Cathal Posted a Blog: Sabelle's Pain (Part 2)
“Hello dear” the old lady, well ancient really, had the most piercing blue eyes Sabelle had ever seen. “Hello” Sabelle said. She could not get the feeling that something was wrong here out of her head. “I heard crying and came to see who it may be” the old lady rasped. She had a voice that reminded Sabelle of the screeching sound that came from the barn door when the hinges needed greasing. “I am sorry. I did not mean to disturb you.” Sabelle continued to scan the woods, certain that there was someone else close by...

Hygeliac Posted a Blog: Learning to Fly
Growing up as one of the Wee Free Men, what you Bigjobs call Dwarves, you quickly learn that while we are gravity’s bitch. This is true since we always fall farther than any o the overgrown races, usually about 3 feet further. To compensate, we have learned tae bounce a bit. As I found my affinity for heavy armor and swinging around pointy bits, I also yearned tae fly through the air without a catapult. (which is undignified by the way) I started by jumpin’ off bridges and the like, and even got a famous bit or two for jumpin off the bridge near Sanctum...

Cathal Posted a Blog: Sabelle's Pain (part 1)
The elderly man was sitting at the table, clearly troubled, waiting for any sound that would mean his daughter was back. The door opened and a pretty young girl walked in with a basket of herbs. “Sabelle?” the old man said. “Yes, father”. Something in his voice caused a sudden fear to leap up in her throat. The old man studied the young girl and seemed to come to a decision. “I have news for you.” He took a deep breath as if setting himself to share bad news. “Young Dawan came by today...

Tip Posted a Blog: Excursion into the Realm of the Fae
Father Chase, Urged to action by Shyla, the High Priestess of the Vigil, Rhiannan and I banded together with three other stalwart members of the Family and ventured into a most intriguing bit of Silverwood aptly named, the Realm of the Fae. This land, while not truly rift-born or separate from Telara, is still separated from it in some strange way, as though it has drifted away from our plane, perhaps due to the machinations of some bit of Hylas' devilry. While our time in this strange land must have been less than two hours, it seemed that we spent a year there, fighting all types of fae creatures and fairy-folk...

Aetheogh Posted a Blog: Factions & Crafting
Playing both Guardian and Defiant, have come to the conclusion that Guardian's are the EASY faction to play and Defiant are the Hard Faction to play. Guardians have 2 portals for Silverwood, however Defiants only have 1 portal inside Defiant Capital City for the entire zone of Freemarch, without a mount you going to get bored in a hurry. Level Range of Freemarch is 5-20. There are lot of quests to keep you busy from normal quest hubs to invasions/rift quests. Plus for those that like to PVP there are pvp quests as well...

Aetheogh Posted a Blog: Update and some decisions
At present on Faeblight: PVE-RP we have Shanadar my High Elf Rogue who plays a healing bard in his first role and dps spec for the second role which doubles for rifts and warfronts. Aetheogh a cleric who's main soul is justicar is still at lvl 10. Will be concentrating on Shanadar to get him to lvl 50. As for Zahawatha decided to delete him from Faeblight and reroll him as a Bard/Ranger/Riftstalker Defiant side over on Estrael PVE-RP server. In light of recent events of which am still feeling stressed about decided that next time a raid is going on in defiant lands, am going to make sure to see what the rules of engagement is before joining said raiding parties...

Tip Posted a Blog: Into the Enemy Territory
Father Chase, Twice now our Family has ventured beyond enemy lines to face the incursion of Death and Water into the lands claimed by the Defiants, and twice the inhabitants of that domain have failed to thwart our efforts. Other than a few young cowards taking pot-shots at our flank, we have seen no true resistance. Could it be that these, our lost kinsfolk, would welcome our help to resist the Rifts that penetrate the Ward? Might we even someday stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our lost brothers and sisters in the Defiant horde, bravely pushing Regulos back and sealing the fate of the Dragons forever? 'Tis a dream devoutly to be wished, for I am certain the Vigil do not see the Defiant as mortal enemies, but as children led astray by the lies of power postulated by Regulos and his pet technomancers...

Aetheogh Posted a Blog: Remaking Aetheogh again for final time
Sigh, in hindsight should have created just two toons with easy to use classes, namely Rogue and Cleric. Well have given up on the warrior, the pally is not working out at low levels. So am going to when I get the chance to remake Aetheogh from a Warrior to Cleric using Justicar. Going to maintain just 2 toons until lvl 50 or will never get any toon up to max. :) Laters..

Aetheogh Posted a Blog: Getting used to the game
Hello, you all may have noticed that have changed my name to Aetheogh. I no longer use Falonarion in Vent or will be using it again. Aetheogh is Old Celtic for Arthur which is my real life name. I will respond in vent to Arthur (not Art) if you cannot pronounce Aetheogh (Ae - theogh) Rift itself is still learning process and Aetheogh the warrior is not out of the running he just had a redo to a Mathosian Warrior (Paladin/Riftblade/Warlord). I noticed from checking out the paladin that if spend 40 points into paladin I get some nice features including self heals which from reading the official paladin forum is lot better then reaver...

Moxie Posted a Blog: Squeakety Squeak Squeak...
Last night I found a consumable item that turned me into a squirrel for 30 minutes. Hijinks ensued! The squirrel jump animation is eerily reminiscent of the Night Elf jump from World of Warcraft... but more fun I think. I'm probably weird, but I did this for about 10 minutes last night: Then I headed to town and started talking to folks. Most just looked at me strange. A couple of folks asked me to "shoo!". One apparently inebriated but friendly dwarf in the Argent Glade inn decided to humor me...

Gellor Posted a Blog: Chords in the Rift, Pt 2
Bucolic… was that the right word? It seemed critical to him that he used a good term. He knew, at least, that he was a bard, and that such things were important to bards. Bucolic… The word simply seemed to have a tinge of the negative. Maybe that came from the disconnection he’d felt from the world around him, as if the air itself felt guilty touching him. He imagined a kingfisher suddenly finding itself on a mountain peak: bewildered, cold, dizzy, curious. The image felt apt. But bucolic seemed to fit the village just as aptly...

Gellor Posted a Blog: Hearth's Fall (RP Intro)
[This is an RP intro for the second character I have planned to create in Rift] --------------------------------------- The dust was the worst of it. The shaking and rumbling of the caverns was a distraction, but the deep caverns and holds of Earthmarrow were not strangers to these. No dwarf worth his hammer or her axe dreaded quakes for their own sake. It was an ancient point of honor to build and carve one’s home to be immune to the worst of the effects, and every shaking of the world brought with it the potential for new lodes...

Deft Posted a Blog: Northborne: Chapter 3
Chapter 3 The following day I entered my village one last time to gather any belongings that I might require on my journey, or anything that held special meaning for me. Our house was not nearly as burned as most of the other dwellings in the village, and I was thankful to find plenty of dried meat and water to help me survive the coming weeks. On my way around the house, I suddenly noticed the mirror hanging on the wall. We were a simple people, so mirrors were considered a luxury, and only elders or very rich warriors could afford them...

Deft Posted a Blog: Northborne: Chapter 2
Chapter 2 I don’t remember how long I sat there, under the gate to our burned village, but day and night blended together into a continuous stream of misery. Where would I go? Granted, I knew how to survive in the wild, and live off the land for months, even years, but the village had always been there for me to come back to. It was my safe place, where I could rest, and enjoy my father’s company. My father. The thought brought fresh pangs of grief back into my gut. How I wished I could go back in time, to the day before I had left on my hunting trip...

Deft Posted a Blog: Northborne: Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Our tribe lived in the far north, past the mountains and past still more. We cared nothing of gods, blood storm, or planar energy. We had each other, we had the beasts of the land, and we were content. I was the daughter of our tribe’s wisest hunter, Volk. For days and years he strove to teach me his wisdom; that the mind is greater than the sword, that magic could be used to defeat any foe, but I was an unruly student. All that mattered to me was the wild land, running for days, hunting beasts, and challenging anyone who crossed me...

Deft Posted a Blog: Northborne: Prologue (RP intro)
Prologue “Kneel before me in life, or bow in death, either way, you will serve me.” The lich’s cruel words hung in my memory. It had been nearly a decade since I had faced the undead sorcerer, an experience I was none too eager to repeat. Back then I had been a reckless warrior, a blasphemer of the gods. I served no one and nothing. I was master. That all changed when my father, my tribe, was taken by this… abomination. The time had finally come for vengeance. Before my eyes stretched a chasm so deep I imagined that a rock would fall for hours before it reached the bottom...

Kollrick Posted a Blog: Background...
The early days of Kollrick. Step back with me to a time about 10 or 12 years ago, when only a lucky few had DSL or cable and dial-up was the common connection. To the early days of MMORPG's, to a game called UO... So here I was addicted to this "new game" I would go to work, come home and play until way too late. And then try to do it all again tomorrow. Heh, with dial-up and lag, often times you would lag out, go to bed and log-in tomorrow only to find that all you had done the night before was lost...

Falonarion Posted a Blog: Rift: Planes of Telera
The game is turning out to quite interesting to say the least. We even have a Gaiscioch Family Guild going on currently on Beta Faeblight PVE-RP Server. So if any members that get a beta invite for next beta, be sure to join us for some fun, adventure and sending in feedback and bug reports. The guild on Faeblight has grown quite a lot, it is nice to see this. It is going to be even greater when we hit live. What ever RP Server Fog picks for us we going to be there. PVP aspect is quite fun, even though there are still issues that needs to be resolved but do hope they will be resolved by launch date...
