Karlio

The Scarlet Lotus, one afternoon...

He's still sitting at his table. Writing things down on his papers with his pencil, scratching his head occasionally. He hasn't said a word to anyone. His eyes haven't left the table. You ask the barmaid about him. She doesn't say much apart from that he is very polite. Goggles sit on top of his head and a scarf covers his lower face and neck. You notice three colourful vials of liquid resting in some straps on his leg. He must be an alchemist studying away at the tavern!

A few hours pass and you notice that the silent alchemist has gone but what's that? He has seemed to have left a few pieces of paper. You walk over and pick them up to inspect them. They look like they've been ripped out of an ancient book of some kind. There's words written in ink and words written in pencil.

Shall I try to find this man?

I wonder what these papers are about!

Has anyone else came across this man?

To start this RP story line please message TouchMyRichard in game or me on the forum. You will be sent the paper that you picked up as an image. 

Rules:

• Your character must have access to The Scarlet Lotus tavern.
• Only figure out puzzles which your character can.
• You may share papers you find with others at the tavern.
• Unless you've met the alchemist in-game, you do not know him.
• Have fun :)

If this breaks any rules please let me know. I hope people enjoy this sort of thing.

A hooded man walks around the cloud temple placing these posters around. Near each group of posters is a bird with one eye missing.

Attention all Slave Traders!

I am willing buy any slave from you for exactly 4,000 minas. No questions, no answers. If you have an offer give it to the one eyed bird.

TOWN CHARTER

This is also a request for a GM to change where our region is as the space is not very pleasing. We can demolish the building if you'd like.

MC Name: TouchMyRichard

RP Name: Artonius

Village Name: Redmagnet. The University will take up most of the villiage plot.

Why is your character starting this village/settlement? What is its purpose?

Being sick of all the war going on around him, Karlio decided to follow the rest of his family and take an intellectual look on life. For around the past 5 years Karlio has studied physics in Underholm. With only a few tables and a lot of paper Karlio managed to come up with a few theories himself, the most famous one being his Redmagnet theory. He thought to himself, "What if there are others like me? Wanting to study but haven't got the resources or help." So he came up with an idea. A University.

Karlio set out with some materials and a bunch of leaflets, handing them out to anyone who passes.

During the building of the University Karlio went missing, supposedly ill. He passed the deed to his friend Artonius and told him to pick up where he left of. When Artonius went to the university, it was horrible. It was next to a dock and surrounded by sand. "This is not right..." He pondered to himself, "The University should have a large open space so people can relax while they're not working." So he made this charter.

What type of political system or leadership is within the village?

The University will work like a school with Karlio as the head master and others following him but there is some difference. Because Karlio is a socialist he believes that everyone should have the same say as him so there will be a voting system that no-one can overrule, not even Karlio himself.

The University will be split up into a few sections and each will be looked after by a deputy head. The main sections are as follows:

• Science and Mathematics
  
• Engineering and Construction
  
• Magic and War Tactics
  
• Language and Literature
  

What sort of behavior will residents exhibit? (Race relations, nation relations, etc.)

Redmagnet University will be open to every race from every nation. Here, everyone is equal. If someone tries to declare war on the University, the residents will ask help from the other nations and call on their fellow students to defend their home.

Where would you prefer the town’s region be? Including a screenshot of the land would be nice (of game or map).

I would prefer the University to be a nice open space like a private school would be.

Any other details (architecture, races, culture, etc): To get in to Redmagnet University the students must have to be intelligent and/or wealthy. If they wish to learn from scratch then their family must help them with a small tuition fee. Housing at the University will be free for all students.

As you are wandering around Asulon a poster flies your way guided by the wind. You stop to pick it up.

Dear People of Asulon!

I am Artonius, a name you will soon hear many times, friend of the late Karlio of Redmagnet University. As some of you may know, Karlio went missing and since then the university has not undergone any building. I am here to pick up the pieces.

I am looking for skilled builders, miners and teachers to help build and spread the word of the new Redmagnet University. Unlike Karlio I will not go missing and leave the legacy to someone else.

Please send a bird to me at Redmagnet University just by the dock by the sanctuary.

Artonius

In game name is TouchMyRichard. Sorry for leaving it till now, I will never leave again. :)

Attention people of Asulon!

Redmagnet University is needed to be dug out so underground laboratories and a detention room can be built. I need experienced and hard working miners to gather the cobblestone and coal. All other ores you can keep yourself. I will supply you with stone pickaxes if needed. A small payment will be decided when you get here.

If you are interested in the job please contact me, Karlio, and I will send you a map via bird.

Many Thanks

Headmaster K. Nightfall of Redmagnet University

Rule One: Respect - Everyone must treat everyone else with respect weather they be a different race or not. In debates everyone has the same say as everyone else, even if they are staff. When there are parties everyone is invited!

Rule Two: Living Spaces - Before you have fully moved in you would have chosen which floor and room you will be in. At night you must be in your own room unless you have told staff otherwise.

Rule Three: Lessons - You must attend to all of your lessons! If you fail to do so without a good excuse you will get a strike. Three strikes and you will be kicked out of the university and will not be refunded.

Rule Four: Parties - We all like to lay back at some point so this university will allow parties but they must follow this rule. There is to be only one party per elven week and it must be allowed by a Deputy Head or the Head Master.

Rule Five: Violence - There is to be no violence on the premises! Any acts of violence will be treated as a three strike offence!

Rule Six: Visitors - If there are friends or family visiting you then you must tell a member of staff before they arrive. Visitors will only be allowed in the free dorms and the visitor's area. If a visitor is found anywhere else without permission the person they are with will get a strike.

I can't wait! :D

I'm sorry mate but have to withdraw my signature as I am starting a University. Maybe you could help out with that. :)

The main reason why I want this to be in The Wilds is because I want the University to be indipendant and not be under the rule of any nation. And BKStein even though Icarus will be moving to Hanseti soon his uncle Karlio, who is building the University, has a deep hatred for Hanseti.

Thank you everyone for signing this charter! I am still accepting signatures just incase we need to expand.

[[ We're just waiting for a GM to approve. We will start building as soon as possible. If anyone has supplies for the University, please contact me. ]]

For those who have known Karlio well enough, you would have known about what he stands for and how he goes about it. Karlio is a peaceful elf, trying to go day by day and preventing any voilence or destruction of any kind. The rest of Karlio's family share the same ideas and follow a path of knowledge and intellect rather then a sword and bow. Karlio specialises in physics and construction while his nephew Icarus specialises in mathematics and engineering. Because of Karlio's newest research about Redstone Magnets and potentially Floating Isles, he has been in contact with the other intellects in his family and he is hoping that they can found a new land and claim it as their own.

So if you guys haven't realised yet, I'm looking for some people to join the Nightfall family with me to help advance the Floating Isles idea. I would advise you to join this family if you prefer to play as a peacekeeper than a soldier. If you wish to join this family please fill out this small bio here:

Feel free to leave any other feedback and please check out the Floating Isles topic here.

9/10 Lol + You was the first person I met on teamspeak before I joined the server ^.^

The Idea

So I read the Sky Islands thread by Amfionas and thought that the whole spaceship-island idea didn't really flow with the LotC lore. I plan to make the Floating Isles more like the ones from Avatar and be natural than a man made structure.

I was thinking that there should be land in Asulon which got pushed up from the ground due to a high redstone magnetic field in the area. These lands can be inhabbited by all sorts of races and can introduce new stories to LotC. Here is the story I came up with.

The Lore

Karlio the elf is a respected person throughout the lands of Renatus and Holm, helping them become better nations. While helping build structures in Holm, Karlio did some research. His research was based around redstone and how it can affect some materials. He noticed that if you run a strong redstone current through a path of redstone a magnetic field is created. He first found this out when he felt his iron getting slightly heavier when he was around his redstone equipment.

His next experiment was a lot more complicated. He thought if one path of redstone could affect iron like that maybe he could create a way of amplifying it. He took his redstone and mixed it with some slime balls creating a sticky redstone substance and when hardened becomes like a wire. He wrapped the wire around a few sticks and created ten coils. He then connected the wire to a few redstone torches and then started to throw small pieces of iron ore at the sticks. As Karlio predicted, the iron stuck to the sticks. He called this the Redstone-Magnet.

Karlio's third experiment involved two Redstone-Magnets and a lot of power. This time he didn't wrap the redstone wire around the sticks ten times, but forty times. He held each Redstone-Magnet in either hand and pushed them together. When trying to push the tops of the sticks together, they would never fully touch. There was a reppeling force from the two magnetic fields. Same happend when he tried to push the bottoms of the sticks together. The only time they would touch is when the top and bottom where touching.

Due to Karlio's third experiment he thought that if there was a large deposit of redstone near the surface and it somehow had a current running through it, it could repel other large natural Redstone-Magnets, causing some land to move away from the redstone. This is when Karlio started to look for other scientists who may be able to help him find hidden lands which were pushed away by these giant natural Redstone-Magnets.

Karlio decided to venture back to Renatus in search of his old friend Alzonias for help. On his way Karlio saw patches of the sea which looked darker than the rest. He had to investigate. At first he thought that there was very dense clouds which were blocking out the light but as he looked up at the sky he noticed something inbetween the clouds. It was the land he had been looking for!

With his boat and his map he rushed back to Renatus. He found Alzonias and told him all of the details and they were both so excited but one question remained. How the hell do we get there!?

What we now need

I would like to carry out the rest of the lore ingame where a scientist will find me and show me the plans for a hot air balloon type invention. We would start building this and venture off to the new found land.

I would be very happy if people will leave their thoughts and any suggestions in this thread.

Why I think that this is better that the Sky Islands

• The Isles will be above sea so they wouldn't spoil any beauty
  
• It involves characters that people know and are familiar with
  
• Includes a very detailed explaination to how the Isles were made
  

If there are any questions I will post them on this post to save double posting.

Questions

Blundermore asked:

Native was extremely against the ideas of orcs having zeplins. How are you going to convince him and the other admins to allow both the basic construct of a zeplin (Hot air balloon) plus that of floating islands?

Well maybe a character could come up with a Redstone-Magnet elevator. With a current running through it the elevator will repel against the natural Redstone-Magnet land and fly up into the air. This could be created by making two elevators in game and use [lift up] and [lift down] functions. And to get the admins to allow this is the whole idea of this thread. With my lore and advantages with being above sea, I don't see why it can't be done.

Extra Ideas

Redmagnet University - A university where people from any race can attend and study about the Floating Isles and how they work. Students may also be able to coduct their own research projects as long as they are governed by a proffesor in the university. This can add so many RP opportunities and gives characters a place to go when the person goes on holiday. Also this will benefit the Asulon Improvement Committee by allowing them to say "This invention was researched and made at the Redmagnet University..." and so on.

Thank you for reading.

Karlio

Thanks Grabthar! :D

The Idea

A land which is level with the clouds, pretty simple idea right? I got the idea the other night, it just sprung into my head! I was thinking that there should be land in Asulon which got pushed up from the ground due to a high redstone magnetic field in the area. These lands can be inhabbited by all sorts of races and can introduce new stories to LotC. Here is the story I came up with.

What You Can Do

Please leave feedback and suggestions in this thread and if you wish to, support my idea!

Thank you for reading.

Karlio

I support my fellow elves! I hope to bring my thoughts and ideas to this new village. Please send me a bird, I would like to meet you one day.

I can use my Gold VIP if you need that. []

Karlio signs the notice

I shall be there as I was invited by Tolem.

A note is posted up on the main notice board in the city and it says:

Dear Friends and people of Renatus,

I would like to inform you that for an elven week I am leaving the city to take part in a creative writing and acting course. This course will allow me to advance our theatre even further soon after it is built. Until I am back my friend Relgard will be looking after the grounds.

Farewell

Karlio

[ I'm actually going skiing for a week in Italy! WOO! See you guys soon! :D ]

Karlio smiles and says to himself "These positions are great and I can think of a few people to go along with them. I think I might try and aim for one of these positions. Which one? I do not know yet. Something that will help everyone. Maybe like a spokesman for the public. The People's Voice. Yeah! That's catchy."

Karlio then walks off and starts to pack for his studies.

[ I will be leaving for a week on a ski holiday, please leave some room for me! :D ]

What an amazing idea! I hope that the residents get a say in as much as the rest of us. I only hope that whoever rules the land will be as fair and kind as ever.

Well first off it was partly both of your faults he should of said how it should look and you should of made sure he approved. I think you should atleast get a chance to get your farm back. And a question of mine why can't you have a farm for personal gain? Is this city communist? I think one should be able to have a personal farm as long as they pay taxes on it or something.

To answer your question, I couldn't use the land for personal gain as I didn't pay for the land it was located on. Renatus does allow farms for personal gain but you do have to buy the land and then pay rent afterwards.
