Stag

I have never said I am active and I quite literally said I can’t log on so go have fun for me. I told you it was my two cents, never expecting players to behold to my whims, and as I am only engaging on the surface I don’t expect to have an impact. What of this was done for me? I simply came back, witnessed one side being OOCly toxic, and wrote an RP post for intrigue. None of what has occurred has been caused by me or to my benefit. The admins didn’t sit down and go “Oh well BNK might see this so let’s make the chap feel good.” Dragging me for calling out toxic behavior is hypocritical to what you are doing to the admins. I am allowed to give my opinion too. I am a member of the community still and in talking with other members can come to conclusions. The same way someone else not RPing in Hnor can as well. Not to mention that I am calling for clarifications on rules as to avoid this type of OOC toxicty so that when I can get back online it isn’t such a shit show. Some of us have real life commitments. Some of us can’t afford to buy new laptops when they break. So again, I disagree on the rule to PK NLs for war. It shouldn’t have been a thing. I disagree that a coup should be null&voided. There needs to be clearer rules for coupers to fall back on. Kiwi’s OOC behavior was based on a vendetta and the community she acquired was held hostage via PvP. I find that to have been unappreciated and unacceptable. I am glad that the compromise will likely lead to further story telling instead of one side feeling 100% defeated after what was a pretty dubious process. BTW don’t put “respectfully” if you plan to immediately be disrespectful. I am not your example.

Give me a fancy tag too plz! As for this conflict, I have a few closing words: Gavin should have never been PKed. The PK rule on the warclaim he didn’t attend wasn’t appropriate. At most the character should have been kidnapped so a rescue could be attempted. There is no story in an immediate PK of someone who doesn’t PvP. This is just my opinion, of course. Secondly the way that Haelun’or is run does not give power to a council to be able to elect a NL. They are civil servants, not royalty, and are voted in by the entire playerbase. If the characters do not recognize their power then they don’t exist. So the way that Kiwi received NL relied on an OOC notion that ROs can avoid proper RP based on region mechanics. It’s very easy to call for elections in Helfdom so seeing one side grab PRO & ignoring RP in favor of using PVP to squash player morale was what got everyone heated. The OOC post from Kiwi was the cherry on top. When elections occurred one side avoided them twice. Same with debates. Had Kiwi been voted in & then done all of this it could have had a different outcome. I am not saying coups shouldn’t be allowed but you either fully engage in the roleplay or you pursue a different storyline. You can’t tell everyone to respect what you are doing if you are abusing mechanics to justify an OOC vendetta. That being said there needs to be clarification on things like roleplay coups. A form that one may submit to GM/Administration that has a victory line they can cross. I also don’t think the entirety of Kiwi’s side wanted to do something nefarious. Some genuinely wanted to change up roleplay & try new things. It sucks that the roleplay that did occur to coup is basically null&void but I hope that the compromise of a new settlement will allow those individuals to explore the things they wanted to explore. I also hope that despite words being flung from both sides that y’all recognize that we are all one big community. Feel anger, grieve the decision, but then let it go. Forgive and be forgiven. If I held a grudge for everyone I didn’t get along with I would be exhausted. I hope others who have argued with me in the past feel the same. I can’t even log onto LoTC right now. So please, for my sake, go enjoy yourself… and participate in the process of collaborative storytelling once more. Also… Obligatory use of the word Arcanism.

* the sigil of the Elervathars * Between myself, Iatrilemar Elervathar, and my daughter, Iaria Elervathar, we have led our people for centuries. Always striving to create beauty and instill courage in our fellow Mali’aheral. Yet it was also I who penned my name against Elesia Elervathar’s constitution out of neutrality. For even those of established lineage must give way to the will of the people. It has never been by a tyrant’s hand that the will of silver has been nurtured but it is by that same hand that a blessed city is tainted. Ivarielle Ibarellan has identified herself as Uthir and seeks to bleed the city of its mortality so that Snow Elves may rise. So they may burn it to the ground. To end the teachings of Larihei once and for all. Ivarielle Ibarellan has allowed the blood of those she calls kin to soak the stones of the square. She has refused to participate in a Malaurian-led debate for Sohaer. She has refused to acknowledge the will of the people and their sovereign right to vote and to publicly forum. She has taken advantage of a teachable moment towards my granddaughter and used it to spark genocide. In Haelun’or it has always been the will of those blessed elves that truly lead the way. It is by the will of the public that our traditions of silver continue on. Posting a plagiarized constitution alone does not grant power. Elesia learned this. So too shall Ivarielle. The government of Haelun’or does not own the children of silver. It is quite the opposite. For if the citizens do not recognize the council then the council does not exist. For she belongs to them and for only them does she stand. For the transgressions of kinslaying, inciting genocide, denying debate, denying the right to vote, denying the right to elect, illegally acquiring the position of Uthir, illegally instating a false constitution, and for aiding enemies in their endless pillaging, Ivarielle and the Ibarellan bloodline are hereby considered tainted. Impure. Unwelcome in the land of silver until a trial of purity may be held. If one does not walk the path of purity never again shall she or her kin be looked upon by the grace of the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. Now in this most delicate time we look to the traditions of our people, to the three thousand elven seeds spent celebrating our motherland, and to the will of the public. Who do they want to lead? What will bring them progress and health? There is no rebellion. Only a Sohaer voted in by the public and the mali’ata who find it is their time to leave.

“Though one is planted in fertile soil a sprout they still remain. A sprout forced to bloom before their spring will doom the roots to wither before the fall. It is better to plant the overwintered buds after the frost melts and to let them rest for the season. Now with roots knitted tightly into the ground they embrace the summer storms.” - Iatrilemar Elervathar The Caretaker walked beside his granddaughter, a brief moment of respite among the commotion “Perhaps it is time to visit your family and report what you have gained from this experience. Your mother is eager to see you, I am sure.” The events of the day lingered on the tongues of everyday thill yet he walked steadily onwards “Dove? No, it was a pigeon afterall.”

He used the money to buy me Darkest Dungeon (it’s true this happened) but my shitty laptop couldn’t run it so it’s been sitting in my steam account (also true). It was embarrassing for both of us. He likely shunned himself due to this.

Get rid of birds but then give the couriers elytra.

Your vision of the red realm really isn’t that far off from what is actually was. Also This concept is pretty neat and I agree with the idea of event/dlc expansion content.

“The Red Realm” is already a location that refers to the plane that the corrupted draakar, Setherien, ruled over. This was during Anthos. Edit: Check the spoilers you have at the bottom.

Haha it’s all I care about. I simp for arcanism.

Some good flavour lore. +1

Ah i stand corrected then 👍 or rather the topic is so vague it’s really up to the interpretation of whoever is current Lore team

Your understanding of the veil seems a bit off. The veil & void are not one and the same. The Veil keeps the void out. “Voidal Horrors” exist in the void.

I’m 26. 27 in August. I attempted to change my name from BrandNewKitten a while back since I am in fact, not brand new, or a kitten…. But that failed. Romantic roleplay in general kinda weirds me out. Did it once like 10 years ago & never again.

Next question; If the winning screenshot is of something I built, do I get a constellation prize?

Are the fringe & red realm maps available?

All this time and my render of “Saiko, the dediest warior” is still being used. Brings a tear to my eye

Rewards are a bit lackluster. Shouldn’t the reward represent the time and energy put necessary for those winning pieces? 100 mina? A pixel item? Seems stingy.

Necromancy should have stronger interactions with the world and more of them. Balance combat spells but make rituals and the like overpowered. There should be heavy incentive to be an active necromancer that actually does things. It can take a long time to build a plot so finding ways to incentivize or speed up that process would be my go to with a rewrite.

Big fan of this lore. Nice work!
