Talias

We were talking of ransoming her not killing her...

I agree it's long since we have had problems with atacks it was mostly in the start where we had people camping the city killing everyone there

((

And all the other high elfs, we are always welcoming... As long as you are pure! :P

))

All that about our pools aren't really a problem the way I see it there is nothing in it that would give ekstre work for the GM I mean it would only work for elfs and on matter if they are wood elfs or just normal elfs they can all just do /setsubrace high elf and then it would work just fine

it would just be a way to RP that you turn into a sub race rather then just doing the command and pof! high elf. There would be the RP where you get accepted by the high elfs, the start when you earn trust within them, all the times you are taken to the pools to bath and drink from them and lots of other RP. I'm sorry but I just have a hard time find the bad thing about it.

Why not just blow up/flood the High Elven Plain and give the High Elves their own island separate from the Elven peninsula? ^^

There would only be one way that could be fun and that would be if we were atleast allowed to get creative mode and quickly get some building done so we don't have to start all over cause really that would just make people leave and where's the fun in that?

The problem I see is actilly just that we hate outsiders IC and also a bit OOC becuase they always come for the same to kill us or atleast cause trouble and I know it's RP and all but it just gets old when they come back over and over again to tell us we dislike people. I remember back when our walls were even worse then they are now and there wasn't as many people in Haelun'or. at times I was atacked by villians twice a day that killed us for being racists and I know that wasn't mori but it is now. Now all the villians that come to our city are (mostly) mori and yes it's fun the first 3 or 4 times but the 16. time you come yelling at our gates and taking our people it's just not fun anymore. Conflict is fun yes when it varies not when it's the smae and the same over and over again so maybe we should sit down OOC maybe in this topic and find new ways of conflict between us or maybe even team up and be ICly mean to someone else

Yes, that nonsense.

The kharajyr's race changing statue has been done away with too, though convenient for changing races without losing one's previous character the idea smell's 'fishy' and power-gamey to say the least.

Genetics through inherently magical waters, is far sillier and problematic than the alternatives available.

Problems would include;

Inherent functions, continuity and expecting other players to respect and conform to what the fountain does [ that's why it needs be a rite rather than a magical object - which would be undermined very easily - or potentially result in arguments if someone say 'fell' in]

As far as I understod it was only normal elfs that would be changed so that's an easy way to RP that you get part of a sub-race and I don't see why that's a bad thing

Transformation as opposed to purification [ there are many cultures that have rites of purification to draw on, it would have the side benefit of having a rite, or lore to accept other elves into the high elven society which seems increasingly closed]

The high elf society is very colsed yes but if you are an elf that seek to join/become the high elfs we would test you to see if you could be accepted (wich you most likely would)

Remembering or being reminded of previous lives [ it's much better to reroll rather 'transform' even if it includes amnesia, this would create a precedence where a player could change race and ask for a race change without having a new character]

On this one I totaly agree, you should just play your character as you've always done with the same back story and all but slowly change to our ways and become more accepted in the commonity

Gm's being expected to reset players races [ this would be demanded if such an object was accepted by GM's the phrase ' but shift accepted it' is already misused far too often by players]

If they are already elfs (as they have to be for this to work) they'll just do /sup-race (or whatever the command is) and set it to high elf

Credibility and RP [ magical, body alterring fountains or statues? seems unnecessarily dramatic considering the alternatives which would be both more believable and more useful in RP]

I can't see the probelm with the "golden pools" and as soon as they are done it'll be something I would use on surten occasions

The alternative I would suggest would include ideas like family lines, culture - found or developed, and a rite of purification involving water to signify acceptance into High Elven society. You could even keep an element of forgetting, or an aesthetic change to eyes and hair - genetic changes and race changes is a step too far though.

If you are of and other race and bathed in the pools we'd kill you for it, it's only for those allowed by the council and are seen as pure elfs/high elfs

right now the pools are only something we talk about (because they arn't done yet) but when they are done we can hopefully allow more elfs into the city to join our RP and community and maybe even making it on to our skype group to join the OOC work to better the high elfs if we have to or find that we would like to we'll maybe send 'teachers' out to Normandor to tell people about the high elven way of thinking and working as a whole I'll also suggest that people who want to join look at the amazing guide that our dear Sporadic made we are open for people who wish to do it our way do to IC reasons as well as we want the RP to follow the high elven lore

Edit: I would also like to point out that other races have been accepted within our city currently we have a mali'ker living within our walls it used to be two but one of them got banned for copying an app or something also Silith a mali'ker that was accepted by the mori is often seen in the city mostly with my because I have a lot of respect for that guy both IC and OOC he helps the high elfs every now and then and thats why we are willing to talk to him (most of the time) ofcause this also depends on who you meet at the gate cuase some of us really don't like outsiders so if you want to play with us and be respected and liked you simply have to RP with the respect we belive we deserve

((What a fine family you two would make :wink: ))

*pins a note under all the others*

I request the search to be set on hold Ellir have been located and I'll personaly make sure that she is brough back to the silver city

Talias walks up to the note and reads it his face turning more and more angry as he finds out what it's about

How dare any impure swine take my fiancee they will pay for this, as soon as we find them they shall taste my blade. They will burn every single one of them, burn in the purest fire!

I Would be able and willing to teach fighting in all of it's arts I'm highly skilled with a sword and wish to teach the way of the sword, the hand and the bow.

- Talias

every person who is in the Legion is asked to come to the base and look up if you are on the new member board if you arn't contact Talias or Nelecar and ask to be put on it.

The first Mali'aheral legions Legate will also be at the opening with an honor gurad.

Ellir I would like to learn the elven toung too when the class starts.

attention poeple of the first Legion

it have come to my attention that our stocks are going down so to keep track of what we have and what we need you are to report what you take before you take it only in the case of an emergency are you allowed to report it in afterwards reports are to be given in person or by letter. ((pm on the forum)) if you are caught taking stuff without reporting it you will be punished with force labor.

OOC: can't we have it a few hours earlyer or maybe at saturday the same time?

to all who have joined and all who wish to join find me and I will set you up with a room in the base with a bed and a locked chest.

hello high elfs

I was thinking if we should ask one of the admins to make us a team speak channel so we could sit in there and goof around, also to see who's online

I have signed up for the legion. Come on brothers! Join up to defend our great college!

you where the blacksmith right, if yes there are a workroom for you in the base.

I heard you are in need of new recruits, I come to present my sword to you, Ill help defending our great city!

am I right when I say you know the way of magic?

if it come to it I will personaly pay for all the iron we need to make armour and weapons but indeed we need men we are too few and most of us are for some reason farmers only few know how to wield a sword but that can change we need an army of our own right now we are only 3 wich is far from enough. I kindly request for just a few Mali'aheral to join the legion and and learn the art of war.

it do not matter to me if you are with the warnation or not we will hunt down orcs for the low beings they are you rob and kill thats all that matters to me you are low... you hear me LOW!!
