Shireroth

I guess I have a couple of gripes with Scott. He's always dreaming up grand new ideas, but never follows through with ninety percent of them. Sometimes it's legitimate time constraints, sometimes it's that he grows bored of them, and other times it's that he's too afraid to do anything about them un...

I swore an oath, a long time ago, that if Goldshire should become independent, I would return to witness its glories and perhaps, in my small way, add to them. So has it been. But I am no longer fully mortal, and my destiny no longer lies in mortal hands or in mortal lands. Once again, I must turn s...

The Duchy of Goldshire, old as the Empire and sanctified by the love of its people, reaffirms its status as a full Duchy of Shireroth, subject to none save the Kaiser and the Gods. May the four thousand years of history that created us guide us through future trials. I. CULTURE Goldshire is a green ...

I must say, while your pictures are pretty, something about having both beautiful white sand beaches and pillars of ice in the same city makes this post seem a little rough around the edges, not to mention Rivendell, Big Ben, huge stratospheric mountains on a coastal plain, and portals to other dime...

The Duchy of Goldshire, which has taken back the absent Ynnraile's Landsraad votes and changed totals around a little, votes AYE (7).

Great Rishi, in accordance with your request on the General Forum I have ordered my cartographers to produce a terrain and infrastructure map of all of Goldshire, and I am happy to say they are now finished.

I am torn between admiration of your pursuit of excellence in your subordinates, and total disbelief that you would expect this to have any effect besides convincing people to go to other Baronies with other rulers.

No, we should not. The title "Baron" has been part of Shirerithian history for at least five years now, and is still the standard in five out of the six Duchies. One would need a good reason to change it, and despite the antics of the Earl of Dolor, so far none has been provided. I will mention thre...

It is with great disappointment and dejection that I accept your resignation, Count Santelran. I hope that when your citizenship issues are sorted out you can return to us. In the meantime, Aryeztur is my emissary to the Landsraad and Harvey is Fishday Duke of Misrule. I am accepting applications fr...

Your first order is to fly that huge flag above Elwynn so that it blocks out the sun. Let's see how cocky the Elwynnese are when their crops wither and their cities freeze!

I am sending you technical specifications that explain the concept in greater detail.

It reminds me of the Albany mini-convention where I met Ryan and Chris the Antican. There must be a picture somewhere...ah, here we go.

Yvain Wintersong.

Someone track down that Tristan fellow before he runs off. Ary (may I call you Ary?) you were going to get him in your Barony, weren't you?

"Never before has any voice dared to utter that name in Goldshire, Harvey the Blue," said Yvain, as the shadow passed and the company breathed once more. "And let us hope that none will ever speak it here again," answered Harvey.

You bet you didn't, if you know what's good for you!

Hail the Vajrites, slayers of evil, consumers of bandwidth!

I've been experimenting. Give me a few whiles and I might have something presentable. Right now I'm at

さむらい? どうして? ぼく も にほん の れきし が すき です が, たぶん きんこく の ていむは まだ チョと ちがい, ね?

Shush, don't go telling all of my secrets to the new people now. You never let me have any fun...

You may not be entirely aware that Mr. Calvani is already a proud citizen of Goldshire. So shoo! Shoo before I chase you all off with a rolled-up newspaper!

Welcome to Goldshire, Mr. Calvani. Duke Ari, please give Tristan a shiny new golden user name. Mr. Noseworthy's not a citizen of Shireroth, just a member of our community centered around the Micronational Cartography Society (MCS). I've already told him you're here, so hopefully you'll be hearing fr...

People of Goldshire, I will be brief. In more ways than one. I left Shireroth behind many years ago, and I neither can nor would return to the mortal realm permanently. But it amuses me to briefly try my hand at ruling this land I love. While I do, you will be loyal and courageous, as befits nobles ...

Ah, Mr. Calvani, welcome to Shireroth. It's not every day you see a real live Ameradan. I have only vague and scattered memories of those days - MicroMonde, Earl Washburn, unusual election practices - but our community still enjoys the presence of a Mr. Sinclair, once called Mr. Noseworthy, who's th...

My friends...no...make that "my subjects"...let no one ever say nothing good comes of hanging around talking to Harvey about nothing in particular in #micronations late at night. Now, where'd I put my ordering-people-around sceptre? Ah, yes, right here, next to my ceremonial sceptre and my oversized...

Garm and Pol edged cautiously through the fringes of the forest near Daneannis, each stealing glances at the other, then nervously looking at his feet as if to deny he had done any such thing. Scared? No, of course not. That's why Garm had accepted Pol's dare, and why Pol had cavalierly agreed to Ga...

Eight people said they had seen the ship leave Syrelwynn in the pre-dawn light. They all agreed on certain details. It had been a white ship with white sails, flying a strange flag. It had sailed against the wind. And Duke Yvain Wintersong had been on it, smiling sadly as he gazed back at the land h...

http://www.raikoth.net/Stuff/unjewellers.gif Hear ye, hear ye! This 11th day of Qarbsmoon, 3294, I, Duke Yvain Wintersong of Brookshire, name a new Master Unjeweller of the Unjewellers' Guild! This Master Unjeweller will be responsible for collecting taxes of at least 100 erb per month, starting wi...

In the Pre-Raynorian and Raynorian eras, the jewellers of Musica were famous across Benacia. Gold from Goldshire mostly ended up at the delta city, where goldsmiths and gem-carvers would fashion it into golden rings, golden necklaces, golden torcs, or golden whatevers, and thensend the finished pro...

But...but...the bounties on the act are mostly less than the bounties you're proposing be the new standard, yet you titled this thread "reducing the citizenship bounty". Take a look. Assuming everyone goes to each position from the next highest: Commoner: +50 on the DAFA, +50 on your first post Baro...

Oh, sorry. For those of you who don't speak Acronym, what I meant to say was that the Landsraad recently passed the Distribution and Fraud Act, which included the following change to the bounties system: 1. All new citizens shall receive 50 erb upon joining Shireroth. 2. Any citizen who achieves a h...
