      Entry One The beginning (image high pitch voices because am a starfish race! :D) 

       

      Year 1

      From the Spiritual Palace, the High Priest took his position in front of the caption of the holoprojector that every Fellknoll is currently watching in as news from the Oceans Tide that had only re-enter the system  moments before from it scouting mission to the distant systems clearing his throat he said in a surprisingly deep voice a reflection of how old he truly is with a slight measure of calmness. 'My fellow Fellknoll's after their first jump using their long-range scanners we have confirmed an ocean planet upon learning this we sent The Flow of Current's  to investigate but we are not just going to wait I am putting a call for all Fellknoll's from the cleric's caste to the lowest of growers to join in the first colony ship that we are building at this moment to settle this planet. For this is just our first step as our scout ships continue to reach the furthest of systems using our new wormhole drive we shall spread across the stars through everyone actions not just our own will we achieve something truly great may our ancestors guide and protect our actions.'

      Year 5 

      The High Priest went over the latest dispatches with two fully crew survey ships they kept on stumbling on relics of old bringing much scientific knowledge that we are developing new concepts and making a prototype within a year or two the Fellknoll people have never advanced so fast in our history it took us nearly fifty years to develop the wormhole drive after three thousand years of stagnation. Ancestors be praised also as we discover a second however smaller in size ocean planet  following years since our first discovery have been without note until we spotted a second ocean planet smaller in size  it will relieve the strain on the homeworld that makes it worth the price of another colony ship, however, we have detected unidentified ships of an unknown origin this is grim news signs of a neighbour will put a hamper on our expansion plans. we can only hope the ancestors will protect our actions

      Year 8

      Contact we knew that we weren't alone reports have been streaming in about what we believe survey ships have been intruding on our borders I as High Priest have devoted funds into a whole new military budget for a quick invasion to overwhelm them and claim their planets for ourselves we can only pray that our actions will bear fruit...i almost pity those who we are about to destroy.

      Year 11 first half

      The UNSC pink fleshy primates that do not pray or even have a caste preferring to be equal it is an almost...alien idea...already the clerics call not just for conquest but to wipe them out lest they spread their ideas and give the lower forms of caste hopes of throwing off their shackles the war would be swift relying on warp it would be easy for our ships to run rings around them. strike their resources so they are unable to replace their loses...but a whisper compels me to stay my hand.

      Year 11 second half

      Relations with the so call UNSC grow hostile as they press against our bodies would our ancestor be proud if we wipe out a race that is weaker then us...no in Unity there is strength in Unity there is peace for they hold no threat preferring to be scientists and bogged down in their...egalitarian society how horrifying. It takes everything I have to hold my people back for they hold vital planets even if they have more land then oceans.

      Year 14

      I have made a decision while I guarantee their independence on the requirement that they contribute minerals when I ask for they will be lured into a sense of security only when the trust is complete is when I will turn on them turning them into the first of my loyal vassals it has pacified the clerics I can only hope that the UNSC doesn't find out till it too late to do anything.

      Year 15

      An entire year we have spent building up our forces and just as we were about to strike more Empires are popping out of the coral's we can no longer win a war against them only to have the other two pounce...no a new course must be made.

      Year 16

      The High Kingdom has stolen rightful territory of the Fellknoll people as High Priest of the Foundation I have called for a population boom of the military caste with our "friends" within the UNSC supplying us with raw resources as well as ground soldiers to storm the enemy planet...even the clerics admit they have their uses.

      Year 20

      it has taken four years but our people are ready with advanced shields and destroyers now is the chance to bring them down may the ancestors preserve our people and bring glory to living.

      Year 21

      With battle plans in place, the combined might of the Foundation of Tebbor launched an invasion assault over Fulza we had just managed to secure a position over it when the enemy with an almost equal force except they have a handful of cruiser we only had destroyers to think that this High Kingdom could manage to build such monsters of ships is daunting.

      Year 21 after the battle

      We suffered heavy losses but we managed to hold high orbital over the planet but the time it took to drive the enemy fleet enough gave the defenders time to dig in despite our pleadings for them to land they refused to drop in the jaws of the Deep Dwellers so we resumed our bombardment of the enemy fortifications they will bend the knee and join our castes or the streets of their planet run with their blood.

      Year 21 a month later

      The enemy has returned with greater power and in repair, the Admiral almost considered a withdrawal I know our ships would have escaped but would the UNSC with their slow troop carriers...no I sent a direct order not one step back the result was a pyrrhic victory. it, however, gave us time to conquer the planet faced with a choice the High Kingdom sent a peace deal. Out of fear of my battered ships I accepted the deal now they are weakened but so are we but we were right to do so...from this our future is secure.

      Year 23

      Our once tenuous neighbour to the east seeing the conflict resolved has taken steps to ally the weaken High Kingdom no matter we have found our friends in this galaxy and have formed a mutual benefit alliance no longer do we consider them targets but allies in the wars to come and they shall indeed come for we have found Fanatical Purifiers that are slowly wiping out all life.

      End of first entry may the ancestors protect us in this trying time.

      Second entry

       

      Year 24 

      The Fanatical Purifiers have declared war on a trading partner of sorts as we watch from afar we have seen many disturbing things I almost approach our fellow Federation member to declare war on the Fanatical Purifiers while their attention is in a distant arm, however, their strong-arming us in past deals stopped me from bringing up the proposal instead let us watch what they are doing

      Year 25

      I regret my actions I believe the two powers would clash against one another weakening them to a point we can simply wash away the Purifiers with a handful of ships instead they won their war with little opposition and claim five planets for themselves even now I watch helplessly as the brutal felines purge the hive minds numbers to claim even their homeworld...I only hope the Great Mind managed to get away this has led me to take a defensive posture these Fanatical Purifiers are out to devour the whole galaxy while others break against the mountainside that is these felines the Fellknolls and our allies the UNSC shall stand tall and when we are ready to drown these Purifiers in their own blood for a change

      End of second entry may the ancestors watch over our people and preserve the soul that is the hive mind and hope these cullings have not driven it made from having it extensions purged.

    2 years ago I made a leap put myself out there and join RoH through the swtor division from watching videos such as Swtorista it wasn't until later that Aravail who I had been watching for the 3 months before was part of the same community youtube such a small world 😛. At this time I began to become independent diagnosed with Aspergers my family overcompensated for me in terms of control and shelter the home I am in was bought with money my grandfather left me when he died because he knew better than most how hard it was for me to interact with the world. My income is through rent money of the master bedroom and my own small self created job as a proof reader for future self-publish authors I tried working for a publishing house but my disability allowed others to take advantage of me under the guise of friendship I would help with their work on top of my own anyway anyway its in the past am happier working for myself.

     

    Before going on a little background is required I had only played WoW with my father who always insisted that no one on the internet is my friend and to never tell them where I am I thought everyone had been told this but in my rebellious youth 18 (late bloomer 😛 ) I secretly used the account he set up for me to play on other realms join other guilds because all i ever wanted while growing up is people to game with. My father  grew furious with me I couldn't understand why in his own misguided way he thought he was keeping me safe...too bad it was scarring and during 2016 we had a fight and our relationship has never been the same sadly I stopped playing any MMO's after that fight something that brought me so much pain I didn't want it in my life. I put my head down and I worked from 8am to 6pm getting crappy jobs and pay but it gave me enough independence to want more from my life little did I know it would cost me another family member after my grandfather passed away my uncle and I grew close but as he hit his late 70's he had to give up living in his family home to live in a nursing home I took over the place looking after it instead of rent....couldn't afford the place otherwise. Taking him away from his home ultimately killed him three weeks later he passed in his sleep he must have known because in his will he left the property to me he had no children of his own and believed while I don't have the last name after the fight with my father I have all but taken my mother last name that it should stay with a Griffin. Depression came around how can it not the number of people I interacted with was slowly fading playing games by myself no longer stave the pangs of loneliness then came RoH.

     

    With a small income I decided to take a leap after binge-watching youtube videos about swtor I enjoyed the storyline videos that Aravail did then came a recommendation video made by Swtorista after watching it took a lot for me to write out the application I was so self-conscious about my answers I messaged the swtor RO at the time in a panic that I forgot to even post it! looking back I can laugh about it now because I was so focused on leveling my first toon Vannatos the last half of my name shorten is from thankfully :D I was able to be a bit more conservative about my answers this time. 😛 When I saw that RoH had a WoW division I felt something for the first time concerning WoW a sense of longing with a steady income I could afford it and after a month of being with the swtor division I switch from that one to WoW creating a whole new account away from my father away from his achievements because he had got them all nothing I had was earned by myself so it felt liberating to play WoW from scratch. I had always been interested in pvp during my rebellious youth I became second in command of a horde pvp guild before being found out by my father and forced to leave it and there was an opening to take the pvp position I came in with such grand promises that only a few months of achieving nothing I felt embarrassed by my failure and retire quickly. From then on I lost interest in wow but not the community I hang around watching from afar doing Random BG's to pass the time an occasional raid but PvE is not really my thing. Fast forward to the last part of the previous year after bouncing through ESO that flame out quickly I return to wow around  April I think I created Jinghoo best damn monk panda on the alliance side of Azeroth :DI learned how to tank and did so quite well at the end of Legion and into the start of Battle for Azeroth and once again the officer position for PvP came around I had mixed thoughts about this but it was the members of the WoW division that convince me to take on the role once again and I would like to think it has been far more successful. After this week it has been....a trial drama both in RL and community am not ashame to admit almost broke me but the support from everyone from members to my assistant and my DC gave me the fortitude to halt my retreat into the protective shell I created to survive high school and the interactions in RL and come out...not stronger but not as battered...baby steps.

     

    I write this to not only celebrate my third year in this community but to the friendships, I have forged I did not write this to garner sympathy or to make anyone feel sorry for me nor do I want anyone to treat me differently after reading this but to express how important this community has become to me. Not only for my physical health but mentally as well two years ago I would never be able to do this. To put so much of myself out here for some 550 members last time I check how many people call this place home I hope everyone continues in whatever work they do to grow this community whether it be showing kindness to putting content on platforms such as youtube and Twitch... Now! "rubs hands together" lets see how many people i can get to wish me happy birthday because in 5minutes it will be! :D

I have missed my panda monk slaughtering horde in pvp just did 12 weeks of a writing course which was awesome getting together with a bunch of others who share my love of writing classes are now not every day but every fourth day as we are beginning our major work "shudder" oh am excited after handing in two stories and getting marked on them (we had to do one assignment in a genre we love then the next one was the complete opposite so, for instance, I did a Sc-fi with...a morally grey protaganist then a Fantasy one with a female character) anyway i am looking forward to reconnecting with the WoW part of RoH :D

  22. have to share this now everyone in EU4 know what the Ottomans are like now am playing as Poland I had 2 20k stacks place on the straits so they couldn't go from Turkey to Greece so they did something utterly shocking they did an assault from the Black Sea on the Moldova coast. I had 30k men ready to rush down when they tried to attack through the straits I didn't even see the attack until I saw a little 90k in the corner of my eye I look I scream outnumbered 3-1 the brave Polish men stood their ground Estoniaian Moldovians even Bohemians stacked on my army under the command of a 3-2-5 KING! Their King the RNG was with me thrice they roll 0 thrice they lost 10k in those rolls it was something I will never forget and wish I recorded it in a hail of cannons I lost a total of 30k from my men and allies and I bag the Ottoman army and I started to laugh hysterical as rebellions sprang up and the Ottoman Empire broke apart in 5 years this is a day I will never forget! I even feel like writing a short story about it! :D

      I was just talking to Soasa about the headset I use (Razer Megalodon) and have for years. It has its issues, but it is hands down the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. Unfortunately, it isn't easy to get your hands on one anymore since they stopped making them.

      This similar headset, however:

      https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Carcharias-Gaming-Headset-Xbox/dp/B00B1MXGFW

       

      Looks almost identical, but it's about 1/3 the price at 70-ish$. From what I read in the comments, it requires a triple input as opposed to the Megalodon's single USB (which is odd, but workable) and the cord is not the same, rubber instead of the woven material covering, but the headset itself looks almost identical, and has the same comfortable harness and earcups. If your priority is comfort and excellent sound, I would suggest either of those. Good luck hunting! :D
