"Can we go?! Can we go?" The goddaughter of Renilde I would squeal to her parents (and godmother) upon spotting the invitation; bouncing up and down upon her stool near the campfire with excitement as she tugged on her mother's sleeve. "I know Hauchpapej said people from Haense aren't nice, but I've never been to a wedding before... And maybe we could find Yves a lady there, too!"

@tilly@EmiliainWonderland@Chorale__@Cloutfather_

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, fille." the aging Marquis agreed, his orbs floating then to Renilde, "We'd ought to go, non?"

sigh ok

i cannot tell if this is satire

The Chanzlè of the Petra, Sir Laurens, rebukes this missive. “You shall not kill our people nor plunder the villages of our Esteemed Peers.” He looks to the Archduchess, scoffing thereafter. “The ONLY trial to be had will be chaired by you, Renilde — their Liege. And whoever you wish to invite to participate and serve justice.” He crumbled the missive up and tossed it into the fire.

Application for the whitelist AND for an elf? No thank you..

The Chanzlè Sir Laurens muttered, “Interesting - I shall look forward to attending then. . .”

The Chanzlè of the Petra, Sir Laurens, began assisting in setting up the trial that would be had for their Redclyfian friends. “Someone go get Renilde! All that woman does is sleep!”

“I’ll **** with this. Laurens!!!!” She hollered, uttering in quiet tones for him to get together the riverfolk with their torches and pitchforks. 
 

@Chorale__

“I was just thinking the same thing!” The Knight uttered, pitching the last tent on Camp Petra with Prince Paul Alexander and Edmund Hope. The Chanzlè quickly ushered off with his attendant to a small stool in the square of Camp, “Hear ye! Hear ye! . . .” He announced from above.

Unfortunately they did disable beta for the transitional period because we needed room to load all the files for the new map

FYI, the Deep Dark is still vyable for rp! The SMP is /anarchy/ for a reason.

IMO it should be flipped, anarchy in the dark scary place and RP on the fields of daisies 

Just now, The Journalist said:

Fr, I just made a cute lil' farm (Which is something I couldn't do in ACTUAL HELL btw) and within 10 minutes our peaceful camp got raided by freaks.

your farm was so cute. 

No why we love the SMP map

just not the 2b2t vibes coming from an rp server

i hope this is true

i like the upside down

neutral on the temp map i thought it was cool for the first 30 minutes or so of exploring it. very down to do based smp roleplay though

Prince Paul Alexander of the Petra grinned upon receiving the missive, "So smart, that Arnaud. I see that we share a love of writing as well as fishing." the youth mumbled, casting his rod out whilst reading a Medical Guide written by Rosina Py'lrie.

✧THE EAGLE'S WATCH✧

The Eagle's Watch was founded by Sir Laurens Henri 'the Unwavering' Halcourt d'Artois, the Marquis of Clermont. The purpose of the order is to maintain the peace throughout the Commonwealth of the Petra, but most importantly, the March of Clermont and all of its holdings. They are also charged with the protection of the House of Halcourt's most senior members. Footmen swear an oath to the Marquis or other Head of House Halcourt, who has sworn an oath to the Sovereign of our Homeland, therefore having sworn two allegiances. They are the new blood of the Order, having just completed their training. They will report to an Ensign of which there may be as many as deemed necessary by the Leader of House Halcourt. The Eagle's Watch shall be captained by the Commandant of the Order, who shall report directly to the Head of the House.

Customs and Traditions

Members of the Watch enjoy racing along the River Petra, practicing their boating techniques and polishing up on their aquatic defense skills in the case of an attack. The brothers-in-arms are typically seen gathered by a campfire, roasting their most recent hunt. Induction into the Eagle's Watch comes with the honor of Petrine Citizenship, as is fitting for a Levyman beneath a Liege Lord. The brave men and women of the Eagle's Watch are highly regarded among those that they serve, and enjoy access to all properties belonging to the House of Halcourt, with the exception of private quarters. Upon the completion of the first day of training, each levyman is permitted a bed, a barrel, as well as armor, food, and weaponry that is seen as necessity for guardsmen in exchange for their loyalty. Deserters are frowned upon, as they are seen as dishonorable and are sought after by their former brothers-in-arms to undergo a trial of their peers.
