long live the obsidian order and the realm of order!

As for Mithril’s Anvil, Heather has been a very busy bee and has gotten most of her trees done. It is looking good!

Now that I’ve gotten my little business site up (yessy.com/treheylcreations) I should have a bit more time to get back to work on the mid-range building.

LONG LIVE ISTARIA

At this time I’d like to thank the Scions of Istaria for hosting the event, and The Annatar, Aurora Alliance and Obsidian Order for their contributions to the alliance and help with the planning of it. The Alliance should take about two weeks to all play out, though certainly no one will be bound every second, there will be several minor hunts, a day dedicated to crafting, a day of training in the arena for any interested, the major assault on the Aegis leadership and a victory feast for the living races.

OOC:The Order Underground supports community building and roleplay, this will be a roleplay event, hopefully we’ve covered all the bases hunting, crafting, a little pvp and everyone gets together thats interested and has a good time with it.

This was actually a time of experimentation, rather than an age of flourishing. You see, we dragons had lost the Sleeper, had lost Draak, had lost many adults and ancients at Tazoon, and were generally in a sorry and confused state. We, who had once been so great, were great no longer. To learn why, we turned to the biped schools – if you can’t beat them, join them, I suppose. Our natural skills with tooth and claw were perhaps the only thing recognizable, while the rest would indeed look very similar to the biped schools of today. With the loss at Draak, we had even temporarily forgotten what the Prime was and channeled instead the power of the sky, Storm! To be honest, I miss the Storm far more than I did the bloodmage school…

After the shocked elders came forth and reminded us of our history and culture, we once again took up the Prime and trained again as dragons. Valkoth and Semeneth directed us to look inwards – to retrain the skills we had lost. Of the remaining elders, they asked them focus on one aspect of study to perfect the dragon body, mind, or soul. It was then understood that we did not lose so much because we were inferior, but because we had forgotten our virtues and perfection of ages past. Admittedly, this was a very, very difficult time and we did indeed feel inferior. But this continued study has revealed so much more and strengthened our connection with the Prime, leading to the training for Silver Strike and Gold Rage, as well as several more recent abilities and more continue to be discovered.

Dragons may someday reclaim their place, but it is unlikely we shall ever do it the way bipeds would. We have so much time as dragons – and that time allows us to perfect ourselves, rather than our schools.

It must, however, be made clear that collectible items are just that. Say something in the description; remove hoard values and attunement; retain or add a minimal coin value.

Once a list has been compiled, I would be happy to make unique icons for the items so that they don’t have to resemble trophies. For items that fit existing icons I would write a note saying so. My only reservation is that Virtrium will probably frak up the icons with random tinting like they did with rare bottlecaps, hot cocoa, et cetera.
