@Thalionwen Hunigfolm dear when you have a chance, can you add Druviz Kadar (Dread-Insect Tent) to the Black Market roster? An apiary that specializes in murder hornets and wasps for a variety of purposes from surveillance to assassinations. Special orders available upon request, owned by Fleeg.

You are the best!

@Thalionwen Hunigfolm

I have been informed by the great and all knowing @Sil Denafil that I must put up a tattoo shop in the black market...
The character that will be running it is called Umoya, she is a Haradrim, and the shop will be called Grijakeren (Probably Grelvish orcish but should mean Blood Iron)

I await your approval and then will post up setting up shop

@Fuin Elda and @Mama's Murder Muffin, shops are added to the Black Market, sorry about the wait, we had our official first week of homeschool this week and then the kids and I all caught the stomach flu over the weekend :brickwall:

Homeschool! As long as you remember to teach them that bears are the best I will forgive you, and I'll throw in a few murder hornets for you when you get a chance to pick up that blood you ordered from Fleeg like three months ago :rofl:

Oof though, stomach flu is nasty, hope you're all feeling better!

@Thalionwen Hunigfolm awesome will get my shop up tonight and I at least wasn't waiting terribly long at all. I do hope we will get some people getting stabbed once it's up. I'll be upset if Sil doesn't show up lol

Hey @Moriel Can I join in with Delgaran at the Angmar thread? Any ideas how I can join? Should Fenrir just enter Delgaran's throne room unsummoned?

@Fenrir Absolutely! She’s busy with someone else at the moment but you could show up and wait your turn, or/and interact with Belzagar (@Sil) who may still be hanging out outside the throne room :grin:

Attention all!


Going to start a short mission-like rp with the Mordor Army. If you are Mordorian you are welcome to join in! Assembly is in the Army thread and will then move to the Land of Shadows free rp thread (dont need to join the army to join in!). If you want to be on the other side, let me know and we can work something out!

@Elenhir @Lady of Shadow Just wanted to let you know I edited your posts in the Army rp. The very first post you make in there earns you a renown :) So just corrected your renown to 1. Just so you know that next time you post, it will be 2 ;)

No rush, since the thread may pick up again after Halloween season is over (I'm hoping the Hall of Judgement one will too, since it's been way past the five day sign up period). I only switched back earlier than I was planning because I'm close to ranking up (it would have been too hard if I still had one of the Halloween icons). :smile:

You can freely go up/down/sideways with the ranks, it doesnt cost! Also the Halloween ones arent connected to any kingdom so once you want to go to a specific rank that you meet the requirements to, you can :) @Lady of Shadow Just in case you want an icon for Halloween ;)
I am hoping to get a post up today though, got a redundancy meeting to go to first though :( Wish me luck!

Hi all! In the old plaza I had the rank of Dildhan. What rank equivalent should I start with now?

Hey @Fenrir! According to my records of old versions of the Black Host, Dildhan was the second of five "normal" ranks. The current divisions of the Host have 7-8 ranks each, so my guess would be that you should start one the second or third rank up in your chosen division (see Black Host - Free Army RP for details). But it's @Winddancer's thread, so she could confirm for sure!

P.S. I saw your post in Angmar and will try to get back to you in the next few days! I've been having a whirlwind time IRL and not much activity the last few weeks, but I'm getting back in the loop now :grin:

So the "new" army is not really a new army. It is basically a thread where you can RP your Army life and gather renown to rise in the ranks so you know when you have a promotion without anyone telling you when you are promoted. It was done so that the thread could run on it's own and no one had to wait around for a trainer to respond as that was my biggest gripe :P

Like I said in the thread itself, if you loved your old rank and want to RP as that, then go ahead, but there are no real like for like ranks now. So either start over and work your way up, or go about your business as Dildhan and then pick something that is similar if you want to progress from that. There is no "power" with the ranks now. It's not like you can get to the top one and get to boss everyone around :P If you want to start a RP and take minions on a mission, go for it (mine died *cries*) you do not need permission for that and you gain renown for each post made in that mission too! RP as a Captain/Over Lord/Power hungry nut all you want :P The army thread is just a way to do some free rp in the army setting, as it is not about the rank but about the rp itself. Make sense?

I'm thinking of starting a story line involving Naelia's half-sister, Lathana. I mentioned in a few posts that she escaped, so I would like to start something where Naelia finds out about this (she had a little help in my latest Thief Hunt post, so she knows something is up) and attempts to track her down, so would the Army thread be a good place to start with this story line, or should I post in the Free RP thread? Just thought that I would throw this idea here and see what others thought, since it might be a good Army mission (since the last one kind of died).

I'm afraid I'm partially to blame for that. I got hit with burnout and imposter syndrome at the same time and it was hell climbing out of. I apologize for letting it all hang in the wind like that. I will be getting to that soon though and we can pick it back up maybe?

@Boromir88 consider yourself stalked :googly: I saw in your nomination post about how you like Mafia and were thinking of converting it to a forum based game! I actually did that years ago on the OP and brought it back recently here on Nu Plaza, in the form of Hall of Judgement! We played a round and were going to go again, but Halloween derailed that. It'll be back before long though! If it's something you might be interested in running, I'm happy to share- give me a poke on discord!

And of course, I don't lay claim to sole rights of adaptation, so if you wanted to launch your own version I'll look forward to seeing it :grin:

@Moriel, oooh thank you! Yes that's exactly it, just different names for the roles but essentially the same game. I liked being a player more than running it so I will pass on running one for the time being. Thank you, because now I know where to look and I will be signing up for the next one. :grin:

@Tarawen heh, thank you. :lol: I was telling Sil before I didn't RP much because I was someone who seemed to have permanent writer's block. I had to plan out everything that I wanted to get accomplished and that would lead to nowhere except me pacing around for hours. I'm starting to understand when friends have said not knowing what's going to happen until they start writing! Nothing cures writer's block like just start typing anything, even nonsense and then the thrill of having no idea what my character will do next. I'm definitely enjoying it, thank you.

@Moriel oh well that looks interesting too. Marvelous. :grin:

ChAoS! While Frost and a few others are planned and outlined, Fleeg has never once been planned. I never know what idiocy I will be putting him through.

Welcome to the club @Boromir88! One would never know you've barely started RPing, you're doing a fantastic job.

Responsibility and Fleeg do not go well together, his apiary is aggressively a bad idea that has a count down of impending disaster
