Re: Post Your Pictures!
I went chasing Northern Lights this evening, but it was a bit too clouded, meaning they reflected the moonlight a bit too much to see clearly. Also, the clouds were definitely too dense near the horizon to pick up any form of glow.
Still, the moon looked kind of nice!

Re: Post Your Pictures!
That there can be such a small difference between angels and demons, @Zeheia, is quite incredible. Your picture reminded me of my own when she was little, many many years ago:

Re: A Comprehensive Request Thread for new Aetolian Items (starting with the best one!)
Mrenadh has always been connected to glass and crystals. Maybe they could come up with a new technique and name this after their home? Mrenite, maybe?Safiya said:Tacking on one of my own desires:
Can we please introduce opalite as a crafting material to Aetolia?Opalite is a special man-made glass that is primarily blue but reflects colors of yellow, orange, pink, and occasionally green. Transparency ranges from cloudy (giving it more of a pale, milky color) to nearly transparent.It can be used to make cups, as focal points in jewelry, and even be chiseled like volcanic glass into small blades.My request is that it has a unique Aetolian name. I'd love to hear suggestions!

Re: Arbre Aquila
So, uh, hi. I wanted to do this on the proper profile, but evidently retiring your character locks you out of posting as them on forums. Imagine that.
So yeah, I'm Arbre. I didn't tell many people who I was when I started playing Tsarra because I wanted to look at the world with fresh eyes. But in the FOURTEEN years I've played Aetolia, I feel like I've run it into the ground. Arbre's still the best thing I've ever built, but as long as I kept her alive, I'd never move on. So I retired her. A little later I missed RPing so I pulled everything to Tsarra and started playing off and on.
But I haven't felt that draw to the game since then. And that urge to RP? Maybe it was just an urge to WRITE at all? Because in the last week I've knocked out 1,300 words in something that is swiftly turning an idea I'd played around with for years into an actual novel. And I'm much more proud of that than I ever was Arbre. So I guess that's good.
Anyways, it's 2am and I'm wide awake and I just thought I'd say goodbye. I've already tapered out of the game, I'll taper out of the forums soon too. In any case, I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
I just wanted to say thanks to so many people who have, throughout the years, made Aetolia into a sweet memory for me. I'm not even gonna try to name names, I'll miss someone and hate myself for it. If you ever want to talk to me, I'm Arbre#9150 on Discord.

Re: LOVE
@Benedicto Can you find a youtube of a crowd to put up on mute to watch while you film, I wonder? You did absolutely lovely and your singing and speaking voice is delightful btw!
You mentioned being more comfortable in front of crowds, though, so I wonder if you can simulate the crowd and get a little bit of that feeling for yourself in front of the camera so it feels less weird.

This peaceful illusion is my younger child at rest. You can tell it's an illusion because she's actually a small demon when awake.

Re: LOVE
I didn't know where else to put this so I'm going to slot it here.This was a lovely surprise to find on the forums. Your nerves show, but that's okay. You know what they say about practice.
I've been out of work since March last year. The UK has bounced from lockdown to lockdown and unfortunately, the events industry that I work in has suffered tremendously. Since March last year I've managed to complete 3 gigs and many musicians and technicians I know have had to retrain or get new jobs elsewhere.
We're now nearly a year down the line and I'm still just about hanging on but I was always too nervous to do any recording or streaming from home like a lot of other musicians. For some reason, I can go out onto a stage in front of a few thousand people and be fine, however, the thought of recording and filming myself at home terrifies me.
I finally took the plunge last week and I wanted to share with you my second video that I've now put up. It's by no means perfect as I'm still getting used to the software, mixing and filming - none of which I've ever done before.
That being said I'm grateful for the support I've received from people who saw the first video and who have yet to see this next video. I'm grateful and want to show my love to the Aetolians that have been helping me through this last year and so I'm giving my fellow Aetolians an advanced look I guess! I hope you enjoy it!
Don't be afraid to show us more! We'd love to see it.

Re: Do old houses have a heaven?
As I understand it, I can't do anything to a retired player's stuff by their request. It's locked down, and the only reason we leave houses connected is just time/niceness.
