Targossas novices go through city novice academy before they are moved onto house requirements. Basics in the academy house ideal specific in houses.
You are daft to think there is any House in Achaea that doesn't have some kind of program in place that rewards achieving certain tasks with an HF.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important
Love the implication that three people getting moved up ONE RANK (for justifiable reasons, but who cares? It's one rank) is automatically the result of indulgent, lazy asses engaged in a dramatic HF war.
But yes, it isn't your problem. At least we can agree on that!
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
Sorry, perhaps I should've said "a HF race program to help people jump ranks for the sake of having them jumped". The Virtuosi has a list of things you can do that may get you HF'ed. But it's not a popularity contest.
So does this mean that Dwarves can finally invent rifles maybe a combination of a knightly class and elemental or alchemist class to wield it?
(Blades of Valour): Draekar says: "Synbios if sunbeams sparkle off that I'll kill you where you stand."
(Party) Halos says, "Disbar?"
(Party) Draekar says, "You know here we have disbar."
(Party) Draekar says, "And over there we have datbar."
Probably not, Cardan has said here that "changes that involve adding gunpowder aren't going to be approved".
We don't need.
We have.
Edit: misread quote.
What @Mishgul said.
I've had alts in every house in mhaldor and spent time in 3 on my main.
passing out housefavors for pre-determined accomplishments/tasks is not a part of what I've experienced.
No gunpowder then! I propose rifles that house the essence of a fire elemental instead of bullets. Firing the rifle will essentially run a 'magic code' that simulates spellcasting - in this case a fireball instead of a bullet.
Fire not your thing? I hope Deucalion smites you with a rolling barrage of fireburst artillery, you benighted heathen! Ok, let's deploy a freeze mine - a 'frozen'(I accept all accusations of redundancy) deepfreeze spell-code held in a supercharged stasis field that triggers when the precognitor code identifies one or more approaching persons as a personal enemy.
Water and ice not your thing? Bah, I hope Neraeos takes you deepsea diving...minus a diving bell but with 100x more duskfins. A fissure bomb probably might be more up your alley. A mote from the earth elemental plane is coded to cause a localized rapid-terraforming protocol, causing earthquakes and chasms to materialize, giving your enemies a bad day.
What? Earth too uninteresting? I hope Phaestus buries you alive under a five gigaton landslide. Fine, why not integrate a windsprite generator into your weaponry? The creation of a micronized aeropressure field around the weapon would enhance the sharpness of blades, lend additional impact to hammers, and impart supersonic velocity to fired arrows.
You don't like air either? I hope Vastar doesn't forum ban you! Just kidding, freedombro! Or at least depressurizes your location, causing you to explode. You unsatisfiable mortal, you.
marvelously done
Maybe I missed this, is it mentioned what Cities / Houses will be next?
Mhaldor is being done currently, then farmville(Eleusis), then the darkness hallow(Hashan), and they will be finishing it up with 'MURICA(Ashtan).
Meow, meow, etc.
Eiredhel's Family Tree
That's probably one of the best summaries of each city I've seen in a long time.
Suddenly I want to roll an Ashtani toon whose signature colors are red, white, and blue. And he has an eagle that roams around and occasionally settles in his arms for more Freedom stories.
Freedom motherfucker, do you SPEAK IT.

In a way, quite a few Houses and Guilds were tacked on to cities and didn't have any specific reason for being there other than 'just because' or 'we're giving this city its own Magi/Monk/Serpent guild' which is kinda where the whole damn problem came from in the first place - especially because the guild system was completely not futureproof against multiple, new classes being added. Oftentimes cities were nothing more than 'that place your Guild/Househall is at.' And certainly, a lot of Houses failed to make a true transition from being a Guild centered around a single class to a House that needed to be able to fully welcome multiple classes - classes got (shoddily) tacked on to the pre-existing (single class) guild structure way too often. Mindsets focused around a single class work better as a clan/sub-organization rather than one of the core pillars of a city - much like Knighthood in Cyrene is gonna be handled (with official support from the city, at that).
This whole Renaissance thing kinda reminds me of Makali's stance on Destruction. Seems fitting.
I also don't know why people are talking about Hashan. Everybody in Sapience knows that Hashan doesn't actually exist. #reclaimtheforest
I was cool with your post up until that unnecessary (see also: ignorant, immature, etc) stab at the end of your post about a city you likely know nothing about.
I would have liked a more Ice theme incorporated into Cyrene's remake, but eh, to each their own.
I'm curious about what Mhaldor would be called, were it not the next City.
-Soviet Mhaldor, naturally.
Nothing more than a very old joke that shows my age. You're right, it was probably in poor taste.
I'd love to see a strongly defined image from Hashan (then again, their Divine seem to, in part, be about being subtle, elusive, and hard to pin down...). Some of the cities in Achaea encompass, in a very broad sense, various extremes of common stereotypes (we're the 'good' guys, we're the 'bad' guys, etc.). Necessary and useful, but also a rather unsurprising and expected existence.
With those roles filled, other cities have the chance to assume a more unique identity that brings depth to the world so that possesses more than just the standard stereotypes. Hashan is a city that can easily be in the latter group. Although some of its citizens may have a strong identity and sense of purpose it's clear that others are more muddled (kinda like how Shallam had a massive entourage of snuggle kingdom members that just didn't mesh with the direction the city was supposed to stand for, RP-wise). Thus, I look forward to what may happen when Hashan's turn comes to receive an overhaul.
Love or hate them, a city like Mhaldor that's active beyond their own city walls (even if it's to pee in everyone else's cheerios) helps breath life into the game. The more cities that are actively engaging the world the better. Dat player interaction.
That's not nearly as fun as Farmville, or the Darkness Hallow. It's still got Mhaldor in it. Put some effort in @Harmonia !
Hashan's already well on the way to re-establishing itself, and I think the Renaissance is going to galvanize that change.
I think @Vyktoria is hacking the forum software.
*suspicious*
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
What did I do?
Agree and like listed at the same time. Normally the forums cancels out your first tag when you click the second. In your case it seems to have spazzed out and not done this.
