• Inventory Split Incoming

    MassiveCraft will be implementing an inventory split across game modes to improve fairness, balance, and player experience. Each game mode (Roleplay and Survival) will have its own dedicated inventory going forward. To help players prepare, we’ve opened a special storage system to safeguard important items during the transition. For full details, read the announcement here: Game Mode Inventory Split blog post.

    Your current inventories, backpacks, and ender chest are in the shared Medieval inventory. When the new Roleplay inventory is created and assigned to the roleplay world(s) you will lose access to your currently stored items.

    Important Dates

    • April 1: Trunk storage opens.
    • May 25: Final day to submit items for storage.
    • June 1: Inventories are officially split.

    Please make sure to submit any items you wish to preserve in the trunk storage or one of the roleplay worlds before the deadline. After the split, inventories will no longer carry over between game modes.

The Black Armada​

The Black Armada is a Regalian battleship fleet, privately owned by the House Black. It is primarily an offensive fleet, supporting a doctrine of wiping out or subduing enemy fleets, and using superior firepower and/or innovative tactics to establish control over coastlines. The fleet is generally able to deploy in any part of the world.

When required, the fleet also engages in reconnaissance activities, as well as the day-to-day protection of Regalian trade routes and the provision of support to Regalia's landing armies. During times of peace, the Black Armada may be observed pursuing exploratory missions of unchartered waters and coastlines as well.

Members of the Black Armada personnel are privy to confidential tactical meetings and have access to occupational equipment and materials, such as heavy artillery and gunpowder, when "on-duty". Confidential tactical meetings are held every one or two weeks. To join the Armada, write a letter to the Admiral Christopher Black detailing your qualifications and experience; or approach him in person.

OOC Notes:
  • "On-duty" typically means actively working on the ships in progression posts only. Access to occupational equipment and materials is strictly forbidden in-game, in the city, where Armada characters are normally considered to be "off-duty".
  • An approved character sheet is compulsory.
  • Application letters can be posted in this thread, below. Alternatively, seek Christopher Black out in-game.

Dear Lord Black,
Your kind niece, Lady Black, has mentioned you before; I've been eager to meet you ever since. To the point, I'd be honored to join The Black Armada. I studied with my uncle on his ship and gained experience with navigating the great sea, which involves a bit of sailing. While I certainly don't level with your experience, I believe I could make a fine navigator; I promise to hold my weight. I hope my letter persuades you in accepting me.

To the Miss Piaget,

No doubt you are aware that a woman on board a naval ship will require an element of thick skin. Nonetheless, a friend of my niece is a friend of mine, and the Empire requires good navigators. Consider yourself hired. We shall talk soon.​

All the best,
Christopher Black.​

Admiral Black,

I find nostalgia in writing such a thing again. But I am hoping you take my presence back upon your boats to serve. I had been a Captain before within the Armada and I hope to reclaim such title once more, if not anything will do. I do hope you consider hiring me once more, I believe it will be a good decision.

Spirit Blessings,

"The only acceptable place for a bone fleet is to be sunk at the bottom of the ocean."​

Christopher Black, Admiral of the Black Armada, and Wing Admiral of the Imperial Marshal Cabinet, seeks to employ brave Regalian men and women who wish to join the coming naval campaigns against the Dread Empire. Prospective vice and rear admirals, captains, navigators, sailors, gunners or anyone experienced with some form of artillery, carpenters, surgeons and cooks are all invited to apply. Do so by sending a letter to the Admiral Black, or seek him out in person. The first ships set sail within the week.

Mr. D'Amboise,

We are in need of a good surgeon to administer to the ships' crews, given the encounters with the Dread that are soon to come. Consider yourself hired. We'll have a meeting of the Armada personnel some time early this coming week. Hope to see you there.​

Highest regards,
Christopher Black.​

To Lord Admiral Black,

I have spent much time along your side, fighting against the Mist. I wish to do my part with helping you fight against the Dread Empire, for they have the power to turn Avanthar into Kathar. I wish for no one else to have to suffer from such things. My time as a Witchblood has taught me much of my own strengths and weaknesses. The Kathar will hold magic on their side, which will become their greatest weakness. Their terror will end soon, and I wish to be there to watch them fall when it happens.

Lord Admiral Black,

Thank you for your graciousness. I'm humbled to serve under you and look forward to providing the care that the crew needs as they face the daunting task before them. May I be of service to Regalia, to the House Black and to my compatriots in arms. Your Lordship may count on me to be ever ready to administer to the sick, afflicted and wounded. You may also count on me to take up a sword when needed to defend myself and those I watch over. I await more on the meeting of the Armada.


Your loyal servant,

I understand this letter may be coming late, but I figured it still would not hurt to apply. My name is Quinn Shu'elsi, Sihndar of the Taint Archon of the Cursing Eye, and I would like to offer my services as a healer to your fleet. I have many years experience practicing healing, and hope to use my skills to assist the Regalian Empire in what way I can against the Kathar. I promise to do my best in the service of your fleet, and hope to hear from you soon.

I am aware that this is rather late, however I still wish to apply. My name is Jacques Martyn. I am the Captain of the House de Letoirneau guard. You were reccomended to me the Ser Cypri de Letoirneau in order to deal with the Kathar assault. I have many years worth of sailing experience and wish to help in this predicament.

To Mr. Bethell,

Your contributions towards aiding the Empire during recent catastrophes, such as against the Anglian Mist, have certainly not gone unnoticed. I consider you a real asset to the Empire and a friend. Having said that, I am currently particularly looking for those with very specialised naval skills to fill the fleets; i.e., sailors, navigators and the like. We may be in need of your arcane knowledge along the road, if we encounter things that are not natural, however. Similarly, in the future, we may also be in need of ship "foot soldiers" or marines. I will keep you posted. (Postponed!)​

Highest regards,
Christopher Black.​

Yours is an interesting application: a Sihndar medic wanting to join the war against the Dread. I can picture that ... consider yourself accepted. We'll see how you get along with the predominantly Ailor crew. (Accepted!)​

To the Reverend von Brühl,

I am sorry, I truly am, but I cannot envision placing a man, who is intended to be providing spiritual guidance and leadership to a crew on the naval frontlines, in such a role, when he has so recently abandoned his own men on the battlefield in their time of need. In a naval line of battle, sailors and gunners are taught to hold their ground and continue doing their job, no matter how vicious the sounds of cannon fire and the screams of their wounded friends become around them. You see, the moment the line of battle is broken, the enemy can divide and conquer one's fleet, and so one must have nerves of steel during a naval encounter to prevent such a fracture from occurring. I suggest proving yourself once more, to those who depend on you in their times of need, first; and then consider reapplying for a position with the Armada. (Rejected!)​

With respect,
Christopher Black.​
