  1. Sparrhawk at the moment is unable to fulfill the duties of a Half Moon Captain due to his obligations in real life. He is welcome to the position, always, and if he is brought into question, he can still be considered the Eclipse's Half Moon Captain...

    But we are looking for a captain to take on his duties and aid our Knights. The leaders of the Eclipse are doing what we are able to regarding the duties of our sleeping captain.

  2. The artist is certainly not BlackThorn. His style of artwork is quite different from this one. The best way to identify BlackThorn's artwork is if you look for rough, small details throughout the art. He tends to draw mostly fantasy styled works. Very rarely have I seen him produce anything like this art.

  3. It was a good battle, but I admit that I've neglected training for too long due to courtesy reasons, and due to my being MP6. That will have to change.

    Elthen, I lost the battle anyway - nothing to get too upset about. It's only a competition. Though I do admit that it should have been stated in the rules or something that you have to be in an alliance, or... perhaps there should have been a banned entry for me so Eon could continue to participate.

    Thank you Burns for making it a fair competition for me, next time, if I notice that there is an mp6 - mp5 issue, I will likely drop out to avoid any problems for the competition you might be holding.

    I was quite sad that Eon was not able to participate.

  4. Right, so.. the lake turned out to be a bit of a downer. I will advise anyone who goes to any of the lakes in the upper portion of Texas during this time, that there are severe outbreaks of blue-green algae and that the symptoms, rashes, and what not IS real. A friend who came with us had to leave early due to being sick from this stuff.

    The Marinas will not tell you this until the day of your leaving for the cabin, so the warning is likely to be late...intentionally I feel. Their biggest money-making weekend was blown, so of course.

    Right-then. It wasn't all terrible, just being away from the city was an enjoyable experience. Go for the cabins, not for the lake if you're headed there.

  5. I wish I could rough it for real. I haven't done that since I was 11 and camping at the gulf. Ah well, camping has a different meaning now I guess. To me it means you buy a cucumber, carrots, granola, and a ton of meat to cook over an open flame.. and you set up a big tent right on the ground, or sleep under the stars. It's really nice when you do it that way actually. :)

  6. I was originally not going to do this, but since Amoran has a few in-game responsibilities such as taking care of adepts and worshipers..

    I will be heading up to Lake Texoma this weekend to go camping. Fancy camping, that is, because the marinas there seem not to know what 'roughing it' is.

    Anyway, to my adepts: I will be taking my laptop with me, but I not be able to get online very much as the area we are camping in does not include internet, however there is an internet cafe near by so I will try to check messages and such when I am able.

    To the Eclipse: I will be leaving Amoran's position of Sybil with Phantom Orchid and the remaining priesthood while I'm gone.

    To fellow LHO: I will resume working toward becoming LHO when I return.

  7. It is well understood that this sort of behavior is against the rules, but I disagree with Dst's method of finding such behavior. The community of MD does not need a watch dog to harass them into behaving.

    Most of us are adults between 18 and older. I'm sure we know how to behave like adults.

    I have said this once and I will say it again: Use a strict method to punishing players for breaking rules. Be reasonable about it. Do not create a war path.

    Haven't we seen too many war paths in the game already? Is there seriously a need for more useless arguments? No, there is absolutely not.

    Give people room to correct their mistakes rather than attacking them for it, and absolutely never go after people and purposefully seek mistakes simply because you do not like them. That is pure abuse of any position said person might hold.


    In regards to spells and rules:
    I do not think the log spell was ever intended to be used as a way to punish people you dislike for whatever reason you might find at the time. To my knowledge, it's to be used for record keeping.

    Perhaps it should be made clear that there is a list of rules at the top of the page called 'restrictions'. To those who have not read them, please do to avoid this sort of thing from happening again.

  8. Whether or not something is ancient lore shouldn't steer away from people using it in creative ways. Granted, it may not be accurate, but as long as participants in quests and the like know that it isn't accurate in accordance to MD's setting and story, then to me it should be fine. Some people may have liked Adi's stories enough to mention them in quests or stories of their own.

  9. The Eclipse is currently recruiting Knights, Priests, or Priestesses. If you have an interest in the Children of the Eclipse, reply to this thread and I will PM you instructions in game or in the forum regarding recruitment.

    To join the Eclipse, we wish our to-be members to be knowledgeable in the alliance structure. Please read this topic:
    [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/6619-children-of-the-eclipse-information-update/"][u]Children of the Eclipse Information Thread[/u][/url]

    -Priestess
    -Priest
    -Knight of the Half Moon
    -Knight of the Full Moon

    If you have any questions regarding recruitment, Amoran K Kol and Tarquinus will be stationed at either the Hidden Exit, Maple Road, Ravenhold, or The Marble Dale Park.

    Please note that the Eclipse does not exclusively accept fighters as knights. We also accept people who are willing to learn about battle, who wish to become knights for that reason.

    -Amoran Kalamanira Kol,
    Sybil of the Eclipse.

  11. The concept of the ritual my character performed is a grounding ritual that you perform in meditation with a tree, or a plant.

    [url="http://www.meditationescape.com/grounding-meditation.html"]Scroll down to 'Sample Grounding Meditation'[/url]

    Explaination:
    You approach a tree if you feel that the tree accepts you coming into it's space, and kneel. You place your palms against the tree's trunk and tell it a story (whether it be something about your life, or something that has happened recently that has caused an emotional distress in you, just tell it a story.) - all the while feeling the tree's solidness against your hands. Try to feel in tune with the earthly energy of the tree [or plant] you are telling the story to, and when you open your eyes, if you feel refreshed and clear-minded.. you have done the meditation correctly.

    This kind of ritual is something that my character regularly performs at the Oak Fort, and the rituals have been recorded on her personal journal. [The link to her journal is in her 'About me' papers.]

    Roleplayed at the Oak Fort, Amoran performed the same meditation style ritual to calm herself in a time of crisis. Other alliance members were welcome to join her but no one showed up, except Marvolo.

    Recorded ritual:

    [color="#4169E1"][i]: Amoran K Kol crosses the bridge, her feet thumping softly against the weathered wood.
    : Amoran K Kol moves into the anchored roots of the Oak Fort, kneeling before the tree's great trunk.
    : Amoran K Kol rests her palms against the Fort's rough bark, closing her eyes, letting herself feel the solidness of the great tree towering before her.[/i][/color]
    Amoran K Kol: [color="#4169E1"][i]*speaks with a soft tone..*[/i][/color] May I tell you a story, great oak?
    [color="#4169E1"][i]: Amoran K Kol remains quiet for a moment, listening to the wind.
    : Marvolo goets to sit next to the lake, watching Amoran as she performs her ritual
    : Amoran K Kol lowers her head, resting her forehead against the Fort's trunk.[/i][/color]
    Amoran K Kol: The air is stale in this land... the smell of blood drifts in the air.
    Amoran K Kol: It is heavy..
    Amoran K Kol: Metallic.
    Amoran K Kol: It holds a taste of iron..
    Amoran K Kol: Our sybil sleeps.. and the moon hides her face to us.
    Amoran K Kol: The sun burns us, warms our skin.. and we move beneath it in ignorance, like nothing is wrong.
    Amoran K Kol: The kings of the land are dead.. and the crime feels...heavy. Sudden. It has not caught us completely.
    Amoran K Kol: I worry.. that through these trying times, that I will drift in the winds that carry the smell of our king's demise.
    Amoran K Kol: I seek an anchor.
    Amoran K Kol: I seek roots that are buried deep within this land.
    Amoran K Kol: Hold me to the soil, my Fort..
    Amoran K Kol: Life, for you. Water, for you..
    [color="#FF8C00"][b]: [Spell] Days beneath a shaded willow, under a shadow clad sky, time moves in circles.[/b][/color]
    [color="#4169E1"][i]: Amoran K Kol Shudders as clouds gather overhead, her pale skin lighting with a soft white glow.
    : Amoran K Kol opens her eyes and raises her features to the Fort's canopy as rain dances across her face.
    : Amoran K Kol 's lips curl into a content smile that touches her eyes.[/i][/color]
    Amoran K Kol: So few wished to join me in this grounding, but thank you.. my Fort.
    [color="#FF8C00"][b]: [Spell] Earthen Binding - Amoran K Kol[/b][/color]
    Marvolo: Amounts do not matter, rain does.
