Lauder

✧ Adventure Must Continue ✧

Player = Snek Lady

Species: Snakeman
Name: Ladata Idat
Title: The Godsmith (Increases Smithing and Magical Smithing by four tiers)
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Background:

Ladata originally hails from New England in the US, but had immigrated to Japan as a young child, her childhood typically had consisted of reading and writing with little else to do. She did not like really talking to other kids, nor did she particularly care about wanting to hang out with others, though she did get along nicely with others when she had to. Later on when she had become thirteen, Ladata had become introduced to the fun that is DMMO-RPGs where she quickly became immersed with making characters and acting as those characters as it went well with her ability to write and such, some days being a paladin for justice or a killer whose merciless intent was the fear of many players.

Then came YGGDRASIL, a game that Ladata had quickly become very addicted to, in fact she would remain on the game throughout most of it's life, finding that it was extremely fun to explore what the game had to offer and the endless possibilities that existed. In fact, Ladata is not even the first character that this woman has made, only being the latest in her long list of characters which once more varied in morality like they had in the past. However, Ladata was the first character to actually join a guild, an occult-based guild that was more for roleplaying than anything, but it was a difficult choice of how Ladata should be specced when looking at what the guild was about.

At first Ladata was nothing more than a roguish assassin, killing players who "discovered" what the guild was attempting to summon and kidnapping NPCs, then killing them with the excuse of their souls being able to upgrade their weapons and armor. That was when Ladata realized that a fun roleplay experience would be to have the character become a smith for the guild where she continued to do what she did, but this time, make exceptional weapons and the like for the guild in a very occult style. She made sure to make NPCs based around not only herself, but the guild as well, which proved harder than she thought, but she was wholly dedicated to the guild and let nothing stop her from having a good time.

Personality:
In real life, Ladata is a hardcore roleplayer who does little outside of that online, however, Ladata is a sweet girl who simply wants to have a good time in making a story. However, she is also really easy to embarrass when it comes to things that are not of the mundane nature, primarily things that are inherently lewd in nature. That said, she it is clear that Ladata is a shy girl, socially awkward at times when she isn't roleplaying, which has helped her as she just needs to roleplay if she wants to communicate something, no matter how awkward it is.

The ingame personality of Ladata, in simple terms, is a full on arrogant and overconfident in her own abilities. The character that Ladata made was designed to put herself above others at all times, even if they were superior to her in some aspect, and most importantly, Ladata was a sore loser. Ladata is unafraid of using underhanded tactics to get what she wants, very easy to exploit a weakness and has never been known to show mercy to someone who would be called her enemy. Hence her role as an underhanded rogue/assassin when the character had first been made. Furthermore, Ladata is played as someone who isn't known to shy away from any challenge that is presented to her, finding that she will do anything to prove another person wrong even if it lead to her character's death at certain times.

Uchaka

Having been so focused on her messages with Alisea, Uchaka had barely noticed River at first until he had started speaking to her directly, and even all it accomplished at first was little more than a blank stare from the Red-tagged. She cocked her head to the side and thought to herself for a moment, wondering why exactly River had decided to apologize to her, even though he made it very clear as to why. When he had finished speaking, her blank stare was still there and for a moment it seemed like she would not make a response, however, she was somewhat moved by someone actually acknowledging her as a human being for once, rather than a murder. The masked mage opened her mouth to speak and delivered a response in her still cold tone, "Apology accepted. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go meet with someone."

As she made her move to step past River, Uchaka heard Alisea approach the two, not ideal as in reality, Uchaka had not entirely forgiven River for his words the other day. "I guess the festival is alright," Uchaka responded, looking into the air before her mind got back on track with what she had wanted to speak to Alisea about. "Anyways, Alisea, what kind of spell do you think I could make by combining darkness and lightning? I am kind of stuck on it, it's been like that for a bit and I want to make something that's a bit unique, she said, bringing up her menu to begin looking at how she could combine things to make the perfect spell with the two trees that she had unlocked.

Yep. That's right. Uchaka had bothered Alisea to talk about menial mage things such as creating a spell that Uchaka could use. Granted, in Uchaka's mind this was something that was best discussed in person as PMs simply did not have the same meaning and she did not want her message to be misinterpreted as someone who wanted to make a spell purely to kill other people. "I was thinking of making something called 'Dark Plasma' and it would operate like a more power fireball that would explode into a big wall of darkness to blind enemies."

High Kingdom of Itherae

The Tri-Academy

There were still tensions between Cydernia and Itherae towards the Tyrian Empire, the war games had definately been a scare that still left a few people on edge within the nations. While Tyrian officials had made it clear that they were merely excising their right as a nation to prepare to defend itself, it left a sour taste between those on it's borders. Many in the Supra Dobranie wanted to lower the tensions between the three nations before things would spiral out of hand like it had in the Vigentino-Julian Conflict that had erupted shortly after Itherae had offered to settle a peaceful resolution between the two, granted the war seemed to show more and more incompetence between the two armies than anything else. That was when the first draft of what would later become the Tri-Academy Deal had been formulated by a small party within the Supra Dobranie.

The first draft of the deal had left the High Kingdom of Itherae as the sole funder for the academy and so it was revised on April 12th, to include the split funding between all three nations. Granted, it left Tyria with the greatest amount to pay as their economy produced a much more vast amount of money than Cydernia and Itherae could hope to achieve at the current status of their nations. With that revision came other speculations as to whether this deal would just be a waste of time for the Itheraens, however, it was more likely these speculators merely did not want to share Itheraen knowledge and tactics with other nations that may be later hostile towards each other. Yet, those speculators were quickly silenced by the fact that if Itherae could keep tensions low between the nations then they would not need to worry about a conflict, which was exactly what the Supra Dobranie had been aiming to accomplish with the bill for a time.

Other's of the Tyrian Delegation, holding a mere fourteen seats with little to say over the Itheraen political sphere, did make the point that if the Tyrian Empire would agree to the bill then that would show the faith that the Great Power had in the High Kingdom, as well as show proof of the legitimate success of the Tri-Academy in the future which may end up producing some of the best officers that the world has ever seen for Itheraen High Command to use in any future conflict.

Many agreed with the Tyrian Delegation and decided that the deal would prove to be of the best interest for Itherae, and for those other two nations which would hope to resolve their tensions. Eventually, the envoys would be given copies of the deal and sent to first the Tyrian Empire then to Cydernia. Finn Mahler, one of the Tyrian delegates in the Supra Dobranie brought the deal to the Tyrian Diet to be reviewed then, hopefully signed with little change to the deal's contents, then it would be taken back to Thermydon and sent to the Cydernian capital of Sovachevitsa by Herodes Pittheus, a man who had been sent to Cydernia earlier in the year and holder of the signature of the Trajkovski Accord.

Details of the Tri-Academy Deal

Whereas, the Government of the Cydernian Republic, the Government of the High Kingdom of Itherae, and the Government of the Tyrian Empire desirous of the advance of learning for aspiring officers and commanders, as well as goodwill between the three nations, will agree to the following:

• Article 1: The Tri-Academy will be founded out of goodwill and will be constructed as neutral ground on the border of Itherae, Tyria, and Cydernia.
• Article 2: Funding for the Academy will be divided as so between the three governments with a total funding of $2 Million
  -Tyrian Empire - 45%
  -High Kingdom of Itherae - 35%
  -Cydernian Republic - 20%
• Article 3: The Tri-Academy will act as an Embassy between all three governments, where concerns between all parties will be discussed and settled, with the backing of each government, through friendly exchange.
• Article 4: Neither of the two High Contracting Parties shall participate in any grouping of powers whatsoever that is directly or indirectly aimed at any other party.
• Article 5: The present treaty is concluded for a period of five years, with the proviso that, in so far as one of the High Contracting Parties does not denounce it one year prior to the expiration of this period, the validity of this treaty shall automatically be extended for another five years.

Uchaka

That meeting had been the most excruciating thing that she had sit through, granted she was at the very back to avoid getting eyes on her. Though, it did allow her time to sort through her previous hauls and see what she did and did not need. A long sword was definitely something she did not need, not specifically wanting to start down a new skill tree when she had already decided on her path as it seemed the most logical. Even better though, she did have money, money meant hat she could acquire more spells and more spells meant she had a more likely chance to survive.

However, Uchaka did wonder if she should begin to go down another spell tree to up her damage, however choosing a new tree was a bit ways away unless she found a mage trainer. Granted the only reason that she wanted to go down another tree was because she couldn’t quite figure out how to configure a spell that was both lightning and darkness, it was a hard enough task to come up with a spell but with two things that were almost opposite was even harder.

Uchaka walked away from the meeting just in time to begin to enjoy the festival, yet, she was still alone and she knew people would continue to look at her strangely for player killing, despite being pardoned. So, the mage opened her menu and began to type out PMs to two different individuals, one to Alisea and the other to Miss Tress. The message was quite simple, ”Hey, want to hang?”

Sports and Cars

Who would guess that a very important figure in Itheraen society would have been an avid viewer of the automobile industry, especially for a race that was sponsored across the great see that separated Eurania and the Fifth Continent. That avid viewer was none other than the Queen of the nation, herself, finding a strong liking to to the little cars that had been produced over the months. When the announcement of the race had come she had been sure to reserve herself a seat to watch the spectacle, while this news had not affected a majority of the public, who had had never seen a car in their lives, it did spark an interest in the more noble of people that inhabited Itherae's upper crust of society, that typically being government officials or wealthy land holders.

Queen Athena had spent a few days in Ustrela to watch the race, eventually returning to her homeland of Itherae, wanting a car of her own. However, there was the fact that the yearly, around April 18th through to the 21st, the Athlitikí Synkéntrosi or "Sport's Gathering"; a festival held annually in Thermydon with many sports, consisting of wrestling, running, and boxing is in full swing and will last for three days, one day for each sport. The Government even officially recognizes this three day excursion as an official holiday with the nation. Many take off work to travel to the city in order to see the spectacle of Athletes competing for recognition and fame in the official sports, while many unofficial ones are held around the nation more as a family interacting with their community. While women generally did not engage in the

Following the three days the official sports would be viewed by many officials, including the Queen, of course. It was a very fun event for all, with everyone watching, playing, and overall just betting on who would win. This year, the winner would be Hyllos Siculus, with his second year winning all three sports in first place. This won him a prize of $100,000 as well as a dinner in the noble company of royal family.

High Kingdom of Itherae

Officers and Mínbīng

When one joins the military, often times they expect to be served adequate food on their stay in the barracks, it was simply common courtesy back in Itherae. Yet, in the Confederacy of Hokkan-Shirito, the food was, simply put, rancid in almost all regard with a basic shred of any idea of what a man needs to eat in order to work properly. Rice and maggots was by no means what a civilized man was to be intended to eat, maybe the Faresian savages could live off such measly portions, but not a prideful and stronger Itheraen man, who was more used to eating a selection of bread, pork, and a side of greens.

However, these men would do as they were told, after all, High Command was doing what it could and they were on the other side of the world, but why was their meeting point not specified? Why would they have to sit here in kólasi with a bunch of men that had likely taken four of them while they were sleeping? None of the remaining thirty-two knew exactly, but at the very least they had a roof over their head and some shelter from the strange slums that they resided in. What was worse is that none of them really knew anything that these people would say, no customs knowledge, not even the basic culture was stated to them.

Yet, in the little time they were there, the one translator that they had with them was able to bargain for some better arrangements, primarily in the way of food that was not maggot infested. That translator happened to be a Hokkan man who had studied some basic Itheraen, and while he did not know that basic nuances of the language, which likely would have gotten him laughed out of town back in the High Kingdom by her majesty and the paupers alike, he got them the standard rice but even better, some actual protein from the market, primarily cattle, or was it horse? None of them cared, they were simply happy to have actual meat rather than some bugs that would often cause men to shiver.

That translator, Hong Daici, seemed to be very nice to them as well as eager to train under them as he was a part of kólasi’s militia. While he was technically a civilian, he told the Itheraens that he had dreams of serving under the Mikkado and doing what he wished to be the very best soldier that he could possibly be for his nation.

The Itheraen’s felt the man’s patriotism, in fact it actually brought out a tear from Lieutenant Georgious Draguomis, who had done little other than complain about their living conditions, as he was reminded of when he wanted to serve the kingdom proud in the name Her Majesty Queen Athena. Many of the men were also moved, and some even had questioned if they truly wished to leave and let this foreign man to whatever fate had in store for him. In fact, Hong had earned their respect, which was rare for Itheraens who viewed themselves as better than many Faresians, and was given the title of ”Mikrós aderfós” which translated to “Little Brother” in Itheraen as many of the men had grown fond of his presence, rather than just seeing him as some translator.

Yet, many of the Itheraens, including one Artillery Officer, Jayr Mikos, grew worried of the four who had gone missing in the night, so much so that the men began to fight amongst one another to form a search party and find them, despite having been a few weeks since the incident and their trail likely having gone cold after their first attempt to find them by asking the people when they didn’t have Mikrós aderfós with them. However, there was also the argument that if they stayed then eventually the Confederacy would dispatch officials to go take them to their proper location so that they could fulfil orders. This quickly turned into a heated argument and somewhere down the line Jayr and Georgious had gotten into a scuffle after Jayr claimed Georgious did not care for his Itheraen brothers. This, in turn, led to a holy painting that had been hung in the militia barracks being destroyed.

Several Hokkan men were grievously offended by the act, throwing insults at the men, who had little clue as to what they were saying but one of them knew enough Itheraen, from having heard the officer’s incessant complaining, to say “Whore Queen Athena.” That was the last line drawn, Jayr challenged the man to a duel in the dawn out in the densest woodlands they could find, which none of the officers were sure if it was even legal. It had been accepted and all men, including Hong swore to secrecy.

Jayr, being armed himself with a revolver, and the militia man who had been named as Chu were escorted into the jungle by some of the officers and other militia men, as well as Hong. The two men turned their backs to each other the moment that they had reached their destination, after both said prayers to their respective faiths, the countdown was commenced. Hong regarded it as the most tense feeling he has ever had when in the presence of the Itheraens, not knowing that they would be violent enough to take a life if someone insulted their Queen, which he viewed as lesser to the Mikkado. Once the countdown finished, only a single shot had been fired and a bullet had landed itself firmly in Chu’s chest, who had little time to draw up his own weapon. The shot had gone through the heart of the Hakkon and was lodged firmly in his spine, he bled out in seconds.

Silently, all the officers were taken back to the barracks while some of the others took Chu to be buried. None of them uttered a word, everyone would comply to their promises. All the officers would remain silent that day, then the argument was settled, they would wait for Confederate officials to come to them.

High Kingdom of Itherae

War's Beckoning

It seemed that Itherae's offer to make peace between the two quelling nations of Julia and Vigentino had fallen upon deaf ears, while both parties may have once been open to the idea of peace it was lost. Queen Athena Tyroli had very little words to say over the incident of the Julian revolt in March, regarding it more as "... a sad instability that let war-mongers unsheathe their blades and set upon the world in a blaze of smoke and and fire..." While Itherae's stance on the declaration of war was more or less neutral, the government within the Great Empire of Helrox decided to far the flames further by allowing Cadian troops to move through the territory in aid of the City-State of Julia. Upon word of this, the Queen's own words were, "I am not surprised that the Helroxi Government would fuel the fans of war in such a manner, it sickens me to see such leaders of powerful nations not realize the full weight of their actions. I pray that Cadia see sense in not raising their banner for war as it would only bring destabilization to our own nation as well."

Later that day, Queen Athena and most members of the Supra Dobranie convened later that day to speak of what to do on the situation regarding the chance that Cadia does aid it's 'ally' in a war against the Great Power of Vigentino. Little word has come out of the regarding the meeting but many speculate that soldiers may be moved to the border in an attempt to be sure that actions of Cadia do not destabilize Itherae itself nor her ally, Cydernia, so it would be likely there would be communications between both nations on what would be the best course of action the two would take together given the Trakovski Accord that had been signed earlier in the year.

Many hope that the High Kingdom will not have to begin fighting it's own war as it has proven in the past and, in the case of Cydernia, is always a costly affair. The Itheraen Government did not want to end up in the same state that Cydernia had once been in, in major debt and a an overall unstable backwater. That is why Itherae was hesitant on considering going to war, however, with hushed talks in private, it seems that only the Supra Dobranie would now the official Itheraen response to such a contingent. However, Alexandros Basae, Superintendent of the Army, stated that "Should Itherae be threatened with the possibility of total instibily of the region, she will not be afraid to defend herself and her ally of Cydernia."

The world would watch Julia and Vigentino fight and Cadia would be the final arbiter of what Itherae would do. May they make the correct choice.

High Kingdom of Itherae

Visiting Family

Dearest Sister,

I have written to you to ease your mind as I have safely arrived in Thermydon, the capital of that nation who has yet to engage in saber rattling war games, Itherae. The first sight I was greeted to when I had first entered the nation was the great amount of untouched land within it, some views were remarkably breathtaking and it reminded me of the views from the farm we grew up on in Cydernia. A man by the name of Kaenas Mnesus, a coal miner native to the country, explained to me that the reason for much of this untouched land was for the mere fact that Itheraens prefer to stick to their roots rather than industrialize heavily like the nation of Tyria.

When we had arrived to Thermydon, it had become clear that the city was more of a large trading hub than a large industrial power and we had passed many farms outside the city for what seemed like kilometers after the untouched land had ended. In fact there was maybe a handful of factories at most, so we could presume that many Itheraens, like us, make a majority of their income off of farming to be sold in the city, or mining for coal. Nevertheless, Kaenas had offered to show me around the foreign city in which I had agreed to. Outside the train station, was a rather large and bustling market, advertising the consumerist views of the people who lived here. There were many shops and I passed by a professional camera man who had offered to take my picture in exchange for a very small amount of money. I agreed and Kaenas followed me into the building the man took his pictures in. This man was named Thero Hyllus and when I made conversation with him, he explained that in actuality, many Itheraens who lived in these cities worked in small businesses, mainly run by families but really the people just wished to get money to go to the theatre, a common pastime in Itherae. However, I was soon accosted by a group of thugs who had said some rather xenophobic things, only told off by the two I was with, which was explained that it was actually rather typical of Itheraens to do.

It seemed that people such as Kaenas and Thero were a rare breed in Thermydon where many did not like outsiders such as myself. That explained the rather isolationist view the nation seemed to take when it was not dealing with the political troubles of the world, such as Cadian and Tyrian war games.

Regardless, after my picture had been taken Kaenas took me to a grand sight. It was the ‘Palace of the Gods’ which was built in the year 1056 and, while I could not go inside to view myself, told the stories of ancient gods that many Itheraens had believed in before the rise of our own religion. The palace was large and opulent, and virtually untouched and stood out as a marker of old architecture within the city that had built around it.

While I would have loved to stay and learn more of the city, I had to retire to our cousin’s home on the edge of the city and say goodbye to Kaenas, though he did invite me to go to the theatre.

Best wishes,
Leopold Balkanski
