But... was it really all for a horse?

Is a druid palemaster a viable class/prc combination?

Amazing. A+ dudes.

In all seriousness though, don't make Papa Howlando mad, if you get inspiration, at least change the names a bit.  ;)

On February 2, 2021, my dad died suddenly due to heart failure, a combination of obesity, alcoholism, and drug use caused him to expire prematurely and suddenly. It was sudden, swift, and heart breaking. Grief and depression put me in a dark spot as I dealt with the sudden loss of close family. He was a man who adopted my brother and I brother after marrying my mom, a man who backed me in no matter what I did, even if he expressed his disapproval, and ensured I could lead a comfortable life. He was a role model and a upstanding man of principles who fought his own demons while being the best father he could, and I miss him dearly still.

When I made Grindler Deeprock, I wanted to find something to laugh at again, and EFU's environment and its own brand of absurdist humor appealed to me greatly. I wanted to bring Deeprock Galactic to EFU, a video game I've spent hundreds of hours playing as it truly is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The premise of the game is that you're dwarves fighting back hordes of insectoid monsters in order to mine minerals for the Company you work for, and part of the fluff lore is that Karl, a missing miner, is well, missing. I transplanted this largely into EFU, a clan of dwarves who lived deep beneath the earth in the Underweald of Ring 98, wanting nothing to do with the world beyond, but forced to interact with it as the closest settlements were the Peerage Ward, the ponds, all human dominated wards.

I admittedly copy/pasted much of this lore/plot/fluff into EFU, and in retrospect, I should have at least changed names. However, in retrospect again, I didn't expect this to turn into a two month journey of Grindler and friends journeying repeatedly into the bowels of the earth, uncovering secrets of the Chitinoid Empire beneath and working beside alien allies to find Thane Karl Deeprock.

Grindler was a dwarf who hated the Peerage Ward but respected that the humans bled, fought, and died for this territory, and it was their place to set the rules and traditions within. He didn't want to rock boats, and sought to ally himself firmly to House Glitt, tantalizing and gifting relics of the King to them in exchange for a light shield of support from the antics of other Retainers belonging to other houses, if tossing the notion of clan fealty to the house in exchange for their aid in finding Karl Deeprock, their Thane.

None of it came to pass, of course, the Clan knew it couldn't fulfill the obligations of fealty to the Glitt, but the retainers of the House entertained it and protected them off and on, and that was enough to operate in the Peerage with little interference of the other Great Houses. He gathered supplies, met with allies, worked on behalf of the nobles, all to secure resources to find Karl.

The first break through came when they spotted a White Scarabi Titan after causing a Scarabi Swarm in the Infested Chambers, upon its chitinous head lay Karl's Axe.



And we met strange Scarabi Personalities...



But sadly, in the end, we failed our mission, but I am satisfied with the end of the story.



Thank you EFU for giving me a chance to laugh in grief and make a meme into a dream.

There should be a box dedicated to 'what you're applying for' so it can't be  lost in the other boxes.

iii.        Messenger NPCs should not be given messages that "roleplay" the NPC or would be reasonably considered as implausible (they deliver messages, they are not parrots or looking to make particularly controversial messages).

This should specifically mention the herald in the Burgage, as she shouldn't cry out anti-establishment against the Count, King, etc...

5.   Graphic depictions of torture are prohibited. Where extreme violence does occur, players must avoid detailed descriptions of harms inflicted.

I suggest this be reworded somewhat, as some scenes of this server (and certain Tchunite randoms) are psychologically quite disturbing

More along the lines of,

5. While EFU explores themes of darkness, torture, and psychological insanity from time to time, it is recommended that players pursuing these themes do not go into detail when inflicting this sort of behavior on others.

Not a big deal, but these guards seem to stand in the same spot constantly and I think this is perhaps not intended.

It's consistently unviewable for me, regardless of relogging or other hak appearances in the game.

Resurrecting bug report.

I played a generalist and did just fine?

This doesn't seem particularly needed.

The Infested Chambers are below the Drips, and should probably apply for FE vermin given the beetle menace present.
