If you want an Australian time group, hit me up in Discord (RideTheSky#0001) and I can hook you up with a group.

“The Scriptures can be obtained by any man with the will to pursue them, don’t be lazy and ask for hand-outs.”

“Something tells me I should be at Belvitz later . . . Not entirely sure why.” Demetrius muses.

”I didn’t receive anything?!” Juliya Maria Ludovar sniffs disdainfully, curling her lips upwards into a snarl. “Surely I deserve something.” Huffing, she tosses the paper aside with a lazy flick of her wrist.

“Ungrateful children deserve the rod,” Demetrius says with a hint of irritation.

“What was it my father said about poisons... Something about it being a eunuch's weapon.” Demetrius mused with Viktor and Astrid.

A terribly made application is sent in to request an interview

"Thus another falls into the alluring trap of lying to gain favor of the people." Demetrius would lament. "Unfortunately for this young man all of what he claims of the current Maer are visually disputed. Not living in Markev? He has a room within the palace. Hasn't put forth his plans? We have been in constant communication about possible ways to implement his plans. Not seen around the city? I see him more frequently than running into you."

After a moment of silence the Lord Palatine gives out a heavy sigh. "We are all working for the betterment of Haense, none of us should build a platform on the perceived failures of others but purely on the ways on can improve the future of our people."

I know this reply is a little late, but why not just state that bows take 3 emotes, shields take x number of emotes, and any other common weapon takes 2? 
 

Because that’s not a rule on it’s own, it’s part of powergaming, but if it gets added I don’t much mind. I’ve no horses in this race.

Lunar Cycles play into Druidism via Transcendence and other Fae based interactions. Itd inclusion and requirement for exposure is to eliminate people hiding trees in concrete bunkers other sealed up catacombs This merely builds off of it.

The more you know I guess!

The glyphs are basically aesthetic, or there'd be concrete ones to use. It's fluff, it doesn't matter if it's there or not. 

Please just remove it then, I understand it’s aesthetic but it doesn’t really fit druid aesthetic, it’s more of a dwarven thing if anything.

The ability for husks to identify husks on sight was, surprisingly, not my idea. It was an idea brought up and agreed on by Soul Tree chat as a whole. 

Regardless of who brought it up, it’s literally a problem with metagaming, because ‘just knowing’ something (even as basic as being a husk) can cause more problems than the ability is worth.

And Shifting and Soul Trees will not be made to branch apart, thereby forcing several people to decide on one or the other unnecessarily. The benefits of ST have been greatly reduced as well, so the complaint is invalid as far as I care. 

I mean, I knew that it wouldn’t get changed, I was merely lamenting at this point to be fair.

Overall, I guess I should say that I did enjoy what you changed otherwise, good work.

The target druid must let the assisting Soul Tree paint the glyphs on them with their sap, where their chosen sapling will be sat atop.

4. Icly, the ritual is dependant on lunar cycles. When the Aspects Realm is closest to the Mortal Realm, a full moon, is when the ritual takes place. This means a Soul Tree can only make another Soul Tree once a elven day. This is mostly for aesthetic purposes considering failure means death of the transformed.

Glyphs and lunar cycles play absolutely zero roles in druidism, so don’t add them to one niche thing just to add more requirements to soul trees, it’s a clear desperation move just to make it look like it’s more difficult. Simply remove these two and keep the rest.

A forest of trees are aware of the roots touching one another. A Husk can identify when someone else is a husk on sight. This doesn’t tell them any information about who, how old, or anything other than they are a Husk and therefore another Treelord.

A very thinly veiled excuse to metagame that another druid has a soul tree or not, find out the old fashioned way or don’t find out at all, simple.

When it comes to the druidic gift of shapeshifting, the Soul Tree itself will pull upon the spirit of the animal when assuming its form. The sap within the Tree Lord will liquefy and dilute more, and the mimicked flesh becomes dominant within the body. Meaning, the Tree Lord assumes the animal's body in complete form - with all flesh and blood included as they would no longer be made of wood. They do not have any differences to a normal shapeshifter, nor any strengths or weaknesses - they are the same. When the shapeshifted Tree Lord perishes, the animal corpse will remain due to the laws of the natural cycle. Their conscious will then return to the Soul Tree once more.

I am now, as always, and continue to be, against the idea of soul trees and shapeshifting being able to be shared with a single being. Yes, I personally did have both, but that was because the lore allowed it, and even then I fought against it where I was happy to choose one. This should be a path a druid should choose, they either get to become a tree lord where they are cut off from shapeshifting, or they choose to become a shapeshifter where they are cut off from getting a soul tree.

I’ve never seen a rule about needing 3 emotes to draw, aim & shoot a bow, but it always looked like common sense to everyone. I’m sure there’s more stuff like this which really can be confusing.

This. This should be written down so every new player who tries to use a bow isn’t yelled at.

As a note, I don’t think it should be given it’s own rule, but it should be used as an example under powergaming since that is what the rule would be. If we made it it’s own rule, we’d need to put up a rule about every other small incident with weapons and such, but as an example under powergaming would be helpful.

Can we please not have a transition event? Instead, could we just have a role-play post made by the LT saying how we went from Atlas to whatever this new map is going to be called? Also, can we vote on the name for the new map?

“They should use the sigil on the left, the one on the right is way too noisy and... Odd.” mutters Demetrius to his family.

“More fake news by the IEC. Parliament did not denounce the church, they denounced an act brought forward by the speaker. The church did not have a say in this bill, most things included in this bill are already done by local authorities. It also did not include what I had to say on this bill, making it seems the church pushed for this bill. We did not. This bill would’ve only made it harder to convert and invite the lost souls back into the light.” Said Archbishop Humpfrey.

"Bishop the title is merely to grab your attention, they even say that what was rejected is the act itself, the point of the out of context title is to get more eyes on the paper and it clearly works." explains Demetrius.

Demetrius makes his way into the town centre where a crowd had begun to gather, after a moment the Lord Palatine clears his throat to garner the attention.

“I am not one for elongated speeches when they are not needed, so I shall keep this short.

We are going to be allowing the Maer nominees the chance to give a speech to explain to you why the vote that you have should be given to them.

Once every nominee has given their speech, we shall commence the polling of the votes.”

After stating such, Demetrius takes a step away from where he stood and looked upon expectingly towards the section of the crowd, in which the nominees in-fact gathered.

If I don’t support I’ll have my birthright ripped from me through ancestry.com, so I have complete support in this individual!

Since a GM is taking a minute to get around to this, just to make it easier the Arberrang leadership’s collective discords are:

 

Gallic#9894 – Grand Elder ( NL )

Karebear#5153 – Elder

Wulfery#0433 – Council

PosidonX7#5724 – Council

MajesticOwyn#9240 – Council

 

we’d like it if we were all there, since I consider it beyond my right to make decisions without my council so I’d have to relay back to them anyway

As a note, only two can represent either side, so please inform us which two you wish to represent Arberrang.

I think what he means is like, if the road out of the cloud temple is facing one way or the other, it affects people’s choices. Though I assume that there is like, some sort of cross-roads within the cloud temple.
