    They're half that length, and have been for some time. 

    For the time we're keeping an eye on how herbs are distributed and making their way into the hands of players. We're taking the statistics with a grain of salt granted we're still placing some-onehundred more herbnodes down before we're going to call it finished for the time being. 


    I know I've stated this opinion to you in private but I want to reiterate it here. I see no benefit to making herbs a rare resource. Forcing the players to fight over a mechanic does nothing to add to roleplay, and I for one loathe the idea of being forced to participate in Vortex to buy them from the people who camp them. And I know for a fact that there are non-alchemists camping nodes in order to sell them. I am here to roleplay, not to spend hours running around the map in the hope that I might get an herb, nor am I keen on spending hours farming resources to sell in order to buy said herbs from campers. The point should be to encourage more roleplay, not to limit it by making herbs a scarce resource. Making them a scarcity is a solution to a made up problem.

  4. Blanche Thérèse stood to the side of her apartments in the Augustine as a parade of servants carted in numerous dress boxes as Theodora's collection arrived. Each one was handled with care and filed neatly into the Dowager-Duchesses extensive closet. With Margaux at her side, she spoke in a somber tone. "Theodora was one of my dearest friends. Her memory will live on through all of us, and through her sense of grace and style."

  5. A mild flurry was stirred up in the Cathalon apartments as servants carted the young family back into their chambers, after having spent some time away from the city. A particularly loyal handmaiden of the Dowager-Duchess offers the missive to Blanche, who reads it with a palm to her heart. "Oh, mon cherie, Vespira! You flatter me." she cooed, a curious Margaux wandering over to peer at the pamphlet. "Marie!" she called out to one of the maids, "We must send a bouquet to the Majordomo at once!"

  6. The Duchess-Dowager sat quietly in her apartments of the Augustine donning dark apparel, a blackened veil pulled down over her face. She sat on a finely upholstered sofa, each of her two children sat on either side of her. A slow stream of courtiers passed into and out of the apartments as the day drug onwards, leaving baskets and bundles of flowers, words of sympathy floating through the high ceilinged room as they went. She offered weak smiles and little nods, her young ones sniffling at her sides, but her attention was not in the room.

     

    Henry had been a fine husband. A good, honorable man. A friend, even. This was a day I always knew was coming, a day where he would leave a young wife and children behind. So why do I feel so.. angry?
