Dimension Wave   Chapter 32 — The Sea of No Return

“So, any suggestions what we do next?”

The next day. We looked like drowned rats, but at least all of us were still on board. Basically, we had been sucked in by the storm and barely made it out alive. That wasn’t the last of our problems though. Our heading and location were all sorts of messed… the map didn’t help either, as it doesn’t how which direction we faced. And maybe we were so far off track, we couldn’t even use a Tome of Returning. But we did know at least the name of this area: The Sea of No Return.

“Y’all wanna just respawn?” “Alto, you’re suggesting that because we’re Spirits, aren’t you?” “You know I don’t mean it like that, bud.”

It looked like as if what he had just said meant nothing to the bastard. Him, Sheryl, and Tsugumi might not have much of a problem with dying and respawning, but it sure means a lot to us Spirits.

“Let’s keep trekking on if we’re going to die anyway! Since we’re going to get a death penalty either way, why don’t we keep going forwards?”

Tsugumi’s been all smiles since we’ve brought her on board. Maybe that’s how she is, or maybe she’s comfortable opening up to Yamikage and Sheryl and the rest of us. My sister has been so excited about it, I felt like I’d be doing her a disservice if were to even consider anything else.

It’s not like Tsugumi’s really into RPG’s in the first place though. MMO’s, and especially VR ones, always devolves into nothing but combat for her. To be fair, VR games tend to be a little boring with action, but since she’s so good at combat, she’ll plow through them using deliberately underleveled characters. Well, it’s fun just watching her, but only because of how excited she gets.

“… we don’t even know which way’s forwards.” “It’s like we’re trapped in The Labyrinth or The Endless Desert or some other sort of typical RPG dungeon.” “… ‘kay.” “But it’s a little surprising, eh?” “‘Kay.” “But I… I haven’t even said explained anything yet…” “‘Kay.” “Kizuna, you mind interpreting for us?”

We might be used to how talks, but I guess it was a little tough for Alto who’s just met her. So be it, then. Glad to be useful.

“So? What’s surprising?” “Yeah, see, I didn’t believe half—actually, most—of what you said about the sea and stuff, but now I’m beginning to change my mind.” “And why’s that?” “Like you said earlier, being lost in a dungeon would be the typical RPG thing. You know, like you clear the area to get farther, and then at the end, you get some sort of legendary sword or something. Maybe you really are onto something, Kizuna.”

That’s exactly it. From all the games I’ve played, players usually get bogged down by a difficult bit then get rewarded with a key item that’s important to the story. It’d be nice if there were a walkthrough or strategy guide, but since we’re the first ones playing, we’ll have to fumble our way through this Sea of No Return. If we want to cross the ocean, then we have no choice but to head forwards.

    We ended up wandering through the Sea of No Return.

“Kizuna! Yamikage!” “Hmmmph!” “Aye, aye!”

Attacking us were Bladed Mermen and Skyraiders—aquatic and avian monsters, respectively. Defending us were: Shouko, armed with a fan-type derivative weapon in each hand; Tsugumi, with an evolved war scythe; and Yamikage, the one-trick pony.

I didn’t think we’d break a sweat with two former frontliners, but the enemies were tougher than I thought. We were likely facing enemies harder than we should be since the storm had thrown us to who knows where. With little Energy, I was no match for them at the very least.

“Round Dance, the First: Counterstrike!”

Shouko twirled around as if she were really dancing while unfolding both of her fans. It may have been a small AoE attack, but it was enough to hit the enemies up close and farther back.

I suppose “Round Dances” need explaining too… The more these attacks are charged up, the more defense it lowers and the more damage it does, if I recall correctly. They seem to be more offensive than defensive. That being said though, the charge time with Round Dances are much longer compared to Wild Dances, but it also deals a lot more damage. Shouko’s just started using these new skills, but they seem to suit her better. I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but Shouko feels like the type to dodge attacks, rather than to parry them—like how she performed acrobatics when we fought Cerberus.

And not to mention the other day… the day when I bought my light-up lure, I discovered Shouko had yet another talent. She’s just as capable with her left hand as she is with her right—she’s ambidextrous. She can even write with both hands.

Shouko really is hot shit.

Jokes aside though, dual wielding isn’t such a surprise and characters usually fight just as well with either hand in normal video games. Skills, of course, are something you activate then you let the system work out how it goes. It’s a different story for autoattacks in VR games, however. I don’t know a lot about the subject, but I’ve heard that handedness has a lot to do with your brain. Going by that, fighting well with both hands in a VR game would probably need a lot of talent.

I also remember watching some retro TV show saying how left-handedness can be an advantage in things like sports. With VR games being the product of science experiments, it might be safe to assume they’ve counted for handedness too. Well, that’s neither here nor there though. Oh, and by the way, I’m just another right-handed average joe.

“She really blows your expectations away, eh?” “You sure you wanna stick around here, Alto? You’re gonna get killed.” “… be careful.” “So? What kind of expectations are we talking about?” “I meant, like, my first impressions of her.”

I’ll agree that first impressions of Shouko can be a little deceptive. She may seem soft-spoken and well-mannered, but she’s got a violent side to her. Don’t forget that she’s the one who said that offense is the best defense when we were participating in the Dimension Wave. … it’s almost as if she’s from a different generation or something—almost as if she’s a general from Sengoku Japan or the Three Kingdoms of China.

“Oh, I’ve just remembered. Have you been using your Crystal of Mediation, bud?” “… what are you gonna do? Sell it?”

—Stone of Mediation. The ones purchasable at NPC shops grant one bonus effect. On top of that, it also grants something called “Shield Energy” and it works much like an HP gauge like other races have. And, much like an HP gauge, it naturally recovers over time. The only thing about it is that it doesn’t grant that much more health. The weaker ones give about 50 and the best one only gives 1,000 extra points. For balancing’s sake, Stones with low Shield Energy might have a more potent buff and vice versa. I guess it’s up to the player to choose what they want more. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that Yamikage chose one that buffs her dark magic. Unlike her, though, my build is all over the place, so I chose a stone that improves my Masteries.

“Remember back when we first met, like… I don’t know, a month or so ago? Remember that crystallization from before?”

Oh, right. I totally had something like that. It’s lost somewhere in my inventory, but I should still have it somewhere. Let me just look for it real quick. Unidentified, huh?

“There it is. This thing, right?” “You still haven’t identified it yet?” “I mean, I got it before the system was even implemented into the game…”

To be fair, I suppose the system just hasn’t been activated until recently. I’m sure I’ll find more items that haven’t been patched in too.

“Well, how ‘bout I identify it for you then? I’ve checked out a few items from my line of work, so you could say I’m pretty experienced at it.” “Sure, but I’ve got no money on me.”

With the glow in the dark lure, reel, and cooking utensils, I am out dry. These Stones of Mediation might be good, but if they are, then it’s probably too rich for me…

What, you think I’m the type of guy to hound my friends over a few bucks?” “What, would I be wrong?” “Of course! No way I’d ask for money for something like this.” “Sorry for assuming. Please and thank you, then.”

I handed over the unidentified crystal to Alto and he looked at it with a magnifying glass? a loupe? A soft light enveloped the loupe as soon as he muttered “Item identification.” Immediately, the jet black crystal turns into a pale blue.

“Yep. Looks like you fished up something similar to a Stone of Mediation.” “Fishing and gutting are the only two things I do well anyway.”

Maybe I should try equipping it. It’d be more accurate to say I’m transferring over the soul from the Stone though since they’re kinda like holy artifacts.

Beginner’s Crystal of Mediation Shield Energy: 700/700 +2 Fishing Mastery Attracts more attention from nocturnal sea creatures.

Looks like this one gives two bonus effects and it gives a lot of shield. That’s really special. Even the name is different. The ones in shops are called Stones and this one is a Crystal. That’s probably because of the skills and stuff though.

“Honestly, thanks a bunch.” “Any day, my man. You’re always finding ways for me to make money, so don’t even mention it.”

Our sailing adventure was off to a good start.

[astroellipse]

lil late but wtv. turned into sort of a photo shoot post, just a big ol current outfits log

Looks like I’m speedrunning, now. the next update is in 6 days. I’m going to level AST and DRG, probably... I can go back for the others later.

A bedtime story from Norvrandt. “Warrior of Darkness, servant of death, take care of our souls at our dying breath... Let sinners and eaters of sin go with thee, That all may return to the sunless sea.” Servant of death, huh.

OH MY GOD. YOU. YOU CAN HEAL A PERSON IN A CUTSCENE????? I’m playing as AST right now cause the outfit is pretty and EVERY time someone gets hurt in a cutscene you’re doomed to just stand by, but... you can help Alphinaud in this one that’s adorable.

he is helping...  Also. In some lighting he just looks so strange. This is Doran trying his hardest not to combust both of the Chai’s in this instant. I think it’s his lips that’s the issue? Idk it just... flattens his face...

Oh while I remember... here are more pictures........

this one’s just cute, ignore the door interactable in the back :|

And here’s a view of the outfit in full. I need to find a weapon I actually like, this is just the level 70 scaevan weapon... I might add a ring, was thinking a little gold ring with a pear or other white stone would look nice. Might swap out the boots if I find anything better, and I’ll see how the 2B leggings look with this once I get them. the accents on the bridesmaid tights go with the rest of it pretty well, though I don’t care for being able to see the hem.

And while I’m here, I might as well do the others.

Dragoon! Now sort of my canon class.I’m really satisfied with it, i love the boots especially... the texture is good and you can’t see it well here with his feet digging into the ground but they have heels on them. There’s little metal bits poking out of his hair that I like quite a bit, and I think they work even better with this hair than the other.

This one’s a bit goofy but I remembered that you can do battle animations in gpose. I actually forgot that I picked up those boots for this outfit but I like them! I wanted to make the outfit a little more my own, having the hat body piece and shoes from one set was too much, especially with a color so close to the default.

Ah... i was gonna screenshot the outfit I had for SMN but I haven’t fixed its accessories yet. Not that it’s a permanent outfit or anything I just enjoy it. Makes Doran look like a creepy bastard a bit, like some kinda cult leader. And then there’s my GNB glam... I... almost like it. But the pants HAVE to be jet black. they’re purple right now, temporarily, but. I need them to be black. the problem is, even a single pot of jet black dye is 300-400k gil :( Speaking of... i should go check the markets.

hhghghggh I caved. 350k, 367k after the fee. All in all just about as low as it was gonna get without waiting for an idiot to lowball the price. I uh. Forgot to take a pic of the glam though and am now in a cutscene lol

Oh man that was bad. I did the first dungeon as DRG and fucked up so many times, like, not in a way that was detrimental to the group but. I kept pressing v instead of c which. Meant I, several times, interrupted my combo with an aoe attack which is VERY visible and also audible. Incredibly embarrassing.\

Oh god

This uh. Has story implications on a different level. This... is how I resolve the issue of who’s gonna take the reins between Doran and Secret. Secret I’m fairly certain answered with the third choice, haggard as she was. The first choice is the cleanest answer, Doran is willing to take on the responsibility. The second one is... uncomfortable for how serious this is, especially with Ardbert in the back there. But it could certainly say something about Doran’s attitude about all this, even if he’s just putting on a brave face. And the third would lead to him succumbing to the same feelings as Secret... the first choice it is, then.

Doran’s life has been forfeit for so, so long at this point. He was the first to be joined to Secret, hailing from the fifth, his shard bringing the first umbral calamity with the aspect of wind. He’s been joined to that base shard of Azem longer than anyone. Secret at least thought she might have had her own life, before realizing that her perceived amnesia was actually just an absence of memories for having her person be fabricated by Hydaelyn. But Doran... any memory of the lives he lead on the Fifth have been washed away at this point, for as long as it’s been. He didn’t rightly have a will or conscience outside of an incredibly vague awareness until Secret unconsciously willed him to once more. He will do this if it means lightening Secret’s burden.

This has been an incredibly roundabout solution for Secret’s problem. Why continue with what you’re doing? For yourself. Technically. i suppose once Doran catches up to Secret, they’ll go through a little switcheroo. maybe Secret and Doran could be aware of each other, and sapable of some small form of communication. Secret for one will not be pleased with Doran having to make any difficult decisions in the future and will doubtlessly come to regret letting this all happen. i really should uhhhh actually write some of these imagined scenes huh. Much easier to have funny little brain people though.

Aw mannnn I fixed my outfits but entering the Occular launched me into a cutcsene. Hey when do I get to see Emet-Selch again? I forget when he introduces himself but I know he’s around. Probably soon, with the WoL having beat their first light warden. Aw man I love G’raha’s voice acting it’s so good. I don’t even know how to describe it his va just gets his oddly casual but learned speech so good.

Oh here we go. Picture time.

alright this one’s goofy. but you can see the outfit well enough. actually here’s another. ACTUALLY now coming back to this part. I really like this picture above it is very cute..........

Hmmm... not sure if I ever took a pic of his old outfit that was mostly just this. All the pieces were dyed lavender, and the corsage was instead some pastel lillies. That color scheme didn’t look as nice with this hair, though. There was suddenly too much of that dark purple, which had previously been balanced by the shoes. Dark then became the primary color, and orange a main accent instead.

And finally GNB. The lighting messes with it sorta, the shirt and shoes are purple.

I’ll be switching out this one’s weapon, too. His hair sticks right through the shirt’s hood which is unfortunate, but I paid a fortune for this shirt before I changed his hair and I am going to USE it.

Oh jeez it’s 6:30. I’m going to keep playing but end this here. Know that I love Doran and am now at the point where I will cry about him right now, like I promised I’d get to a while ago.

Announcements: 04-21-2017

Site Changes:

Item updates ahoy!   We've been busy bees so read through this, this might affect you!

Game Box has gone from 30 -> 15 Silver to reflect the costs of other kits that were more useful than it. Like mining tools and grooming tools. Cloak has gone from 20 –> 15 to closer match the common gear but not completely Grappling Hook has gone from 70 –> 40 because we thought the price was too high. Archheal got changed to Greater Heal because I realized it's not an AOE spell (Area of Effect). That was my fault. The elemental arrows in Ankou are going to be deleted a month from now mainly because we've combined all of them into "Quiver of Elemental Arrows" This was done on the Earth Arrow so if you have an Earth Arrow congrats you get the Quiver. It has rules so read them. Price jumped from 25 –> 75 to reflect this. Turn in your other arrows for stuff depending on what you used it for.  If you just used the arrow for the bows you get 25 silvers. If you have a post proving you used the arrows to substitute for an enchanted weapon of some sort I'll give you the enchant + the weapon so you don't lose it. This seems fair. I found a few items in the back that I got to add to the shops (they must have accidentally got left out when we were moving stuff/redoing shops): The following items were added to Ye Ol' Sword Shop: Scimitar for 55. The following items were added to Abel's Everything Else: Harp for 50. The following items were added to Quorra's Best: Crown for 150. WEAPON PRICE CHANGES / EXOTIC REWORKS Normal Weapons Bastard Sword  has gone from 130 to 85 Battle Axe has gone from 100 to 75 Battle Fan has gone from 155 to 95 Bokken has gone from 50 to 15 Bo Staff has gone from 10 to 5 Broadsword has gone from 60 to 55 Halberd has gone from 95 to 75 Hand Axe has gone from 30 to 25 Heavy Crossbow has gone from 140 to 120 Hunting Bow has gone from 50 to 25 Katana has gone from 185 to 125 Katar has gone from 75 to 50 Knuckle Dusters have gone from 50 to 25 Mace has gone from 70 to 65 Mage's Staff has gone from 225 to 125 Morningstar has gone from 110 to 85 Rapier has gone from 135 to 85 Sais have gone from 110 to 60 Scythe has gone from 45 to 35 Shuriken has gone from 45 to 30 Sling has gone from 10 to 5 Spiked Chain has gone from 115 to 100 Tanto has gone from 135 to 50 Throwing Knives have gone from 40 to 35 Urumi has gone from 150 to 100 Wand has gone from 70 to 60 War Hammer has gone from 120 to 100 Whip has gone from 45 to 25 Exotic Weapons Price + Descriptions Exotic weapons were meant to be better, fancier, and overall stronger than their normal counterpart. Due to a disagreement among staff we weren't able to make an agreement on what these things were to actual be until recently when a revote was called for. Exotic Weapons come with a Keen Rune, all of them, meaning they are always sharp and never rust no matter how old they are. Each Exotic Weapon does something different but will not be on the level of an actual enchantment(which will be brought up later). Exotic Weapons across the board all cost 300 silver more than their counterparts in the normal items. This is because enchanting fees and materials fees do apply. These weapons are some of the best outside of the actual synth items. To keep this short please visit the shop to see how the exotic weapons have been changed completely. Abedi Chakram has gone from 560 to 330. Arriese Glaive has gone from 450 to 375 Bohari Lance has GONE UP from 275 to 310 Egjoran Poleaxe has gone from 525 to 375 Endapano Longbow has gone from 450 to 325 Harenian Scimitar has gone from 375 to 355 Hazan Szabla has gone from 670 to 360 Highland Claymore has gone from 400 to 385 Irian Mage's Staff has gone from 850 to 425 Ataiyan Katana formally Karithian Katana has gotten a name change + the price has gone from 750 to 425 Mamlak Flail has gone from 600 to 385 Vilpamolan Cutlass has gone from 450 to 385 Baltian War Hammer formally  Zujiuchu War Hammer has been renamed to reflect the Dwarven City and the price has GONE UP from 375 to 400. Starter Packs Rework I've balanced out the Starter Packs before the Bard pack only got 64 silver worth of items while the Mage's pack got over 225 silver worth. All packs now have 300 silver worth of items + the 100 silver you get outright for claiming them. If anyone has any starter pack suggestions you can drop me a pm or find me on discord… or you can post in the Suggestions Forum! I've added the Druid Pack – Common Trousers, Common Tunic, Boots, Mud Ball, Botanical Growth, Bo Staff, Commune with Nature, Parvpora's Sight, Heal, Bag, Herbs, Canteen, and Hunter's Instinct. Ranger Pack: Boots, Cloak, Common Trousers, Common Tunic, Leather Vambraces, Hunter's Instinct, Conjure Food, Predatory Bird, Dagger, Lesser Agility, Parvpora's Sight, Hunting Bow. Bard Pack: Common Tunic, Common Trousers, Boots, Blank Scrolls, Quill and Ink, Sheet Music, Tambourine, Lute, Dagger, Song Bird, Drum, Map, Horn, Flute, Fan, Cap, Mask. Cleric Pack: Bless, Common Robes, Slippers, Joss Sticks, Protections, Heal, Herbs, Beeswax, Tailoring Kit, Canteen, Cure, Backpack, Blanket, and Bo Staff. Paladin Pack: Kite Shield, Common Tunic, Common Trousers, Boots, Broadsword, Strength, Consecrate Weapon, Sunburst, Safe Passage, and Heal. Swashbuckler Pack: Bandana, Common Trousers, Common Tunic, Boots, Dagger, Rapier, Lesser Agility, Spy Glass, Compass, Map, Canteen, Sash, Eye Patch, and Grappling Hook. Mage Pack: Common Robes, Slippers, Fire Ball, Frost Ball, Lightning Ball, Mud Ball, Sunburst, Shadow Cast, Concussive Blast, Wand, Blank Scrolls, Quill and Ink, and Lesser Agility. Warrior Pack: Common Trousers, Common Tunic, Boots, Gloves, Bastard Sword, Strength, Hunter's Instinct, Backpack, Dagger, Broadsword, and Whetstone. Lore CHANGES Deadzones have been changed to Void Storms. Wiki Articles to come on them! We've moved wiki articles to their proper subforums/forums. We've hopefully renamed everything that we changed. Mo'Mey Steppes is getting its language changed to Belarusian. If the wiki isn't reflecting that it will soon! FINALLY THE ALCHEMY SHOP IS HERE! Until we get the server restart so it shows up in the shop index people will have to use the following link –> Karma's Baubles You can view all of the enchantments there. The summer items are getting transferred to the Forge and will use the enchantments to make them! Secondly: Enchantments have rules that follow them. If you have ever played Diablo 3 they let you unsocket gems. You will be able to unsocket these enchants. In the future, we will probably be adding in a future to add the enchantments to the item you want through a system and then you will have to pay silver to unsocket them, just like in Diablo. Rules for Enchantments are as followed and will be added to the rules if they haven't been already: You cannot switch your enchantments out midbattle while you are fighting. We will strike you for powerplay. If you want to run off and hide for minutes to swap them out you can. Armor and Weapons do different things with the enchantments. Armor gets minor resistance of the element the enchantment has. Weapons get minor elemental damage of the element that the enchantment has. If people are caught breaking the rules we ask that you turn them in to an admin or moderator as always. Powerplay isn't fun and no one should have to deal with it. You can transmute ores! You can't go backwards so be careful. Eventually we will add potions and other stuff to the alchemy shop but for now the icon crew is working hard on catching up. The sooner we are caught up the sooner you guys will get new items. So if anyone wants to help out they can!  List can be found here and it is updated automatically while you look at it (Google docs is neat)–>  Icon List to be done  – Drop me a pm here or on discord to let me know if you are working no something so I can mark it off! I'm always finding icons that we need to redo so the number might jump once in a while! FINALLY If you want a refund for items that you have bought and the prices dropped please pm me what the items are. I think I made a thread in Help or Suggestions for it as well. GO THERE! Also look at the list of items from this past time to see if you are owed anything. CHEERS!

Please take a moment and help us welcome Porthyrius (who some of you know as Gypsy) to our Moderator team.  In addition to her role as a deity on Revaliir, Gypsy has been integral in many behind-the-scenes happening as of late, and we are excited to have her as a part of our staff team

Sidhiel, The Living Myth

"My mother once told me a frightening tale. It was about an island of High Elves that thought themselves too mighty. Purebloods would look down on their half-blood brethren like so many others do. They were cruel. There was a god once upon a time that came from the island. He had light hair and dark skin, beautiful like his father had been. However, his father had been human from Iria and this caused distress on the island. He was hated and lived every day in the shadows of those who thought they were better because of their fair folk blood. Verya called his blood and he proved them wrong. HE was better than they were now. The hate continued though despite how he had proved them wrong. For punishment, he decided to take that very pride from them. If the world couldn't see how much better the elves were from the rest of Revaliir wouldn't that bring them down a notch? Verya had come under madness soon and while it had only been a thought before the half-elf god had decided to go through with it. The island became known as Srendnyimor and the world could only remember it as a wasteland. Nothing grew there. No one wanted it. Not one single person. They avoided it like the plague because what good was an island if it had such a barrier reef around it that it would destroy most vessels that came near? There was no purpose. It stayed that way for centuries even after Verya's death. The curse still rooted tightly into the Feeorian magic that the island was made of. I only remember the tales now from my mother. I've lived a long time and I was just a girl when the tree fell… The memories that were stolen are now so vivid. Sidhiel is back but why?" -Seer from the Tower of Edhit. Revaliir staff is proud to pull the glamour out from your eyes. Sidhiel comes to light. Only a half-elf god from Sidhiel could have broken this spell. Adraejen Porthyrius has unknowingly brought back his people, the very people who shunned and cast him out. He saved them. The island has seemingly sprung back to life but… it had always truly been that way. High Elves that had left the island had forgotten their way home or ended up so lost they wound back up in the glamour. Now they are freed but… have they truly learned a thing? Sidhiel, The Living Myth We will have wiki articles on this as soon as possible. We didn't want to jam all the lore into the description. We'll make sure to let everyone know when the wiki articles are up!

Welcome to Varaz!

On the edge of the Haza Savanna exists a wasteland of wonder, danger, and excitement. Do you dare enter Varaz? The Arcane Circle tells your blood to flee but your heart says to go in for the sake of adventure and knowledge. Varaz Area Description Thank you Silver Star for submitting this area to us! We were utterly in love with it and can't wait to see what others have in store!

Welcome to Komiteia

A new place has been introduced today: Komiteia, the grand nation of the Halfling race. This land was once plentiful and a grand area where others could come study the architecture and admire the wealth. When the Parvpora World Tree Verya fell the Halfling race took the brunt of it all. The main branches came crashing down into their beloved city of Emiria. The corruption that had driven the gods of Parvpora mad and led to the death of Verya slowly crept out and started to spread. The Halflings rebuilt but nothing could ever be as grand as that first city. Their history and wealth vanished… and they found themselves rebuilding and regaining their standing in the world. So come visit them! Have a drink in Eden or sleep in Wyndham to experience the softest pillows. OR get adventurous and see what lies in the ancient lands of Emiria that nature has retaken and the corruption has stolen. Komiteia Description This will take the place of Siva Zem. I am working on the redo do of the map!

Updates:

-  The Alchemy/Synth system is now fully up and running and people should be getting drops now!

Two New Deities Announced:

We debated for a good hour or more and only two choices remained when we were done. Before we go on to announce the chosen for these spots we decided to go into a bit about choosing them. First: We didn’t choose them out of favoritism. Each has the skills we look for. One of them we shot down multiple times and told them to keep applying and how they could improve. Second: We wanted you to make sure that you knew that *I* wasn’t biased in this. You’ll understand when I get to the results. I was most critical of both of our choices and tore them apart worse than the other two Triune members. If anything these choices had it worse than the other applicants making the scales tip in the other applicants' favors. Now we get on to the god selection: Our new gods are: Porthyrius, the Keeper of the Keys and Secrets of Knowledge and the Arcane, The One with the Silvered Tongue.   Xunatar,  the Chaosweaver and the Lord of Lies. Gypsy(Porthyrius), does an enormous amount of things for Revaliir behind the scenes. She not only draws for us but she has come up with many ideas for the site that we’ve implemented. Every project we’ve ever started she’s joined. Her activity level is second to none (Well maybe myself). She is friendly and helpful to all who come to her. We were worried about announcing Gypsy as well but we believe that her activity and devotion to the site speaks for itself. Brandon(Xunatar), is a moderator on our site. He has been with Revaliir since the June before we opened our doors. He was/is some of the driving force for things we do. He helps all and will rp with anyone. He is the ideal Moderator but we weren’t looking for a moderator when we chose him for this spot. His lore weaving is some of the best I’ve seen(That we have seen). He also have a high activity count, which we count. He can also rp with anyone easily. This is not the first time he’s applied but he has worked on the things we told him too. We’re glad to have him not only as our moderator but as what we hope to be a long standing deity. When selecting him I sat in a different room and he didn’t know a thing about what I was doing. He didn’t know and still doesn’t know that we picked him. This will be the first he’s heard of it despite us living together. Brandon’s selection is the hardest because we worried people would think I was being biased. However, I am only one person out of three and easily out voted. The others saw what I did. An evolving roleplayer who has earned his right to become a deity ontop of his job as moderator. He has an even harder job as I’ll be over him making sure that he gets his stuff done. By no means does he have this easy, if anything he has it harder. I don’t like our deities slacking no matter who they are. Revaliir is our baby and we wouldn’t put any ol person as a deity just because we like them as a person. Overall I owed this explanation to no one. As I hoped that you all would trust in my judgment and trust me to be fair. I’m doing this because I want to be transparent with everyone. Cello and Whitney agreed with that line of thought and we thought this was best. That being said anyone who gets caught ranting to members in the discord or on skype (anywhere it gets reported from) will be issued a warning. We’ve had problems in the past with people thinking we promote favoritism. We don’t. I certainly do not. As I said before those I choose are what I believe to be the ideal person for roleplaying and being an active leader in our community. That’s all I want for this site. However, their applications have to make sense and I won’t sit with rose-colored glasses. I’ve ripped apart their applications down to the single most elusive detail. All in all these two have earned their spots and I’ll be happy to talk to whoever didn’t get the spots and help them with their applications if they want for the future (keep in mind the applications might change for the next round whenever we have them). Brandon’s moderator position will be moved to Xunatar following this announcement. This rounds out the conclave to 6. Unless we see a higher number of people on the site or someone falls this will be the last god selection for a while. Also this interestingly enough rounds out the conclave: 2 good, 2 neutral, and 2 evil.
