To the most honourable Lords and Ladies of Hermertia,
I come to you looking for help, seeking refuge and a new start. Let me introduce myself, my name, is Palsaerd Phoenixbaine. I was born in Emberdale, north of Spiritwharf, beyond Glimmercliff and the great Castle Pass. However, through a strange sequence of events I find myself without a home and without friends.
The volcanic ground that once cradled the great Emberdale, was a flourishing tranquil paradise, full of life and a marvel to behold. As a humble farmer, life for me was mostly peaceful, but hard working. Life was good.
One evening, as the lake was illuminated by the high moon, the ground began to shake. My lantern fell from it's hook, my animals became restless, they were scared. "What could it be?" I thought. I looked back at the lake, it was bubbling, steam began to rise and had a smell resembling rotten eggs. I had no idea what it was.
Some local villagers were also on high alert and investigating the lake. Fish were appearing on the surface and an orange glow began to appear. It was worse than we thought. An explosion happened, further up the lake, towards the main village.
We ran to the village, it was covered in molten lava, the ash was suffocating, the smell horrendous. Men, women and children, burned alive. Suddenly, another explosion, my animals trapped. Another, my home ruined, my livelihood in tatters.
I watched powerlessly, as the village I loved and lived in all of my life, was consumed, leaving me no choice but to head East. So, I decided to gather my meagre possessions and flee, leading me to you now.
I humbly request that I may join your society and make a new life for myself and help others where I can.
I respectfully await your decision.
Thank you for your time.
Lore Off: I’ve been out of the Minecraft community for a little while and have been advised that your community is ‘right up my street’. From what I’ve read and seen, you guys seem great and I would love to help the community, not just in Minecraft but anywhere I can.
I like big builds, I once spent around 8 months on a massive castle that was so big, we had to build a fully working train station with rails leading to different areas and on max render distance, you couldn’t see end to end. However, I also enjoy making small villages and taverns, experimenting with new ideas.
I’m still looking for evidence of my builds in ‘the cloud’ to no avail. As soon as I do, I will post some, if it’s taking too long, i’ll just make some
