Ratha docks are now open. At this time there are still pirates on first tier, but you can still enter the city.

I know there is still about 4 towers or so left and a few units. If you want to help come on over and talk to someone in charge.

Along with myself, Ecoles and other visitors to Ratha's shores have been made to feel quiet welcome in lending aid to the struggle against the enemies of the Realms. I'm sure that another brave and capable cleric such as yourself would be well recieved.

Yesterday I caught a handicapped guy parking in one of our spots and beat the crap out of him.

Okie a little update on stuff, Ratha is free of the enemy at this time, Congrats to All the Milita and Civilians that chipped in alike, Special Mentions go to Commander Beliel who probably has matchsticks holding his eyes open. there were many many Rathans who pulled together when we really needed it and kicked some pirate butt. Also thanks for tireless work in the Triage, the Empaths, Clerics and folks guarding the Triage.

The Rathan folks really proved themselfs, was good to watch the civilians and Milita working together for the good of Ratha.

>I would like to add that folks wishing to help please feel free to visit and speak with a Rathan Commander we can let you know where triages etc are and which folks are leading attacks etc.

This is really the best way to go about it. As a Commander from Ilithi, I can tell you I had my own fears of being overun by multitudes of folks wishing to help. While their efforts would be welcomed, very welcomed, I also knew the dangers of added confusion to our already established routines.

I had mentioned in another post how it was very nice to see the true seperation of Provinces that we see during this war. Seperation in a way where most folks have picked the Province they wish to fight in and have stayed put. With this commitment, they also see the need to follow procedure. This would also carry over to any assistance to other Provinces. People have learned to cling to procedure. It adds a sense of security.


I had thought to travel to Ratha but our wise leader, Ferdahl Kukalakai, has instructed us to stay close to home with patrols only going as far north as Leth.

I am thrilled to see Ratha taken back. It gave me great pleasure to learn of this and I am anxious to see how the outcasts and pirates will respond. I think Jourok has surely lost face in the eyes of the Outcasts.

Well done Rathians. You folks kicked some major tail.

My heart was going out to you all, but I figured if we pulled out of Zoluren to come aid, even if it was needed (which obviously by the results it was not), that they would swing in and strike while we were on Ratha or one of the other islands.

Now that Ratha is free, I wager in no time at all the other islands will be as well.

Keep your swords sharp. They are not done with us yet. Not by a long ways.

Had a chance ter speak with the head of the local constabulary today after inspections were conducted. Ratha now has additional onagers and ballistas. Deckhands fer the Eskaith have been tasked with stocking munitions dumps fer each weapon, too. The weapons can move, but the stockpiles doan, so know where yer stockpiles are.

Also learned that the books missing from Sshoi-sson Palace were finally determined. Seems Aedem ran off with birth records dating from the year 262 ter 264 AV. There are a number of people who might've been born during that time, but my best guess'd be it was Aedem hisself.

Interesting that so many texts've been stolen by the pirates. First the military histories of Mer'Kresh, then the manuscript about the Menhir Stones of Aesry, and now birth records from Ratha. I doan believe that Aedem is starting a schoolhouse fer orphans, either.

That's all fer now,

Hello all!
Just giving you folks a heads up for a bard boat fund sale which will take place in Ratha. The plan is to have a small sale (around 10 - 15 items) which will be held at the auction boursar. Intended date and time are friday february 18, around 3-4 pm eastern (not final). The auction will be held by... well... ME!! and I'll be doing my best to give it a bardic flair. I hope to see you all there supporting our bard boat fund with wonderful buys.

The following is the list of items currently planned for the sale. How many exactly are put on sale will depend both on my time, and the success of this sale. If things go well and time permits, I might take out an extra item or two.

1)an ice-blue velvet gown trimmed with silvery embroidery - Along the edges of the gown are embroidered dryads dancing around their trees.

2)a silvery woven-leaf gown attractively embroidered with a seascape pattern in black thread - Cresting waves race toward the distant shore of an island silhouetted in the background as birds pinpoint the sky around it, diving for morsels from the ocean. A beautiful merchantman at full sail skims across the foam, its bow curving gently away from the island as it heads out to sea.

3)a ruddy leather cloak clasped with a dull golden shrike - The hooded cloak is crafted from heavy leather dyed the color of dried blood. The golden shrike clasp is scratched and dull.

4)a scarlet cashmere cavalier's cloak from inside your gold backpack - Sewn from the finest deep scarlet cashmere, the cloak displays excellent tailoring and care in the making. A rapier clasp of brushed gold gleams at the neckline. You also see a small label. Sewn into one seam of the cloak is a small label that reads: ~*Made by Andriane*~ Size Medium.

5)a motley jester's tabard of faded green and gold satin diamonds - The tabard's edges are bordered with cheap glass beads. Brass coins hang from each quilted diamond's tip and tiny brass bells line the dagged hems

6)a heavy gold cloisonne cloak pin with a rocky mountain trail in the moonlight - Bright gemstone colors are painted across the face of the pin. Glistening moonlight filters through the jade-colored forest that lines the steep rocky trail. A small niche, deep within the cliff face, holds an oiled black walnut psaltery as if the very mountain protects the precious instrument from the elements for its master.
A heavy gold cloisonne cloak pin reads:
"Never say never."

7)a fine linen apron embroidered with shimmering blue dolphins - The dolphins have been stitched using a metallic blue thread, giving them a shimmering quality.

8)a sequin edged scarf of fluid sapphire silk - Sewn onto one end of the scarf is a small label that reads: ~*Made by Andriane*~

9)a wide dwarven mining belt of sturdy worn leather - This leather belt, heavily scarred from years in the mines, is cleverly crafted to hold picks, axes and hammers. Etched on the inside of the belt are the words, "Crafted from an ancient Dwarven manuscript by Donol Waterbourne."

10)slender tree-shaped belt adorned with needleworked squirrels - The trunk of the tree forms the long slender belt, while a steel buckle coated with a light green patina serves as the boughs. Along the trunk, squirrels are depicted hiding acorns in various knotholes of the tree

11)a miniature cambrinth figurine shaped to resemble a winged-dragon

12)a faded vellum - Huldah's Pall

13)a braided mistwood wedding band set with a cabachon garnet - Each of the dark silver- and green-veined twigs was braided together on the tree as it grew, binding four separate strands into a single whole representing heart, mind, body and soul. The braids split and curve out at the center of the band to cradle a dark orange-red cabochon garnet. Being without beginning or end, rings such as these are prized by couples in northeastern Therengia as symbols of eternal love and the union of two lives into one.

14)a long golden baton inlaid in black opal with the image of a scaled dragon

15)a leather thigh quiver embossed with a pair of yellow wolf's eyes

::tacked to the door of the bank, hanging outside the sea caves under a rock, tacked here and there on the long stairs, you see several notices laying about::




Eoworfina hosted a meeting for the citizens of Rathan and Aesry alike. Some very informative information was passed on, regarding upcomming events. I highly recommend everyone get with anyone who was there (Eowor, Nonomis, Wabo, Myself, Waveshell, Spiritshadow, Alesyra, Palasix, a few others) to find out what was missed. This needs to be done SOON (PC soon, not Simu soon) to avert any possible calamities. Thank you.

Greetings Citizens,

I will be holding an island meeting (OOC - Sunday October 1st, at 10:00 pm. est.) in the ballroom of the Imperial Palm Inn to introduce myself and discuss island concerns. Afterwards there will be a short meeting to set up interviews for those wishing to apply for commander and ambassador positions. Please keep in mind that not all those who apply will be given commands since positions are limited. We hope to build a solid military, so we'll be starting out small and adding as needed.

Together we shall protect our home,

Patriarch Varne Redthorne

Representative, Council of the Nine Houses

Greetings Rathan citizens,

I have received word that some of you would like information on the ambassador/emissary duties before applying for these positions to serve the Council of Nine. Let me see if I can clarify it some.

General Requirements:

1. All applicants will be expected to be citizens of Ratha.
2. These are diplomatic positions and those comissioned will be expected to behave in a respectful manner as you will be representing Ratha and the Council.

Emissary:

1. The Emissary position is good for those who wish to stay close to home. They will be expected to travel between the islands to deliver information if the Council requires it.
2. An Emissary will be expected to keep the Council informed of any concerns or happenings throughout the islands especially on Ratha.
3. An Emissary may continue to live on Ratha and only travel when deemed necessary to keep the Council informed. The Council will depend on them to be their eyes and ears on Ratha. They will be expected to attend social and Council events as much as possible.

Ambassador:

1. Ambassadors will be expected to "live" in the province they are assigned, spending the bulk of their time there. That's not to say that they can't travel periodically but in order to be effective in the position you have to be in the area a good amount of the time.
2. Ambassadors will be the eyes, ears, and voice of the Council on the mainland, so attending their social and court functions as much as possible is expected.
3. Ambassadors will be asked to travel home periodically for meetings and to deliver reports.

By My Hand,

Chief Constable Joharn

Ragran planned to attack Joharn the other day, but he wouldn't leave the Constables Office on the third tier. I'm sure he was was too frightened to do it. Couldn't frb cuz there were a bunch of onlookers. Tried to tingle his sword out of his hand, but one, the mana sucks so attempt failed, and two, the mana sucks. That would be third too.

He threatened to deport Rag. Ragran shall have his vengence!

:oP Ragran

insolence

:oP Ragran

Are interviews still taking place or have they all been completed? Just wondering as I wasn't sure whether I should leave Ratha for a short trip or not.

Hi, I don't suppose there have been any further developments with regards to this? I'm not in a hurry to go anywhere other than Ratha but I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything announced elsewhere.

Is he a red malevolent triforce or an alternatively blue or green, soothing, powerful and poorly guarded in equal great measure triforce?
