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.

    Art or Science?; (My first experimental rant)
    Topic Started: Dec 15 2005, 07:40 PM (305 Views)

    Warning: This experiment contains ranting beyond all reason, blabbering, and everything boring and stupid. Side-effects after reading this may lower IQ and/or sanity. Viewer discretion is strongly advised. -don't say I didn't warn you! Also, it's understandable if you guys wanna ban me for this ran afterwards. I'm quite okay with that; I posted this, I take responsibility.


    'First off: My definitions/terms that I will use in my rant to give name to topic/subject/situations.
    Friend/s
    - Those who accept me enough to not mind my presence and/or need me to act as a witness, bodyguard or meatshield to a situation.
    Love - The term used to describe the dating and touching.

    'Now for the rant;
    Why the heck do teenagers ALWAYS talk about dating?
    Every single conversation I seem to be literally pulled into consists of 2 phrases and 2 phrases only. They are, "Who do you like?" and/or with a whole-hearted, "You should go out with him/her!" Every conversation I enter, the 'cool groups,' the topics are still the same. Thus began my study within the [outer world].

    'Scientific list of crap;
    My topic of study: Regina-ian Teenagers
    Problem: Why is 'love'(emphasis on the widely-exaggerated emotion) such a big deal within teenagers today.
    Hypothesis: Evolutionized maturing, naive generation.
    Procedure: Submerge self into various conversations during the lunch hour, then take notes on reactions and how often subject is conversed. Press the topic towards subject only if nessisary.

    'The blah stuff;
    ~Starting with my 'cool-friends,' I began my study. They seemed to talk about it for a whole 15 minutes. It was made up of how life as a boyfriend was, and how my other friends should 'go out' with some people. They all acted cooly, the godly slick-ness keeping their social-skills in check from giggling and nerdly. They showed fear, concern and everyone paid full attention. Thereafter, the topic was dropped in on count of shooting people with make-shift slingshots. I have to admit, though, it was fun shooting people with paper. Heh, suckers.
    Conclusion: Cool people are naturally cool.

    ~Next, the nerds. Two of the group were already 'dating,' but patheticly. The male(least I think he is...) was and always is afraid to even touch(as in tap the person on the shoulder) his 'girlfriend'. I was quite surprised, until I found out they've never been on a real date before. A friend was always with them on the date, and not just indirectly-in the background spying. It is pitiful to even listen to these conversations, it really is. Secondly: the rest of the group. One, the one I've known for years, is always following this one nerdy-girl trying to get her to be his girlfriend so he doesn't feel left out. Sadly, she just uses him as free-money. I don't even want to remember what the others are like.
    Conclusion: Don't even try to find out what the nerdly love stories are like.

    ~Finally, the geeks. If anything, these are the closest people to what I am. Gamers, only they're on drugs or something. Frig man, all they talk about is World of Warcraft, and how they pwned some wandering level 60 with their entire level 60 raid(a cluster of groups band together to fight the enemy) party. That, and how they found some epic item. The closest thing I can get that is loosely related to dating/love was, "That NE(Night elf) was effin' hawt!"
    Conclusion: I no longer flag myself as a 'geek'. Just, no. Not until I find more, suitable people to rightfully be called, 'the geeks'.

    Overall Conclusion
    Teenagers seem to react to what they see on television and stories. As a result, the more lonely and peer society-shunned(nerds) seem to focus on delusions about somehow things will turn out to be perfect and themselves becoming great--as seen on television. The cool people are only slightly different.

    In one word: Angst.

    If you're reading this, then your either bored out of your mind and have a strange urge to hunt me down and torture my soul for posting a pathetic piece of crap, or you just zoomed down. Either way, thanks for taking a glance. :D

    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.

    First of all, I would just like to point out that I found it rather interesting, and that nobody is going to delete and/or ban you, given that the rants I've posted are far worse. If you want to see them, go to the Spam. One is entitled Grammar, and then there are two more further back that are fairly distinguishable. If not, read the titles, see what sounds somewhat rant-ish, and then click it and see.

    What I got from this was that you seem lonely. I can proudly say that I'm a nerd, or at least something of one, and have been four the last four years. It's not a bad thing, as I can proudly say that I am certainly not single.

    But may I point out, first of all, that, given your age, dating is not something you want to get into right now. Honestly. Dating doesn't usually last in junior high, and if it does it's only because you've accidentally gotten pregnant or you've accidentally impregnated someone. By the time you hit high school, you have a bit more brains in your head and can make better decisions. It's not worth your time just yet, so don't worry about it.

    Next, people at that age are all over the thought of love. It's when you really start to think about it, and how lonely you are. I know I went at least three years wanting somebody and never getting them. I think the first step is to let go of the fact that you're single and enjoy it while you can. You'll certainly miss it once it's gone.

    Come high school you don't really notice it. People either have a bf/gf or they don't, and that's the end of it. If you get a girlfriend you get one, if you don't you don't. The fact of the matter is, when you're ready to have someone, you'll find them.

    Lol well... that's my shbeel. Sorry there, Fry. Again I found this interesting and certainly not ban-worthy. If you want something like that there will be an abnormal amount of cursing and whathaveyou.

    Well, the only thing I do not really understand there is the difference between the nerds and the geeks, I thought they were the same thing...


    And about dating, you do not need that now, at least, I think, if I really got what you were trying to said everyone has a girl/boyfriend to be a part of a group? or to don't feel like the freak with no girl/boyfriend... Man tell them to grow up and if they HAVE a girlfriend they have the right to touch them without freaking out thinking she will run away screaming.

    Ahem... Shadow is a nerd! >.< and not single! hehehe, new info, everyday.

    I held back on my rant... a bit too much it seems :P
    Anyways, this is really just my view in what High School life is like.

    Lastly, I should rant about the difference between nerds and geeks, but I fear I will warp the angry post into a messed up blab just like I already did :P

    That is really interesting, and just to let you know that highschool isn't the only place where you hear people talking about dating. I've already graduated, and now have a steady job, and honestly, that's all I still ever hear. My gosh, I'm right now fighting with someone over beauty because she thinks that beauty only comes on the surface where I believe that beauty only lies beneath, but I have to admit that I find the debate enjoyable. I was also told from someone that life is more successful when your beautiful which I have to admit that I did once believe her, but now I think she's just full of crap. So I guess I should make the rant.

    What's so important about being beautiful? Geesh...

    Ok, I'm done

    Nerds are people who are into anime and things of that nature. Or people who read or write or you know... do 'nerdy' things, like play video games lol. Geeks, on the other hand, are people who are like... so good at something it's quite frightening. Like computers. Computer geeks are people who are so attuned to their computing world that you kinda have to wonder about their sanity... XD

    *Blink* If you had to get by on beauty alone in the world, the general populace would be screwed.

    High school life sucks. I hate it >.> Immensely.

    And yes, Mars, I am a nerd XD And have been for four years XP As for not being single... Yeah.
