-man at his word that our world could truly be flat, I hope people will find a way to see the world from the stars vantage one day. In hopes that one day we may know the true definitions of Asulon."

Someone went through the trouble of writing a note the same way and leaving it on all of the bulletin boards in all the cities. THE WORLD IS FLAT I TELL YOU, YOU CANNOT SILENCE THE TRUTH! I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE WORLD IS FLAT AND THIS IS MY WAY OF SPREADING THE WORD THAT THE WORLD IS FLAT! THOSE WHO BELIEVE THE WORLD IS FLAT WILL SNUFF THOSE OUT WHO BELIEVE IT TO BE ROUND. THE WORLD IS FLAT AND IT SHALL ALWAYS BE FLAT, WE ARE AT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, MAY THE HERETICS BURN FOR SUGGESTING OTHERWISE, HA HA HA HA!

no post, is no-post

As for what Gaia is, the story is still being written mostly in real time. Major developments to the Gaia Genesis Saga will be made publicly on the forums. As for the original storyline, pertaining to the Lore, see this thread for reference.) http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/47117-gaia-genesis-saga/

(Thank you.)

While trying to understand the enigmatic power of Gaia, Safen ventured to Haelon'or, to their benevolent Silver City. At first their walls had proven quite an obstacle as their gates remained locked tight from outsiders. Thankfully after using all his physical momentum to push himself upon a high wall. Safen had managed to find himself inside the Silver City, immediately Safen set to meditating upon Gaia's Power in order to hide better. Casting a shell of invisibility upon himself to hide the fact that Safen walked very quietly. Much to his surprise the High Elves themselves were hard to find, in itself that was a benefit. Their library was un-guarded which made it so much easier to find what these mysterious Elves knew of magical power. Although there were many similarities to the culture of the High Elves, and to that of the Ascended, and Enlightened. They were devoutly conservative in nature from much of what he had read in their tomes of culture, they did not wish the outside influence of others. Seeing themselves as separate but not equal to the other races of Asulon. Thankfully Safen was quite use to conservative types, due in part to his past experiences to the Ascended. But there was so much more to it then simply reading a book of them and knowing the person. But at least for the most part he had an idea. When day came, he had his first chance to observe and note the High Elves firsthand. Some had gathered below discussing the kidnapping of one of their own. After reading through their dictionary of words and phrases Safen was noted the respectful tones they regarded one another with. However with at least one human who was there, conversing with them below. It seemed they regarded him with an eye of speculation, and reservation. It begged the question if the High Elves trusted him to be quite honest, even though he was not of their race. Listening further to them, Safen dared walk closer to gain a better understanding of them from his perspective. In a small regard he wished that he could meet them under better circumstances, then the guise of deception. However the words from outsiders who had ventured to meet the High Elves was met with shunning or outright exile from their city. Still, they weren't bad people as all the races of Asulon held certain attributes to their personalities. However the High Elves themselves seemed to favor a penchant for logic and conservative thinking that would rival that of the Ascended. For now, so as long as his food supply remained intact, Safen would remain there to observe and understand the culture of the High Elves. Perhaps to understand them better and find out their deeper understandings of Magic. To see if it leads him to a deeper understanding of the mysterious power of Gaia.

Uku Hosh stood at the gathering his eyes thinned, as his maw moved into a snarl rage he looked at this white-wash Uruk and bent his shoulders back laughing. Even though he spent much time away from Krug, an Uruk never forgot to speak Blah. Even if it was toward a white-wash Uruk. "Hur hur hur hur, nub. Lat been wit da shara tu long, lat donno Uruk uzgs. Lat blah like skah'n glob, Lat nub tinks Uruks bubhosh, but Uruks be bubhosh HHH yearz, dhey be bubhosh HHH moar. Da shara, en twiggies, an dwarfies donno dat Uruks own da world. Mebe lat go tell dhem dat in shara, dhey will tink lat glob, but den lat no be flat by bubhosh Uruks here."

-The scenario never happened-

In as much as it's rude to be complacent about someone else re-hashing someone else's work. I am justified in my right to feel anger.

The fact that I got a warning for stating my belief and giving my well worded. Reasons for leaving this concept closed, is because I have respect for the stories that have come and gone. For any of you to attack me for having the sentimentality of leaving these concepts closed. Shows me that you have no respect for anything that has already been finished. Either person who wrote the concepts should not have their work re-hashed by anyone, even if they're the best writer in the world. I spoke directly from my heart and I will stand by my choice, I could have been a lot worse as seeing this made me seethe. That is all I am going to say, I have no justification or excuse for what I said. I said it because it came from the experience that I had in writing with it. You shame me for attacking my disgusts of this.

Edited response.

You disgusts me. The reason for this is, you dare to dig up the past when the stories that other people poured their enjoyment into. Would then become an obsession of yours, there is honor in remembering those who portrayed such things. Those things deserve a well earned rest, the stories that were made were the greatest stories I have seen in years. It was in those times of the subject matter that I found joy in the server. To take that which has already been laid to rest is dishonorable. For one, it was ultimately agreed upon by the original writers of the lore that Aeriel withdrew her blessing and left. However you are not the only one who catches my scorn on this, as there are other Aenguls and Daemons left from ancient times. Since one has already been used does it make it right to jump to the conclusion that hey there are still other Aenguls and Daemons left, let's use them. Do you honestly think that just because you're using different individuals of the same race it's okay? Sure it's not the same thing so it's free to be used, as long as we say it's something else. There is so much more in the world the world of literature that can become great. Aegis went through the Aengul and Daemon phase, there is a lot of love, and emotion that was poured into it while it lasted. But at some point it became more of a hassle because of mistakes made in the past. No one wants a repeat of that, because we've been there done that. Using the same variations of the same theme does not necessarily make it original by definition. Do you know how cruel it is to take something that began with great reception. Ran its course into something that drove people to great works, and wonderful stories. Only to see it end on a note that we all wish had ended better, only to see it be picked up and dusted off, rotated to a different dial and played?
