The seafaring pack is getting some momentum, and some new "sea" forums have been added for all of you wolves that might want to go swimming or sailing in the wide open spaces! Not much other news this month, and your admin just got the enhanced version of Baldur's Gate on PC so that's why the Blade is late this month! xD<br />

ARCHAICA<br />
</div>
Archaica still waits for the right opportunity to strike Zanali from the inside. . . <br />
<br />

ZANALI<br />

THE AEGIS<br />
</div>
The Aegis is stable, and accepting members.<br />

Donations Needed!<br />
</div>
If you go to the <a href="http://sverige.wikia.com/wiki/Buy_Crowns">buy crowns link</a>, you can support the site and give us necessary funds to keep it ad-free for longer periods of time. Unfortunately, I do not always have the cash every month to continue the subscription, so you may see time periods where there are ad bars at the tops of the forum. You can use an ad-blocker extension on a browser to not see them, of course, but they will still show up as a naked 'box'. 
<br />
<div style="background:#989eab;padding-left:70px;color: #d7d5d5;font-family: verdana;font-size: 10px;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:-10px;margin-right:-10px;">
Posting Aways <br />
</div>
When you post an away it is always a good idea to give a time that you anticipate being back. This is to allow us to plan for plots and other things that might still be going on that involve your character. Keep in mind, however, that if it's been a month since your away's "time" has expired, your character may have been removed from packs and counted as removed from Sverige. However, this is not a "death" sentence! You can always return by PMing the Calico account and letting me know you need your character active again. As far as rejoining packs that is always up to the Alpha, however. Make your story good! xD

Revulsion- http://sverige.icyboards.net/showthread....0#pid48730 (post #3)

Other two- http://sverige.icyboards.net/showthread....1#pid48751 (post #13)

used all three in post #12   http://sverige.icyboards.net/showthread....4#pid48754

Gabriel - as roseate is an adjective, it must describe something. The manner in which it is used in that post does not do that. Try again?

All else done ^^
