Hollow. Empty. Silent. Your eyes flutter to from the darkness that consumed them, to large branches of a gnarled tree that protrudes from the center of your vision. The blackened wood remains cracked, twisting and knotted in its macabre beauty. Stones surround its form, scattered absently from the aftermath of destruction as the features of wood seem to protrude outwards. Endless faces carved into the wood, their mouths moving where no sound would leave from its form. Torn upon its upper roots lay the corpse of a beast of gold, its mane mattered and covered in crimson and black. Its form lays limp, its crimson dripping into the ground with sickening splashes that break through the silence. The endless expanse of wood was blanketed by the fog that clings to the area, the roots burrowing and anchoring as if the skies were trying to ensnare them into the clouds. The symphony of nature is replaced by an eerie silence that haunts its presence, the lack of nature encapsulates the grotto. The winds of humid heat cascade into nothingness as skin is brushed by the waking calm, a lingering threat of the unknown, of the unfound. Stagnant winds brush aside the dust of continuity, of change. All that awaits is the present, the now, the never. The Heart of the World now lies asleep, when shall it wake?

The Cloudbreaker’s Journey Long has the draconic beast plagued the lands of Almaris. From its first sightings amongst the people of Brev, to the driving of it from its lands that were near the seas of sand. It has lingered, strayed and become a sight for many to grow used to. The Almarian Society of Bounties and Beasts has now located an entry-way within the lands of fire to find the nest of this beast, we were able to track it into the deep, western mountains but no further without fear of death. So we grant this opportunity and tell you to ride along the coastline of the west, once the water fades there will be a guided valley that shall take you to where we believe the nest of the beast is. If any are stupid enough to hunt it, then do so. Or at least ensure that the beast does not plague our lands any longer. It hunts for food it cannot find in its own lair, perhaps there may be a way to entice it to stay where it belongs? Good luck Adventurers and Almarians.

As I do thank you descendants for your work with the compilation of works from Aegis and Asulon. We are still actively seeking texts from this era and recountings of its time, so I do beg of you to search through any works that you have, or write your own and take credit to become an esteemed scholar. We will then move towards the compilation of texts over the next period of time, which shall be Anthos, Athera and Vailor. These three continents are filled with pivotal movements of all the descendants, with threats following forth and allowing for us to truly appreciate that of the past. The peaceful times that we live in now are something that was not even dreamed of, and this means that there is history to tell within these eras. Specific areas of interest that we are looking to gather knowledge upon are below: Anthos ✎ The Rise and Fall of the Holy Orenian Empire and the Exodus ✎ The Formation of the Conclave [And exploration into the dissolution of Malinor] ✎ The Dwarven Threat [An Exploration on their power post-exodus] Athera ✎ The Death of King Vydra ✎ The Rise of Laure’lin ✎ The Legacy of Kalenz Uradir ✎ The Ibleesian corruption of Renatus ✎ The Empire of Khorvad Vailor ✎ The Duke’s War ✎ The Assassination of Guy De Bar [And the formation of the New Holy Orenian Empire] ✎ The Plague Above are the topics we are wishing for critical works and analysis upon for the new library. These will grant 100 mina per entry and then all other information surrounding the lands above will be granted 75 mina each. These can be submitted next to the awakening place of the Cloud Temple, there is a monk next to a chest to the left that will allow for you to deposit your entries in. It will take a year of analysis to verify your books and entries to be legitimate and not complete nonsense. With such, we will then further arrange payment and take the name of those who submitted it for the purpose of immortalisation. Do know, that now entries surrounding Aegis and Asulon have been increased to 150 - 200 mina respectively to represent the higher demand for them. Thank you, shall the Triumvirate guide you.

The strange substance vanished from Charles Galbraith, it seemed that it was only him that preached falsehoods and inaccuracies with things that bent past reality. -
Blessed be, those of the descendants under the care of our beloved Triumvirate. We of Wilven do seek those of the blood of scholars to fill our library. For our own shelves have laid empty since the Library of Dragur, held its departure with the destruction of Arcas. What we seek is a true return to us honoring our ancestors and the times that they took part in, for the newer generation to absorb and understand the mistakes of the past. For this, I do ask for those of long life, or those that have recorded these events to immortalise themselves with their works. For our first collection of works, we aim to look for those recounting events from the era of Aegis and Asulon, outlining certain familiar eras that are iconic to the development of the nations that stand here. Specific areas of interest that we are looking to gather knowledge upon are below: ✎ The Fall of Alkhazar ✎ The fleeing of Aegis ✎ The Phoenix Rebellion ✎ The Death of the Wandering Wizard ✎ The histories/interactions with the Mori’Quessor ✎ The Chronicles of the Creation of the Holy Orenian Empire ✎ The Trial and Burning of Dawn “The Baker” Perea and the Salvian Histories These are topics that we believe critical works and knowledge are missing within our libraries, important events that helped shape the lands that we now inhabit. For this, we are offering 100 mina for every work that is written on the topics present and 75 mina for every other work that will be used to help understand these lands. For submission, there will be an assortment of chests that will be at the Cloud Temple for us to analyze and gather. These books will need to be titled and your name should be presented for us to grant you an allocation of mina after reviewal. They will be under scrutiny and will be then immortalized within the Cloud Temple’s new library which is under development. If there are questions, we do have an aviary at the Temple to ask questions. Do contact me there so I will be able to answer and respond to any true inquiries. Shall the Sun, the Moon and Stars shine ever brightly above us, to guide us through the darkness that dwells in the edges of the world. Monk Florencio, Keeper of Knowledge

[✗] CA Submission - The Children of the Preserver
ScreamingDingo replied to Qizu's topic in Denied Lore
This lore has been denied - This lore falls under the Deific Embargo, focusing on Primordials which are currently being sorted out and could potentially have a large plothole if this piece goes ahead. -
Okay ignore what I said bring them back

didn't read but I'm going to strawman this single point Nation Leaders should be held to a higher standard of conduct and roleplay because they effect their entire playerbases actions and behaviours with what they outwardly display. If a Nation Leader thinks it's fair game to harass and **** over other playerbases out of OOC spite, the players that follow them also adopt that behaviour. Honestly couldn't care less but all of this drama AND ban is extremely easy to avoid if you simply just roleplay on a roleplay server (lol). Not every NL is taken out for these actions, it's quite rare to see the level that has been achieved since the very start of this plot months ago where the entire coup was clowned with the Disney villain blogpost.

Can't believe the removal of some of the biggest anti RP shitters that have been on the server in years is met with people begging for the administration to step down.
happy I'm not admin or I would've crucified these people and made it permanent

@Borin PVP itself isn't bad, and never has been; this said, the people who abuse PVP to further their aims tend to lose the narrative. More often than not PVP focused cliques grift faction to faction purely so they can get a good fight or to fight people they dislike OOC. I have found that a lot of PVP mentality is very OOC, and that a good portion of the "RP" is just bunny-hopping around. Then again, I haven't been in or led a pvp faction for over a year now so my take may be outdated.
Rampant alting killed the quality conflict a lot of these comments preach. The great battles and events in LOTC history were not pushed by PVPers. The Rise and Fall of the Johannians was RP oriented, and not goon chaos. Guard Forces were rarely PVP focused, as they were meant to keep order in a city- all because they PVP'd raiders did not mean that they prioritized it. Goons were always just muscle. I miss vassal culture...

@Islamadon Oh yeah I completely recognise that pvp goonery and alting is an unpleasant aspect - bad eggs and behaviours in both pvper and rper factons. But some who seriously don't want pvp at all on the server are utterly bonkers.
On guard forces, end of the day PVP and the threat of war (which is possible only with PVP) are what give them stakes. It should never be a priority all the time, but esp. now that war is actually a thing (unlike at the end of Arcas in which it completely perished in ability to do anything due to technical and rule limitations), and war can have big implications for a nation (see the Dwarf-Oren war, and the civil war in its aftermath), there are real stakes. You don't have these sort of stakes without it, which is my point - If some folk got what they wanted and pvp was abolished, war would basically be impossible, and you'd have the sort of stagnancy that damaged Oren etc in Arcas and the beginning of Almaris, unless of course staff decided that their events should be able to snap nations out of existance or smthn to that effect (you get the idea).This view is based on my personal experience of joining the server, joining the Duchy of Adria (the village in Oren opposite Lorraine, under you-know-who), doing guard RP, and staying bc of the excitement of having stakes of fighting against Lorrainians who were banditing and raiding, etc. I think the stakes that the conflict pvp enables, and the impact this has, far outweigh the damage of excessive pvp goonery.
(Also, you visited Acre yet? :D)

@shartings I completely agree, but in all honesty I think that has very little to do with 'pvp mindset.' There are, unfortunately, just as many people that powergame excessively in CRP for the same reason. It's an overall flaw in the server.

Oh man I've wanted them gone since you originally wrote them. Maybe I'll finally oblige
