From Horik Volik to Torvald Volik, the lineage of Voliks just wonder if they are doomed to be left out of history like the clowns they are 🤡

Torvald would grin at the memory of burning down a significant portion of the wildling fleet as he recovered from his wounds in a medical tent. “Fockin’ bastards.”

Death is always near, and this life is a blessing
Squander not your days, lest you soon forget
You can die a million ways; what will be your epithet?

Love this part man. Keep up the good work.

I don’t know ya personally AlmondTree but I'd like to thank you for everything you’ve done in fighting against the coronavirus as a nurse, and I wish the speediest of recoveries mate. The LotC community is with you.

Yes. More crude weapons for sure like sparking a flint on the gun to shoot it and the possibility of it not working. If this ends up being the case then bullet proof vests or some type of armor that reduces the damage of a bullet should be added as well. This could bring a bunch of new roleplay and events. IRL firearms were made around the 14^th century so it isn’t too modern either. Gun stores and how guns are manufactured and bought would be an interesting thing to tackle as well, permits and all that.

Bulletproof vests? You know, the invention from the 1960s? If guns are added, then they are most likely to be primitive, or at most muskets. Don’t think we’re at the level of bulletproof vests (Nor do I want us to be) mate.

I don’t think they should. If you have a pre-loaded flintlock, even against a ready opponent, it would feasibly take one emote to draw and shoot, and being highly lethal. I saw something about Crossbows are already in, why not musket? But the thing with firearms is that they are concealable, faster projectile speed, and can deal more with armor because of their higher speed and lower surface area. They just seem to be OP, like why would anyone learn, say, evoc magic for combat when that takes multiple emotes, when you could just draw a gun and shoot, killing most people and certainly incapacitating nearly everything you draw on. I’d even think it could lead to less sword type RP, as it would just make more sense to use, train, and carry the superior weapon, effectively changing the general feel of RP on the server.

I believe they have made it against the rules to have a pre-loaded firearm in the lore proposal, but cannot verify this. I too am worried about the concern brought out in the last sentence you’ve made, but I am sure someone who is pro guns on the server would argue that the guns aren’t that op since you can’t preload them yada yada so this wouldn’t be the case. I think it would have to be seen out in practice, as speculation can only go so far, however practice may still lead to that permanent change in rp if they are too op, which would still hurt the feel of the server.

I hope this indecisive paragraph did something lmao

pick whatever century of the medieval era you like, and explain how literally any nation/culture/group in LOTC are like it at all. only humans were ever vaguely medieval, and they haven’t been for a long ass time. 

As I said, it’s down to preference, which is built from perception and experience. My perspective and experiences on LOTC have provided a relatively early medieval lotr fantasy vibe, which I enjoy, and as such, it is my preference for a ‘lotr early medieval fantasy’ feel. That is my personal opinion, and I understand it is not shared by others, but I think it’s fair to let people express their opinions on this topic, as this is the objective of the post after all.

All of you need to grab google and start reading on what constitutes an actual Medieval Fantasy, why Fantasy as a genre has medieval aesthetics as a staple, how many mainstream fantasy role-play systems include firearms, and when firearms were first introduced in the west altogether.

 

Gunpowder Artillery is a medieval technology. It was introduced in the 13^th century in Europe in the form of siege cannons and hand-held cannons, and later matchlock rifles. The middle ages ended in the mid to late 15^th century. It is perfectly consistent with a “Medieval Vibe”. What you are all trying to argue is that you don’t personally want guns in the setting because you don’t like them and because you prefer an earlier medieval aesthetic (reminder that the Middle Ages lasted 10 centuries), and there’s nothing wrong with that. But please, stop perpetuating this ludicrous notion that firearms break the themes of the server simply because you are incognizant about the genre and tropes intrinsic to it, or choose to ignore the reality that they are compatible with the Medieval themes, even if they were only a part of it towards the end in our world’s history.

Sorry let me correct myself... the medievalish fantasy lotr vibe*. And how did you know that I did not refer to an earlier period in the 10 centures of the medieval period when I said medievalish vibe? At the end of the day, its down to preference to what part of medieval fantasy you enjoy rping, and I respect that. There’s no need to call me incognizant simply because I was less than imaculate with detail in my post, I just had a lot to do so I couldn’t write a lot.

Server is long passed medieval times, humans have reached enlightenment. 

NEVER!! this is HERESY!!!

No guns, because they would ruin the medievalish vibe. Already been stated but I thought I'd restate it. Also, cannons would be aight.

Torvald would skim through the study made by Celestine, and would smile at its immaculate detail.

Hadvar reads the missive, throwing the remains into the dirt. He shakes his head with a sigh, “This is not the child of Ser Stefan, this is a traitor and was never strong enough to be an Onfroi. Good riddance.” He says as he returns to his bedstead, still incredibly ill. Looking up to his friends, his guards, and the other members of the Onfroi family he states, “I will return, and they will pay.” As he falls asleep, dreaming of the Battle of Adria ((24vs37)).

“Ye made a damn good las’ stand lass.” Horik Volik would say upon welcoming her into the Seven Skies.

"Errrr sh*t...." he whistles suspiciously as he walks away from the news which he should have prevented, being the pope's guard and all.

Nice ***, deserves LT. +1

[Press f to pay respects]

Horik would nod with great approval of the King's speech, giving a cheer of pride and a northern salute by pounding his chest. "Now that's a King I vould die fer anyday." He would then walk off to his duties.

Saxony

Stroking his beard thoroughly, Horsa would listen to his to the advice of his councillors on the plans of the village. Finally the meeting would end and ale would be brought to the table for the participants of the meeting to scoff down their dry mouths.

“Lads, we have done us well this day. I feel if we carry on in such ambitiousness and the gods on  our side, we shall rule these lands. To Saxony!” cheered Horsa.

“To Saxony!” the rest of the council would respond.

Soon they would return to their homes for a good night’s sleep, for sleep and good rest would be required for the next day’s preparations. Chieftain Horsa would have to be smart and wise to plan his next steps wisely, for the good of the village; for the good of Saxony.

Actions:

-Lumberjacks accompanied with LESS of the milital warband would be sent out to cut down and replant trees for more lumber for future projects (2 AP)

-The Farms would be regulated by the farmers to make sure all would be well (1 AP)

-A quarry would begin its construction(1 AP)

Saxony

A smile would form on Horsa's face as his town thrives and his population has a great surplus. Clearly the gods had favored his people for their worship to them, and his pride increased massively. Still, he couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead for his people and what great obstacles should bar his way to prosperity. He knew only one thing; through perseverance, intelligence and hard work, his tribe would succeed.

Saxony

A roar of laughter would emerge from the great hall of Chieftain Horsa's home, as Horsa and his advisers would be telling of great tales while drinking magnificently brewed ale. They had gathered in celebration of their newly established village in Britannia and all would have mighty proud looks on their faces as they enjoyed their festivities. Indeed the whole town would be celebrating one way or another as great opportunities  seemed to be just around the corner. The next day, Horsa and his advisers would gather again in that same hall to discuss  plans for the village. Firstly, lumberjacks accompanied by some of the militial warband would be sent out to gather wood from the surrounding forests and to make sure they replanted the trees they cut down. Secondly, the farms would be ordered to be put to full use for a good harvest and a market would begin its construction.

Short Backstory: Horsa alighted on the eastern shores along with his brother, Hengist, and set up a Village next to Hengist's town so they could easily stay in contact. Horsa, Chieftain of his tribe, would begin establishing his Saxon village with its norse pagan culture and would wed a wife named Ardith, a good old saxon woman. A smart, jolly, active, and fearsome young lad Horsa was and he would rule his village to prosperous opportunities with his advisors, Hengist, his wife, and his body guard and good friend Axlgrand at his side who had sworn to a vow of silence. With Saxon support from Hengist and the homeland, how could he be stopped?
