The Farfolk would release a loud sigh “Who is heartless enough to attack the Halflings....”. He would quickly send a crate of building materials towards the Halflings to help them repair their bridge.

The Blooming Kingdom of Athalia
Peak Time:
While most nations are known for the strong playerbase in EST-Timezones, Athalia is often trying to focus more on the European GMT-Timezone and their playerbase. While this is the case the diversity of the playerbase is allowing activity throughout both timezones, creating an immersive experience for players in either timezones. As such our peak time is often between 2-12pm EST and between 3-12pm GMT.Populace Density:
Due to the fact that the Athalian people have a deep-rooted history in regards to racial dispersion and racism, the cultural dispersion of Athalia is a rather leveled out one with a majority of elves and humans dwelling within the settlement but also a fair amount of orcs and other races having influenced the lifestyle within the kingdom. There have been many unique laws set into effect which prevent racism between the races and individuals inside the settlement, as such the relaxed ambiance of the city attracts more people to its wondrous existence.
Brief Descripiton:
The Athalian people are modest individuals who have flourished throughout the years with their teachings based on naturalism and preservation of the natural balance within the ecosystems. They represent not as much strength but instead presenting to others the creative and gentle way of life they have refined upon the tidal cliffs for themselves. As such most of Athalia’s buildings and structures are created with the usage of plants and other natural materials, causing the citizens to carefully maintain the vegetation to further allow the growth of the city and flora itself. The process of conserving such a unique culture is not something easily obtained, the people of Athalia are known to avoid conflict at any cost, as an alternative, they bring new citizens to their safe harbor with their innovations for peace.
List of players able to assist:
While you may find it hard to find the right person to obtain citizenship or the right person to ask for a favour you can most commonly ask one of the following players for more specific assistance!
- Nolan @TwistedFries – King and Council Leader; Can assist with the creation of treaties, alliances and general questions
- Delaselva @TheVoidalMage – Minister for Militaric Affairs; Can assist with guard-duties and questions about the law and can also enlist you into the Silverwood Guards
Directions:
To find Athalia, simply follow the roads towards the Isles of Korvassa, which can be located near Sutica. From there onwards you will need to follow the road to the right side and pass Thyra and Cresonia. The road will lead you through a valley and will end at the southern end of Korvassa. You should now stand in front of Athalia! Welcome and enjoy your stay!
Coordinates: -1965 and 1565Important Information:
If you need any further assistance in finding Athalia or if you got any questions, feel free to message TwistedFries on Discord (Discord-Tag: TwistedFries#1055) or by sending us a PM over the Forums. We are also suggesting you to check over the Athalian-Subforum if you want to learn more about Athalia!

The Athalian people are modest individuals who have flourished throughout the years with their teachings based on naturalism and preservation of the natural balance within the ecosystem.

As such most of Athalia’s buildings and structures are created with the usage of plants and other natural materials, causing the citizens to carefully maintain the vegetation to further allow the growth of the city and flora itself. The process of conserving such a unique culture is not something easily obtained, the people of Athalia are known to avoid conflict at any cost, as an alternative, they bring new citizens to their safe harbor with their innovations for peace.
History
The Athalian people have a deep-rooted history alongside with other cultures and religions, unlike many settlements, the cultural dispersion of Athalia is a rather leveled out one with a majority of elves and humans dwelling within the settlement but also a fair amount of orcs and other races having influenced the lifestyle within the kingdom. There have been many unique laws set into effect which prevent racism between the races and individuals inside the settlement, as such the relaxed ambiance of the city attracts more people to its wondrous existence. Granting all of this, the people of Athalian have been around for many realms though only now they have decided to become familiar with their neighboring settlements, while the objective of nonaggression that they strived to acquire would only be something they obtained presently.
During the beginning of these ancient realms, various geographical environments allowed civilizations to form and utilize the area, one being a militarized group made mostly of humans and the other being an advanced architectural group of elven ancestors. These two settlements gathered their strong hatred for each other due to a dispute between borders and natural materials that became scarce in certain areas of the lands. After some time of conflict and bloodshed, the elven settlement presented a treaty that would allow them to share the given land and all peace may be restored. The humans had a different approach when attempting to deal with the situation; sneaking into the elven settlement and slaughtering few members. While this would have provoked the elven people, they only continued to show kindness and peace until a formal treaty was given and looked over once more. After the conflict had passed and the treaty was agreed upon, only then did both settlements and cultures unite and completed the balance they both sought out.
Peace is more than the absence of war, people learned that after the troubles had ended that to live with love is the only way to achieve true peace. When they began these teachings of guiding your actions by a love that is not tainted with self-serving motives and does not cause harm to the balance, you will find the paradise your soul craves. These words enlightened the people of both settlements as the unity showed true tolerance to people unlike them. This idea of neutrality is what brought peace to Athalia, currently allowing them to form alliances with their neighboring settlers and different cultures, religion, and race.
The current period of Arcas is one of pure conflict and war between the races, something that would be known throughout the rest of history as did the other wars. The mainlands of Arcas continued to pose more dangerous each moment, bandits taking their chances to ransack people moving along the road, armies of each nation attacking anyone who seems to be an enemy, natural disasters, and so much more. With the Isles of Korvassa growing and becoming much more advanced, people began to seek safety and somewhere of peace away from the wartorn mainlands. Those people formed the new city of Athalia, hailing near the coastal lining of the isles and surrounded by its magnificent vegetation.
Religion
Originating from their druidic and elvish influence the state religion of Athalia is Aspectism, yet, most other religious forms are accepted within the kingdom. As such people can freely worship most religions and be part of the kingdom without having any trouble with the laws of Athalia or other citizens. Excluded from such rules are religions which are overly aggressive towards other forms of beliefs or which break the balance itself, such as Necromantic beliefs in demonology and worshipping of dark beings. Due to the strong influence of Aspectism many rituals, often those tied to nature and the seasons, are practiced within the walls of Athalia, often resulting in colorful and rather entertaining festivals.
Military and Warfare
Known as the Silverwood Guards the military force of Athalia is known to be lead by a singular leader, which is often being assisted by a council of other fighters. The leader and council members can be of any gender, as all members of the guard force can be, allowing both men and women to partake in the defense of Athalia. Often wearing silver-colored armor each individual is also known to hold a leather-version of their armor to act within the deserted lands to the north without being cooked alive.
Normally guards are being trained in swordsmanship, yet, over the years the focus changed to a more refined usage of spears and tridents to carry out their work, which is often said to originate from their location near the sea and the easier usage of such in their daily work near the waters. Often said weaponry is made out of Ferrum, yet, Aurum weapons are also known to be used by the guard force.
However, while Athalia may hold a guard force of their own they are barely found in battles against other kingdoms and nations, due to their alliances with said nations. Most commonly their alliances are created to maintain peace and order on the Isles of Korvassa, allowing the settlements on the isles to flourish and grow.
Politics
Currently, the kingdom of Athalia is ruled by a monarchy and a formed council of ministers that conduct different aspects of the settlement. Each of the Ministers directs their own Ministry which work on their assignments. The function of the Athalian government is based on trust and agreement, while meetings are held almost every few elven weeks.
The Ministry Of Magical Affairs often is in charge of the documentation and granting of permits for casting legal magic. They have been trained in various ways to be able to counter and capture any criminal and or rogue mages that wish to bring harm down to the kingdom. They are to accept only trusted individuals that do not have any criminal record or other foreign issues that could cause problems for the ministry.
The Ministry Of Internal Affairs is in charge of the stewartry and enforcing taxes upon the citizens and owners of homes, shops, et cetera. They are usually seen helping newcomers gain citizenship and homes within the kingdom, while they collect taxes and make sure that no one avoids paying.
The Ministry Of Militaristic and Defensive Affairs documents new recruits for the Silverwood Guards and keeps the kingdom's defenses intact. The Minster tends to do more paperwork as the lower ranks conduct more training regiments, et cetera. The ministry was formed at the beginning of the formation of the settlement as it was to protect the monarch and citizens from harm's way and or any conflict that was presented to Athalia.
The Ministry Of Diplomatic Affairs is one of the most important aspects of the kingdom, used to form alliances between different nations and settlements while keeping good ties with them. The recruitment of different diplomats with good foreign affairs and skills when staying within different kingdoms to bring Athalia’s necessities first.
The Ministry Of Healthcare and Welfare has been created to keep good health conditions throughout the kingdom and to give out legal medical permits to whoever wishes to use their medical knowledge for assisting the kingdom in times of needs.
The Ministry Of Educational Affairs was created to allow young citizens to study and learn about the world outside of Athalia, as such the Ministry is holding school classes for interested people, teaching them about religions, magic, history and even different languages.
Marriage and Divorce
Unlike most nations or states, marriages and divorces are a lot easier to get through, mostly due to the simple fact that any minister is allowed to divorce a couple. Yet, marriages still need to be approved by the spiritual leader of Athalia, while any priest is allowed to perform them, making it fairly easy to get married or divorced.
At the same time, same-sex-relationships and poly-relationships are also allowed within Athalia, meaning that a person can have multiple partners, living in a form of family. They aren’t allowed to marry, yet, are seen equally to married couples, creating the feeling of safety within everyone.
Infrastructure
Athalia’s architecture is mostly influenced by the naturalism and elven aspects of their culture, as most buildings maintain the thick vegetation of flora that spreads throughout the kingdom. Most of the buildings don’t cause harm to the natural terrain and geography of Athalia but actually utilizes it in order to create a unique ecosystem between the citizens and nature itself. They have refined and formed various designs for the structures of the city, while also being adaptable enough to construct their city upon the tidal cliffs of the northern end of Korvassa. Vines and leaves often intertwine with the stone patterns of their roads and foundations of the buildings, natural streams of water flowing down the hillsides as to aid the watering of the nearby land, allowing new flora to grow and to bloom. While the city is closely tied to nature, ancient forests of thick and old trees are scattered across the lands outside of the walls, allowing the natural ecosystem to flourish as intended.
Economy
The economy of Athalia is based around numerous trade agreements with other nations and settlements which reside within neighboring lands. The kingdom of Athalia usually trades natural materials such as spices, herbs, and medicines of varying rarity. Athalian merchants are often found within nations and settlements which are allied to Athalia and don’t pose a threat to the individuals, such as Sutica, Urugan, and a few others.
While Athalia is known for these herbal and natural based materials and products for trade, there was often insufficient earnings to be made, causing the people of Athalia to adapt. Through the creation of new wares and new products to sell, thanks to the integration of new cultures and citizens into Athalia itself, the economy is flourishing once again.
Magic
Magic is well-known within Athalia and is most often seen as something respectable and something one needs to work for to obtain it. As such, most forms of magic are legalized and allowed to be used within the walls of Athalia, including voidal forms, deific forms, and forms which don’t fall under the Dark Arts. While this is the case, Druidism is the most prominent one and is often seen as the most liked and preferred form of magic within the lands of Athalia, either due to the fact that nature is constantly surrounding a person, as it is part of the city itself, or due to the fertile soil that the citizens walk upon. However, while magic is popular and mostly legalized, the Dark Arts are still seen as dangerous and impure, forbidding such mages the entry to the city as a whole.

Seems like a good idea to bring back such a race. Right now we are missing out on such races. A such...a +1 from me!

Give us fly back
Agreed, we can understand that it is a burden, yet, some people need it to build trees and high buildings, etc.
Maybe find a solution to handle the /fly situation? Maybe allow Primary Region Owners to hand out fly within the borders of their region?2 -
So, I am one of the few people which aren’t against those changes. Sure, some parts are a bit odd, such as the #-Thing, yet, in total we got a few useful changes in regards to lenghty text replies, item desc. and general updates on the whole /tab situation that players complained about yesterday. The only two things I would add back/change back are:
- Left-Click to Ping Players (It was useful to stop players or get their attention, as you can’t write fast enough from time to time)
- Whisper and Quiet Chat (Those are existing, yet, you can only access them with #w and #q instead of #whisper and #quiet, if possible, allow both forms to join the chat)
Else....good job @Tofuus

A druid would pass the grave of Jan, only to place several pots of flowers down around it and even a replica of his shield, made out of flower blossoms.
“Even despite his hate towards many druids and mages, he never raised his sword against me when I talked with her. He never tried to act against her own wishes. I do not agree with everything he did...how he handled all events and that he fought in so many battles, yet, I approve that he was a great men, one that loved his family and tried to protect it as much as he could. As such he shall rest in peace and become one with the earth once more.”2 -

Legally Important Titles and Terms
The Nobility is defined as the body of all individuals holding heredity or honorary noble or lordly titles, typically holding land in tenure to the State or other members of Nobility. As such one may be ascending to Nobility, while are others are Nobility from blood.
Nobility
Nobility, as stated before, can be obtained through two possible ways, either by birthright or through ascending into Nobility. As such Nobility is often a given right and can also be taken away, depending on one’s action or the actions of a family as a whole. While this applies to most ranks of Nobility others are excepted from such rule, including the Royal Family and unique titles, as those can solely be removed by the Crown itself or through the Privy Council as a whole.
The Crown

Trials and Punishments are part of every kingdom and their lawful codex and rules. As such the following section is focusing solely on trials and the punishments which are to be given out.
Trials
Right to have a fair Trial
Unlike in many kingdoms, Athalia is giving each citizen the right to be given a trial, unless their wrongdoings were causing little to no actual damage, in which the time and energy to hold a trial would be pointless. As such citizens are to be given up to average punishments without a trial by the guard forces. Any higher punishments can only be given out after a fair trial was held. A fair trial is often referred to a trial where either side is given a possibility to talk, bring forth evidence or take actions against claims while being judged by a jury or judge. Until the acclaimed culprit is found guilty he is to be seen as innocent, while still being limited in his powers and rights until the trial is concluded (Example: Right to roam the kingdom freely -> Can be limited to the city or a cell alone).
Roles at a Trial

They are to be present at any given trial and are required to send all finished documents to the crown, so that they may be preserved for the future.
Judge
A judge is a person who presides over court proceedings, either alone or as part of a jury. Judges are to be impartially and are to conduct each trial, giving out punishment or announcing that a culprit is not guilty. They need to be present at any trial which takes place within Athalia.
Jury
A jury consists of a judge and several individual state officials, which are given the right to conclude a trial. However, a jury is only been called forth if a citizen of nobility is being trialed.
Procedures of a Trial
The purpose of the trial is to present all relevant admissible evidence to the court. The jury will decide the guilt or innocence of the accused person. All trials within Athalia gives full rights to all people of different races, social background, and religious beliefs. The Procedure of the Trial is listed below:
- The accused appears in the dock and a document known as an ‘Indictment’ is presented by the prosecutor. The Indictment details the alleged offence. It is read by the Secretary to the accused who is asked to then plead ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty’ to the accused crimes.
- The prosecutor starts with an address to the judge or jury, outlining the case against the accused, and then calls witnesses to give evidence, who the defense can cross-examine. After the cross-examination has finished, the prosecutor may re-examine the witness. The defense case follows the same procedure.
- After all the evidence has been presented, the prosecution and the defense review their cases in final addresses to the judge.
- The judge will afterwards review all of the documents and decide upon the verdict of the accused individual, either pleading them as ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty’.
Punishments
Forms of Punishments
Within Athalia, four different levels of punishments are to be given out, classified as light, average, heavy and critical punishments. For most crimes a culprit is being charged with laws, which result in average punishments, yet, depending on the crime they may also receive a critical punishment.
Light Punishments
-
Fines
A fine is of lower grade sentencing, considered the utmost minimal punishment possible. When a fine is sentenced, the criminal must pay the fine within one elven-week from the day the fine was announced/recorded. If they do not, they face graver punishment.
-
Detention
A detention is of lower grade sentencing, which results in the rights of free movement to be limited to a certain area, often a cell. The criminal has to stay within their confinement, else will receive graver punishments.
Average Punishments-
Forced Labour
If a criminal did thievery or can’t pay a fine they are to be forced to physical labor, either for the state or for the victim. Such labor can range from easy work as a salesman or to harder work, as the work of a coal miner. The criminal will be under permanent observation until he repaid his debt.
-
Branding
Branding is of average grade sentencing, considered the procedure to take when a criminal must be identified for their crime in the future. This punishment is done in private. When branding is sentenced the branding will be placed in a clear location, usually the head, neck, wrists or palms
-
Public Torture
Public torture is of average grade sentencing, considered the go-to sentencing for medium to severe or recurring criminals. This is the procedure when a criminal is found for charges that require more than the light sentencing but must be dealt with efficiently. Public torture can be sentenced, like light punishments, regardless of a trial. This includes public branding or lashings. Lashings are the most common in public torture, a strict form of punishment dealt with conservative numbers.
Heavy Punishments
-
Revocation of Citizenship
Revocation of citizenship is of heavy grade sentencing, considered the way to punish a criminal and force them into rehabilitation by earning society’s trust once more, usually through gaining a career record and then after repenting for their crimes appealing to the royal court.
-
Castration
Castration is of heavy grade sentencing, considered the answer to male sexual violence. It is the private removal of a male’s genitals, and falls under the act of dismemberment but does deserve its own punishment title due to the common occurrence of it.
-
Dismemberment
Dismemberment is of heavy grade sentencing, considered the procedure to remove the criminal’s ability to repeat a crime. In the case of sexual violence, castration is necessary, though in the case of murder, a hand might be removed, and in the case of repeated disrespect, slander and harassment, a tongue might be torn out. All sentences of dismemberment are specific to the crime and precisely which body part can be removed to prevent the criminal from ever committing such a crime again. This can also be the go-to for recurring criminal acts if public torture does not stop them.
Critical Punishments
-
Banishment
Banishment is of critical grade sentencing. When a criminal has gone so far that they can no longer be rehabilitated into society, nor can they be trusted to be forced into labor and not commit further crimes, they will be banished from Athalia. They are to be thrown out into the wilderness with no supplies where they are forgotten and doomed to die or live a nomadic lifestyle for years to come, never legally to return.
-
Execution
Execution is of critical grace sentencing and is used when a criminal has gone so far that they must be eliminated in public to be made an example of. The main objective behind execution is knowing that there is no other viable punishment and no rehabilitating option for the criminal.
Written Exceptions
Known as licenses or, more commonly, as exceptions to the common law those, often uniquely handed out by Ministers or the Crown itself, documents are placing a specified person above parts of the law. Most commonly such exceptions are given out to trustworthy individuals, which served Athalia for years, or to those which are needing said exceptions for their work, mostly doctors and nurseries. Each exception needs to state the name of the holder, the specified law exception and also the signature and sigil of the Minister, which handed out said exception.
Taxation
Taxation Costs
Within every kingdom taxes are a fairly important part, as they provide the kingdom with resources for their treasury, which in return can be used to buy building resources, animals, weaponry and much more for the citizens. As such each house owner needs to pay their taxations costs at the local taxation center, where the taxes are collected at the beginning of each elven week.
Class C Home
A Class C Home is often described as a small house, often containing a singular floor and around 8x5x4 cubic blocks of space. Said houses are often fairly cheap, as citizens often need to pay only 100 Minas to move in and are asked to pay 50 Minas per week as taxation, making those places affordable for any kind of person.
Class B Home
Unlike the Class C Home the Class B Home is known to be more spacious, often holding two floors, each with the approximate sizing of 10x6x4 cubic blocks of space. Due to the amount of space those houses are a bit more pricey, but still affordable for most people, pricing at around 200 Minas to move in and holding a taxation of 100 Minas per week.
Class A Home
Class A Homes are often referred to as the most spacious of all homes, besides manors, as they often hold a fairly big amount of space. Most commonly whole family's are living in such homes, as they are given those houses preferable instead of a singular person. Class A Homes are known to hold up to two floors, each floor holding approximately the size of 12x8x4 cubic blocks, which makes the purchase fairly price, standing at 300 Minas, which a weekly taxation of 200 Minas per week.
Manors
Reserved for Nobility Manors are the most spacious of all homes, allowing nobles to create their own little paradise. However, while Manors are reserved for Nobility not all nobles are granted a manor, either due to the limited amount or due to their actual title. Manors are known to hold 15x10x4 cubic blocks of space and are often having two or three floors altogether, making them rather ginormous. Yet such space comes to a fairly big price, as the purchase alone costs 500 Minas, while holding a weekly taxation of 400 Minas.
Shops
Shops are unique areas, either stalls or buildings, which are allowing a person to sell their wares. As they are granting a steady income they are often less pricey when firstly purchased, yet, hold a higher taxation cost. Normally shops hold around 6x5x4 cubic blocks of space, yet, some may be bigger or smaller, depending on their location within Athalia. The first purchase costs normally 150 Minas and their weekly taxation is placed at 150 Minas.
Tax Exemptions
Sometimes granted by the Minister for Interior Affairs or the Crown itself a Tax Exemption is removing someone’s weekly taxation, making their purchase a one-time-deal. Most commonly tax exemptions are given out to specific title holders or to people, which aided Athalia for a long time, allowing them to live without any bigger worries within the city.

Dismemberment is of heavy grade sentencing, considered the procedure to remove the criminal’s ability to repeat a crime. In the case of repeated disrespect, slander and harassment, a tongue might be torn out. All sentences of dismemberment are specific to the crime and precisely which body part can be removed to prevent the criminal from ever committing such a crime again. This can also be the go-to for recurring criminal acts, if public torture does not stop them.
§4 The following punishments are applicable for any Class A-Crimes,
§4.1 Banishment,
Banishment is of critical grade sentencing, and thusly needs a trial or the approval of the Crown. When a criminal has gone so far that they can no longer be rehabilitated into society, nor can they be trusted to be forced into labour and not commit further crimes, they will be banished from the empire and send into a wasteland desert with no supplies, never legally allowed to return.
§4.2 Execution,
Execution is of critical grace sentencing and is used when a criminal has gone so far that they must be eliminated in public to be made an example of. The main objective behind execution is knowing that there is no other viable punishment and no rehabilitating option for the criminal.
§5 If a trialed citizen is not found guilty of any magical crimes, yet, evidences that the individual broke other Imperial Laws were documented while the trial took place, the individual person is to be handed to the specific judiciary to be trialed for the recorded crimes.

The Imperial Ministry
For Magical Affairs
Est anno Domini 1697
With the stretching borders of the Empire of Man more magical activity was sighted all over the Empire itself, being in need of regulations and management. As such His Imperial Majesty Emperor Augustus I of House Horen, guided by the wisdom and the grace of GOD, does see it fit to establish the Ministry for Magical Affairs to handle the growing amount of magical affairs within the Empire. The powers that the CROWN and GOD bestow upon him does endow this Ministry with the oversight and authority to upkeep, manage and enforce the Lex Arcana within the Empire of Man.
Duties of the Ministry
- To upkeep and uphold the Lex Arcana in the name of GOD and the Crown.
- To manage trials, which are caused by the breaking of the Lex Arcana.
- To organize and maintain permits for the usage of the magical arts.
- To manage magical affairs and occurences within the Empire.
- To collect, record and manage dangerous magical artifacts.
Emperor Godfrey’s Court Wizard, 1360
The Minister for Magical Affairs
His Excellency, the Minister for Magical Affairs is the primary figurehead of the Ministry for Magical Affairs, being in charge of most leadership work. Through the work of the Minister the Ministry is fully functional and can continue it’s daily duty to the best. He is an advisor to the Crown and to the Privy.
Duties to include:
- Managing the Ministry for Magical Affairs

Duties to include:
- Ensuring a smooth operation of the Ministry
- Assisting the Minister
- Collecting and Handling Documents of the Ministry
- Advising the Minister
The Captains of the Ministry
The Captains are respected and recognized members of the Ministry, being in charge of most members below them, handing out missions and keeping the rules intact.

The Witch Hunters and Seers of the Ministry
The Witch Hunters are trained melee fighters or archers and members of the Ministry, often seen doing patrols or researches on different investigations. As such they are also often found within the city, handling their assigned task or simply helping out the citizens. While the Witch Hunters are known for their combative strength, the Seers are known as the more magical adaptive forces of the Ministry. Seers are trained to use their magic to aid the public and the Hunters in their daily tasks. As such it’s common to see a Seer and a Witch Hunter working hand in hand to fulfill their tasks.

- Enforcing the Lex Arcana
- Tasked with Investigations
- Employing new apprentices
- Aiding the citizens in their daily life
The Apprentices

- Aiding the Witch Hunters and Seers
- Aiding the citizens in their daily life
The Adrianic Branch of the Ministry

What magic(s) will you be teaching?
I will be teaching druidic communion and control (C&C).
Summarise the Lore of this magic(s):
While most people assume C&C is a singular form of magic it’s actually two forms of magic, focusing on the communication with nature and the controlling of it. While the druidic communion focuses around the ability to understand and commune with the local flora and fauna to a certain degree, as such communicating with it, druids are also able to control or request nature to do certain things, such as causing plants to move a certain way. While it is called control it is rather a request to nature itself, asking nature to do certain things, such as moving the vine from one side to another. Yet, not all plants and animals will act directly on the call of a druid, as such a young druid may be able to request smaller plants to move a certain way, while a big tree won’t even listen to their request.
Write up a lesson that your character would give to a student:
Another silent night, the sounds of crittering animals could be heard all around the little swamp, fireflies swarming through the air, covering themselves in their lights. Vahyru would slowly open his eyes as he would finally hear the cracking sound of branches being stepped upon by someone, noticing him of the arrival of his first student. Turning towards the tree trunk that lead to the small island he would finally be able to make out the shape of Lae as she balanced over the swampy waters.
With a soft hum in his voice he would greet her, smiling at her as he did so: “Well, you are a bit later, but welcome. I hope the mosquitoes didn’t do too much damage to you.”
Lae would chuckle for a short moment, holding a piece of paper and a pencil within her hands as she would sit down near Vahyru: “No, no, no, I am fine. But I never expected to have my first lesson in a swamp…”“Oh? Why would you expect something else?”, asked Vahyru straight away, a calm expression resting on his face as he would place a hand on some nearby patches of moss.
“Well, it’s wet...rather loud, thanks to the toads and the critters, and it’s not a class room?”, exclaimed Lae.
“And that is why it’s the perfect place for our first lesson. We are surrounded by nature itself, by flora, fauna, life and eath. Right now you hear, smell and see nature in it’s purest form.” Vahyru would run his finger over the moss, just to pull his hands away from it, causing some fireflies to land upon the moss and acting like a small lamp for him and his student. “You won’t need any paper or anything to write with, Lae. Instead I want you to listen closely and I want you to tell me what you can hear.”
Lae would look confused first, but slowly closed her eyes. Her ears would twitch slightly from time to time as she would listen to the sounds of the swamp. “I can hear the toads….some splashing water...buzzing from insects...I can hear the wind between the leafs…”
“Good, now focus upon each of those sounds, as they will become as clear as a cloudless sky for you at some day.” Crossing his legs Vahyru would move slowly into a meditating position, allowing his body to calm down, his muscles to relax and his breathing to become one with the wind.
“Listen and understand - that is what you will learn at first. Learn to commune, learn to listen, learn to see what you normally wouldn’t see. I want you to become one with nature, one with the voice and one with the endless circle.” Vahyrus voice would echo through the swamp, calm, yet, also rather commanding. “As your first task I will ask you to meditate every day for at least twenty minutes, I want you to listen to the sounds of nature and tell me what you experienced after one week.”

General Information
- Name & nicknames: Fahron Daluon, the wandering Hermit
- Race: Wood Elf, with parts of Farfolk-Blood in his veins
- Gender: Male
- Year of Birth: 1655
- Religious Belief: Aspectism
- Voice Reference: Aruvn - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijKAd4CjRqM
Physical Description
The average height of a Daluon man is at around, 5’9’’ feet, although the tallest reach heights around 6’3”, often peeking out of most Heartlander males due to their height. Following such genetic structure Fahron is standing, thanks to his elven genes, at a towering 6’2’’, often being able to glance over the heads of most folk easily. Thanks to his daily training and the travels he does every day Fahron holds a muscular body-build holding the weight of 209 lbs.
Due to amber-colored eyes from his mother and the golden-sandy-colored eyes from his father Fahron has a rather gentle and soft mix of those colors, giving him a rather bright orange-golden eye color. Thanks to the same reason Fahron is also holding a rather tanned-olive skin, as his father already had fairly dark skin and his mother being on the tanned skin-tone side, causing him to develop such skin color.
However, unlike most Daluons Fahron doesn’t possess white hair, due to his mother being a wood elf and his father already being a crossbreed of a farfolk and an elf, causing his elven genes to be more dominant and giving him a brownish hair color. Like his father Fahron is also keeping his facial hair cut down to the minimum often showing some stubbles, but barely more than that. While he keeps his beard shaved Fahron is often letting his body hair grow out, either due to the fact that he hates wasting the time to shave or due to the fact that he simply doesn’t care about it as much. As such he is often displaying far-reaching tufts that cover most of his body.
Personality
-
Energetic: Fahrons primary trait is his energetic enthusiasm. He is always filled with energy and helps others out whenever he can without any hesitation. This trait is also very helpful for his travels and his daily life, since it often leaves him in a good and energetic mood.
-
Free Spirited: Unlike his father Fahron is known as a rather free spirit, trying to follow his own path and ideals, and staying true to those as much as possible. As such he wouldn’t agree on doing something he isn’t feeling comfortable with.
-
Fearful: Fahron is known to show a rather kind and gentle side, yet, despite such a facade he is also able to bring fear to those that are acting against his ideals, not hesitating to let his voice be heard and him taking physical actions. Besides from such his talents in strategic thinking is turning Fahron into an enemy no one wants to fight against.
- Unorganized: Like father, like son, Fahron is fairly unorganized, often losing stuff or being unable to find important documents. Most of his backpack seems cramped and is so unorganized that it can take Fahron more than a few minutes to find a single item within.
Strengths
-
Helpfulness: Unlike most people Fahron is often trying to help people instead of himself. Sure, he wants to achieve his goals, but he also wants to support the people he likes, may it be physically, mentally or any other possible way.
-
Fast thinker: Fahron might be a hermit and wanderer, but in reality he is a rather fast thinker, using his surroundings and given information rapidly, for example to create an escaping plan. Being a fast thinker is also helping him in his daily life, especially in the wild and in other dangerous situations.
- Experience in Shortsword- and Kama-Usage: Unlike most folks Fahron prefers the usage of shortswords or Kamas about everything. He was trained in this form of combat for most of his life and he knows where to place his hits to take an enemy down in the shortest amount of time.
Weaknesses
-
Arachnophobia: Despite befriending many animals and creatures easily, almost inherently, Fahron hates spiders more than anything else. As soon as he sees a spider around him, he will try to put as much distance between him and the arachnid as possible. Another way of Fahron to take care of spiders is it to throw a lot of stuff in the spiders direction, trying to kill it with the impact of, as an example, books, plates and even flower pots.
- Arthritis: Due to Fahrons lifestyle and the overuse of his whole body he started to develop a form of arthritis. Most of the time he feels a slight pain in his hands and wrists, but is often trying to ignore the pain in his daily life. However, he is receiving a rather strong drawback of the arthritis after every fight, causing his eyes to water up and to curse, due to the amount of pain.

Next to that I am also fairly well-versed in the areas of Flora and Fauna, since those areas are fairly appealing to me and I wrote lore for each of those two topics myself.

But watch out! Don’t slip and fall into the nearby lake or oceans...we don’t want any casualties from shark attacks or sea monsters.
In celebration of the events, the following allies and friends are being invited to the ball;
