[News] The Forest Strikes Back!

July 25, 2013 By: Faeryl Category: Atlantic News

Sunday evening, the Vesper Mint was a scene of chaos as the city was invaded by angered woodland fae. The chaos began with a courtyard caller shouting a sales pitch about a machine called the Biggering Chopper. “A Wonder of Modern Mechanical Engineering! The Biggering Chopper will rid you of all your nature woes! No job is too big!”

Before long, creatures of the surrounding forests appeared, and enraged, began attacking the curious crowd that had gathered around the caller. The situation worsened when the creatures were joined by the woodland fae, and in the confusion, the city guards began attacking those who were merely attempting to defend themselves from a seemingly unprovoked attack.

As the commotion was finally dying down, another creature appeared, though this one, called Borax the Treebeard, seemed more interested in speaking with us rather than attacking. “I regret these actions, however maybe now I have your attention?”

Borax told us that we had done a great harm to the forest and the creatures that he cares for. He told us that he had pleaded with the machine to stop, but that it did not listen, and hoped that after that attack, that we would. He claimed that this machine had killed hundreds of trees, and that he could not allow us to harm the forest in such a way. He pleaded with us to put a stop to the destruction. “Do it for the trees!”

Though Borax wasn’t sure where this machine was, he made it clear that if we did not destroy it, he would return again with an even greater threat. With that, the creature Borax left us to our task.

The Biggering Chopper was soon found in a clearing between Britain and the moongate. It’s creator, one Aleksandre Biggering, was also present. Upon seeing such a large crowd of potential customers, Aleksandre immediately began shouting his sales pitch, claiming that our chopping days were over and for the low price of 900,000,000gold, one could rent his machine. He claimed that given a fortnight, he could clear Yew of trees, and clear enough land for everyone to build their own castle.

Though there was some protest, Aleksandre responded to it by announcing that trees were the enemy, that he only listened to paying customers, and then proceeded to ask if we wished to see the Chopper in action. “Back, up! Give it some space!” After a quietly mumbled warning about fair warning and a release of liability, Aleksandre approached his machine, pushed a button, and ran as the Chopper hummed and buzzed for a moment, and then without warning, began to attack the crowd.

Throughout the entire battle with the Chopper, Aleksandre kept trying to convince us how wonderful his creation was, and how it was completely worth the outrageous price he asked to rent. It wasn’t until the Chopper was finally destroyed that Aleksandre Biggering seemed to realize he was in trouble. “Looks like I need to go. Before the governor comes.”

With the Biggering Chopper destroyed, the forest is safe once again. Each individual tree that helps to make up the forests of Britannia are more important than some may realize. Not only to the creatures that inhabit them, but also to our own prosperity and wellbeing. Please take from nature only what is needed, for taking in excess will inevitably do more harm than good.

[News] Protecting the Hunted

July 24, 2013 By: Faeryl Category: Atlantic News

Last Thursday night, the Knights of the Crux Ansata met with their commander, Lady Danica Amandine, in the courtyard of King Blackthorn’s castle. Lady Amandine had decided that it was about time we checked on Sheon, the young dragon who currently resides in a cave west of Covetous.

Upon our arrival at the small cave, we were greeted by the happy chirping of the infantile dragon, who was clearly glad to have so many friends visit. Unfortunately, the mood took a turn when the Direbear Reib Adre, made an appearance. He wished to take Sheon into the forest to keep him safe him, claiming that the young dragon was being hunted, and wasn’t safe in his cave, even with the Knights there to protect him. He believed that some among our number could not be trusted.

Having refused Reib’s offer, insisting that we could protect Sheon ourselves, he said that he would not force us to hand over Sheon, and would return to the forest. But before he left, he warned us that a group calling themselves the Knights of the Scale, were on their way. A small army marching with the intention of slaying Sheon.

Shortly after Reib’s departure, the Scale Captain Tristan arrived. The man claimed that Sheon was a danger, and must be destroyed as soon as possible. Ignoring our protests and commands to stand down, he began to attack the leather bedding that Sheon had taken cover under, stabbing it repeatedly with his blade in an attempt to strike the dragon. Even knowing that Sheon was under the protection of the Crown made no difference to him.

After the Scale Captain’s stubborn refusal to leave, the Knights of the Crux were forced into combat with the Knights of the Scale to protect Sheon, for our future depends upon his survival. First the Peasants arrived, followed by Dragonslayers and finally Squires, all with the intent of destroying the almost defenseless creature. In the end, the Knights of the Scale, though strong, proved to be no match for the determined Knights of the Crux and, after a long fight, finally fell.

Though we protected Sheon this time, he is still in danger. We must be vigilant, for it is more than likely that others will come in search of the young dragon. They must not succeed.

EM Taweret – Atlantic’s Newest EM

July 15, 2013 By: Kylie Kinslayer Category: Atlantic News

 

EM Taweret

 

With a polite curtsey Atlantics newest EM was introduced to the mob that is Atlantic. She described herself as a Mom, a reader who devours books and as someone who has been playing Ultima Online since 2001. She went on to say she has not been much of a Roleplayer in the past but EM Bennu is helping her along in that area. EM Taweret honestly seems to be looking forward to hosting events for everyone, including those who call Fel home. It is no secret how the majority of events in Fel turn out, most everyone knows they end with mayhem and/or griefing. Yet she even wants to give those in Fel another shot at demonstrating they can “behave” long enough to have an event that even reds can attend. Some would call her an eternal optimist for that undertaking, while others would say she is simply trying to be as inclusive as she can be and trying to make things fun for everyone regardless of their playstyle. I would say she seems to be both.

 

EM Taweret will be hosting some events in the daytime hours and some during the late night hours for those who are unable to make the prime time events. In closing she mentioned she felt lucky to be an EM, especially on Atlantic, but the initial reaction of those in attendance seemed to show that we are lucky to have someone as friendly, patient and inclusive as her.

 

Welcome EM Taweret, may you be with us for years to come.

[News] Discord InThe Streets Of Britain!

June 25, 2013 By: Faeryl Category: Atlantic News

 

 

Early this morning,  Lord Solus, the Governor of Britain, announced several new regulations that were to go into effect in the city, claiming that “These are all in an effort to make our Britain, a safer Britain.”

After much dispute and cries of protest, some changes and clarifications were made. As of this moment, the regulations are thus:

1. All able bodied men and women are hereby drafted into the Britain Guard. Failure to report will be considered treason against the crown.

2. All citizens are now required to register in the town registeries. Your information will remain private and will not leave the government’s hands. Failure to register will result in immediate detention and possible deportation.

 noloitering

 

When I first arrived at the First Bank of Britain, I noted the increased guard presence that had been mentioned, as one of these guards quickly told to move along and that there was to be no loitering by order of the Governor. Blatantly disregarding his orders, I remained. As I observed the scene, I began to notice ever more protesters arriving, defiantly waving their torches and pitchforks, crying out about their rights, and telling others to reject the dictator. I also overheard a few of the protesters announcing a Protest March at the bank at 10PM by the eastern sky. (EDT)

Lord Solus continues to stand by his earlier statements, most recently claiming that “this is to ensure our safety.”

I am particularly interested in giving titles to Player Establishments, Guilds, Townships and Stall Owners to promote their businesses. This includes Citizens with Establishments that are not on New Magincia soil.
