“Personally I wouldn’t let that slide” commented Aldrik

“Oh, so it was not a mistake” commented Aldrik, happy for the clarification.

Aldrik Ludovar would prepare to do his part, used to many mining runs in support of Haense.

THE VALDEV DOG RACES FOR THE HEARTH OF THE HOMELAND. Issued by the LADY CHAMBERLAIN On this 8th day of Tov ag Yermey of 491 E.S. VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK, Throughout the history of Haense, dogs have played an integral role in the culture and daily life of the region. From companionship, to guarding and hunting, these loyal and skilled animals left an indelible mark on our history. House Ludovar– in particular– are well known for their connection to dogs, notably their renowned breeding of a specific dog: the Ottoshund. Such hounds were descended from herding dogs, and are now fit to fulfill many jobs due to their size and temperament. To honor this historical bond between Haense and its faithful canine companions, a grand dog race event is set to take place within the town square. As participants and spectators gather to witness the thrilling races, other festivities and stalls will be set up to be enjoyed by all. THE RACES Similar to celebrated races held in other nations, a charming track will be laid out to challenge the young, eager puppies as they showcase their agility and spirit. Alongside this endearing spectacle, spectators will line the sidelines– anticipating the triumphant arrival of their entered canines. Owners, in the spirit of friendly competition, can encourage their puppies to reach the finish line. As the dogs dash towards victory, treats and affection from their owners and other spectators will await them at the end. BETTING Amidst the joyous atmosphere of the event, an exciting opportunity awaits attendees in the form of friendly wagers. As the energetic race unfolds on the track, betting booths positioned around the course will offer a chance for attendees to showcase their instincts and predictions, further enhancing the thrill of the competition. With each bark, leap, and dash of the racing dogs, the suspense will grow, and the stakes will grow higher the more bets are placed. Should a dog win, the amount will be dispersed between all those with a ticket for the winning dog. This is all in friendly competition, so the honor system will be utilized- if you use, pay up. ADOPT YOUR OWN An important part of this event is finding young pups their forever home - whether an elderly lord wanting a companion, a farmer needing a herding dog, or a child wanting their very own new best friend. Seven puppies, ranging in different sizes, colors, and temperaments will be up for adoption - eagerly anticipating their proud paw-rents. A playpen will be included by the adoption center, so that children can play with their puppies, with toys being included in the pen. Great for bonding with your newly acquired friend! In addition, a small stand will be set up, featuring commodities such as fine-toothed combs for dog grooming, dog biscuits and treats, as well as toys for your new puppy!

Aldric Ludovar would smile at the post, preparing himself for the interview process.

Something of amusement to me has been the idea that European players on LOTC are smarter than NA players. So, I challenge the eastern hemisphere to beat us in a trivia contest. We pick a date, pick a time. Five or six categories of trivia, and we see who truly is smarter. We draft players, and then we see. @BorinYou as team EU captain, vs me as NA captain

Ruslan would cheer at this edict, proclaiming "About damn time!"

Ruslan Ludovar would nurse his sore legs, still aching from sprinting around much of the Northwest.

Ruslan Ludovar would attempt to say the infants name five times fast, failing quite quickly.

Ruslan Ludovar performing the Valdev Shuffle c. 131 We are here in downtown Valdev, where everyone is excited about the new song that's sweeping the nation, it’s called the Valdev Shuffle!

The painting would depict several Haenseti citizens participating in the Valdev Shuffle

Ruslan runs around cheering loudly out of excitement, before tripping and falling on his face.

"So the people are given less access to their Government, and are made structurally inferior to the Lords?" Commented Ruslan, frowning at the edict.

"That's my dad!" exclaimed Ruslan Kvazyev

Wonderful job spreading cheer and kindness this month Ibrahim- it is an incredibly positive thing and something everyone on LOTC can learn and draw from, regardless of their religious identity or views. Eid Mubarak everyone!

If you're doing Tavern rp, grab your strongest liquor and immerse yourself! If you aren't intoxicated, why should your character be? *suggested only for those of legal drinking age

"Oh mein godan" commented Ruslan

The girl from the Carolusian Mens Club (Est. 458 ES) would remember the late King celebrating one of his last few days alive with her and the others, frowning. "May he rest in peace!"

Sigismund Aleksandr approves this message.

"This made me cringe and almost die" stated the not so young Sigismund Aleksandr.

Young Sigismund still revels in his first real combat, remembering how the brave men protected the Cardinal from the nefarious Pontiff and his cronies.
