@Muttonhawk If this is about calendars, then the Vetruvians already have a calendar based on the annual flooding of the Mahd.
@Kho Depends, would you say Daeron views Aulus as his son?


Yeah, Aulus is more or less part of the family - enough for him to view Hemala as his sister and vice versa. Daeron also seems to have wished for Aulus to be at his side when the time is right.

But I only ask the question because the new rank system doesn't seem to take Barons into account, and that leaves me wondering what Aulus is now. He's technically the head of House Eskandar (a very minor house) and nominally/titularly Lord of Castle Cramz.
What's a 'nintendo'?
@TheDuncanMorgan What about Aulus? Is he now no longer a Baron, but a Duke?


The Sacred and God-granted Kingdom of Ulgyrikan



Friday 5th January, 1900


To His Imperial Highness, Emperor Rurn of the Empire of Volanth,

His Sacred Majesty was pleased to receive your letter and has instructed me to respond forthwith. While His Sacred Majesty unfortunately cannot be personally present at this World Fair, be assured that the President of the Board of Trade, the Right Honourable Dr Gerald William Balfour, will be present along with our finest engineers. The Sacred Kingdom will be pleased to display, along with other nations of the world, some of its most recent inventions and discoveries. International peace and harmony is the foremost desire of the Sacred Kingdom, and peace for all the inhabitants of the Earth, and such a Fair will certainly contribute to these lofty goals and aspirations. We thank His Imperial Highness for his initiative and this matter, and hope that we shall see many such initiatives in future.

Ambassador Johanson is most welcome to the Sacred Kingdom. We look forward to his arrival and to the commencement of discussions between our two nations. His Sacred Majesty is most desirous of putting any ill-will between our two nations aside, and fostering as much as is possible good relations and friendship. It is most heartening to see that His Imperial Highness' actions appear to be in line with the wishes of His Sacred Majesty. This can only bode well, and is a tremendous start to what promises to be a truly glorious century.

Yours sincerely,
The Right Honourable Lord Francis Knollys, 1st Viscount Knollys, Private Secretary to the Sovereign
@Muttonhawk There are obviously some terrible posts in the IC - as there generally are in any healthy IC. (For instance, I remember reading one that I personally thought was rather bad - so much so that I became physically ill and could not read anything for a good day or so afterwards). But I can assure you that as far as I have read, none of these rare bad posts is yours.

*And now everyone rushes off to reread their posts and find which one made Kho ill*

I've actually found that rereading some of my posts was a terrible and depressing experience overall.

That would certainly give him plenty of time to engage in intellectual discussion with his invisible friends, yes. They will unravel the secrets of the universe together.
tfw you need to call someone a slug

'You most loveless in creation, you brimming with the blackest blackness that these oceans could e'er conjure. Do you fear the Leviathans of the deeps and the dragons of my haughty heights? There are no dragons and no Leviathans before your primal gloom!'
...
'You have sat dormant, sinking in the sands of despondency and inertia. And mayhaps that is for the best of all. For the release of your inky blackness unto the world is something even I would not wish.'
...
'You see, there are different kinds of evils and villanies that exist and have potential to exist. There are diabolical forms, there are sinister and vicious forms, there are cunning ones, and there are foolish cantankerous ones. There are ones which have eaten of wickendess and drank of malignity, and ones so depraved that they cannot see their own evil (aye, and this is the most common form! Why, this very type may well believe sincerely that it does good!) And there are many types which were I to list them all we would be here for a very long time indeed - not that time is of much relevance to us.'
...
'What I am getting at is that of all these forms, there are none as unto you. Belruarc, you flighty coward; you slinking worm; you insectoid of desperation: you are the worst of them all, the most stagnant cesspool of moral filth - not that morality matters to any form, of course. What distinguishes you is that you tap into a level of repulsiveness which even the most decadent and depraved of villains find inherently execrable. To make it easier for your now-human mind to grasp; of all the evils that the animal kingdom has in store for humanity, there are none which are abhorred quite like the slug. Its form, its excretions; all that it is disgusts and repels - even other animals. That is your comparison, Belruarc.'

Try to allow him to become sane or he's going to become a mad hermit. :P


Maybe he'll achieve enlightenment and in so doing release the ghosts forevermore. Then he will lead Formaroth into a glorious new age with all he has learned from the ghosts that were never actually there.
@TheDuncanMorgan Well, things could worse ^^'
He could be seeing three ghosts

*Is actually planning to add a ghost for every person Aulus kills*
