Custom faction where you can choose from a few pre-made symbols and make your own title within a certain character limit.

And perhaps a badge that you can only purchase in addons so people can flex their forums affluence. Perhaps this could be in the shape of a money bag.

At the jail, Foxel is upset about the death of his uncle. He has brought in a technical "expert" to help figure out what happened.

Foxel: Do you know why I have had you brought here?
Teigan: I do not. This arrest is highly illegal!
Foxel: Shut it. I can have you brought in for whatever crime I feel like.
Teigan: I am innocent of all crimes.
Foxel: I have evidence that says otherwise. For example, your attempt on the life of Majorhalo three months ago?
Teigan: That wasn't me, that was Arona!
Foxel: I know it was, but the Emperor does not and I have the means to frame you if I so desire.
Teigan (disgusted): What do you want?
Foxel: I need you to go through the surveillance footage at the hospital and see who murdered my Uncle.
Teigan: What makes you think I can do that?
Foxel: Its an easy task. All it involves is rewinding hours worth of tapes and watching them.
Teigan: Sounds like a very lame movie. I'll do it for you, under one condition.
Foxel: You are in no position to make any negotiations here. Now just do it or I will have you executed for the attempted murder of the prince!
Teigan: Fine, scum.
--Teigan leaves the room and starts plotting against Foxel.--


In the South, Kara is meeting with Damen in his chambers. They are alone together.

Kara: You wanted to see me?
Damen: Yes, come in.
Kara (looking around): I've never been in your chambers before. There's a lot more kitten pictures than I thought there would be....
Damen: Aren't they so precious?
Kara: Yes, they really are!
--There is an awkward silence.--
Kara: So... What did you want me for?
Damen: I need you to be my new-
Kara: Wife!?
Damen: No. I need you to be my new helper. Since Eiven is... dead!
--Damen sniffles and wipes tears from his eyes.--
Kara: Oh. Ok... How are you coping since Chelsey left you anyway?
Damen (sounding bitter): Chelsey? Never heard of him.
Kara: I'll take that as poorly.
Damen: And on top of that, Ayancito failed to kill Dice for printing the headline that caused her to leave in the first place.
--Damen points to a newspaper laying on his desk. The title reads "Damen's Girl Stolen!"--
Damen: It was too humiliating for her and she left. Sometimes I wish she would have taken the kids with her.
Kara (shocked): Damen!
Damen: She took my heart, she could just as well have taken the kids too. Anyway. The first thing I want you to do as Emperor Helper is put Dice's newspaper out of business before he can print any more libel.
Kara: How do you want me to do that?
Damen: I don't know. Get creative. Burn his office down if you must.


All is quite in the forest as the forest kings and queens and princes and princesses sleep. It went unnoticed when a bird as dark as night and quiet as the still night perched in a tree and watched them all as they slept below.


On Das, Lord Law has summoned Pythas to meet with Amir and Loki. They hope that this meeting will make him forget about hunting for Tasha but little did they know that Pythas had other more important things on his mind and had forgotten all about Tasha. It was not she who he desired, rather it was revenge upon Manwe.

Pythas: Why have you summoned me to here, of all places? Don't you know I am busy? Where were you when I was fighting Manwe and his pathetic servant?
Amir: We were hoping you would stop hunting our daughter if we gave you some information that was just brought to us by one of my wife's vultures.
Pythas (confused): Your daughter?
Amir: Yes, lord.
Pythas: Who is your daughter again?
Amir: Tasha.
Pythas: What's so great about her?
Amir: I'm not sure. You were the one who was hunting her earlier. You were going to throw her friend out of a window. Not that that would have been a big loss.
Pythas: Oh. That. Well now I have more important things to worry about than some half breed vulture.
Loki (offended): Half breed vulture!?
--Amir gives Loki a look and elbows her, silently telling her not to say anymore.--
Pythas: I must now make plans to get revenge upon Manwe. You are wasting my time. You should consider yourselves lucky that I don't take your adopted daughter right now and make her work in the vanadium mines.
Amir: We know of an opportunity for you where you might get revenge.
--Pythas raises an eyebrow, interested.--
Amir: Eiven the Ardi Grandmaster has recently been assassinated. His funeral is tomorrow. After the funeral the Forest plans to go to war with the south. Everyone will be there, including Manwe, his wife, and his daughter.
Pythas (quietly): My ex-wife...Yes, perhaps I can use this to my advantage. Good work, Captain.

Meanwhile, Pic is speaking to Silence.
Pic: Do you think I have what it takes to be a doctor?
Silence: No.
Pic: You answered that question rather fast.
Silence: You do more harm than good. I know you broke that man's nose on purpose.
Pic: I would never!
--Silence walks away, Pic follows him.--
Pic: Do you think I would be a good nurse?
Silence: No.
Pic: Maybe I should just push you down a hill.
Silence: You are more annoying than that vulture woman.
Pic: That's rude. Loki is one of the most annoying people I know, especially since she got married to that nazgul.
Silence: You're just jealous.
Pic: Jealous of what?
Silence: I have your files from the psychiatrist.
Pic: No!
Silence: It says you've lost your sense of personal identity and that you love some man named Orlock.
Pic: I never said that.
Silence: The notes don't lie.
Pic: I only said I have a CRUSH on him. I don't LOVE him. And I didn't even mean what I said. I just wanted Romain to stop badgering me to say something unique about myself.
Silence: Sure you did. Get out of my office now. You are not allowed here due to Romain's orders.
Pic: I will not leave!
Silence: Then I will call the guards and they will take you back to the psychiatrist and he will lock you up in a nice padded room. Does that sound nice to you?
--Pic opens her mouth but doesn't say anything. Tasha and Lord Law come up behind her.--
Lord Law: Pic, lets go. You don't want to be taken to the Baraddur insane asylum against your will. They could legally detain you for a week.
Pic: But I'm not crazy!
Tasha: We know that.
Pic: No. I refuse to go.
Silence: Then I am calling the guards. GUARDS!
--The guards quickly come running into the room.--
Lord Law: Pic, let's go before they take you.
Pic: No.
Silence: Take that one to Romain, she is psychotic.
--The guards grab Pic and drag her from the room. Pic starts yelling insults and continues yelling them until she is locked up in a padded room.--

March 17, 2023
Oduil, the cousin of Aule, came to Humm. Sir Warrior informed him that Ronaldo was stuck in the Sith Temple on Malacoth and that they needed to go there and rescue him. Oduil tried opening a portal, which failed. He asked FlameVessel to open one since he is evil and knows how to but Flame declined. Oduil killed FlameVessel and used his blood to open a portal to the sith planet himself.

Oduil demanded that only Sir Warrior go with him, so the two went through the portal together. Once inside the temple they find Ronaldo and release him. Flame was displeased and attacked! Oduil did most of the heavy fighting. The Dunes eventually manage to escape the temple. Flame took heavy hits and was forced to retreat and regenerate after more skirmishes with Oduil. With Flame weakened, Oduil opened a new portal and the Dunes successfully return back to Arda.

When everyone arriveed back at Humm, a trial for Lumin is hosted, resulting in Lumin being allowed to join the dunes again as long as he quits wearing his dark gear. After which, Oduil showcased some of his crafting skills that he had learned from his cousin, Aule. After building a new platform to stand on in Humm, Oduil leaves. He says he will discuss how to best control Spike during his next visit.


March 19, 2023
Ahmez logs on and has a lengthy conversation with Gamer. He discusses that the sky is now dark as an ancient evil has returned to Arda, causing yet another unbalance in the force. It gets very weird throughout, as Ahmez tried to murder Reza with the help of his new sith apprentice. However the apprentice did not attack her and ended up leaving, causing Ahmez to give up on the fight.

Eventually the topic of Spike gets brought up. Warrior offered to help Ahmez kill Spike so Ahmez can use Spike's energy to revive Pythas. Ahmez and Warrior have a talk in the Pizza Parlor to discuss the topic further. Warrior says to Ahmez that he will get all the Dunes to help hunt down Spike. However Ahmez says not to bring Tulkas since Spike is afraid of Tulkas. Halfway through the meeting everyone in the Pizza Parlor got ambushed by a spirit that was throwing chairs around.

Warrior manages to convince Ronaldo to get the Dunes on board with hunting down Spike. Ronaldo agreed despite considering Spike to be his brother. Loki attempts to stop Ahmez from helping vanquish Spike by saying she will not give him any baby Ahmez's if he inherits her in the case that Amir is vanquished.

March 20, 2023
Nook logs on but Teigan immediately kills him in Beleriand. Then he logs onto his alt, Aiden. Teigan gets killed a couple times because she kept trying to troll Nook using various methods like a radium orb and a saxophone.

Nook handed a stone to Sir Warrior saying that Warrior would bring back balance to the force and that he would be op. Nook prophecies that Spike will die, but at the cost of a greater evil rising up. Then he goes inside Ered Gorgor and tells more prophecies. Nook prophesied that Ronaldo and Sir Warrior in a combined effort together would be able to take down Spike. He also prophecied that Loki would become consumed by bitterness at the death of her son and that her witchling (Raven) would return.

Nook said that the forest has changed and it is now the age of the Dunes. He also said that no one can be pure good anymore unless Accal returns as he is the chosen of light and without him, there is no light.

March 24, 2023
Spike comes and demands that Flame give him the Trident of Evil since he is the Makkaz and it should rightfully be his. Flame refuses and tries to vanquish Spike using Grond. Spike dies but is not vanquished.

March 26, 2023
Spike returned. He spoke with his mother about how he is going to meet his doom and that he wants to die fighting rather than die a coward since he knows that several people seek to vanquish him. He also spoke of his desire to get revenge on Flame for his previous defeat. Loki begged him not to go looking to get himself vanquished but he is determined to do so, causing Loki to fear that she is a bad mother. Spike reassured her and said that he has hidden some of his soul away and that she may be able to find /revive him again if she finds his soul in the void sometime in the future. Eiven even tries to reason with Spike and says he should protect his family and what he loves rather than die a pointless death but Spike still does not listen.

After some time, Spike attacks Lumin and shouts “DEATH TO DUNES.” Lumin ends up fleeing. Spike challenges Flame to a fight and Flame comes but does not fight him. Ronaldo comes and Spike challenges him to a fight but then Spike went afk and Ronaldo started hitting him and was arrested because he was in south. Ronaldo released himself and went to fight Spike in Baraddur. Ronaldo quickly started to lose the fight with Spike and started attacking Loki instead with his dune trident. Loki fought back but Spike became worried for his mother and chased Ronaldo down. Ronaldo almost died and was forced to flee. Spike laughed at Ronaldo's weakness.

And also, the darkness begins to end!

Though perhaps it was only dark because the timezones got messed up by 12 hours...

Posted in Aldarion and Erendis • 25th March 2023, 10:19 AM



Aldarion and Erendis were a couple Numenorians in the Second Age (obviously).

For all of his life, Aldarion loved sailing. He started when he was a child and his grandfather (on his mother’s side) would take him sailing. As he grew he became more independent and eventually started leading his own sailing expeditions into Middle Earth. Aldarion’s father disapproved of these long voyages but did not stop his son from going on them. Aldarion’s father was the king of Numenor and he thought his son should be better acquainted with the land he would one day rule than he was with the sea.

Eventually Aldarion would marry a woman named Erendis. But she did not love the sea. In fact she hated it. She loved the land and the trees and Numenor. Erendis was very patient waiting for Aldarion as he continued going on voyaged despite being betrothed to her.

After they got married, Aldarion settled on the land for awhile and he and his wife even had a daughter together. Erendis had hoped that having a child would make him no longer desire the sea and she wanted to have more children, preferably a son so that Aldarion would have an heir. But she was wrong.

When their child was four years old, Aldarion went on another voyage. Erendis did not approve of it but he promised her that he would only be gone for two years, so she let him go but she did not give him her blessing and moved out into sheep country. When he was due to return, she had his house prepared for him to return to and decided she would stay in sheep country until his ship was seen returning. But Aldarion did not return that year. Nor the year after that. Nor the year after that. Nor the year after that.

When he finally did return, she was very bitter and cold towards him. She even made him sleep in the guest room. While she was angry, she had hoped that he would ask her for her forgiveness. But he did not. Instead he rode away the next morning and disrespected her in front of their kid.

Then when he finally returned to Armenelos, he had their house and everything on their property burned to the ground except for one tree that had been given to them by the Eldar. So when Aldarion finally did become the King of Numenor and sent for his wife and child, Erendis flat out refused to return. She was absolutely heartbroken.

I think Aldarion is completely in the wrong here. He knew his wife didn’t want him to sail away again yet he did and he promised her he would only be gone for two years but was gone for more like five or six years. Of course his wife would be upset. He should have done something to try to make the situation right but he didn’t because of his foolish pride and stubbornness.

On Das, Loki and Amir are plotting how they can best turn the situation with Eiven being dead in their favor.

Loki: I could send a few of my vultures to the South and they could feast on his body.
Tasha: Ew.
Amir: No, I don't think that'll do anything but make them angry at the vulture race again.
Loki: True... I don't need any more of my subjects being needlessly killed.
Amir: This information is valuable... If we pass it along to Pythas, maybe he will forget all about Tasha.
Tasha: I like the sound of that idea!
Loki (sighs): That is likely the best plan.
Amir: But?
Loki: It feels a little anti-climatic.
Amir: You don't want to live here with Silence antagonizing you for the rest of your life do you?
Loki: Pfft, he's just a pathetic mortal. I'll outlive him by far.
Amir: I wouldn't be too sure of that. Pythas has given him a nazgul ring.
Tasha (surprised): What? I thought that was a wedding band!
Amir: Are you interested in dating the black doctor?
Tasha (blushing): N-no. I've said before, Lord Law is my only love. He is my... Lord Love...
Lord Law (suddenly appearing): Did I hear correctly? My girlfriend has said my name?
Tasha (still embarrassed): Yes, Lord Love. I have missed you.
--Lord Law and Tasha hug. Lord Law attempts to kiss her but she quickly pulls away.--
Amir: Lord Law, do me a favor and summon Pythas down here.
Lord Law: Why? Aren't we hiding from him?
Amir: Not anymore.


Meanwhile, Pic has finished drawing on Zes's new eyebrows. Half of him looks angry and the other half looks confused.
Silence: Hey! There is no need to look at me so angrily young man!
Zes: What?
Silence: Just calm down!
Zes: I'm not not calm!
Silence: You were ugly before Pic broke your nose, you know! It's not my fault that you look even worse now! I'm going to go get you a sedative! You look dangerous.
Zes: I- what!?
Pic (smoothly appearing): Zes, what happened to your face?
Zes: Are you dumb? You broke my nose.
Pic: I don't mean your nose!
--Pic walks away. Zes looks in a mirror--
Zes (shouting): PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!



In the forest in the South, Little has picked out her own spot to camp. She has purposefully picked out a spot far from her father and everyone else. Varda is mad at Manwe since he upset their daughter. Glarthir and Nook stay near to their grandfather. Eonwe camps out near to Little, making it his personal duty to keep her safe.

Little (annoyed): You know, just because I'm no longer crying doesn't mean I don't want to be alone.
Eonwe: Someone must make sure you don't get killed or kidnapped. There is an assassin on the loose.
Little: I doubt my father would care if I got killed or kidnapped.
Eonwe: I assure you, my lady, he would care very much.
Little: Can't you see? He doesn't care about me at all! All he's done since I returned is criticize me.
Eonwe: Not to offend you or anything, but it was a rather poor decision to invite a nazgul into his home without his permission.
Little: You're taking his side?
Eonwe: No, not entirely. The rest of his behaviour has been uncalled for. But he is only so harsh because he cares about you.
Little: I highly doubt that.
Eonwe: Little, he spoke often of you and very highly of you before you returned. He's proud of you, but he still worries that the shadow of evil will fall upon you as it almost did when you were hunted by Melkor when you were an infant. He still sees you as the child he left behind on Arda.
Little: That was years ago!
Eonwe: It was, but in the minds of the ainur, it seems like it was only just months ago. You are very young by their standards. Now sleep, there may be war tomorrow and you need to be ready for it.
Little: Goodnight, Eonwe.
Eonwe: Goodnight, Little.



In the South, Kara, Dice, and Bakeitor are returning to thrones with Ayancito. They have finally captured the master assassin. Kara is leading the way as they bring him before the Emperor. It is a very epic entrance as she pushes both doors open.

Kara (triumphantly): We have captured the assassin!
Damen: You have!?
--Kara steps aside, leaving Ayancito to stand in the center of the room. He looks nervous.--
Damen: You have! Dice, Bakeitor, you are both dismissed.
Bakeitor: But sir, don't you need someone to guard you in case he attacks?
Damen: That is what Lady Kara is here for.
--Dice and Bakeitor leave the room.--
Damen: So Ayancito... What happened to our deal? I ordered you to kill one person, and one person only. But it appears that you have failed to kill him.
Ayancito: Your check bounced... sir.
Kara (drawing her sword): Let me kill him right here for you, Damen.
--Damen waves Kara off so that she does not kill Ayancito.--
Damen: I did not write you a check. The deal was that I would free you if you assassinated Dice. You are free and yet Dice remains alive and my helper is dead. Why is that?
Ayancito: Because I answer to a higher power than you!
Damen: And what higher power is there in this land than me?
Ayancito: DOOM!
Damen: So you bow to a ghost, do you?
--Ayancito spits at Damen's feet.--
Damen: Then perhaps you would like to become a ghost yourself. Kara, summon the guards and witnesses.
--Kara summons the guards and some witnesses.--
Damen: By the order of me, Emperor Damen Drake, I hereby sentence Ayancito Makato to death for the murder of Eiven Realhawk. He will die tomorrow afternoon, after Eiven's funeral.
Ayancito: You can't do this! You hired me to assassinate Dice!
--There is a gasp from the crowd. Dice and Bakeitor exchange a look.--
Damen: Preposterous! That is a weak lie, even for you Ayancito! Take him away boys! Remove him from my sight!
--Ayancito is dragged from the room.--
Damen (quietly to Kara): Meet me in my chambers. We have much to discuss.

February 28, 2023
Nook came and baked bread by cave of Menegroth as he had spoken about doing previously. He made seed loaf bread and shared it with everyone who came.

Nook also make a couple prophecies. He prophecied that Tulkas's wrath will come to Arda and that Sir Warrior would return to help the Stazhand. Nook asked Eiven to fill in for Sir Warrior until he returns. Eiven rejected the suggestion and said that he has to take care of his daughter. Then Tommo and BigShaq went psycho after allegedly hearing voices and started attacking Nook and Reza. Nook was killed by Tommo on AchTo. Reza escaped death.


March 10, 2023
Glarthir came and was worried that he is gay. He said he needs the Princess of Light (Little) to kiss him and cleanse him. He was also upset that he might be cursed because the forest hasn't been speaking to him. So he said he was going to go on a pilgrimage. He also said Loki would become more desirable than all of the forest girls and that Fiona has gotten OLD. He also mentioned that evil skin never gets wrinkled because it is full of deception! :o

Glarthir also stated his desire to go into Baraddur to speak to a forest spirit that has been residing there but apparently he isn't allowed there because Amir won't allow anyone weak to enter the city. He asked Loki to get Amir to let him go into Baraddur again. The forest spirit calls itself Ahar and has good tidings for the forest!

Glarthir gave a message to Zaron that he must pass along to Ronaldo. He must say to Ronaldo "cut yourself, please, and pour 1 inch out" and then Tulkas's anger at Raheem will end. Zaron asked Glarthir about Aule and Glarthir called him the Lord of the Cowards as Aule has ascended into heaven. Glarthir was then smited as he was on Achto.

Glarthir then went into the void and renounced the forest. He was convinced by Flame to bow to him and become evil. The Voice then came and said that Reza must be killed. Glarthir took this as his personal mission and started plotting how to kill Reza.


March 13, 2023
Tulkas returned and pledged his loyalty back to the forest so that he will be restored to being a 50/50 grey dune. He killed Turq after being mocked by him and then asked/demanded a prophet to cleanse him. Reza took Tulkas to the Lake of the Dunes on Achto where she asked Nameless to cleanse him if he is true in his word. Tulkas then returns to his original shade of grey and is successfully cleansed! He shaved his beard and announced that he would no longer hunt Raheem.

Then a fight broke out between Tulkas, Fable, and Kace as Fable suddenly becomes possessed by the evil that Tulkas had just been cleansed of. Tulkas declared that he will beat the evil out of Fable as they fought in Humm. It was eventually revealed that Fable was possessed by his sword, which is a void blade. After losing the blade, Fable was no longer possessed.

Ronaldo and Tulkas also decided to start a house together. It is to be a house for stones. Tommo also kept up his attempts on Reza's life but fled after Tulkas attacked him over it. Tulkas then celebrated the restoration of balance in Arda and left.


March 16, 2023
A wormhole opened to Malacoth. Flame, Ronaldo, Loki, and Trolencio venture into the Temple of Ancients. Ronaldo is taken prisoner and cannot leave the building! After Ronaldo was imprisoned, everyone else who came to the planet was freed through a new wormhole.

Posted in The Story of the Son of the Lord of the Hounds • 11th March 2023, 01:42 AM

Glarthir has turned evil again because his father wore tight clothes and walked like a gazelle. And he's also jealous of Amir because he has a crush on Amir's wife. Also apparently Glarthir kissed a guy at one point? He also quit writing people's histories so I guess that makes me the new expert on the history of people.

This is the childhood of the DUNE KNIGHT.

Early in the third age, Dendra found himself beginning to tolerate a certain woman who was an expert dog trainer. This was odd for Dendra as usually he really hated people and would much rather torture them and feed them to his hounds than ever actually spend time with them. Since Dendra was able to tolerate this woman, they actually became close. They would spend time training hell hounds together and enjoyed unleashing the hounds on any unfortunate forest children or forest elders that happened to be in the area.

While they would not wed, they would have one child together, a son, who they named Zamakuluk or 'Dog Boy'. Zamakuluk grew slowly and Dendra was disappointed in his slow growth. He also had no talent with training hounds, which further disappointed his father. When Zamakuluk was four years old, Dendra finally had had enough of the boy and he gave him to his squire. He ordered him to feed the boy to the hounds. So Dendra's squire took the boy to the kennels where the hungriest and most ferocious of the hell hounds were kept. The boy cried and the squire found himself feeling sorry for the child.

The squire then took the boy to the shore of the ocean and placed him in a boat. He told the four year old to sail very far away from there and to never return. So the boy set sail but he knew nothing about sailing and ended up drifting about the ocean. After one week, the boy was sure he was going to die. There were no rations left on the small boat and the hot sun was beating down on him. He passed out from the heat and hunger.

While he was unconscious, the ship actually struck shore on an island! Which island was it? It was the radioactive island of Providence! There he was found by the witch known as Meredith who traded him to a sea captain in exchange for the sea captain's soul. Zamakuluk would be a slave to the sea captain for many years until the sea captain was killed in a war in the North. Then Zamakuluk went and joined the Southern society and was trained to be a knight. Zamakuluk renamed himself to "Sir Warrior" to try to make himself sound more impressive and worked hard to repress the memory of his childhood.

Posted in Lore of Pecky • 7th March 2023, 07:21 PM


Pecky is a young vulture orphan. Her parents died valiantly fighting balrogs that were in the service of Ancalagon. Pecky is too young to remember the Fire Nation war, she was just a fledgling when Ancalagon was vanquished. I have since taken her under my wing as though she were my own daughter (I miss you Raven, wherever you are. Please come home.).

Pecky is very sweet. Some of her hobbies include pecking people, playing hide and go seek, hunting for treasure, and fighting her reflection in the mirror. She is very smart and has a natural talent for healing. Currently Pecky aspires to become a surgeon. She says that she will just eat organs that she removes from people.

Pecky has a good sense of direction. While I have lost her several times, she has always managed to find her way home. She is a slow flier but that is common for a vulture so young.

If you see Pecky flying around Beleriand, feel free to toss her some food or even a nice stuffed animal. She likes to keep Pythas toys and teddy bears in her nest. She does not like stuffed patos. If you give her a stuffed pato she will peck the stuffing out of it and then try to peck your eyes and hair out. She has become very good at pecking hair out of forest people and anyone she attacks will have all the hairs ripped out of their head.

Kara, Bakeitor, and Dice are hot on Ayancito's trail. They are catching up to him thanks to the tracking device Kara had planted into Ayancito's arm. They finally see him! The dog runs away scared at the sight of the master assassin.

Kara: STOP ASSASSIN!
Ayancito: A woman? You think you can stop me? You will be easy to murder.
Dice: She is not alone!
Ayancito (laughing): I could have killed you earlier you fool!
Bakeitor: That's right but I stopped you from doing it!
Ayancito: I am not afraid of you either.
Ayancito draws his lightsaber. It is red like his eyes. He runs to attack Kara first but she easily steps out of the way. Then he tries to attack Dice but he dives behind a dumpster. Bakeitor tries to shoot him using his gun but Ayancito deflects every shot with his saber and then goes to attack Bakeitor. Just before Ayancito can attack Bakeitor, Kara attacks him from behind with a dual sided saber. Ayancito is surprised.
Ayancito (scared): DOOM? HELP!
Kara and Ayancito fight. Ayancito is losing.
Ayancito: DOOM EMPOWER ME!
Kara: You've lost. Don't you know I'm a trained knight of the Empire? Damen awarded me with this light saber personally. You are coming with us Ayancito.
Ayancito receives no response from Doom and surrenders. Bakeitor handcuffs him and the four all return to thrones.



Little, Varda, Manwe, Eonwe, Glarthir, and Nook have landed in the South. They go to the forest where they will stay for the night until Eiven's funeral. While there, they see Orome.

Varda: Orome! It is so good to see you again.
Orome: It is good to see you too. Too bad our reunion isn't under different circumstances. I was quite hoping there would be a good old fashioned forest wedding soon.
Orome looks past Varda towards Little and Eonwe.
Varda: Oh no, they aren't dating.
Orome: Oh. Your daughter could do with a strong noble man like Eonwe.
Manwe: I agree but she seems to have her eyes set on lesser kinds of men...
Little turns red, embarrassed.
Varda (warningly): Manwe.
Manwe: She brought that annoying boy and a nazgul to Star Palace!
Varda: Manwe! That is enough!
Little (flustered): I'm going for a walk!
Little storms away.
Eonwe: I'm going to go after her. She shouldn't be alone with an assassin on the loose.
Eonwe catches up to Little. He notices that she is crying.
Eonwe: My lady... I'm so sorry.
Little: I don't want to talk about it. Besides, maybe I deserved that. I did bring Zes to Star Palace. None of this trouble would have happened if I had left him here.
Eonwe: Eiven would still be dead and we would still be here.
Little: I mean you wouldn't have ended up on Das or gotten in a fight with Pythas. What if you had died!? It would have been all my fault!
Eonwe: If I had died, I would have simply remanifested myself. There is nothing to feel guilty about.
Little: Really?
Eonwe: Really.
Eonwe wipes away Little's tears.
Eonwe (laughs): Besides, it was your father who made me put on that cursed makeup. He thought it would make you fall in love with me.
Little (giggles): You did look kind of cute as an emo.
Eonwe: Don't let your father hear you say that.
Little: I won't. It doesn't suit you anyway.
Little is no longer upset and so she and Eonwe return to the rest of the group.



In Silence's office, a vulture has arrived to visit Loki. It has a very important message.

Vulture: Squaaark squark squack squaaack!!
Loki: Interesting... How did it happen?
Vulture: Squaaaark squack squack!
Loki (surprised): He really managed to kill someone?
Vulture: Squack!
Silence (angry): What is that vulture doing in here?
Loki (annoyed): Don't you recognize me? I'm a patient.
Silence: Not you! That other vulture!
Loki: She's brought me important news from the South.
Silence: She needs to leave! It is past visiting hours and I do not allow birds in here anyway!
Loki tells the vulture she has to leave. The vulture flies over to Silence and bites his face before flying out the window. Silence curses and closes the window, locking it so nothing else can come in.
Loki: Did you have to be so rude to her?
Silence: I wasn't rude to her.
Loki: Yes you were! The vultures are a proud race! They are more than just simple birds!
Silence: Are all you vultures this sensitive?
Amir: Ladies, ladies, stop this nonsense. Wife, what did the vulture say?
Loki (glaring at Silence): She said that Eiven is dead. He was assassinated by Ayancito. The funeral is tomorrow and then the forest is going to war the South.
Amir: Perfect. The forest at war with the South. That will benefit us greatly.
Tasha: Ayancito actually managed to murder someone? That has to be a first...
Loki: Shall we go to the funeral and watch the chaos unfold?
Silence: A woman in your condition shouldn't be traveling that far.
Loki: What is that even supposed to mean?
Silence smirks and leaves without saying anything more.

Meanwhile, Zes is sleeping so Pic has decided to shave off his eyebrows. Lord Law watches her.
Pic (annoyed): I know, I know, he could probably sue me. Well you know what? I. Don't. Care.
Lord Law: I wasn't going to say anything about him suing you. In fact, what you're doing is perfectly legal.
Pic: Oh... Get me a sharpie.
Lord Law: Why?
Pic: I'm going to draw them back on. Do you think he should look surprised or angry?
Lord Law: Why not have one angry eyebrow and one surprised one?
Pic: Perfect.

No one else is experiencing this. Sounds like a you problem.

Also you’ve never been able to unrep moods.
