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.

The end... maybe
Well i have no idea how things can get so totally screwed up. There was this life and death tug of war it seems over the realm and right now I have no idea who to believe.
The buyer backed out. That is certain. One story says she is a cooperate pirate, a headhunter and was only out to take the people.. the groups. Another story is that she truly believed our realm was about to die and generously offered her sims for free if the people would come to her sims and settle to pay tier. She would give every race a sim and have free room for the guilds.
There was a meeting where some bad things were said of the buyer and someone took a log and gave that log to her. Now she will have nothing to do with us... or role-play or even anything medieval.
Who is right.. who can i trust? There is no proof that one is right and the other wrong that i can see. I expressed doubts in that meeting that i hadn't before.. Things didnt seem right to me..there was other partners we had not met.. that seemed an obvious source of uncertainty. Why was she cutting back and so very concerned about the money when she had said how very rich she was in the beginning.. but we didn't want to mess up the sale by asking her. They seemed to be legitimate questions to me... *sighs* These are things she read and things others said that were much crueler. I am surprised i am still on her friends list. I expect to be taken off any time.
Now we are being asked to commit to the realm. We are being asked if we will stay there to make the new plan work.
How can i make that kind of decision when i don't know what to base it on? I gave my word that i would stay. But i have lost several friends tonight.. and i am totally heartsick. I was never going to get in this kind of situation again.. and yet here i am.
My mind says its time to go back and deal with things in the real world since this is even more painful than reality. I just really want to disassociate myself with all the hateful things going on. I don't want to be a part of it anymore but i gave my word.
What will the wise dragon do? I have no idea. But i know she would probably fly away from all the accusations flying back and forth. But really there is nowhere to fly to.
As much as i can remember i have been taking my prims back. I got the mer sim, and the dark realm tonight... the quest cave that i had dreamed of so much.. Its all on a water sim and thus is slated to be dropped. Then i started with the old clerics guild. All the quest objects i had made for the clerics quest and the building that Wren, Alphonsus and i had done to make the little infirmary. *sighs* Who could have seen it would end this way?
I am half tempted to just take everything of mine, all the stuff on the weyr too. Just to leave the place clean of me and go somewhere to make a new start. In any event i wont be seen by those people who hate me now. I don't want to be seen by anyone.

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.

Did you ever feel like such a total idiot. Perhaps its the upset of all that is going on now.. that which i don't think it is appropriate to speak of here. Just when things seemed to be working out... I am after 10 months nearly finished with all the quests, and all the dragon clans have their leaders and i finally have a second.
It seems things are falling apart, but we shall see. Perhaps not all is lost.
Anyway aside from the almost accomplishments, not much has been happening with the dragons. The creatures most call teardrops are still about, and hopefully will be eliminated by the end of the month, but we shall see about that. We have some new dragons in the realm and then there is the harvest festival also to be celebrated with many exciting things that will be happening.

Bored
So the realm is nearly empty and those who are there are couples, people who are together working on things, discussing things that are not my business or possibly at parties that i have left in the hopes of getting something done. Even though there are people on my friends list who are online, there is literally nothing to talk about. And here i did have all evening to be here.
Am i getting burned out? Hard to say. I am not in a very creative mood right now. Perhaps i should have stayed at the parties i was at.. but i was not really being talked to by many of the people there anyway.. even old friends were not talking to me and it was not as much fun. By now they are probably over anyway.
I guess i could go shopping or exploring or just play Onigokko just for the hell of it. I should have played that at the parties..
*stares at a line of apples*
Edit: Well the evening did turn out to be much more interesting. Pak called me and we ended up playing a lively game of dragon tag. Then i noticed a gathering near the Citadel of Light and on my way over an old friend from Everwind called up to me. She was back (for now) though as a Mer instead of a dragon, so we ended up talking.
It seems much is happening in the realm. Bri said his goodbyes and left, and while flying around i noticed people who were gone from their land and others who had taken over land. It seems a Mer city is springing up.
I suppose from time to time those doldrums hit and the thing to do is just ride them through.

Thanks
... to the King for the link:
http://darkrealmoftrsikele.blip.tv/#1296488
Though its supposed to say Dark Realm of Triskele. By the way, the crown like structure that is the highest on the mountain with the light in the middle is a modified part of the dragon altar i created for the realm. Unfortunately in this video you cant really see most of the work that i did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edit: Hehehehe and in all fairness i will post the link to my first realm;

Fire Quest
I am happy to congratulate Pak Haedong and Slade Sommerfleck, our Mystic of Dragons and Elder of the Moon as having completed the fire quest along with members of the fighters guild.
Now there are several more dragons that are eligible to do the fire quest, so we wait for more fighters to also be ready for that test.
Also after long thinking it over i have also made Illuvyan Benelli the new Elder of the Sun. We only await the ceremony on Thursday to make it official.
I also wish to welcome Daemynn Felisimo back to the clerics. She who had done much for our guild has returned to us as a full cleric, a person sorely needed in the guild since only Cora and myself were the only full clerics previously.
This is an exciting time for Triskele. There is a grave threat to the realm but also plans for a treaty that will unify all the guilds and races. Even the clerics are to have their role and i suspect the mages will as well.
As race leader of the dragons i need to record the strengths of my race so that we may be utilized to greatest advantage in the upcoming battles.
In the mean time i do need to talk with Pak to get working on the Air quest, something i suspect might be a bit more difficult than the others.
