Re: the queen's proclaimations
heehee technically he is a shoulder golem, i believe....
the parrot is the avatar and visible symbol of our long lost but still praised great god illy. illy, jr. is the good angel on my shoulder, leading me to do what i can for the betterment of my beloved blight, as the holy one would want.
but, as we all know, there can be no good without evil -
the golem is hedley (mel brook's fans will recognize that it is NOT hedy!). he whispers the dark side in my ear. sometimes, tho, sometimes - his evil word is what is needed for a situation.
so i must struggle with all rulerz dilemma - how to do evil for good reasons, and how to balance the good with that little touch of needed evil.... :eek: :p :D

THE QUEEN DECLARES A STATE OF MOURNING!
last night, the crown's idol and hero died and we are plunged into deep grief.
george carlin died of heart failure at the much too young age of 71.
we mourn his passing and fear we must now carry on his message but without his guidence.
worship the sun but pray to joe pesci for the alledged soul of our beloved father in comedy and wisdom......
Re: the queen's proclaimations
Sorry to hear him pass, he was the single greatest comedian of all time and wise beyond anyone's years.
Re: the queen's proclaimations
the crown declares itself once again in deep awe and gratitude at the generousity of blight's inhabitants.
the mighty vice god, elek the great, gifted us beyond the call of duty for our birthday, the least gift being a dark green yew fine heavy crossbow (triple teched at t5). the magnificence of elek's generousity is beyond the crown's poor vocabulary. he is truly a god of illy's quality.
equal in our heart if not our eyes as well, is our always and forever beloved ry. blight's mistress of craft graciously bent one of her cardinal rules and completed the jman mill and confws remod at the palace. again, there are no words adequate to express the affection we have for her!
let all know the crown considers elek and ry to be the emperor and emperoress of blight, and may they reign forever!
Re: the queen's proclaimations
the crown commands all blighties unite in congradulations for the new adult, drax!
the queen was honored to be among those who witnessed the rite in new rachival, where the hatchling was moved to perform the rite in a place of warm memories. we particularly enjoyed the pre-transition snowball fight, and hope it becomes a tradition.
we declare drax to be an adult subject of blight, with all the rights and responsibilities that position entails!

Re: the queen's proclaimations
Re: the queen's proclaimations
the crown was honored to be given a personal guided tour, by mighty, of his new home in north crystal.
the queen is in awe of the neighborhood our illustrous dragon has designed and created. mighty is quick to point out that he did not build totally on his own, and that our most beloved subject, ry the master of crafts, contributed her more than fair share of the final project.
we are more than pleased to see all the beautiful plots our hardworking subjects create and name mighty's north crystal plot to be a jewel in blight's crown!
all hail mighty and ry for their continued excellent efforts in the beautification of our great realm!!
this is the proud owner posing in one small area of his plot. notice the houses lined in rows and grids, as befits a proper neighborhood. mighty tells us that he is going to place a courtyard near the entrance of the plot to gladden the eye even further!

Hearty congratulations to both Drax and Mighty! :)
Re: the queen's proclaimations

the crown is pleased to announce our new herald! Honored galcamder, old friend to blight newly returned from excile, has taken up the herald mantle!
the crown commands all blighties to read the herald's words when they are posted anew!
welcome to galcamder and many thanx for spreading the good news of blight!
hear ye!!! Hear ye!!

THE QUEEN BEGS THE INDULGANCE OF HER DRAGON SUBJECTS WITH LAIRS!
we have recieved a wish from a person we admire greatly and we desire our loyal dragons to help if they can!
honored peladon of order desires to look upon the new lair murals. any lair owner who has placed the new murals, please post screenies of how they look when placed.
several denizens of the live shards do not have access to the ability to purchase a lair and test this and would greatly appreciate seeing them before they go live.
please create or post to a thread dealing with this subject on the general forums if you decide to provide the screenies.
thank you so much in advance, my beloved blighties, for your assistance in this matter!

Elder and wise... to admire the least is to show recognition of all, for all others be greater. To honour one who has had honour taken is to express nobility and grace. To take action in such a matter, and at the words of one Fool... my thanks indeed for those that have sought, and my gratitude sincere.

Re: the queen's proclaimations
thou wishst to name thyself fool? then i will call thee so, as is thy whim, but know this, most foolish thunder, that mine and thine's definations of fool may be vastly different!
the queen believes 'The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing' - art not then, by thy own words, the wisest of us all?
might not this describe thee as well?
The Fool is the spirit in search of experience. He represents the mystical cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. The sun shining behind him represents the divine nature of the Fool's wisdom and exuberence. On his back are all the possessions he might need. In his hand there is a flower, showing his appreciation of beauty. He is frequently accompanied by a dog, sometimes seen as his animal desires, sometimes as the call of the "real world", nipping at his heels and distracting him. He is seemingly unconcerned that he is standing on a precipice, apparently about to leap, engaged in the supremest act of idiocy or trust.
or this?
In universal literature, The Fool would be considered the youngest son or daughter who accomplishes great feats despite the apparently better position of older siblings.
no, no my beloved fool, we decree we believe thee to be of the following nature, and ever think of thee thus:
The Fool makes a profound statement, it seems to me, dropped in amongst the kings, queens, and powers of the cosmos. All the other cards are in competition with each other in the game; each player hopes their card will "triumph" over those of others, and much distress results if a valuable card is beaten and taken. But the Fool alone is not in competition; he's outside the game. In every hand he appears once, somewhere, unpredictably, never taking anything and never being taken. He just is. Total humility bestows invulnerability.
we say thou art worthy of all manner of admiration and honor, and will not hear otherwise from any - the least of all, thee!
:D :p :cool:
thanx to wikipedia and http://www.tarothermit.com/fool.htm for my examples!
Re: the queen's proclaimations
the queen has recieved a report from the royal ward, the orphan hatchling mourningwood blight the ungifted, concerning events of last night:
i was attempting to fulfill the demands of my dragon trainers when the call went out that terrible monsters of the withered aegis had invaded last stand. being a very young 25 seasons, i, at first, was quite relucant to answer the call, especially since several others much more qualified were in attendance. but the more i heard of the happenings, the more i desired to at least be a witness, however long that would be before i was struck down.
finally, trusting in the might of the gods, i determined i would brave my chances and seek whatever adventure i could get while i could!
i ported to last stand and took a deep breath before running to the fray.
i got as close as i dared to the battle and it was magnificent! i crept closer and closer until, of course, i came under attack!
but, altho i felt the blows, i found i was not dying, indeed i was not taking damage at all!
that decided me! i started to fight back with all my tiny might! the only damage i could do to my foes was with my spiked scales - my weak magic and puny claws damaged them not at all!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/...g?t=1222402142
i was happy to be a distraction and a roving sitrap reported for the defenders -
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/...g?t=1222402212
and i was able to not only see my first avatar of pain, but i was able to battle it (ineffectively, of course) along with its brothers and minions (amimated marrows, i confess, are kewl!) -
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/...g?t=1222402318
my battle bravery and invulnerability did eventually run out and i was killed a couple times. i was forced to leave the battle in the end, and cannot report as to when the mighty defenders finally won the day.
we are proud of our royal ward and praise him for bravery above and beyond his youth! we highly praise the mighty defenders - marsh, colin, eros, and of course, our most beloved and honoured elek - for defeating the most horrible ambush as befits true blighties!
Re: the queen's proclaimations
Congratulations on defending the Blight Realm! :)
Re: the queen's proclaimations
Aww, man! I missed the fun!
Good fight, little Mourningwood, you are a brave little hatchie. :)
Huzzah, strong Elek, Eros and Colin. How dare those nasties think they could attack your home and live to tell the tale!
