Did you declare me by any chance? Originally, I was trying to find something in Glom but when you came in, I didn't see you on PK DECLARATIONS, so I thought I might as well fight.

Subj: Most Honourable House


The Great House of Talnara has risen to become the most honourable family in
Lusternia, supplanting the Great House of d'Murani! Its power, wealth, and
influence are unmatched in the Basin of Life.

I quoted that. And the cookie.

Maylea some more.

No, I... actually just read up on what that means. Hehe.

Ebonguard again, Xthel is doing great.

Wish I was doing great...

You are, I just had a sweet moment.

Wildarrane for hunting!

Previously, according to my testing, the time spent refraining a song was still just a bit more time used than the extra damage and (in spring) health regen was worth, so keeping a song up while hunting alone was a very small net slowdown in essence per hour, at least the way I hunt. When songs started lasting longer, it got to be a break-even proposition. But now, songs are actually worth using while hunting, even alone -- like I thought they were always supposed to be. Woot!

It also means I finally have reason to have what I always though we were intended to have -- different songs for hunting and fighting. Which is a pain but even so I like it. Switching songs is tedious and time-consuming, but it still feels right.

Just realizing how OP begging in Tosha is, and the massive exp it gives at low levels.

8.2.4.4 THE HARBINGERS OF THE WYRD


Undersecretaries: Lyrinae, Moselle, Amarysse, Camerick, and
Arel

Now we just need enough novices to warrant having five of us as Undersecretaries, and we're golden!

Ragniliff is coming back. <3

Lisaera coming back, and speaking with Eamon.

I'm up in the Arctic circle and the sun's been up for days now, making sleeping difficult at best. This just made my night!

Getting my ass beaten red. Just what I needed.

Battling for domoths! First time anyone invited me (not surprising, as I don't get to be around at the prime times). Died once because of massive spam and system lag, went back again and disabled ATCP (evil, apparently), having much more success the second time around.

A special rave goes to Karnagan for being kind to my eagle.
(However, I don't know how to get him back from Frosticia now without all the rigmarole of flying out there with someone's aethership.)

Was my first time doing it too, didn't do too well but could consider it a rave as for giving me the knowledge that I definitely need more group combat experience. So hard to keep track of everything @_@.

Maybe I could also make it a rave for lasting so long with Talkan trying to kill me, when I had no defenses up at all due to having just died. Though to be fair I did keep running. (Course as I just said, no defenses up so I knew I couldn't likely win.)

He even inquisitioned me, which I find amusing, cause isn't one of the biggest purposes of that to get rid of their defenses? Hehe, though I could be wrong on that one. Might be interesting to try and fight him sometime when I'm prepared and not rather confused thanks to all the stuff going on around me.

These shoes.

They fit... perfectly!

New Vira, for striking just the right balance between cool professionalism, honoring Xin's past service, and that faint aura of malice that hangs around Viravain like perfume. I'm really excited about how she's playing Vira these days - what I've seen of it, anyway.

Nadjia for taking on a very difficult role.

Vira's Order for the incredible patience and support you've shown Xin (and my efforts as his player) over the past RL months. Way more patience and support than I've deserved, most of the time.
