  1. Hey, thanks to everyone who has left feedback.

    Regarding the whole bias accusations, all I can really say is that I've attempted to keep any bias in any of the wiki pages I wrote to a minimal. As I've said before on the wiki discussion pages, I'm more than happy to work with people (on and off the wiki team) to reduce any possible bias, as I only really know one side of the story in most cases.

    In regards to what Pyro said, perhaps you could elaborate? I've worked very hard to improve the human side of the wiki, and I was unaware that anyone stopped bothering with the wiki simply because I wrote a few pages.

    What is your timezone?: GMT

     

    How do you wish to work on the wiki? (Writing, updating lore, etc): Would like to write interesting and informative information on significant human rp events, and write bios for any relevant human characters. 

     

    Have you worked on the, or any wiki before?: Yes, for I think roughly a year.

     

    Which lore are you most familiar with?: Human lore, I’m honestly not very clued up on much else.

     

    Please provide an example of a wiki page you are not satisfied with and list aspects that could be improved:

    https://wikia.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Battle_of_Dogger_Bay

    This page could be improved by including an intro, explaining the reasons for why the battle occurred etc. Adding detail as to what actually happened during the battle would also improve the page, though the basics including factions and the result of the battle are listed.

     

    Please provide an example of a wiki page you see as a model example and list your reasoning:

    https://wikia.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=John_I,_Holy_Orenian_Emperor

    This page has an incredible amount of detail, and is very well structured. The page contains relevant pictures/paintings and gives a player a good understanding of John’s life and the history during that time.

     

    Please showcase your abilities with either:

    A.  A short writing on the subject of your choosing.

    B.  An example of an 'other' (Already completed wiki pages are a plus!)

  6. I really dislike this. Why would people come to the Asul docks with 4 nations/groups (two I haven't heard of before) whilst the other has like what, 12? Courland has already seen a drastic decrease in rp because of this, can you at least join these fast travel hubs so that it's fair for every nation? I'm also confused as to why so many minor settlements have fast travels. Metterden? You can take the north ft.

  7. I would like a Skype group set up, however considering this is a rebellion, of a small county, we have the right to insta-siege the fortress. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what was going to happen during the coalition war when we took control of Ostwick, even though it was a huge ass fortress. On top of that, we won't be accepting allies. This is an internal rebellion, you are surrounded by the greyspine to your south and the duchy of Akovia to your north, and... we will not be accepting /any/ one day alts https://gyazo.com/7cb1708bf813fb45448a6aea018f95f5   that is your region list, we're not prepared to fight oren/haense again as per usual, we're gona be sticking with realistic rp and only allowing those on the region list, who probably rp in metterdern, to help in the defence

  8. A Royal Response to the ‘Act of Annexation, 1611’  

    5th of Malin’s Welcome, 1611

     

    The hostile annexation undertaken by the House Ruthern on the House Roswell are hereby declared illegal by the Crown. The House Ruthern’s ownership and ruling of the County of Istria is hereby declared illegitimate. The House Roswell acted without the approval or consent of the Crown or the Grand Duke of Akovia, in pursuit of their own interests, thusly this response is formally issued.

     

    Given the transgressions by the House Ruthern on the House Roswell and by extent, the Grand Duchy of Akovia and the Crown, the following terms of surrender are hereby issued by the Crown, with the consultation of His Grace, the Grand Duke of Akovia, to the House Ruthern.

     

    • The House Ruthern will surrender all lands and titles gained by their transgressions against the House of Roswell.

    • The House Ruthern will cease their aggressions against the Grand Duchy of Akovia and by extent, the Crown.

    • The House Ruthern shall be allowed to retain their current titles and lands with exemption of the titles and lands formerly possessed by the House Roswell.

    • The House Ruthern shall pay a sum of 7,000 minas to his Grace, the Grand Duke of the Akovia.

    • The House Ruthern shall issue a formal apology for their crimes to the House Roswell, the Grand Duchy of Akovia and the Crown.

     

    The Crown hereby issues the County of Istria and all of its lands to his Grace, the Grand Duke of Akovia for him to, at a further date, issue to whom he see’s fit, in accordance with the laws and interests of the Kingdom of Courland.

     

    Should the House Ruthern fail to comply with these generous terms of revocation, the House Ruthern shall be branded as traitors to the realm and rebels. Thusly, they shall be met with whatever means necessary in securing the lands and titles of the Kingdom of Courland.

    Signed,

     

    HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Joseph Alexander Staunton, King of Courland, Hanseti, Ruska, Duke of Eastbourne, Courland, Eruthos, the Heartlands, Frederica, Cascadia, Count of Aleksandria, Riga, Westmark, Beauclair, Sundholt, Wett and Eastmark, Lord of Mt.

    Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”

    The news came upon the men of Courland as a hot knife, seering the hearts and wills of all that it came to learn of it. The great Westward Kingdom had fallen, the undead scourge pouring into Bastion, the slaughter of the innocents there, and the fall of the Westerlands. As letters still came, with descriptions of the horror and merciless pillage of these lands, did the sky above Aleksandria become darkened from the sheer number of birds soaring across the warm summer air. Each bearing the same message, sealed in the same wax, and stamped with the Privy seal of King Joseph Staunton.

     

    Over the skies of the Citadel of Acael, Taliyna’maehr, Al’Khaleed, San’Torr, Linandria, the Rexdom, and Metz did the birds fly, while others passed through the tunnels of Kal’Omith. Each finding their way to the elven, dwarven, Orcish and human rulers, their message simple:

     

    “A call to arms, the undead have come”

     

    And with each bird sent, did a host of Men, Elves, and Dwarves come. Each bearing the letter destined for them, and each dressed in the splendid and fearsome regalia of war.

    The throne room filling ever more with each passing moment, until the very walls of the castle groaned under the sheer might of the regal attendance.

     

    Rising from his throne, the fine autumn green and midnight black of his robes dancing through the movement, did King Joseph Staunton face the magnificent assembly. His action bringing the assembled Royalty, Nobility, and Gentry of the realms to an idyllic quiet.

     

    Through this, did the young King speak,

     

    “Those who stand here before me, with the might and the will of the mighty Kingdoms of this world, hear my call. A threat has come unto our great Kingdoms, lands, peoples, and very children. The Undead have risen, their corrupt and foul presence being held back no longer!

     

    The Westerlands has fallen to this threat with Bastion claimed by these monsters, even as the defenders still breathed did the city come to an end. So hear me this day!

     

    Fakhri Kharadeen, Ikur Seregon,  Arthur Horen, Aelthir Tundrak, Odo d’Amaury, Bastion Ireheart, Rex Gurak'Yar, Peter Sigismund, Tristin Tresery, I call on you and your noble vassals. Join with my family once more, to end this threat as we have done to the others.”

     

    And as the roar of approval swept through the air of Aleksandria, did the hammering of armour and sharpening of swords drown it out.

     

    The cleansing of the Westerlands had come.

    Joseph and Maria.jpg



     

    -Joseph Alexander and Marie Therese Circa; 1609


     

    With the marital union of Joseph I of Courland and Maria Theresa of Lotharingia, the union of two Kingdoms - that of Courland and Lotharingia - are hereby placed into full-effect post-haste. The following terms are thusly placed between the rightful Monarchs of both nations, and are expected to be upheld mutually by each individual party:

     

    From hereon, both Kingdoms shall;

    • Accept a call to arms from one another regarding wars of both offensive and defensive nature, wars of an offensive nature not used in treacherous disrespect of past treaties.

    • For all conflicts concerning the state, a dialogue will be opened most immediately to address any issue to arise from therein.

    • Coordinate efforts to thwart any attempt against the rightful rule of either Kingdom, and affirm the support the legal ruler in either land.

    • Provide delegates whence called upon on issues abroad, showing solidarity on issues of foreign policy.

    • Affirm their determination to undermine Imperial ambitions in which these nations may be forced to confront, and do so with unmatched ardour.

     

    Our history repeats itself, as the ambition crumbles in the face of comradery. May this be declared with pride to these nations peoples, and have said pride be mutual to those that receive these words.

     

    Signed;

    HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Joseph Alexander Staunton, King of Courland, Hanseti, Ruska, Duke of Eastbourne, Courland, Eruthos, the Heartlands, Frederica, Cascadia, Count of Aleksandria, Riga, Westmark, Beauclair, Sundholt, Wett and Eastmark, Lord of Mt.

  11. ROYAL LETTERS FOR THE BARONY OF RELOURIA

     

    7th of the Sun’s Smile, 1609

     

     


     

     

     

    Issued and Confirmed by His Majesty the King Joseph Alexander Staunton of Courland.

     

    In recognition of loyal vassalage and service to the Crown, we choose to reward the honorable Jacques  of House Halcourt de Vasile  with the Baron’s title & lands of Relouria, nestled in the south-eastern County of Trier -  on which his tribe and all Relourian men alike may choose to settle once again. Whilst endowed certain autonomy, all vassals must maintain the King’s peace and follow the laws of his country. The title of Baron of Relouria will be one House Halcourt de Vasile and their legitimate issue shall hold for the duration of their existence. In return for their loyal service, the Crown does also promise to enforce the laws of succession decided upon by the House of Halcourt de Vasile, and protect them from all threats, both domestic and foreign in nature.

     


     

     

    With Knowledge Comes Power,

     

    Signed,

     

    HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, Joseph Staunton, King of Courland, Hanseti, Ruska, Duke of Eastbourne, Courland, Eruthos, the Heartlands, Frederica, Cascadia, Count of Aleksandria, Riga, Westmark, Beauclair, Sundholt, Wett and Eastmark, Lord of Mt. St. Tobias, the Rightful Protector of the Heartlanders and the Highlanders
