Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

What had once been a rough timber settlement clustered around a lonely heart-tree had grown into a city. Nearly twelve thousand people lived within its walls and outer villages, and more than half of them were children. Beyond the Wall, that fact...

The room felt much more vibrant after that.
Harwin helped Osmund into a chair, still keeping an eye on him. The young knight kept flexing his hands, touching his chest, laughing under his breath like a man rediscovering his own body.

The weeks that followed were spent not in spectacle or expansion, but in the quieter, harder work of assimilation.
The penanced sailors were deliberately kept ashore, housed within the city rather than sent back to sea. Officially, it was to keep an eye on them. In truth, it was just as...
