Thank you Celegail and Deanna for the RP in Runewick with the growing plants tonight. And thank you GM (Slightly?) for making it possible! The offerings to Oldra and Bragon are for you

A note is pinned to the notice board, it is written in an elegant hand: Dear Fellow Citizens, There is a tall, green skinned Orc running around Runewick, who proclaims that he is looking for wizards or pointy ears (since all pointy ears are wizards) because he wishes to ' splash dem wib dah mace ob ...

First I'd like to say that I completely agree with how demotivating it can be if you go IG looking for RP and you are being ignored and see others running around trying to increase their skills. Yes, a greeting or small RP should not be too much of an effort in a multiplayer game. I also have been g...

The teleporter east of Troll’s Bane flashes its blue light as it is activated and out steps a white haired, young elfess, followed only moments later by her dark haired, human companion. The elfess immediately turns her eyes to the grassy land south of the Copper Mountains. " East, east, east, ...

There is an altar for each of the Five elder Gods somewhere on Gobaith. I have also seen a few for younger Gods, but not sure if each of them has his/her own altar.

A white haired Elfess can be seen standing near her depot in the harbour of Tol Vanima. She fills a bag with vegetables and grains, bread, some pieces of parchment and a quill. Then Lhosseth takes the ferry to Gobaith and disappears into the Western woods. ((Gone for a little more than a week. Don't...

About a week after passing the mouth of the Andabar river Lhosseth traverses a hill in the early morning light. She stops her walk as she looks up to the western sky. For the first time since leaving her home seven years ago she beholds the peaks of the nameless mountains, its snow covered summits s...

Lhosseth sits with her bare feet dangling in the water on the bank of the Erenin river, a few hours walk from where the Andabar river joins it from the north. She leans back on her hands and closes her eyes, breathing in the scent of the flowers and a small corpse of trees on the river bank. Her sea...

On the ocean between Illarion and Gobaith a seaworthy ship steadily makes its way to the east over the waves of Tanora. The captain of the ship walks around the deck pretending not to notice the strange passenger that sits on the bow of his ship. Ever since meeting the elegant, white haired Elfess ...

The last two days before her departure Lhosseth spends her time walking around the island of Tol Vanima to say her goodbyes to the trees, the animals and any brothers and sisters she meets. Making a tour of the island she first watches the cows and pigs scurry around near the main hall, happily digg...

@ Alli, you beat me to it, again ;) Yes, the oil and candles burn out and then disappear. Oil lamps can burn rather long, although not an entire Illa night. Torches and candles burn down faster, especially the candles in the static candle holders on the tables. During the night my character sometime...

About the age, my Elfess is not yet 190 years old and is described as very old too. It is the same for every Elf I have ever examined closely. I always assumed all character ages were seen in human age and everyone would understand that since she is an Elfess she always looks timeless, or even young...

First, I agree completely with Shan on this. Please do not cut the trees on Tol Vanima, especially those that we cannot replant. We try to keep Tol Vanima looking as an Elven home, which means surrounded with trees. If we could, we would defend the forest at all times, but we cannot always be ig and...

While Drakon demonstrates to Lhosseth how to walk she watches him attentively. Despite her sadness an amused smile forms on her lips. His movements very much look like... a human trying to walk like an Elf. It is rather endearing to watch really. It cheers her considerable, but her heart hurts as we...

Lhosseth stands in front of the oven south of Vanima’s main hall. Absentmindedly she kneads bread dough into loaves and makes a few notches on the top. Her thoughts wander back to the past few days, after receiving her letter and starting on her preparations. She had found a ship that would take her...

I revisited Noobia today and the first thing I want to know is: Why can't I make snowballs in Noobia!? I also noticed some general and typing errors in the NPC texts. To not clutter up the topic with this, I shall send this in a pm to Estralis. -What do you like about Noobia? ~It is much better than...

Just my limited view from experiences in the last year in Bane and Vanima: Funniest character Who makes you laugh in the game? ~ Seredoc and Elethua Most eloquent character With who do you enjoy RP just because of his eloquent sentences? ~ Nin'Rasyel and Zxay'yseyzr Yerr'keyr'En (Jack) Best womanize...

Walking down the western pier off Tol Vanima, Lhosseth smiles softly as she sees the glittering green stars that fall down around her, farewell fireworks provided by her sister Elethua. Turning one more time to smile and wave at the three figures that came to see her off, Lhosseth's heart sinks as s...

On her walk to the main hall, Lhosseth comes to the conclusion that to make the farewells least painful for all involved, she would do best to tell her brothers and sisters that this will be a short trip and that she would most certainly return within a few months. There is no need to burden them wi...

On a sunny, quiet day in the month of Ronas, a young, white haired, Elfess sits on one of the chairs in the little house near Tol Vanima’s dock. In her hands she holds an unfolded letter. She has already read the words many times and sits now staring into the distance, a few tears run down her cheek...

After softly closing the door to the bedrooms, Lhosseth opens her depot and quickly changes her fine clothes for dry, plain ones. She sighs as she takes her shovel from the depot, thinking of the unhappy task ahead of her. Making her way upstairs, she shivers as she comes into the hall, her thoughts...

A big Thank You for the GM(s) who created the storm yesterday morning (server time). It looked and sounded very good and brought loads of fun and action to our rp. Especially the roasted deer was a nice touch ;) Also many big Thank Yous to Drakon for his wonderful rp in the storm, and for all the gr...

Alex, as I tried to point out to you in-game, in character, that temperature orb conflicts with other temperature messages you get ig. When you enter Eliza's shop the night is described as being cold, no matter what the orb shows, and when trying to plant cabbages or carrots in these months you get ...

As to their locations on the map, the way I understand the two terms from the illa wiki and how Lhosseth uses them: Tol Vanima refers to the entire Elven island and Vanima is the Elven city, indeed not really a city but to me it means the main hall building. When speaking of a political entity, I th...

After wishing Drakon a good rest and dreams of trees, Lhosseth climbs the stairs of Vanima and walks to the altar to make her prayers to the Five in peace. She kneels down and bows her head before she asks the Five in soft Elven words to grant Drakon’s prayer for the return of their forest. She reac...

Thank you to everyone who shared their great rp with Lhosseth in the past week. Special thanks to: Caelianna: for being Lhosseth’s dearest sister. Celdea and Mel: for the fun time swimming in the hot spring. Seredoc: for all the hilarious things he says and does (even if Lhosseth doesn’t understand ...

Wonderful idea! I will be sure to read it as I am actively trying to improve my rp.
I also found that the Advanced Illarion Roleplaying Guide in the Illarion wiki provides a lot of useful tips on how to rp. I hope many (newbies) will read these guides, because: Better rp = more fun!

Lhosseth comes walking into the main hall of Tol Vanima, humming softly to herself. A hint of a smile on her face as she brushes her white hair absent-mindedly with a comb while walking. As she passes one of the notes she barely glances at it and walks on. When she sees another from the corner of he...

Friday evening: Seredoc! thank you for the interesting chat and fun rp.

My few pennies: Most annoying bugs Top 1: Full bag bug , it’s annoying when gathering herbs, always having to be careful not to pick too many, can it not just give a warning? Top 2: Question marks in landscape Top 3: Disappearing of characters , sometimes I can hear them, but not see them. Most inba...
