- A DOVETAIL MASQUERADE - Issued 14 S.A. - To be held 15 S.A The ribbon-tied fingers of two courting Mali’thill. The left belongs to a male Scholar, and the right a female Sillumir. [art by @zanyssins on twitter] The Mali’thill are a resilient people - that much is certain. In respect to such, despite ill-intentioned foreign presences attempting to harm the Silver State - we move onwards. We progress forwards. The Mali’thill carve out their own path, one of progress, and we PROSPER in the face of all. In most recent times, Elcihi has truly blossomed. The Silver Citizenry fare well, our agricultural needs are well-met by most bountiful harvests : Larihei smiles upon the Children of Silver eternally. Yet, it is much past due time that the blessed Citizenry are given an event such as this. Tailors, vintners, singles - all Mali’thill are invited to attend our grand Dovetail Masquerade. The Dovetail Masquerade : Event Schedule -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [9pm GMT / 4pm EST] A Warm Welcome : As the event begins, we shall welcome in our guests as they slowly trickle in. Guests will be encouraged to pick up a Commemorative Pin upon entry, before indulging in some fruitful conversation with the rest of the party-goers. As well as a plentiful number of beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, our guests are encouraged to try some of the various small-dishes prepared and available along the sides of the establishment. --- [10pm GMT / 5pm EST] A Radiant Rendezvous : After greeting all the other guests, eligible Mali’thill will be encouraged to take a coloured pin and all shall be asked to hold a ribboned glass. Each group of those with the same coloured pin shall consist of four members and is encouraged to socialise as a party for this section. The colour of the ribbon upon the glass shall signify one’s intent in attending. It is always most wonderful to be able to meet new individuals, get to know unfamiliar lliran - or perhaps even learn something new about lliran you already know-! --- [11pm GMT / 6pm EST] A Fine Performance : Organised by our most wonderful Okarir’maehr, party-goers will find great entertainment in the form of a most wonderful theatre performance. One looks forward to the show that the fabulous actors of the Silver State have to offer-! If any of the blessed Silver Citizenry might wish to audition for a role in the play, they must ensure their calendar is open for this time upon the night of the Masquerade. Auditions shall be held over the next two Elven Days. [FRIDAY & SATURDAY, 9 - 10pm GMT / 4 - 5pm EST ] --- [12pm GMT / 7pm EST] Silver-Dove’s Dance : To conclude the formal section of the night, the blessed Citizenry are asked to participate in the Silver-Dove’s Dance. This is to be a waltz, conducted in pairs, with the female dance-partner taking the leading role - to represent the lady Larihei - and the male dance-partner following - to represent the rest of the Mali’thill following in Her footsteps. The dance shall, of course, be accompanied by a beautiful piano-led orchestral composition. This night is certain to be one to remember. Once the Dance is completed, the Okarir’mali is to give a concluding speech, then allowing the Dovetail Masquerade to fold neatly into a more relaxed afterparty of fine socialisation and dancing until one might wish to retire to their chambers. Masquerade Dress Code -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- One is expected to attend in proper masquerade attire - a mask is most required! It is asked that this mask cover only the front of the face and not be fully-hooded, though one is encouraged to speak to Elokarir’mali if they have any complaints or inquiries upon this. The general colour-scheme is asked to be light colours : whites, pastels and silvers. Dulled-colours of a slightly darker variety are also acceptable, yet I’d ask none turn up looking like an impoverished Mali’ame, clothed in but tattered scraps of bright patchwork. For those less inclined towards tailorship, our wonderful Okarir’maehr has provided some lovely mask designs that one is permitted to use. We look forward to welcoming you to our Dovetail Masquerade, lliran: it is time to get your outfits (and high elven pickup lines) ready !

this is genuinely fantastic, I can only applaud the work put into this. just spot-on perfect <3

"Be sure to report any suspicious action to the Silver Council-!" remarks one Mali'thill.

elker’ilum - THE NIGHT OF LUMINESCENCE- Issued 12 S.A. A jar of fireflies, collected from around the Silver City. [Firefly Night, Brianna Moore] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq1xmbE8byY] Since the times of Larihei have the Mali’thill striven for light - illumination, in both mind and in body. It is said that, when Mali were simply Mali, the only providers of light were the Sun and primitive Fire. It was only through the inventions of Larihei that manufactured Light was given use in daily life - the creation of lanterns, controlled fire and arcane luminescence provided permanent sources of light to guide the way. In the forests of Malin, light was rare - a slim beam through darkened canopies, a small campfire in a clearing as to not burn down the old trees. Larihei was one such source of light to us all. With the first iteration of elCihi’thilln, it is said that the city was lit with purely the arcane, which shone so very brightly that one could hardly tell day from night without looking directly to the skies. The Mali’thill are a people that shine with promise. To celebrate both this and the current season, the Blessed Citizenry are asked to come together for the Night of Luminescence. It is hoped that all shall be able to show their inner light here. The Night of Luminescence : Event Schedule -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [9pm GMT / 4pm EST] Glowing Banquet : As the night begins, the Silver Tavern opens its doors, having prepared a variety of wonderful dishes to share with all. The Silver City would be most pleased should Citizenry bring their own dishes to share about, in true community spirit. Please enjoy this unique and wonderful cuisine, making good discussion with your fellow Mali’thill as you await the next event of the evening. [10pm GMT / 5pm EST] Firefly Hunt : Though certainly requiring energy, this activity is open to all, from oem’iian to elders. Group together and collect out fireflies in jars - it is the season for their appearance, after all. These jars of fireflies shall light the stage for the next event. [11pm GMT / 6pm EST] Lights Displays and Talent Show : We shall welcome talented Mali’thill to take the stage and perform for the blessed Citizenry, with acts ranging from beautiful musical pieces to dazzling displays of arcane prowess. In the spirit of meritocracy, prizes will be awarded to contestants with the most-loved displays of talent. [12pm GMT / 7pm EST] Releasing the Stars : Finally, in the centre of the Silver Square - where the sky is clear, dark and unobstructed - we shall release the fireflies earlier caught, and award a prize to the group with the most fireflies collected. The prizes for the best performances will also be awarded at this time. With this, we shall conclude our festival, a complementary pin given to all there. We look forward to a wonderful evening of fine dining, enjoyable socialisation and, of course, beautiful displays of light.

It was a pleasure having you around, man - stay safe, and we'll certainly miss you;; <3 You can and will get through this, and I hope things go well during your break and you are able to get everything resolved as much as possible. Here for you always if you need anything at all, and you'll always have a place here if/when you return :]

I've been attending model UN's before I even really got into LotC - they are so good 👏👏 would recommend, for anyone with interest in political-POV rp !! definitely looking to get back into it when COVID regulations allow it :]

"Another wonderful paper." she remarked, reading it over her morning cup of tea. "It gladdens me to see such a fantastic display of true journalism!"

"maehr'sae hiylun'ehya! Truly, this is what one loves to see. " an enthusiastic Tillun'sae comments.

"maehr'sae hiylun'ehya - I look forwards to the PROGRESS this Elven Week shall bring-!" an enthusiastic Mali'thill rejoices.

"maehr'sae hiylun'ehya. It is about time that the Mali'thill return to their roots - the mastery and study of the arcane." an elfess spoke with pleasure, reading over the joyful missive. Progress was soon to return.

"Finally, a more accessible and practical farming plan!" an elfess expressed with satisfactory smile, reading the paper over a good cup of Haelun'orian Tea.

1 - I enjoyed it quite a bit !! have been off exploring other hobbies - picked up the guitar and some video-editing skills while i was gone, which was fantastic !! definitely missed it, though , addicted as i am;; 2 - Now that I'm back, I am once again funneling my entire soul into the Haelun'orian High-Elf RP sphere, and working to eviscerate the mina also the impures B)) I know a couple people have asked me if I'm planning on reapplying for CT, and the answer to that is - idk man, not for a bit at least ,, wanna enjoy the freedom of being able to dedicate more time to fun rp stuff before i consider at all hopping back into staff !! :] but yea !! definitely a lot of fun stuff planned !!

Most meaningful RP experience? There are a couple that spring to mind !! From my first day on the server, where I had nooo idea what i was doing, having applied on a whim a few years ago and then never having logged on - whitelisted without making a proper character ! Definitely lead to some interesting experiences. A month or so later, my first ever experience of High Elf RP was incredibly meaningful - since then, i've been hooked to the haelun'orian community and rp style !! In more recent time, the section of rp just before my break - while incredibly, incredibly stressful - was also very insightful ! A general favourite few RP experiences : 're-educating' a snow elf with Iverach's character, touring around ImCookie's character on their first day returning, debating and arguing with a numerous host of individuals on a large range of topics [mostly purity,,], and that one telescope rp i had with nerdypenguins' character, sitting on the city walls. I also thoroughly enjoyed every new player that came to the gates, and that I had the privilege of introducing to our little rp community! Have made a lot of new friends that way, met a ton of interesting people, and had a lot of unforgettable rp experiences! I'm not really sure when I flipped the switch from being a new player myself to being the person who welcomes them in and takes responsibility for their little community, but I'm very glad that I stuck around long enough to do so. funnily enough - none of my biggest rp experiences tended to be actual events, and moreso things that the community and helf playerbase had come up with !! absolutely loved all the casual talks and arguments in the tavern etc. I also remember the sutican and fennic rp that happened during that first few weeks, but we dont talk about that here, ok saffryie, mika and [various redacted banned players]??? Favourite lore? An easy one !! Biased as I am, it would be the history of the Mali'thill !! always been and always will be a huge interest of mine, there's just so much history to it, and so much still left to explore and build upon !! For a non-helf lore, I really quite like the Orc, Druid and Red-Faith lore as well. These sort of groups with defined cultures, rules, social norms and interesting features are always what make LotC unique and fantastic, the stories and legacies carried down through generations of the playerbase! In short, i am just a big fan of playermade history ;; If you ever had the chance to write a lore piece what would it be for, and why? Hmhm - if I had the chance to write a lore piece, I would probably go for something technical - steampunk-style, a cool invention !! Alternatively, perhaps a magical creature, as those are always fun; just little things that add to the world! Honestly, I don't think I could write a full-on lore piece for an entirely new race, magic, etcetera, on my own - but smaller things that add quality-of-life are definitely in thought! Mostly, I would strive to make something that my character could legitimately invent or discover IRP, something that creates further RP to stem from it, something that adds to the enrichment of history and fits the story I am trying to tell ! :] I'm not the sort of person to be a 'collector', if you will - there is no point in learning/making magics and various other lore items if they have no irp use or purpose to them !! What do you think of Almaris so far? Only just got here, but so far - having a lot of fun !! definitely a lot of things that i want to get done, cool rp i wanna try and push for !! I can however say definitively that the builds I've seen so far are absolutely gorgeous. Still haven't figured out Vortex, though,,

i dont believe i've done one of these yet, and having just got back, it seems an appropriate time ! with over 2 years (like,, damnnn, thats a lot of hours) on this server, having had a 6 month break just prior to returning to visit yesterday, i'd say i'm ready to answer some questions. ask me anything :] ~ puff

Welcome to the next event put on by the Community Team: The Labyrinth The Labyrinth is a large maze filled with puzzles, traps and treasure. A chain of mazes, each one going forth gets more difficult - though with risk there is always reward. Will you stop after the first section, pocket your findings and leave? Or will you risk it all for something more and continue on. The choice is yours. Some say those who go in… never come back out. [ THIS EVENT SHALL RUN FROM 16/5/2020 TO THE END OF THE 18/5/2020 ] Instructions To begin the maze, you must gather a team of 2 - 4 (the Labyrinth must be attempted as a team and cannot be done solo) then make your way to the Cloud Temple where you make a /creq asking to attempt the Labyrinth. After that, the CT handling your request will give you further instruction. However there are some important rules you should be aware of; 1. If you die (a very real possibility) in the Labyrinth all your prizes are forfeited. 2. Any use of exploits in the Labyrinth will result in failure and any earned prizes will be forfeited. 3. You will only have one attempt at the Labyrinth, ever for the duration of the event. 4. Your team may escape at a checkpoint with the current prizes your team may have, or they may continue with the potential to earn more rewards; but risking death and total failure even more. 5. You must enter the Labyrinth with an empty inventory. As you will lose everything if you die in the Labyrinth. 6. There is a time limit of ONE HOUR. Should you fail to exit the Labyrinth in that time, you are considered to have LOST - all your shiny collected bits will be GONE.. [[PREWARNING : do be aware that only ONE group will be able to participate at a time, so there may be a wait if many creqs are made!]] Special thanks to the Community Events Team for working on this project!

get well soon ❤️ we’re all here for you, and I hope you return in good health after fighting off this terrible virus 🙏

nice rewrite! very cool – would love to see this magic make a return ?❤️ I was forced to write this yes..

Monk Guidance; Your View Hello everyone! Recently, the Community Team’s been talking about how we can improve monk guidance on LotC. The team is interested in hearing y’all’s thoughts. How can we improve guidance? What do you like or dislike about guidance? Is monk guidance helpful at all, or is it completely useless? What is Monk Guidance? Monk guidance is essentially what the Community Team uses to help teach new players about the server! We teach them the essentials to roleplaying; things like emoting, chat commands, common rules that are broken by relatively new players. We also take them to the nation(s) of the race they applied for. For example if a Human player applied, we’d take them to a settlement such as Oren or Haense! Who does Monk Guidance? Monk guidance is done by monks of course! More specifically Wilven Monks, which are the persona’s used by the CT team for introducing new players to the server, and maintaining Cloud Temples beautifully kept grounds. Why are we changing Monk Guidance? We are trying our best to reduce the amount of OOC communication between the new player and the CT member performing the guide, to help them understand the basics of roleplay as well as get acquainted with the chat commands. Practice makes perfect, of course! We’d like to see more players who are new stay on the server. Sometimes new players find it difficult getting engaged into roleplay when they don’t know anybody around them, or are even too nervous to engage. Creating a good first experience for fresh players is our top priority, and expanding and changing the way we do monk guidance is a good step in the right direction for helping make that first experience a meaningful one. Monk guidance right now seems kind of tedious, it’s like a half an hour tutorial that you can’t get out of when you first start playing a game. To change that, we’re trying to make the monk guidance more enjoyable for new players as well as Community Team members! How can we improve Monk Guidance for New Players? Have you ever had a negative experience with the monks? As a New Player, were you helped by a monk? Did the monk guidance give you a better understanding of how the server works? Why or why not? Do you think that monk guidance is beneficial to players who are new to the server? As a new player, were you left feeling more confident after being helped by a monk? Do you feel that the monks are necessary for assisting new players on the server?
