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.
The wind gently struck the windows of Lady Lusignan's chambers as she listened to the morning report.
Seated beside the fire, she kept her eyes fixed on an open letter. In front of her, an older woman stood with her hands clasped over her stomach.
"What news do you bring me today?" Lady...
The following morning, Edmund rang Graymont's bells.
It was not the first time the main square had gathered much of the city, but this time, people arrived with a different kind of curiosity. Rumors about the new furnace had begun circulating among the blacksmiths, miners, and merchants, and no...
Edmund stood beside the furnace, watching as the flames began to stabilize. The air in the backyard was filled with smoke, charcoal, and the harsh smell of hot metal. Beside him, a middle-aged blacksmith examined the furnace with a mixture of curiosity and distrust.
His name was Bram, and over...
Days had passed since his inspection of the mines, and his responsibilities only seemed to be increasing. Edmund had met with all the city's officials to understand how everything worked, but it was the same old story: foolish loyalty to tradition, or incompetence and corruption within the...
Barov opened his mouth, probably to remind him that there were still pending matters, but ended up closing it. After a brief bow, he left the chambers to carry out the order.
Edmund did not take long to get ready.
He left behind the formal clothes he had worn the previous day and chose the...
The next morning, Edmund woke up before dawn.
For a few seconds, he remained motionless, looking at the wooden ceiling of his chambers. The silence of the fortress was barely interrupted by the distant sound of boots on the stone floor and by the murmur of the servants beginning their work.

Edmund could feel someone calling him.
"My lord, please wake up…"
He looked away, but the sounds he had heard did not disappear. Instead, they grew even louder. Then, he felt someone gently tugging at his sleeve.
"My lord!"
Edmund's eyes snapped open. His familiar surroundings had...
I double-checked the air filters, making sure there were no faults or errors in the luggage. We had prepared as much as possible for this excursion, hoping to map the area. We had all decided on roles based on our abilities.
"It will be fine... "I muttered to myself.
I looked around and saw...
The weather in Zaun was hard to explain, its function was as complex as all the things that happened in the district, but the mornings were always inexplicably cold for us.
This morning the purifiers had barely begun to dissipate the clinging fog when I woke up, it had been three days since we...
I looked up at the rooftops once more and watched as the buildings appeared and disappeared with flickering lights. we had gotten some old dynamo flashlights, they were good enough for us to see around us, but not everything. There were shadows in the place that provided plenty of hiding places...
Climbing back down along with the others, we climbed out of the into the filthy alleys we visualized from where we were, it had been quite a feat getting down after we made sure everything had stopped.
"You made it guys" sounded Lily's excited voice from between the alleys, along with her...
Instead of going directly into the junkyard, we made a detour through all the surrounding areas, we had planned from the beginning that we should study the area to avoid similar events, Mark and Yutong both now and in the past had chosen the worst route to escape, a building in ruins.
We hid...
The view of the Zaun sky used to be the little light coming from the filtered through the smoke and ash that was generated in a tangle of pipes that were discharged from Piltover, but today those little rays of light were impossible to see. They were almost impossible to see with all the...
