Some Questions

Triskele is gone. The one sim may still be there but the realm as we know is has sunk into the sea. Or rather some of the sims have gone to Sylvhara and Arda. This will be obvious to anyone familiar with the maps of Triskele if they look to the east of Menegroth and the dark realm of Arda (i cant ever remember its name). I have been told that the landmarks for those sims still work by the way.

Its been almost 11 months for me in Triskele. It is harder this time. In Everwind there was not so much of me involved. This time there were quests and items i had built all over the place. I had a lot of time and effort in this. Of course it really is nobodies fault. I guess i was just depressed to see it essentially stripped, not by the owner but by the people who used to be there. And yes i know, i have taken my stuff too.

The search for a new home went well. We visited realms, met, narrowed the choices down and then visited again and chose Sylvhara. Some people did not hear what we were doing until the end and there were some hurt feelings i had to apologize for.

Sylvhara does seem the best choice as we have been told that we can move there and keep our groups essentially as is. The Queen has been most welcoming and accommodating to us all along.

I do worry though. Some have said we will just be absorbed by the existing groups there. Some of our people do not seem to really care but others do. I have also noticed some major discrepancies with the rules too. Many questions remain, hopefully to be answered in the next council meeting.

The main one is, will role play in the realm be controlled by the Alliance rules?

Another question; Will combat be allowed within Sylvhara that does not include intersim combat?

I do need to talk to the person who can clarify these things for me.

Or hopefully they will be cleared up in the meeting.

Hmmmm.... I have concerns as well. The meeting seemed to answer the questions on the surface, but there are still issues which need resolution. For instance, are the Triskele Guilds needed at all? In Triskele Guild membership was required, but in Sylvhara there already exists clerics and mages and fighters - why would they want to join a guild? Indeed, what reason is there now for our very Guild members to remain in the guild if they can quit and still gain rank through the Silver Legion and the Power of the Light? Should we approach Queen Comet and recommend that Silver Legion ranks NOT be valid for roleplay? At this point, that is the only solution that I see.. The only way to justify the further existence of our Guilds.

hmmm good question. I left Ivy a copy of our old rules. Let me think about it. Thats the problem with spell fire.. anyone can have it and anyone can buy the magic.

Of course i see the Silver legion as entirely different from the realm role-play. The Silver legion is a multi-sim organization that all the sims who belong to it must obey. I think the realm will still need the guilds for the realm role-play. Perhaps the races will need to require a guild membership to advance. Not sure.

The way it was before, the spells and such were not valid in the role-play unless the person belonged to a guild. We need to think this through and then maybe approach the queen about it.

It sounds like this is a merging of two different cultures, and that will be a challenge, like any merger. Sometimes the best is to think of a new shared venture/creation and something new can be born...

Whatever happens, I wish you ever blessing my dear friend Malakyte...
