Oh, so we're bringing back the settlement system from the beginning of this map? If we are, you left out the part where we have to gather all the materials manually using Vortex. (Only in small settlements though, those groups are marginalized enough to not pose a threat to server player count)

This existed around Talon's Grotto in Arcas last map, though this map seriously lacked any sort of tropical environments. The one thing I'm hoping for next map is for there to be a bit more of a tropical area instead of being forced to settle for a giant swampy forest.

9th slot of the hotbar, why would you want it anywhere else?

Hassan ibn Naric Zarkan squints at the diplomatic situation in the rest of the south, sighing as he rubbed his forehead, "I certainly hope this changing of power doesn't upset the balance among the rest of the signatories of the Pact of the Southern Winds..."

Looks like it's just armor stands from the images so I don't think there will be any server resource pack

Hassan ibn Naric Zarkan closed his eyes, dipping his head low to the ground as he sat on his knees in the Masjid of the Sheikhdom. Both his parents taken from him in a matter of days- in one single swoop. Hassan did nothing but pray for the next day and night- his knees sore, and eyes filled with tears as he prayed for their ascension to Jannah. His prayers were silent, though when he finally stood the next morning, eyes tired after his full day awake, he murmured quietly to himself, "Baba, mama... I will do all I can to make you proud."

Hassan ibn Naric Zarkan tilts his head at this news before a soft smile crossed over his features, "Sir Jarad was a good man, and has done much for the South. He deserves this rest."

he's gone mad with power, not even admins are safe

Viction Trito perks a brow in interest.

Hassan ibn Naric Zarkan dips his head upon hearing of the passing of Margrave Stanislaw, "...it is unfortunate to see yet another Jazloviecki go, though I'm sure that Maciej will be just as good a ruler. Stanislaw will be in my prayers on this night."

Viction Trito smiles widely at the new system! "I certainly hope this becomes a staple among Almaris scholars... it would be far easier to track down other similar sources you may need!"

I hope they stick to this, because a small map will really do wonders for helping out with more natural feeling roleplay. We've been in Almaris for so long and there are just so many different things that don't work all that well with the goals that the server wants to achieve.

Hassan ibn Naric Zarkan gets word of the happenings in the south from his quarters within the Margraviate of Grondo, pushing himself upwards as his brows perked at the list of signatories- a list of names that his father was among. He quickly rushed off to deliver the news to Maciej that he finally had confirmation in the survival of his family, and began making plans to travel to the south and reunite with the Qalasheen people.

I like anything in the renaissance and before that point- 18th century roleplay and posts of people begging for guns on the forums are something that I don't enjoy quite as much. I would personally like to see a bit more early medieval roleplay, though there aren't all too many places on the server that have that sort of focus.
