Elorathall who plays Aernoud. It's not easy playing a flawed character and the cause of contention, but it's done so well that it has created interesting interactions for those with and around him. Refreshing to see a player character drive a story in such a way!

I'm on the side of Amia needing a narrative/server wide story though general enough to involve others. I think it can be done without neglecting groups of players. As long as there's the ability to divide and conquer between settlements and groups of players, the server-wide story can be fragmented ...

A while ago, the kingdom of Kohlingen lived in relative harmony. The workers carried on with their work at the construction site, once known as the Uhm depression. An old plan to build a keep for the once King Simmons, although this was shifting through various motions and still at its middle phase...

Those traveling past the Gulf of Lumerior, Pearldiver's Peak may have noticed a thick greyish gas leaking out of a collapsed rubbled entrance from a southwest cliff corner, until days to come the shadowing smoke was no more, only the sight of the sea uncommon to any Amian resident. Along the coast, ...

For me as an individual DM, 30 caster levels will never justify automatic success and the ability to do something perfectly just because a player can whip out the rules of a spell from d20srd and do whatever with it. If someone was granted the ability to do something just 'because they had high clas...

After the day of the gathering, when the temporary location had magically revealed itself as the Ruin Hill cave on every notice, a certain bardess in burgandy can be seen more often around the Rusty Hoe Taphouse & Inn. She mostly spent her time with Griff at the bar, treating herself to the lei...

*Fliers appear to surface in areas on Amia, tacked on the notice board at Kampo's Warehouse and on the cliff walls along the Gulf of Lumorier.* Some call our outlandish ways criminal, though we consider ourselves protectors of our way of living. Survivors against the deeds of oppressive nobles. Our ...

As news continues to spread with the ever-increasing presence of the Wave & Serpent Guild, reports of threats across Amia and areas most visited by Amian inhabitants are tacked onto the guild's notice board and eventually distributed to other bulletin boards through the courier services. Whilst...

It all began when two children by the names of Karla and Katrina arrived at the Wave & Serpent guild in the most extravagant with the Lady Burgandy, Mimi, her younger brother George and a familiar old alchemist by the name of Gert, an old alchemist. An outburst of cries came from the children, ...

This is a reminder of the PvP rules. Do not PvP in a settlement without DM supervision, no exceptions. This means a DM has to be online, logged in as a GameMaster, and notified that PvP may occur. Assuming NPCs would react in a particular way or not at all is considered a form of metagaming. NPC rea...

Trouble at Moonpier. Another melody fills the air once more from the soprano's voice. This time an energetic vibrato echoed across the coastal town. The commonfolk and some of the militia found themselves exerting their energy on the spot, wiggling their arms and swaying their hips in ways they coul...

On a fine day at Frontier's Rest, the song of a soprano can be heard coming from the northern outskirts. The melody consists of trills and soft legato vowels rather than audible words, the use of operatic melisma was evident. Several guards and on-lookers found themselves asleep whilst the common fo...
