((I have read this Journal thread for a while, but couldn't come up with anything to write about it until now. I like it. The journal is great, it is not often I stay around a thread so much, but when I do, then it is something special and interesting to read. I also appreciate that I am mentioned in the journal, even thought I haven't done so much. On the other hand I feel like I am missing out a lot of stuffs and some other weird things on my own Island when I am not around. I am looking forward to read more about the adventures and the life of Killeki Kasar. I have a feeling that the Journal so far is just the tip of the iceberg of a great story that might stay on this forum for a long time. Keep up the good work.))

Thanky and no worries, we always take good care of people. Also, I got more good news. The town Silva Insula, Forest Island has payed the required 50,000 Minas and has been accepted. We have protection on the Island as well as several new spots for new members.

Thanky ^_^ We do not have either yet. However, we are right now collecting the required 50,000 Minas for the town charter. Every member is doing their best to gather minas in their own way and so far we been able to gather a large amount of minas already. I would expect that the town has the right amount of minas within just a couple of days. We'll modreq it as soon as we are done.

TOWN CHARTER MC Name: Zigge313 RP Name: Ferron Andvare MacGowan Town Name: Silva Insula (Forest Island) Why are you/your character starting this town? What role will it play? The rotten cancer of war ravages the realm of Asulon like a plague. The relentless drive of thousands of soldiers steals the lives of many brave men, women, and children alike for every day that passes. The arrogance of their tyrant leaders is matched only by the brutality of their soldiers. Sick of all this, sick of people not caring for others, but only for their own greed, power and land, we have decided to create a isolationist city-state that focuses on economic and peaceful living. As an isolated place, the powerful few works together to direct their society. Besieged and surrounded by at all times by enemies, the members of the Island live in constant struggle to survive and has therefore developed an instinctive distrust and suspicion of anyone who is not a member of the city-state. On the other hand, the experiences of that harsh lifestyle has hardened themselves into a proud and hard working people to favor those of value. Any settlement within line of sight will be viewed as a threat and will remain under careful watch. However, even though we have trouble trusting others we are still a civil people, and will be willing to work out a peaceful solutions with nations that wish to settle near the Island. What type of political system is enforced in this town? Is this town under the reign of any other nation at this time? The town will have a Oligarchy system. A council will exist, consisting of 4 members that will lead the town with a Chairman, head of the council. Together the council members will help to supervise the town and advise the head who makes the final choices. However the council members do not need the allowance from the head when it is about: Payment for work Who to accept in the town What needs to be built Council Head of the Council - Ferron Andvare MacGowan (Zigge313) Council Member - Rosso Rildun (Jistuma) Council Member - Lerin Hrak (Alphalordt60) Council Member - Talithia (pixie524) The economic system is very different than others. The payment is done through gold, minas is very rare, but are still being used. All trade resides with the gold, even outsiders need to trade with it. Although gold is expensive to buy with minas inside the town, being almost the only thing you can buy with minas, the usage of gold inside it, makes the trade quite cheap. What sort of behavior will residents exhibit? (Race relations, nation relations, etc.) The Island is the land of the free, so people can behave and do whatever they chooses, providing they do not endanger nor harm any other persons or the Island with their actions. For all who live on the Island freedom is truly theirs. To live on the Island is a privilege and for that you have to fight to keep it, defend it with your heart and sword when someone aims to take away the freedom which the people have deserved. Freedom is what we still have on this Island, but we fear our rights are being eroded by the outside world and we have to be vigilant. All races are accepted into the Island. The citizens of Silva Insula are already a mixed group of races, however since it is very close to the human nations, humans are much more common than any other races. Elves, dwarves and even a kha residences in the town so far. No orcs has yet to reach the place. The town is very unique place that has its own economy system as well as a small, but tight community which will increase the chance of having more fun with others and more rp. The town works for itself and does not rely on any other nation or group. Those who live on the Island are all independent workers or just living in peace, they do not have to work, but they receive payment for it. Where would you prefer the town’s region be? Including a screenshot of the land would be nice (of game or map).

*You see a decorated note with short text and a picture on it, nailed to a bulletin board at the Cloud temple* The death of a lifelong friend My name is Ferron Andvare MacGowan and I live on the Forest Island far away from trouble along with several others. Unfortunatly has one of these people recently pasted away, a lifelong friend, a brother in arms and a dedicated worker. But even though he's gone his memory still remains in our hearts. R.I.P The Lad It was a cold and windy day when my friend sadly passed away, but the circumstances around his death is however still unknown. He was found by one of our other workers in the islands food cooler room, unconscious with a low pulse. We tried to save him, without any result. We were unable to wake him up from his coma and after a few days, he died peacefully in his own bed. We think of him as we go on each day. The good times we remember and the days spent together will be in our memories forever. So come and pay your respect at the Forest Island. - Ferron Andvare Macgowan

*Ferron smokes his pipe while he reads the mysterious note that he just found* By ma dwarven beard, wha did tha note say about ma mother? Who write this?! *Feeling insulted the dwarf spits on the note and walks away with smoke coming out of his nose and ears*

*Today seems to be a good day for you, but the clouds start to gather and the weather changes, a storm is suddenly brewing up. As you walk towards the local tavern it starts to rain and you fasten your pace. As soon as you enter the tavern, you notice several pieces of paper filled with text and pictures hung on the tavern wall* To whomever it may concern. The rotten cancer of war ravages the realm of Asulon like a plague. The relentless drive of thousands of soldiers has stolen the lives of many brave men, women, and children alike. The arrogance of their leaders is matched only by the brutality of their soldiers. These are the darkest days of Asulon. However fortune smiles upon those who are still alive. For in the midst of all the blood, the steel, and the dead there exist a safe place in the South West. "The Forest Island", an Island surrounded by the mighty sea , a great wall and a entrance that lies at a hellish sand desert. The Island has avoided destruction time after time, but now the black claws of war tightens its grip around the area. If nobody will stand in the way of this godforsaken disease, the Island will be wiped from the face of the earth in a blink of an eye. Until now It has been down to Ferron Andvare MacGowan and those around him to keep the Island safe. But they cannot stand alone forever. Work The Forest Island is hiring builders, soldiers, coal miner and many other! The Island is in dire need of increasing the defences around the Island, expanding the wall and digging trenches. We'll dig in deep, and you have to get your hands dirty.

((No, it's no contested land. It's in the wilderness. )) ((It isn't? ))

*All scrolls removed around the Dwarven Kingdom* (( Sorry, but this was solved. Please delete this thread if possible.))

*A dark shadow passes through the town while he suddenly hears shouting from Renatus keep. He turns around and listens to the message. Afterwards he starts mumbling to himself* So the meeting with the Count was an ambush.... and the messenger was killed. May Brokk Wayland MacGowan rest in peace, Ferron will not like this at all. But we have luck on our side, it seems he gave them false information and the wrong name about our informer, one less baron to worry about. I better report this to the others and the Rebel leader. *He quickly disappears around a corner and heads out of the city* ((Thanky, I appreciate it :D))

*Anonymous scrolls with text and pictures, are found all around the different Kingdoms* The Kingdom Of Renatus armies, lead by King Godfrey I Of Horen, arrived in the southern Wilderness not too long ago, proclaimed themselves as our liberators, the free peoples guardians. But Instead of protectiong the free citizens of the Wild, they imprisoned them. Took away what little freedom, land and peaceful life they had. King Godfreys greed knowns no bounds! But as the occupying force tightens its hold on the wilderness, a revolution will ignite. When they take away your rights, when they take away your freedom and when they take away your life. You must rise! King Godfrey I Of Horen are our target, The Kingdom Of Renatus are our war, they are our enemies! Consider this, our uprising against the oppressors! Take back your independence! End King Godfreys reign! Join the Rebellion! Freedom is just a revolution away.

*Walks past the note, but suddenly turns around when the smell reached his nose By ma grandfathers beard, wha' a smell. Smells like home! *Writes down a short answer on the note Aye be very intrested with ya offer, aye have lots of work for ya. Send ma a bird as soon as possible and we will talk. - Brokk Wayland MacGowan ((Zigge313))

Out-Of-Character: Minecraft Account Name: Zigge313 Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: No How old are you?: 20 Time-Zone/Country of Residence: (GMT + 1:00 hours) Sweden Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I keep my real name to myself, so you can just call me Zigge. I am a simple man, with a simple life in a country that I love. I am only one among many on this earth, nothing more to say about me. I tend not to make a big fuss about myself, so let us carry on with this application. How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 7 - 28 hours, depends on my work and my mood. What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: Roleplaying, it is when you create a character and act as him/her in a fictional world, in this case "Lord of Craft". A world which is full of adventures, life choices, goals and a huge story behind it. Everything is possible, within the rules of course. In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. I would say that Metagaming is when you use out of character information in the game, for example: You have found out the secret location of a enemy clan on the forum, then you use that information ingame to locate them. That is Metagaming for me. Powergaming in my opinion is when a you attempt to control the story around your character so he will gain an advantage as well as not giving the other player characters the opportunity to act as they want to. Forcing others to play along with your story or actions, without any freedom to do something about it. What do you expect this server will be like?: Hopefully a server that won't constantly crash and remove everything you have worked for. A place where even a new fellow as myself can be given a chance to start from the bottom and climb amongst the members to the top. I just want this to be a good roleplaying server, more or less. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have only played on 1 server before, Bettercraft - the Server was lagging, crashed from time to time, too much PvP and the moderators was abusing the rules. A vile and corrupt server indeed. Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes How did you hear about us?: I searched on Minestatus, I found BetterCraft the same way. Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? No, not yet What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: Zigge In-Character: Character Name: Brokk Wayland MacGowan What is your Race?: Dwarf Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Son to a blacksmith, Brokk Wayland MacGowan was born under the sound of hammer blows and the heat of a forge-fire. Son to a blacksmith in a small, isolated town far away from all the worlds troubles, even cut off from other Dwarven clans. His clan was a small and simple family, neither powerful nor wealthy, but able to survive the test of time through hard work and harder fighting. Unlike other avaricious and warlike clans, his did not strive for anything else than to earn their own living. Why the MacGowan Clan decided to live so far away from civilization has never been truly explained, possibly since the clan is touchy about their past, almost ashamed, and will do their best to avoid speaking about it; they take their shrouded history very seriously indeed. A dangerous place to grow up in, the treacherous mountains conditioned Brokk to develop an instinctive distrust and suspicion of any non-clan members. His trust is difficult, if not impossible to gain, and lost at the drop of a hat. As stubborn as his father, rough, hardened and sometimes even a bit short-tempered, once he has decided on something he is next to impossible to convince otherwise. Thankfully, he has a weak spot for a mug filled with ale and a good smoking pipe, something so small able to change his whole mindset about a new suggestion or companion. Shunning the complexity of magic and the arcane, he prefers traditional and simplistic close combat. Similarly, he isn’t particularly fond of other races, nearly incapable of placing his trust in any non-Dwarf. As he grew older, Brokk grew bored of his small, boxed-off world in the mountains. He loved his parents and his clan, but he couldn't figure out just what he was supposed to accomplish in such an isolated corner of the world. Pondering his purpose and his future, he took up the life of an adventurer in an effort to find fulfillment. After so many years of living in isolation from the world, Brokk was somewhat reluctant to leave his idyllic corner of the mountains for the world outside - even today he still longs for his quaint hometown, but a combination of his adventuring lifestyle and stubborn nature keep him out and about in the vast expanse of the world. Your characters ambitions: To figure out just what it is he is suppose to accomplish, finding a purpose. Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do? "EY! Which one of ya beardless elf-kissing fellas would like to taste my axe first?" says Brokk with a huge grin on his face while walking towards the group. One of the bandits turns around and looks at him before saying " What did you just say to me?" As quickly as a stone falls to the ground Brokk replied "Ha! Are ya deaf, ya rust-bucket? I bet ya can't even swing that fancy sword of yours!" The Bandit suddenly starts to run towards him in rage and tries to hit Brokk with his sword. Brokk repels the enemies slashing attack as good as he can, but he quickly realizes that the bandit is no ordinary thug, this one has skills. From nowhere, a dagger flies through the air and cuts deep into the bandit's back. With a scream, his opponent falls flailing to the ground. Brokk stands wide-eyed, wondering over what just happened, but then he catches sight of the elf. He was now alone and at the elves feet he sees the other bandit's body lying on the ground with a dagger in his stomach. Brokk starts to smile and says to the elf: "Ey ya, he wer suppose tae be mine. But that's okay, ya can thank me instead for distracting them" Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? "Aye, fella. Ah understaun that ya selling stuffs here. ye wouldnae huv a boatle of ale here tae?"
