Hey everyone here's my log of the Cysaegir OOC town meeting, tried to highlight Valyrka's responses and italicize the questions being responded to hopefully it isn't too crazy looking. In case it is, a quick summary: We talked of many things fools an kings, but mainly about how amazing Cysaegir is, and how much more awesome it will become in the future. Topics covered included the need for a change to the statue in the commons, new npc's, fishing (unique fish!!) neighborhoods and playershops, auction houses, special merchandising, commerative festivals, citizenship verbs, ziplines and invasions?? is that a typo no sadly its not, thanks alot Meril (grumble grumble).
This report brought to you by a slightly drunk bard living in Cysaegir so I did arrive a fashionably late to the meeting.
You nod in greeting.
You say, "Allos."
Wolfloner says, "Ah."
Wolfloner nods to you.
[Valyrka's Tree, Study]
Set apart from the rest of the tree, the circular room is supported by a buttressed platform. Long fronds from a multitude of tropical plants are layered over a wooden frame creating a shady canopy above. Small glaes lanterns hang from the rim holding bright candles that illuminate the floor below. A sturdy railing encloses the area, rich green vines twining about each spindle. Carved from tanik, a large desk with matching chair looms against an outer barrier with several cushioned benches scattered nearby. You also see a crayon-scribbled coloring book and an elven body.
Also here: Meril, Wolfloner, Jymamon, GameMaster Valyrka
Obvious exits: out
Jymamon nods to you in greeting.
Meril nods to you in greeting.
Valyrka says, "So."
Valyrka says, "We have done some minor enhancements to the city over the last year."
Jymamon adopts an agreeable expression.
Valyrka says, "My fav are the upgrades to the bar and barkeep."
Jymamon says, "I'm biased, but I like those, too."
Valyrka grins.
Valyrka says, "I like that I was able to take a little bit from everyone's ideas."
Valyrka says, "Some things already in the works."
Valyrka says, "The CHE wing in the hall is still in construction."
Valyrka says, "It turned into a much bigger project than I thought."
Jymamon chuckles.
Jymamon asks, "Don't they all?"
Valyrka says, "This one certainly did."
Valyrka says, "But it will be done."
Valyrka raises her fist defiantly.
Valyrka says, "The lockers will still be a dup of Ta'illistim."
Valyrka says, "I was not able to get permission for a new set of lockers."
Valyrka says, "Right now, che members cannot access anything here."
Jymamon adopts an agreeable expression.
Valyrka says, "Another project that is underway."
Valyrka says, "Are additions to the night/day messaging."
You nod approvingly.
Valyrka says, "So your sun may rise prettier in the coming months."
Valyrka says, "I have a few smaller projects on my list like the statue in the commons."
Valyrka says, "There are some things like that, that are not consistent with history."
Valyrka says, "The first Illistim ruler was female..."
Meril ponders.
You nod slowly.
You say, "Must been a guy doing the retelling."
Valyrka grins.
Valyrka says, "There was a time when no one really knew about the rulers."
Valyrka says, "So I think that went up before."
Valyrka says, "Just going to get things consistent."
You nod in agreement at Valyrka.
Jymamon nods.
Valyrka says, "But what I really want to know is, where are there places we could enhance, update, add to etc."
Valyrka says, "No guarantees."
You nod.
You say, "I have a few suggestions I was mulling over."
Valyrka says, "Please, share."
<<Meril says, "I vaguely remember some real life art history about how female pharaohs were sometimes depicted in male clothing. Could be something interesting there."
Wolfloner asks, "Glimae'den?"
Wolfloner asks, "That period of time?"
<<You say, "Well I know that this town was given to the aelotoi but I'd love it if something in town has a bit of lore that gave us a glimpse of that sleepy little hamlet. Perhaps rebuild an auction house here in town that adventurer's from far an wide could use to sell items, it would be unique if we had an actual public auction block."
Valyrka says, "If I am going to get approval to update things, i want to make the most of it."
You say, "And or just a spot for us to fish in town."
Valyrka says, "Fishing I could do."
Valyrka says, "The auction house will most likely get turned down just for this town."
Valyrka says, "If it was approved as a worldwide system maybe."
You say, "Well I was hoping it could be somehting to make us special, but I can understand that."
Valyrka says, "But I have not heard that it is on anyone's radar right now."
Valyrka exclaims, "If I do I will bug them!"
Valyrka says, "But fishing is doable."
You nod appreciatively at Valyrka.
<<Jymamon says, "What if a player donated one of the scripted auction blocks to be permanently placed in town? Instead of a full system, just something that exists."
Jymamon says, "Not that I can think of how shared use would work out... just running with the idea."
Valyrka says, "That would be up to the owner, but I do not think they are coded like that."
Jymamon nods.
Valyrka says, "I can do some checking."
<<You ask, "Is it possible for the herbalist here to sell a "local" poison or disease removal potion? or our cobbler's guild to have really nice materials you can't find anywhere else?"
Valyrka says, "New cobbling supplies are doable."
You say, "I was just trying to think of ideas that highlighted the fact this is a town of artisans."
You say, "Ohh and heartfire made me promise to ask."
Valyrka says, "I will check into materials that other places have and see what we can offer that is different."
You ask, "Is there any chance a neighborhood will ever be built in or near Cysaegir?"
Valyrka glances at you.
Valyrka asks, "Hrm, it doesn't have one, does it?"
You say, "Anything golvern.... just throwin it out there, and some nice silks."
You look at Valyrka and shake your head.
You say, "Shame cause a neighborhood in the treetops with rope bridges and ladders would be perfect."
<<Jymamon asks, "Any chance we could get a public workshop? Or, as a stretch, local professional guild locations?"
Valyrka says, "I am not sure how it would work in the trees, but I can see if we can add one."
Valyrka asks, "Public workshop?"
Jymamon says, "Enchanting/ensorcelling workshop."
Valyrka says, "That will most likely be a no."
Valyrka says, "And same to guilds."
Jymamon nods.
Valyrka says, "I can ask but no guarantees."
Jymamon adopts an agreeable expression.
Valyrka says, "'I know how much it takes to build a new guild building."
<<You ask, "Can we make a deal with the dwarves to get an express cart built? or a zipline ??"
You say, "Asking for a friend..."
Jymamon chuckles.
Valyrka says, "I did most of the FWi ones."
Valyrka says, "Umm doubtful, but maybe."
Valyrka ponders.
Speaking to Valyrka, Jymamon says, "Some of them are quite extensive."
Valyrka says, "I can look into a fun zipline maybe."
Valyrka nods.
You chuckle.
Valyrka says, "I did the bard and warrior for sure."
You say, "I was really just kidding about that, but I'd love a zipline if did get put in."
You say, "I really like the work you did at the bard guild."
You nod approvingly at Valyrka.
Valyrka exclaims, "My fav place!"
Valyrka says, "Did you play the harop."
Valyrka says, "Harp."
You say, "I did."
You say, "I try to go early whenever ther'es an event there."
Valyrka lets out a cheer!
Valyrka says, "That was written for my auction home but I wanted to share it with bards everywhere."
Jymamon asks, "Since player shops are currently under work, any chance for a few of those here?"
Valyrka says, "Maybe."
Valyrka says, "It is on my list of what I want."
<<You say, "Well I think Retser said we'd have to wait till the other towns got done, but he didn't forget us."
Valyrka says, "You have not been forgotten."
Jymamon beams!
Valyrka says, "Just don't sell your current shops."
Valyrka says, "As I am not promising anything! But the moment I have news You will know."
Jymamon adopts an agreeable expression.
<<You ask, "I know its not actually a building, but is there an aelotoi specific instrument that might be able to be placed in town? or some way for us to see more of the town elders who run Cysaegir?"
You ask, "Either as NPC's or brief roleplay encounters in town?"
Valyrka says, "I thikn we need more npcs like the barkeep."
You nod in agreement at Valyrka
You say, "I do enjoy our one sided conversations."
You chuckle.
Jymamon grins.
You say, "That barkeep is a good listener."
Valyrka grins.
Valyrka says, "The shops can use some sprucing up, but that is down on my list at this time."
You nod understandingly.
Valyrka says, "'ok so."
Valyrka says, "Fishing, unique cobbling materials, premium neighborhood."
Valyrka exclaims, "Zipline for fun!"
Jymamon adopts an agreeable expression.
Valyrka says, "Shops, more npcs and shop updates."
<<You say, "I think Jymamon was mentioning its been a long time since the town opened up and it might be interesting to do a commerative event."
Speaking to Jymamon, you ask, "I didn't wanna steal your thunder, care to elaborate a bit?"
Valyrka says, "We have had two aelotoi specific festivals since it opened I think."
<<Jymamon says, "I hadn't actually fleshed the idea out entirely, but, yes, some kind of memorial for those we left behind."
Valyrka nods.
Jymamon says, "The flower festival and the persimmon, I believe."
Jymamon says, "I'm very sad I missed the flower festival for the butterfly."
Valyrka says, "Aww."
Valyrka says, "I have one of those."
Jymamon nods.
You say, "It was wonderful."
Valyrka says, "Yea."
<<Meril says, "There could also be some sort of memorial to those two aelotoi who opened up the Elemental Confluence and blew themselves up in the process. Though I don't know how the Illistimi would take to that."
Meril shuffles her feet.
Jymamon says, "They're really neat and so appropriate."
Valyrka says, "So some sort of memorial."
Valyrka says, "Of the arrival."
You say, "Or for those left behind."
Jymamon nods at Valyrka.
Valyrka nods.
Jymamon says, "Kinda both since they're tied up together."
Valyrka nods.
Speaking to Meril, you say, "I didn't realize it was aelotoi who opened the confluence."
Speaking to Meril, you ask, "Is there a record of it at the library in ta'illistim?"
Meril asks, "Maybe in Solhaven?"
Meril furrows her brow.
You say, "I'll have to do some research."
You say, "Speaking of other towns."
You say, "I must confess."
<<Speaking to Valyrka, you say, "I covet a citizenship verb."
You say, "I like yelling stuff an looking fancy."
Valyrka says, "Hrm."
Valyrka says, "On the list."
Valyrka says, "I am pretty sure those are things I can do."
Jymamon lets out a cheer!
<<You exclaim, "A salute like they have in ta'vaalor and ta'illistim would be great, especially if its we bend the knee to no kings!"
You say, "Since we have town elders and are loyal to the mirror I think it fits."
Valyrka says, "I am going to be honest, I have a huge project on my plate right now, so I will be picking and choosing, probably stuff I can do quickly at first."
Valyrka grins.
You say, "Well we're very patient."
Valyrka says, "So like maybe a fish design contest."
You say, "The bar and tower are keeping me quite content for the time being."
Valyrka grins.
Valyrka says, "Unique fishes."
You say, "Ohh."
Jymamon exclaims, "Nice!"
Valyrka says, "This month is full, but be on the look out for some of this in the future."
You say, "This should be the fly fishing destination."
You ask, "Jymam did I forget anything we talked about last week?"
You peer quizzically at Jymamon.
<<Jymamon says, "We could be Elanthia's #1 vacation spot."
Speaking to you, Jymamon says, "I think that got it all."
You say, "I dunno tough to beat mist harbor, they have a resort."
Valyrka says, "Its good to hear your ideas, it helps me to focus on what you really want to see."
<<You say, "I have a radical idea, let us have citizen only raffles, that are open to partial citizens of other towns. Cysaegir welcomes everyone an all that."
Speaking to you, Jymamon says, "True, but it is so busy there. Folk can come here to get away from all that touristy stuff."
Speaking absently to yourself, you ask, "Maybe I'm the only person that actually says that?"
You nod in agreement at Jymamon.
Valyrka says, "'not sure krolvens would be welcome."
You say, "As long as yer not a kiramon the barkeep says yer alright."
You nod firmly.
Jymamon laughs!
Valyrka says, "Actually I think half krols have a negative at the shops."
You ask, "Really?"
You give a short little hum of surprise.
You say, "I feel bad for encouraging them to come here for a fair price."
Jymamon says, "According to the wiki they do, but I've never tested."
You ask, "I wonder why aelotians would dislike half-krol?"
You say, "No accounting for tastes."
You shrug.
Valyrka says, "No idea, but there it is."
You say, "I'm pretty sure I'm tapped on ideas, not just the good ones."
Meril rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Valyrka grins.
You glance at Wolfloner.
You glance at Meril.
Meril shakes her head.
Meril squints.
You exclaim, "So nothing for a little while longer during the cold month, an then look for excitement in the spring!"
You nod.
You say, "I can do that."
Jymamon nods.
<<Meril asks, "When was the last time Cysaegir had an invasion?"
You say, "Never."
You say, "We don't have them in the town of Sanctuary."
Valyrka says, "We have had them outside."
Valyrka exclaims, "They just dont get in!"
Valyrka says, "At least for now."
Meril looks up, as though searching for something.
You nod.
<<You say, "I think we have rangers that hide in the wildwood and shoot any would be invaders that wander too far from Whistler's Pass."
You say, "I mighta just imagined that while stumbling home from the bar."
Valyrka starts chortling.
Valyrka says, "You stumble home? never."
You chuckle.
Valyrka says, "I think they just do not believe this place is important."
Valyrka grins.
Speaking to Meril, Jymamon says, "We had a small one when the tower was built."
Jymamon says, "Probably grim that got lost on their way to Ta'Vaalor."
You nod in agreement at Jymamon.
Valyrka says, "More invasions added to the list."
(OOC) You quietly whisper to Valyrka, "Thanks for coming out to listen to us."
You chuckle.
Jymamon grins.
Valyrka hums a happy tune, skillfully expressing her friendly mood.
Valyrka says, "Beware what you wish for."
Valyrka winks.
You laugh out loud!
You glance meaningfully at Meril.
Meril leans to her left slightly.
Valyrka says, "Anything else I can work on for all of you."
Jymamon says, "I think that covers everything I had."
You nod.
Valyrka says, "I have a ton of permissions there, but IF i get shops and homes, you have to get more citizens."
You say, "Citizen raffle for a master quality instrument."
Valyrka grins.
You say, "I know they will say no."
Jymamon starts chuckling at you!
You say, "But I can dream."
Valyrka nods.
<<Jymamon asks, "Can you share the current citizenship numbers?"
Valyrka says, "I actually have no idea."
Jymamon adopts an agreeable expression.
Valyrka says, "I have seen 10ish at WPS."
Jymamon nods.
Speaking to Jymamon, you ask, "Can you see them in the citizenship book at Rhysaedid hall?"
Valyrka says, "You need perks to pull more citizens, but you need citizens for it to be a good use of resources."
Speaking to you, Jymamon says, "I don't think so, but I guess I haven't tried either."
Valyrka says, "So its a terrible cycle."
You say, "Well i've been advertising on the global amulet."
You say, "So maybe we'll see a spike."
Jymamon seems hesitant, looking unsure of himself.
Jymamon adopts an agreeable expression.
Valyrka says, "But I will start with some simple things and see where we go."
Jymamon says, "Even the simple things help bring the town to life, so I'm a fan."
Valyrka says, "So while it may seem slow I will keep adding when I can."
Valyrka says, "The che wing has to be priority."
Valyrka says, "I want that off my plate."
Jymamon nods.
You nod in agreement at Jymamon.
Valyrka says, "Anyway! thanks for chatting with me."
You nod encouragingly at Valyrka.
You say, "Keep up the good work."
Valyrka says, "I keep trying."
You turn to Valyrka and cheer!
Jymamon says, "Thanks for the updates and listening."
Meril claps her hands.
Jymamon turns to Valyrka and cheers!
Valyrka says, "I know what I would love to do here, it will just take time between other projects."
You say, "Yes thank you for coming out we know you have alot on your plate."
Valyrka says, "And hopefully if you pull more citizens it will be easier."
Valyrka says, "All will be revealed in time."
Jymamon exclaims, "Dun... dun... dunnnn!"
Valyrka smirks.
You chuckle.
Valyrka says, "BOOM."
Jymamon chuckles.
On the tanik desk you see some nooks and a large parchment map.
Neatly drawn on a large piece of parchment is a beautiful map of Ta'Illistim. Several large red marks have been drawn over various areas, notations written next to them in the border. Other less noticeable symbols are penned about diagram with no apparent meaning.
You say, "Alright well I need to run off an finish eating dinner."
Jymamon laughs!
You say, "See you all soon."
Jymamon says, "I'm about to go do the same,"
Jymamon says, "Have a great night everyone."
You wave.
You see Lord Chalat Greyvael Illistim the First Couturier of the Argentate. Short silky hair drapes over his face covering the body's eyes. The thick strands are soaked in blood flowing from a deep red slash across his throat.
Valyrka exclaims, "Have a good one!"
Valyrka waves.
Jymamon waves.
Meril waves.
Jymamon just went out.
You say, "Also there's a body in the corner."
You say, "You should know that."
You nod at Valyrka.
You glance at an elven body.

[Cysaegir, Linsandrych Common]
Placed strategically under a leafy arbor for shade, a vine-carved bench hides in the darkness. Interrupting the natural beauty of a grassy knoll sprinkled with a scattering of buttercups is a lattice-worked gazebo. A slate-paved walkway that snakes through flowering bushes and trees leads toward the steps of the structure. Gorgeous bell-shaped flowers in shades of blue and pink encircle the base of a pedestal upon which a magnificent gold statue of an elven man is perched. You also see a small narrow-winged falcon, a flowered archway and a long ramp winding up and around a massive tree.
Also here: Rouvers, Realk
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest, northwest
Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.
You nod to Rouvers in greeting.
Meril just arrived.
You nod to Realk in greeting.
Realk traces a series of glowing runes while chanting an arcane phrase...
Realk gestures.
Realk turns toward you and renders you a sharp hand salute.
You say, "Allos."
Meril summons a torrent of spiritual and mental mana and releases upon herself a flurry of abjurations.

You say, "Indeed."
