A New Raven Soars With the steady inactivity of Ravenmire as of late under the ruling of Tiwari Kervallen-Elmwood, her daughter, Meira Kervallen-Elmwood, has assumed the position of Duchess to rule the lands of Ravenmire. Along with Meira are her Chancellor, Mayor, and Grand General to aid in the development of the city. The prior attempts of Ravenmire have been non-religiously affiliated, but under the new ruling, that will be no more. Ravenmire will now be yet another Canonist land and everything will be explained here soon. History The citizens of Ravenmire have a deep-rooted history alongside other cultures and nations, originating from the five founders of the nation. To properly explain Ravenmire's history, one would need to ensure they do not forget that before the nation was established many of their founding members and families were part of other nations or vassal states of such nations, such as Lurin, Vikela, Haense, and more. In the early beginnings, Ravenmire was but a faint idea without a name, location, or even any real intention within the heads of a few people. But as time passed and the five founding individuals made progress in life where they were, the idea grew louder and louder in their heads as their ideas and endeavors grew out of scale for the places they otherwise called their homes. The whole concept of building and making a nation of Ravenmire by Meira Kervallen-Elmwood’s mother fell into a steady state of inactivity. The lands were desolate with only ruins and a few camps around in the areas to be seen. Meira’s mother made a valiant attempt at creating what she envisioned, though when Meira saw the remains left behind, Meira felt a sudden need to fix what was done. With Meira being the daughter of Tiwari Kervallen-Elmwood, she would be the next of kin to take over, with a vision to fix all that was done. However, promises that were made by Tiwari will still be kept, such as lands to those promised of such. Population Ravenmire was originally formed by workmen and scholars of many guilds and families, who have focused their lives on research and exploration. Due to such a unique government being established, a notable influx of elves and a few humans began to populate the nation from the get-go. Records have indicated that this was due to the founders of the nation, which come from a long line of elvish blood along with human blood, allowing many elven and human lineages to form and be added to the nation through simple expansions. While such may be the case the nation isn’t solely made up of humans and elves, but rather of many different races, including some dwarves, orcs, and other similar races or beings. Due to this, the nation became a focal point of cultural and scientific exchange, resulting in the Ravenmire we know today. Guardforce & Military Ravenmire has been placed under permanent surveillance by the local guard force, known as ‘The Watch’, which has been acting as the local guard force and are often acting as first responders in case of any emergencies. While ‘The Watch’ consists of watchmen, which are normal guards, they are also known to have more specialized personnel, which often act as inspectors and detectives in case of break-ins, murders, and much more. Besides watchmen and inspectors, one may also find members of the Justicar within the city, who are known to handle legal cases and are often seen within the court, acting as lawyers or judges alike. While ‘The Watch’ handles most internal affairs the nation of Ravenmire also has a more specialized military, which is known as the ‘Ravengarde’. Members of the garde are often heavily trained individuals, who had undergone excessive training during their time as simple squires before they were allowed on any actual battlefields. Specialized in the usage of polearms and longswords for short-ranged battles most of the Ravengarde are capable of fighting and defending the national borders with ease, while still maintaining a high level of professionalism. Religion Religion is a rather important topic within Ravenmire. While the worshiping of any god, aspect, and so on is allowed one may not force others into religious practices if they do not wish to do so. However, with the idea of religion comes one at the center of it all. That center would be to follow the ideals and path of Godfrey, to follow the teachings of the scroll of the Gospel, and allow those that wish to seek retribution in the eyes of God and find a higher power. Such will be the will of the church. While following the church's teachings it would urge those who do not seem interested in the church to attempt to visit and learn from the gospel of course trying to worship GOD and respect the other cultures of the region shall be done to both understand and learn mutually. Alchemy Within the nation of Ravenmire, alchemy is a main focus on development upon the cliffs of the nation. For the residents of the city, the use of alchemy is second nature, the buildings, paintings, and even its streets are suffused with alchemical construction. With the level of alchemical business booming within the city, contributing to most of the nation's economy. These businesses include but are not limited to alchemical stores, apothecaries, potion makers, automatons, and far more. Besides such many skilled alchemists reside within the city, often offering their services to those willing to pay a small fortune. Thanks to this, Ravenmire has always thrived on the promotion and common use of alchemy and has always been a place where anyone can safely practice their craft without persecution so long as they are not harming themselves intentionally or others. Economy Like most nations, the economy of Ravenmire relies on numerous trade agreements with other nations and settlements alike, which reside within the neighboring lands. While Ravenmire is a rather secluded nation it is often known to trade special goods, ranging from locally found materials such as deposits of Daemonsteel and the Shadegrain which the nation also uses to build their homes with, or to unique herbs and materials, which can only be found in the northern lands of Aevos. Besides such the nation heavily focuses on its other endeavors, which focus mainly on the fields of alchemy, ranging from the creation of advanced items to simple potions, which might get sold all over the continent. Additionally, the nation also houses a great number of varying shops, businesses, and stalls from all sorts of people and professions, being a great location to go to for your shopping needs. The city having a large harbor towards the coast that leads into the city itself does make accessibility a whole lot easier for those who can travel by ship or boat. This is further emphasized by the local corporation that has resided within the nation, taking focus on market observation and supporting any business or shop that has joined forces with them with anything ranging from marketing support, shipment protection, and internal business cooperation for those that it is relevant for. Architecture Being built in a climate that isn’t so kind to structures and architectural designs, Ravenmire is a surprisingly well-kept coastal city with many beautiful structures made from various types of stones and timber to withstand the northern coast’s weather and teather. Most of the older buildings were established from imported stones from the founders’ homelands, while also utilizing Shadegrain to minimize the tear in the early stages of the nation. The city is often referred to as the heart and soul of the nation, flourishing in grand architecture and historical areas. Many of those historical sites are remnants of the historical evolution of Ravenmire, dating back to the founding ages of the nation. While such is the case, many pompous buildings have been established next to the historical sites, often creating a feeling of peacefulness and cleanliness. Said buildings are commonly designed as spacious houses, sometimes even manors, for the bigger, well-known, families and guilds of the city. Some pipes and gears can be found in portions of the city, acting as a reminder of the usage of alchemy within the city, especially of Animatii-alchemy, often interconnecting the buildings. Many of those pipes are known to transport warm water from building to building, heating the houses of many individuals. Many merchants use the harbor to trade their exotic wares, often interchanging it for new wares, which can only be found in Ravenmire and the northern regions, such as Shadegrain, Demonsteel, and more. Besides such the harbor is also known for its fish market, which has been one of the major food sources of the nation, besides some simple farms on the outskirts of the capital city. Politics The political system of Ravenmire is a rather strange one, the lands are ruled by one person. The whole city is governed by a council of three individuals, each of them specialists in their fields. As stated before, Ravenmire is mainly ruled by a Duchess with a council, each of them holding the title of Chancellor, Grand General, and Mayor. Besides such multiple nobles can be found in the Palace, often being involved in Court sessions and being ranked by their owned land and total power within the nation. Those with the ranks of ‘Lord’ or ‘Lady’ are seen as the most powerful nobles, being ranked just below the Council, and are often given rather complex tasks or even whole charters to control within the nation. ‘Marquis’ and ‘Marquess’ are next in line, often owning pieces of their land outside of the city walls. ‘Counts’ and ‘Countess’ are next in line, often owning a small district of some kind within the actual city. The last rank of nobility, known as ‘Barons’ or ‘Baronesses’, are often of lower nobility and own a mansion within the city. Those without any ranks within nobility are usually citizens, servants, or merchants, who reside within the city. Culture The city of Ravenmire was built in the pursuit of knowledge and safety. It is the foundation of the city-state and its culture as a whole. It is generally the focus of those inside the city to learn new skills, pursue higher education at all costs, and ensure their safety and health. Such has been the mindset that has been around since the councilors founded the city, and is continued to be upheld by the current council. Those seeking to learn flock from all across Aevos in pursuit of knowledge, and it is seen as prestigious to have studied within the city or under one of the councilors. While knowledge is coveted above all else in the nation, religion is side by side with knowledge. Religion is a big part of the nation, and the pressuring of others to follow outlined doctrines of religious states is encouraged. If one were to resist not following any religious acts, they do not have to but are heavily encouraged. Religion is often considered a public affair and thus could be seen being practiced within one's own house, in the church, and even on the very streets of the nation. Religious ceremonies are also replaced by stately events in a similar light. An example of this would be Marriages and Baptisms. The city focuses on the establishment and pursuit of knowledge, religion, and expansion especially that of Animatii-crafting and the research of new alchemical knowledge while upholding their prestigious and, most often, noble lifestyle. Fashion is often an important aspect of the city, displaying the ranks of those living within those lifestyles. The dresses and outfits of the city are clean and often well-made, including the finest silk and embroideries, while holding some highlights with metallic chains, stopwatches, and more. Festivals and events are often held inside and outside the city as well, often displaying said culture just as much. Magics Due to the circumstances of the Voidal Magics and the use of these magics, within the city of Ravenmire, there is to be absolutely no voidal magics to be used. If one is caught using any voidal magic, they will be asked to leave or forcibly taken out of the city depending on the situation and how cooperative the individual in question is. We understand the rulings of Voidal Magics by the High Pontiff, but we are taking the initiative in the use of these voidal magics and banning all voidal magics as a whole. We will adhere to the rest of the magic listing by the High Pontiff and cooperate well with any of their requests. The allowed magics to be used are: Housemagery, Bardmancy, Shindo-No-Hamon/Respvrinda, Sorvian Sculpting, and Archangel Michael’s Templars. The forbidden magics here are: Druid Magic, Shamanism, Paladinism, Azdrazi and Other Dragon Cultists, Necromancy, Infernal Sorcery, Mystics, Blood Magics, and All Voidal Magics. Conclusion We will adhere to all laws of Canon as well as maintain our laws within our city. If anything stated here goes against the laws of Canon, we will be willing to revise them and cooperate as best as we can. The Duchess of Ravenmire

REPORT: The Skanarri Encounters Issued in the year 198 S.A. Certified by the Government of Blackworth FOREWORD The following report is published to the Government of Blackworth and the Royal Crown of Ravenmire. Under the accounts of the previous month's attack, the report contains two reports, one from The Patrol of 1993, and The Seige that occurred in the Duchy of Blackworth. This report details the sequences of events, casualties, and resources within the two battles, and determines the threat of the enemy. It is without saying that the Native Northerner Clans of the Skanarri are not to be compared with other foreign entities, they possess similar capabilities as the raiders of Ailmere who are led by the entity known as the Harrower, and contain higher numbers than expected. The Crown must consider them a possible threat to the Sovereignty and peace of the Northern lands. The Patrol of Rhosmark, 1994 {First encounter} Written by Constantine L. Haverlock, Warrant of the Order of the Holy Goat We had heard reports of a camp of Skanarri north of the Margrave of Rhosmark, so I was tasked by my Lord-Father with scouting them out and if possible eliminating them. We then headed out with only a few good men on horseback because I knew the savages had little experience fighting cavalry. Leading the charge was myself and Squire-Warrant Lucien Martell. On the back of our individual horses were Warrant Jasper Clay and Levyman Ley-Ite Lustafaus respectively; both utilizing short bows. After a bit of travel, we saw the small camp containing only a few warriors at the time. We had the advantage of surprise, so I decided to take out the threat. We quickly charged and got a few lucky shots with our bows before the barbarians were able to form a primitive shield wall. I then commanded the men to go around the Skanarri and to keep up the barrage of arrows. We were able to eliminate a few more before they started to use their own axes as projectiles. An ax directly hit the horse I was on, and Jasper and I tumbled to the ground. I was barely able to get back onto my own feet before I saw them take a step forward towards us. Seeing their advance, I pulled out my emergency blasting potion as the other men kept them distracted, giving me the opportunity to throw my potion in the middle of the pact. Half of the Skanarri died in the glass shrapnel, which exposed to me the weaknesses of their armor. Their armor is often old and poorly maintained, thus leaving fatal gaps. After observing the destruction, I implored the remaining three warriors to put down their arms and surrender. For a moment it seemed the Skanarri were going to be unwilling to surrender until one spoke and told me a ritual among their people. If I were to challenge their chieftain to single combat and defeat him, the rest would put down their arms, so naturally I accepted the challenge. For a moment there was peace, until I saw a man come from the trees. He was as large as an Uruk, and in his hands was held a warhammer the size of a man. I will not tell you the words we said before the battle, but I will tell you this beast's name; “Tormun the Bonebreaker”. The battle only lasted a few moments after the introductions, I ran at him with my spear, only for him to grab my spear with his large hands. I then had to pull out my short sword and run behind Tormun, trying to stab at his back. I was only able to create a small wound on his back before he turned around. Swinging his warhammer at me as he does so, I was barely able to block it with my shield. But this gave me my opening to end the duel. I went to stab my sword up into Tormuns head as his armor did not protect his neck. The giant of the man quickly landed on his back and the rest of his warriors, then surrendering to me soon after. The Siege of Illation, 1994 {Second encounter} Written By Nicole A. Teufel, Levyman of the Order of the Holy Goat. The beginnings were a bit of a haze. The horns first blared near the western walls towards our gates. Upon its calming, the levy sprung to life and the chimes of the bells echoed across the city. All of us began to gear up and station ourselves along both sides of the western wall. It was not long before we saw the approaching horde. Rows of men walking unto our fields within the dense rain, holding weapons made from crude steel. It was then that I noticed no leadership was accounted for, Thus by such I took initiative until Warrant Constantine L. Haverlock and Dame Corinna Winburgh formerly Radenmarch came onto the scene. Command was then handed over per procedure. The plan was drafted; Initially, two teams were to be set in on both ends of the walls. Three selected individuals would man the cannons and attempt to shred the armies down for our infantry to smash through and force them to retreat or to simply slaughter them. However, the plan soon fell out of motion upon initiation of the battle. I was unsure what happened. Whether Emony Scath, Lucien Martell or Ley-ite Lusterfaus busted up the cannon, filled it with too much black powder or simply the cannon was too old, but it had erupted in an explosion. The entire plan that we had made was foiled, and it allowed the enemy to gain time to ram the gates in and proceed with their assault upon the city. Upon such, my accounts only come from the testament of others, however I was thrown into the moat, successfully fending off four of the invaders. A handful found themselves being dogpiled or dragged away to be captured. Dame Corinna Rademacher was one of these people who was grabbed and tied up, only to be dragged away before being rescued by Sir Gaspard Winburgh and a civilian auxiliary soldier sworn to House Rademacher by the name of Sir Hodrick. Others were in similar positions, as the Skanarri began to attempt to take more individuals but found themselves unsuccessful due to the efforts of the Blackworthian levymen. At the end of the siege, the levy was able to push the invading horde back. Many suffered injuries, and our only casualty was one Emony Scath, a Goblin levyman and local medic of Blackworth. Furthermore, one cannon was lost, and the western gate was temporarily damaged. Signed testaments by Nicole A. Teufel, Levyman of Blackworth Constantine Leopold Haverlock,, Warrant of the Order of the Holy Goat, Baron of Goldcross

The Treaty of Minas Aranath Issued the 13th of Snow’s Maiden, in the Year 1990 After a great host of Princes within the royal halls of House Arthalionath, moderated by her royal majesty the Tar and the Cardinals of the True Faith. Discussing the wrongdoings both worldly and spiritual of the accused party, the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun, they reached a conclusion for the reprimands and path of penance to be set upon the Apostolic Kingdom so that there might remain a peace amongst Men. This treaty shall take effect immediately, sworn over Holy Relics. ARTICLE I: Peace by Faith There shall be peace in Canondom with the Pontifex Maximus as regent over the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun until the age of adulthood of the young Godwin in six years. In this time, the Church shall hold authority to tutor the heir and to preside over the government of Aaun to ensure the redemption and penance in the aftermath of heinous crimes and corruption. This shall be sworn over Holy Relics at the Pontifex Maximus’ direction by both the Sovereign of Ravenmire, the Count of Blackvale, and the young King of Aaun. The peace shall be mandated by the church of the True Faith and assured by their protection for 10 years. If during the duration of this enforced peace, Aaun or Ravenmire engage in hostilities or violate the terms of the treaty, the aggressor may face a just war. They may not attack one other, except when compelled to honor a defensive alliance. Outside of defending allies, they are not allowed to take any offensive action against the other. If either state aggresses upon the other, the aggressor would forfeit all claims for protection from the Church. ARTICLE II: Territories The northwest most territory across the river shall be released to the wilderness to be pastures for Midland animals. The territory under the ruins of both Lemonhill and Stassion shall be granted to the Church to administer, a charter shall be drafted between the Church and Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun, which defines the purpose of the lands. ARTICLE III: Condemnation A stern condemnation with trials pending hereafter shall fall upon the Apostolic Kingdom, focusing on their conspiracies against the Church, against their neighbors, and within their Royal Family. The admitted fratricide of James Marcel Alstion by his royal brother Charles II and the conspiracy of former-Cardinal Jean against the Holy See are specifically condemned. The Brigade of Marna’s idolatrous ambitions are condemned, and a list of its members to be supplied to the Church for immediate trial. The High Councils to the Royal House Alstion are to be likewise put to investigation and trial for their cooperation. The Town of Enswerp and its royal masters are especially put to scrutiny in their role at the center of these conspiracies. These trials are to happen within the 10 years of mandated peace, and with their conclusion Ravenmire’s outstanding justifications for war are thereafter null and considered settled. The Church is the appointed judge over all such proceedings, with all Canonist Banners agreeing to honor its authority; should anyone subvert the trials, they shall invite retaliation at the direction of the Church. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this agreement as of the day and year first above written.

NO MORE WORDS A MISSIVE TO THE SOVEREIGN OF RAVENMIRE @moosehunter123 15th of Sun’s Smile, 1989 I write to you once again to address the brewing war in the east. We have urged you and your followers to show restraint in this affair as we have sought to administer the Lord’s justice. That justice has now been dispensed. King Charles II of Aaun has abdicated, and the Kingdom of Aaun now falls under the regency of the Vicar of God and the Holy See. You must now cease and desist from your plans to invade the Apostolic Kingdom, for to invade Aaun would be to challenge the dominion of the Mother Church over these lands. The leader of this realm, whom we recognize to be none other than the young King Godwin, is now but a child, one without his father’s sins. What honor is there in waging such a war, when the man and his wife whom you sought to dethrone have taken up the cloth and surrendered themselves unto the mercy of God? Stand down your armies, and the investigation into the attack on Tiberias van Aert and those responsible shall continue. Our commitment to justice is ironclad and we will seek to provide redress for any wrongdoings. However, in light of these recent developments, we will no longer tolerate the threat of invasion while the Vicar of God presides over the Kingdom of Aaun in holy regency. By proclamation of Deunoro I and his Curia, any and all Canonists that invade these lands while under the protection of the Holy Mother Church WILL face the wrath of the Lord. Let also those pagans who have similar machinations also know that Canondom will not stand for the infringement upon those lands under the protection of the Throne of St. Daniel. This is your final warning. Trust in Him, or challenge the will of the Lord at your own peril. There will be no more letters filled with words from the Holy See. Signed, RHOSYN CARDINAL ALBAROSA Archbishop of Albarosa, Cardinal-Chancellor of the Church of the Canon Acting Regent of the Canonist Church

ON WAR IN THE EAST A CALL FOR TEMPERANCE AND RESTRAINT 16th of Tobias’ Bounty, 1989 The Holy See has taken note of the recent missive from Ravenmire, which compels a decisive response from the Throne of St. Daniel regarding the matter of an imminent war between Canonists in the east. As His Holiness is presently incapacitated, that responsibility falls upon me in my capacity as Cardinal-Chancellor of the Church of the Canon. Let it first be made clear that the Church does not require the services of Ravenmire to “imprison” the King of Aaun. While the anger over the attack on your subjects is understood, we denounce any use of his impending trial as a cited purpose for your invasion. Allow temporal rivalries to be sorted by the temporal leaders and crimes of sin to be sorted by the Church, for the Lord’s justice is our own to administer in His name, and is to be wielded by none save by His authority. The Throne of St. Daniel continues to issue a steadfast call for peace between the peoples of Aaun and Ravenmire, and all other Canonists, until justice has had a chance to prevail. The great Canonist peace that we have strived to preserve should not be so easily discarded. The rapids of blood that stand to be shed must not be allowed to flow if we can prevent such from transpiring. To the sovereign of Ravenmire and to his followers, I would once again urge you as His Holiness has to hold your swords and allow the Auditor of the Tribunal to see the truth of all be unearthed and the Lord’s justice be done. Much of the world would have seen your people ended, but the great Caius I chose instead to extend the Lord’s mercy unto you and welcome them back into good standing within the Canonist fold. Surely you would not throw away that hard-fought peace that your people have enjoyed? I thus beseech your armies to await our judgment, lest your people and theirs be unnecessarily plunged into war. But fear not, for the Lord’s justice is blind and shall be delivered without bias by the Tribunal. As an arbiter of the affairs of men, a full investigation shall also be launched in parallel by the Church at the Pontiff’s own instructions into the attack upon Tiberias van Aert and the circumstances surrounding it. All of these findings shall be made known by the Auditor, in full, to the Canonist flock. We only ask that your men exercise temperance, that you await the recovery of His Holiness and for the Auditor to address these matters, and that you have faith in the good Cardinal Callahan to see the truth of all these things be brought into the light. The relief and justice to be earned from trusting these processes is a far greater and more wholesome reward than bloodshed in a Heartlands that has, only recently, just barely averted war.

The Falling of A Blue Salvia _____________________________________________ The 18th of the Amber Cold As the Blue Salvia Flower falls, a story would be shown as to Meira Kervallen-Elmwood's true colors. *A flashback through her life unfolds before her eyes from start to finish as if she would be no more.* Meira had a struggle for her life going on adventures, going places, seeing things, having fun, and doing some pranks as a child. Growing up in a happy family, she was shown her true, colors for the first time as a child. "I see pink! Pink is all I see mat'er! 'nd a little bit of blue too!" Her mother turns to her after performing some sort of a spell and asks "W'at do ye' see now?" Meira's mother questioned Meira. "I... I don't know w'at t'ese colors are." She'd reply to her mother. Her mother then pointed to each color and told her each color until it was time to go out and about, the spell went away and all she saw, was pink again. She went on with her life as she saw it in her normal state, but sadly never saw purple as a colorful color. She grew up in her life fighting for her home and friends. Friendship was the only thing that meant anything to her to those who knew her well. She had a bow custom-made to her. She bought it from the man not knowing who the individual was officially. And to this day always brought it, and never missed a single shot when wielding the bow as her main weapon. She was a proud archer, fighting for her pride, fighting for what she thought was right, fighting for what she believed in. She was the best among all those wielding a bow. However, things changed a lot when she followed her mother's dream. She took over Ravenmire, to follow her mother's belief and try to bring pride onto the lands to make things enjoyable. Always was happy, always working around, and was always busy but able to help those in need. She needed help choosing who to help her as her delegation. Though who better to go to than her friends, including the one who made her, her primary weapon. At that point, things kicked off fast and everything went to plan as she then ventured on making more and more friends. She made friends across the lands far and wide, though she was always able to make time shooting with her favorite bow. Before leaving for good, she was able to shoot her arrow once more at target ranges and moving animals. Though something, took her by surprise, causing her to fall limp in a pool of her very own red ichor that had poured out of her. Her amber-colored eyes shutting as she was passing knowing her time had come and now onto her new adventure. Now seeing her fellow fallen friends, as she entered into the land of the fallen, she would show each and every one of them a smile from ear to ear, as she had always shown to nearly everyone. The background being in her favorite color, cotton candy pink, with her blue outline popping out in the background. Down came what appeared to be a rain of blue Salvia flowers as she looked about. She heads further into the fallen pink lands, and turns around offering a gentle hand to the next person to join her, saying "Trust me, it will be okay!" in her cheery way with a smile to them... whoever it might be. Then continue forth to an edge and fall to be among the flowers of that she truly adored in life in all of their true colors. _____________________________________________ In Ravenmire, her will would be sent out to her family and friends by a raven as a symbol it is from Ravenmire. ((OOC: Only those who are pinged or named or a part of ther group/family is part of can read those sections of the will.))

This is just my goodbye from LoTC entirely. I'd like to thank everyone that I have roleplayed with and around and even those I have talked to only in ooc manners. I enjoyed the roleplays I have encountered, the ones on stream and off streams. Unfortunately, I realized I cannot stream LOTC very well, and streaming is what I wish to do. I will admit, I have gone through the good times and the hard times on this server, but with every beginning, is an end. To all those I have wronged, I am deeply sorry that I have wronged you in any way shape, or form. This is my goodbye from lotc, honor is honor and I wish this gets passed around, hold your honor above everything else, this is just a game to be fair. Who knows, maybe I will come back in the future to have fun, if I have lost all motivation in my future or something exciting is happening. I stress this part heavily though, do not be afraid to be perma-killed, sure you lose items you gained on the persona, but your persona's legacy still lives on to those you interacted with. Do not be the 15 thousand death warrior NL that never perma-kills, takes all the fun out of roleplay. We all want enjoyable roleplay, so make it more enjoyable, make it better than what it is right now. I believe that you all can do it. Speacial shoutout and respect to all you fellow military veterans, active duty, guard, and reservists (Yes Space Force and Coast Guard counts lol), y'all are the real ones, and glad to call you a brother, sister, and everything around. HUA - Heard, Understood, Acknowledged, and I hope every day you all come home safe and enjoy life as it is tough. With all that said, for the last time, peace out, stay safe, and have a great time on lotc!

This agreement covers trade, mutual defense, alongside a declaration of friendship. TRADE AGREEMENT The states of Vlachia and Ravenmire have agreed to open trade between their two states, each signatory agreeing to allocate room for one stall that shall be tax free.

This means that any diplomatic issues that may arise in which they are on the opposite ends of the table, they shall act in such a manner to ensure that the treaty is not endangered. MUTUAL DEFENSE The states of Vlachia and Ravenmire have agreed to a defensive alliance in which they shall come to defend each other in the event of an attack upon them, their subjects or their autonomy by a third party. Both through the means of armed conflict and diplomatically. Signed, Dorat Stanislaw Arpa
