An armored woman would move through the various crowds holding posters before finding and pinning the poster to a welcome board. Seeking Gorundyr I address all Gorundyr, their friends family or associates and people seeking to live our culture. Since recent time our numbers have dwindled to the hundreds, our culture brought to it’s knees by time and separation. Distant clans are brought down by in fighting and other outside forces. I’ve received Kiir from other clans many times over the year, their families disarrayed and destroyed. We’re truly in a the twilight of our religion and it’s time we join together. Clan Orvar has secured a district governed by our people under the Qualasheen. A place where we may freely hold our festivals, build our altars, hold our divinations, and live peacefully. I urge all who worship Jolf’marr or wish to worship to travel to the Harian Gorundyr District and speak with the Ziem and Chieftain Aine of Orvar. -Chieftain-Ziem Aine of Orvar. OOC Real talk: Right so with the actual content of the poster out of the way I can get into the nitty gritty. I’m attempting to bring activity back to the Gorundyr. What are the Gorundyr? TLDR they’re vikings, love it? Great. The long explanation: The Gorundyr are a culture of Celtic and Norse based people. They’re beliefs and life is strongly rooted in their gods and culture and are expected to act at least somewhat within that culture. An example of this are the sacrifices done frequently by individual Gorundyr. They are expected offer up things to certain gods to gain their favor. Say someone fishes often, they would give up their largest catch each day to the altar of the god Draug the ocean deity. There’s three major paths in the Gorundyr culture that most people tend to fall into. The Priesthood, Warriors, or Craftsmen. Warriors and Craftsmen are the most common and are often both done together, however those who don’t set themselves upon a path of warrior or priesthood aren’t seen as lesser. While the military is traditionally dominated by males, Shield maidens are very much accepted and are seen as equals. Creation: Still interested? Neat. There’s a certain learning curve to playing a Gorundyr so to help smooth over the transition normally you should contact me on skype(ninja4fun) my name should appear as Sir Muttington at the moment. Now, there’s three basic ways of making a Gorundyr. There’s creation of a child from another clan that was brought to an end. This option is generally the easiest way to get used to the culture as the general separation of the clans can lead to divergence in how the culture is taught. This means you can start knowing all the gods, the language, the religion and all that sort of stuff or you can start with a lesser knowledge of the full thing and I can correct this through roleplay over a longer period. If you’re a quick learner and want to begin a fully fledged Gorundyr that’s also an option, you can even create a full clan and bring that to the district if you have the people. The last major option is using a current character, the problem with this option comes with the fact that they are in fact.. grown. Not only is it rather awkward to come up with a proper rp reason to just switch to a lesser known religion there’s also the fact that they’d be expected to switch fully no matter their previous beliefs. If the character decides they don’t like a certain aspect of the culture or religion they’ll essentially be told to just **** off and training and kinship with the rest of the people would be cut. (Again, it’d be better if you are going through this process with me, if you haven’t yet please add me on skype at ninja4fun and i’ll go through it with you and answer any questions.) Right so once you’ve decided which way you want to bring the character to the culture you need to decide on a patron god. A patron god is basically the god you identify most with and spend most of your time. For instance a blacksmith would most likely have the patron god Oknar. You can find the gods here(For credit see the bottom of the page.) along with the whole bulk of culture lore, you’re gonna wanna bookmark this page. If your character is a grown Gorundyr they are expected to have a patron god. Characters changing religions can choose one once they learn about it icly and children can choose to learn it icly or have one when they arrive. Most Gorundyr are trained from a young age to use a certain weapon. The most common weapons are |Askr(Spear): Hewing, Winged, and Barbed throwing spear |Brandr(Sword)| Double edged swords with less pronounced cross guards. Ex: Longswords, Claymores. |Skjoldr(Shield)| Round shield, always taught to be wielded with the Brandr. |Dreithr(Axe)| Dane, and Bearded |Almr(Bow)| Used for battle and hunting, they are strung with quite a bit of draw force. The Gorundyr also speak their own language, Jolfmarr’tal. Grown Gorundyr should know every word, children can vary in how much they know even within the clans they come from, and people switching religions won’t know anything for the most part. Skinning and Appearance: Pretty much what you think a viking looks like is what you a Gorundyr like. They drape themselves in furs and simple clothes, paint their armor and shields with Gorundyr designs like woad and similar things. While I can skin my ideas for clothes is for the most stressed to the end. The creator of the lore also has a database of proper examples to look at here. When crafting the appearance of your character keep in mind the traits normally in the genepool. Gorundyr are under the highlander subrace and are from mountainous regions so their skin is almost always pale. They generally have brown hair and blue or green eyes. Braids are a very common style added to Gorundyr’s hair. Naming: Rather straightforward process, any nordic sounding name you want to use followed by “of [Clan]” for instance “Sven of Hodren” Rp Values: Be able to type properly and keep the roleplay tone. If you find yourself to be rather dramatic or easily have your feeling hurt we’re maybe not the best group oocly for you. We enjoy roleplaying out all actions, so if you’ve learned a trade icly you need to be able to roleplay that trade properly. Roleplay sparring and fighting is a large part of the culture so do not expect to be kept away from it. If you have a certain problem with someone oocly you are expected to be mature and either avoid that person rply or play nicely. For the most part everything else can be cleared up when it comes to it such as what path they want to go on. Also fun fact: There’s a lore reason built into Gorundyr for killing edgy crow messenger birds. They’re seen as omens or bad luck, like black cats. You can contact me through the Forums, in game(SoberMutt, StonerMutt, DrunkardMutt.), or on skype at ninja4fun(Will appear as Sir Muttington) You can contact the original creator at doctorowyn and here’s the culture post on the forum he has posted.

A certain armored woman would blink as she watches the Warhawke skip around singing morbid tunes "Rather morbid girl, though I hope Isabelle joined the dead she spoke of." She'd mutter to no one in particular.

Theres one that turns off the road leading to haria, by the npc stand that used to buy gold

Because our other anthropomorphic race is so popular?

Vikings in the desert?

"Hmm.. A proper home for the Gorundyr would be great." The Orvar would move to the family home and come back with a list "I would like to put down a bid for the city of a Casket, Tome of the Tinker, 2 pearls, A block of gold, 2 gold ingots, gold nugget, Ostavarian Mark, 2 strange apples (1 I luck of the sea, 1 III luck of the sea), A larihei's finger, This orc Easter egg labeled "cute", this contraption from the market with a string (It's very clearly a yo yo), 6 serpent stalk, Halfling's grass, Mandragora, Alabaster leaf, a tippens leaf, a diamond block, and 656.7 Minas. We also have a miner working to add more to our offer so I'll add on as necessary. We would be using this district as a home for the Gorundyr culture to hold Divinations, coming of age festivals, a place to put our alters as well as a place to hold our yearly Yul Tine festivals. As this city seems to be mostly dead this definitely would bring up population at least a bit and would also help our culture grow. I do hope you seriously consider our offer we've put up a lot of what we currently have." ((TLDR offering list as the above may get hard to read. The last paragraph is our plan for the district. Casket Tome of the Tinker 2 pearls A block of gold 2 gold ingots gold nugget Ostavarian Mark 2 strange apples (1 I luck of the sea, 1 III luck of the sea) A larihei's finger This orc Easter egg labeled "cute" a yo yo 6 serpent stalk Halfling's grass Mandragora Alabaster leaf a tippens leaf a diamond block and 656.7 Minas

The armored Orvar would hold up the note reading it before speaking to herself "The other flier says whoever buys the land can redecorate as he wants.. how would he do that without evicting residents?"

(( I can't help but read it as "Mounts of "

First commission is done. I didn't feel like doing the dragon so I didn't, but you got a nice sunset out of it. I feel sexually attracted to that bandanna that **** turned out sexy. Keep in mind there's no order to what I do these in, it just happened to be the first one I wanted to do. Order is based on whether I want to do it.

Oh.. Neat!

Who are you?

Intro: Howdy, Some of your might know me and most of you don't. I'm some dude you might see running around every once in awhile with a **** ton of characters you won't bother to keep track of even if you do bother to rp with me semi regularly. Anyway I started doing art and I crave positive vibes so i'ma dump it here. Also i'm sorta willing to do commissions. I.e if i'm invested i'll make it for you just fill out the form that i'll put in here somewhere. Yeah. Arts: People **** themselves over the angle of the goggles so here's a non-scavenger picture the hairs slightly shittier. I wanted to paint something for my dad for his birthday so I did my favorite photo of him from his college graduation. It also happens to be one of my better ones so i'ma post it here. First finished commission: Artemic That's it, gimme new stuff to draw I don't have much to draw. Commissions form: Skype or Discord: Character name: Character desc: Extra picture desc: Pose reference(It helps me make it faster): Face reference(If you have something specific in mind): Do you love me?: Fill out all that is applicable. If something can't be answered don't fill it out, except the last question, that one's mandatory. First.

You're supposed to update the transition time before it happens not after

Considering they are wiping the skills in the first place to put everyone on a balanced playing field, giving people exp based on what their skill level before was is a ******* terrible idea. Also why would you say no to a free bump to any skill you want in the map when you're complaining about it being reset in the first place. For the people who are losing ranks like Aengul and SuperCal you could probably give them some of those premium points from the new donation system to help make up for the grind.

Fuckin' do it mang

None, screw pokemon man.

Casper Teve would give a small frown as she hears the news "Could've come and said goodbye before it was to late.. I was sorta his daughter for awhile.."

Out-Of-Character Information What’s the name of the Minecraft account you're applying for?: StonerMutt What's your MAIN Minecraft Account name?: SoberMutt Do you agree to follow the rules on your new account?: Ye' man Do you understand you cannot be on both of these accounts at once? This will result in a ban if you are caught!: Ye' man Do you understand that if one account is banned, so will be the other(s)?: Ye' man How long have you been on LotC?: I've had an account on the forum for like 5 years and I think I actually got accepted in 2013 How many accounts do you currently have whitelisted (including main)?: Two

You guys really made some good points about 1.9 man. I feel my perspective has been changed severely.

Be a Viking Pagan. Gorundyr are a culture of humans with a faith based around paganism.

What kind of event would you like to see?: Ice age Would you rather see the descendants pushed off our current land, or giving incentive to move themselves?: Pushed off If you want to be pushed off, how so? If you want incentive, what would that be?: I think a series of events where people are pushed off their land by the encroaching cold would be amazing, people in the snowy areas like Norland, Dwarves, and Gorundyr forced to leave their homes and take refuge somewhere else. Then Oren is forced to move on(Knowing them it would give them an excuse to warclaim a desert area to move.). Then eventually even the sands are frozen over. How should we travel to the next map (boat, portal, etc)? Boats, I loved the rp on the boats after Athera. I'd be nice for that nameless king dude to show up again, I liked that event on the last transition.
