Wyvernbane

Salem stepped into the Keep of Sunbreak, pacing into the great hall. He would pause, pulling the letter he found pinned to the wall free. As he read, he would find himself nodding along. Carefully, he would return the letter to its place, smiling, "Those of us who devote our lives inevitably find ourselves needing to roam. May your travels glow with the guidance of the Lord of Sunlight, Sister."

To those that remained in the Grove as the others boarded their vessels to move into a new realm, they might see a strange creature, one not previously seen among the brush. An ancient, decrepit squirrel wandered through the undergrowth, albino and white as snow. To those that attempted to commune with it, he would have no words, no sentences- except one. "Guide owl Home." The great-great-great-great-great grandchild of a squirrel that once graced the figure of the Owl would sit nearby, watching Taynei, Owl, and the others ready themselves. It would follow them up from the Undergrove to the Fae Ring, meandering across the stone and wooden steps with the same slowness of an old man. It slowly climbed a small tree, more a bush really, near the Fae Circle, its red eyes blinking hard with each bright flash of green. When the deed was done, it turned slowly as the waves of Druidic Energies crashed over the realm of Arcas. ~~~~ Over the coming days and weeks, the abandoned Grove would be the home of a growing number of squirrels. Much like the Druids who felt the pulse of pure agony, these squirrels mourned. Though there were no eyes to see, no ears to hear, none except those of the Aspects themselves, these creatures gathered. Perhaps some working of a soul long passed through into the Eternal Forest, they cautiously wandered into the Fae Ring where Owl passed on. They filled it, day after day, with all sorts of seeds- pinecones, acorns, sweetgums, samaras, pods, and nuts. The pile grew and grew until even the mushrooms composing the circle were hidden beneath them. At last, the albino squirrel emerged once more, leading a small pack of others that carried a long lost length of wood. After centuries separated from its master, the length of a long-dead Mother Tree branch would be dead itself. An unpolished emerald sat still clasped in a claw-like vice at the top of this stick, the length covered in brown and shriveled vines. The elder squirrel would seem to direct the others to the pile, and after several moments of struggle, the Staff of the Squirrel Druid, lost to the ages yet maintained by a line of squirrels still in some ways bound to the realm beyond, was placed within the last mortal destination of the Owl Druid. An eternal monument to her memory. Blessed be. ~~~

Hello! I’ve been gone off the serve for a little bit, and while I was gone I deleted an email account associated with my old forum account. (which the profile name is currently ‘Inactive Account’. I also seem to have forgotten the password, and without the email, have no way of recovering the account. The account has over 5 years of content, rep, and association with myself contained within it, so I’d like it back. If any admin/FM/whoever deals with this stuff now could help be recover it, that would be greatly appreciated!

You know those memes that are absolute **** in the first place, and were never funny? Yeah this is one of those. Let it die, for God's sake.

yep, totally not a new actor.. +1

You and I have been playing on a very different server, then. There is no such thing as a freebuild ghost town thus far. I've never not seen anyone RPing at the crossroads. The cities? I have warp. I go around to those cities all the time. I've seen maybe three people. "Shitty OOC bullshit protection", eh? How about nation protection? Nations have been around as long as they have because they are wired into the server as immortal. I don't know if you played the last two maps, but nations failed. Both maps, they failed to provide RP. I understand partially your hesitance to open freebuild to unlimited protection. I agree. But the idea of "no raid cap and unlimited destruction" will only lead to OOC toxicity. If we're going to do anything even remotely close to that, then settlements that can sustain activity should be given the opportunity to receive protection. The answer, however, is not to say "**** freebuild m-muh nations must continue". Instead, work to improve your nation so that you can actually sustain activity. Freebuild thus far has brought back a ton of old players who missed the system. By spouting off that it is a cancer to the server, you're immediately driving players away. If you want more RP, a good start is to have more RPers, not try to force everyone into an area they hate.

Useless x2. Never used them.

A certain, grizzled old squirrel would follow Taynuel back to Axios, as it had followed and watched all this time.

Yes please

The Wyvernbane would pause at the notice, reading over the contents with a look of shock. He would pull a small sheet of paper from his satchel, scribbling out a response to pin next to the first notice in charcoal. It would read, "If the reward is also granted for his capture and turning over to Aeldinic forces for his execution, I will prepare a team."

Captain America

You get my point though. More-so just making it punishable.

Which I did. In my personal opinion, keep the system as if with a few added rules. Make it bannable to not properly RP a bird. They can still be sent and all that, just actually have to RP it. With all these plugins and ****, they will be broken 100% of the time. We just saw our own coder saying they don't want to do it. And if we remove it outright? Messengers would pretty much never be used and we'd practically just be expanding the problem than fixing it.

https://gyazo.com/46badbdb6088c9b4f6dda5f45bf422ee Is something along this line still allowed? Notifying an order or something going on, like the pillar example, through a set of owls that were RPly given by a druid and have an RP belfry in the keep

Personally in my biased opinion, I'd like to see the orders receive their own lands- even if a small plot. However, this doesn't have to be server dictated- for example, the orders could all play politics and gain land within a pre-existing nation. However, I do agree with Jack's point- the orders (in most cases) don't hang around together in a city and roleplay, because the majority of our RP comes from interactions with spooks. We don't get that inside our respective keeps- we get that from going outside. At least in the Paladin's case, the base/region has always acted more as a staging ground for crusades, place to train students one-on-one, and a place to keep our connection pool (chancery). My last point relates back to the first, though- we don't "require" staff granted regions to exist. The politics of getting land within a nation is very plausible, as is our applying for a guild charter once 6.0 is actually launched. What is NOT plausible at the moment, though, is likely a collective of the three main orders. Farryn and Jallentime pretty accurately described the political scene- we aren't very willing to work with each other at the moment. I agree with Farryn that we should let RP fall as it may, and if we're granted land then great.

The Wyvernbane would pace by one of the advertisements in his many travels, halting to read its contents. He'd tilt his head a bit, ripping the notice off the tree it was nailed to and pacing off. As he continued down the road, he would draw his sword silently, running it through one of the messenger ghouls as he went.

Hello, denizens of Axios. I need two skins made; 1k per request. If the skinner would like to discuss a higher payment, I'd be open to that depending on how difficult they prove. The skins only need to be the outifts- I don't need a head for them. Anywho, here are my two requests. 1. My first request is an armor set based off these two images. [1] [2] All I need made is the version of the skin with the helmet- I can remove the helmet and put the other head on it myself. This is likely the most difficult of the two requests, so if needed I can certainly pay a bit more. 2. My second request is a piece of pretty basic casual clothing based on this image. [1] Again, I only need the head. You can leave the color of the skin blank too and I can do that edit myself. I believe this skin only really needs 1k for it, but talk to me if it caused you any major difficulties. My Discord is Conspirator_#3881. Post on this topic and send me a PM on discord if you'd like to do one of my requests. Thanks you guys! (forgot to put this in original post, but send over some examples of ya work too c:)
