Popping out from my retirement cabin in the woods to congratulate Parhelion and Zagreus on their ascensions. The two of you were always key people in my own time in the game, and I cannot think of two more deserving people to have achieved this honour.
Also while I'm here, hi folks. Won't be coming back but I'm fine and well, and hope you are all handling this absolute mess of a year as best as possible!
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
I think most important advice I can give to being a guild leader or leader in general is to not seek personal importance or permanence in the tasks or things you implement within a guild because you are seeking to matter irl. When you set out to make changes is it to improve the player experience or satisfy fulfillment within yourself.

I get it, Lusternia. I logged off with astral corpses in my inventory again. You dont have to tell me 100+ times.
Her voice firm and commanding, Terentia, the Even Bladed says to you, "You have kept your oath to Me, Parhelion. You have sworn to maintain Justice in these troubled times."
Yet if a boon be granted me, unworthy as I am, let it be for a steady hand with a clear eye and a fury most inflaming.

EDIT FOR LESS SNARK
That sucks. Here, use this to help!
Yeah, this will likely not help as much as you think it will

@Carakhan's writing is so evocative it always makes my mind race with new ideas and the desire to actually finish projects. I hope we see more of you soon, Mermom, you're missed!
Lirangsha is one of the most IC vs OOC conflicting quests I've seen. From an IC perspective (and my harmony loving heart) I want the lirangsha people to be happy and save, but from the players perspective I want them to be many so I can get more esteem.

Reasons I never try the quest to help them, would like to help them, don't know when someone's going to come along and fix it so it can get back to the good bad state (as opposed to the bad good state)
Messaged. It may be how any 'sensuous' type denizen responds to seduction influence, but that's not something I do often enough to have the lines handy.

It's actually the "brave" type denizen, but yes
You are startled as a lemon meringue pie bounces harmlessly off you after being thrown at you by Mysrai.
Something I was thinking about the other day. Do you write your characters to be a "main" character? The way I've been playing I've had the goal in mind of being a background character for the most part, not taking on any major roles in the world of Lusternia, being something of a comic relief. I thought about making a thread for this but I don't imagine it would get enough interaction.
I totally wrote Yinuish to just be a small character who gave some roleplay and then went away again. But then I met Kistan, actual roleplay happened where he was like 'Let's get married' so then I actually gave Yinuish time and she turned into something more serious. Oops. I'm not sure I'm capable of just playing a roleplay character as soon as some interesting roleplay happens.
I write my characters to be a "main character" for me, but not necessarily for everyone. So they're more like comfortable assistant characters in the world, but I wouldn't consider myself a "main character" in the overarching story of Lusternia.

That's more or less how I feel, too. If a character is my 'main' in a MUD, then they're certainly the 'main character' of their own story, but in the majority of RP scenes, they're not probably gonna be the 'main character.' And to other characters, who are the main characters of their own stories, my character might play a bit part, or be a rival, or a love interest, or a mentor, or a comic relief character, or... any number of things.
I have also made characters to be part of the background, like @Togna said, and I think it can be a lot of fun (and really add a lot to the game world, too, when I'm not the one doing it), so I totally do get it. But for better or worse, I can never really bring myself to do it with a character I 'main.'
Amazing beautiful stunning avatar by Gurashi! ~ A gentle breeze ruffles your wings and whispers in your ears, as if for you alone, "Dragonfly's words shine... seeds, sown and tended, inspire... a forest harvest." ~ Maylea reaches out, Her fingers poised in midair. "Now you are of Me, even more than you were before." Her golden and azure eyes glitter. "Walk well, Eldin. Shed glory in My name, and bring life to the lifeless."

(Okay okay, time to add proper notecards herself.)

You have gained a new honour!
Edit: Also it's a public design, so everybody feel free to enjoy some delicious roast swan.
Lusternia: Hey, did you get my dm?

Czixi, the Welkin murmurs, "Fight on, My Effervescent Sylph. I will be with you as you do."
Aian Lerit'r, Lead Schematicist exclaims to you, "A *paperwork* emergency, Chairman!
The bright, bell-like voice of Coraline rings in your ear, "But the Fates can't hold off the inevitable forever..."
Thanks!
Something smells like oranges. Weird. Must be a good sign for people planning this little festival.
