[!] Multiple official looking documents written in cursive can be seen plastered around multiple locations. [!] =<>= Do you need help dominating your enemies whether it be a civilization, undead, some other fucked up creature, some bandits, some other shit? Do you require some form of protection from a skillful warrior? Do you have a plague of creatures that need exterminating? Or perhaps you need a loan for something large you clearly don't have the mina for? Maybe you need a safer place to store your mina and other valuable items? Well at Baldwin’s Financial and Combat Services, I got you covered! Send a letter to Baldwin Ireheart anytime and we shall work out a fair and appropriate deal! Disclaimer: Deals may not be appropriate, but definitely fair!

[!] Small papers would be dotted around just about every wall you can see. The writing would be made of charcoal and what was on the paper would be short enough to be mass produced in quantity but lacked in quality as the writing would be huge and definitely not neat. [!] "Tired of living in a complex society filled with standards and morals? Reject the normal and seek out me! Wyzz! Send a bird to me! Do it! NOW!" [!] The writing would end off right there. [!]

[!] Pinned with a nail on a nearby wall within the Eternal Library would be a piece of paper written in formal and professional handwriting... The paper would be signed by no one... [!] ---<>--- We are the ones who have been openly sought out in every settlement. We are known as nothing but scum in the eyes of the inbred who live within silver. We are the ones who run and hide from an ongoing genocide that the others ignore. I can speak for all of us that we are tired of your discriminatory hypocrisy and there are definitely a lot of us who have felt the same. Some in the places that you think none reside. Some that are closer than you think. Speaking of close interactions, we hope you enjoy the damage that we have caused towards the Eternal Library. Because we have a couple of demands: I. An openly admitted apology from the Haelun’or government for the still ongoing genocide towards the Impure, any previous wrong doings towards the Impure, and the discrimination towards the Impure and other races who have been disregarded as lesser beings. II. New laws to make discrimination towards the Impure and other races Illegal. III. For the Impure populace and the other races to have equal rights to first class citizens. Even as visitors. IV. A formal end of the Impure Genocide. V. The removal of any “Pure” Elves from the Haelun’or government that discriminate against the Impure, other races, and have beliefs to continue harm towards the Impure. VI. A formal removal of the Impure, Pure, and Lesser belief. If the demands are not met in one Elven week and three Elven days: I. We shall be forced to further our demands. II. We shall be forced to continue hostile actions towards the state to a much greater extent. ---<>---

Lug finds this off a wall somewhere. He stares at it as he reads it. "Huh, tey t'ink dei can scare us? Or even stop us? Tats funny." he chuckles "Wae teh show propagandah oren! Woooooooooo! Lets not show dehm all teh losses yet onleh show teh victoriehs." he takes out his knife and slashes an 'R' into the missive. "Weh will onleh come back lateh on, wer ah growin' group. Now, tiome teh seh ef anyone escapehd or ef dis missive tells teh truth." He says before waddling off. Leaving the vandalism where it stood.

Lug would read the wanted poster upon a nearby wall. He rips it off the wall as he reads it thoroughly before snorting. "Onleh two-hundrehd? T'ought weh wuld beh wort' moar dehn dat. Alsoe our fasion sense is horrible? Ie mean ie dun' believe dat said from teh people who wear whiote powdehed wigs teh hiode der evergrowin' baldness." Lug laughs hard holding his stomach before crumpling the missive and throwing it behind him, Really Lug? Littering? Have standards.

Eldaerenth clearly remembers the mention of a band of Orcs capturing a singular high elf in Haelun'or and having the audacity to boast about it in this victory missive like we did, that's fair, guess we are even. No, Wait! That high Elf was a traitor to the state, how generous of them to deal with her for us!

"Hm." Eldaerenth crumples the missive and throws it behind him. "Lets review." he says to himself. "The attackers believe they won because they managed to kill four of us while we killed none of them. However, the defenders think they won because we successfully defended Elvenesse against our attackers. The attackers never breached our walls, we've opened the gate for most of the raid, every time we charged they fled, every time they charged we stood our ground. They managed to kill four of our soldiers, people who are willing to die for their nation. Soldiers can be replaced once perished." He states in his high elven logical mindset. "Why did the attackers flee in the end when they were this confident to make such a missive? Wouldn't they have kept the raid going?" Eldaerenth shrugs before chuckling. "Though they did help us by kidnapping a traitor of the Silver State and dealing with her for us, I thank them for that." he says with a smirk "This missive is a joke, I made circles around some of them." Eldaerenth realizes that he has been talking to himself for quite some time in public and shuts himself up.

[!] Oliver signs this post!

Oliver does indeed shrug!

Goi would be sitting on the ground within a forest with his tiny legs crisscrossed. He would be seen multi-tasking eating a banana with his left hand while also reading the missive with his right hand. Goi just shrugs his massive shoulders at the missive as he finishes his tasty treat. Throwing the peel behind him for someone to someday come across or it sits there until it decomposes to lustrous fresh dirt.

[!] An official looking document can be seen posted up outside of Talon’s Port gates, one is also posted up in the cloud temple, and one document is sent by bird personally to the leader of the Metinan company. Looking at it more closely, the official looking document has no name…? [!] +-+-+ ~The Sixth of The Grand Harvest, Year 10 of the Second Age~ A citizen is defined by an individual who resides in a city or town, someone who enjoys the privileges provided by the government, and someone who is thus loyal because of it. You, the Metinan company have been nothing but the opposite of loyal. From the start you have backstabbed us, you ridiculed us, you thought of us as weak and you pried your claws into that falsification. None of us of Talons Port never wanted you here in the first place, the audacity to think you could take it upon yourselves to claim that you were helping us willingly when in fact we all know that you wouldn't help without a price. Even then the first time you were here, you were paid thirty mina and never fell through with the deal we agreed upon. Causing commotion and more trouble for us in front of the Great Rex of Krugmar. I myself had to lick a decapitated goblin head to prove that we were the right group to be trusted. From then you have caused nothing but more problems for us, doing the work of guards without authorization, making fun of the kind people of the Tai-Ping district from how they look and their way of life to the point where Tai-Ping retaliated, They have indeed harmed a council member of their own choice, they are even willing to break the law in any form to appease their clients. Even if it includes harming or even murdering another citizen within the walls for the right price. There have been numerous occasions where citizens reported the Metinan company and Tai-Ping has personally requested the removal of them from the city from the day they arrived. We predicted back then that the Metinan company would retaliate in some form when we are to kick them out eventually. Which in all honesty, when they decided to visit Talons Port for the first time, our military lacked in all forms. But since then myself and The Minister of Defense have worked hard with all of our effort, strategizing, gaining resources, gaining new members, gaining new allies. Now we have the ability to finally enforce as a whole and finally go through what everyone has been telling us to do, Which is to banish the Metinan company for their wrong doings. We apologize to the people of Tai-Ping for not acting upon it sooner, though that's the reasoning why we couldn't act upon it in the first place. Furthermore, since the company is banished as we also seized their property which to be presumed it was used for non-home like purposes. Shall it also be known that with their banishment, it also includes the removal of their citizenship as a whole by default even if it wasn't stated in the document. Like, How can individuals be citizens if they're banished? Truth be told they cant. Anyways, we do not persist in hostile action towards the Metinan Company as their own doing has caused us to retaliate. We do not wish to harm you outside the borders of land which house Talons Port, though entering within the borders will result in the authorization of execution which has been stated in the original banishment. Any form of further retaliation from the Metinan company will further prove our means of banishment, as at this point the only thing they could do is attack us physically or further try to soil our reputation which we won't listen to and is most definitely slander. Though as a warning for any leader of any sort who reads this, whether you be a part of a government in some form, or even the leader of your own company, it doesn't matter where you are from or what you are a part of. As a warning from Talon’s Port to you, the Metinan company will cause you more issues and they cannot be trusted. We of Talons Port and the Militia will not seek to rectify our actions since we believe its justifiable and lastly we of Talons Port kindly like to say f*ck off and never return. Thank you!

[!] Jake Grunwalder would read the response with a smirk "Cowards, they hide behind lies... Though! Retaliation was predicted none of the less. I wonder what other idiotic decisions they will make." he laughs

~The Flower Bandits~ Religion Flower Spirits: The flower spirits are balls of flower matter (Similar to how Epiphytes are made of plant matter) that are only rumored to exist. As the rumor goes, it says that there is one Flower Spirit for every type of flower. They supposedly speak in whistles, and emit a lively green glow! -+- [!] A field of flowers that are believed that the field has been grown by a Flower Spirit. -+- Flower Epiphytes: Those creatures are considered Demi-Gods to the Flower Spirit as we believe the flower spirit granted them the form because they are there to serve a greater purpose in life even if it is unknown to others, or themselves. They can be instantly granted Guardian status if they decide to be a flower Bandit. The Others Wise: People who carry flowers around on their person at all times. We let them pass if they give us a flower. If on the chance they don’t have a flower for themselves but one for us, we offer them to join if they decline their status and is changed to cursed who don’t deserve the privilege to carry flowers. The Naives: Kids, or children, under the age of 13 who are not smart enough to make proper decisions and most likely won’t have a flower on their person. However, if we see them on the roads we give them a flower. Though, if the naive do have a flower on their person, they will be praised for their great wisdom! Cursed: People who don’t carry flowers or they don’t have enough for themself. We force them to give us their stuff because our cause for flowers is greater than any other cause. If refused, they flee, or they enact violence, they are resisting the flower spirit and must be killed unless one of the elders stops the action. Titles Elders: Three People who lead the entirety of the bandits equally, they oversee everything and they have gone through a trial of strength and a trial of wisdom to be granted the title of an Elder. This lasts for ten weeks in total. If one elder goes missing or has perished, a vote will be placed upon an Elite to take its place. If there is only one elder or none. Trials will undergo early and the time limit will reset for elders. Elites: Elites hold equal power to guardians however they have done a massive deed to the Flower Bandits or they have been devoted to them for many decades. This title is granted by an elder and it’s highly respected. Guardians: Normal Flower Bandits who praise the flower spirits and follow the Flower Spirits virtues. Honorary: People outside the group who proven themself to be a friend of flowers and us while also being a formidable ally. Flowies: Initiates to the Flower Bandits who undergo an OOC week of learning/training before getting enacted into a Guardian. Or they are children until they become a Guardian of 13 and above. -+- [!] A Flower Bandit relaxing after a long day at work. -+- Punishment Titles Void Spawn: Someone who majorly/directly betrays the flower bandits within or outside the group, they are to be shunned and will be killed for betraying the Flower Spirits. To be a Void Spawn, one must be declared such by an Elder. The decision is not set in stone, however, another Elder can disagree. If 2 Elders disagree, it falls to the 3rd to be the tiebreaker. -+- [!] Some Void Spawn executing one of our own out of hatred and spite. -+- Exiled: Someone who has done moderate/major crimes and sentenced to not only become shunned but exiled from the fort for a time frame or life. Outcasts: Someone who has done moderate/small crimes and sentenced to be shunned by the rest of the group for a certain amount of time. Important Events The Blossoming: A time when the potential Elders undergo their trials and are chosen. Also, a massive festival is thought to happen during these times, alcohol, drugs, and general celebration regularly occur. Religion Culture Birth: When the child is born, an elder would place a flower petal symbolizing them to become a Flowie. A general celebration from the community would follow. Marriage: The couple would host a ceremony as an elder witness them exchange the most beautiful flower they own symbolizing marriage. From there the couple can say or do whatever they wish regarding being married. -+- [!] A flower that was used in a Flower Bandit marriage ceremony previously. -+- Death: We cover the corpse in leaves before setting such a blaze preferably a controlled fire in the middle of a field. Symbolizing that their death would aid the growth of a new flower field, their ashes scattered, and the seeds of flower scattered along with them. -+- [!] A corpse being burned in Flower Bandit culture. -+- General Culture Housing/architecture: We live in Halfling like burrows surrounded by a wooden wall with flowers all around and inside the fort. Piked heads would be seen outside the fort as well or hanging bodies outside as a warning. Clothing: Anything but it has to cover the face unless it’s for a reasonable cause or an Elder states, or demands otherwise. -+- [!] A plague doctor uniform worn by one of the Flower Bandits. -+-

Thor O’Hara sheds a tear while he laughs on the ground after he reads the missive, not believing what he sees. But knows that it did happen and he should be serious about it but just can’t help laughing.

I have no words.

Before I say anything I would like to say that I never had an Izkuthii or was apart of the Izkuthii culture, so I am coming at this at a player perspective. I can agree that this lore piece is like a Jig-Saw puzzle as its really fleshed out. Every single detail and ability Izkuthii possess has atleast a paragraph behind it and a couple of Redlines more or less. It makes the piece complicated as everything said had an affect/plays along with another detail or ability, It also makes it mildly confusing aswell. Anyways, from the time I’ve spent on LOTC I have met two Izkuthii and I have deemed them pretty rare where of they are almost non-existent. I can see that this lore implements a way for Izkuthii to come back to have more players interact with them is really good and the abilities, curses, details, etc are pretty unique and adds diversity like all races should on LOTC. However judging by the long complexity of it, it may take awhile for it to be reviewed and fixed. Though i’m excited to see where this can go if it picks up any traction. +1
