Creating the Predator
Several players have expressed interest in learning more about what goes into the divine roles we play, particularly our thought processes and inspirations. Eventru already commented on his ideas in an earlier post, so I felt it was high time to discuss mine. I know I said before that I picked up Shikari because of…
Read MoreA Tale of a Vortex Valve
Late in Estar, strange keenings from a valve on the Plane of Vortex drew the attention of the Illuminati. To the disgust of Arian L’Aumes, who had recently traveled through the valve, it became apparent that the opening was sickened and afflicted by parasitic fleshlings. Rot and gangrene spread through the fleshy lips, turning from…
Read MoreThe Return of the Scarlet Goddess
As the beacon on Avechna’s Peak flared to life and the ground began to shake, the Even-Bladed sensed a Divine presence returning to the First World. However, as Terentia, the Sidereal Prince, and the Exalted took flight from the Resurgence of the Light, it became clear that the presence emerging above the Peak was no…
Read MoreQuestions on Community Building
I feel that one of the most challenging parts of being a patron god is trying to combat apathy and disinterest in your community. Once this feeling is present it becomes a systematic problem; everyone gets affected: people in positions, the layperson, the newbie, even the gods. I definitely feel at a loss when people…
Read MoreBitter Ice Plagues the Northern Mountains
With a crashing of frigid air in the Northern Mountains and an ominous swirling of flakes, the ice skulls which had recently plagued the Basin of Life returned, sending the cities and communes scrambling after. Greeted first by the warriors of Glomdoring, amidst them Talan Ysav’rai and Viynain Erid’in, the skulls were routed, the survivors…
Read MoreFamily/House System Updates!
Long desired, they are finally here! Most notably, the means of gaining honour have been increased drastically, as well as a new ‘House Orientation’ system has been implemented which has an affect on how much honour that is gained via certain actions. Harkening back to the days of the Holy Celestine Empire and the seven…
Read MoreDC MUD Meet
One of my favorite things to do with any community – whether they be MUD players, DnD groups, or a cappella singers – is to have meets. I love it when a community of people who may not get to see each other in real life very often meet for the first time and immediately…
Read MoreGreat Hunt Winners!

Read MoreOf Ice Skulls and Tattoos!
Not long after the accident in the Arthar’rt Observatory, the ice skulls were seen again, this time invading the Tosha Monastery. Response was quick from the inhabitants of the Basin who helped the Tosha monks repel the invasion, even as the ice skulls evolved into full fledged ice devils. Unfortunately, the attack was not without…
Read MoreAn Accident in the Arthar’rt Observatory
Starting with an ominous crash and the frustrated cries of Atrian Lerit’r, trouble was brewing at the Arthar’rt Observatory. The scientist had been frantically trying to assemble his teleportation device before his brother, Eduyik Lerit’r, and his brother’s wife, Metharme Lerit’r, came to visit him and see his work. Eduyik and his wife had taken…
Read MoreWe’re All Human
I know what you’re thinking—the divine? “All human”? Preposterous! After all, they do so much work for the game, how can they possibly have lives beyond it?! And we’re flattered, trust me, but it’s true: Not all of us are automatons devoting full capacity and resources to Lusternia (except maybe Eventru). Even Estarra likes to…
Read MoreSpoon!
Being a God and an Administrator is really, really cool, because it affords us some opportunities to add to the world of Lusternia and spruce it up with nice things (Which I love doing!). We do our very best to bring you all things that are interesting and engaging…and sometimes, in our haste, we might…
Read MoreDivine Paper Pushing
I suppose it’s about time I make my own blog post. I don’t want the one reference of me on here to be blatant lies and slander! In a later post I’ll likely talk about becoming a god and working with the lovely Glomdoring, but for my first post I thought I’d discuss the amazing,…
Read MoreLeaving behind the mortal shell…
For some of us, leaving behind that mortal life can be one of the most difficult choices we’ve ever had to make. There are the quasi-friends that we love to see when we log in each day. There’s the political turmoil that we’ve so embroiled ourselves in that we dare let our fingers off of…

Read MoreAn aging perspective
It’s a unique experience to play one of the most critically viewed divine in all of Lusternia. You either hate my character or love her. You may feel she is played by someone who is running on a temper tantrum, or some other aspect of mild mannered thought of explanation as to why she is…
Read MoreMaking Treebeard, I Mean Hoaracle
Hello, everyone! Rather than writing about my ephemeral days (which were filled with the same joys and trials that everyone has mentioned), I thought I would try to write something different! Seeing as Shikari’s latest post discussed him taking up an inactive god role, I will write about the other option an ephemeral has: creating…
Read MoreShikari Part 2: Becoming God
I said in my last post that the process of becoming an ephemeral is both easy and difficult. So is the life of an ephemeral. On one hand, you have a fairly good time. There are lots of eye-opening things you learn while up in the Upper Havens, like how to create mobiles and make…
Read MoreEileen Connlaodh, Queen of the Leprechauns
After months of hard drinking and deliberations, the leprechauns have once again chosen Eileen Connlaodh to be Queen of the Leprechauns! This decision was helped along by the players who themselves had to imbibe in drink in order to interact with the wee leprechaun folk. Eileen’s brothers, Seamus and Gilligan, have departed while the leprechauns…
Read MoreWyrden Blessing Brings New Life
During the month of Avechary, the members of Glomdoring Forest discovered a stranger in their forest: Amhika Rotwood, an elfen from beyond Glomdoring’s borders, had arrived seeking the truth about certain rumours. While she avoided explaining her reasons in great detail, she revealed that she wished to learn the secret from Rowena of childbirth through…
