The year is coming to and end, once again separating the past and the future, the history and the dreams… so get ready - the Blue Monkey is coming! So, coming back to the recent events… Lady Tonika, having made her proposal to the boldest knights of the Lands, didn’t happen to be seen anywhere around here for quite some time. But it was not the end of all that cursing-stories…This time, the famous crusader, Magister Sargon, got himself into trouble. After drinking some good elven wine in a nice and friendly company in the Tavern, he decided to get into an adventure… well, he succeded – his encounter with a mage (whose name and person is absolutely unknown) resulted in a dreadful curse...
The second CH tournament is over. It looks like we have a new tradition here – holding special tournaments for inhabitants of the English-speaking part of the Lands. A very promising tradition, I might say… If all goes on as it is, the ranks of chivalry in these parts would quickly become vast and prosperous, and we won’t have to wait for too long for our first Baron! Glory to our valiant warriors! A few days ago, lady-Naga, Tarna Saldeiska, made a proposal to hold a party in the Tavern to celebrate the finishing of the CH Tournament. There wasn’t much comments yet, but it sure would be an excellent idea to organize a big holiday for all our inhabitants. Aside from just having...
Flying over misty moors, Golden Dragon deeply sighed. What a thunderstorm occurred, Not at all a pretty sight! Tiger growling, showing paws, Orc with mace in mighty hand... “Everybody! Cease it! YAWP!” Damn... Who wants to kill the Lands?.. Shaking oaks at Chaosville Whisper to the strangers: “Why? What for? If you don’t feel Like living here – who will care?” A bony lich rushes up and screams: “No! Listen, you! Don’t scowl! We’re dying, dont’cha see?” But no response, and only owls Are hooting in the dark... This argument must cease! Or else we’ll need a Noah’s Ark... Calm down, people! Please! The dragon rose then to the black, And...
The hot summer is long over. But life in the Heroes Lands continues on it’s own, despite all odds. And the English-speaking part is finally beginning to gain it’s strength – we’re glad to announce that a first knight has emerged there at last! Sir Faenad, having taken the third place in the last Landless Tourney at Heroes Lands IV, have received himself a well-earned feud. So, let’s hope he will keep it up! Also, the second CH tourney is open. For those who doesn’t know yet, I shall remind that it’s a special tourney for non-russian-speakers only. So, it’s a very good opportunity for our landless inhabitants to join the ranks of our Knighthood along with sir Faenad. Good luck, sirs and...
The summer comes to an end and many Knights come back from their crusades… But not all of them do! Well…I declare the season of duels opened! All started from the fast-spreading news about the possibility of a duel between the Lords Rafael and Lazar. It might have been a great event unless something had stopped the duelists (probably the Lords are too busy with ruling and restoring their multiple castles), so the Armageddon-scale duel is probably postponed to indeterminate date. However, another duels have quickly been arranged instead of that one. Ex-Baron Lelik and ex-Knight Deep (nowadays Knight Lelik and Baron Deep) simply decided … to bite one another, but it still wasn’t the...
The sun haven’t arose yet above the horizon when a new – oh no! – Landless knight burst into the Tavern… Why?? Of course – in order to ask ridiculous or inappropriate question, opening a new theme especially for that. Most of newcomers commit this mistake (I’ve experienced it myself). The problem is that the main page doesn’t bear the link to Rules section, however the link that attracts the newcomers so much – to Tavern - is present. And what are the rules? Who needs them? Come to Tavern and ask something (and rid of the annoying zero in Messages field) – other visitors will reply to you…or they won’t?? Here…the newcomer has just appeared in the Tavern, but ????????? and...
History knows cases when a tsar or a king was nicknamed for his actions as, for example, Iziaslav Charadzei (Polotsk principality), Ivan the Terrible (Moscow principality), Richard Lion's heart (English kingdom). No wizard could foresee rainy summer for some inhabitants. At first clouds thickened above a pirate who had doubted skill of the merchant guild, but what is a small storm for an old sea-dog. Baron Sinoptik barely went through the thunder-storm as after a rough night the sky became darker for a landless elf. Then the same lot overtook Sir LESSONS OF EVIL who had taken a vow of silence which was broken in the following morning, and, at last, Sir Wizd with Dart Vader (who...

The fresh wind that has recently started to blow in the Lands appeared to be the wind of changes that the local inhabitants have just begun to feel. The knights started to use their swords more frequently, and as a result the two very interesting duels are about to take place. The long queue to the hayloft of Lich has finally started to move from the death point and the Pirate has managed to offend Minotaur. The rivals probably decided to find out which one of them actually won the second place in the major league competition of the last Tourney. At the same time the authorities began to take decisive measures against some dishonest dwellers – especially against those whose appearance...
After exhausting campaigns for the glory of the Magistrate the knighthood planned to amuse itself, but it was not to happen. All the plans of the Knights were spoiled by the insidious Genie who suddenly decided to drown herself. And everything would successfully end if the distance between the Vampire and the place where the Genie attempted the suicide were larger. But the salvation has occurred and as a reward the Vampire received the three wishes which he only wants to keep for himself. Now the poor Genie is being locked in the castle of the Vampire who has already announced his first wish. Others desperately try to get one of the remaining wishes by using such methods as presenting cakes...
Once upon a time a brave knight named Sigizmund decided to seek in marriage with the most handsome girl in Universe - the English beauty Elline whom he saw during a festive occasion. But Sigizmund didn't know where the castle of the beautiful girl is located, having seen it only on the map created by a visiting saracene. And there was nobody to translate the names of regions and the pointers on the map from the overseas language. Sigizmund looked on the map again and again, but all he saw were letters absolutely unknown to him. Then he burst with refined oaths and began to curse his tutors because they haven't taught him any foreign languages! This valiant warrior in distress was going to...
April 2003. The structure of the state order of the Lands is being improved. The expansion to the new territories led to the quick rise of wealthy landlords. Recently the law in draft about the new status – the King – has been worked out and the community discussions about this subject have practically ended – everyone who had to say something important or simply express an opinion successfully did it. The inhabitants sincerely hope that the Magistrate won’t delay the introduction of the new status, especially because the first bearer of the King title is known. Lord Champion – the only possessor of 10 feuds – has recently been summoned from non-existence by some kind of magical...
At last snow left from the Heroeslands, here and there the young green growth began to make the way. Spring goes, spring road. The first thunder-storm not waited for May and began several days before. Terrible downpour, strong wind, terrifying peals of a thunder. All that happened when some dragon was leaving the lands, which was a legend by his certain acts that our correspondents couldn't remember the truth, as one wise man said; Legends born, legends live, and legends forgotten, good luck to all that leaves us forever. The searches of grail which were undertaken by small group of adventurers still proceed. Most significant event of this campaign was the pogrom of the tavern which was...
Many days have passed since Orc and his followers settled down in new lands. Together, hand by hand paw by paw they were building new settlement, even more grater capitol than it was before. Many scouts and colonizers were sent to explore new lands and to build settlements on the lands. Day by day the capitol was rising, its magnificent buildings, towers and the most popular-tavern was protruding through mighty walls that will stand even thousands of raiders. Finally the work was done. Everyone was happy. Orc was dancing wildly in his new balcony of his new palace. But it was time for a speech. Orc tried to make serious look on his face, but he saw how everybody was happy. He smiled and...
The sky of Old Lands began to be clouding over, the sun rose rarely and trees withered. An orc stood on the balcony of his palace and looked at his domains. He was sick of unhappy thoughts. The last onset of barbarians was repulsed by the army of Lands but the barbarians brought an unknown disease which was affecting Old Lands rapidly. Nobody was killed by the disease but it poisoned consciousness, brought indifference in life. Everything destroyed by the barbarians was restored but will he manage to cure souls? He had many assistants who had helped him to create that world, they changed but the Orc remained. He bore even the armageddon more quietly. And now? He felt strange, he felt...
