Realm for Sale

That which i would not say is now common knowledge.

The realm of Triskele is for sale.

It seems at times as though the whole realm is holding its breath, waiting for something.. for word of a buyer.. the next owner. There are evenings where no one is in the realm at all but for me, and i not for long.

I suspect that many of us are out looking for other options, other land and other realms.

Some options have been found. Indeed it seems there might even be a couple buyers out there also, brave souls willing to buy 8 sims all together as is, builds, groups and all. Though what those buyers will do with the realm after purchase is still up for speculation and if we the roleplayers of the realm would get along with them and what they choose is another matter entirely, also up for speculation.

Of course much speculation is pretty useless aside from the purpose of realizing the possibilities. In which case we should continue with plan B just in case.

Plan B is finding either a new sim ready and willing to accept us as is.. or new land which people, members of the realm will buy and others will pay teir on. This has the feature of perhaps being a smaller realm and one that perhaps we might be able to have a say on its features as well as our organizational structure and rules. I know there is at least one, called Northfarthing that is a good possibility as long as it is not rented before we get there.

Plan C is actually the least likely i believe; that Triskele as we know it will be gone and that no one buys a new sim or for some reason we do not move to a new sim ready to take us in.

Should such a condition exist we as a group would try to find an already existing role-play realm and join, trying to integrate ourselves in as smoothly as possible. Of course the last plan would most likely cause the most fragmentation of the original group since not everyone would agree as to which realm we should move to. There are many, many realms out there as i have found in my own search.

Also if such a thing were to happen nearly every one would be forced not only to give up their identity as a Triskilion as well as current offices, but would most likely have to use new huds (for those who have them), new meters and weapons. A mixed blessing, for those who have a lot of lindens invested in safe zone weapons this would be a pain.

I have investigated some smaller realms myself but they have the disadvantage of either not having dragons as a race or they have severe restrictions on dragons, such as no flying during combat or no flying at all. Obviously such realms are out of the question for both myself and the Dragons of Triskele as well as our fae cousins.

One realm.. or rather 2 i have been impressed with for the dragons is Karamoon/Ravenscraig. It is actually 2 realms in physical contact with each other. Travel and role-play between the two is open and unrestricted. Karamoon has a large and rather powerful dragon group while Ravenscraig's dragon group is rather small and just starting to be developed. The Karamoon group does have the advantage of being able to do combat not only in flight but as i understand it, with a rider as well. There is also a dragon riders group which spans both realms.

When i was there it seemed there was people in one of the 2 realms at all times. I have heard that the realms are rather violent though i have not seen any of this myself. I also have heard that though it is kept hidden, there are slaves in the realm, though they are not gorean sims.

There is a rather complex meter and hud where your character can develop the traits you want it to. I have heard that after the third or forth level you have to pay lindens to advance. There is a bit of a disadvantage for the dragons in that you cannot continuously fly. After a while your health starts suffering but it regenerates quickly if you land. This has the interesting consequence in that flying from one place to another is rather tricky if you do not know the realm and do not wish to land among strangers.

Personally if it was just me as an individual i would probably go there. But for the dragons and in fact the whole realm my first choice is to go wherever everyone else goes, hopefully nowhere but our own home of Triskele.
