Unwillingly

while im not an advocate for more settlements I don't think most people here have anything personal against ur guys' group, u just happened to be right in the shockwave of squak's status update. ppl are just tired of settlements popping up left and right because most of them go inactive even if they think they'll be the outlier who will retain activity for more than 2 weeks. any other group and they would have been at the receiving end as well

The Naztherak Bramble shoddily paints a sign outside of his manor's foyer, reading, "Free Azdrazi corruption! Schedule an appointment today."

Prayer of the Patron when expressing worship, respect, and devotion Hail to the Ebony Lord, Wings of malice, wings of entropy, wings of malaise, Bestow to me your vehemence, So that I may serve you in glory So that I may serve you with pride O’ ebony Lord, Wings of greatness, wings of might, wings of power Thwart the weakness that lay claim, So that I may be unfettered in my endeavors Prayer of Clarity when seeking clarity, purpose, and reassurance O’ winged Lord My mind is plagued, worn, and weary, Weighed by stillness Weighed by apathy, My ardor wanes as a candle melts, My fortitude erodes as a wall crumbles, But ever do I kneel to the ebony mantle, Ever do I hold sacred the plagued exemplar, So bestow to me a vision of providence in my aspirations, A vision of a mighty cause, a blazing pyre of glory, So that I may find clarity in our eternal climb Prayer of the Rite when seeking a successful rite, ceremony, or event O’ Prince Kholidav, I call upon your might and fury, I call upon your divine wroth, Bestow this rite a prodigal of your unholy essence, A promise of prosperity, a sliver of good tidings, So that we are graceful in the path laid before us, And this unfortunate vessel to serve dutifully and with purpose Prayer of War when entering a battle, mission, or treacherous endeavor Great Lord Kholidav, I call upon your infectious domain, I call upon your malady, To plague the mind and rot the soul, To decay those who stand against your vision, To thwart those who would not see it through Ride the gales of battle with us Fly with the murder ‘til we stand over carnage Until our vision is seen through and we have served you well Prayer of Pity when asking forgiveness for one's wrongdoings, failures, or defeat O’ Kholidav, harbinger of Plague, I kneel to your mantle, I beg forgiveness If there is a thread of divine mercy in you, shed it now Forgive my transgressions, forgive my faults, My devotion lay in your clutch, Unwavering, unshakable, eternally so You will witness no failure of me hereon, And in your merciful clutch, I return resolute Before prayer is performed, you may further beckon Kholidav’s intrigue with a worship rite. Often are crows perceived to be highly greedy animals, stealing jewels, charms, coins, and other valuables for their own intrigue, but this is an inaccurate understanding of why these creatures seize gold. As proxies of Kholidav, corvids see fit to carry through his will, and in such, the glimmering reflection or sheen of metals and steel trinkets are said to resemble Xan’s holy fire. The crows steal them to be destroyed, as they would be destroyed by unholy fire. This rite calls for an offering of such charms. But what pleases him most is not mere jewelry, bracelets, or gems, but a mighty ruler’s crown. Place the valuables in front of a grand brazier of malflame, somewhere in solitude, somewhere uninterrupted. Once you have spoken your prayer, deposit the collection into the brazier and allow them to be engulfed. The brazier will consume any holy essence within, and once they are purged, you may wear them for yourself as an expression of devotion. A name is signed in Ilzakarn tongue at the bottom of the parchment, rousing agitation in the eyes if the reader is not versed. Written by ra'Ruzakrii, "The Bramble," c. 163 S.A.

I agree with jumperhand, CAs are one of the most difficult pieces of lore to account for and you'd be significantly more likely to have something like this accepted as an event/monster lore creature. I recommend looking at other accepted CA lore to get an idea of the level of depth you'd need to match when it comes to abilities, behavior, history, etc good luck otherwise!

I will hunt you for sport but I'm glad to hear ur doing well and the craft had been good to u

back in august I took an extended indefinite leave after hitting heavy burnout with lotc. I think I was just absorbing way too much of it at once and it made my interest with the server plummet to a point where logging on for the simplest RP was a chore and it felt like nothing I was doing in RP or OOC had any influence, that I wasn't making progress with things I wanted to succeed, and I didn't want to keep making false promises to my local circle of RPers that I'd be able to devote time to them when I couldn't. a lot of it was because of magic and creature rewrites that made me increasingly frustrated and argumentative until it felt like my creative ability wasn't being facilitated, but suffocated. so I tried to leave things off in the best spot I could before checking out while I was away I tried to explore other creative outlets, such as RPGs, writing communities, and personal passion projects. they were fun, but these experiences were unfulfilling and could never scratch the creative itch many of us have. it's a recycled opinion, but lotc is unmatched. nothing comes close. you cannot find any other platform out there that matches the level of authenticity and depth this server offers, and it's made it a little easier for me to appreciate the server for what it is instead of what it isn't. your characters and storytelling abilities don't start or end with lotc, and what happens on the server has no bearing on your personal creative liberty. separate it from the server and it'll not only help you enjoy the server more, but it'll teach you to be more independent and self-sustaining when it comes to writing. not that lotc shouldn't compliment your creativity or vice versa, but having that distinction is much more beneficial for yourself and those around you a couple days ago I had heard that the community I cared about was on the uptick which gave me some spirit to poke my head around again. I feel like a bit of an outsider to it coming back after so long, but it's in a better state than I left it in at the end of the day. as for lotc itself it doesn't really feel like I even left. but I've gotten some nice welcome-back messages from friends. since then I've had some pleasant RP on my high elf Galahad in places like petra and celia'nor, as well as fun confrontations on my naztherak Castiel. but I feel very rusty and I'm definitely struggling to get back into the groove of RP it feels like. I want to get invested and have the hype for the story and RP interactions like I used to, which I haven't really felt since prior to quitting and its kind of a bummer. not sure if I'm just growing out of that, if I need something fresh, if I'm just looking in the wrong spots or what the problem is while I was away I completed my second semester of college and am on break right now, got some nice christmas presents, and visited some family for the weekend. I also have a friend coming to visit from across the state in january, so I'm excited for that. I'll be 21 in february which is crazy to think about. I think this is my 7th or 8th year on lotc - I joined when I was about 12 or 13. its wild how have yall been

if I enjoyed the server like I used to I'd be down to RP with you, but otherwise hope u find the community ur looking for friend

"did you pirate minecraft" is crazy
