Another Newcomer

[Shilohen McCroix]

"Hmm.." Shilohen thought to himself as he looked down at his map. "This must be the place!"

Shilohen made his way up to the large yet welcoming wooden doors and a guard asked him to state his business.

"Why, sir, have you not heard of my coming? I am none other than Shilohen McCroix, former apprentice of Magister Ingham himself! I have come to s .."

The guard burst out laughing while Shilohen was mid-sentence. Shilohen glared at the guard.

"Oy Siegfried, not another one of them crazy 'mages' have come to serve the Duchy of Wessex!" said a short, yet stout, dwarven guard to his companion who was trying to regain his composure.

Shilohen shook his head and muttered a magic incantation, creating a stream of sparkling lights from his finger. Both of the guards started to laugh at this point.

Feeling defeated Shilohen turned away from the great halls. Shilohen hung his head low and started to walk away.

"I have been a mage's apprentice since I was only five years of age, and for the past twenty years I have learned nothing but parlor tricks! No one takes a young mage seriously. They do not understand my potential!!" Shilohen thought to himself.

"Excuse me sir, but are you here to serve the Duchy of Wessex?" a well-dressed man asked.

"Well, that was the plan.. I hoped to have a place to call home and practice my magic and become a most learned spellcaster. Those guards do not understand the amount of time it takes to realize one's potential as a mage! I have completed my apprenticeship and am now ready to take on the challenge of self-discovery!"

"Indeed, but those of us that are, well, more educated understand your situation. I am sure the great Duchy of Wessex would be more than happy to have a young mage such as yourself as a subject. Come with me into the Reception Chambers and let's get you to fill out some necessary paperwork, mage!"

"Ah, bureaucracy at its finest: paperwork and more paperwork!" Shilohen said as a smile crept across his face. Shilohen followed the man into the Reception Chambers, the guards now emotionless as they knew they would be reprimanded for their display.

((Hello everyone! Hope my story wasn't lame. I debated on writing a story or just coming in all OOC-like, but I figured I'd write a story and try to show my creative side :P

Of course I have to thank Erwin and Sayton, both of whom I met on their GTA server, for telling me about this lovely guild, as I love the concept and hope to become a full member soon! Great thing you have going here guys, and I can't wait to see everything at work in Darkfall!))

[Nira Nathair]

Welcome to Wessex! Please ignore the rude guards; they didn't get supper because of yesterday's incident with a catapult and an unsuspecting dwarf...

[Sayton Reinhardt]

Looking down from his position up on the town walls, Sayton de Gothia noticed a small flickering light from in front of the gates. Upon leaning over the wall for a closer inspection he noticed the figure of a caped man, as well as the two laughing town guards.

"One of those." He thought to himself as he turned his head back towards the landscape that stretched out before him where he stood and the shining sun met his eyes again.

"If so Morgaine wills it." He almost chuckled but restrained himself.

He didn't know much about the schools of magic, but were contented with the fact that Morgaine must have found purpose in them. Although he'd always found the practitioners a bit odd.


((I figured I must try to write at least something, since you showed such a good example. Welcome to Wessex!))

[Aiden Morild]

Sup G

[Duplicarius Dillingham]

Duplicarius strolled up to Shilohen, mumbled some incoherable words and left just as if he had never even appeared.

((Thats my best attempt at rp. I no i own, so u don't have to tell me again.)

[Komako the Hawk]

My quizzical self watches the newcomer enter the Reception Chambers. He is greeted by The Mistress.

"Welcome to Wessex! Please ignore the rude guards; they didn't get supper because of yesterday's incident with a catapult and an unsuspecting dwarf..."

My entertained self takes some time to chuckle at the incident. Nothing more entertaining then an angry midget...

This one... this one will be serving the Lady Morgraine (in all her sunshine)...

The newcomer glances in the direction of my humble self, and I give him a courteous wave. He will be wanting to meet this one...

Is it sad that the first thing I noticed about that picture is the fact that the castle walls have ground-floor windows?

[Dafur Gewissae]

Nice Beric, I lol'd.

[Shilohen McCroix]

(( First Person View as Shilohen meets the well-dressed man ))


((lol, who is that? I assume one of you guys :P Thank you all for the warm welcoming, by the way!))

[Destinova]

It is Elix. I figured the shirt picked out by his mama would have given it away.

[Godric Whitetree]

Welcome aboard, mage! Join us in the Tavern for a little extra RP, if you're up to it.

[Aiden Morild]

Thats a nice shirt, no match for Ben Sherman though

[Sahrumir Allatolah]

haha not that sad, i noticed them after checking out the schveet polo and hat


Sahrumir watches casually, leaning against a wall close to the gate tightening the string on his bow as Shilohen walks by. Sahrumir meets eyes with Shilohen and gives a small nod and an approving smirk to the newcomer.

The Seeker makes tree noises.

Nice work Komako, that's a sharp sig.

Duplicarious, that profile picture is perfect for you. <3

Shilohen, your thread is one of the most popular this week. Congratulations!

Welcome to Wessex! Please ignore the rude guards; they didn't get supper because of yesterday's incident with a catapult and an unsuspecting dwarf...
Those bastards!
Anyway, Welcome to Wessex!

[Erwin Carius]

Erwin de Gothia happens to be standing near by the Sergeant as "the well dressed man" comes back out from the Reception Halls and steps up to them.

"Rats darn it! I won't tolerate such treatment of my apprentices in the future, gosh, teach your men some manners!"

The well dressed man is red in the face and clearly in anger, but, astonshingly, successfully manages to avoid any use of curse words - which is a good thing since curse worlds have a more literal meaning in the mouth of a well trained mage than coming from others.

The sergeant obviously never studies magic:

"Look here dipshit, I do my job and you take that pretty little hat and shirt of yours and wander back to your tower. Ok?"

The well dressed man is boiling with anger, but realises that it would be a bad move to turn the sergeant in to a frog, so instead he mumbles something about the hat and shirt actually being quite expensive and goes back to the mage tower with his tail between his legs.

"de Gothia!" "Go teach those dwarves to use a better tone towards our guests, this is a human city after all... But no more catapulting, you're draining our entire garrison."

Erwin then heads off towards the gates.

"Prepare the large cannon!"

[Aiden Morild]

I also added my own pic, 'cause I wanna be like you Aiden.How you mean ?

[Duplicarius Dillingham]

How you mean ?

I added my own picture cause I wanted 1, and you had one, so i was being like you, cause ur cool and im not. (not rly)


"Rats darn it! I won't tolerate such treatment of my apprentices in the future, gosh, teach your men some manners!"

That's some pretty heavy cursing.

[Aiden Morild]

I added my own picture cause I wanted 1, and you had one, so i was being like you, cause ur cool and im not. (not rly)Sorry Im the party animal not you, therefore im cool

Yes I am "FO RAEL"

[Nira Nathair]

Oh god, not the owls. NOT THE OWLS!!

[Komako the Hawk]

I sense great evil in this thread.

Maybe it was just Elix's shirt. I'm not sure.

[Beric Veincrusher]

This thread should be closed and started over in some proper role play, sorry to say.

[Erwin Carius]

I guess we could just clean out all the unneeded posts and leave only the RP and the pic of the well dressed man. (It helps illustrate the whole RP scenario.)

[Shilohen McCroix]

Haha, well I am quite honored at the attention my post has received. Again thank you all for saying "hi" in your own special ways :D

[Nira Nathair]

I'd recommend continuing the RP in the Bivouac (http://www.duchyofwessex.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12) forum. It has fewer owls.

[Aiden Morild]

Whats arrrr pee ?

[Elix Eviear]

Good sirs, I believe this was the well dressed wizard. Damn I love that alligator.

It's a shame what happened to my cousin, now in bed next to a priest hoping his legs and back gets better.

[Aiden Morild]
