Tazlure

Oh. Gosh. Although I have been absent for a while I am shocked by this news. I want to thank Maeve and all the other GDs and staffmembers for making Tazlure such an amazing site. I first came on here when I was 16, and very lonely. The amazing welcome that was given to me even though I was a pretty ...

Hi everyone,

I realise I've been MIA for ages. I've been feeling really guilty about it!

Is it too late to post something for the recess and jump back into the game? I miss you all.

Mairi xxx

ooc: so sorry, have been slightly MIA due to university work and suchlike. ic: Mairi was about to enter the room when the Count left. As he came out of the doorway she bowed her head respectfully and spoke. "My lord, if I may trouble you just for a moment...I believe we are close to reaching a ...

Mairi hardly knew what to do next. Her mind was filled with worry; but she had made her decision and she must now stay strong. "So we can try and get an armistice tomorrow," she said, thinking aloud. "And then I shall return to the Citadel, briefly, and try and gather some support. Tr...

Mairi needed to talk to the Count, but she wasn't quite sure what she was going to say. Should she put all her cards on the table right now? She could feel the tension all the way down her spine. Gods. She was probably about to make the biggest mistake in the history of Tazlure. She entered the ship...

"Yer right, it would be a very bitter war. I don't want to even contemplate that either," Mairi replied, shivering slightly. She withdrew into thought for a flicker or two, imagining Erwin's fury if she told him what she was going to do. Imagining his disappointment. But if she succeeded? ...

ooc: sorry for slow posting, was on holiday ic: "Council debates are not conducted with clubs and swords!" Mairi replied angrily. But somewhere inside she knew he was right - the politicians just stabbed each other in the back, sometimes literally, a different kind of conflict from that of...

So if the Duke must forgo his profits from our whiskey, then he should do it, or he should use the coin to make sure we have enough supplies to see us through the poor season Mairi bit her lip. The Duke was hardly likely to agree to foregoing the whiskey profits when that was his main interest in I...

Mairi nodded as the large man described his desire for a peaceful resolution. She gave a large sigh - the clan factionalism he revealed was nothing new. And don't they just make everything a hundred times more complicated with their squabbling? she thought to herself. One might have thought that in ...

Crikey thought Mairi. I wouldn't like to run into this fellow on a dark night! . Still, he seemed fairly polite, dismissing his colleague in that way. She returned his nodded greeting. "Well, as you may know Mr. O'Brien, I'm from Skara myself. My mam's a MacDermot. But I'm working for the Coun...

Thanks Turelie

Mairi made her way down to the harbour just before the fifth mark, and quickly located the warehouse in which she'd been able to borrow a room. For the last few days she had been thinking carefully about how to approach the next phase of negotiation. Her mind turned briefly to the Citadel as she ent...

Mairi was intrigued to learn that the O'Briens were most receptive to compromise. She felt that little more could be accomplished that night, but the next day sent a message to the O'Brien clan requesting a meeting with a representative of the clan on the 25th, at the fifth mark of Morningtide, at a...

Grey Wolf, you are an awesome mod and much better than me back in the day when I used to mod in Dort!

I would definitely back you up on your point - modding is great fun, and I would still be doing it if it weren't for my pesky degree. Everyone should give it a go!

Mairi blushed deeply as the Duke gave his thinly veiled criticism, and she hoped he wouldn't notice. She was, more than she liked to admit, somewhat desperate for his approval. "I...uh...of course, your Grace," she replied, hardly knowing what to say in response to the cold rebuke. She fol...

Mairi could hardly believe what Gwayne and then Gavin were saying. She began to get angry, feeling a frustration simmering below the surface as Gavin accused her of arrogance. This was not what was needed - petty insult slinging. Of course she felt she her position was right - she was here to argue ...

Mairi watched as another began to speak. I would prefer lower taxes and better cooperation over full independence. We are masters over our own destiny anyway Now, that was something she could use. Someone was talking some sense. Bickering over titles and Independence can be done when all are save.. ...

Mairi was slightly confused about what this woman was doing here if she wasn't even from Dort, and the last thing she wanted was a load of mumbo jumbo superstitious talk. However there was a message to be salvaged from what had been said. "Stones?" she replied to Syra's speech. "Let's...

We want independence... Well, thought Mairi. We kind of already knew that. She suppressed an odd urge to giggle. In truth the spirit of the clansmen scared her slightly. The Duke scared her even more. She'd never seen him like this, so angry. "Your Grace, I...I do not think you should let them...

You'll probably pick up quite a bit of history and background knowledge through play. Time in Taz also moves fairly slowly, so you will have plenty of opportunity to read through the wiki and other threads if you wish to. Furthermore, you don't need to know the history of the whole world...the wiki ...

Mairi was glad indeed that she had two political heavyweights by her side. The Count's nod and smile of recognition gave her some more courage, although she could see that he was nervous too. The Duke, on the other hand, seemed daring, although of course that could all have been bravura. Finally the...

The vows were said; the marriage was complete. Mairi couldn't help but smile as the couple were joined. There was such hope in the air, such joy and such expectation - and it was infectious. She was surprised to find a flower landing in her lap. What was it supposed to symbolise again? Luck, certain...

It was strange to be back, to swap the strong scents of the Citadel - street vendors, perfume, peasants - for the salty, earthen aroma of Hafne, tinged as it was with fish and woodsmoke. Mairi had changed from the fashionable dress she had worn to the wedding into a simple Clan style outfit purchase...

Anyone else feeling the urge to hum 'sunrise, sunset' whilst reading the wedding threads?

Okay. Firstly - some brave and very bold moves here. It can't be easy to take a system that has been tried and tested for so long and remould it. I suspected that you might introduce a regular recess after the first one recently. I had a look at Age of Intrigue with a view to playing (although I nev...
