amyselia

felt

I haven't been around in Almaris for too long, but I do like this map for the individual immersion it gives way to. It feels more realistic than the ones I've been in previous (Atlas, Arcas) because of the immense size. Large maps are quite controversial but I've always reasoned that nations shouldn't be like 1 minute away from each other because I feel as though it replicates how a world without many quick means of transport would be. HOWEVER, in that same breath I'll acknowledge that there is a strong lack of communication between nations and settlements in Almaris that I think has really stunted how diplomacy and overall world building work this time around, thereby decreasing community immersion which I feel is more important than any personal interest I have. It isn't realistic to live in a bubble without acknowledging the existence of your neighboring states. There isn't enough want for interaction with nations outside of your own, which has led to a lot of stagnation in conflict, storytelling and the progress of new settlements. I don't believe this is entirely the fault of the world though, its based on different groups arguing about how LotC should be, with the added tragedy of a missing unifier (large-scale ST events and global engagement motivators). Without interaction, new settlements are extremely DIFFICULT to capitalize on if there isn't already a dedicated playerbase and community connected to it (something like Savoy), so we've seen very few of them rise to the occasion. Isolation isn't good for any playerbase.

Claude Élisabeth receives the missive from a courier designated to the office of Civil Affairs as she journals the recent events of Providence, a burdened sigh on her lips in being interrupted. Nevertheless, the urgency of the courier's entrance has her cast her work aside momentarily. As she finalizes the portion directed to the Emperor and his Chancellery, her eyes mount a fraught wariness. Balmy fingers conjoin to form the lorraine cross over the madame's chest, beginning a soft prayer: "Let the fire of Owyn decimate the enemies of the descendants, those who would tear us from the faith of GOD. Let our Emperor, pious of bone and marrow, lead us from these trying times. Amen." In the next few days, Claude would be seen in the library of the Providence Museum investigating voidal activities.

Lady Pruvia is left speechless by the number of those in support, articulating her thoughts of support towards the courier that had entered the letter.

The Viscountess Provins murmurs down to her petite heiress, aiding her in sounding out the syllables strewn about the treaty notice; in doing this, the young mother exhibited little patience, until Deedee voiced out a ring of the word 'Azdrazi'. Claude's fingers careered towards shutting that notice posthaste, peering down to Deedee with the thought of the youth's grandfather broiling in her mind... What would she tell her? She could not tell her that her grandfather was being hunted by his own people, could she? She opted simply to sigh, and reached for another rendition of the story of Julia and Horen. @clonky

Claude had been fixed outside the Countess' doors for some hours now, a letter and parfum phial clutched at the midsection- both for delivery to the ailing princess; a charity for an expected private session regarding the Rosemoor Bill. She lingered, breaths awry, with the expectation that the princess was merely deferring the meeting because of her contempt with the Lords after the injury to her person. A natural reaction to contempt, but had the Countess realized further detriment in her old age? Anathema could ill a soul already hurt, and expel the life from a finely fettled woman. Claude had always known Elizabeth as the greater of the elder Novellens. The boldest and most affable, never less than the magnitude of her birth, and yet never greater than the youngers that outranked her, despite their common admonishment of the nature of such a rule of succession. The Princess Imperial was, in all things regal, proper and orthodox. Thus was the moment when Amelia ( @libbybelle ) exited the room- tears festered in her grey eyes -the only moment that Claude had ever wondered what had gone wrong in anything with reference to HIH, The Princess Imperial, Elizabeth Anne. A model of grace, and now... a phantom of hope.

momentous :D

Claude Élisabeth shares apple juice with her newly returned family in celebration, donning inviolable juvility.

"Ah, so the mice want to chase their own tails!" Apollina-Calypsa guffawed amidst a barrage of laughter, "I say we bury this 'needle' in a haystack and be rid of him!"

The rosy-hued flesh of Claude Élisabeth's ears were brusquely encumbered with the screeches of several courtiers as they passed the halls of her new bedroom in the Augustine, the pamphlet of this announcement clutched tightly to the bodice of each lady. "Annika to be the next Queen of Haense?!" They yawped in disbelief, voices in promenade now beginning to dwindle as their distance grew longer. Claude, at 5 years old, was sat in front of her vanity, a wide-tooth comb angled towards the tips of drenched curly hair. She drew in a singular thought: "I wonder what happened to the last Queen..."

wtf... I'm the only amy here bucko

The exulted countenance of the fairest, Apollina-Calypsa, commands the memorandum with the ardent zeal of her youth's veneration, finely manicured fingers arriving over an ivory-lined altar adorned with various canonist figures, among them being a lace-embroidered Lorraine Cross fitted perfectly to the lady's petite palm. She ferried such towards her chest in prudent silence, succeeding with a whispered prayer: "I pray you may bring us to absolution, my dear lord, for your people have fallen to the temptation beset in crimson fields of goat hair. Amen"

So long, farewell.. I’ll miss you silver!

You application was outstanding! I only need you to make one minor change! Any new character created can not have been a strong contender to- or can not have memory (i.e do not mention it ingame)- of being a strong part of a large unit such as the Carolus Brigade previous to entering Arcas, for fear that it might disrupt the natural flow of the roleplay set up in the server. Please make it so that she was either an insignificant character, or that she has completely forgotten her participation in such as a result of an event (maybe a tragic brigade-gone-wrong)! Please refer to the wiki to find any piece of lore you need on the descendant races and current events.
