ban characters from having any perspective that predates 2010

I did order minis of my characters, and I also had them printed at 2x size. Sorry for the bad photo quality. I had a hard time painting these because the primer I used on them turned out to be NOT primer

Has it ever been known that messenger for a Bard Battle would be met with physical violence? Regarding the clown I can understand but when the same policy is applied to two clerics, two personal friends of mine, that's a bridge too far. And then Inny Yuln'aher went a bridge further than that. Have I not been requesting this entire time for her to send someone to negotiate the terms of the Bard Battle? Well, she did indeed send a messenger, but not to negotiate the terms of the Bard Battle but to dictate terms to the non-negotiation. This messenger bore only the information that I had annoyed Inny Yunln'aher, of which I was already well aware, the information that she wanted to continue to delay negotiations indefinitely, which I had already assumed, and the demand that I no longer bother her about it in the meantime, which I will disregard, and some red paint, the likes of which was applied to the messenger before it could be applied to me. If her messenger had been able to douse me I would not have even complained. The inability to roll with punches and harsh responses to ribbing are unbardsmenlike, as are backing down from a challenge once accepted. I am deeply displeased at how she has treated my friends and associates during this most recent debacle and I hope that she can continue the ordeal with a more correct attitude, and that next time she tries to catch me off guard she will try a little harder.

CARRION BLACK By James Vursur Dedicated to Yuliya Styrne [ Instrumental Version ] LYRICS: Sigmund saw the end of time before his very eyes He asked: 'can I get something that's more practically applied?' So Aenguls gave another scroll the pontiffs keep concealed On which the recipe for Carrion Black was revealed When I was a much younger lad, a novice to the world I walked into a tavern and I met a pretty girl Her eye sparkled like emeralds and her lips were ruby red She offered me a glass to drink and this is what she said: The first sip is the vilest bit of swill you've ever had. The second's guaranteed to be at least three times as bad It only gets worse going forth until your glass is drained Then you'll never want another drink 'sides Carri'n Black again. If rumor's true, the Black is brewed in secret monasteries Where saints labor in silence to produce the stuff for free For every mina that they make goes to the holy see But what's for sure is every glass elicits prayer from me There was an army general who was rigid and severe So when he didn't come to work the folk were fraught with fear It turned out that the tavern boy had got his order wrong They found him crowned in halfling town a-bellowing this song: The first sip is the vilest bit of swill you've ever had. The second's guaranteed to be at least three times as bad It only gets worse going forth until your glass is drained Then you'll never want another drink 'sides Carri'n Black again. I've wandered 'cross the world to find the finest drink to choose From Haleu'nor to Urguan I've sampled every brew The Elven wines are well and fine, and Grog is always fun But I'll go back to good ol' Black when all is said and done When I was a much richer man, I drank away my nights A friend observed my folly and at once took me aside. He asked 'How could you drink away the fortune that you'd gained?' I sat him on a barstool and I patiently explained: The first sip is the vilest bit of swill you've ever had. The second's guaranteed to be at least three times as bad It only gets worse going forth until your glass is drained Then you'll never want another drink 'sides Carri'n Black again.

Once upon a time in Oren there was scandal where a man had bet a thousand minae on the outcome of a certain horse race. Then, on learning that the horse in question was sick, he went on a monumental drinking binge in which he spent his last penny before the bet came due. I am very pleased to hear that Inny Yuln'aher has taken the advice I had been giving her for decades. Now that she has reorganized the college such that her own personal energy is not the only driving force of the institution perhaps she will be able to attend to other matters, such as the Bard Battle she accepted half a decade ago and has ignored ever since. Why would this be? What was primarily at stake for Inny Yuln'aher was her position as Headmistress of the Bard's College. Having now relinquished this prize, will she now continue to gamble with chips she no longer holds while I remain wholly liable for every red penny of the initial bargain? Such a matter might have been quietly resolved between our seconds had they been in communication with each other, but neither myself nor myself nor my second, Rhosyn Now-Cardinal Stafyr, have heard from Inny Yuln'aher nor her representative the least communication concerning this matter for the five years since she consented to the duel. If it is the case (as seems to be increasingly likely) that Inny Yuln'aher does not wish to proceed with the Bard Battle, she is welcome to express her withdrawal to me. I am a reasonable man, and I grow impatient to have this incident resolved one way or another. Until then, I have my means of breaking through her wall of silence and going forward it will not be so easy for her to ignore the situation. James Vursur Still Friend

DA DWED'RUM KRONOL'KRON | THE DWARVEN CALENDAR
Malins Welcome replied to _RoyalCrafter_'s topic in Dwarven Realms & Culture
Am I understanding correctly that the year on this calendar is the same as the so called "Second Age"? -
malins-welco.me has a new calendar (welcome Hyspia) and a new header which looks pretty nice if I do say so myself.
If YOUR nation has a calendar that is not on the site please let me know so I can add you in.

from David Wootton's 'The Invention of Science'
this is just a small example of what the common man in the 16th century would believe in, much less the 15th. there seems to exist a bizarre thought-process where '21st century values' are claimed to be widespread on lotc and largely looked down upon (this is only ever brought up in matters of sexuality and what some would call 'woke-ness', I notice). in reality, though, the loose nature that the average player takes to killing, our believing in fantastical things, in myths, our basic understanding of astrology - half the absurdity of the earlier centuries is already established as fact here because the absurdity is true. it's utterly insane to claim that our server is filled with 21st century values because it simply is not. the main moral points - our attitude to life, our system of justice, our free speech rights, our religious beliefs and freedoms - are all incredibly basic and undeveloped; bandits are slain instead of imprisoned, people usually don't get fair trials on lotc, if you insult the king you can expect to get beheaded, we are all perfectly willing to slaughter others for our religion (see the recent war). so what if someone chooses to roleplay a gay character? we believe that the stars and sun are both gods, we know of magical ointments that instantly cure wounds, we know that werewolves exist, we believe in unicorns, we believe and practice magic and witchcraft, we have utter faith in our bizarre myths and origin stories, we know that magical storms cast by evil magicians exist, we believe in saints and miracles - is that not enough immersion for you?
I would say that if your immersion is broken by the mere fact that two men are kissing (ew!!!!!) or by the fact that someone chooses to spare anothers life or that haense men don't actually beat their wives then you need to reevaluate what you come to lotc for; is it the roleplay narrative, is it the story of your characters, or is it the experience of olden and more antiquated values? if it's the first, then this shouldn't be a problem. if it's the latter, then I'm afraid that you've come to the wrong place - this being, above all else, a roleplay server, creative freedom being an essential part in that.
bit of a rant yes but I'm in the mood. if you were referring to some other 21st century value (grarh! why no racism) then feel free to leave a message below clarifying. either way my basic principle stands

OOC: A Public Letter Some have marked with annoyance some remarks I made a number of Saint’s Days ago wherewith I rhetorically severed Norland from all cultured lands. Indeed, this may seem to be an uncharacteristic example of malicious slander on my own part, but nothing could be further from the truth. I had been told by very reliable sources that certain gestures that represent common courtesy in every single other culture known to the descendants of Man represented in Norland a grave insult. From this information it was naturally concluded that likewise grave insults would be considered a common courtesy in those lands, and that was the true intention of my opening salvo. Now I see my error: that both courtesy and insult are considered insults alike in Norland, and, having no other ways to interact, I will trouble those people no longer. I did bow as I left the room. However, this bow was directed not at the Nordlingers, but at Headmisteress Inny Yuln’aher, who, not being Nordlingish, I trusted to be able to interpret the bow in a way that was not the diametric opposite of how everyone everywhere interpreted bowing. I hoped that she had not forgotten the reading of gesture as she seemed to have forgotten any Bardic practice that does not involve a connection to her mana, or even as she seems to have forgotten the procedures of a Bard Battle. As eager as she was to throw down on her own terms and in a crowd most positively disposed toward her, now several Saint’s Days have passed and neither myself nor my second, Rhosyn Stafyr, have been contacted by herself or her second to negotiate terms. I don’t blame her if such events have simply slipped her mind in the midst of her excessively busy schedule, but this sort of delay will begin to raise questions if it drags on for too long. I await your response as I once awaited response from my previous communications to you. Friend

A big part of what sets LOTC apart from other servers is its decade-long history. It would be a huge mistake to delete a subforum and leave another chunk of that history inaccessible for future players.

To all the people of the Petra: a response to recent declarations With a shove and a bump a whoospie-day Got my rowboat lost down the river way No oars on board and my sails are torn But at least I'm with the latest telescope adorned With a shove and a bump and a whoopsie-day It isn't looking good but it's too soon to say With a shove and a bump and a whoops-o-dee The Queen's declared a cadre for the artistry And if they asked me (they have not asked me) To the Vailu Valmiran they would write quickly With a shove and a bump and a whoops-o-dee My boat begins to sink along with hope for me With a shove and a bump and a whats-this-now I see there's been authority for ports endowed A Privy tasked with some docks to build No one tell them that there's already some just downhill With a shove and a bump and a whats-this-now I seem to be still floating but I don't know how Yours Truly, Friend
