[Maxi96203]

Have you guys had to rebuild shit because of the weird map or not? Because when I died in the jungle/mountain biome, it respawned me in a creepy version of the  Monastery where 1 piece of wheat remained from the wheat farm and a random underground room in the mountain. A map glitch basically XD.
Half monastery, half natural. Reason why I had to disband the Monastery ^

Not a map glitch
Monastery's new base is being deleted

[Superblackbiker]

Damn server. Just when I was offering the amazing offer of a servant house to gec, the server closes.

[Ragolution]

What do you mean closes. Usually that's a restart.

[Superblackbiker]

Probably was then, came up again a few minutes afterwards lol.

[Ragolution]

A skill application thread.

[2ktaco]

I will most likely not be able to attend. If I do make it, I will probably have to leave before it finishes.

Ummm I'm not sure actually I asked if I needed a name change and never got a response.

[CPftw]

If your character died then you need a new character. Aceon does not support the NLF.

The Auctus Provectum

TL;DR - This is a steampunk faction.

Historical Primer

The Auctus Provectum is an old faction, a civilization founded before The Great Coming of Aceon- Back when the Imperial Crusade and the High Kingdoms were just vague prophecies and blind musings. Anciently, the Provectum was a vast expanding Empire that ruled peaceably and held human rights in high regard, leading a primitive, but happy life for everyone under their dominion.

About two hundred years later, at the height of the empire and under the reign of Prince Akelarch of The House of Spades, the kingdom took a new direction and threw away its empire for all eternity. Under Prince Akelarch, the kingdom became reclusive and the capitol city began to ignore all communications with its satellites. People outside of the city became worried when the city gates would not open and it seemed as if all the city guards had retired. No one dared siege the capitol and those who voiced such things were shut down by the still-loyal hamlets and villages that dotted the countryside.

Years later, as the people from the distant lands began to invade the noble land of Aceon, the Provectum... simply opened its gates and showed everyone what they had been doing for about six hundred years.

What remained in the villages around the city was tantamount to inhuman barbarism in comparison to all the wonders housed in the Capitol City of Rostock. Technology seemed to have advanced in a vacuum and the Architecture of the city almost felt alien to anyone who knew what the stark stone edifices of the old Provectum had looked like.

Still, it was now that the House of Blades had taken power, and with the old objectives of Prince Akelarch under wraps, the house of Blades always focused on one thing: Military Might.

Such an amazing combination of brutality and technological advancement exuded a curious, almost eager display of nationalism and patriotic fervor. The sky-tower houses that were inhabited by the rich were dotted with banners of wartimes and tinctures of gold, whereas the poor of the lower city still obscured their windows with propaganda and the Autocrat clogged the mail systems with well-wishes marked to look as if they were sent by relatives. Mechanical creatures decked with weapons crept the streets noisily and steaming engines mounted on the aft of minecarts signaled the start of the work day.

Currency/Economy


The Provectum is a monetary society and has a currency completely different from the rest of Aceon, making it strange and indeed hindering their trade. All persons who have gold, silver or copper (redstone) is able to turn them in for paper money in the Provectum. All monetary values are kept in check by the Polyarch of the House of Jewels.

Current Exchange Rates

1 gold dukod = 8 silver dukod | 1 silver dukod = 45 copper idik

2 gold ingots => 1 gold Dukod

8 iron bars => 1 Silver Dukod

1 Redstone Powder <=> 1 Copper Idik

Dukods, similarly, can be used to purchase gold at the Royal Treasury if it is so required.

Political Structure


There are four important political seats in the Provectum

Autocrat - The Ruler of the Provectum. His word is law. Only by trial and extensive political process can an autocrat be removed. Generally refered to as "Prince" or "Princess", those who take this title are the exclusive monarch for their lifetime. Autocrats who are deposed or step down are still called "Prince(ss)" and the Autocrat in power will be referred to as "Autocrat" or "Master" until the Prince(ss) dies.

The Council of Polyarchs - A group of three representatives, each one is always the leader of one of the three Political Houses. They act as advisors to the Autocrat and can begin any deposing or impeachment actions with a 100% agreement.

The Ministratum - Innumerable ministers and political aides dedicated to carrying out the Autocrat's will. Minsters can be mining overseers, factory managers, farm owners, union leaders and more. Ministers are never from any of the Three Houses and can overrule the Polyarchs with a 85% agreement.

Three Strong Houses dominate the political landscape of the Provectum, each is steeped in centuries of history and power-struggles and maintains its own private army and mansion;

The House of Spades -  A political entity dedicated to the advancement of labours and of technology. These people believe that technology will free humanity from its shackles of greed, jealousy and ill-will.

The House of Jewels - A political family dedicated to the amassment of wealth and jewels. This family, as that is what it has always been, firmly believes that with money comes power and with power comes prosperity.

The House of Blades - The once-declining house, the House of Blades believes Military might is what is needed to conquer everyone, and thus free the nation and people from their insecuries. The last time the House of Blades held seat of Autocrat was before Prince Akelarch was born.

The many houses not mentioned here are called "Weak" houses and have likely never taken the throne of the Autocrat.

I was thinking about bringing it back.

[Beano]

I'm for it

[Ragolution]

I mean I'm not going to use exactly this, I'm going to revive the spirit of it.

It may or may not be a steampunk faction, it may or may not be an empire, it may or may not be an offshoot of the original AP like rebels or some shit.

[CoolFeerman]

This idea puts the AP in DEAP.

Official Faction Name: The College of Summoners and Evokers
Abbreviation/Tag: TheCollege
Leader (Format - OOC : IC ): Edvyn : Adraman Vextor
Guild Rank: Adepts > Initiates > Mercenaries > Slaves
Associated colors/Heraldry: College wizards often have shaved heads, arcane tattoos adorning their body, and wear red robes.
Roster:
Adepts: Edvyn
Initiates: stormcat2248
Slaves:
Mercenaries: Ironsoul, Bear_Overdrive
Adepts and Initiates MUST be specialists, meaning that they specialise in a certain type of magic. For example, Adraman is a conjuration specialist. You could specialise in any type of magic, some examples being elementalism, evocation, illusion, enchantment or natural magic.
Short Description: TL;DR evil slaver wizards
Background (Optional): One of the most feared and expansive mystical societies in Aceon, The College of Summoners and Evokers - often known as "The College" is home to insidious masters of the occult who are experts in their chosen field. The college has outposts spanning various areas of the world, which are mostly closed-off to non-wizards outside of mercantile and slave trade. Wizards of The College are known for being ruthless, willing to lie to, cheat, backstab and utterly destroy their rivals in their lust for power. A strict but simple hierarchy governs The College, separating wizards into Initiates and Adepts - Masters and Students. Few wizards become adepts, and those that do garner formidable reputations and heightened magical insights.

I'm experiencing ridiculous amounts of lag that are making things unplayable - is anyone else experiencing this problem? The lag has made me lose a diamond pick, and lots of cobblestone which took some time to mine.

[SteelRonin]

I wish to order an official complaint against the higlander faction, who have taken my faction soil without permission, after an extended period of time of Being away because of IRL reasons. i want said faction to give back my soil, and have my faction restored, i also want the mountain restored to its original state.


Good F*cking day gentlemen.

That sounds like a factional dispute. I think you should do something to get back at them.

And totally not start a war because that's not at all what I'm implying.
