"A billion stars, and by billion, I mean burnt out stars. I AM THE NIGHT!" - Celina

"It's a wonderful adventure describing my perfection" - Celina
"You'll love me in this, I do!" - Celina
The apple is cold, crisp, and sour as the juices fill your mouth. As you consume the fruit, you glimpse, for a moment, a massive, shadowy figure, Her snow-white hair framing a perfect, icy-eyed visage. Beneath you, a vast, perfect web of silken strands lies - and, for a moment, you realize that you too are part of it, weaver and strand both - and home.
Magnagoran 'racism' is intense but it is not without cause.
Our gods were betrayed and we don't play well with the races that came out of their betrayers. So it's not like boo-hoo we don't like merians. It's like the fact that merians exist is an affront to our pantheon and everything we stand for.
So yes, people will lose their shit if you show up being one of those races.
Actually...wow...that's the first time someone explained it to me in a way that didn't sound like 'Fain threw a hissy fit.'
Why don't people tell me stuff like this in-game?
Well, they were going to, but then Fain threw a hissy fit.....
Hmph. I didn't want to sit on that smelly throne after Serenwilde had touched it anyway.
"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."

So....you've read it?
I mean my ACTUAL books. Those rare occasions where I defy the odds and form coherent sentences. I am quoted on Fain's monument in Magnagora, damn it. I AM LIKE INSIGHTFUL AND SHIT
Apparently being approved by THREE, yes THREE different warlords means nothing and Silvanus raised me out of pure favouritism. I've waited a RL year to finally see this day come about. I've had full council support, from a variety of councils as positions changed hands. Patiently patiently I waited. I've done a whole lot of painful demigod claims on domoths in the mean time (yet apparently I somehow can't take domoths without Silvanus securing them for me, just because one time he did the first stage to make it faster then we passed it over), I turn up to every defense, every domoth, every revolt, flare, wildnodes...not to mention all the work I do in other areas, like managing a guild and an order and two ministries.
And ONE loud-mouthed ignorant jerk comes around and declares how unfair and corrupt this raising is. How we should instantly overthrow Silvanus. In the middle of a bloodfaire he organised.
I know this isn't supposed to be a place for ranting, but man...yes this is a game and roleplay and conflict are great. But I wish sometimes people would stop and think before they begin crusades. Calling my years of work and dedication to Magnagora nothing, and my only value coming from who I am married to and his favouritism is rude, insulting and belittling.
I EARNED THIS.
Now return to your regularly scheduled postings, I'm going to enjoy the rest of the bloodfaire.
@Lavinya hmm... I may have to rethink my characters sudden dislike of everything Magnagoran. May have jumped to conclusions about the citizens based on one experience with an idiopt who jumps to conclusions and insults before learning of someone. Same person then tried to call me rude for eavesdropping.. if you whisper it in a room I am in and I hear it that is not eavesdropping. I suspect we may have issues with hte same individual but not 100% sure.

Congratulations to you, so much. You've worked long and hard in this game. I'm very proud of you, even if you are an acquaintance of mine!
Her storm-coloured eyes a muted blue, Lisaera, the Silver Goddess says, "Only sorrow can come from a rotting thought, My child, just like roots that have been drowned. You are a paragon of the wisdom I would see spread throughout the Serenwilde, but even the strongest minds must find release." - A shimmering liquid appears in your inventory smelling sweetly of something carbonated. It vanishes in a puff of silver smoke seconds later. - I write things

I'm suddenly seized with an urge to either roll a Caco or move Shaddus, and write a song that goes "I'm just gonna hate hate hate hate hate. HATE 'EM ALL! HATE 'EM ALL!"

I see absolutely nothing wrong with nepotism. It's the entire Nightshade domination strategy.

I'm so sorry for what's going to happen, @Lavinya, please don't kill me.
You bring the killing note of your song to a screaming conclusion. Harmoniously screeching with each rusty turn, the spinning spiked iron bands close around Tremula, who screams as she is chopped into a bloody puree. You have slain Tremula. Having been too much for the mortal threads of Tremula, she screams in agony as flames engulf her body and burn it to a crisp. The voice of Avechna whispers in your mind a warning about initiating combat with Tremula.
