Have I posted? I wrote up one and put it up, but many posts were lost in the recent catastrophe.

 

[Midge913]

Yes sir you are good. Your post was submitted just before the crash.

 

[Midge913]

I am working on the update folks, It should hopefully be up later tonight.

 

[Bane_of_Kings]

Awesome . Great news.

 

[Midge913]

And the update has been posted!!! Enjoy this one folks. Questions get with me. The next update is scheduled for FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16TH.

 

[Rems]

I really like the diary excerpts you put in at the start of each update Midge. They're nicely foreboding and set the mood of the roleplay very well.

 

[Midge913]

Cheers mate! You get my PM's regarding Age of Dragons and Keybearers?

 

[Bane_of_Kings]

I'll have my post up by the end of the weekend for sure, great to have a new update .

 

[Anilar]

Great update Midge, and I agree with Rems about the diary parts. Its a very nice touch.
Might be inspired by the idea a little, but maybe more like little slivers of prayers.

 

[Glasses man]

I must tell you I will be following this rp from the shadows I would join but my time is very limited and I want the perfect rp for me as I will only be able to join one make sure this keeps going

 

[Midge913]

A little less than a week out from the update folks. Just a reminder to post if you need to.

 

[Midge913]

So my workday today has sucked balls, leaving me very little time in front of the computer. I guess it works out ok as I received a couple of PMs from folks indicating that they would not be able to post until tomorrow. So, I will be working on the update over the course of the weekend, most likely posting it sometime Sunday evening.

 

[Midge913]

Hey all, update has been posted. If you have any questions about it please get with me and let me know. Also, since you have come in contact with some of the Fae, at least ones that you now recognize, I thought it would be prudent to remind you of the information that I posted up earlier in the thread regarding them:

The Fae:
The realms of the Faerie courts lie in the wild places of the world. Deep forests, mammoth mountains and ravines, untarnished lakes and rivers all play home to one sort of Fae or another. These beings influence the world by their presence, bringing life or death depending on their allegiences. Powerful magic weilders, perfect swordsman, archers beyond compare, uncontrolable berzerkers all populate the ranks of the fae. Such is their strength in the arcane that it is rumored that the Fae King Oberon was the first to instruct humans in the ways of sorcery. The Faerie realms can be divided into two different courts, Seelie and Unseelie, or Summer and Winter, and each approaches the world through vastly different points of view. Though its seems that their are good Faeries and bad Faeries, the way that the Fae as a whole look at the human race is like a much older sibling does a much younger one, with disdain and annoyance. The Fae are immortal, never falling to sickness or old age, and to them Humanity is no more than a primitive ape like culture that exists to be the playthings and amusements for their kind. To bargain with the Fae is to do so at your own peril, for their sense of morality is truely alien to a human. They will exploit any loop hole they can find in the deal you have made and use it to their advantage. Though they cannot speak a lie, the Fae have all grown very adept at speaking half truths and in riddles. Just because the Faerie you encounter is of the Seelie court, doesn't mean that it wont ultimately do you harm.

Each of the courts is ruled over by a trio of Faerie Queens: the Mother, the Queen, and the Lady. Though they may take consorts, or even husbands as in the case of the Summer Queen, Tatiana, the men of the Fae Courts always hold less power than the females. Though she is the most powerful of the lot, the Mother of each of the courts is never seen, having preferred in her old age, which is quite incomprehensible for an immortal being, to withdraw from the world. The Queen is the true power of the Fae Court, each respectively wielding the power of life and light and death and darkness. Always in balance, yet always striving to overtake the other. The Lady is the most often, if one can call the rarity of an encounter with a Fae Lord something that happens often, seen plying her influence in the human world. Her curiosity of the world of men drawn from either the creativity and life that humans lead, or their capacity for cruelty, violence or war.

Though it is something not often spoken about, it is known that the Rulers of the respective courts cannot take direct action against the other court. These rules engrained in the magic that courses through their very veins. In answer to this, each of the courts employs a mortal to act as their champion. The individual is gifted the mantel of the Knight and with this title comes power beyond what a normal man could ever hope to employ and an elongated life span.

As a whole, Hunters try to avoid contact with the Fae, but as human civilization expands ever outward, contacts with the wild things that live in wild places grow ever more frequent. There really is little defense that humanity has against these eons old creatures, save pure iron. Magic bounces off of them, tempered steel is ineffective, and things of the natural world tend to be taken over by the nature magic of the Faerie in question. It is a good thing that the most powerful Fae, the Lords and Ladies of the faerie courts, tend to ignore humanity as we would a colony of ants. The last recorded encounter with one of the Lords of the Fae Courts was well over 500 years ago. However, there are plenty of half fae, the offspring of a Faerie Lord or Ladies and human consort, that plague humanity. Each of these half-breeds gains unnaturally long life and arcane and supernatural abilities from their Faerie parent and based on their lineage are claimed by one of the Faerie courts. These types of fae are all vulnerable to the touch of pure iron, but the ways to kill them are as varied as the types of Fae themselves.

Seelie Fae: Also known as Summer Fae, this is the Faerie court that most people think of when they speak of Faeries. The are responsible for the life and growth of the natural world. Ranging from miniscule sprites to hulking centaurs, these fae are the most amiable and cooperative with the human world. Though it has been known for Seelie Fae to take humans as food, it is in the same manner as a wolf taking a deer in the hunt. They see it as a natural cycle of predator and prey, the weak being consumed by the strong. The feeding off of humans is definitely not the norm for members of the seelie court, but it has happened from time to time.

Unseelie Fae: As in all things nature must have balance. The Unseelie, or Winter Fae, are cruel, capricious, and malevolent. Reveling in the part of the natural cycle concerned with death and decay. It is among the ranks of the Unseelie that you will find Incubi, Succubi, trolls, Gremlins, and all sort of nasty and unsavory beast. Unseelie fae love human prey, this is evidenced by the sheer number of forms that have evolved over the milennia, specifically adapted to feed on humans. These beasts are nasty, blood thristy, and evil.

Next update will be two weeks out on MONDAY DECEMBER 3rd. Happy posting!

 

[Midge913]

So a week to go folks. Get those posts up as I plan to move forward on the 3rd.

 

[Midge913]

Alrighty folks...

So the update is supposed to be in three days and only one of twelve of you has posted. Cheers Romero for that. It looks like I may have to push back the update if posts dont start coming in. Concerns or questions about the update, please get with me.

 

[Bane_of_Kings]

Apologies for the delay, I'll have my post up on Wednesday if that's alright, I've been overloaded with not just loads of other projects at the moment but also Coursework. But now that most of my Coursework's out of the way I should be able to focus more time on the RP.

No worries man, as you can see, you are not the only one with lots of stuff going on. It is that time of year, holidays, school finals, lots of family stuff going on, I have come to prepare myself for the slow down.

With that said, I would still like to move on with the RP in a weeks time. The new update deadline shall henceforth be MONDAY DECEMBER 10th. All Y'all save Romero need to post by then.

 

[Midge913]

Alright folks,

So I sent out a bunch of PMs, but I wanted to address things here in the thread as well. The current update has been up for 17 days and in that time only 2 people have posted. Now to me this seems a bit out of character for an RP that was moving along rather steadily. So that leads me to ask the question, was there something about the current update that put you off posting?

As we have the Christmas Holidays coming up, I want to make sure that this doesn't sit around for longer than it needs to and as such I think that the update should proceed as planned on the 10th. So that gives everyone about 5 days to post. My second and final question is, is that something that everyone can do?

If you have RL stuff going on, I completely understand, but I would just like to know so I am not just spinning my wheels here so to speak. Get with me either here in the thread, via PM, or whatever other means you have of getting ahold of me and let me know.

 

[Santaire]

Well if I'm lucky enough to get a day off school from snow then I'll post on that day, otherwise I'll post something at the weekend

 

[Midge913]

Well folks, today was supposed to be update day. However, my weekend schedule really killed any chance of writing that I had. I will be updating Tashiri of Telanoth today and since 5 of the ten people that I believe are still active in this RP have posted I will be moving on with the update tomorrow. If you are one of the folks who has yet to post, I plan my update being up around 4:30 EST tomorrow, you have until then to get a post in.
