Overland

7/10

I haven't been often since their removal due to me playing on other servers, but this is one of the cons of having VAs removed. Nonetheless I agree with these points and people should be treating their new found freedoms well. I hope many people read and use this.

He also went on to see more places, yet he still never visited the Orcs, due to his fear of what they would do to him. He cringed at the thought of being beaten to death by an orc. Maehr tried many jobs, finding serving other people quite enjoyable. He tried being a farm hand, with little success. He spent the majority of his time practising his two passions, exploring the world and archery. He still did poetry as he enjoyed studying it, but after many years of traveling there became little to write about. The same thing seemed to happen with traveling, and he started to dream of finding a new land to discover, and to meet new people. He began to visit the druids more, finding out about their ways, he considered joining them, but that fantasy ended oneday on the roads. Attacked by a small group that what was left of the undead minions, Maehr arrived at the cloud temple bleeding. The monks were quick to help through, and as he was healed by them, he felt that he owed them his life, and decided it would be best to join them. But as he was beginning to open up to the prospect of doing it, the Asulon curse began and they were all whisked once again from the lands that everyone had grown used to. Maehr didn’t mind this trip as much as the first, except for the feeling of going further away from his home. Maehr began to travel both Elysium and Kalos, and seemed to hold off on his goals for joining the Druids or The Cloud Temple monks. He odd various job around the island of The Elves, and he wandered the islands in his spare time, until of course they left for the next continent. Maehr sailed abroad the Elven boat, hoping to get his goals back on track and become either a Druid or a Cloud Temple Monk. His journal was destroyed during the boat ride, except for the binding, which allowed for him to save one of his poems. He often stayed around the Cloud Temple or Leumalin in the hopes of becoming a monk, but nonetheless he still visited the main cities, and watched as the human cities changed drastically while the Holy Oren Empire Crumbled. By 1444, Maehr had decided to leave and travel some more, and to finally see if he can join one of the groups he has wanted to for a long time. The Final Years of Maehr's Life Maehr's Death His skills in poetry were not as good as he remembered, but he hoped it would mean something to someone. He looked out to the setting, fast on the approach to the horizon. He smiled one more time as he mumbles his last words. "Aeriel, please care for me." He looked towards the sun, a slight smile on his face. His eyes soon closed for the last time. Artwork

Short but brilliant guide, I like it.

Perhaps they could be found by finding renamed versions of the current plants in game, except that may not work well for the ones that aren't predominantly green, red or yellow. Anyway, this should be fun to find some poisonous plants, and maybe eat them by accident...

Tell us more about yourself (Biography): I was born in Dresden, Hanseti twenty-six years ago where I spent my early childhood years. I later moved to Solace as my parents wished to learn to farm there in a warmer area. There I met a Elf child by the name of Sirame who later became my friend, he introduced me to archery and we used to compete with each other. While I was there, I refused to farm while I lived there and spent my days carving wooden objects and some small amounts of hunting. Once I was about nine years old I moved back to Dresden and my Elvish and his family came as well due to them farming on our land. I tried to work as a lumberjack as my parents used too, but I found it hard to do and commonly I couldn't get a good cut on the tree. Shortly after we all moved to Elysium were I stayed around my parents house until I was old enough to be by myself. At the age of about seventeen I moved to Kalos with my friend. I did many odd jobs there such as hunting and working in inns. Then finally I moved to Anthos without any of my family or friends. Which brings me to today where currently, I live in Salvus, homeless and I hunt for a small amount of Minas. I, Devon Hunter Overland, hereby pledge my skills and my life to the advancement and support of the Nieric Order. I swear my loyalty to the Order and swear on the blood of my brothers and sisters, to serve faithfully and never leave the Order until the day I take my last breath. I shall abide by all the laws of the Order. If I violate these terms, so help me God.
