Are you currently in Ravok now, or writing flashbacks? I am most certainly in Ravok. Any wild and crazy goals? Wild and crazy goals? Oh, no no no no no. Not I. I just want to be graced with the finer things in life; a big house, grandiose party invites, more gold mizas than I can spend in a life time. That's a very reasonable goal. In West Philadelphia born and raised, where did you spend most of your days? I am a creature of grace and beauty, my sweet. Naturally I spend my days amongst the tourist that come into the city: The Southern Trading Post, The Silver Sliver Tongue, Tarsin's Boarding House, places like that. I also like to take a glass of wine at the Immortal House of Pleasures - though it's not what you think. Really. It's generally better to keep work and pleasure separate. Side NoteAriadne is a native to Ravok, and as such I would really like to get her on a level with other Ravok natives, so if you're interested please PM me. Or if you just want to post a thread with me, or anything of the like. Thanks =)

Just so everybody knows, a couple things have been added to the Ravok Lore. First, there is now a page for Lake Ravok, though it is still under development. Second, and also still under development, is Ravok's main type of boat, the Water Glider. That name is still up in the air, so if you have any ideas then I'm happy to hear them. I want something cool, like how we call the boats that travel around the canal Ravosalas in stead of gondolas, which is what they are. Third, I edited the lore under the City section to include how long it takes to get to and from the city. These travel times will also be added to the Southern Trade Post as soon as I have time, but here is what I changed it to in the lore: "From the mainland, Ravok is only accessible by boat as there are no bridges or other connections linking the city to anywhere else. There are a series of forts and trading posts located at various points around the lake which offer authorized transport to and from the city. Traveling from the shore takes a long time, averaging at 10 knots it can take anywhere from three to four bells to reach the city, even longer for slower ships. The main form of travel for citizens to and from the city is by Water Glider, a special boat built by the Ravokians known for its speed. These boats consist of two or three hulls joined together, and often have a netted "deck" for passengers to lounge on during transit. The boats are built for speed, easily reaching 10 knots in average wind conditions, though they have been known to reach max speeds of up to 30 knots with enough wind." Anyway, that's all for now. Just giving everyone a heads up, and now there is finally an official length of time for how long it takes to get to Ravok. Yay!

Also, I figure I'll give a brief overview on how Ravok's "navy" works, because it came up in chat today. Ravok doesn't have a navy. It has a small fleet of really fast boats, usually with reimancers to guarantee max wind speed, that transport Ebonstrfye quickly to any threat. These boats may be equipped with some weapons, like harpoons or whatever, but they are not meant for battle. The reason for this is simple. Ravok will most likely never engage in naval warfare, because in order for that to happen, someone would have to build a navy to fight them with. The shoreline is constantly being patrolled, and it would be next to impossible to build an entire navy without the Ebonstryfe spotting the threat and retaliating before it ever got finished. Even if you built the ships before hand and somehow managed to transport them to the shore, the Ebonstrfye would be on you before you got the chance to get them in the water. So.. they don't really need a navy. They have small fast ships to transport troops, but no actual navy. At least not on Lake Ravok. If they ever get their Suvan Outpost built, then they will start working on an actual navy.

[Arae]

Arae has been in Ravok for awhile but I haven't had a chance to do any threads with her. If anyone is interested in starting something, let me know.
