“The mad man must be reined in!” Declares the Governor-General

The Governor-General sends word to Mister Napier! ”To Mr. Napier, I have read your most recent interview published by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I must say it is a most intriguing piece. To have the first-hand account of one so close to the Order of the White Rose illuminates much of our history untold to us by modern scholars. Though their way of life has been passed down to us via oral tradition, seldom recorded are the personal lives of the Ordermen save what has been written of their saintly deeds. I would ask after Miss Tanith’s letter box, such that I might correspond with her directly. While you have provided amply with your interview, there is ever more I would inquire about my own genealogy and that of the Kaedreni people’s with Miss Tanith as she is an invaluable resource for the cultural enrichment of the province. Signed, Prince Henry Frederick Helvets, Governor-General of Kaedrin”

“That’s cute,” remarks the Governor-General, having already mastered the science of aeronautics in Novellen quite some time ago.

The Governor-General frowns at the quotations at least one of his brothers had concocted.

The Governor-General salutes yet another day bandit scum are put to the sword. OOC: But what if you were...?

An event does not need to occur under one’s own purview to be considered legitimate. Such a fallacy is akin to ignoring a mage’s ability because you did not see them train it, or that you cannot use a sword in PVP because you never saw how they were instructed with it. For reference, an event this past Saturday that boasted nearly a 100 participants pertained to this technology, being volatile materials being used as explosives contained within a mine.

Gunpowder weaponry HAS existed on this server for well over 400 years. From its implementation as cannons in Asulon to even being written into orcish lore during the time of the Four Brothers. The existence of gunpowder and its associated weaponry CANNOT be denied from a lore perspective. Even currently on the server, the Empire invests heavily into rediscovering this forcibly “lost” technology via various event lines and RP experimentation. The issue is that the implementation of the techlock bars our usage of these technologies to further develop them.

The server already plays host to a variety of themes and flavors of roleplay, why should we be denied firearms simply because it may clash with the views of others? We have roleplay acting out everything from the viking age to the industrialization, low to high fantasy, and Lord of the Rings to Warhammer, players have always been free to partake in the roleplay they’ve enjoyed most from this amalgamation of different media. Those who would prefer to distance themselves from gunpowder weaponry are free to do so in similar fashion to how the human community at large does not partake in magic. Any notions of firearm abuse should be dealt with in the same manner that abuses of magic are dealt with, as the firearms are already no more powerful than what is achievable via hurling fireballs, electrocution, and even reanimating the dead. Minecraft itself already allows for gunpowder weaponry that is far more potent than what is being asked for with firearms, with even a tiny few adjustments and a small resourcepack one can easily create the firearms that are sought after by a majority of the community.
