Hey a Dojo sounds pretty cool! I'd like that and the Barracks. Thanks Paragon!

We need to make Zeltiva strong and crush those Syliran dogs! Hahahah.

You could do the write-up for the Dojo and Barracks if you have an idea on what you'd want them to be like, Faylon xD I like the idea of the Dojo too...

I'd also imagine that Syliras and Zeltiva can't really do anything towards each other, since if Syliras attacked Zeltiva the waaaay stronger Zeltivan Navy would sink all their ships, while if Zeltiva attacked Syliras the Knights would just defeat the army on land o_o

Fun idea, but we won't be attacking Syliras in a hurry. Dusk would kick my ass ;)

So I've been adding more locations, and I hope to have all of the requests up in due course. Most of them lack NPC's - this is not a mistake. I will be creating an NPC library shortly, and going back through locations to add them, so just hold fire for a moment :)

Oh yes, for the Transmutation Ring and Toadstool Cluster, you might want to add a part (to clarify things properly) that says that without moderator permission one is not allowed to know about or use the Alahean Accelerator and MCL0/Areesa's Attic locations.

That's a good point, I didn't realise that was unclear. I'll try and sort that :)

I love the new library, Paragon; it's so great that it's now a separate and clearly defined location. Just a suggestion, though: How about naming the location Wright Memorial Library? In the University of Zeltiva lore page, as well as several threads in Zeltiva, the library is already referred to as such.

Also, I agree that fighting against Syliras would be a terrible idea, considering Syliras is the major importer of food to Zeltiva according to the lore. :P The city wouldn't do too well if they were quickly reduced to a diet of fish and kelp because Zeltiva picked a fight with Syliras.

[Domain Development] Let's Build Zeltiva Together

Postby Paragon on February 7th, 2012, 9:45 am

Hi guys,

I love all your ideas - I really do. And I'm extremely thankful to be running a domain with such knowledgeable (sometimes more than me!) and enthusiastic players.

Despite this, I'm going to have to say no to the "dojo" and barracks ideas. Though I loved them, I've thought long and hard on it, and decided that it would be best to keep Zeltiva as an almost neutral city, full of study and seafaring. If you want a military style settlement, Syliras is nearby, and Denval in Kalea is a more militaristic society. I just don't think I can fit these locations in. We need to keep Zeltiva unique, rather than just throwing every kind of amenity at it.

This is not a criticism at all though. I don't want you to stop posting ideas - on the contrary, I read and think about each one very carefully, and as I said, I'm extremely grateful.

Thank you guys for being awesome.

Paragon
