Cio What was once a vacation spot run by some very quizzical outsiders has become something so much more. Cio is a beautiful and still very popular spot for site seers and travelers. Along the sandy beaches lay various abodes, heavily modeled after the city close by (Gao Shan), free for use while in the area. A mysterious red head only known by the name of "Miserable" tends to the cabins and shacks in her free time. Of course, running off those who make themselves a little 'too' comfortable every now and again. The warm waters of the very shallow lake have been rumored to soothe aches and pains, making it a must see travel destination even in the colder months. Year Incorporated: 10,015 Updates

Sterilis Sterilis: Meaning Barren. That is exactly what you will come to find here. Most of the sand is un-fertile, and uninhabitable. The mass stretches for thousands of miles. Not many risk the trek through, often opting to travel around or teleport. Located in central Simul, the large landscape is not exactly a frequently traversed one. Most avoid the area not only due to the harsh conditions, but rumors of dragons and other terrible beasts that call it home. There is a city among the sands, and those who desire rest and relaxation can and will trek through to see it. Updates

Library of Shit Category BREAKING NEWS Calor 20th, 10,017 BREAKING NEWS Calor 20th, 10,017 Hello citizens of Simul. I come to you today to report on developing news brought to you directly from our fair capital city. It was reported at 5:34 AM, constables were dispatched to the second level of Eleutheria near the intersection of Starwind and East where they quickly found a morbid scene. There have been a total of 47 fatalities and an unknown amount of injuries. According to witnesses and constable reports thus far, a grouping of fifteen robed figures descended upon the area and began knocking on doors just a couple of hours before. Apparently, they had been asking people for donations in hopes that they could gain access to unlocked homes. It has been said that this is when people were pulled from their homes and forced to line the road. The next details are not for the faint of heart. Please read with extreme caution: Those who were forced into the street were tied to one another and gagged to stifle their screams and protests. There seemed to be a ‘leader’ who then began speaking with a booming voice. From some videos that were taken with witnesses’ Telegems, the words spoken were: “People of Simul, it should come as no surprise that peace is nothing but a broken promise. Us magical and non-human people will never forget the trials and torture we have had to endure over the years. To this day, we still suffer in silence, dealing with your negative opinions, views, and prejudice while you all claim we coexist. It is time for us to take this land back. This is not our end. Only yours.” From there, the victims were set alight with what could only be described as lightning and fire magic. We only know it was magic due to witness testimonies and video evidence. This situation has prompted Ferren, our stand-in leader of Simul, to release the following statement and judgment: “Citizens of Simul, As horrible as this sounds, we need to do something drastic in order to keep our kingdom safe. From the moment this statement is released, all non-human and/or magical beings, items, etc MUST BE PURGED FROM ELEUTHERIA. Henceforth until further notice, Eleutheria will become a “Human Only District”. Those of you who reside within the walls of the capitol that must be displaced, please make your way to the nearest post office or city entrance for a voucher to make your transition to a new city easier. All magic and non-humans must leave the city limits within the next 24 hours. All establishments that sell/manufacture/teach magic must be shut down. As much as I would love to keep Simul whole, these attacks have fractured our safety and peace of mind in ways that will take time to mend. Please have patience and hold kindness for your neighbor. Ferren Drebek.” This is Lucius Scarletwound, reporting the news. Stay safe Simul. Send Send Send Send No Updates Yet Most Recent Update None yet Views Back to Top

Library of Shit Updates Heading 2 Ale and Assholes Begins April 29th - May 2nd (Or til someone is announced the winner) The time for Kraghumlin Dimtoe to open the doors of Dun'Lorn for all has come again! Every year, the best of the best come together for insults and ale. Those who want are all welcome to join in a different kind of battle for the season. In the spirit of opening doors and becoming friends, the dwarven people of Dun'Lorn have come up with a great way to share laughs and smiles and even some back slaps. Once inside of the arena, the party of contenders will be presented with a table that holds twenty mugs of the magical ale they refuse to share the recipe for, for each person. Now, we all know the limit is twenty, so this is where things get great! Each person will have a chance to insult the other. Come up with the greatest insults for the laughs, but roll the dice to see if you must drink. Once you reach twenty, you are done. It's how it works. The magical ale knows no bounds and WILL cause your character to pass out after twenty (Or if the bot ends the event, so, whoever has drank the most). However, this is a contest of wits and stamina. If your character can make it to twenty first, they will be declared the victor! Don't worry though, there are dwarves on standby to make sure you get to a nice comfy bed and their tonic to flush their system. Post Setup: 📌Your character's insult to anyone else at the table 📌Roll 1d20 📌If your number is 5 or below, your character(s) does not drink 📌If your number is 6 or above, your character takes a drink 📌No character minimum for posts 📌You can post every hour (Drop in Drop out) The character that wins will have their last insult posted in Hall of Fame and will gain the custom role title of "Ascended Asshole". The winner of the year previous should (optional) make a speech before handing off the crown (The title will be taken from them and put onto the new winner)! The winner will also receive the MUG OF POWER. The mug will fill with the famous Dun'Lorn ale whenever the user chooses. This item is breakable, but soulbound (Meaning the winner is the only one who can cause it to fill). Send Send Send Send No Updates Yet Most Recent Update Views Back to Top

Oak Silva Deep within the Southern Forest lies a hidden gem. Oak Silva is a village among the trees! Generally a very quiet place despite being a few day's travel or so to Vex, Oak Silva is rather serene and silent. Many magical beings such as Fae, Changelings, and Mages have made this city their home. Home to many, just as the rest of Simul, you can find peace and welcoming arms. Or wings. Or fuzzy paws. In other words, be prepared to see all sorts of forest dwelling creatures and people here. None are turned away. Unless, of course, they are trouble makers. The city's Constables make sure that the unwalled city stays a safe haven for those within. Year Incorporated: 272 Population: Approximately 16,000 Human: 45% Elven: 22% Dwarven: 10% Other: 23% Magically Inclined: Approximately 36% Updates Book Mark The Book Mark, located in the beautiful forest City of Oak Silva, holds some of the oldest mage written literature. It is not exactly the biggest library in Simul, but it hold just as much valuable information, if not more, than the rest. Most magic wielders tend to make their way toward Sudbury, but Oak Silva is a treasure trove of information! The main owner, Tasach, a high elf, is always willing to help you find just what you are looking for. Sarah The Sage One of the oldest known Sages in Simul, Sarah has a reputation of also being one of the best healers and midwives in the land. She is highly sought after for expectant mothers and fathers. Especially since her mortality rate is nearly zero. Be prepared when walking into Sarah's home. It is MUCH bigger and regal on the inside. The Well The Well is a jail maintained by the denizens of Oak Silva that is named for the fact that it is underground, accessed through a well-like staircase in the middle of town. It is here where the occasional forest creature that gets too rough and tumbly is kept, as well as visitors to the town who violate the local laws. The entrance to the Well is guarded day and night by powerful forest creatures. The jailer is a mysterious elf named Seth the Silent, who often captures criminals himself to lock them up, said to be quiet as a mouse. Fairly Famished A tavern run by one of the local fairies, Fairly Famished is a quiet little tavern with nature-themed decoration. With the help of her bear bouncer Borgis, the owner, Salindria, makes sure everyone coming in leaves with a full belly and a happy heart. It is rumored that she often sprinkles fairy dust into the ale she provides for some extra kick. Beararmed Butchers A butcher shop run by a bear of a man, rumored to be half-bear, even, named Oward the Strong. He provides quality meat and even helps out with heavy lifting around time on his time off. Much of the meat he provides comes from some of the bigger, scarier beasts from around the woods, so his meat is often tough, chewy, and carries the taste of something well-earned. Enchanting Elixers He may be old, but Whulgac is a very experienced potion maker. Often mistaken for a full blown alchemist due to his wide array of concoctions, he never corrects these assumptions. Enchanting Elixers is the most popular potion shop in all of Oak Silva, and for good reason. Menu Here Fairy Grotto The Fairy Grotto is a small park located in Oak Silva. It is so-named for the fact that it is home to several fairy glades, surrounded by dense trees despite the small space. Fairies, as one might expect, often gather here, as do people performing rituals to honor nature. One such owns the gardens. Her name is Kenzie and she is a normal human sized fairy. Ask her about her wings sometime. She could go on for HOURS. Milly's Oven A bakery run by a woman named Milly. She is known for being a kind and endearing woman, a mother of three and a widow. She employs small animals to help her bake, though makes sure that everything still remains sanitary. Smelting Pot A blacksmith based in a tree? Absolutely! Nothing will stop this crazy little elf from making the best made weapons and armor in Oak Silva. You could tell by just looking at her that Elbareth is a bubbly and quite insane little woman. She can still make you a sword with the best of them! All in the forge she has inside of her tree home. Two rooms for twice the work. If you can't find her in one, you will definitely find her in the other. Buzzing around like a fairy on caffeine. Don't worry, it has only caught fire once....

Library of Shit Town Updates Wingston Wingston Messis 2, 10,017 Read more in BREAKING NEWS Laughter and merriment could be heard throughout the kingdom as the farmers were once again celebrating another good harvest. Food and drink flowed freely as the unsuspecting people of Simul were watched from the shadows. Hooded figures lurked just outside of anyone's sight, their eyes set on one target; the very food the farmers were celebrating . Not just what they had harvested already, but all of their fields. Every piece of wheat, bean, or ear of corn was doomed. The robed figures kept watch just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They waited until almost everyone had gone to sleep. Those that remained in the fields or the barns were too drunk to notice anything. Even if they had been sober, they would not be able to stop what was about to happen. Once the robed figures felt it was time to move, they did . Flames roared to life around them to burn every last plant to cinders. Nothing was spared. Nothing. Anything and everything that stood in their way burned with the precious crops. Enough food for dozens of families turned to ash before anyone realized what was going on. The smell of smoke and the sound of roaring flames pulled everyone from their beds. Horror and panic hit everyone who witnessed it. Men, women and children all did what they could to put out the flames...though, their efforts were in vain. The heat from the fires evaporated the water before it could even reach the flames. Screams for water...screams for help. Many could even be heard calling out to the mages they had shunned. Asking... no, begging for help. Those that could have helped cowered behind their locked doors, fearful of what could happen if they rendered aide. Great numbers of magical and non-human beings fled from their homes as registrations became more common, alongside the growing racism against them, leaving the human communities more vulnerable than they had ever dreamed. This was not an isolated incident; farms across the kingdom were burned. Dry Gulch, SkyHaven, Subury, Wingston, Timberholde, Ferax Villum, and even Concordia were hit alongside multiple other villages and farming areas. It was almost the same story at every farm that was burning: Those that could have helped refused. A small few cities managed to save food. Their mages were quick to respond and quell as many of the fires as they could. However, even with their quick actions, much of their food was destroyed. What could be salvaged was inventoried and stored in the safest places people could find. Alongside the massive loss to the winter food supply, hundreds of people and livestock were also slain. The countless lives and resources that were lost in the night left all that witnessed the horrors of it choking on the smoke and ash of their dreams . What witnesses hoped was a sick nightmare was revealed to be anything but. The nightmare was real and no one knew what to do. Cries of sorrow and a strange letter filled the air. The letter was simply written on paper bearing the Guardian's seal; “We of the CONGREGATION will not be silent. If the King won't hear our cries, we will make him. We will starve him out if we have to, along with anyone else who would follow his laws.” The news of all the fires across the kingdom had the streets of Eleutheria humming with hectic whispers or outright blame against magic users. Conspiracy theories about what happened spread like wildfire; The letters from the “CONGREGATION”, and the Guardians had everyone terrified. They were all looking to Ferren for answers. No word came for hours, confirming for the people that what happened was far worse than before. Eventually, Ferren emerged from the castle to stand on the highest balcony of the capitol. His normally charismatic voice was filled with sadness as it echoed through the heart of Simul. Even his appearance suggested he had not slept. His clothes were a rumbled mess and his hair was far from tamed. Redness surrounded his eyes from intense crying. “It is with a heavy heart that I address you all in such a manner. I am sure you have all heard the news by now. Our kingdom…has suffered a tremendous loss. The crops that normally sustain us through the long winter have been destroyed. Burned to a crisp alongside the brave men and women who tried to stop the inferno. Their sacrifice ensured that everyone could gather and defeat our oldest of foes. The cause of the fires is still unknown but we believe it to be a series of horrible accidents. I would love nothing more than to believe that, but with witnesses coming forward, it has been apparent that the attacks were perpetrated by magic users. The best people we have are looking to find the cause of what caused this tragedy…” Ferren's voice cracked as more mist threatened to fall from his eyes, the acting king haphazardly wiped away the tears that never fell as he tried to compose himself. He kept his face hidden for a few minutes in silence before he moved his hands to speak again. “We can move on from this tragedy as one but I need the help of every Simulian. We do not have enough food for the winter. As of today, all food is to be brought here to Eleutheria so it can be rationed out appropriately. All are welcome to come and get your daily meals. Those of you traveling great distances will be allowed to get enough for a few days. Every month, we will be shipping out ration bundles to each city and community to sustain. All magical beings wanting their rations are required to provide their registrations. This is to keep us all safe and uphold peace of mind. We have also decided to place a special barrier around the capitol to help further protect the food we will all need to survive. It kills me to have to do this to you all. Rationing will leave us all hungry as we try our best to make it through these trying times. I encourage everyone to do what they can to provide for their families. If you have extra, please give it to those that need it more than you. Hunters, share your bounties as you get them. Farmers that have lost their crops should reach out to us. We can provide seed to hopefully grow something before the cold seasons hit. We will make it through and come out better for it. May the Gods bless us and help usher us through the trials they felt, we as a people, needed to endure.” "If you have any questions relating to the recent events, any citizen of Simul is welcome to write to me directly. You may also tag Malum Distantia via Simul Social. Please Simul, love thy neighbor as they were your own family. We will succeed." OOC Note: Wingston, as a whole, was very obliged to follow these orders. Send Send Send Send No Updates Yet Most Recent Update None yet Views Back to Top

Library of Shit Category Gao Shan Gao Shan Heims 14, 10,017 BREAKING NEWS (Taken from Simul Quarterly) As someone who is magical, I find myself very concerned with the recent breaking stories we have had to cover here at Coexisting Connections. But it is my duty to keep the people of Simul informed, and I will always keep that promise. Less than 24 hours ago, it was brought to our attention that there was a murder in Gao Shan. 32 year old Yang Da of Gao Shan was murdered in his back garden. According to GSP, Yang was shoveling a path to his back shed when he was attacked. Witnesses stated they they had heard the screams of the young man. One neighbor said they had rushed outside and saw Yang being attacked by an unnamed assailant dressed in dark robes that masked their face. However, it was also reported that the attacker had used a fire magic. "All I saw was fire coming from their hands while they punched and kicked Mr. Da. I tried to climb the gate, but I was too late. The murderer sprouted wings and disappeared into the sky!" GSP ask for the people to keep a vigilant stance and report anything suspect. Our condolences go out to Yang's family. This is Flynn, signing off. Send Send Send Send No Updates Yet Most Recent Update None yet Views Back to Top

Eastern Coast From Gao Shan to just east of Korrig City lays the Eastern Coast of Simul. The southern reaches of this strip of land is nearly sea level. Sandy beaches and warm salty air beckons for a great vacation. However, the more north you trek, the higher the edges of our great kingdom are to the ocean. Eventually, one will run into massive cliffs and can see for miles of beautiful blue. The northernmost tip welcomes back the water-fairing travelers to walk without obstruction into the sea. Updates

Harena Though placed in the heat of desert, this city shines bright with vacationers. An oasis in a barren land, filled with artifacts and people who prefer the "old ways", Harena is a great escape from the cold of society. From the hot springs to the relaxing services you can procure from many shops, this smaller town is known to change the heart of many. Especially when it comes to the thought of what Sterilis holds. The trail is long and difficult, but the trek is worth it. Year Incorporated: 302 Population: Approximately 7,000 Human: 77% Beastkin: 12% Elven: 4% Dwarven: 5% Other: 1% Magically Inclined: Approximately 11% Updates Snake Den The community garden, the Snake Den is a maze of cobblestone pathways where desert plants dot every corner, tended to by alert caretakers. It also acts as a zoo of sorts, also being home to animal habitats of many different desert creatures. It is especially famous for it’s snakes, in particular Great Ahkul, a snake of historic length measuring an entire hundred feet long. The main caretaker, an elf named Zalindra, is always ready and happy to help you if you need anything. Spring has Sprung Spring Has Sprung is a hot springs run by a woman named Shakir. It is a popular spot for young couples and friend groups to spend time and bond together, and it is the best spot in the city to heat yourself up when the cold of the desert’s night air settles in. SandStone Sandstone is a prison where the criminals of Harena are kept. It’s most common occupants are thieves and robbers, since sadly so often wares as exotic and valuable as the ones that grace Harena’s market are too tempting to resist. The warden is a man named Dhul Sharid, and he is a ruthless man who gives the prisoners no quarter. He hates thieves especially. Fire Spire Such a fitting name for an oasis town in the middle of the desert. Fire Spire has everything you are looking for! With such harsh conditions, and an outstanding reputation for well made items, you know you are getting what you pay for. Most armor is enchanted to help keep the metal cool during those hot, sunny days, and warm during the frigid nights. Oddly enough, you will be greeted by half-orcs. Harena is known for upholding Simul's coexisting standards. Not only orcs, but the nicest married orcs you will ever meet! Do not let their gruff exterior fool you. You will not find a friendly pair in all of Sterilis than Raguk and Ignatz Urog! Carpe Librum What oasis would be complete without a beautiful and packed library and book store? Come on in to Carpe Librum where you will find yourself stepping down into the underground building where it is much cooler. What started out as a way to keep cool from the desert sun has molded into people actually reading and purchasing literature. There are a lot of history books on Simul, which makes this library a popular destination for historians and nobles on vacation. The owner, Tami will greet every single person with a sweet smile! Abdul's Beans Abdul’s Beans is a popular coffee shop in Harena, known for serving cold brew to fit the climate of the hot, hot desert. When you need something to keep you awake but not burn your tongue, this is the place to go. Abdul makes certain that every cup is up to his high standards. Undying Sun A tavern owned by an orcish man named Ghrul Makin. He is a very religious man, and often prays while in the midst of his work. The Undying Sun has a sun motif and religious art hangs on the walls, from various faiths. The tavern is famous for its powerful spiced wines, using spices from the market. Mending Ways A large hospital that takes care of most of the city’s sick, funded by a very generous and wealthy man named Khakil Mhadrin, who also helps run the hospital. It is famed for a trio of elven nurses who work there, Mhalim, Mhishra, and Mensra, triplets born with excellent magical healing abilities. When you’re mending this way, you mend quick. Baked in the Sun Baked In The Sun is one of the local bakeries of Harena. Here, one can find a wide variety of pastries, made by the talented baker Hamil Ghindra. They are especially known for their sun-shaped cookies and the many varieties of flavor they manage to lace their cookies with. Cranberry Cures Cranberry is an odd nickname, but this healer wears it with pride! If someone were to ask, she would answer "Look at my skin! I am a living Cranberry!" Cranberry is an amazing tiefling healer with potions and plants and a healing touch as well. Based in Harena, she does see a lot of burns and such. She is also a midwife, able to deliver children with as much ease as possible. Stimulating An odd name for an odd little potion shop. Welcome to Stimulating! We have everything you need for your daily potion making or even completed potions for those who just want to get the job done. Be sure to ask Shera about her special foot cream. Walking for miles won't be a problem! Menu Here Broken Fox The Broken Fox is an oddly named butcher’s shop run by a man named Khalis Ventris, a half-wolf man who is not known for being the kindest of people but is known for the quality of his meats. He has never once had a food poisoned customer, and his meat is always fresh. Notably, he sells the meat of creatures one might not normally sell the meat of, like fennec foxes. For some reason, he seems to hate foxes and fox-like creatures.

Magus Unda Toward the north lies yet another beautiful lake. Magus Unda is just as unique as its name. The second largest lake in Simul, it is home to many water fairing species. It is also home to many...sky creatures. Like dragons. With it being a much lower altitude than the mountains and in such close proximity, a lot of dragon folk like to come to Magus Unda in order to hunt, fish, and drink. Traveling to the massive body of water is actually fairly frequent considering the dangers that lurk. Just one look at it will have anyone captivated. Many have even made the land nearby their homesteads. Traffic has increased over the years, and especially over the last few due to the grow of The Tree of Life within travel distance. The lake itself has always been quite popular due to the natural occurring crystals found beneath the surface toward the middle of its depths. These crystals , with their natural bioluminescence, though common, sell for a decent amount of coin being they are VERY easy to imbue with magics. Come, take a dive, and enjoy one of the best beauties Simul has to offer! Updates

Library of Shit Archived/Retired Simul Quarterly Simul Quarterly Simul Quarterly Issue 1 Hello all Simulians! With our newfound strength and technologies, we here at Coexisting Connections would like to present our first ever Simul Quarterly! We will make it our mission to give the people local and relevant 'gossip' of the kingdom to kee all of you in the know. So....where do we start? How about this whole new technology thing? Don't get this writer wrong , what happened in Timberholde will forever scar the minds and souls of the people of Simul. Having lost so many lives and homes, the awful event will haunt us til the end of time. Yet, Simulians are resilient! Not only has our largest city been rebuilt, but the survivors are thriving among the living! We have even acquired some new faces and even more new things. As word and teachings have been spread word of mouth, Simul is now home to many new objects that are seemingly making life so much easier! Have you seen those automobiles? I, myself have attained a brand new Telegem and cannot go a day without it. Being able to communicate with friends and family so easily is just top notch! You know what else I heard? Those who aided in Timberholde were given special deeds from the King himself! I am not sure what it was, but I also heard that it was big . I wish we knew who these people were so we could give them a day or something... Needless to say, Simul seems to have recovered quite nicely. Now, for the fun stuff! Do you find yourself lonely? Looking for love, but not finding anyone of note to take home to the parents? Wishing you knew where to find Mr. Right with the deep pockets mayhaps? Look no further than our next section! Introducing: Simul's Most Eligible Bachelors!!!! Bachelor Number One: @Muse Meet Alabaster. Successful in mineral and gemology, if he is tasked with appraising such things. Able to create diamonds and various gems and other precious stones, could be rich if he found it necessary. Enjoys sunshine and likes dogs and flowers. Look at that glowing skin! Isn't he a handsome hunk of man? (After Simul Quarterly is published, Alabaster find himself having a very difficult time leaving his home without at least three different people waiting outside, oh so patiently for him to emerge, for more than three months following. With bright eyes and clasped hands, most of the requests are not for his undivided attention so much as gifts . "I'm poor!" "I broke my pendant!" "Can you really produce gems?" None of these requests are so simple, however, having the uncanny tint of lust behind every word uttered. Almost...uncomfortably. How did they even find him?) Bachelor Number Two: @Licht Introducing Regnar. Though he is a devil-possessed and widely feared for that reason, he runs a successful blacksmithing operation, though he is mostly absent if not on search for rare materials or on any other business, personal or otherwise. Something of an equivalent to a popular other-wordly game serious character type, thriving on heretical strength without concern for things like status or public opinion. If he didn't spend most of his time playing dark hero, he would most likely amass a decent fortune through his business. Tough as nails, with all the brawn to back up his sharp tongue. Hot damn, amirite? (After Simul Quarterly is published, business is booming! At first, it was slow building, but eventually, Regnar would find himself quite overun with many orders....all in person, of course. The flirty eyes and gifts of sweets are enough to make anyone sick, but, as like most things, it would be nice at first. After eight weeks of having to play coy or outright deny the advances, he starts to find... notes nailed to his door.) Bachelor Number Three: @Lord Fantasy Xavier Alabaster Alfonse, legally demonstrable good boy. Psychically capable, dabbles in alchemy, most importantly having a cute face, scritchable ears, and an impeccable fashion sense. Perhaps even more most importantly, rich by family name. He's even a mysterious detective! Do you think he is skilled enough to make it to your heart? (After Simul Quarterly is published, Xavier feels embarassed enough from the initial influx of affection and recognition that he starts to avoid new detective work for a while. Staying home and keeping himself as busy as possible, he soon finds himself bored and...well, lonely. So, after a few weeks, he is certain that things have blown over and he can go get himself some food to fill his cupboards. Unfortunately, the die-hard fans have been waiting just behind the corner this whole time. The sound a squeal of happiness damn near shreds his ears to bits.) Bachelor Number Four: @Jellopy Lord Virgiliu Munteanu. A nobleman from a mountainous land's old money, has since acquired a fertile plot of land in Simul. The finest hunter in the kingdom (don't look it up), able to wrest wild beasts bare-handed, terrify bears with a single stare, and lift two women on each hand, his ALPHA MALE PRESENCE cowers lesser men within his sight. All that Virgiliu's heart desires rightfully belongs to him, and whatever doesn't, he will force into submission. His generosity is without bounds. As the greatest hunter of the kingdom (don't look it up), he often shares the spoils of his unparalleled hunts in his great feasts in his old-fashioned stone castle, where he also allows weary travelers to rest. But if someone fails to show him the respect he is owed (which is very easy, he's entitled as a bitch), he will make a bloody example out of them. While he casually enjoys the delights of women and is always accepting more, Virgiliu is only truly interested in those high-value enough to stand side-by-side with him, to terrorize towns together and claim their rights as King and Queen. Are you simply looking for a night of the excesses only an ALPHA MALE can provide, or will you be the one to shroud the land in darkness with him? He looks like the total... package . (After Simul Quarterly is published, Virgiliu will find himself quite enjoying the added attention he is getting. All the ladies and all the men, flocking and flaunting all over him. Hell, he could have easily bitten and fed off of any of them...Weeks would go by and he would feel like a KING, but something just felt off. What was it? Wait a minute...where was his favorite toy, Max? After digging himself from the pile of harem he had created, Virgiliu would traverse the large home his followers had built him just outside of the newly finished Timberholde to find Max, the cat boy, bowing before a golden statue of the vampire that hadn't been there before and chanting. All it would take was a clearing of Virgiliu's throat to prompt Max to turn around, knife in hand and a wild grin on his face. "If I can't have you to myself ...") Bachelor Number Five: @Zero Kisaragi This is Zero. A "man of no consequence" by his own description. That humble façade hides an extremely capable researcher and fighter that tends to venture out in the world and collect his own research material, magical artifacts, often from the lairs of dangerous creatures. Outside of that, he governs a city far away from Simul, under a different name. He values knowledge and a willingness to expand ones knowledge more than anything else. Despite his looks, he is also extremely tough and knowledgeable himself. Aloof and rational, but kindhearted when given the chance. A traveler that could likely do with someone traveling at his side, or someone that guides him home. A face even your mother would love! (After Simul Quarterly is published, while out on a short artifact retrieval mission mostly for personal purposes, Zero hadn't even heard of this 'list' he had been mentioned in. This...was not to his fortune. As he often did, the shadow had come close to finding the item in question, some sort of locket that supposedly contained the soul of a future God, when he happened across the path of three women. Now, smiling, very beautiful ladies standing in the depths of a long abandoned village hidden among the Red Mountains was odd enough, but the way their crazy eyes were seemingly trying to not only penetrate his soul, but his clothes too, Zero was just about to 'NOPE' out when he found himself feeling rather...dizzy? Waking up in a dimly lit cabin to one of the women attempting to peel off his top....) Bachelor Number Six: @Martin (19) Charles Coaulsofur. This is the sort of man that exudes charm through no effort of his own, gathering attention from both women and men, which is enjoyed equally by him. Charles is a figurehead, well known through all of Simul for his skill in metalwork, not only by mundane, but by his natural talent for enchanting metals, from jewelry to sculptures, anyone with an enjoyment of the shiny things in life will have plenty to show off. Make no mistake though, ensnaring this exquisite piece of platinum (for not even gold can apply to how rare Charles is) is not for the faint-hearted. With well over a century of life, he avoids for fear of outliving and difficulty of relating to those with a similar lifespan. But for those who manage to win the heart of this dragon, they will be richly rewarded. A life of riches and luxury, mixed in with cozy warmth and a strong sense of adventure across Simul. Strong enough to carry you over that threshhold I see! (After Simul Quarterly is published, lonely souls and dragon hunters alike decided to wage war. For what, you ask? For the heart of Charles, of course! Now, it may be flattering to have people fight for your affection...but that was not the 'heart' the hunters were after. And after a few weeks of dadging bullets and... bullets , Charles would find himself in a very peculiar situation. All he wanted to do was go the the general store and get some flour for bread...why were there people confessing their love while simultaneously throwing explosives at a long line of tied up prisoners? OH GOD.) Bachelor Number Seven: @Spook This is Joseph. Joseph is a talented mage and swordsman, seeking to decipher the literal secrets of life and death. He specializes in lightning and water magic, and favors swords and spears. Right now he's technically an advanced student at Gul Academui, undertaking solo studies while occasionally giving lectures. He isn't afraid to kill for fight for protect the ones he cares about. He's also got an unhealthy sleep schedule something of a night owl, and happens to be of a foreign draconic lineage. His main interests include exploring new branches of magic to study, and even if it's not something he can learn, he still appreciates incredible innate power natural talent in others. He has a soft spot for avian creatures having raised a griffon, and enjoys long fights walks on the beach. Hauntingly handsome, if I do say so myself! (After Simul Quarterly is published, Joe had been doing what he always did. Training and reading nd attending classes like a 'good bean'. Hey, he was trying , right? For a couple months since the article, Joe had found himself in a few situations here and there. Clingy women, envious and aroused men, and even the ocassional sentient beast had come to try their hand at capturing this brooding man's heart, all for naught. Needless to say, this did not go over well with some. Unfortunately for Joe, some of the some were...very powerful. One in particular that had had her eye on the mage for quite some time. As poor Joe-bean was just walking down the hall of Gul Academui, he could feel the eyes on him. Damn, he wished Silver was there to take the heat off of him. Just as the thought passed through his mind, the sound of slamming bodies coming from behind him had Joe spinning around, just in time to witness the last victim's face hit a marble wall. Before he could help the fallen, he too was slammed against the wall, but a warm, female form pressed against his front. A finger tilted his chin to her crazy wide eyes. "What's it gonna take to make you mine?") Bachelor Number Eight: Last in our list, but certainly not least : Lord Silver Drafaylum @Silver Drafaylum Despite his high title, fairly earned in the lands of Simul, Silver is not only mysterious, but humble. How such aspects could be paired with a man this good looking? Having made a name in our kingdom by his many works in aiding, philantropy and charity, the half wolf, half elf masterpiece is almost a household name. Recently available, Silver may not be looking for anything serious, but this writer has it on good authority that he is a sucker for dark haired beauties and hopes for a family of his own. If stability is what you want, this wolf man is a fantastic choice! I mean, come one , the man lives in a castle! Known for his good looks, the company he keeps, and the viscous way he protects his own, this Lord is easily one of the best choices for a Happily Ever After. Do you think you can tame the beast within? (After Simul Quarterly is published, Silver was hit hard . Not violently, not yet. Being the owner and 'dean' of a magical academy made his already known name rather large after the Simul Quarterly came out. For weeks , the poor man had to endure love letters, unecessary gifts, and relentless pioneering by males and females alike. Luckily, with his particular set of skills, he could often teleport out for 'emergencies' and 'Guardian matters'. Still, this did not stop the onslaught of 'fans'. In the background, unbeknownst to anyone , a small cult within the school walls had started. Senka happened upon the secret room, but before she could warm the walven man, the group of a dozen women cast a sealing circle around her artificial body, trapping her behind walls. Though the effort was temporary, it was just enough time to find the headmaster and explain their...'emergency'. Silver, being the protective man he is, followed the group of women down a hallways he knew they shouldn't have been. That's when he found himself lost in his own cas-Wait. This wasn't his castle. Where the hell was he? And why was his head so fuzzy....wow...they were really pretty.) Thank you for reading Simul Quarterly! This is Flynn, signing off! Simul Quarterly Issue 2 Hello again my fellow Simulians! Tis your one and only, yet somehow, favorite Simul Social Personality! I’m back with another issue of Simul Quarterly for your eyes to feast upon. Since our last newsworthy update, our fair kingdom has been relatively quiet and peaceful. Well…as peaceful as it can be with the fear of looming doom. I am sure there is nothing to panic about! I did hear through the grapevine that something had happened recently. Soooooo, our favorite tavern, Mary’s, was attacked a few weeks back. Apparently, the assailant had blown off the whole front of her beautiful establishment! I did hear someone even DIED. Who in the hell does that? At least there were some nice folks that helped her rebuild fairly quickly. But you know what’s strange? Though there were witnesses….no one spoke a name. Perhaps I will do some digging. On a lighter note! Two of Simul’s favorite holidays are coming up fast! First, Canto Mortuus. Every year, the battle for the most treats takes place. Alongside the opening of Soulstagne’s magical barrier, this holiday brings together families and friends in ways that can only happen on this special day.

This is Flynn, signing off! BREAKING NEWS It has come to our attention that there was a recent attack on Dry Gulch! Witnesses say that a group of less than a dozen, but more than eight people descended upon the northern ship port of Dry Gulch and attacked a seaman. Not only was the ship burned to ashes, but the dock in which it was parked. Unfortunately, the owner, Warren Thule, was killed in the incident, alongside his wife and four children. It has also been clarified that this group of murderers did so with the use of fire magic. One witness overheard the spells being spoken by one perpetrator, while the rest were, allegedly, standing around and helping fuel the aforementioned attack. It is not clear if local authorities have caught any of the suspects, but the good people of Dry Gulch have been preparing for a witch hunt....This does not sound good, people of Simul. This does not sound good at all. This is your local News Officiant, Flynn, signing off... BREAKING NEWS Yet another massive upset of the people has come in the form of something...unseen. With the disappearance of local wildlife on the Northern Coast, citizens of Simul have taken notice. Whispers of a mad man "melting flesh" from "carcasses and live animals" have been spreading like wildfire across the northern parts of our great kingdom. Some have made it their duty to find whoever this person/s are/is, but the only facts we have learned is that the person keeps to an area not easily reached on the cliffside near the ocean. Witnesses state that there was more than one person during the time of the incident. It appeared that only one was the aggressor. Flames have eaten away the cliff face and the landscape has slid into the ocean. There is no news on survivors or who the people were in the area. Will update when more is known. Please be safe, folks. This is Flynn, signing off. Simul Quarterly Issue 3 Did ya miss me? I bet you did. But have no fear, as it is I, Flynn, back at it again with some Simul News! I just wish it was all good news. It seems there have been some havoc among our citizens. I have done my best to keep you all updated as news reaches my desk here at Coexisting Connections, but I am only one 'person'. I can only do so much. I do appreciate your trust in me, however, and I will continue to do my best! With the unfortunate breaking news stories, it seems that a lot of Simul citizens have been looking down upon those of us who are magic users. Can we really blame them? As 'magical' as this land is, we have always had that tiny line of...suspicion when it comes to the supernatural. I had done my own digging, attempting to find who or what is causing such chaos. I just can't. This will not stop me from trying! We all deserve answers! As much as I could ramble all day about the awful happenings in the dark, I think it's time for a lighter subject. It's finally a new year! You know what that means? Yet another time for us to unite and become one. Simul;s foundation has always been unification against all odds. The whisperings on the winds tell me that is exactly what you good people plan on doing. So, hug your loved ones, share your wealth, and send positive energy out into the world. This year will be Simul's best yet! Oh! Speaking of! One last note before I leave you. A local nobel has decided to be a sort of 'Secret Saint'. Unfortunately, to keep their identity hidden, they haven't had a moment to try and recruit for this special gift. So, I, Flynn, promised to get the word out! Take a gander at the letter below. So, if it is not clear enough here, if you know someone deserving of an all expenses paid home, please write us a letter on Simul Social, or through our mail system, and tag Coestisting Connections, telling us who and why! The Secret Saint will announce the lucky person/family in three days from today! As always, with love, Flynn. BREAKING NEWS As someone who is magical, I find myself very concerned with the recent breaking stories we have had to covere here at Coexisiting Connections. But it is my duty to keep the people of Simul informed, and I will always keep that promise. Less than 24 hours ago, it was brought to our attention that there was a murder in Gao Shan. 32 year old Yang Da of Gao Shan was murdered in his back garden. According to GSP, Yang was shoveling a path to his back shed when he was attacked. Witnesses stated they they had heard the screams of the young man. One neighbor said they had rushed outside and saw Yang being attacked by an unnamed assailant dressed in dark robes that masked their face. However, it was also reported that the attacker had used a fire magic. "All I saw was fire coming from their hands while they punched and kicked Mr. Da. I tried to climb the gate, but I was too late. The murderer sprouted wings and disappeared into the sky!" GSP ask for the people to keep a vigilant stance and report anything suspect. Our condolences go out to Yang's family. This is Flynn, signing off. BREAKING NEWS Yet another sad story. This one out of Korrig Harbor City. It was reported two hours ago that a group of four people (Three men and one woman) were witnessed setting a blaze to three docks on the ocean. Not only were the docks destroyed, but various ships, costing the victims hundreds of thousands of coin. Authorities have no announced how many casualties, if any, but there have been reports of upwards of fifteen people missing or not accounted for. After putting together all witness statements, our crew has drawn, to the best of their abilities, what the perpatrators may have looked like. It is asked, if anyone has any other information, to contact your local authorities. All donations or any able bodied individuals who would like to help, please visit Korrig and head on over to Dock's Harbor. The owner has been organizing relief efforts and can instruct you on how to best aide. This is Flynn, signing off... BREAKING NEWS Sad news out of Tranquillum today. Every year, tens of thousands of Similuams look forward to one of our most coveted holidays: Lux Amare. This year, something awful has happened. Various witnesses have come forth to describe a horrid scene of assailants murdering the Cor. Not just killing them, but petrifying them, only halfway. Many of the statements we cannot repeat here at Coexisting Connections. We do have a photo submitted by a long time listener and an unfortunate witness to the events. Please, look on only if you must. According to stories, a darkly shrouded individual ran through the forest that is Tranquillum, stopping at every Cor they saw, and used some sort of magical fog emit from their fingers. Once this 'fog' reached the innocent animals, they were...'frozen'. This can only be described as a 'half attempt at turning them into stone'. Now, we have no proof that all of these instances are connected in any way, but by the sounds of some of the statements, it may just be possible. Please folks, stay safe out there. If you see something, say something. This is Flynn, signing off. Send Send Send Send No Updates Yet Most Recent Update None yet Views Back to Top
