Issue: The Lore team has very often proved completely unwilling (or downright against) to work with player bases to even a minimal extent when their lore is in tatters with no functional components. (Even when their own failings in their own team produced such.) [Re: Runesmithing/Dwarven Lore in general]. Its very clear that the lore team as it has been structured for about one year has not be capable of handling racial/subracial lore. We can all clearly remember when the lore team quite literally dwarven history and its racial magics with massive failures to implement even a single dungeon past novermber 2014, ultimately leaving the throne of Urguan himself destroyed and the build never even completed. Ultimately, the dwarves just had to rely upon what Dizzy did at the time as a ET manager (and eventually just a GM.) As such, its my firm belief that player bases themselves should get a say in their own histories and contribute the ''communal storytelling'' that is role playing. Indeed, the focus of the lore team should be writing lore relevant to the player bases themselves rather than of pandering to smaller magic groups. Instead of expanding the original lore the team just focuses on progressing a story like its some sort of book about the next cool character individual character (that will invevitably be played by a GM.) I'm fairly sure a lot of people are tired of you just making stuff specifically relating to the new flavor of aenguldaemon/dark nasty. They would prefer to have lore relevant to their characters own histories and stories. Many nations have large player bases who would love to contribute and interact with their own histories but are forced to just go "Oh look, Gazardiel/Xan/Taharie/The Wraiths/The blood mages did some magical achievement/defeated a bad guy/good guy." or "This person gained x magical ability because their aenguldaemon said they needed it to fight the big bad guy." And where do the nations stand in that? "Turn up to this pve event and watch our cool magical group we pander to do some rp while you click mobs."

While I understand I shouldn't post as a nation leader I do have a point to make as a member of the privy of Oren. Narthok's dwarven aligned group do not maintain the initiative in the war, as the Orenian forces have won all battles before hand. As such, they shouldn't be able to warclaim the empire until they do win the initiative.

Uiron encounters this on a nice walk. He seems to be absolutely perplexed. "Do elaborate stranger, what confuses you about our identity compared with the High Elves?"

I think the Fm's should be the only ones who moderate the forums because frankly, you guys are really professional about it. Good team +1

"As much as you need for 5 minas a ingot." - Vespasian.

Insert Lori Lorejew and see if he's killed by angry midgets.

"Divide and Conquer." Remarks Vespasian, as he hears the news.

So simply speaking once a nation leader abdicates the new one is ensured to get 90% of the resources and not be left poor as everything is stolen? Good!

"Oh. I feel lonely now." Says Lori. "Just kidding."

There does need to be some sort of rule implimented to limit the amount of RP happening in these areas however.

A letter is sent to the enterprising individual. "The Kormar Armoury can provide upwards of 100 sets of iron armour per stone week if provided with the materials to do so, producing tools should be childs play. All impliments provided will be produced at a high (Aengelic) standard. Send a letter forward detailing your full request for pricing. - Ekran Yoran eron Kormar."

How many minas?

(Hope your surgery goes well!)

While not directly posing a question Lori listens in while seemingly reading a thick tome at the tea house. A certain statement in the most recent conversation Laethis has definitely catches the dwarf's attention. He promptly goes to scribble in his notes to find a chance to converse with the fellow in the future.

From underneath the Library counter's stonework a raspy elven voice screams from its cubbyhole. "The conclave rises!!!" It is then promptly beaten by whoever feeds the creature.
