Reminiscence
Avaris finally got to meet @Lorina , and it was very exciting! They talked
about...A lot of things, and honestly I am too tired to remember or
describe them all, but @Lantra was definitely in there a lot! And
Eventru. And Celest. But mostly Lantra.

person's past and hurts shape them, about @Terentia , about how cool
@Lantra is, etc!

Re: Economy Proposal 2.0
I didn't quote it, but I'll answer the questions here
Will you have access to every spell/herb/potion/poison from the beginning?
Yes, you will have access to the entire skillset once selecting it.
If so, what will be the rate of speed of production at the different tiers?
Details have not been worked out exactly yet, but the goal is that being 100% proficient in a trade without artifacts will be more effective than someone at 0% with artifacts. Ideally, being proficient will take a lot of the 'grind' aspect of things out of it.
If alchemy creations can fail, will it mean a loss of all commodities?
Again, details have not been worked out, but being proficient will ideally mean that you'll have fewer failures. I don't know if we'll go to 0% at 100%, but being proficient will mean less failing. Failing would mean a loss of all commodities in that batch still.
As to the other concerns about relying on other people. Ideally, everyone can select one of these merchantile skillsets for free and instantly start making money from it. Nobody will need to invest credits into these skills before taking them, so more people should be able to take these trades and fulfill them. With proficiency making things better, people won't feel like it's a grind to use these trades and will be more willing to engage in or use them. This will ideally result in having plenty of people around that can provide these goods.
The worst-case scenario is that all these goods will be available via NPC merchants (albeit at higher pricing), so if players -need- something, they can get it anytime they want.

Re: Lack of Raves VI: Rave Today, Tweet Tomorrow
<<< Gentle light fills the cavern, providing scant illumination to the naturally hewn walls and failing to reflect against the milky, opaque pool of water that swirls and bubbles in a slow cycle. Above, a shrine of moonstone hovers: shaped into a sphere like Mother Moon herself, spinning, spinning, spinning. The scene is mesmerizing, its hypnotism enriched by a balm of warmth. And then there, incongruously, a ribbit breaks otherwise silent; for hopping around the pool, awaiting its master once more, is a bright, green frog with bulbous black eyes. >>>
I just like this vision in particular.

Re: Should Your Custom Beast Be Included Into Your Character's RP?
I personally do not use Dusan to rp with, I didn't really find any of his lore compelling enough; I might revamp his lore and character into something else.
However, I use Tsillah (my ink cat dweller, who Alarin hasn't met yet) ALL the time, both to make people happy and also to make them cry. She's one way I show affection to other players because Esei generally isn't like that, and she also has really cool lore. I definitely ripped off Daraius's dog to help make her reactions but imitation is the best form of flattery right.

Re: Lack of Raves VI: Rave Today, Tweet Tomorrow
Oh gosh.
Thank you to those who have supported or made friction for this cross-forest Synl/Xiran relationship over the years. @Aramel. @Raeri. Iola. Laysus to the latter but with much love to the player. Just to name a few Seren-side.
Thank you to everyone who prepared for (Dear Aramel the initiator, @Ferne, @Esei, @Gurashi, @Isser), attended, or peeked into the ceremony on a worknight. Thank you for all the IC well-wishes.
Rave to @Synl who moved along logistics and smoothed everything out. He was Master of Ceremonies on top of doing his ritual.
To whoever in the Havens made things special, I'm very giddy and grateful. Those were beautiful and specific lines.
I got hit with nerves, so thank you to Gurashi, Esei, @Jolanthe, Evette for pitching in with setting things up, breaking the ice, and getting things bustling!
@Xenthos's great presence, oh gosh. Glomdoring contingent made me go bug-eyed. Thanks to @Silvanos, @Huskii and @Tyrus for bolstering Seren numbers! XD /forum-rp Was good to see @Alarin Stormcrow with his comrade.
Thanks to @Sulwh, for smoothly getting Xiran fixed up and back to the wedding. The break injected levity at the right moment and got me over last of nerves.
Thank you to @Evette for perfectly timed officiating. Like bam. I was grinning when the prompt appeared.
Will be cleaning up the logs in the coming days. Thank you all for the fun time!
