SUMMER

Angkar: Wet season. Precipitation is common during the late afternoon and evening hours. Vegetation grows significantly during the summer, but flooding is a danger due to the monsoons that ravage the country. The rainforest sees evenly distributed rainfall throughout the season.

Ashoka: Desert: Extremely hot and dry. Violent, heavy downpours following long dryspells. Jungle: Hot and humid with frequent, violent rainstorms.

Morrim: Relatively hot and dry, but with a chance of thunderstorms from time to time. The heat may cause forest fires.

Soto: Hot and humid, tree cover is dense while ground growth is restricted. Thunderstorms see the most amount of rainfall during the season, and it can be very windy. On occasion, there are flash floods that can destroy homes and farms built on flood plains.

WHAT IS ELENLOND?

Elenlond is an original free-form medieval fantasy RPG set on the continent of Soare and the Scattered Isles, which are located to the south in the Sea of Diverging Waters. The four chief nations of the western side of the world—Ashoka in northern Soare, Soto in western Soare, Morrim in eastern Soare, and Angkar, the largest of the Scattered Isles—continue to experience growth and prosperity since the fall of the Mianorite gods, although power struggles within the countries—or outside of them—continue to ensue.

  • CURRENT EVENTS

    Angkar: To honour the reinvigoration of the ancient city of Mondrágon, the majestic Queen Eulalia has permitted the opening of a Coliseum where people from around the world and all walks of life can test their combat skills against one another. Many have already done battle in search of honour, glory, prizes and money.

    Ashoka: In an otherwise peaceful times, Ashokans are beset with the relatively minor inconveniences of wandering undead and occasionally-aggressive giant rock worms. There has also been some controversy over the recent re-legalisation of human sacrifice.

    Morrim: Rumour has it that Emperor Leofric de Hollemark is mustering forces for a war. Though the threat from Soto’s forests has passed, the forces previously employed in watching the forest now linger at the border. Rumours also circulate of a small group that has been dispatched to make contact with the tribes of the Do’suul Mountains.

    Soto: The Sotoans have defeated the fey and liberated themselves from Méadaigh’s oppression! Preliminary efforts have been made at rebuilding the city of Madrid, which had been captured at the beginning of the war. However, the Sotoans are hindered from recovery famine. Méadaigh’s magic caused summer to persist in the Erth’netora Forest through the winter. Her power has been withdrawn and the plants die as if preparing for winter – even though it is now summer. The Sotoans must sustain off what food they can get, what creatures they can kill and what can be imported into the city from Morrim and Angkar.

    Introduction to Shadow; It's been exactly two years!

    And then she was gone, her hips swinging as the knives jostled her thighs, passing by guards with her head held high, a haughty smile upon her lips.

    Few people know of my Rping background, or of me really. I mean, I don't say very much on the subject. So, I guess, to honour that I've known most of you for two years, I'll tell a bit about myself (ha! Try like... A four-page rant).

    Exactly two years today I joined the original Mianor. I remember quite clearly how it all happened, too. I was on another site and Lum PMed me, telling me of his website and whathaveyou. I probably would have joined, but it was this piece of his message that really made me want to: "Rayne is going to be there. She really misses you.". So, upon receiving the link, I joined.

    My first Rp there (not including the trial I endured for the Water Goddess position, which I lost) was with Evona and Amberle (although it originally was just Evona) following that trial. It was a good Rp, and I do recall that Evona actually healed Shadow. It was a great Rp. I did many more following that, including one with Jaida, one with Sphynx (good times lol, what with the violent conflict between Shadow and Sphynx), and many more. Great times.

    Of course, we've moved around a lot, have had to rebuild, but most of the Rps I did I still do remember. I think some of my fondest ones would have to be Shadow and Alex's wedding (am still very annoyed that I was not able to save that, and that I hadn't thought of it sooner). That Rp was great, what with Toiki's insanity (knocking over an entire table of food, plus the cake, and singing Bibity-Bobbity-Boo while fixing it; pulling Kairen's finger out of the top of her dress with the ring still attached XD), the reactions of those who Rped on it, and whathaveyou.

    My Rp history goes a lot deeper than the two years that I've known quite a few of you. I started originally on a site called Wizard Mansion approximately four years ago (I think it was either just before or just after my twelfth birthday). I had been on the site a good while before beginning my journey into the world of Roleplaying, so. I met a lot of nice people, including Klin, Star, Leay, and many more. And Shadow's first 'lover', in a sense, was in fact Leay. I mean, it wasn't really love since they never went anywhere, but at the same time they did.

    A week into October the site crashed, I was stranded for Rp, and when it returned, it was forcing its members to pay. I was not about to pay for it, so I left, and returned to Neopets (which is where my online life started, ironically enough, lol). After having become good friends with someone in French, I was introduced to a guild where I met Susinia and Desire (whom both are here), as well as many others, and Shadow further developed. It was not until June of that same year (2001) that I was introduced to another website, although much different from what I was used to.

    I didn't join at first, because it had rules, and I had not been subjected to rules pertaining to Rping up until that point. So, that meant I could make my one-liners, and I could do whatever I wanted spell-wise. It was weird stepping into a site where rules had been set down, for magic and for many other things. It was there that I actually met Sphynx, as well as Lum. The former contacted me upon reading my description and proposed to the other administrators that I be given magic, because what I had was unique (or so I think that was the basis of it).

    I did join Sphynx's Kingdom (it was set up somewhat similar to this, but with only the four major elements plus Time), which, at the time, was run by her character Rayne, who was leading Water. Interesting change of pace for me, of course. The site was eventually moved to its own domain, which led me to join Mianor thereafter, more or less because I had lost contact with Sphynx and it was another site to join.

    And, with all of the history, I'm here.

    Well... I guess I could give a little more background information on Shadow, since apart from the description, there isn't much on her personally. She was my very first Rp character, and the name was not originally mine, but my best friend's (Kit/Toiki/Thraeyo). I sort of snatched it since mom snatched mine, but the score has since been settled (she used Aeries' name for a site XD). Shadow actually began as a very heavy fan-based Zelda character (and when I say heavy, I mean it). It wasn't until a year or so later that I finally dropped that aspect of her (or rather, the lasting traces) and took her in an entirely different direction. One of the most interesting changes I made was doing a complete reversal of her elemental powers. She used to be a Fire Elementalist, but upon joining the site where I had met Sphynx, became a Water Elementalist.

    She's had Mystic since I began (way back when she was a Dragonlord, of which she is not anymore), although Mystic wasn't a pegasus till an actual Rp. Evidently I changed this, since I wasn't overly fond of the sudden change.

    She's still my favourite character to date, my oldest, and the one that has changed the most.

    Mmm... Mwee~ I guess I could give a bit of information on myself XD I'm fifteen (sixteen in a week), live in Canada, and have been using the internet for approximately six years now. Or almost, anyway. In music terms I'm more of an Alternative/Rock person, with the odd pop song. I <3 Bon Jovi, Glass Tiger, the Goo Goo Dolls, Sarah Mclachlan, See Saw... Etc etc. Mmmm I've been drawing since I was twelve, so four years this September. And when a person says that they practiced and practiced to get where they are, believe them. Trust me; it's taken four years to get where I am, and it's still not that great.

    Mmm, I've decided that I will be an author in the distant future. I've been writing since I was very young, but it wasn't until grades two, three, or four that I decided I was going to seriously write. My first original story was something pertaining to my beanie babies, followed by its sequel, then Pegasus. Boy... if you could see my writing then and compare it to now, you'd see an immense improvement. Heck, if you could see my first Rp to what I can write now, you'd see something very similar. Writing is my everything: my escape, my joy, my entertainment. I tend to be very morbid, but mom says it's probably mainly due to the shock factor. I mean... to see a person's reaction to reading something disturbing that I've written is of some amusement to me. I think I enjoy describing it as well, since I apparently have this thing for detail (in grade eight I was docked marks for putting too much detail into the shirt I was wearing). If I can't be a writer, I either want to do things pertaining to the computer (web/graphic design) or translate.

    My favourite author is Garth Nix, and my favourite book is Sabriel, and my favourite series is the Old Kingdom one. I absolutely adore Nix's writing, and it has inspired my own many atime. I think one of the best words that I have ever seen in a book by any author would have to be ersatz. Absolutely amazing word, and I have made a point to use it when I can (which is rare).

    Oh... If anybody cares, a picture of me! *Shudder* It was done with the webcam a while back, but I haven't really changed since taking them, so:

    Posted Image

    *Shudder* ._. Yay. Oh, and just as extras!

    Posted Image
    The cat on the left is Molli (larger), and the one on th right is Abbi (smaller). They're both guys, just so you know. Molli was a gender confusion thing, but Abbi... Well, we decided to keep the tradition going XD We took this picture because they look almost identical. Neither of them have 'real' tails, so to speak, because they're manx, so they only have puff balls for tails (well, Molli anyway) that wag up and down. The only real way to tell them apart is that Abbi has a black nose and no white stripe down his face, and that Molli has a pink nose. Molli is mine, and Abbi is mom's.

    Posted Image
    And here they are curled up! They do this a lot. They're brothers, actually... Well... somewhat. You see... Molli's father is also Abbi's father, but Molli's sister is Abbi's mother... so. Really... Molli is more like a bruncle (brother/uncle) to Abbi. It's really twisted, I know. And you can tell Abbi is inbred because... Well... He's not very bright XD Molli is. Molli is able to open a sealed container filled with cat treats by himself, and also knows that if he takes a bouncy ball (favourite toy in the world XD) to the top of the stairs and drops it, it will bounce and he can chase it. He also knows that if he's bored, and he's in my room, the ball is sure to be on my dresser.

    It's too bad I couldn't find more pictures of Molli. He has done some pretty amusing things, and we have pictures of them XD He's actually a really gentle cat. We got him for mice-catching. He did catch a mouse, actually. He snatched it up by the neck between his teeth and walked around with it dangling. When we went to take it away to throw out, the mouse fell and took off. Apparently he had not killed it XD He had just... held it by the neck in his mouth. Lol. I love both our cats very much. Besides those two we have a ton of fish, and four birds (Link and Zelda are cockatiels, Kiwi is an Indian ring-necked parakeet, and Gimli/Giblet is a budgy).

    Mmm what else? Hehe... I dunno... Here, have random information!
    - Orion was, at one point, schizophrenic. He actually did swap personalities at random.
    - People constantly mistake me for a guy. I did an Rp once and must have said she at least a dozen times, and the response I got was 'He looks down at him'. I've become used to it, though.
    - Tsuki was, apparently, supposed to be deleted at some point.
    - Orion started out as a goody two-shoes, and is now a complete psychopath.
    - Chase was my second character
    - Orion was my second human character
    - Orion used to have power over Time-related magic, but that was eventually scrapped
    - I used to write one liners, and did not know how to spell or use commas XD
    - Roleplaying has taught me a lot. And I've learned a lot thanks to a lot of the members on this site. Thanks you guys!
    - Chase is Desire's (member of this site) brother

    Mmm if I think of anything else, I'll post it XD Anyway. I think that's it~ Yes... I was bored ._.

    You know, the last time you ranted.... it was about you being quite angry, so this rant is like sweeet shes happy. Anyway Dear I enjoyed reading about you and your "history" so to say. And Nix is a damn amazing author! Your kitties Are pretty! They are so cute~
    What was weird was not but two days ago I was thinkg " Hmmm wonder what shadow looks like in real life?" and then bam there you are, and you are very pretty ( and I mean that in a none lesbianish way... not that I have anything ageinst people who swing that way cuz I dont...)

    Funny I think that neopets was a freaking revolution to half the world, I mean that was my first website... and my first try at rping... and then eventually led me to an rping sight which I tried out for earth goddess.... but then that site was deleted soon after and thats how I found this site which you had created... and you know I was almost not going to join I was so overwhelmed by the rules and figuring out the site. But this has been the best thing I think the internet could have ever given me.

    This site and all these amazing people. I love you all for the millionth time... except for val because hes not here right now so I can talk about him and he wont know :) heh im so evil... no I love you all including val. XD I think your drawing is amazing shadow, you should be well proud of it.

    Huh. That's a lot of information. Makes me think... This October will be the date of my first joining of the s2 Mianor (which, I guess, isn't the original? I have no clue...) Weird. Anyway, that's some interesting information.

    And I agree, the cats are cool.

    ((Short replies, eh? I don't know why he does that to me... I mean, he's a damn good author when he wants to be, but he just needs that confidence-boost, you know? But then, I'm just his Avatar on this site, wo what the heck do I know?

    XD Yeah. I haven't ranted on here because I haven't been annoyed or been thinking of things that relate and/or pertain directly to the site. I mean... at least last time there was something pertaining to Elenlond to rant about.

    XD Lol thank you. And I agree on the Nix thing.

    Aw, thanks! *Does not feel pretty*

    Yeah, Neopets is where I began, although I have little attachment to it now. I tried Rping on it, but I gave up after I did a stupid thing XD I wrote 'Please be illiterate!' under the rules I created for it. So... Just... no more XD

    Aw~ I'm so glad you came ^^ I know the feeling of being overwhelmed by rules. I was afraid of the rules to the first site I joined. I didn't want to mess up, nor did I want Shadow to lose what I had given her, so.

    We love you too, Kari~

    No, the s2 Mianor was not the original. It was the quick remake because the original had been commandeered by Duo.

    XD Yeah... Molli's sister was also Abbi's mother so... It was very disturbing. Try trying to figure it out XP

    I said it was extra and/or random other information XP And they are my pets. And I <3 them.

    Oh... and other random things:

    - I used to be a one-liner-happy person. Most of my posts were one line.
    - I used to swap tenses frequently (past and present)
    - I almost did give up Rping in grade 7 because I managed to do very poorly on a short story where I did swap tenses. It made me realize that writing in present tense (Shadow walks, Shadow says etc) was not my thing. So, I switched to past (Shadow walked, Shadow said) and that made a world of difference. I'm better for it.
