Greetings! I'm glad you've found your way to our applications section; I'm Duke Nicholas, your Minister for Applications and Settlement and /u/Captain_Mayday, if you've found us through our recent reddit advertising.
As a matter of course, to start out I'll point you in the direction of our FAQ:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=192. If you haven't seen it already, it offers a good introduction to the basic principles and traditions of the Mercurian Empire. You may also want to check out our Applicant Introduction, where I go in-depth on the application process:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=58.
Now, on to your application!
As others have said, many a stranger has reached us who hails from a nation far to our south; what many realms there must be, undiscovered by us, past our great Border Mountains! A such, we have a long tradition of welcoming those who have found their way to us; I have no doubt our trend will continue.
I see you are a gifted physician? Does this indicate an affinity with the arts of potion-making, perhaps? In any case, I look forward to learning more about you good sir: did Vegeuros have a family? How far did he travel and how was the journey?
Finally, I would appreciate it if you could provide some answers to a few questions I typically ask of new applicants:
-Does Avalon have any special skills he could bring to Hermertia? (Redstone engineering, architecture, farming, you name it.)
-Are you particular to building in certain biomes?
-If you ran into conflict where you and another player wanted to build in the same location, how would you resolve the issue?
-Do you have any past builds you could show off?
I'll leave these thoughts with you good sir! Over the next bit you should see some more of the community respond to your application; many will no doubt have questions of their own. Again, I'll refer you to our discussion of the application process (
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=58) for the run-down of what you can expect next. While you're waiting, I absolutely encourage you to take a look around the forums at the many different aspects of life in Hermertia, and to shoot me a pm or reply here with any questions you might have.
Until then, I'll leave off with an introduction to the Imperial motto since time immemorial:
For Glory!
