I have to say that it has been really fun living next to you on my high elf! Your farm definitely is a rp-hub, I hope you continue to play. On that note, I would like to completely agree with you. This has been the most fun I've had on the server; it's just fun to have complete freedom to build while also having so many active neighbors and fun RP to engage in. I definitely understand the problems people have with it though, but I personally think the issues are worth the benefits. Anyway, I wish there was a seperate forum for discussion and roleplay concerning the islands.

Why not just make it based on a case by case basis, where the horse travels as far as the nearest town? Not sure if that's technically possible, but I think people are just scared that their city/town is too far from anything for the horses to be useful.

Driving myself crazy waiting! It's the 29th! :o

this is amazing, by the way. I'm very critical, and I usually hate everything people write on lotc (even things written by people who are generally considered good at writing :P ) But this was very well written!

((Halflings have their own lore in the lotc universe, but they are for all intents and purposes, hobbits. At least, that's how I've always seen it. In the Lord of the Rings Books, I think frodo is called a halfling a few times.))

((I found it a little while ago, I pm'd frerry. I waited in Karik for a little while but I never seemed to be on at the same time as you liam))

So are the novellas that are already posted the only ones being judged? Looks like there's more than a few people that entered stories that haven't been added. The silence is driving me insane! :lol:

Did you get my entry?

I pm'd you mine! I can't wait for you to read it.

I have a few questions, once transformed, does your character have any memory of its previous life as whichever race? Which leads me to my next question, can any race be transformed into a kharajyr? Also, do you expect us to make a new character with the intent of being transformed into a kharajyr? Sorry if any of these have been answered before...

((I'm sorry to completely off topic, but my character is a halfling and I have no idea how to find where the rest of the halflings are. It's nowhere on the forums, like the other races. I just need a way for my character to find the village/gain information as to it's whereabouts. I'm trying to make this as un-metagame-ish as I can, if this is metagaming let me know. The only reason I'm asking on this post is because I haven't seen any other halflings... anywhere. By the way, this idea is so awesome it makes me excited to find you guys! I apologize again for going off topic...))

Ah thank you kind dwarf! Let me know when you are not busy and able to aid me! ((just let me know when you're going to be on, I'm in karik right now.))

*You notice a small note barely hanging off the bottom corner of the notice board. The note seems to ramble on a bit more than necessary, but you are able to understand the basic idea of it.* My name is Duglif Gramfoot! I have been searching for the great nation of the halflings for some weeks now, and I have to say, you halflings hide yourselves well! I have asked around many towns of humans, but I have come to the conclusion that they cannot be trusted. All they tell me is that such a nation does not exist! Preposterous, I say. I arrived at the cloud temple, and after circling around the pool of water many times, I realized that there was no road leading to a halfling nation! At first I was flabbergasted, but then I came to the conclusion that the halflings must be keeping their civilization a secret. Of course. How could I be so stupid? Well the point is that I need directions to said civilization! If any of you can help me, please do so! Duglif Gramfoot, halfling

thanks!

His parents were all he could have asked for; they loved him and supported him in everything he did. Many in his community would have called him very fortunate. However, it became very obvious at a young age that Grifon was very different from the other dark elf children in his community. It was subtle at first, starting with a few minor accidents. A neighborhood child would come home with an unexplainable injury, or one of the family chickens would be found mutilated with no evidence of a culprit. It wasn’t long before something terrible occurred. At the age of 45, Grifon was still a child by elf standards. The forest outside the farming community was silent, occasionally interrupted by the melodic laughter of elf children at play. Leaves slowly drifted to the forest floor as the agile elves leaped from treetop to treetop, engaged in a lighthearted but competitive game of tag. The intensity of the game grew as one elf closed in on her target, stretching her fingers to reach her prey as they accelerated through the branches. Suddenly, a loud scream broke the uneasy forest silence. The children stopped and sprinted toward the sound of the shriek that originated from behind them. Finally they came upon a Dark Elven child. His body was mutilated; he had been beaten to death. This was the first of a series of murders in the small village that they lived. Over the next 50 years as Grifon approached maturity, there were 5 more unexplained deaths. The relationships in the community distanced as they no longer trusted each other. Children were no longer allowed to play in the forest without supervision. The villagers lived in fear that their beloved offspring would be taken from them. No one would have expected the well-liked son of very prominent parents. However, Grifon’s paranoia grew. He believed that everyone suspected him. Passing glances in the town square, which to others would seem meaningless, were filled with suspicion and accusation to Grifon. The next day, Grifon formulated his plan. Night fell and he quietly left his house, taking special care to leave no evidence of his departure. He entered the house of his best friend and crept towards his room. The silence permeated every corner of the house, filling it like a thick odorless gas. As he reached his friends room, his mind was completely clear and focused. He noiselessly opened the door and glided to his bedside. Raising his hand, his sleeve loosened and fell down his arm revealing the shining blade of the dagger grasped firmly in his hand. He inhaled slowly, pressing the blade to his friend’s neck. Grifon was calm, almost passive. His friend’s eyes jolted open in response to the bitter cold of the steel. It was much too late. Grifon brutally lacerated his neck, smoothly dodging the splatter of blood. Grifon exhaled, delighting in the pleasure of murder. Leaving the room, he placed the dagger into the bedside table of his friend’s father. Grifon returned home, entering his house the way he left. He climbed into his bed, closed his eyes, and slept without issue. The following morning, the father of Grifon’s friend was burned at the stake for the cold-blooded murder of 7 elves. Now content that he wouldn’t be blamed, Grifon left the small village. His farewell was celebrated in the village as his final step toward becoming a man. This is where Grifon stands, a sociopath entering the world of elves, hoping to gain power and satisfy his own selfish desires. -Character Age: 104 -Character Appearance: Grifon is a Dark Elf. He stands at an average height for his race, roughly six feet. He has dark purple skin that blends into the night.

He will not hesitate to betray or murder his closest friend in order to accomplish his mission. Grifon cannot be trusted because he has no sense of morality.

Please re-review. Has been updated.

Is this not consistent with lore because of the villages? It was implied that these villages were extremely far from any civilization in the known world of Aegis. That's why it took Doryan two years to reach Malinor...
