Rumour Has It / Political wrangling across Dregar
« on: November 01, 2009, 08:31:48 pm »
The Sabre, recognised ruler of Liwich has come forward and made an amazing announcement that has been supported completely by the Regnant of Hurm, Saviar Morgensen and over the last few hours by all authorities across Liwich.

By order of The Sabre, Liwich has offered the criminal Gork a FULL pardon for all crimes and accusations made against him by lawful authorities across the world and free access to any and all places within Liwich itself.

The Sabre met briefly with ambassadors from Boyer, Sederra and Succession as well as with Rofireinite representatives in Liwich Castle. Rumour has it that the ambassadors were not happy when they left and in fact were extremely terse and unwilling to make any comments on what transpired within.

Following the Sabres announcement the ambassadors one by one declared that regardless of Liwich's offer to the criminal Gork who, if the Rofireinites are to believe, is dead anyway, their nations will still have in place a bounty and considerable restrictions in relation to the criminal. Each of the Ambassadors has cited the fact that Liwich has no authority to recant their own nations laws and charges.

In perhaps the most sensational news that has angered the Ambassadors further is that the Rofireinite representatives in Liwich have, with some reluctance, granted The Sabres request to drop all charges to date against the criminal Gork.

In the face of such a strange decision the ambassadors of Boyer, Succession and Sederra have angrily upheld their own countries laws and declared that should Gork, in the unlikely event, rise from his grave and be found within any of their borders he will be summarily executed without trial.

The Ambassador from Rael has refused to make any comment.

Many political observers feel that the increasing tension across Dreger in relation to the hunt for Gork was simply a precurser to an attempt to instill chaos and civil war across Dreger with the intention of providing Lord Rael an opportunity and reason to march his armies north to pacify his neighbours and instill his rule across all of Dreger. While this has no supporting evidence to date there are some whispering in corners that this is perhaps the true nature of what had been occuring. How the criminal Gork was involved remains a mystery but it certainly seems that he has the full support of Liwich at least.

Rumour Has It / Southern Mistone stunned by attack.
« on: October 13, 2009, 08:37:16 am »
Reports are flooding across Mistone rapidly as just as the Bi-Annual Brenuth Mercantile traders market day was beginning an army of giants arrived and beseiged the city. With traders and merchants from across Mistone in the city at the time the populace was stunned by the suddeness and deliberateness of the attack.

Rumours indicate that there seemed to be a number of huge dark skinned giants leading the regular giants in the seige.

The Cor'ys Advisory body issued a statement this morning indicating that it was their efforts that pulled together adventurers and heroes from within Fort Vehl to parlay with the giants after a great fiery elemental appeared in the centre of the town and left a burning scroll behind.

It appears the heroes must have parlayed well for the giants mysteriously left after beseiging but not attacking the city for a week and a half.

Some reports indicate that this event was linked to the locating and slaying of a supposed group of Green Dragon Cultists who, if you believe the rumours, are said to be moving about Mistone.

Rumour Has It / Border wars?
« on: October 10, 2009, 07:37:53 pm »
Political wraggling has seen two age old enemies at it again. Units serving Liwich on the northern border have had a brief skirmish with Boyer kingdom scout units.

The incident was sparked over recent tension regarding Liwich's decision to close their northern border at Boyer's request to send military units to Succession to aid in the hunt for the criminal Gork.

Boyer claims that the criminal might have been responsible for the death of an eminant family in Bitterridge and the kidnapping of a young girl. Liwich claims that the supposed criminal Gork saved a number of their citizens from a mad mage in the city of Hurm and will not allow them to cross their territory.

The controversy has inflamed tensions and puts Liwich in a difficult position with its neighbours; Boyer, Sederra and Succession, who are all at present working together in the apprehension of the notorious criminal who, despite their best efforts, still remains at large somewhere in Dreger.

Rumour Has It / Bandits smashed near the River of Darkness
« on: August 10, 2009, 03:29:46 am »
*Word has spread about an encounter between the infamous Black Knife bandit group and Succession Army units of the Countess's Fifth Elite Boulder Unit. The Countess's Units had been dispatched into the hills around the river of darkness and north of the Lake of Sorrows to investigate reports that the criminal Gork had been seen in the area.

The Army units located and engaged the remnants of the Black KNives, an infamous unit of bandits run by Grundorf who have terrorised the area for a score of years.

Initial investigations reveal that Grundorf had dealings with Gork before Gork, in a viscious and brutal act of revenge eliminated every one of Grundorfs men except a scout party which was returning to the burnt out campsite when the Countess's men fell apon them.

A thorough search has turned up no traces of the escaped criminal Gork.

The Count and Countess have now issued a writ for Gork arrest and sent patrols west along the main roads near where Gork was supposedly located.*

Rumour Has It / Children's delight in Vehl
« on: June 18, 2009, 03:54:46 am »
*The streets of Fort Vehl today could be likened to a carnival, with every child a winner.

Children of all shapes and sizes, all backgrounds and all races were treated to a yummy bag of licorice provided free of charge by the Vault Banking Institution. The bank's principal, Arkolio Salvorre, present throughout was happy to be quoted, exclaiming with a broad smile,

"I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Give them all the licorice they can fit inside."*

Leringard Arms Inn and Tavern / World Wide Shockwave!!!

Tunar, Mai 10, 1450

As light creeps above the horizon over the northern hemisphere there begins a trembling deep within the core of Layonara. The reverberation begins as a dull and distant roar which gradually builds into a crescendo of sound that causes all the creatures from near and far to set up a raucous clamour as if in sympathy of the groaning of the earths core. As the ripple of divine power emanates from the depth of Layonara's being the sense of the all pervading denseness of gravity warps your senses and creates a sense of nausea coupled with a wave of disorientation. All around you no matter your location around the globe, the ground trembles, sound reverberates and every living thing vibrates to the core of its being. Slowly, mile by mile, hour by hour the effects travel until the entire being of Layonara has experienced the tremulous sensation.

Then, all is silent once more. The creatures of Layonara continue to call out in startled reverie for some time but those that can sense the earth, that are in tune with nature and manipulate the weaves of Al'Noth that permeate Layonara know that the earth itself is tainted no more, that its life's blood has been returned in a divine event witnessed by all alive across the surface of the world and below.

Words of praise are spoken by the lips of many as well as these two spoken in great reverence; Waazk'ah Lak'han, which means, in the ancient Dwarven tongue, Father Mithril, a name given to the one who restored it to the world and defeated the Balamti threat; Fenrir Thornaxe.

Rumour Has It / Unease in Port Hempstead & Fort Vehl
« on: April 29, 2009, 03:52:52 am »
Local citizens of both Fort Vehl and Port Hempstead have become unnerved by the sudden increase in heavily protected caravans of goods arriving from several places on Alindor, Dreger and from across Mistone. Each new arrival seems to contain the heraldry of some other group or nation, Ulgrid dwarves, Bloody gate dwarves, Kartherian mercantile groups, Raven Trade Guild and other large guilds, Trelania and even the city of Lyn high in the Hammerbound Peaks.

Not only that but heavily armoured groups of dwarves and human counterparts in service to Dorand have moved in to oversee the coordination of the arrivals.

In perhaps the most amazing revelation to date is the arrival outside Fort Vehl in the early hours of the morning not long ago where a combined host of dwarves bearing Ulgrid Livery set up camp alongside several giants obviously in service to Grannoch.

Messengers back and forth from Fort Vehl have been told that its in response the the growing unsettlement of the earth but nothing more than that.

Several well known individuals in the world have been spotted regularly between the cities including the famous dwarven craftsman Fenrir Thornaxe who it seems many of the dwarven nations, churches and other institutions dealing with the earth have nominated as their unanimous representative in dealing with the matter. A rare position indeed.

If the growing unease in the markets and seemingly the earth as well is any indication he has his work cut out for him.

I like the title of my scratchings! Sort of tells one a bit about me doesnt it. I'm a bit too carefree and fun loving for some but thats the way nature intended for me to be.

I only decided to write down some things while sitting under this lovely tree because I realised soemthing about myself the other day. I was told of some bears trapped in the haven mines by some no good miners and got some people together to go down and help them. I didnt know that some of them had other ideas until we got down there and found the bears captured by the gnolls. Me and Keppli worked out a plan to get them out and then this hulking barbarian pie eater said he wanted to kill them for the skins so he could sell them!

Keppli and I were horrified, he was so big and he had a big sword and I nearly wet my pants when he pointed it in my direction and threatened to deal with me before the bears! Luckily keppli was there to back me up. But also deep inside I just felt that I had to protect these bears...Maybe it was Katia giving me strength but from somwhere I got the confidence to stand up to the bully.

While he continued to make threats I managed to convince the others to let Keppli and I get the bears to safety. I felt such a surge of relief when it was all done. But I will have to keep an eye out for that horrible Pie Meister!

General Discussion / General Note to the Populace
« on: April 11, 2009, 04:10:26 am »
Hey everyone,

I am posting this here as currently I am running Fenrir's WLQD. This particular one is currently having a significant effect on things in the world and I am posting this to ask you to participate in bringing the full sense of whats happening to life.

I often find that with WLQD's they feel like they are taking place almost in another Layonara to the one everyone else plays in from day to day. This come about because normally it is a select group who deal with the WLQD issues at the times they can get together and thus it does not affect everyone else on the server in their day to day activities. So the general populace goes about doing what they do every day they play on Layonara with more than likely a very minor interest in whats happening out there because they are not a part of it.

In reality this is not the case, and I want to ask you, the typical Layonara players to help me build the atmosphere for those working towards Fenrirs WLQD.

How can you help I hear you ask?

First of all you need to be aware of what currently might be affecting your characters so you can include it in your everyday RP or interactions, so lets start there.

1/ Mithril and titanium have always been hard to obtain, now in the market places both metals have begun to dry up, prices are sky rocketing in mithril (please reflect this in prices etc)

2/ Priests of Beryl, Dorand, Grannoch, Sulterio and Grand all are sensing something wrong with the element of Earth in the world. Spells that rely on earth as a component of base source of power are weaker than normal, stoneskin for example wont last as long, earth elementals weaken and die very quickly etc (All can be Rp'ed)

3/ Giants in the Ulgrids have been hardly seen at all, there have been no attacks between the dwarves of the Ulgrids and the giants there for the past two months.

4/ Market places around the world are getting the jitters as mithril deposits used as securities for banks, mercantile guilds and even nations are disappearing.

5/ There is a general unease amongst druidic circles regarding notification they have received from certain faiths regarding the weakening of Earth, particularly within Layonara itself.

6/ Spellguard are now even investigation what they percieve as a serious threat against Layonara itself based within the field of earthen magics. (Rp for members of the faith)

7/ Tremours have been felt in various places across the world and people are beginning to say these are linked to the missing mithril.

If you know this...then you can employ it in your RP and thus help with the immersion of the WLQD for the people directly involved, the general community (whose world is being affected), and really help bring alive whats happening, for everyone.

Thank you.

Rumour Has It / Illness strikes the Queen of Trelania
« on: February 14, 2009, 03:21:11 am »
Authorities are shocked at a sudden illness that has struck the Queen of Trelania.

Rumours suggest the Queen had finished a visit to the Royal Art Museum in Blackford and was transfixed by a life size portrait of a young family outside a hamlet near Blackford Castle. The painting was one from circa 1200's and was painted by the famous Ilsaran artist Letifrian Andorelistrian.

The Queen collapsed before the painting and had to be rushed to the Castle Temple.

The latest word is that the Queen has awoken and has been moved to the royal apartments where she is being cared for.

Rumour Has It / The War in Belinara comes closer!
« on: October 18, 2008, 07:07:58 pm »
As Sasha moves around she spreads the word as best she can.

I have just returned once again from Belinara and know this! You may think you are safe! You may think here that a war half a world away can never come to you...but know this.

Westgate has fallen! Kuhl is all but in the hands of the enemy. Now it appears Nesar is capitulating to the Dragon Stealers giving them control over almost the entire northern half of Belinara.

Still no interest? Well let me tell you this little fact! The Dragon Stealers have spies moving through Arnax, this is how it began in Kuhl, and even worse.....Nesar have agreed to supply the Dragon Stealers with FLEETS! Not a few ships! FLEETS! Now I see some of you understand the import of that fact! With fleets suddenly Mistone is not so safe! Belinara is just an ocean away! Soon you may have Drachs, Dragons and Dragon Stealers running around in your own front yard! Then what will you do!

Queen Alise, General Telos and Lord Alexander are gathering together supplies and equipment and soldiers in their mission to gather an army in Hilm to drive out the Dragon Stealers for good!

Others like myself seek ways to bring down the Dragon Stealers and prevent them gaining any further advantages. Fleets are a priority, if you want to help, help us devise a way to destroy the fleets of the Nesar before they fall into the hands of the Dragon Stealers!

Trade and Market Hall / I Challenge YOU!
« on: September 22, 2008, 06:50:30 am »
*A tall blonde haired woman, muscular and athletic, dressed in heavy plate and bearing a large bladed sword on her hip stands atop a stall in the Trade square crying out over the crowds around her to gather attention. Once a sizable crowd has stopped or gathered to see what it is she has to say she begins in a loud voice used to shouting at people on the battlefield.*

Some of you may know me, many others may not. I am Sasha Tomyris, formally from a village outside Fort vehl. By now I imagine that most of you, unless you have been hiding under a rock these last few days will know of the war in Kuhl in Belinara. Well, Now Westgate has fallen, the Queen has been driven from her country and people die every day as dragons fly over the land and darken the skies with the places they burn and destroy.

Some of you may think this is far from here, that it will never affect you but you only have to remember the Dragon attacks on Leringard and Mariners Hold to know it is never to far for a Dragon!

I come to you now, I call upon those of you who cannot or are unable to carry a sword into battle, who cannot stand on the front line with me, to help like people just like you did in the Bloodstone Wars. People like you stood up and were counted, you did what you could when you could.  I tell you now these people need your help. We need your help!

Kuhl needs to be saved...and in so doing we can drive these Dragon cults back to where they came from and put an end to the Dragon threats they use against us.

I personally have donated 400,000 true to this cause to start the ball rolling. Sala Stonehill pledged 50,000 true...how much will you donate? What will you donate?

I Challenge you!

// If you are willing, particularly the guilds!, please list here what you are willing or able to donate and then hand the stuff over to a GM to dispose of on behalf of Kuhl please.

General Discussion / Where have all the good ones gone?
« on: May 02, 2007, 02:36:41 am »
Does anyone wonder these days as they go on their merry journeys across the servers where the good ones have gone?

There are a few it seems, a few bright lights in the gathering darkness but they seem to be fewer and farther between.

What am I talking about? Good characters of course. Is the introduction of evil merely a passing fad and once people get over the fact that its hard to RP and play evil characters effectively they will come back to good ones? WHo knows at this stage.

From a GM's perspective I have noted that the changing nature of the alignment base of characters is certainly having an impact in quests.

'You must gather a ransom to rescue this child if you want to see them alive'
"who cares, how much is it worth to her family?" is more and more commonly the responses one gets.

So this is my lament, I am guilty myself of testing the waters of the 'dark' side but I am one who will never truly be beguiled by its evil taint.

While there can be heroes of light and heroes of dark consider this. Who will be remembered by the people? Those heroes of light of course!

So to the people out there who still persevere as bright lights under the ever increasingly dark skies over layonara I salute you and am with you. (even if I dabble a little bit in the dark side heh)
