A three masted Velian tradeship from the west encroaches upon the colony of Aquium. It makes port, lingers for roughly three days and then makes its way back out to sea, departing in the distant mists. It’d leave behind many family documents, letters, several empty crates and most importantly, a missive from Velia which would read as follows: Sons of Velia, we hope Aequium goes well. We have read of this Terra Pravum and hope that you’ve not forgotten your true purpose in these distant lands. The peoples of Velia have needs we must ask of you. Firstly, the mouths to be fed are many. We ask of you enough grain to feed the garrison for six months time. The details of which, we will leave within the crates for this. Second, we request a dozen of these foreign horses. We wish to see what this land provides in the way of sport and utility. Third, an exotic beast for the arena. The land is ripe with all manner of beast, surely you can manage to outsmart one or two of them. Finally, The sons of Mechinum have made a rather foolish move in the most recent forum. There are but a dozen of these men left, to evade the bulk of details. We shall present to you an issue and you are expected to develop an answer, the means of production and no less than three working examples. For this, we will provide set resources in which you may trade with the locals to fund the endeavors. Do not disappoint. The extras: These are simply passive ambient events that have occured in Velia. Red Dye continues to be cheap and easy to produce but green dyes have begun to see a decline in cost of production. Much of the lower-class fashion has shifted to reflect this. War on the northern front continues! The peoples of Nauris see staggering losses with each conflict but do not yield. Much of the fighting has shifted to open fields and casualties are mounting. Chain as fashion? Men of elevated status have begun to wear chain tunics alongside their daily garb. Rumors suggest petty family disputes have brought about this strange trend.

Certain figures within Velia note that they cut the figurehead of Gladewynn loose not two saints days ago.

Apologies for the delay in forum response! Look forward to seeing you folks in RP.

Was this thread was actually necessary? Seems like something that would have been adequately discussed in a discord server and brace for an absolute slew of alternate complaints, man. I do not envy you or your inbox.

Folks should just chill, wind down elsewhere and then come back to keep things in stride. The WC was lackluster but a mulligan would set a very negative trend that would completely ruin warclaims that have yet to come.

As a happy Garum Merchant of Velia, I too wonder how we might become eligible for land auction.

It was borderline impossible to know who was where. Between the kicking and lag, folks you see in one location have long since moved to another. I’d just shoot the mid-section of the towers in the future to render them useless.

A velian man looks the missive over with moderate interest. He’d send off a response, “Why do you take this stance? The fight has already degraded into finger pointing and as an outsider, I find it impossible to tell truth from fabrication. Would it not be easier to simply break their backs and behead their leaders? Erase them from history, silence their voices and see their gods cut from the skies? If your history is correct, these you find yourself one day welcoming as brother are the same you’ve fought again and again. Do you find purpose in this insanity? To attempt the same thing that has failed before? I see the compassion in your words but wonder if you’re putting the well being of outsiders above the well being of your kin. - Canus Regillus.”

Naaaah, ****’s not meant to 100% cling to historical accuracy. There’s no intent to be historical re-enactment.

As of 11/15 19:40 EST, Horses will be Carpet priced at 1K. We will only be putting out Velian Standard Horses. This is in response to the steep price of the horse armors.

Gods, or creature with powers so magnificent that typical players can not truly hope to stand a chance are incredibly stunting and disappointing. They’re what make many antags unapproachable and requiring a special snowflake group or a singular special snowflake turns all of the events into a theme park ride and a really, REALLY shitty one at that. You’ve stepped beyond the notion of gods and have, from what I can tell, literally attempted to apply a power akin to a God of Gods. I won’t turn this criticism against you on a personal level but, these sorts of events and ideas are precisely what the ET should not be doing. Ever.

Eh.. If they do something like that, you’ll get folks bitching on the forums and BRing GMs / Admins because of PEX Abuse and etc

Do this again with no shaders and default textures! It’ll change your mind!

Ah yes, a shop by boomers for boomers.

Craig you grouchy bastard! Screech the little **** to nothing and see it done! Inside jokes and such aside, hoping you stay in both good health and good spirits man.

If done on the basis of emotes, people arrive and must wait X number of emotes before entering the conflict.
