What Happened To You Today?

Kafziel · December 2016

^

Played in Mhaldor for years, had zero idea that was a thing (used to use/sell herbs that I took from shops/sub houses all the time)

If it's a thing, it's a new thing, and it sounds like a dumb thing.

Melodie said:
That said, when tradeskills became a thing, Ruth (the then-Tyrannus) made is abundantly clear that harvesting and/or selling herbs in Mhaldorian shops is banned. We turn a bit of a blind eye (though you may get some looks for it) to eating/usage because of similar reasons I listed above, but those two bits are enforced, and are listed in our laws.

Shayde · December 2016

From my understanding of this there must be a don't ask, don't tell policy because I have definitely seen Mhaldorians buy herbs and on occasion harvest. As a merchant, I have also sold moss to Mhaldorians. Harvesting not as much due to the fact that the forests try to murder them.

With that said, I will still sell. $$$$$

Shayde · December 2016

Also, side rave to Mhaldorians being the best people to sell to. They're not stingy, end up tipping me, and have the best conversation. 10/10 would sell to again.

Considering it was Sartan that enacted a while after alchemists were implemented and it is in our novice training help files to use minerals, it is not new.

Considering our relationship with the forests, nature, and Eleusis, it is not dumb.

Morthif · December 2016

You're dumb.

Senoske · December 2016

No u..

Ryzeth · December 2016

I'm pretty sure even Ruth had trans'd Harvesting. Technically primes(minerals) are just as much a part of nature as herbs are. Gonna stop using those, too?

Greys · December 2016

@Ryzeth the choice is more practical than philosophical. Noone can impede them from extracting primes on the scale that herbs can be impeded.

Mathilda · December 2016

Tracked to a wrong person. Oops!

Jonathin · December 2016

Herbs are and always have been taken from living things (formerly at the behest of Oakstone (may that org ever rot and fester in hell)). Minerals have never been governed by a Nature-based org.

Cailan · December 2016

It makes more sense for Mhaldor to eat plants tbh. Destroying Nature one herb at a time. Hell you should eat like 5 herbs per aff if you're as committed as you say you are.

I used to follow Ruth around when she was Tyrannus to talk about ideology. I tried asking her to come to Eleusis. I used that whole argument about transmutation being part of nature too. She proceeded to laugh and extract the primes where we were, then told me she was killing any taint of nature with solvents later, twisting it to her uses. Hence, subjugation of nature. She definitely does not harvest...

Armali said:

When you mill inks, you have to MILL FOR <1-5> <colour>INK. If you have the right reagents, but in the wrong amounts, it will fail and all reagents are destroyed. So even though that was enough for 500 inks, the command is to mill for 5 (the maximum without artie mill), so the quantity of reagents is wrong and it fails. Bye bye reagents.

It's something you learn very quickly... I still remember my first time milling where I destroyed ~2 hrs of hunting for reagents, on top of another ~30,000 gold worth all in one go... Since then have had "inr all" as the first action of my milling alias, before it outrifts stuff.

The so-called 'fruit of the earth' are plants grown by Nature, to serve

Nature, and further the pursuits of Nature.

Eleusis and its allies, the Divine of the Natural world, stand against

Mhaldor for they fear progress. They cling to out-moded ideologies,

ignoring the Strength that is found through civilization and the purge

wrought by the fog of the Master.

We do not accept their weakness, nor do we seek to enhance their futile

cause. Thus, do we shun the use of plants found via Harvesting and

instead use only minerals created via Synthesis. Mhaldorians pull the

primes necessary from the earth and we create we we need - much as the

Truths create within us impetus to grow and succeed.

Never should a Legate allow themselves to use plants, always should we

strive to use minerals where necessary. This is not a negotiable term.

Many minerals are sold within the Holy City. A list of the minerals are:

Ferrum A mineral to cleanse the blood.

Stannum Restore sanity with the stannum mineral.

Dolomite A milky white mineral.

Antimony Antimony will protect against hydropsy.

Bisemutum A mineral to quicken the mind.

Cuprum A mineral alloy of copper.

Magnesium A mineral to return movement to the muscles.

Calamine Block out sounds with the calamine mineral.

Malachite Ground malachite will raise an anti-weapon field.

Azurite Link with the realm of the Deathgod.

Plumbum A leaden mineral to restore mental health.

Arsenic A toxic mineral to induce blindness.

Gypsum Gypsum's physiological properties will prevent sleep.

This scroll was kind of obscure. Not sure if it's copy/pasted into the insidium, but I didn't see anything directing me towards it and read it out of curiosity way later. I actually would have probably took harvesting had Ailea not informed me during my interview when I asked if herbs would suffice that it was banned to gather them. Still, eating them seemed entirely optional until I read that scroll one day out of curiosity and switched over to minerals.

So, regardless of who's side you're on here, it IS a rule, but it should be a mandated reading from the start which it is not at present, hence mishaps such as this. I've read thralls, aspirants, emissaries, and duelists and never seen that scroll refrenced once, so unless I missed it somehow --which is not beyond the realm of possibilities-- then you could make it to at least hr5 without ever having known this rule.

Copy pasted from HHELP WELCOME, the first file you're instructed to read:

Congratulations on your entrance to the Dread Legates, Thrall. Your

journey in slavery continues as it should be - in chains - as you strive

to understand the unholy charge of Evil you will be responsible in

carrying beyond the walls of Mhaldor.

While once, we were separated by the talents and professional interests

we held, now we are united in Strength to usher the City of Mhaldor into

a new age of progression: to seize the limitless future that waits for

us in the horizon before us and to reclaim this very planet we stand on

for the glory of the Master, by word, by will and by force!

Seek induction into the Colloquium Iniquus (CLANHELP MCI).

You may start your journey with the requirements listed in HHELP THRALL.

Further scrolls will also need to be read for progression through the

House:

HHELP STANDINGORDERS

HHELP DECORUM

HHELP MENTORS

HHELP PROGRESSION

HHELP MINERALS

CHELP FALCONS

With us, you will learn to thrive in the zealous pursuit of

intellectual, spiritual and physical challenges the world has to offer

you.

Through us, the will of the Master shall be made manifest as we turn our

strengths externally to the conversion.. or destruction of the numerous

heathens existing upon His lands.

As one of us, you will further hoist the crimson, escarbuncle-decorated

banner poles of Mhaldor onto your shoulders and march through

heathen-infested villages and territories, widely practicing subversion

through public proselytization of the Seven Truths of Evil.

If these heathens will not come to your public sermons and

demonstrations, then you will go to them directly, for this is God's

work and thus, it is our duty to interact in a face-to-face setting with

them. Bold with our steps, we stop at nothing, utilizing any and all

means to ensure heathens realize the existence of the Truths deep within

themselves. Resistance to these inevitable truths of survival will be

quelled and swept away by the rising tide of atrocity that follows after

our merciless footsteps.

We are the enforcers of the Mhaldorian agenda. We are the Dread Legates.

"If you're not with us, then you're against us."
