    No signature.

    No seal. 

     

    We are to suppose, I guess, that the author of the Nordland newspaper must have written this gossip column. 

     

    Many tales of this bloodshed end with 'The [child] or [mother] fled into their room" they emphasize the fear but not the fact that Orenia spared the women and children, only by the horror they felt of foreign armies on their soil. As war tends to do. 

     

    Let us look at this document for the strangeness that it is. 

     

    First, it bears no legal authority. It lacks the signature of the Duke or any signature at all, it's a vaguely worded and anonymous document from the 'Duchy'.  It doesn't even have a seal.  We can dismiss the document outright at this point as it has the official bearing of toilet parchment at this point; but let us examine its contents for but a moment. 

     

    Second, this is another attempt to label a piece of territory as 'civilian' , 'a farming duchy' and 'absolved' from conflict. There is no peered Noble in all of Almaris who promises to serve their liege and make no effort to raise their arms. The Sovereign Duchy of Elysium was at war and at arms against the Empire, it just happened to be unprepared. To be blunt; Horse Manure. Individuals can be innocent, not entire territories - shall Nordland like to submit any other territories deemed too important to them they'd prefer the Imperial Army not to attack?

     

    When an Army attacks your territory, it should not simply turn around because it met a light garrison or because the Keep claims it only 'partially' supports it's liege - we can assume a simple surrender and laying down of one arms would have equally resolved it with no bloodshed but can assume the defenders offered resistance.

     

    The attempts to contort this small strike, which duly captured an enemy vassal lord and caused the capitulation of an entire Duchy, as a massacre are nothing short of propaganda. 

     

    There are a sore lack of funeral rites for such a massacre, a typical measure of combat losses post conflict. There is a great deal of Nordland mother's weeping for their scared sons, which proves the only thing massacred on that day was Nordland morale. 

     

     

     


    Similarly, it shall seem that the writer is completely omitting their own seal or signature as well. Hypocrisy. 

    There is a sufficient enough verification in that the official declaration was stated with the Astrean crest, and this notice was placed up within the Kingdom of Norland with both ducal and national assent. 

    I presume, as this originals can only be found within the Kingdom of Norland, that you are able to transverse into Norland and her vassals just fine to peruse and give your responses here. 

    There is no attempt at all to subvert that the agricultural duchy is not the military strength of Norland and King Sven's warbands. This statement of affairs is a testimonial from Elysium, for Elysium and her allies to hear of its own perspectives on what happened on the late evening. 

    You may continue the spreading of falsehoods attempting to degrade the validities of the statements that were made, but the burden of proof also lies against you, it seems intrinsically suggestive of contempt and umbrage that your entire writing simply categorically denies the statement presented when our allies have arrived to verify the statement of accounts from myself, Liluth and Lex. Three out of the five that the marauders chose to attack. 

    It will continue to be my expressed position to draw in question on your identity and station to be publicly stated so that your attempts to degrade and cheapen a decision that the warband gave to deem those present with me, all wearing casual clothes and amidst a chatting to a child, to be present. No swords was drawn from my side within the elven minute that the Orenian marauders pointed a sword at me and declared the raid to happen. 

    Its shocking that you would also call in question on the topic of funeral rites, and you may verify that burials happened within Elysium including repairs conducted to places damaged in the raiding, as collaborated in the victory notice issued by Oren. 

    As you, may categorically spread lies against my community, I will continue to defend my people. I do not believe that non-combatants should be deemed permissible 'collateral damage' and deemed to be non-entites and be part of your repugnant version of putting lives as 'Norlandic Morales'. 

    If you wish to speak to me yourself, you may contact me by bird or address a neutral courier to my person. 

    Signed, 

    Eugeo de Astrea. 
    Leader of Elysium.

    Lunah Vanari had hugged her fiancee and son all night after the events that transpired an elven day ago, she had nearly lost them both to the murder hungry orenians, thankfully they had been able to find shelter from the wholesale salughter. Taking up the missive she swallows firmy then moves to her closet, taking out her clans sword. "Never again, will the slaughter of innocence go unanswered." she noted before taking the great sword from its resting place and heading back out of the house to help with the construction of new defences. "Iron From ice."


    Amidst the hustle and bustle of logs being raised as the palisades continued to be raised in the northern remote quadrants of Elysium, Duke Eugeo would glance back to the Vanari aiding and championing the efforts for it alongside many others. His lips pursed as he states to her in response to southern based rumors. 

    "All present were dressed in their casual clothes, and sweets was being presented to a child, Lex, during the time of the attack. There was no option for any Elysian to opt not to fight or flee. Lex himself, a child, was forced by the marauders to join the fight, not by his own accord at all. As the Orenians stated themselves in attempting to torch Elysium in their victory statement, it was a wholesale attack on the town"

    Lunah paused in the streets of Elysium as the new was shouted by the town crier. Blinking a few times she let out a soft sigh muttering under her breath, "Now who will teach me about orc customs." she mumbles softly then blinks again, "And who will be the new Rex?"

     

    Eugeo, sighing gently as he receives the missive from his orcish friends and allies would sigh gently in turn. Mumbling a prayer in the soul of the deceased Rex in finding his soul cherished by the spirits. He would then glance to Lunah, informing her in turn. "Whomever it may be, Krugmar will be forever embodied by Rex Zhot’Rax contributions to his people and community. He will be missed, as he is, here in Elysium" 

  12. The Duke of Elysium would prepare his coat, nodding to himself as he nodded singularly to Saki. 

    " I will be more than happy to walk you down the Aisle, it is my honor to do so" 

    His remarks finished, he would smile, being quite excited for the wedding!

    As a flower thou wither in the absence of light
    With no rays and no heed where the agony hides
    When the bloom is no longer a forthcoming bright
    And the singing is now not a prayer, but cry
    In the wisdom and bravery thou reckon the faith
    And the spirit takes over misdeeds that were made
    As a flower thou wither in the absence of light
    Though thy soul is remembered, embodying might
    You cannot control everything, but you can at least play the odds


    The Astrean banner falters...

     

    As the embers of the auburn lights of the rolling wheat fields of Ducal Elysium burns bright, casualties strewn on the icy lake served as a scorching reminder of the rout of the few Rangers and Norlandic militia men that battled against a cohort of marauders and a voidal mage. A seeming continuation of the sullen nature of battle and contest which defined the histories of the descendants across constant worlds. War and conflict never changes: a reality that permeates through the fabrics of the rise and fall of civilizations. 

    Despite so, in defeat, stood lessons to be learned, of tactics and training for those that remained. Of practice and commandery. There were souls to consider, and protect. It was a vicious, damning cycle of responsibilities. The fundamentals had always stood to be seen for all eternity, a community that fails to protect its own, collapses on its seams. Peril can never be ignored.

    Eugeo hoisted and placed down his norlandic helm in turn, a devastated look on his features as he looked to Lunar Vanari with an exasperated sigh escaping his person.  His heart mirrored the figure by the Elysium dock, her sloped shoulders made a mournful line that sharply contrasted with the backdrop that saw a few dots of the trading ships that traded with Elysium in the horizon. As soft, freezing waves rolled onto the rocky shores, there was a trepidation in the air as the Duke apologised to the Vanari chieftess in a melancholic circumstance. 

     

    Such senseless brutality and violence befell the scene that the two surviving combatants would encounter, but optimism would have to happen. The Duke nodded singularly to the Vanari and lit a torch in his saunter as Elysium marked the defeat with a cry of unity and solidarity in the community to strengthen its combatants. 
    Eugeo had stared into the abyss, it stared back:
    Woe to the abyss of giving up. 

     

    As if tuned to Elysium’s sense of revival, the Astrean banners gently swayed in reverence, an air of resistance to them:
    The spirit of Elysium was not in the wars fought, lost, and bled by, but in her people. This, of course, didn’t mean they would turn a blind eye to any neerdowell or foreign invader. Elysium would be strengthened by her people, for her people and their rights to defend their homes, loved ones, and livelihood.
     


     

    Some flowers withered in the absence of light, while others learned to bloom in its absence. 
    Elysium would create its own light to thrive in. 

     

    We are a torch against the night.

    Picture taken by Mason! 


    Within the cradle of Norlandic lands, lies the swirling, icy freshwaters that many tributaries of the northern wilds feed into. It is an ancient place which thrives in wildlife and has served dutifully for the colonists of Nyrheim which aptly founded their capital besides the bountiful waters.

    Though, the newcomers to Almaris have stirred dangers from the deep, where ancient subterranean caves have felt the imbalance within the environs of the area, culminating in vicious, sufferable assaults all across the coastline that has seen many in the Kingdom of Norland, hurt and wounded.

    Year 17 of the Second Age, has witnessed yet another momentous battle that involved even brave warriors from Clan Lur of Krugmar tested their valor and strength to great success against a ferocious serpentine creature that intrepid uruks such as Turge’Ram wrestle and defeat the creature with conviction, aided no kind by those like Galenus Amaricius , Yarrow , Kaja and Levian’Tol Grandaxe and numerous others that aided well.


    Though. The adventuring spirit and the mettle of battle can never really be quelled so simply, for more dangers seem to lurk and now, direct danger would arise to the coastal settlements like Varhelm and Elysium. It all came back to the question, from mysterious blizzards and deadly attacks out in the waters.


    What lurks in Lake Eada?

  15. You've nothing to apologize on. 

    You're a beloved member of the community and your friends here, actual ones, care for you. 

    See you soon. If you are happy to return to a community that appreciates you. 

  16. Hi! 

    Vassal leader of Norland_Elysium here, just to clarify, the ferry plugin has been launched through January and goodness, it has had its struggles. It literally broke, across entire days. Baffling and frustrating the community and visitors alike as to waiting there for some time pointlessly. Also, I believe that the ferry existed before the concept of the Elysium Vassal even materialized, meaning it was a ferry-distance closer that was in essence, given by staff management to close the additional 3 minutes walk along the icy lake from North Hub than the current accusations with demerit that its a ferry for the Elysium vassal. In the same merit, the vassal of Malinor(Formerly the land was used for Blazenguard) for Haelunor is similar situated at their ferry point as its a logical vassal location similar to Elysium was.  

    I'd go on the record and throw full support in vassals of nations receiving the similar options of purchasing fast travels. I'd like to believe it has majority lotc community support as well, on removing the ferry, or as some in the thread has focused upon, the Elysium Ferry, it will be up to the staff decision makers on the topic-Though, I think the focus should remain strictly on vassal settlements being allowed into the fast travel system as the main focus.  I think its essential for the health of nations to have similarly active subcultures and vassals. It will be best for the staff decision makers that decided on the existing ferries to have it clarified than players of different nation communities fighting and tainting an announcement thread for a rather promising plugin and service in bettering the lotc experience for players. 

    It's a win and step in the right direction for the current World Team and Tech Team. Let's give them that appreciation and support.
