Ye Elde Deloria Threade rhymes, but it can keep this title.
I HAVE MY OWN THREAD!! :D
May we (yes, I'm an ego :P) live long, indeed!
Thank you so much. :D :D :D :D
All hail her majesty, Deloria! :pleased: (Or whoever is in charge here!)
Let's just keep out the wizards and witches, shall we! We don't want Mannanan to start coming in, do we. We certainly don't want to have that hag felisha, do we! She'd zap Deloria into pieces of dust!
Cool.

No problem. I couldst changeth the title if you wouldst giveth me such power. (Notice that I use "you," not "thou," which is too familiar to be used around royalty. XD)
Nice threade. XD
Congratulations Deloria! :D

Indeed, but my loyal subjects such as yourselves would surely protect me. :P
Manannan is disposed of, however. He is to be the court's mascot.
But who is this Felisha? No matter. If she should dare to ever threaten this threade, I shall allign myself with the faeries and attack!
I would go into battle personally for this victory! :P
Alas and alack! Oh woeful day! I hath not the power to change the threade's title after all, milady! This, methinks, requireth the authority of a moderator!
(Teehee. It's like a Renaissance Faire in here.)
The name has been changed. :P

Tis alright. I shall grant you a position at court, regardless.
The maine thing being, that the title has changed.
Speaking of the latter:
To show our gratitude in doing so I shall make thee regal; Ye may kneel Night of Louisiana. I thanketh thee. For that, thou shalt henceforth be Knight Night of Louisiana. :P
Ye may rise Sir Night of Louisiana
Baroness Blues of Moody, for our first proclamation of work, we have decided to host a party. It being thar duty to make it known. Wilt thou accept this quest?
Aye, milady. I shall gather together the noblest knights and ladies of the realm to accomplish such feats of chivalry and merriment. *brandishes a sword* Come forth, ye sons and daughters of valour!
(Pssst: So, what exactly does a baroness do? I have a barony of peasants, but so what? XD Eh, maybe I'll make myself a lady knight like Britomart in The Faerie Queene.)
Thou art the peasants sovereign liege and are regal. Is that not enough? Thou hadst also a position at court and servents. If that is not enough then tell me what you would have me do to keep this court and your person in merriment.
I thanketh thee for taking on thy quest with such diligence and enthusiasm.
Thou shalt follow my orders alone and hold tournaments, balls and such. Our father, King Henry VIII, took these duties upon himself and made himself into a laughingstock throughout the kingdom, anulluing this marriage and killing that woman.. :P We shouldn't wish this to happen to ourselves, therefore we employ you. We also ask you to go on quests for ourselves. Thou shalt be a hero in this kingdom and quite likely, suceed myself on the throne.:P
Doth thou haveth to talketh in elde englishe?
Dude...this place is like, totally gnarly, man! 8)
Er...I mean...thou...no...thy place of residence is indeed most...good? :sweating:
*runs*
XD Catch him! No one turns their back to their sovreign leige! Our residence is goodly and wonderful and beauteous. We shall thank him for his compliment once he has apologized.
And A3P, we do apologize, but it were stated in the title of this threade that proper language is required. Wouldst thou like to come and converse here by the fire? But yes, I'm afraid I must. For I have a personality disorder and sometimes think We are Eliazbeth Tudor. :P
I thought I was a knight before... *ignores the technicality*
Thanks for granting me knighthood, and does this mean I get land? XD
It does. Thou shat also become farmers and peasants. And though thou wert a knight of Jarada before, now thou art a knight of Elden England. :P
is it a rule that we have to talk in "elde english" *twitches*
Ye knave! Didst thou not read the posts previous? Verily, I say unto thee, thou shouldst use thy schooling and thy native talents, for thou art capable of greater perception.
Afore me, I beg your pardon, good Pacman, for I speak only in jest. I think it not presumptuous to say that our good sovereign Lady Deloria would instruct you to speak and write as best as you can in Elde English if you desire to stay.
I greet thee your majesty Deloria! I have ridden the length and breadth of the land, since the snows of winter covered thy kingdom, in hopes to join thou as a servant in thy court. I am Farquhar, noble knight, traveling from the relatively unknown lands of Fharrin.
*Draws sword, and kneels.*
Here do I swear fealty and service to thy kingdom, in peace or war, in living or dying. From this hour henceforth, until my queen release me, or death take me.
Dost thou accept my service?
*aproaches lady deloria's castle* lady deloria. *gets off of horse* i am the wizard merlin of the kingdom of fantasia. i cometh with a quest. i must seek for the holy gail. i needeth your assistance on this quest. if you decideth to help me, i will be eternally in your debt.

Thy queen accepts. We are a flutter with thanks and good grace to thee, noble knight. And We accept thy service with the same grace it was given. We must caution thee however, to not leave the kingdom for long at times; Mercenaries are a plenty.

But of course he be! For what other ploy could he employ, were he not one of Volhaul's? ::) :P
Thou coward, Vohaul is! Lady Deloria, I offer thine assistance to thee, for any such quest you so desireth. Milady, I ameth in youreth powereth. (Did I use too much "eths"? I think I dideth...)
Felisha is a vial witch, she is. She is a vial creature, and thine are very couargous to stand to such a vial creature. Deloria, Milady, I am your knight, your servant, your golf ball cleaner. Whatever you desireth me to beeth, I shall, milady! (Just think of me as a Substitute teacher that fills in almost every posistion imaginable, except that I'm not a sub!) I am forever in thine debt, kind Queen of thine noble kingdom! :P
I thanketh thee for putting thyself at mine assistance in whatever I may need of thou.
Indeed, he may be a coward. We have a quest for thee. Ride forth at sunrise at set out to find the one man that has before defeated Volhaul, Roger Wilco! We understand that he is currently occupied with the production of Space Quest 7, but mayhap thou could persuade him to kill off one last insurance salesman, first!
Aye, the goode Roger Wilco, Knight of the Stars! What the man lacks in wit, he makes up for in Valour and faire Countenance. By my fay, friende, you shall find a strong Ally in Wilco indeed. And, if perchance you find this Wilco in a state of goode humour, do grant me a small favour by giving me audience with him.
Ah, I do forget meself. Goode folke, I entreateth thee to come forth and assist thy Baroness in her quest for Royale Merriment! I cannot falter in this noble Commission with thee at my side!
Sir Jafar, would you be willing to join me? The Land is in dire need of a maypole, and you, methinks, are more than worthy of journeying with me into yonder Forest to fell a Mighty Oak. I wouldst go myself, but such Woods are full of peril which no one, Woman or Man, may face alone.
I shallst go and find thine Roger Wilco. Ti's my sacred duty as Dark-Daventry, the protector of the realm of my supperiors. I am a wanderer from that land. I travel from land to land to find the unknowneth. I am the top knight of his majesty, King Graham. I shallst do as thou commands of me, your royal highness, Deloria! I thinketh it well that Wilco disposeth of anothereth salesman. I shall do so on your commands, your royal highness of TSL! Farewell, milady! I shallst returneth upon the nighteth!

But certainly should thou have an audience. We ourselves are always slightly intimidated by heroes, but if it shouldn't bother thyself, then thou should be granted one readily.
And We should think it a goode idea, for if Sir Jafar went with thee, thou shalt be safe, thou art my only advisor and should you fall prey to danger, We should have no one to consulteth on dire matteres such as these.
And Dark-Daventry shall accompany thyselves aswell. We thinketh, however, not so grande of ourselves and are content with the title of "Your Grace", however, the knight of Dark-Daventry may call me as he wishes so long as it does not insult mineself, nor mine kingdom.
I am honored, milady! I shallst accompany them with great dilliegence. I asure you, milady, that I would never insult thy, such a queen as fitting as you. You are the only queen I see as ruler of this threade at any time. Anyone else shallst be consideredeth a mockery of the Crowne. I bit thine goodbye for the moment! I shallst return upon the nighteth. Farewell, your majesty!

Sureth. :P
i am the wizard merlin V and i was mistaken. the holy gail haseth been found, while the foly mail still remains hidden.
Art thou wearing mustache-nosed spectacles? ???
no, thou isth mistaken. that waseth mirlin IV.
Indeed? Thou still hath thepeculiar look of an insurance salesman...
We are afraid, we may not be of service, for we have little knowledge of such matters. Thou mightest have consulted Arthur, but he were dead since the sixth century...
As for Moodyblues, Jafar, and Dark Daventry:
Very well. I thanketh the noble Jarada Knight, Jafar and the diligent Dark Daventry. My thanks go also to Moodyblues, for whom without I shouldn't hath this threade. Whilst thou art all on this journey, this quest, We shall be on progress.
Fare thee well, kind subjects.
*runs away because his disguise has been removed* i willeth get you!!
Guards! Catch the traitor! He shall get away! Seal off all other exits and raise the portcullis, to prevent him from escaping by any other means than the front gate! If he leaves these castle grounds alive, we should all be doomed!
Moodyblues, We require your assistance to ensure that the traitor cannot get away. Thou shalt be in charge of him. Is this in any way unacceptable to thee?
You mean "lower the portcullis, correct? :P
Quote from: Jafar on March 07, 2006, 07:37:50 PM
You mean "lower the portcullis, correct? :P
Not in the least. Our archers and soldiers from the royal guard are waiting outside to ambush. Therefore we need to get him outside the castle. It is not just nor good to have an arrest take place within the castle walls.
Ah! Thou foule Villain! Thou wretched Fiend! Turn and draw, if thou be a man! I am in all respects a docile Lamb, but thou hast awakened the roaring Lion!
Nay, nay, I repent of such temper; surrender unto me, poor vagabond, and I shall grant thee mercy. And, by Her Grace's leave, I may even bestow upon thee fellowship. This is thy Moment of Grace, O Wretched Man, thy Chance of Redemption! Turn now from the Path thou hast tread so long!
We wish thee the most luck in dealing with the fiend. If thou should indeed offer him fellowship, We advise thee to be careful, Volhaul has since taken to murdering any one that did not suit his plans. I am fairly certain that he means to corrupt thee.
Shallst my services be needed in any such way? I am an expert on Vohaul. I have encountered him once before on my journeys. I wish to be of service in any wayeth possible.
Once more, We offer our gratitude. Thou shall be rewarded. Please, taketh leave and go to Volhaul. Once there, We should like thou to defeat him.
My Queen Deloria, hast thou need of an enchantress en thy noble court?
Fear not, milady; if his heart be treacherous, he shall soon find that the hand that dealeth Mercy deals Justice in double.
Your Grace, I thank you for allowing this Goode Knight to assist me, for he seems a noble and able lord.
Come, Sir Daventry D'arc, let us confront this foe. What sayest thee to my proposal, Poore Wanderer? Choose thy words with care, for thou standest on the threshold of a Dark Cell.

And though I fear not for mine own life, it is but trvial compared to mine kingdom, I fear for this foe's, for should he die at the hands of Volhaul after he provideth the crutial information, there should be no tomorrow for any.
Thy optimism giveth us courage, though. We are in thy debt three-fold. Pray, tell us what it is thou could want of this fiend?
And further, I shoudl not dream of letting someone go into battle alone, and indeed, he doth seem able.
Forgive me, Your Grace - it is true that I too often trust the blood of Youth and not the eyes of Matronhood. Still, I cannot help but think that this Pacman may yet be of use, for he is a traveller, and no doubt knows the lay of yonder Forest better than any man of scholarship. Furthermore, I am as much a gentlewoman as a warrior, and so I deem it beneath me to wield the sword without first offering the olive branch.
I must agree with the Baroness, your majesty. Though this deceitful knave may be under the employ of thy enemies, if he were to join us under thy banner, we would surely have an advantage over the foul forces that seek to dethrone thee, and corrupt thy glorious kingdom.
Indeed. So be it. He may join us if he choose. And Moodyblues, he forests shall be treacherous, Farquhar may accompany thee.
My lady Majesty,
*bows low*
I am but a humble court jester who hath stumbled upon thy great kingdom. I have traveled for many a day and beg leave to sit awhile and rest in this glorious palace.
Certainly. We hath chamber a many and food, if thou wishes some thing to quench the hunger and thirst.
We should like thee to preform to night, and possibly, if we find thy act amusing, become court jester, for we still are lackign that position. What say ye?
My Lady Queen, you do me great honour, and I will gladly perform this eve and if the performance pleases her majesty I will take the position so generously offered until such a time as the east wind doth carry me away.
Very well, then. Moodyblues, please go forth and tell the lords and ladies of the court that a celebration shall be held hence eve, and they should do well to attend.
Milady! I have returned victorious from my battle. It took only common sense, which thine Vohaul has none of. I have defeated thee, and wish to join in the celebrations! I shallst stay in thine kingdom a while longer, if that is alright with yee. I have no hurry to return to the noble kingdom of Daventry. Infact. his majesty, Sir Graham, has asked for me to findeth a friendly kingdom nearby to share ties with. Do yee accept thine proposal, Your Grace? If yee accepts, I shall return to Daventry by next week. I shall be in thine house in the forest beyond here. I have made mineself a house with magical bariers around it, to protect me from the vial witch Hagatha. I shallst returneth when thou hath given thine a reply! Farewell, milady!
We bid ye to stay, thou shalt find hospitality within this kingdom.
An alliance with Daventry,...We hath never considered that option...Still, worketh negatively it could not, therefore, We accept his Grace's King Graham's proposal. Farquhar, shall it please thee to acteth as our diplomatic councelor? If so, please, ready the papers for the kingdom of Davantry to allign with ours, immediately.
Seeing that the mysterious stranger hath either gone mute or fallen deade, I shall gladly, for now, leave combat for a gentler exercise, milady.
Ye lords and ladies, serfs and dames,
'Tis time, my friends, for merry games!
A Frolick our goode Queene doth hold
For lad and lass, for young and old!
Good Peasants, set aside thy toil;
Such gentle stewards of the soil
Shouldst leave, at least, a day or two
Aside to laugh and play and woo.
Faire Nobles, quit your crowne and throne
And sit beside a nobler One.
T'would be mighty detriment
If you spurned off such merriment.
To rich and poore our Queene extends
Her hands, to make thee all her friends.
And so, good subjects, help us raise
A Frolick worthy to be praised!
I would be honoured to acteth as the diplomatic councilor to thy kingdom your majesty. I shall ready the papers at once!
Thank you, milady! His majesty King Graham shall be very pleased to hear this! I look forward to the entertainment! And I thanketh thee for thou's most generous offer of hospitality! I am most sure King Graham will be very pleased with our new relations! We are now allies, and are to fight together in war, if such times occur. I hopeth that these times shallst not cometh, but if need be, I shallst ready the Daventry Troops. Good day for now, milady!

I hath returned, milady! Never accept insurance from a wandering traverler. They never tell the truth! If you want insurance, go to a real insurance agency! I believe Daventry has one... I shall wonder the market, milady! If you need me, just holler!

We shall do that, so soon as we need ye.

I hath seen in mine purple flame thy reflection fallen and in ashes. The great Queen Airolede hath, like th' vixen on th' hunt, taken wind of thy fair kingdom, her prey. Make haste, for her army is only two days asunder.
In that case, We require thy asistance to hold off the enemy and make thy maigcal portal, through which some can escape.
Dark-Daventry, Thou may leave through Lollotte's postal and warn Daventry, make haste. We shall awaite them before battle on the morrow. Doth thou understand?

I have done so, your grace! Expect Sir Graham to arrive shortly to your domain. He will have the Magic shield with him, which should help us win. I shall be searching for a powerful friend of mine. I shall search for Lord Azrial. I am a friend of his, who may be able to summon some zombies and skeletons to help us. I expect to hear from Commander Skeleton soon. I wish thee farewell, milady!
Excellent Dark-Daventry!
However, art thou quite sure about undead ones partaking in this...?
How are We to know they shan't terrorize our kingdom thereafter?
You do have a point, milady. I shall cancel the order at once! Sir Graham should arrive in around three days time.

Never fear, just Queen, I can erect a shield of pure fire that may hold them off for another day. I cannot guarantee complete security of thy noble knights for more than a day, because the enemy's enchantress is the only in this universe that may hold powers equal to mine own.
Milady, do you require my services? While I be but a novice in close combat, I am an experienced marksmaid and would be quite willing to command a legion of archers in defence of the castle.

Very well. Thou shalt have the best protection We can offer, We appreciate it greatly. As for whether it may or shall be, it shall be, recent events with the usurper/stranger have proven that.
I have contacted graham, and he is calling on the genie from the Green Isles to transport him here. He should be here in a matter of hours, milady. I have been training with a wizard for the past year, and may be able to cast a few spells. I am one of a lucky few gifted with the ability to pass through time at will. Even my master can not do anything of the sort. I am able to control the flow of time, and may be able to change the affects of the war, if they are negative. Just say the word, milady, and I shall journey to the future to see the outcome. Goodday, milady!

Very well, will We live to see the dawn in our own castle in our own kingdom?
I have traveled to the future, and according to what I've seen, you will but barely survive. You survive with the help from King Graham and his magic shield. But he is delayed from a massive storm. The genie is badly injured, and they aren't rescued immiedtly. But there is a way to change that. I can travel to their location, and pick them up. I can transport them through the timeline to our location. But only if thine approves, milady.
Time travel? Is it so easily done, Daventry D'arc? I find it curious that, after travelling through time, you have not found youself faced with what the Viennese would call a doppelganger. Perhaps it is of no consequence, but methinks you should beware, lest your double turn to the side of the enemy.
I thank you, Your Grace, for granting my request to serve our kingdom. I shall assemble a legion of the finest archers of the land and arm them at once.

Tis of no consequence. We only hope thy aim is as true as thy will and manner.
Lollotte, We take it thou hath seen the same as Daventry D'arc? If not, what hath thou seen and how far away are the enemy?
EDIT: Battle strategies: Baroness of Moody, We would advise attacking from the hills, not the valley or river.
Lollotte, We require thy asistance: Thou shalt tend to the wounded and possibly enter battle thyself if things should get fierce.
Farquhar, thou shalt stage an ambush, should they stop for water by the river.
The army does not seem to be more than a few thousand strong, but they greatly outnumber us all the same. Take as many captive as possible, We refuse to promote torture, however We will wish to question these soldiers therefore, kill only on pain of death.
Please tell me immediately, if something should go wrong. The weapons are at the barracks, and are all in the best of condition,
Farquhar, thou shalt lead with a double-handed broadsword and be
on horseback. Thy soldiers shall have these glories, also.
Baroness, thou shalt have the longbow or the Tsuriani crossbow, what is thy preferance? Thy army shall have the same.
If anyone could be of service, please tell me, good people.
We thank ye from our hearts for sacrifing thy lives for this good kingdom. Baroness, Farquhar, should there be any questions?

Time travel is a very complicated technique. Only a select few, descendants of merlin, to be exact, are given these powers. I am not exactly a direct descendant, thus my powers are limited, but I atleast have time travel powers. I am able to pause and fastforward, as well as rewind time, if thou wishes it of me. Forgive me, but I am at a loss to the word Doppleganger. The word is not of my knowledge. After all, I am still in school. I am on a leave of absence from the Daventry School house for the moment. I am due to return about a month from today. But never the less, I shall beware, and shallst keep my guard up, just in case.

"Doppelgänger" is German and hath the meaning of Thy Double.
The Baroness enquired if thou did not make a future "version" of thyself and cautioned ye, for had thou, it could join the enemy.
The longbow, if it pleases Your Grace. It is my belief that the crossbow is a weapon crafted for one who possesses neither courage nor skill. Aye, some call me a fool, but I would rather have but One with a longbow than a Thousand with such unworthy weapons, for these poor souls, hastily outfitted with crossbows, would surely flee from Battle.
I shall assemble my troops upon the crests of the hills and await the delivery of weaponry, Goode Lady. Or would you prefer that I wait in the castle until the bows arrive?
Do take care, Daventry D'arc, for you are a worthy, valourous knight, and the kingdom would suffer much if you were slain. Indeed, let no man say that any of you are unworthy! I invoke the intercession of Michael, the Patron of Warriors, for you all, and hope to see you all, whole in body and spirit, when this fray is done.

Of course. We must agree, We personally have always favoured the longbow. Thou may wait in the castle, whilst the weapons are delivered. We expect the battle to start at noon on the morrow.
Mayhap, We must discuss weapons and battle-tactics with thee, for thou seems able and wise. When fencing, for instance, We always prefer the florette to the normal saber. Why is thy oppinion on this mattre?
As I said, Milady, I am more skilled with the bow than the blade. Please enlighten me, that I may pass this knowledge on to my troops.
The crossbow is the weapon of cowards, one needs but petty aim and the victim is dead. However, with the longbow, one needs skill, and one can accomplish much more. Also, the aim of the longbow is generally better, as the crossbow has far too many faults, provideth it is in perfect condition and possesses aero-dynamicacy.
As for the Sabre, it is far too heavy to wield and in fencing one needs to be extroardinarily quick, this cannot be accomplished with a faulty weapon. The florette is light and balanced. It is also smaller than the sabre should one be at a disadvantage one can parade* it and "six" (french) shall be acquired. (I take fencing lessons :P)
*parade meaning block in the tongue of the sport.
Yet, We are but a mere Queene, everything We know is from lessons and it should be different in actual field combat.
Your Majesty, I shall hasten to set out with the soldiers towards the river, lest thy enemies cross it before we have a chance to set the ambush properly.
I would gladly take the double-handed broadsword thou hath offered me into battle, but if it is all the same to thee I would prefer to wield the weapon I hath carried with me through many past battles. It is a longsword, a blade that can be wielded both one handed or two handed.
It hast been in my family for generations, starting with my ancestor Lord Kaladorn Wynsdor.
Whichever weapon shall help us win the battle, shall be thine.

Ah. I have been cloaked the time being. I have seen myself in the future, but it is on a gravestone. I believeth that I died protecting you, my grace! It is with great courge that I have been honored by Sir Graham as Sir Dark-Daventry as the top knight. Sir Graham is currently resting at my house for the moment, and I shall carry any messages to and fro.
Have Sir Graham gather his troops and aid Us so soon as the battle has started. They are but a days walk away. Please, hurry.
The message has been sent and received. He is gathering all his troops, and is contacting all of his magical allies. His Fairy Godmother should protect him well, but he will still need more help. Using the little magic I have, I have created a spell around him so he would remain invisible to the enemy, making it more difficult for them. I have also read in places that there is a fourth lost treasure of Daventry. Sir Edward was sworn to secrecy by Mordack. But his notes were recently uncovered. Legend says this treasure has the power to grant the wearer any wish, good or bad. Like a genie around your neck. It gives you infinite wishes, if you desire. I shall search for it, as it may help us all! I hope to return soon, milady! I shall use this treasure to our advantage. I shall wish for what we want. The only setback is that those who are pure of heart are the only ones able to use it. I am pure of heart, as is the royal family of Daventry. It is one of the few powers I have inherited from Merlin. I can see who is and isn't pure of heart. I am sorry to say that no one in thine fair and noble kingdom is pure, at least not from what I have seen. But I believe that you, milady, just might qualify. The treasure shall determine that. I must be off, your grace!
Please do so, We thank thee Daventry D'arc. We shall get the fae. Lollotte, We require thy assistance once more, could thou pleaswe conjure a magical portal that allows Us to access Etheria? It is imperative.
Absolutely, my lady. I shall travel through myself and speak with her Highness, Titania.
*opens portal*
I am glad to say that I have found the location of this treasure. It currently resides within Etheria. May I accompany you, Lollotte? I have business to do with Titania myself.
Surely, Sir Knight, we must be off at once. Cirrocco has only so much patience.
I understand! I shall be waiting by the docks of the kingdom for thine. Unless you haveth a better place for me to wait.
We needeth to speak with the Queene herself. *leaves for Etheria through the portal*
My lady! I laud thee intrepidness, however, Etheria has once again become dangerous for the likes of thee. Stay close by, and if our party spots either the Wind Cirrocco or the Crystal Dragon, we must hasten to beg their assistance.
Of course. Hoever, We know the crystal dragon, he shouldn't dare hurt Us.
He(the Crystal Dragon) wouldn't harm a fly. :P

Your majesty, we have returned from the river. Thy enemies fell into the ambush as planned. Alas, a second band of enemy troops arrived from the road along the westward bank only minutes after the battle had begun.
They drove us back until we were forced to retreat. It shant be long before this cursed army arrives at the walls of thy kingdom.
We managed to take three of their soldiers captive, and they have been escorted to the dungeons for questioning.
I am sorry that we weren't able to slow their march for longer.
I would be able to create a small barrier. It won't last more than a day, but it shallst keep them back at least for 22 hours. Just say the word, and it shall be done! I must inform you that I have resumed my Magical training, so I am learning new skills that should help me in the future. Good day, your grace!

That is, indeed, a misfortune. However, thou did well, We thank thee.
How many casualties were there? And how strong is the second army?
What did they reveal? Mark, however, We do not believe in torture and not even Our enemy shall find themselves in those or dire circumstances. They shall be fed, watered, they shall be treated courteously, for they may yet serve Us. And they shall be trewarded for not betraying their own army, We respect that they may be persons of high power and therefore, may hinder further war. After this war we shall let them go as wholly as they were before.

Lollotte, Queene Titania sends her regrets, but they cannot spare the troops. Know ye of another that would be willing to help?
I know of only one other in Etheria. The Dream Weaver might lend us his nightmares yet!
But he only makes one at a time, they destroy one another on sight, if We remember correctly...
It is done, your grace! I am friends with the Dreamweaver. Being a wizard's apprentice has it's fair share of rewards! I happen to have a nightmare lying around that he got from the Queen of Daventry. (Could you believe that his job is now a whole business? He makes dreams and nightmares for those that pay a hefty price. I thinketh it beeth aroundeth fifty-four rubies. That is the lowest priced custom dream he can make you. But I can get one free, if thou desire it. I shall contact Queen Valanice at once to ask for her nightmares and dreams to help us! We can use the dreams to help our soldiers sleep, and the Nightmares to keep the enemy awake. What does thou wish, your majesty?
I am still searching in etheria for the treasure, and I believeth I hath found a clue to it's whereabouts. I believe the Crystal Dragon might know more of the clue. Good day, milady!
If only they knew that :devil:Questiebil and his minions of darkness are also searching for the treasure!! (and further explanation points, in combination with ominous music!)
Then I shall dispose of them using my newly learned vanishing spell! I shallst vanish them to Ooga Booga Land!
In the battle at the river, we lost close to half of the ambush band. As for the strength of the second army, there seems to be at least an additional one thousand troops marching towards thy walls.
I haven't yet heard from the soldiers I sent to interrogate the prisoners, but one of them should be reporting to me soon regarding any information that they may have acquired. Do not fear Your Majesty, I give thee my word that the prisoners are being treated fairly.
But banishing the minion of :devil: Questiebil to Ooga Booga won't do any good. Don't you know who taught Malicia all of her portal opening tricks? That's right, it was.... :devil: Questiebil! dun Dun DUN!!
Guards! Seize him!
*Draws sword, and charges towards Questiebil*
Halt knave! Thy treacherous ways shalt be stopped!
*GASP* My word! I had no idea! I shall think of something better than that then! He must be an accomplished wizard then! I am simply a wizard in training...
*zaps the imminent threat with magic staff*
Hold on, hold on!!! TIME OUT!
Imminent makes it sound like :devil: Questiebil himself is about to jump down and slaughter the innocents. He's not, he still has minions and we are FAR from the climax of this plot anyways. I think.
I demand a rephrase!! :P
*sighs* These villains are so fickle.
Aye. They are, lassy. Villains these days... ::)
:devil:Questiebil's not so much fickle as just....well, I care about the English language...deeply! Is that so wrong? :P

Half the band? 5000 men? Very well. Lollotte, we require thy assistance. Please, tend to the wounded and see to it that they heal quickely and lack all complications.
We also need someone to volunteer to go to Lewdor and seek out Derek Karlavaegen, he may be able to help.
And Daventry D'arc, how goeth thy search for the greatest of treasures? The dreams We accept, but not the nightmares, this battle shall not be won by any treachery.
Lollotte, We goeth to seek an audience with WIW (Wizards in White) and desireth of thy presence along with that of Our faithful subject the Baroness.
Even I hath bothered to readeth it, as I usually don't(eth)!

Aye, Tis quite possible. Farquhar, the battle has yet to begin, we still have but 5000 men...situate them around the army and try to get as many arms as thou can. Surround the enemy and demand an explanation, should they open fire and arms themselves, we shall attack.
I understand, your majesty! It shalleth be dreams then. I am getting closer to the treasure than ever! I have run into a few problems with Hagatha, though. Mordack was recently transformed back into a wizard by a witch I hath met once beforeth. She is a vile creature, she is. She is hiding within shadows themselves, waiting to be found. She is searching for the brothers and sisters whose plan's were foiled by his majesty King Graham so many years ago. I believe she is a sister to Hagatha, Mordack, and Mannan. I believe that Felisha is a cousin of her, and that Lucreto is a long lost relative of hers. She is searching day and night for them, and I hath run into her more than once. Everytime we meet, she is stronger, as if by finding her family, she grows stronger. I also believe she may be responsible for the troops increased power. She has been known to afilliate herself with thine enemy's quite often. The magic mirror is a wealth of knowledge to all those who seek it with pure intentions. I am aroundeth four days time from the treasure, if my magic serves me well. Farewell, your grace!
But Mordack is dead! This means he is undead and there are hardly any ways to defeat him, than to go to the Lord of the Dead and request his soul, and then defeat him...That way should prove extremely treacherous. Who is this witch of whom thou spoke? Mayhap, We may have heard of her. Malicia, is but a babe but should that witch also be related to Lollotte, then she shall, most likely try to turn her back as she was before.
Lollotte, We realize that thou art magickally inclined. Couldst thou, please, travel to Etheria, seek out the fates, and ask for protection against whatever may prove to be a threat?
We are going to the Isle Of Sacred Mountain to see the Orackle. Whomsoever wishes to accompany Us, may.
His death was nothing more than a trick, your majesty. I hath seen him alive and well once. He disguises himself as a black cat, and roams the streets, looking for Graham. I was promoted from a knight in Sir Daventry's court to the royal wizard. I am now his personal wizard, and he hath asked me to teach him some of my magic abilities, while I train myself under the ways of a very talented wizard who is the strongest of the living Merlin descendants. He is Merlins direct son, and therefore, enherits practically all of his powers. I train with him almost everyday, learning tricks only those who are pure of heart or descended from Merlin are able to master. Sir Graham is pure of heart, and therefore able to master my complex magic abilities. This witch has never been named. I hath never seen her up close, but from a distance. She is an extremely powerful one though. She could cast an entire spell over the land with the snap of a finger. I believeth that she could even turn the land into stone, just by chanting a spell, without the magical Mask of Eternity being broken. She could possibly be the result of mad science, or more likely, another dimension. She could easily be the Hagatha of another world, called upon by Mordack and his family. I know no more, but once I learn the spell of knowledge, I shall use it to learn more of this vile creature! I wish to accompany thou, and see the orackle myself, your majesty. I hath a question to ask her of great importance. It has to do with the future of the land. I know only a small outcome of this battle, but I am unable to say any of it, as it would disrupt the time continuem forever. And besides, the outcome could easily change, so I may have a future which may never be.
Very well. Of course thou shouldst accampony Us.
Lollotte, We also require that thou summons Kreesha Sa Tarna and the enchantress Aziza. Their help should aid Us greatly.
Indeed, it should. I shall set out for a Winged one that I know. He would grant us acess to the Orackle. He is a great friend of mine. They let me in to the mountains all the time. I look forward to our journey!
Very well. Who is this fellow, of whom thou should speak? He must be someone of high (no pun intended) position to be granted access to the sacred Orackle.
Indeed. He is the King of the Winged ones! I met him on my way here. I passed through the Land of the Green Isles, and got stuck in the Minetours lair by accident. They found me, and took me out. Although the minetour is dead, it is still very dangerous inside the lair! I almost got trampled by mutilated mice!

How horrible!
Tell me about it! They kept me there for about a week. They wouldn't let me leave the mountain to ensure my safety! They would grant me access to virtually anywhere on the mountain except off it! They put something around me, so that if I tried to leave, I would be flown back to my bed! But in the end I was okay, and have the King on Speed Yodel!

How...interesting. Tell Us, doth thou know what it was that they put on thy person? It may aid Us.
It was a band-aid like adhesive, with wings on the sides, I believe. It happened a while ago. My memory is fuzzy.
Baroness, We have taken it upon Ourselves to honour thyself, by making thou an Arche-Duchess, Anastasia, may of course, also profit from thy title and social status and stature.
Forgive Us for double-posting, but as it's been a few days, We thought it might be alright.
Daventry D'arc, forgive Us for not asking, but how art thou progressing in finding what thou dost seek?
No problem, milady! I hath found the treasure! There's one problem. There appears to be a giant spider in my way, and my magic is as useless as talking to a baby about x and y intercepts... It just bounces off with no apparent affect. I wisheth to have Lollote at my side, your grace. She may be of inmeasurable use to me. I would needeth your approval, though. I am currently located in the Land of the Green Isles. You can find me underground the Isle of the Crown, in a hidden cavern with treasures from throughout the land. I hath discovered some treasures of thine noble kingdom, as well, Queen Deloria! I have them with me, One is a bag that is as endless as time, another is a magic pen and quill set. You write on it, and the person with the other will receive the message. The third and final one (so far...) is, a device that apparently duplicates things. It could be useful in battle to duplicate armor, or to duplicate the magic pen and quill set. They will be brought to your kingdom as soon as I can get them there.
Al Hazrad, as thine may know, stole symbols of importance from the other Isles, and caused problems. It appears that he was behind the stealing of Daventry's treasures all along. He hired the three "protectors" and they kept them. He was going to find them, when they were gone. To get revenge, he contacted an old friend, Mordack. Mordack did well, until a turning point occured. He was then dissatisfied and stopped trying, so he just stole things from the Land of the Green Isles. But he stole treasures from practically every land known to humanoid kind! His genie was the one to take them, and then brought them to the pawn shop for sale. The pawn shop over time became the biggest place in the Isles to buy magical treasures, under King Alexander's rein. The magic paint brush he used belonged to none other than Kolyma, and the spell book belonged to a kingdom far off in the ocean, so far that only a wizard, or a genie, could possibly reach. I have yet to explore this new terrain, but Mannanan went there quite often. It is said to be the world's magic gathering. I will explore it if you wish, milady!
We agree, it would be more useful if thou were to go with an enchantress. We should ask Lollotte, but We are afraid she may have stopped posting in this Threade. :-\
My Lady Highness, I couldn't help overhearing your dilemma. I by no means am as great of an enchantress as Lollotte, but I do have a few tricks up my sleeves, might I be of service?
That should be wonderful. We thank the fates, thou art so kind, Zelly. When you return, We shall grant thou both a boon.
I welcome thine at my side, Zelly! You are forever welcome into the clan of Merlin Descendants! (As long as you don't betray me, such as Merlin's older brother did him. He turned evil and aided the dark ages to come to light!) I do sense great danger, though, Milady! I fear that King Graham's adversary's are alive and well, and plotting my demise as we speak. If I am to die a hero, or in battle, my spirit shall walk the earth forever after, and I will still come to thine noble kingdom to aid in thine quests. I shallst be at thine services even after death! But that, I sense, is at least a few months from now at least. I shall remain breathing until well past the third shudder of time occurs beyond the yonder moonlight. Fear not, Queen Deloria, as your fair and noble kingdom is defended against all attacks from an enemy. King Graham has lent me the magic shield, and a messenger has been sent to your kingdom, and should arrive at any hour of today. He will bring the shield as well as your kingdom's treasures. I trust you will use the duplicating mechanisms to duplicate by the hundreds the magic parchment and quill for fast letter transfers. The duplicated sets will work with any other sets, even the originals. All you have to do is write the recipient's name in the "letter", and the parchment will do the rest. It's like something called e-mail. (I hath seen the 21st century, milady, and "e-mail" is a way to send letters to people faster than light! It sends them over somthing called the Internet. It is all very complex, and I believe Merlin himself would struggle with the concepts! I do not suggest we use such a method, milady. It is too complex for anyone but a seer, which I am only a quarter. Merlin was half a seer.)
Good day, milady!
Ironically, We understand e-mail perfectly, as Derek Karlavaegen explained it to Us when We asked him about the Eye Between The World's. :P
We thank thou for thy concern, however. As Derek Karlavaegen also duplicated the Eye, We can use e-mail aswell as any person in the 21 century. The set, though, should be useful should We wish to contact someone without Our advantages.
Forgive me, then, your grace. I believe that you are right, of course!

I welcome thine at my side, Zelly! You are forever welcome into the clan of Merlin Descendants! (As long as you don't betray me, such as Merlin's older brother did him. He turned evil and aided the dark ages to come to light!)
Than thou shan't need to fear, for I have not, nor shall I ever bring such vile betrayal upon my comrades.
Then welcome to thine side, Zelly! You may use the magic mirror in my house to find me. Sir Graham found a device for it to transport people to some one at will. It's quite amazing!
Yes, tis. He used the same means as the wizard Owen. There is a spelle upon the mirror. If I'm correct in this it goes: Left symbol, right symbol, then the phrase: "You are a mirror through which I may looke, you are a doorway through which I maye pass. Open as (caster, in this case Daventry D'arc) bade you."
That tis it precisely, milady! I am surprised you know it! I am currently carrying a pocket magic mirror that allows me to do the same. It does the same thing Graham's magic mirror does, only pocket sized! It's the perfect travel agent! (And please, NO CEDRIC! He'd be the worst of the worse for travel agents! "Ooh, Graham! I'm too scared to enter that house! I think there's a harmless old lady in there! I'm too scared!" No offense to cedric lovers!)

Indeed, Cedric has no love for harmless or horrible things alike. :P

However, he may yet prove as useful to us, as he was to Graham. Take him with thou, should thou wish.
If it is what thou wishes, then it shall be my command!
Nay, nay. Unless it were what thou wished. For it does not bothere Us in the least either way.
Okay then. Never mind!
Thank you very much, your grace! OOPS! Wrong threade! OOPS to the second power! I spelled thread wrongeth! Ooops cubed! I spelled Wrong wrong! What's wrong with me today! (eth)

Just thought I'd stop by, since I seem to have been invited :P
Of course. Welcome to Our court. Stay and enjoy Our hospitality for as long as thou can.
I shall enjoy thy hospitality, milady
If it pleases his grace, We should like to know something of thy kingdom.

If it pleases his grace, We should like to know something of thy kingdom.
Sadly, I no longer reside over one. Oh I tell your grace, it was the most beautiful. It had the biggest castles, and the very largest twisted towers. All of my peoples were happy, but then.. I lost it..
I am a king without a kingdom. ::)
Perhaps it remains in the last place you left it? ;P
I wish :(
Pray tell Us, How could one lose such a wonderous kingdom as thou hath discribed?
And Jafar, We are honored to see that thou art posting again in Our Threade. Pray continue to do so.
The short version is.. love affair, peasant revolt and betrayal.. :-X
Goodness! Howe terrible! :o
We sympathize.
What remains of thy kingless kingdom nowe?
It is now a communist country :(
No! How horrible. We imagine you were driven from the land after that?
We feel the greatest sympathy and have decided to give thou a few peasants and some land to rule over, aswell as making thou a lord of this ere court. Would 500 men and 60 acres suffice?
Indeed it would, I thank thee milady, and shall rule just over this here given land and people.
Now, what to call my newly acquired "kingdom" ???
(While you're at it, you might want to make a kingdom on Nationstates.net :P)
The only requirement is that we remain allies.
I shall look into it :)
Your Majesty, the troops are fully rested from the last battle and are ready to march one again. I shalt be leading them out shortly to surround thy enemies.
These people shalt explain their horrid actions, of feel the cold steel of my blade!
Or in thy case, a laser blade. :P
We thank thou Farquhar. Thou hath proven to be a loyal and good subject of this large, pospering kingdom.Take the troops and fight the scoundrals that dared harm this ere land!

We thank thou, Saydmell, for gracing and honouring this humble Threade with thy superior presence.
And for thy treat for Our subjects, We have decided to award thou a place at this humble court as a Duchess, what say thou?
Excellent Zelly! Hath thou made any other pacts with Gods? They should prove to be most useful with Our kingdom under seige! For this, We shall also award thou a position at Court. We assureth thou, Daventry D'arc, Thou, Farquhar, King Leopold and Baroness Moodyblues are all favourites of Our's and We shouldn't want anything to harm favourites of Ours.
Farquhar, it seems We are forever in thy debt. We hath thanked thou so many times in the last posts, We shouldn't know how to repay thou, but promote thou.
I shall help farm thy ditches and weed thy livestock. ;)
Unfortunately My Lady Queen, I do not, On very rare occasions I have gotten on well enough with the Lord of Sun and Light, but I am afraid my prior mentioned pact hath put a strain on whetever claim to friendship we had.
If Thou would be kind enough to satisfy my curiosity, are our enemies very superstitious?

Then mayhap a mighty thunderstorm might give them pause... If they could be coaxed into believing the very heavens hath turned against them, they may leave the Your most noble borders.
That would be wonderous! We thank thou, once again Lady Zelly. But what if they should think it be but an ordinary storm? How could We communicate enough to tell them that if they should not leave, the Storm God unleasheth his wrath? We are at a loss, but the idea itself, awes Us.

Forgive me, My Lady Queen, I hath not explained my idea properly.
After my commune with His greatness, I shall go and speak with Thine enemies, and I will tell them that do they not leave Thy borders the very Gods shall turn their backs upon them.
A few well-placed thunderbolts, should help to convey the very seriousness of the situation.

Excellent, Lady Zelly. However, We shall send thy brother and his troops aswell, in case they should try to take thou as a prisoner.
Your Majesty, I hath returned from my journey! Thy treasures of Daventry hath been recovered, and King Graham has offered you the fourth treasure as your own. The other three treasures that rightfully belong to thine noble kingdom, hath been received, I trust? And I may be of great assistance in the god front. I am great friends with nearly all gods. I hath made a few "accidental" stumbles onto their domain, and they had threatened to skin me alive. Once I had told them of my ancestery, they let me go unharmed, and gave me free passage to their domain. All I have to do is summon them with a magic encantation. I can talk to whichever god you so desireth me to do, and your wish shalt be granted to the best of thine ability! I am also in active negociations with my cousin, who is the most powerful of all the gods. I am indeed related to a god. Merlin was quite well known, and one of his descendants went to marry a god, and their son became the most powerful of them all. The problem lies within the fact that he now despises mankind. His strength comes with consequences. And yet another downside, is that he is the very god that our enemies bow to. He is their "leader". He knows of their loyalty, and is deciding whether to join them, or join us. He only talks with relatives of his, and rarely to me, as I am hardly qualified as his relative. I am only a percentage of Merlin ancestery. He is but 75% merlin ancestary, the other 25% is gods. So he has quite some power. I may be on the verge of success, but one wrong move, and he could go against me. Only time shalt tell. Tell me what thou wishes, and I shalt try to honor it as best I can, milady!
Wonderful. Zelly shall contact Thor and thou shallt contact Aphrodite, Persephone, Isis and Attis if it pleases Our most humble, subject and favourite at this court.
Zelly thou art more intelligent than We imagined, on this ground We shall promote thou to Arch-Duchess.
Daventry D'arc, shall become a Baron if it pleases him.
I am honored, your grace. What exactly does a Baron do, milady? I am honored to accept such a posistion, but I must know my new duties to thine noble court.
Thou hath a barony of peasants and thy regal duties are much the same as they are now, of course that could change, but thou hath proven to be extremely helpful and We should like to keep thy duties as they are, should his lordship have no objection. Thou couldst also be knighted, should thou prefer that.
Many thanks, My Lady Queen!
*bows low*
As soon as Farquhar is ready we will depart.

I shallst accept any promotion you see fit, milady!
In that case, We shall make thou a knight with the power of a baron and thou shallt carry on with thy normal duties. Is this amiable? If tis not, it could be changed. However, thou art required to post a picture of thyself . :P
We did but jest, We bid you, return to this threade.
Milady, I apologize for my absense. My fairy god-mother hath been sick with the Avian Flu, so I had to leave thine noble kingdom for a while. Again, I apologize for my absence greatly!
Is the picture mandatory, or were you kidding, milady? I am very into online safety. Infact, my learning center, which is called a school in the era of the 21st century, had a whole assembly on it. There were state crime investigators there and whatnot. They claimed that Myspace is extremely dangerous and what-not. They did not, however, mention to any extent, the Silver Linging community, which I feel most happy abouteth!
I'm afraid that I must decline the offer if it includes my picture, unless, however, it has to do with the fannatics in the web gallery thing where Cat's picture is with the other fannatics. I am on the fan list, but my picture is not on there. I wonder how I change that... If, on the other hand, you waved the picture requirements, I would be happy to accept! Otherwise, I must leaveth at once and attend to my fairy god-mother once more. She is on the road to recovery, but I may not be returning to thine noble threade instantly. If you wisheth to contact me otherwise, you may PM me at your own will. I must be off, milady! My noble stead awaits me beyond thine balcony yonder, whereth I shallst meet with the kings of time. They are the kings that protect the time-space continuem.
Once thou hast attained the utmost respect of King Yonkward, thou art elegible for the rank of "Fannatic". Or something like that. :P
Respect is a noble attribute, Sir Jafar of Kirbs-o-lot, but not the sole trait towards... Fannaticania. XD
One must possess supreme involvement in this very community, devoting their very soul to this reverie-turn-reality! Their support may never wilt through seasons of uncertainty and dispair.

You both neeedn't talk like that, but you have to admit, it gives this threade an atmosphere. :PDaventry-Dar'c. We did but jest, of course tis not mandatory, for We are no dictator and force Our subjects to do very little.
Fare thee Well and We sincerely hope thy god-mather shallt get better.

Really-eth? He's a really funny actor/director who makes hilarious movies!
I barely know ANY actors. :P
Thats because you don't like movies.
Well that's the explaination that would make sense. :P
Eh, I'm pretty much the same way. I never remember directors, actors, their names, looks, or anyone else in the movie buisness. Actually, I'm probably worse, since I watch even less movies and don't obsess over anyone. ;P

Then I ended up registering in August and have been an avid poster ever since... *watches people fall asleep :P*
This shall be the most bothersome and boring movie in history :P
We thank thou, once again Daventry D'arc, We hath nearly despaired that one should never role-play again in this Threade. :P
It is all in a day's work, your majesty! And I believe that the troops shallst be coming in two days, if my quick visit to the future was correct. That means that we have to prepare ASAP for the battle. I must warn you, that I hath visited the future, and my soul will be all that remains after the battle. I shallst still post here, as my soul will be here, but my body will be floating in oblivion. There is, however, a way to change that, though!

Then please do so, we shouldn't want another subject to depsair in death. :'(
What hath happened to Moodyblues was most tragic, and we shouldn't want the same to befall thee.
We need allies, please go forth to the gods and ask them for aid.
Zelly, if it pleases you, we need aid, go to Thor and ask him for protection.
I can ask Lord Azrial to ensure that I shall not die in the battle, but he can not guarntee. His powers can't reach that far...
Please do so, and if possible spare all my cavalry.
And please, think of the children!

But they want their parents to come home safe... :'(
Very well, if possible DAventry D'arc, spare all my cavalry, firearms, and infantry.
It will be my pleasure, your majesty! I would be honored to do such a noble task!

Excellent. Such worthiness was seldom seen in a subject before. :)
Thank you, your majesty! I shall leave at once for Lord Azrial! I shall also ask for his skeleton troops to come to our aid and help us during our battle! Is that alright, your grace?
So long as they do not linger, I suppose so. Thank thee.

As you will My Lady Queen.
I shall speak with Him post haste.
The only reason they were sent to eliminate the noble Connor of Mclyrr is because Lord Azrial was unsure as to his allgience. I am, however, great personal friends. I was even raised within that realm in past lives... (I am the only person in the Merlin family that has the ability to remember, and possibly, enter past lives. Every descendent of merlin has a few unique powers. One of my exclusive powers is that which was mentioned.) The Dimension of Death was a huge, sprawling place when I was growing up. I remember that there were protectors of the Castle of Azrial, who each were from none other than Daventry itself. This, twas, however, before even King Edwards himself was born. It was generations ago. But in a time of despair, they left us, for the realm of Daventry, to help in the aid of Birth, or so they claimed... After that, we never heard from them again. Back then, portals between the two dimensions was common. I was the prince of the kingdom at the time. In other words, I can be considered the son of lord Azrial! That t's why him and Thine are great friends. I am, however, unable to open a portal at will, as my brethren is able to do. My brother can open dimensional portals at will, and pass through any dimension he so desires. That includes time travel... My clan is quite gifted, and quite rare as well. I must leave you now, milady!

As you will My Lady Queen.
I shall speak with Him post haste.
Then Godspeed to both of you! For upon both thy returns, thou shallt both be bestowed titles and honours as seldom seen before in any ream.
I shallst be honored to accept thine noble title, your grace. I live to serve you and Sir Graham only. (Sir Graham as I came from Daventry originally...) I hath heard news, however, that the Kingdom of Daventry hath fallen prey to a deadly attack. I have performed an extremely difficult spell to do, which was to make a copy of myself with all of my powers, to accompany Sir Graham back to his homeland. I am needed here, as my dutys lie within this noble kingdom.
And, I have heard of an amazing legend. There is a select group of black furred Unicorns, who behold an amazing power. They, supposedly, can grant someone who befriends one, an amazing gift. It can be whatever they so choose, and no deception. They are, however, dying out because white furred Unicorns fear them, and fear their gift, as they believe someone can come along and make them a dominant race of Unicorns. They are particularly hard to catch, but I believe that in the woods just beyond thine kingdom, there lies a whole civilization. The woods are seldom entered, and so there are mysteries beyond imagination within thine woods. I have heard that they grant those who are pure of heart an extra wish, as well as loyalty. I am pure of heart, and you, milady, are loyalty, so if thou wishes, I could find one for you. I would nither capture nor force it here, but rather a friendly invite into a welcome and respecting community. They can resist capture even from Merlin, if they so wished. That t's how strong they truly are. Only other unicorns have the power to stop them.
And Lord Azrial hath accepted thine friendly invite. He shall do his best to make sure I do not parish, and shallst send some of his skeleton troops, and claims to be experimenting with a new kind of warrior at his aid. He says your kingdom will be the trial of it's existence, and I am to lead it's powers. (They are a telepathic based creature, and take commands from their leader only, who must send out a message to them telepathically.
Good day, your majesty!
Black furred unicorns?
:devil:Questiebil's minions have a new quest! Bwahahahahaha!! :suffer:
Your Majesty, I hath returned with ill news. Upon confronting our enemies, they hath scoffed at our threats regarding the thunder god! And when Thor unleashed his godly lightning, a dark figure among the enemy ranks stepped forward and cast a spell which shielded the whole army from it! We were unable to learn much of this vile sorcerer, for we were forced to retreat. I don't remember him being among our enemies during the last battle. Perhaps he hath joined with them since? Tis truly a mystery... I can only hope that Thor can find a way to break this shield, or that we can discover a weakness in it....
What dost my queen command?

That news is indeed, troubling. We shouldst ask for someone in WIT or WIW. however they hath mocked me time before, as Our spellcasting skills are great, but We are not so accomplished as to call Ourselves an Enchantress or Sorceress. This man, he remindeth me a great deal of one called Yorick from Glorriana, could they perchance be one and the same? Please, noble Farquhar, seeketh the troops once again and find out what it is they are desirous of, take precautions and protection.
Daventry D'arc, We hath decided thou shallt be made a Marquise.
Farquhar, thou shallt be made a viscount for thy noble efforts, and Lady Zelly, a countess.
May I ask what my new posistion means? (I am so bad in all of these posistions! I hardly know what any of them mean! XD) That description sounds quite familiar... My cousin may know quite a deal about him. He hath dedicated his life to finding out the secret to evil. He hath in somecases had to actually be a double agent in evil. He is currently working on a book which lists evil doers and their accomplices. It is quite a big book, and I am sure that he hath knowledge of this figure of which you speak. I shall check with him as soon as I can... He is one of the few merlin descendents without powers, but those without those powers were given something else: Knowledge. They cannot cast a petrifying spell to save their lives, but they were born with one of the greatest gifts all, which they use in various ways. I must leave, your majesty!
Fare thee well, then. (Marquise is a high title, not to mention a rare one in any court), Yorrick is not always evil, he is/was the brigand's warlock, perhaps he hath taken an interest in the occults? :P
Alas, poor Yorrick? :P
Indeed, and equally poor Elsa, kidnapped like that and taken away to a brigand camp when she was really a princess! Ah, the injustice of life ;P
Your invitation is quite enticing, your grace! I hath no choice but to accept thine kindest of gestures! I am proudeth to be one of the elite in the most holy of threads...

I shalt depart shortly Your Majesty, and I accept my new title with pride. But first, please tell me more of this Yorick. If I shouldst see this mysterious sorcerer again, perhaps I could then determine if that is his identity....
He is a former court jester of a small, German Barony. The children of the Baron were kidnapped and the daughter forced to grow up as a brigand, when she grew elder, she had no recollection of the events of her childhood, nor that she was the daughter of the Barion. The girl, for Elsa was her name, began terrorizing the Barony. Her court jester (the aforementioned Yorrick) went to seek her and became the title of Brigand Magician quite well. His career was so prosperous, in fact, that even after Elsa regained her senses, he continued the path of thievery. His magick is not verily strong, but more of the joke variety, though most of it is unknown (which maketh him more feared and thus yields him power). He is known to laugh and throw powder into the face of the enemy whilst robbing him blind, if one should excuse the pun, for the victim is blinded when the powdery substance cometh into contact with ones skin. He is also known to tell jokes in a loud, annoying voice.
Sounds very annoying!

I take thine word for it, then!
Milady, I come bearing ill-news. Enemies of thine noble Sir Graham are running mad... Mailisha is working with Hagatha to bring down Graham, whilst Mannanan and Mordack, as well as the mysterious Shadrack, appear to be working against thou. They hath all teamed up with thine enemy, and bestowed upon them gifts beyond our time. They, I am sorry to say, hath gained the power of landmines from Malisha. The other four hath increased the power of the landmines using their magic. When one steps on one of these mines, all those connected with the person also feel the pain. Your family, half-way across the world, would feel your suffering. Your best friend, right next to you in battle would feel the pain just the same. These mines are a deadly match, but I hath asked a friend of mine to help us. He goes by the name of Crispin. I hath asked him to maketh a shield that would not harm you, or those connected to thou, or at the very least, lessening the power. The shields should be given to all soldiers, but I cannot guarantee their working. They are an experimental product, and not one hundred percent perfected, but I hear that they should work 90 percent of the time... I hath ordered one for myself and for King Graham. They cannot hurt you, so you hath nothing to lose by trying them. They may protect you, or they could be defected, depending upon the one you hath received. I have an order form lying on my desk for your orders. I wait for your response, my queen!
Very well. We agree, every sooldies in battle shouldst have one. But knoweth thou actually what it is that Shadrack, Mordack, Manannan et all are in want of?
And Countess Zelly, We trust thy mission with the brigand went well?
I beliveth that they search for the mystic treasures... That t's their new quest. Those treasures, when combined in battle, can create one devastating power! And I mean the mystic treasure of all kingdoms! They together can create the most devastating power. They already hath found the treasures of Llewdor, Kolyma, as well as Falderal... (It may not seemeth it, but falderal also has a mystic treasure of their own, the so called "Mocking Bird" of legend. It's annoying comments contribute greatly to the effect of the power! It amplifies it by hundreds!) The places that have three or more treasures are even more powerful! (That includes Daventry as well as your humble kingdom, milady!)
I shallst put forth thine order to Crispin.
Good. Please, do so.
Countess Zelly, as We assume thou shallt preform thy acts of humour and wittiful comments continuously, We hath arranged for thou to be present at the annual jesters convention as to better spot the horrible Yorrick, who still attendeth these events frequently. The convention begineth on the morrow, We hath also arranged thy transport, if it pleases thou.
Milady, can I accompanyeth Countess Zelly, for protection, incase her life shouldst be threatened?
Thou may should the Countess desire or wish thy protection. If she doth not, We hath other duties for thou, amongst others, to bring a treaty of alliance to the fae, We are also part fae, so they shouldst most likely welcome thou. :)

Tis a long journey Daventry D'Arc, I shall welcome your company shouldst our Lady Queene not object.
Thou I am not in need of protection, a friend is always a welcome companion in my travels.
Alas, poor Yorrick! Nobody likes him. :-\
Countess, I have a spell in which could be of inmeasurable use! It is a spell passed down from merlin descendent to merlin descendant, and you shallst be the first of non merlin ancestery to know of it's existence. It is the very spell that keeps my clan on the top of the Court Jesters tournament. It is the soul reason we won back in the day, before my clan quit the business! I do know it is illegal to use magic in such affairs, but it was used even before the tournament had been created. The spell applies to all who are born off of one person, and it can be undone by a simple incantation that changes with every application, and would enable you to humiliate Yorrick with glee, and bring him raining down. We t'ould not be cheating in any form, as the rules state that magick spells are allowed, to the extent that they do not guarantee your winning, and as this spell is only used against one person, will guarantee that you shallt win against Yorrick, but not always on top of the rest. You may use the spell at your own discresion... It should be of immense use!
*cackles with glee and rubs hands together*
Well, since it's not technically against the rules....
"Alas, poor Yorrick. I knew me well." XD
Quote from: Zelly on May 21, 2006, 04:05:11 PM
*cackles with glee and rubs hands together*
Well, since it's not technically against the rules....
I shall perform the spell now. It is a very simple one, and something that Yorrick shouldn't know. But, be warned, however. If the spell comes in contact with itself, meaning in another person, such as Yorrick, it will cancel itself out, and you would likely be left losing, unless your skills are enough. I do hear that this year The Merlin Clan is coming out of retirement, and that means they'll likely be casting their spell... The spell would cancel by any person using it, not just Yorrick. It is still your decision. You may have it granted if it is what thou truly wishes. I can cancel the wish for you, if thou would like. On the other hand, that is only rumor, and I hath been banned from the clan quite recently for coming to thine noble kingdom. They do not support my views, nor my alegience to the noble Sir Graham the pure heart of Lady Deloria. They wish only to serve their own clan with power. T's sad really. My clan used to be the purest around, even after Merlin hath died, but now in our day in age, they hath gone evil. Some are only greedy, whilest others are truly evil. Only myself and a handful of others remain pure of heart, and are all banned. Although our number is insignificant, t's our heart's power that determines true strength. The Merlin Clan no longer hath the power to have a pure heart. No, there is a new clan, one that is still, and always shallt be pure. That is my new clan, one that topples all others. Lady Deloria, I hath asked the other noble pure of heart descendants of merlin to aid thine kingdom in battle. Our kingdom is of noble cause, and therefore my cousins should be proud to help a noble queen, as well as free our evil brothers. (T's rumor that the evil clan of Merlin hath been hypnotized by none other than our enemies, meaning that they are not exactly evil, but only under the most powerful of spells. Legend says that there is one wizard who had the power to overcome merlin. There has to be a counterpart for all beings on the planet, to maintain the balance between good and evil.) I hath great duties to attend to, milady. The Kingdom of Daventry hath relocated to here, and wish to have a feast within my own house. Using my magick power, I should be able to make my house be as big as a castle on the inside, and as small as a tent on the outside. I shouldst need thous't approval first, your majesty.
Naturally, thou hath my approval, however, we must ask thou if thou readily thinketh this ethical to outdo Yorrick as such, if thou careth not then by all means do so, for tis thy desicion and out of our hands. :)
Indeed, Jafar, tis most difficult to find someone who attacks thy kingdom willingly, amiable :P

Yes, I was tallking to you. A Royal Crier (much like a Town Crier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crier)) would relay messages to the people from the presiding monarch, in this case, the Designated Forum Monarch, Her Grace, Queene Deloria (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1459).
Thank you for clarifying. And maybe I am... :evil:
Yet another one to acknowledge our person and swear fealty to us. We welcome thou. :P
And he is but a Lord Chamberlain and a viscount.
Who does that comment go to?
I was speaking to Elessar. But you're the acting lord chamberlain and viscount :P
You'd do the same thing?! :'(
Nobody seems to want to come to court anymore :'(
Court? Do you mean a legal court? If that is the case, I've never even been to one! (Well, I have been on a field trip, but that doesn't count!)
I'm talking about my royal court :P
You mean your thread? I'll go and post in a minute, as long as I can find a good thing to post in there... We'll see...
And what exactly do they do?
Milady, some fairly troubling news hath arrived at my house today. Castle Daventry hath been destroyed. The royal family lives strong, but the royal dog, Lord Ruff Ruff, has gone missing. Some say the dog is a shape-shifter, who is great friends with Mordack. No one really knows, but t's rumor circulating around the grape vine as they say. I have sent a detective down to investigate, who believes that the culprit shallst come after you, milady. We shall see. That t's all for now.
Nay! How hath this troubling event come to pass?! Laird Chaimberlains offere advice. Prithee, offer the royal family the hospitality of mine own home and quaters whilst I go else where.
M'Lady Queene, I hath returned from the competition.
Sadly I did not place first......
*Grins evilly*
But then neither did that blasted Yorrick. In fact, he was disqualified for trying to charm the judges. ;D
A messenger from Etheria hath told me of such disturbing tales. The royal family now resides within my humble abode on the edge of thine kingdom and the mysterious and unexplored woods. I take daily strolls through thine woods, and discover what I hath never expected to see.
Did thine magick worke? I heard my clan once more placed first. T'would that be true? Did Yorrick place behind you, or above you?

We art most sorry, thou did not place first, at the same time we art most glad that Yorrick hath not either. But pray, tell me, were thou able to get close enough to overhear or confront him?
Yorrick was disqualified.
Bring them here, if it pleases thou, we hath much to discuss with King Graham and Lady Rosella.
The magic did help enough for me to place second, and Yorick....well he did not place at all. ;-D
My deepest gratitude is owed thou, Daventry D'Arc.
Thou art welcome, Zelly!
I hath told them to attend a meeting with thou, milady.

You mean your thread? I'll go and post in a minute, as long as I can find a good thing to post in there... We'll see...
XD
Thanks. It was dying :P
Quote from: Deloria on May 29, 2006, 02:15:18 PM
We art most sorry, thou did not place first, at the same time we art most glad that Yorrick hath not either. But pray, tell me, were thou able to get close enough to overhear or confront him?
Yes M'Lady Queene. It was as thou hadst feared. He is working with Thine enemies, but I hath knowledge of his tricks, and now that I know it is the same Yorrick, I should be able to counter his every attempt against Thine great kingdom.
Thank thee Zelly, tis indeed wonderful to have such loyal subjects such as thyself. But pray, what tricks could he try now?
No it t'wasn't! Not as long as I'm around!
We will not allow it to die anymore than we allowed TSL to be killed.
Aww I feel lubbed. Thanks both of you. I know you wouldn't let my thread die :)
He is a master of many a dastardly deed, but I will be there to counter his every move.
I am sure he wouldst likely try his charm upon You or Thy Loyal subjects, but I am working on talismans to protect against that.
Indeed, Lady Zelly! Thou speaks the truth.

Aww I feel lubbed. Thanks both of you. I know you wouldn't let my thread die :)
Your thread will never die!
But let's save that for Deloria's thread...
Thank thee Zelly, regardless however, we must be sure he never setteth foot in this castle. Can thou arrange this?
My threade is immortal!! :o :P
I believeth I can helpeth there! I hath been experimenting with shield spells, and hath succesfully created a shield that lasts a whole year, and is virtually indestructable. I can conjor it for thou, milady! It prohibits entry of those with an evil heart. I do not mean that those that are not pure of heart will not have acess, as that is not the case.
Between Daventry D'Arc's shield and these talismans, Your castle will be protected from harm, or we shall die to defend both it and You.
My life rests within your hands, milady. I would gladly die for thou's kingdom. My life's work will be completed if I die a hero defending your kingdom.
Such loyal subjects a Kingdom never had. :') The shield charm should work well, but alas, when the time hath come for the charm to cease work, willt thou conjure up another?
I made you one!!! ;D
May I, Jason the Great, useth thy slurredeth speech in miladies elde threade? :P
Indeed thou might, however couldst it not also be eldely slurred? :P
Although milady, I can barely speaketh thy slurred and elde slurred would be much more a challenge. For now I haveth chosen thy elde language and willst continue to do so for now. But alas I may slip and might spill some sweet less annoying English. :P
Thou dareth to call the tongue in which we speak annoying? :P
In that case, if thou continueth to speak in this manner, by all means, stay.
The elde English in which you speaketh is true evil, but I fear not and willst more forth and use elde English in thoust threade. For when I do not reside here I may speak thy new English.
Indeed thou may. :P But we see it not as evil. Tis a most gracious and beautiful tongue, yet what thou sayeth amuses us greatly. :P
Tis a graceful tongue. But alas I believe that thy threade hath a most horrible curse, therefore twould explain why thee speaks in such an odd way. :P
Do we? :P Forsooth, what be the cursre of which thou hath spoken?
Alas, I was hoping that thee might enlighten me on the curse in which I spoke of! XD
We fear not, lest it be the curse of the drunkards :P
Elde English is the most holy of all languages. Tis the language in which I useth not everyday! XD Milady, how art thou? How do thee spare in thine kingdom?
Why-eth dost thou confuseth moi-eth? XD
We mean not to confuse her grace, Princess Rosella, but tis the language in which we art fluent and indeed tis a beautiful and flowing tongue. We are quite well, thank thee for asking Lord Chaimberlain. :P Our kingdom fareth well, but for a tempest which hath decided to maketh this faire land its home.
I hath heard from our enemies that an evil invasion shall strike at midnight tonight. I hath put up the shield, and I urge thou to prepare thine troops.
Good day, milady!
I shalt gather the troops for our Queen at once, Lord Chamberlain! With thy shield, our enemies shalt break upon this castle like water on rock!
We are obliged to thank thee both, Farquhar and Daventry D'arc. The enemy hath been vanquished and the evil blight upon this kingdom diminished. Might I ask if there were any captured, who they were and from whence they came?
I hath captured Malicia, Mordack and Mannan in a bottle, trapped within the basement of my hut. They shalt not escapeth easily, milady!
Indeed, but they are yet to be tried, so soon as they are, we feareth their escape is imminent. Daventry D'arc, we entrusteth thou with the single task of making sure they do not, lest they be found innocent. Accepteth thou this task?
*Bows before her royal highness* I do indeed accepteth thine most noble of tasks. I have them locked within a high security facility with no human escape I can possibly thinketh. It's ingenious!
Indeed, they art unable to escapeth before the trial, but during the trial? Methinks we needeth a plan. Lord Farquhar what is thy oppionion of this all?
I hath taken the precautions of ankle charms, which shall activate if they do try to escapeth. They automatically sendeth the person back to the trialeth.
The ankle charms Daventry D'arc speaks of should hold thy enemies My Queen, but thou can be assured that I shalt have guards stationed nearby as well, just in case they do find a way to breaketh the magic of their bonds.
It will also please thou to know that we have captured Yorick. He hath been knocked unconscious in battle, and is currently being held in the dungeons.
Excellent, yes it pleaseth me indeed :). So soon as he hath regained consciousness, bringeth him to me for formal questioning. And thank you doubly for having the guards stationed as a precaution. The trial shall proceedeth as planned on the morrow and I bid thee both to become members of the jury.
Your wish is my command, milady. I shall be a jury member. I believe that we should also try them for crimes of the royal family of Daventry. They've caused them too much trouble to go unnoticed.
Yes, but first we should consulteth them, tis after all, their affair
True milady, true. I shall ask Graham as sson as possible.
Very well, but whilst thou art there, inviteth he and his family to stay at our abode.
Whatiz goes on aboutz here? :P
The trial hath been held, and they hath been curiously found innocent, know ye of how such a thing hath come to pass?
No :P

Quote from: Deloria on June 15, 2006, 05:15:55 AMAnd "No euro yet, thank goodness" refers to the fact that I'm glad Switzerland hasn't joined the EU yet :P

b) You need 't use the euro as national currency when you're part of the EU

Then we welcome thee to court and to this land with open arms, fore anyone who sweareth loyalty to me, shall be protected from the evils of the world in this small kingdom.
Welcome back, Deloria :P
But I can be in two places at once :P
Welcome back Vildern
Thanks, Deloria for the warm welcome :P
Welcome back, too :)
I hath returned. But alas thee still speaks an evil language in which thy devil worships! :P
We worshippeth not the devil, but the gods. And yes, we hath still been inclined to speak thar beautiful tongue. :P We welcome thou back to court, :P
Time. A wonder. A mystery. An ancient puzzle unsolved for millenia. But After all of my unnoticed absence, I hath returned, milady queen Deloria. I hath been doing much, and been busy down to the very last milla-second of time, but hath made time to see thine kingdom once more. But, I warn thee, for I shall once more return to the kingdom from whence I came. My timeth hath come, and am busy doing work upon work. But fear not, milady, for I shall return again.
Good day, my queen!

I shalt not be back for long, milady. I have many a things to attende to, such as day camp for six weeks, and such forth. But I believeth that thine holy kingdom be recognized. I wish for thou's permission to enter our fair land into the annual Kingdom Fest, where the winning kingdom is given the honore of having a huge cookie jar, filled with chocolate chips forever after. (Even though I dislike chocolate chip cookies, who says I can't play around...?) Milady, I believeth I heare the sounde of a noble steede approaching thine kingdom. I cannot tell whether it has faire or evile intentions, but I can say that it does belong to a mighty warrior, with a brave heart and soul. A brave heart can belong to evil as well, so do not be deceivede by the appearance. Don't judge a book by it's cover...
We grieve to heare that thou art taking leave so soon. We grant our permission. Indeed, a steed approcheth.
Whosoever be the next male to post in our thread shallst have the title of Hero Of The Queene! :P
We thank thou, Bushie Of Elde, the feaste shallst be within the weeke.

Such places hath changed upon my absence, which may indeed get increasingly larger. My presence on the forum shallst detirierate until maybe nothing is left. In fifty years, that is! XD But I come bearing grave news from the Kingdom of Daventry. A memorial has been erected in honor of a great king, who led Daventry into battles. Worry not, for t's not Sir Graham, but a great friend of his. A very powerful friend. He once led Daventry known as King Edward the first. He hath been kept alive by the so called "Fountain of youth" for over a century now, but you can only drink from the fountain so many times before it's effects get weaker and weaker until eventually it just stops working. In his youth, he served with Sir Graham, and went to battle, and everyone was oblivious to the fountain's very existence. That is, until Graham discovered it's location, or rather, it's location at the time. He saw his friend drinking from it, and discovered his true age. He hath passed away quite recently, and his secret was never revealed, as Graham kept his promise, being a noble man of his word. He dare not even tell the public after his death, but rather, wish it to remain a secret. No one even knew who he once was. If you might recall, Sir Edward the first stepped down from king, as the kingdom would become suspicious vif he stayed in power for generations. It had already been nearly a hundred years as king, and it was a time to prosper. They hath asked that you, a noble ally of the kingdom, to make a speech in his honor. In fact, it was in his will that you do this. The decision is yours, and yours alone. He wishes not to force thou, as he knows you to be a person of her word.
Good day, milady.
This greiveth us greatly. I shall make a speech, for I got along quite well with him. Court, we are going on progress to the kingdom of Daventry and travelling through ours to reach it. Whosoever wisheth to partake in it and was not invited to court, may. The rest of us shallst leave on the morrow. We shall be gone a fortnight. :P
Okay, I decided to change my avatar and profile, I was getting bored with the Tudors because I knew so much about them. All hail the Plantagenets. :P
Planeteers? :P
Not exactly. :P
Most awesome, milady! XD

I've been meaning to ask, what does your sig mean? (Pardon my ignorance.)
The first part of it, is to show I'm a member of POS, I have a stamp, my name and my POS email. The second part is just to show that I'm the vice-president of APRETT (Association of Patient's Right's to Eat Tasty Things), then I have an advertisment for my thread and I put my full title there so people here know as what they should address me, then I have a King's Quest tag, which is just a fan-thingy (it also shows I'm a monarch :P). Then, finally, Vildern and I got married, so I added that to my signature, and lastly Icarus made me marchioness of the underworld so I added that as well. :P Any questions to any of that? :P

It's alright. :) I wanted to explain the whole thing anyway. :) It wasn't idiotic in the least. What happened was this, after an insane voice chat, Raf proposed to Kelsey, Vildern and I decided to follow suit. :)
I..........see.............*Summons milkshakes. Drinks one thoughtfully*
Actually, it kind of started when Cat got married in Chamber, Raf wanted to bring Chamber back, and so he proposed to Kelsey (for more reasons than that), before that, Raf and I were discussing marriage in MSN (no idea how the topic came up, but we weren't discussing our own ;P), and so it kind of came to pass that forumers were getting married.
So, is it like Las Vegas where, for $5, you can get married to inanimate objects? Or just insane Haven....ers?

*Downloads MSN* Just tell me when! ^^
Awesome! :D Sometime soon, no idea when. :P
Like, this weekend soon or this month soon?
Okay fine. :P
Date: This Saturday.
Time in EST: 9:00
Time in GMT: 14:00
Be there...or else. :P
The whole "marriage" craze seems to have died down though. :P
So? :P I'm still going through with it, :P it'll get rid of Raf's crazy ideas if nothing else. ;P
Deloria, you probably already read it in another topic...I can't be there. :'( I'm so sorry. *Gives Deloria an apology card*
Not even if it gets changed to Sunday? :'(
If it's on sunday, I'll be there!
Okay :D Thanks :D
*Gives cookies to all posters of this thread!*

XD Sure. :D But can you get something to base it on with cat pics please? (Did you mean something like this, but with cats and without the bird? (http://www.wmcarey.edu/carey/serampore/crest.jpg)

*knights Raf in her threade* ;P
Greetings Your Majesty, I hath been away on a perilous quest for some time. On the eve before the trial of the vile Yorick and his cohorts, I stumbled into a plot regarding an evil curse which could send the whole world into chaos!
The threat was put to an end however, and I now return to serve thee in thy kingdom as a loyal knight and viscount.
I must thank thee for distilling the threat. Thou art indeed the most loyal of subject.
Alas, Yorrick and his clan hath taken to the highlands above, where methinks, they shouldst attempt to wrestle power from mine name and put a usurper on the throne. I must ask thee all, wouldst thou go to war with me and beside me attemptest to hand me the sovreignety once more, shouldst it come to it?

I am here to serve, my Queen! (kneels before her)
Then, I bid thee, become a knight of mine kingdom and help me defeat the evil that plagues this land and threade. *knights Shades2585*
Mylady Queene, as Thou shouldst well know, I am ever Your most loyal subject.
Please allow me to help in eradicating this vile plot against You and Yours.

Indeed, thou weret ever the most loyal subject for which I couldst possibly hope. For that, I feel compelled to thank thee, though tis not proper for a ruler to do so. :)
Methinks a civil war breaketh out, therefore, I must ask thee: Seeketh all nobility that hath been continuously loyal and bid them bring their arms.

Aye tis quite possible, however if my memory shouldst deign to serveth me correctly, (this is the eleventh century), the population of mine faire realm of Albion/Elde England was composed of around 1,500,000 people. Excluding the minors (granted they didn't back then and one was considered an adult by the age of fourteen...::)), the olde, the sickly, and some Grand Dukes and their serfs who neither support my cause nor wish to fight for some inane reason (I refuse to order them to do so for fear they shouldst jeopardize my vital battle plans ::)) we're left with several hundred thousand. :)

Err, well yes milady, but it is needful for men to till the fields, work the shops and attend to other mundane matters. Were all able bodied men to vacate your estates it wouldst utterly ruin them. Also the wains needed to carry provender for such a force wouldst be so prodigious as it were not possible that it should be accomplished. Aye, and such a host would verily drink rivers dry and consume so many provisions that not even the richest district could sustain them, but they must be spread out over many counties. :)
Also, if indeed this doth be the eleventh century after the passing of our Lord, then the Duchy of Aquitaine is the title of the Counts of Poitou, and neither it nor Calais fallen under the protection of your most gracious majesty, but that your heart may be gladdened you mayest be aware that the title of the Duchy of Normandy does fall to you however (if it is post-1066 11thc anyway :o).

Greetings to everyone who shouldst be deigned to read this:
This is most probably my last post on this forum. Recently, I was reading the Act of Settlement and the Protestant Succession and a copy of Edward VI's will, when I came across an interesting paragraph (something which I had already known), legally, my departure from this threade and forum couldst be considered as my abdication (which the aforementioned paragraph I hath edited to befit my case):
"That Queene Deloria having endeavoured to subvert the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between Monarch and people and by the advice of wicked persons having violated the fundamental laws; and having withdrawn herself out of this kingdom; has abdicated the government; and that the throne is thereby vacant."
Another thing I came across (which I also already had suspected) was that the Hannovers had and still have no claim to the throne, if anyone wishes to contest to this, they are free to do so. I will not present my evidence in this post, but anyone is free to contact me via email to discuss it. :P
Back on topic, as I do not wish civil war upon this kingdom and as I shall most likely not return and as Moodyblues (who was my erstwhile heir) hath departed from life, there remaineth the problem of my succession. In which case, I can only choose my own successor, having no heirs.
In this respect, I choose Petra Rocks as my successor, assuming he shall uphold the monarchy. He may consider this his thread if he wishes, or a mod can move this and make him his own thread. If he declineth to ascend, I leave the throne to my best knight, Shades. Shouldst he also decline, the throne shall go to Throckmortan, then Elessar and thereafter to Merlin or Cat (tis their choice who, but joint regency will not be an option for obvious reasons. :P) Should both of them be unwilling to do so, the throne shall befall to Baggins and hereafter to Oldbushie or Raforever, both of them having humored and put up with me for such an inordinately long period of time that I feel compelled to mention them.
/me accepts great seal (bearing the Plantagenet coat of arms) from Dark Daventry and stamps and signs the document
Henceforth, thou maye consider me abdicated, if I do not return. Should I return, those aforementioned were merely governing in my absence.
Deloria. By the Grace of God, abd. Regina of Albion, Ireland, Fraunce.
Duchess of Daventry, Aquitaine, and Normandy.
Marchioness of the Underworld.
Well, well, it seems the rank royal heir takes on new meaning. I will accept this regency, in the hope that I may one day return leadership of your thread to you. You will be missed.
I've never posted in this thread before, but enjoyed reading its 30+ pages. My Queene, thou shalt be sorely missed.
Long live His Highness Petra Rocks!
We shall miss you dearly :'( and hope eternally for your return. :-[
Wishing you good health and good fortune. (huggs)
Forever your Knight,
Shades 8)

*informes the temporary heire he will render his spying services to anyone who governs this threade, but is currently mourning the loss of the previous Queene* :-[
Ditto!
*mourning*
I would mourn her loss, but I'm a bit too busy adopting the mantra of: Video Et Cognosco. ;)
Okay, my Latin is very weak, but doesn't that mean see to learn?
Just what is that supposed to mean? ???
I actually don't speak Latin either, so something probably got lost in translation. :P
Perhaps Delling can help? ???
Yeah, I saw that earlier... the thing with cognoscere is that it's one of those weird verbs that is very particular. It can be used to mean "to be familiar with" or "to understand"... so when I used cognoscere in the multilingual chat, it wasn't literally to know but more to be familiar with or to understand Latin. To know something in particular or to know how to do something is scire (scire + an infinitive for "how to" statements). It's similar to saber vs. conocer in Spanish though I don't think the rules of usage are as rigid. Cognoscere in the perfect system does in fact mean to know (as the process of becoming acquainted with or getting to know is completed).
All that having been said, "Video et cognosco" would mean "I see and understand" or "I see and am becoming acquainted with" or "I see and am familiar with"... as a mantra I would think the first would make the most sense. Of course, cognoscere is a transitive verb: so it sort of begs the question what you understand. However, I'm gonna just go with the interpretation that you understand whatever it is that you're seeing.
Awesome, then I did say it right! XD
Hmm... how do you say "the truth" in Latin?
That depends: what are you using it for in the sentence (ie- what function? subject, direct object, object of a preposition, indirect object, etc.)? Latin is a declined language: this means the nouns are inflected to match their grammatical function and usage.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you either want it as the subject or direct object...
subject: veritas
direct object: veritatem
Wow, I didn't realise there were so many variations. The one I'm looking for is the noun. 8)
EDIT: Nice avatar! ;D
those are both nouns... In most cases, a given noun will have 12 forms: 6 singular and 6 plural not excluding syncreticisms (cases of the same ending). Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Ablative, and Vocative. The nominative is used for subjects and predicate nominatives, and the accusative is used for direct objects.
This is a bit of an oversimplification... but...
Nom. -> Subject: Veritas est. (Truth is.) and Predicate Nominative: Ea est veritas. (It is the truth.)
Gen. -> possession: ...veritatis bonus... (the good of truth or truth's good)
Dat. -> Indirect Object: Veritati id fecit. (He did it for truth. / He did truth it. -or more idiomatically- He did it for truth's sake.) (I had some difficulty trying to come up with a sentence in which truth would be an indirect object in English and not the object of a preposition....)
Acc. -> Direct Object: Veritatem amat. (He loves the truth.)
Abl. -> object of the preposition: ...de veritate... (...from the truth..)
Voc. -> direct address: Veritas, ubi es? ((a little personification) Truth, where are you?)
...which doesn't look too simple, but the cases aren't 1:1 with functions like this suggests... all of these are singular noun forms...
As another example, "Veritatem cognosco.": I "know" the truth.
I don't think you're understanding me, so I'll rephrase it better.
Please translate (to the best of your ability) this phrase in Latin: "The truth shall set you free".
I don't care which conjugation, verb tense and grammar you pick, as long as you feel it is correct. :)

You never actually said why you wanted to know what "the truth" in Latin was... which was why it was difficult to give an answer...
anyways...
Veritas vos liberabit.
Thanks Delling! :)
There's a reason why I never said why. ;P The reason was because I wanted to update my profile. 8)
Wow, thanks for that Delling <3
Really interesting stuff!
How do you say "Neil you suck" In latin?? :P
Taking from my earlier translation of Ionki for Yonkey (I'd have to do some etymology research... for Neil which I think is Gaelic which this: "Neil Look up Neil at Dictionary.com
surname and masc. proper name, from Gael./O.Ir. Niall "champion." Picked up by the Vikings in Ireland (as Njall), brought by them to Iceland and Norway, thence to France, introduced in England at the Conquest. Incorrectly Latinized as Nigellus on mistaken association with niger "black," hence Nigel" (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Neil) ... seems to confirm...)
Ionki, sorbes. = Yonkey, you suck.
~OR~
Nigelle, sorbes. =Neil, you suck.
But I'm still thankful for my own thread and thus Yonkey is 8) w/ me still though I might not be with him after he reads this.
Interesting, so I'm both white and black? I guess that makes me grey then... or silver. ;)
And, I just saw this etymology at BehindTheName.com (http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=neil&nmd=n&gender=both&operator=or):
"From the Gaelic name Niall, which is of disputed origin, possibly meaning "champion" or "cloud". This was the name of a semi-legendary 4th-century Irish king. A famous modern bearer of this name was American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon."
Interesting... 8)
I knewe some Latin... for four months when I wereth 12 years old. ;D ;P
On behind the name:
QuoteBOB
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Dutch
Pronounced: BAHB [key]
Medieval short form of ROBERT.
QuoteROBERT
Means "bright fame", derived from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and beraht "bright". The Normans introduced this name to Britain. It belonged to three kings of Scotland, including Robert the Bruce who restored the independence of Scotland from England in the 14th century. The author Robert Browning and poets Robert Burns and Robert Frost are famous literary bearers of this name. Also, Robert E. Lee was the commander of the Confederate army during the American Civil War.

I am grateful that thine hath returned, and with a very bright future ahead. Allow me to congradulate thou once more, and I am honored I was of service to her majesty. You're a brave person, Milady Queene, and to fight backeth with your mighte, you hath prevailed against unlikely odds. Life is random... (Is that considered stealing? I took it from the iPod Shuffles... XD) You contain a very brave heart. Mistakes may have been made along the way, but we're all human (Well, there may be a few unicorns in the woods over yonder and other "mythical" creatures around thy land.) and humans all make mistakes. But we can justify our mistakes, no matter the person, no matter how big or small the mistake was. A second chance is right around the corner. You just have to believe in yourself in order to turn that corner. You have to push thyself.
Good day, milady, and may your kingdom live for eternities to come...

Wait a sec, are we in the wars of the Roses? If so, I am at war with Shades. This could be a problem. ::)
LOL I was wondering if you'd notice that. (See New word assosiaion.) I was hoping the person after me would say "War of the Roses" but they didn't notice what we had done. Oh well. It almost worked. ;D
No we are
not at war. Not to mention my Queen would have my head if I did that and I'm rather attached to it right now. XD
Who were the two familes in War of the Roses?
It's the later half of the 14th c. :)

And decide between my two of my favorite peers? :'( I couldn't! :P
Lancaster and York. :) The Plantagenets were the family (the wars of the roses are also commonly called the cousin's war).
So I'm Shades cousin? Hummm. Better than being at war with him I suppose.
the war of the roses was... that one I know :P...
Are we also situated in that era, my queene?
We are situated around half-a-century before then. :)
Ah, bon...

You alone, could...just forbid your grandkids from marrying a French princess and giving up th' Aquitaine and we'll avoid almost everything. :)

“I forbid you to marry the French Princess.”
(Now you know what a kid’s going to do when they’re told that.)

This is Anna's thread and you are talking about Shades' future unborn kids? :P
Gotta love how conversations work around here! :P
Actually I think we are talking about who his future unborn kids kids will marry. To avoid having Margaret of Anjou loose Aquitane for the crown. Or something like that. ;D
Say's right, Shades' future unborn kids deserve their own threade because they're going to be great monarchs. :D
No, to avoid Margaret of Anjou losing every foreign province apart from Calais. :P
Edit: And I resent the fact that she tried to discredit York and Warwick! :P She summoned them for trial and was going to have them killed for treason. Luckily, it had been done before and they were suspicious, they recruited around 3000 men, and so started the Battle of St Albans. :D
But that would prolong the HYW!

I'm not sure...I kind of doubt the French would have tried to recover all the provinces that she literally gave away, but it is possible.
The De Guesclins will never surrender!! :suffer:
Okay, so maybe that doesn't have much to do with anything, but it still sounds cool. ;D

Slightly different dialects, but they are similar. :P
The CIA factbook just says German, nothing about dialects. :P Still, hard to argue with somebody would actually lives next to it. ::)
Um...there are technicalities and many would deem any other dialect other than their own to be incoherant, but written and assuming people actually speak High-German (unlikely, though possible) in their daily lives, it's the same. :P Or I could just dig up one of Austria's other regional languages...::)
Croatian anyone? :)
Ummmm, okay I'll take your word for it. XD
How about Vlach?
Quote from: Petra Rocks on October 25, 2006, 02:25:46 PM
The CIA factbook just says German, nothing about dialects. :P Still, hard to argue with somebody would actually lives next to it. ::)
Oh, there definitely are dialects. German alone has at least two that I know of before the reunification so former East might now be a third I don't know and part of Chech speaks German as well (because it use to be part of Germany.) so i probably has it's own dialect too.
My cousins can't understand swiss-German and only speak high-German, so there are definitely differences. :P
How about French? It was the court language of the time IIRC. :)
I think I'm leaning to Latin... though... Classical Greek? mayhap? (hard to get names for Ireland, Albion, and Normandy though)
In classical Greek yes. The Romans has names for those places, though I don't know them. ::)
If I do go with French, it's going to be Elde French and it might also be hard to find a name for Albion. :-\ On the other hand, Aquitaine and Normandy should be easy. ::)
I'm definitely partial to both Latin and Classical Greek. :yes:
And I decided to declare myself Princess of Aquitaine. :P
I thought you were already Duchess of Aquitaine. ??? They should have name for England, but that may not be quite the same.
I am, but I resent the fact that Edward of Woodstock got a princely title for the same domain. ::) Besides, Dukes are technically princes. I just decided to style myself differently. :)
Quote from: Petra Rocks on October 27, 2006, 04:50:43 PMHow about French? It was the court language of the time IIRC. :)
The Spy Master musth objecte to the use of this language strongly, as he only hath notions of the language. ::)
I havth no French whatsoever. Or Polish, for that matter. ::)
I'll stick with Polish for a while longer and decide later. :)
*goes back to playing court* ::)
EDIT: *takes off towards Nonsuch palace, her favorite residence*
So, I want to pass another test act. ::)
Suggestions? :)
Quote
Ye Seconde Test Act that hath not been repealed by Her Grace:
By order Of Her Grace, Queene Deloria of Albion, Ireland and Fraunce
Due to th' repeated offences commited unto Her Grace, ere newe Test Act shall forthwith be put into action.
Attempting to pair up th' Sovereign Anointed is as of th' date of ere Act, considered treason and shallst be punished as such. Repeated offenders that are not of Her Grace's bountiful Realme, shallst instead never have an audience with Her again.
[spoiler]aka, STOP TRYING TO FIX ME UP!!!! :P I'm breaking off all contact with the next person that tries this, it's enough. Really, I'm a lot less than amused. [/spoiler]
Well, west cannot have the queene's thread so far removed from the frequented first page of this faire forum, so I haveth prepared this in her honor. ::)

Hopefully you like it, and are not totally embarresd. :D ::) :suffer:
That's quite probably the best Christmas greeting ever. :D Thank you. :-*
I shouldst fain appeal to th' mods NOT to edit that post for th' abundance of smilies. :P
Dud your the bomb Petra. That was a COOL idea.
:thumbsup:
Merry Christmas My Queen!
I raise my glass of Gluwein. (And yes I do have a few bottles of it.)
I toast to you.
The ever benevolent and totally bestest Queen this world has ever had.
Best wishes to you and to Petra, my friends.
*HUGZ*
Your humble servant,
Shades
;] ;] ;] ;] And yet I would be nothing without wonderful people like you, Shades. :) You're the bestest subject of whom any monarch could ever even have a want. I wish you the best in turn. :D
D.R.
You forgot the H in cHristmas. :P
So I did. I think I'll blame word and the forum for not spell-checking smiley-spelled words. :P It's as good an excuse as any. :P
*got lost several times when scrolling down the smiley-post* :P
Anyway, a special Happy New Year to My Queene, and may your reign last forevermore. 8)
Thank you, CC. :D Happy New Year to you too. :) And to the rest of my court as well, not to mention whomever shouldst be deigned to see this post etc, but especially to my court. :P
And Happy New Year to you My Queen. May your wondrous reign continue unhindered. ;D
*HugZ*
*bows to his Queene*

I've now adopted the HRE. :D And the Sun in Splendour is my new badge. XD Anyone who wants to keep their old titles may do so, otherwise I'll be glad to bestow new ones upon you. :) Oldbushie is still my hero, CC is still my Spymaster. :D
I'll take the badge of U Slurping Carpet! XD
XD lol. Capet was French, nor HRE. ;) And if my Queene moves to the HRE, 'tis my duty as a subject to follow. :)
Though I'd really prefer it if you did at least retain Aquitaine, though it is your decision, of course. :)
-Petra Rocks is th' Duke of Bavaria and thus an Elector. :D He is also Grand Duke of Luxembourg. :angel: :D
-CC, my Spymaster, my defender in Chamber, is th' Count Palatine of the Rhine.
-Shades, I bestow upon you the Kingdom of Bohemia. :D
-Delling, if it should please you to take the Duchy of Saxony I'll gladly give it to you. ;D
Awesome, now I have four electors. ;D To whom I feel naught but affectionate. You all rule. :) Especially Petra Rocks. :)

I don't follow, what's the HRE ???
I thank thee for my new title. 8)
The Holy Roman Empire. :D Which is allegedly neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire, but those are just technicalities in which We don't believe (though Vildern's going to kill me for saying it). :P

I agree so will I.
*Bows before thee*
I hope my Knight status shall always remain but I shall relinquish my other titles as thee see fit.
Thank thee very much my ever benevolent and thoughtful Queen. ;D
Of course your knight title should stay. :) The only other thing that will change is that the Knights of the Order of the Garter shall become Knights of the Order of the Swan. :)
And you are, of course, welcome. :)
Thank you, my gracious Queene. :D *Goes off to change his sig*
You are, of course, welcome. :) I'm very honored you decided to keep Aquitaine. :)
Moodyblues is th' Baroness of Wertheimstein.
Elessar is th' Count of Tyrol.
Say is an Archduchess of Austria.
Farquhar is th' Margrave of Styria.
DD is still th' Lord Chaimberlain.
Zelly is also an Archduchess of Austria. :)
I think those are all th' titles which had a need of replacement, I fain entreat someone tell me should I have carelessly overlooked any. :)

Indeed, it would. *bows* *changes siggy* :P
I would ask if I may keep the Marquess of Pembroke as it was the first title given to me by my dear Empress? (...though I believe this would then be a matter of mixed peerage *wonders about the historical existence of persons with peerage under multiple sovereignties*)
Yes, of course you may. :D

Though I actually think there were a few. :) I recall one noble having both a French and a Dutch peerage, though I fear I cannot recall his name at this time. :-\
Since it were not just a title, buth more of a function, I will also retain my previous position. I am not noting this function in my sig line because of the nature of the function. 8)

Now I have a Very Long way to go till the next one.
Maybe by next year... :-\
I appoint Petra Rocks regent of this threade shouldst He so be deigned to accepte.
By proclamation of Their Graces, th' joint regents of th' Holy Roman Empire and all dominiuns belonging unto Their Illustrious Persons:
A dual coronation shallst take place ere a fortnight is up,
it shallst be either on MSN or AIM and both regents of this
threade wouldst be extremely honoured if 'twere possible to
count on thy attendance. :D Th' exact time hath yet to be
arranged.
D.I.
I would be honoured to be able to attend this event. However, with such little information I cannot confirm anything. :-\
YAY! XD If it's MSN I'll try to be there. :thumbsup:
8)
I'm very pleased to hear it. :D It shall most likely be this weekend. :)
Sorry, I'm booked till Feburary 14. Of course I have free time THAT day... ::)
And swearing fealty to me won't be necessary on further thought as you've acknowledged me as a sovereign for nearly a year. :)
The coronation's postponed as one of the regents will be absent this weekend. :)
I suppose that's good as I was about to have to post that I couldn't make it due to the fact that my testing starts next week and I'll have to study.
Aww. :-\ I wish you the best of luck, though you'll doubtless not be in need of it. :) I hope you can make it when it is. :)

After traveling weeks trough the dark lands I present thou the lost armor. It is said that the wearer of it gains enormous strength and is almost unbeatable.
It is made of dragon scales. Created by the elders using the hammer of purity.
Looks cool Icarus. :thumbsup:

It is cool too. Trying to wear it at work. And I can tel you it works definatly as a protection. some guys at work hit me whit a cable as thick as a fist. I could feel if but it hurt lesser than when I didn't worn the armor.
And yet, thou presenteth it me? :o I thank you, though such a gift can scarce be repaid in but grants of titles and land, yet 'tis but that which I shall give to thee. *presents Icarus with the title of Margrave of Brandenburg*

Mylady I heard many stories about this "mythical" armor. To solve those myths for once and for all I went on a quest searching for answers.
after many houres in thou greatest libery I went searching behind the dark lands. Toste where dark days traveling and insdead I heve met many enemies.

Can we get Oldbushie whit us. The cookies will surely help to solve this trouble whitout anyone harmed at both sides.

La Guerre Civile est mort, vive le reine. :o ;D
Quote from: Petra Rocks on May 15, 2007, 06:02:21 AMvive le reine. :o ;D
Now I'm not big at/on(?) French, but since 'reine' is feminine, should that be 'vive
la reine'? 8)
::) *wasn't going to say anything*
Yes, it should be "la," not "le."
Mmmmm... etymology:
The Latin demonstratives ille, illa, illud are the source of the personal pronouns and definite articles: thus, il, elle, ils, elles, le, la, les; el, la, los, las, el, ella, ellos, ellas.
hmm... too much information... I suspect. ;P

That's why I like English, there only one 'the'. ;D
Considering that some females have been crowned king (Jedwiga of Poland being one such example) in order to emphasize their titles, I should wonder if exceptions were not made in reference to their particular cases (not the nouns themselves, of course).
(Though this is, of course, irrelevant to what Petra said.)
Considering Jedwiga's life after that, I have to wonder how long she kept the title. ;P And I made a grammar mistake, which is a little embarrassing as Deloria just told me about the masculine\feminine pronouns a few days ago. :P
About five months. XD Though she apparently kept her royal rights, I don't think she was considered regnant thereafter. :P
Milady, what hath become of the English in thy threade? Seemingly, it hath become corrupted with all manner of foul slangs and petty local dialects. XD :suffer: Surely this ist no manner in which a court shouldest perform its affairs. :P
XD XD Indeed not. :D I should insist the Brandish declensions be used, but for fear that everyone would stop posting here alltogether. ;P Therefore, I shall merely humbly request that we return to the well-beloved Middle English. :D

Of course. But lest this courte become marred as such again, I'm afraid I should be unable to allow it gladly in this threade. :P

I believe we are joint regents, according to our signatures, of the Holy Roman Empire, yet I alone reign over Pictavia and Dalriada. Though 'twas once foretold that I should give up my regnant titles for those of a consort.

I recall, I do need Lady-in-waiting, if it please you to take that post. :D Of course, thou shouldst also be a Margravine regardless of whether thou choosest th' post. :)
I daresay I should love to be a Lady-in-waiting! :D
I am most pleased to then consider you among my peers. :D
I am honored. :)
It hath been quiet here of late.... I wonder where hath everyone gone(takes a seat) no matter, I shall wait here for milady and all of the other good knights.
*makes her inclines*
I await the return of my royal favourite ere the celebrations may begin.
Until then, I offer optional entertainment in the form of Middle English poetry to my court. :)
http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/teams/allitfrm.htm
Sorry, but I'm not into poetry that much. ;]
I'm having a pretty hard time getting past the Middle English. XD
And of course it's fine. :)
We could look at that rather than old business letters next if it pleases you milady. XD
Thanks but no, that actually has footnotes for every other word and it ruins the fun. XD It was still most kind of you to offer. :-*
Your majesty, it is I, Daventry of Dark. I hath returned from a very longeth trip. I was unexpectedly cast through a dimensional portal by none other than Mordack himself. I was trapped in a rift for nearly a thousand years, their time. Here, it would be only months... To be quite honest, I hath forgotten some of my times here in reality. Please, do refresh my memory. I remember serving you, proudly, but I hath forgotten what position I held. I return with glee to protect you, and aid you, in combat. My magick powers hath grown exponentially, and I hath met other descendants of Merlin. I can now see through the deceptions of enemy forces, greatly aiding you in times of need.
*bows* I, Daventry of Dark, hath returned to aid Her Royal Highness! ;)
Daventry D'arc! :D Indeed, if my memory deigned to serve me, formerly you were a courtier and lord chaimberlain whilst I remained Queene of the glorious realm of Pictavia. Whereas now, I am Empress Consort of the Holy Roman Empire, if it please you, I should be most honoured if you were to grace my court again with such or similar rank. :)
The honour is mine, thy queene! In mine own eyes, thine shall'st always be queene. I hath returned, for the time being, to grace your court, and protect you. I pledge to protect thou who was once a most holy queene. Long live Queene Deloria of Pictavia! *bows with sword jutted in ground* ;)
;] Your display of patriotism is truly touching. I welcome you back to court. :D
On a totally unrelated note, what is thought of my Talossan arms? XD
If milady is still a Yorkist, at least she has gotten over Margret of Anjou enough to not puncture fleur-de-lis. :D Sorry, I had to say that. ;P They really do look splendid. :D

XD XD XD Yes, I've at long last gotten over my fleur-de-lys stabbity complex. ;P :D Thanks. :)
Thy arms arth fitting, your majesty. The clan of Merlin hath announced that Queene Deloria of Pictavia is to be awarded for her display of great leadership, and for her hospitality of Clan members who hath been hunted by enemies. Thy clan is forever in your debt. They hath awarded me for my display of loyalty and passion for thy kingdom, and her most gracious queene. The ceremony is to be held at the dawn of Christmas Eve. Milady, I must leave for a short while, as I explore my clan's history, and determine what hath happened to Merlin. Some say that he hath been reincarnated into one of his children, my side. It is a possibility that either I or my brothers be a reincarnated Merlin. My side of the clan shows an exponential magical ability unheard of in the world of magic. I bit you farewell, for the moment, thy queene. Stay strong!
I wish thy luck in thy queste, Daventry D'arc.
I hath no particular thought on thy arms. (That is neither negative nor positive, it just shows I have no artistic talent, or feeling in that particular field.)

Though I shouldst perhaps request thy assistance for th' daunting Middle English version of Hypnerotomachia (which may or may not be spelled correctly ::)) if we have the time for it next we speak.
I should be honored, milady. :)
I thank you. :)
I would like to dedicate my next rank-changing post to my Queene, without whom I would never have come this far. :P
Thanks Deloria, you really are a great friend. :D

I may have said this before, but I'll say it again cause it's amazing, but its so awesome how mature Deloria is! I can't remember if I knew how old she was before but at 15, I think of her as alot older than that cause of the way she acts here. Kudos to you! ;D
Indeed she is. I hadn't even noticed she was only 15 before I looked at her profile just now due to what you posted. She acts as though she's in her early 20s or at least 18. ;)

*sighs* Since I'm too lazy to figure out how to capitalise a cedilla on this keyboard, I shall have to make due with English, but I did want to reply in French. :P
Apart from a random part of me being slightly irritated with our learning the vocative forms of adjectives as well (which must be the most ridiculous idea anyone has ever had... :P), well enough. :)
How goes Greek? :D

The vocative may be left to stand by itself once its rules of syncretism have been explained:
it is in all declensions the same form as the nominative save in masculine nouns of the second in -us, wherein it has the inflection -e for nouns in -us and -i for nouns in -ius (and meus). It is fairly unnecessary to teach it alongside the adjectives... it is far more reasonable to introduce it immediately with the nominative and then explain its peculiarities in the second declension when one at last arrives at -us verbs of the second declension. :P

It goes... I feel now that I must double back and relearn some idioms and a good bit of vocabulary as last night the Greek expression for "how are you?" had escaped me... (I caught it though :P: "Πως εχεις;") Now is indeed a good time for this as I feel I have a good handle on the conjugations which I have been doing recently (they are all of largely "irregular" verbs).

Forgive me, I may have been ambiguous.

Yes. Vocabulary is important. It is my feeling that one acquires a small set of functional vocabulary and an important set of sentence patterns as one first learns the grammar and then one may return to learn whatever vocabulary one likes. This works far better for independent study as one is learning the vocabulary one likes and is likely to use. It is not so effective for learning from books in a classroom setting as the rest of the class and the teacher would all hope that they do not have to wait for half an hour while you pick the right form from your pocket dictionary (less of a problem when one works alone ;P).

I shall try to keep from doing so.
Milady, I hath returned (again). I come bearing news from thy kingdom of Daventry. Thou art to be honoured for thy kindness as a ruler. King Graham wishes you appear as soon as possible, as the ceremony is set to begin next week. The journey may be long and perilous, but Graham hath appointed me thou's enchanter and protector. Using thine Magick of Ancient Merlin's Clan, I can protect thee from harm. I am incapable of magickaly transporting anyone but thy own self. Graham and the royal family await thee, my Queene Deloria! *bows to her majesty and positions Magick staff aloft* Also, within thy Clan of Merlin, I hath been given a new rank. Before I wielded a wand made of the purest woods, but now I bear a Magick Staff made of the finest Enchanted Woode in all the land. This Enchanted Wood is good for transforming my staff into a sword. It is capable of a preset transformation I determine. I hath decided that the sword of a Noble Knight is best suited. Milady, dost thou accept His Majesty's royal invitation?
/me wholeheartedly agreeth with Delling about your appearance on photographs
DD: shouldn't the exact starting of the ceremony be determined by the guest of honor, i.e. Our Queene?
If thou are magickaly transporting, what dangers may thou face?

Regrettably most things in the US are. Which is why I like Europe so much better. That and the fact that they keep their old buildings and not bulldoze them to build something new. Like when they were going to tare down the Belleview Biltmore Hotel, one of the largest wooden buildings, for no reason and build a new Hotel.
Thankfully the people picked the place and finally got it put on the Historic Places Registry so it can't be torn down.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belleview_Biltmore
Actually, after I posted that, I remembered there are a few little odd pieces around Tech I should take pictures of to show you guys (some sculptures here and there, nothing much or nearly as exciting as the basilisks and castles... more amusingly out of place).
I've love to see them whenever you get a chance. :)

Most welcome. :D Yes, you seem to have seen more castles than even I, so it hardly comes as a surprise that this one is not new to you. :P Still, the Black Forest does have some lovely architecture. :D

At such time I, as the Count, shalt take it upon myself to make a reckoning of the amount produced and have it recorded for her grace.
Initial tests have been unsuccessful - I created cold instead of gold. Back to the drawing scroll!
Get thee hence! :stop: Thy cold ist catching! :sweating:
I don't have thy cold yet, are you successful yet?
My Queene, I'm afraid I haven't succeeded in making gold yet. I have, however, happened upon a method for making golden pancakes! :D (From Joy of Cooking)
http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/47/Basic-Pancakes
PANCAKES OR GRIDDLE CAKES
About sixteen 4-inch pancakes
Here is the classic all-American pancake, the basis for seemingly endless variations.
Whisk together in a large bowl:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Combine in another bowl:
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs
(1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Mix the liquid ingredients quickly into the dry ingredients - just enough to combine. Batter will be lumpy. Use 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook on a griddle or in a skillet with a little bit of oil. When bubbles rise to the tops of the pancakes, flip them with a spatula and cook them on the other side.
Now, for those of you who use metric measurements:

No, it's not a 3D model, it's a picture of a real building. It's just the way they painted the building - the sharp contrasts - that make it look like a 3D model.
Speaking of which, the colours were well chosen. It's quite a lovely residence, your highness.
