It was a lot of fun to be in the Barrith house and great to be apart of a faction that had so much drive and direction as well as making considerable efforts to include people. From Ellie's position as a Slave there was almost always something to do, or someone dragging her off to do tasks whether i...

Hello, I rolled Ellie today, she was a lot of fun! It was great to try out some new things- primarily being 'evil'! I met a lot of great players, so thanks to everyone involved with her. Some specific groups, The Barriths! and Rauvlin, Aly, Gray'val Being a slave was really a blast, and you guys wen...

"Quentin, I can't be what you want me to be. I'm not-" My words are cut short as he grabs me around my waist and pulls me into a kiss. Here I was thinking I had gotten over him. That my heart was -truly- set with the drow. That I was prepared to sacrifice everything in an attempt to restore what I b...

Very exciting! To make a monk?

I came back to Andunor recently to see what has become of a city that shaped me and the masters that made me who I am. I've found that I grow weary of the surface, I am sick of the same attitudes and as always it hammers away at my skull and makes me tired and unhappy. Quentin has always been agreea...

A Duel With Nehala Most the guard and a few outsiders including myself came together for a spontaneous free for all in the arena within Cordor. While everyone was warding Nehala shuffled through the sand towards me and asked if I wanted to team up. I almost said no, out of everyone here we were the...

Things have been... Normal for me, at least, semi normal. It's been weeks since I've killed anything, even a goblin, I usually just idle around Cordor and sneak away into a tavern once the traffic dies down. It's nice I guess, nice to take a step away from the violence, the worry, troubles. All of t...

Haha, now I am imagining like the Andy Griffith show and Barney Fife locking them inside their own jail cell.

Quentin told me that since I've taken a lives, I have to save lives. It's the only way to redeem me. And I really want to be redeemed, if I go into this ritual come spring and I've not atoned, the holy avenger blade will kill me. Death is an awfully good motivator, it's ironic that it motivated me o...

I think I've met Sarina on all three of my characters so far haha, a great character for sure, and not a typical bad guy.

"There's just uh- one more thing... I wanted to ask." I say to Quentin, maybe he senses what I'm asking? He steps nearer saving me the effort. The 'one more thing' has absolutely nothing to do with words, his most recent lover is away, she left! At least for now. Am I being a selfish? Yes... But I'v...

In regards to religions, I think this goes back to what I said in the other thread, making sure you screen everything through an IC filter to weed out OOC concepts contaminating too heavily a characters mindset. Like some lore I was reading about Lolth, her clergy tried to mix the entire dark panthe...

I squint at the rising sun then avert my eyes. Secretly I always liked the sun despite my time in the dark. I'd take small vacations when I could to the surface, usually the desert, then I'd lay in the sand on a beach and just absorb the sun light into my bare skin. That's where I am headed today, I...

A quality that I think is good to have is screening your characters actions through an IC screen like based on your characters qualities, life experiences, personalities etc what would they do? This has been extra Important for me recently when trying to be evil. Those actions are hard to make somet...

"You won't betray me" he says to me. We're standing close, like always when I flounder he pulls me in tight. When I can't stand he stands for me. "I've already betrayed you." I murmur back, barely audible. My forehead rests against his shoulder, I don't want to look at him. "I warned the drow when a...

"Do you think dying for your friends is honorable?" I ask Quentin. I already know his answer. My head is swimming, I'm evil. How do I know? I'm conscious of the part of my heart that /wants/ to do evil. I want Quentin to hate me, I want to hurt him, I want to see him fail. I know what he cares about...

Why are you striving these days? Why are you trying to earn grace? Why are you crying? Let me lift up your face, just don't turn away... Why are you looking for love? Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough? To where will you go? Tell me where will you run, to where will you run? 'cause I'...

Everywhere I look there is beauty. Flowers spring up from carefully planted gardens bringing bright colors to the lush green grass. Nearby a river runs and dribbles down as a waterfall creating a calming ambient noise. It's dusk, the air is warm and the bird still chirp quietly. I'm sitting on a woo...

Hi! I wanted to give out some thank yous! Ellie is sticking around for awhile, at least for now the future is always in flux! But the dynamic of her story is changing, and I wanted to thank people that have been apart of that. I could probably write 100000 pages about some of these players but i'll ...

When I first began playing on Arelith I came from other places that had a much stricter maintained environments that came from NPCs that maintain said environment along with systems in place that also maintained said atmosphere. It was not possible to play outside of the particular narrative of the ...

I want to do it but I can't. If I did, it wouldn't be true because some part of me still believes it. The light is a lie, it's so bright it blinds you and you live in eternal ignorance. Quentin wants me to destroy a statue I made him. It was an image of him, with a plaque that has a poem. I tried, I...

But what changes if you know this information? Every time you see an outcast near a surface event twenty people with swords move around and stare at them until they leave? Every outcast is different in how they RP and arguably in their notorious status. I think an OOC tag would just become a genera...

What am I doing here? It was a snap shot choice, I didn't think it through, I just wanted to talk to someone. My friend, no... more than that... Someone I love. They left me without a word. It cut me deep considering how much I sacrificed to please her, to be with her. Now I face the prospect of bei...

The quoted post seems to suggest the action of making the outcast status no longer buyable is hamfisted? I don't really understand how, nothing about the outcast has changed except for the fact you cannot just throw coins and someone and receive the status. I guess it's sort of a way to monitor who ...

I don't like the idea of adding bonuses to the outcast status. Then people will just become an outcast because they get +1 strength to max optimize a build. Then the outcast status becomes a Build option, not an RP option. I guess you could say now people choose it regardless of RP, but I'd not want...
