Rules are fairly simple and everyone must follow these rules. ESPECIALLY STAFF. We have our Basic Server Rules which is pretty much the normal no no list.
The NO NO LIST No Spamming, No Advertising, No Cursing/No Constant Cursing, No Trolling, No Flaming, No Banned Items or Glitching of any items, No camping a players spawn (Spawn Camping), No Asking for OP, Ranks, or Items, No Racist or Sexist Remarks, No CAPS, No 1x1 Towers, No tnt, No Hack/ed Clients and finally No Mods are allowed to be used on the server which were not included in our pack / used on our servers. No Problem right?
General Player Rules. You are not allowed to enter another factions territory without the Faction leader's permission. All chests must be accessible to thieves and can not be buried or covered. Any LOCKED Chest found in the wild can be popped if found by another player. All Illegal chests will be popped and those who find them will receive the contents. No unnecessary griefing to the landscape, roads, bridges or buildings in the world. This includes when raiding another factions.
Server Building rules: Must build Realistic Medieval style townships/keeps and or devices. This means no water elevators , No Dwarf Fortresses (mountain bases), no under the sea kingdoms, or Sky islands/Bases. Pretty simple to follow. Illegally themed buildings will receive a warning then will be removed along with anything inside. Illegal Bases will have the land regenerated and would be forced to start over. Illegal devices will be broke without warning.
Faction Rules: All Factions must be enclosed with walls and display a 5x7 size flag that is accessible to all players. Factions are allowed to have no more than TWO separately claimed areas. Their City, and an Outpost. Outposts are limited to 25x25 block area and can not be within 100 blocks from another faction. A Factions Territory is defined by it's walls. Walls must be at least 8 blocks or higher. Walls must be Solid and can not contain any type of organic block or liquid. Due to players being allowed to break most blocks, you are allowed to use obsidian in your walls but are limited to only 1 block wide. No Automated Farms or massive Animal Farms. (You don't need thousands of eggs, beef, leather) No Boostings of MCMMO Skills or using Mob spawners to boost MCstats
Raid Rules. You need at least 3 members and at least 1 leader of each faction to be online prior to calling a raid. Once you have an Admin's approval, take a screenshot and create a new post to declare your raid and insert the screenshot to show which members are online. The number of Attackers can not be greater than defenders unless due to defenders logging off. Factions may hire Rangers only if they have fewer numbers than the other side. There must be a ten minute server warning prior to the Raid beginning, and raid will run for a maximum of 30 minutes.
When Entering a Faction: You are allowed to mine through, dig under, or climb over (ladders only) another factions wall to enter their territory. You can "Sack" another factions base by replacing their flag with your own. If you successfully sack another faction the Raid will be called and you will be given 5 minutes to freely ransack their base.
Thieves:
Loopholes: These are fairly simple rules. I'm sure something was missed or forgotten. As such we fall back to the loophole rule. If it seems like it's illegal (like farming mob spawners) most likely it is. Use some common sense and if all else ask Eries himself.
Joining: To join simply enter the ip and log in. You will start off as a Greylist member and be allowed to chat and walk around the server. You can not interact with the world other than that.
To become an actual member we ask that you take the time and fill out a short application. This helps us learn more about you, and honestly it helps keep this thread lively. You do not have to join a faction and can live your entire life as a member. The downside is your buildings, items and farms will not be protected as they would if you were in a faction.

IGN: MichaelFarver Age: 19 Faction: Lord Barclay Did you really read the rules? Yes, and there is no problem. Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents) Born at 1991, a 9,327 kilograms baby boy came to the world. Son of Russell and Rochenne Farver, Michael for the first time sees the light, and feels the air coming through his lungs. Year after year, the boy grew healthly. After his brother Kenyo born (he was 4 this time), William knew since that moment that he had a partner for life. They would do everything together. When they were, respectively, 16 and 12 years old, they started entering to the cruel and hard world of a Christian Warrior. They really shouldn't have chosen this path...
Michael and Kenyo grew high in their knighthood . Michael used to care about the ideals of chivalry, and Kenyo was putting his hands on the cash, real big cash. But that was not to last. Seeing how profitable the knighthood was becoming, the church started to pressionate them. And this pressure lasted 3 years, until, someday, Mike and Ken could not take it anymore. So, they and their knights armed themselves, and the wars began. Which it unfortunately came to a tragic end with the death of Kenyo.

2 Paragraphs about my characters past:
Frederik Greywater was born into the family of a blacksmith who lived in the marshes of the south. As a child he would help around the by making horseshoes and nails and as he got older he was taught to craft greater things such as swords and axes. It seemed that Frederik's life was already set out for him, the poor life of a blacksmith living in a small town in a swamp. Although Frederik had other plans. After seeing many travellers come through his town buying weaponry and tools from his smith, Frederik started wondering more about the greater world and imagined himself on adventures like the ones from stories he had heard from travellers.
So on one cold day Frederik decided that he had had enough of his boring life and packed his bag with some rations and put his own made sword in its sheath. He left that night when his family were sleeping and headed out northwards into the dark boggy marshes.
IGN: Echopraxia Age: 19 Faction: Edwin Blackfly Did you really read the rules? Yes. Twice. Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents) (In West Phil-- Oh wait... MY PARENTS ARE DE-- Wait, that's not right either... ) Here we go... "Garthain Sunspear, Descended from Nathaniel Sunspear, is a large man. Standing at nearly seven feet tall, he towers over others by at least half a foot. He is skilled in most forms of combat, and has an innate sense of when it is time to hold and when to flee. Having seen the prices of equipment and repair, he has been apprenticed to several crafstman, learning to forge and mend his own equipment. Having traveled far and wide across the continent, he now seeks a more permanent home within Blackfly's faction. Not entirely sure what drew him to this side, Garthain hopes that being here will give him an opportunity to forge a name for himself as a Craftsman and Warrior.
Sorry it's somewhat choppy. I had to severely shrink my backstory to fit in two paragraphs. Briefly.
IGN: Samesquirrel Age: 16 Faction: Pd (After getting convinced by Nego and Hollow xD) Did you really read the rules? Yes Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents) Sam came to the land of stronghold in search of blood violence and everything that could push a man over what could be defied as sane. He had heard stories of the war that was happening in the land and decided that to get away from his past he needed to escape to a land where he would never need to think of his old town again, of his abusive father who struck his mother or his own past of what he saw in the mineshaft many moons ago, some say this is what started Sam on this path as if whatever was down there took a piece of his soul and replaced it with a madman. He had contemplated death on many occasions but such a thing could not be brought upon yourself without brining dishonour to those who once loved you...
He felt the only way for him to be free of the chains of his past life would be the sweet embrace of battle. The glory that he could achieve and the touch of ecstasy that would fill his blood as the sticky warm sticky blood would hit his body for the first time, he dreamt of all this and more as the madness slowly started to consume him for he would soon be lost in the heat of battle with no trace of his former self. Only death could lead to his redemption and possibly the reunification of him to his lover..
For some reason my text seems to have a black highlight, this isn't purposful :l

Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents)
Nego started off as an Archer for Lord Barclay. He then became tired of his ruthless ways and back-stabbed his faction to help out Pascal Deveraux. He decided he wanted to learn a little more about potions and decided to work as an apothecary. Soon, Pascal's ruler, Aminimouse, was demoted from being leader and the knight Jccramer took over. With Jccramer as a leader, Nego became the next knight for Pascal. Nego as a knight became bored with this faction. The new leader was never active and he felt he could not do much because none of his men were ever on.
Then the enemy, King Exaldrick, came to him and asked Nego to become a knight; serving at his side. Nego thought about this for a while and eventually decided he would do it. King Exaldrick launched a raid on Pascal Deveraux. Nego used this as his opportunity to back-stab once again. He helped the king and his knight take things from Pascal. After that, he was accepted as King Exaldrick's next knight. King Exaldrick then fell and Nego had nowhere to go. He ran into Pascal Deveraux again and deeply apologized. He then worked out some arrangements with him and his new-found knight HollowGold1...

Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents) Cole started out living as a farm boy with his parents. He didn't have any other relatives. Life was good, food was always at the table and he worked his hours on the farm. Cole worked hard as he grew up while learning the farming skills he needed to run the farm from his father, he gradually took over the farm as his parents grew old. He regularly visited the farming market to sell his goods and perhaps buy a pig. He kept his profession at the farm, constantly renovating and expanding the farm, while visiting the local towns.
For the following years Cole's life went uninterupted. He cared for his parents although they grew old and weak. Daily life was a routine, it seemed as though nothing would ever change his boring farm life. Until he became a warrior for the army because he was really bored one day.

Story: I had a poor childhood with no money what so ever and every minute was working. My parents worked at a market that had almost no buisness. I was the one who got all the supplies and items that they sold. I mined, farmed, and made armour for no reason. Coming to work at a castle helped me so i could make money for a living.
I heard of this land from my brother. So i was walking around when I finally found it. It was a beautiful land mass with castles and many people and warriors walking around. When i saw it i knew it would be the perfect place to stay and make a living. As i first walked in, i was instantly greeted by a man with cyan hair, and i knew this would be where i would live my life...

IGN: Ztb_00 Age: 14 Faction: Lord Barclay Did you really read the rules? Yes, I did. Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents) It was a long time ago, back when The Land of Stronghold was flourishing. I was born into a poor family, living in the Flourishing Sir Seren Wynees city. He was only a Lord, nothing more. Although, he was more of a role model to me than The King. The way the peasants thought of The King, was "Hes a Money Eating Devil" So, I pretty much grew up around that. I never met the king, but his reputation formed my thoughts.It all started one day when one of the Lords, commissioned an assassination on The King. It was a selfish act, but all thought it was needed. The act succeeded, starting a war for King.
Sir Seren Wynee decided to ally Sir William. Just because this man traded with Sir Seren Wynee, he chose him. I did not think it was the wisest choice, but he was under pressure, war coming from both ends. When Lord Barclay heard of his choice, he unleashed a full on attack on Sir Seren Wynee's City. The city fell, accompanied by lots of blood shed. During the Siege we called for aid, but Sir William's army never came. It almost seemed as if, he thought of us as nothing. Somehow I woke up with a Lord Barclay Emblem on my suit. This let me sneak out of the city and head straight for Sir William's Castle.
When I arrived at Sir William's castle, it was midday. I quickly pulled the emblem off and hid it in my pocket. I went to the castle and demanded to speak to Sir William himself. When I got there I asked him, "Why did your army not come to the aid of Sir Seren Wynee?" He laughed at me. He told me, "Oh silly boy, Sir Seren Wynee was only an obstacle, I'm glad you peasants are out of the way, now I can trully become King!" He called for his guards and locked me up.
I woke up with the sudden shake on the ground. It was early morning, but the air was very foggy, almost smoky. Soon, I heard a constant thud, thud, thud. It was so loud, I had to cover my ears. I then knew what was happening, Lord Barclay was attacking Sir William. I knew the battle didn't take long because the screaming stopped shortly. Sir William and his men must have fled. Soon enough some soldiers came into the prison. They bore the emblem of Lord Barclay. As soon as they were about to leave. I remembered the emblem in my pocket. I grabbed it and shouted, "Hey!" Just before the door slammed shut, one of the soliders turned around. He saw the emblem and let me out. Soon, I would go to explain my story to Lord Barclay himself

Age: 17 Faction: Sir William Did you really read the rules? Absolutley Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents)
Donald, son of Roland, had a tough life from the day he was born.
Most years of his life were spent helping on his parents' farm, doing the menial labor which his parents disliked to do, and were too poor to hire a man from their village to do.
One day, when Donald was 17, a group of soldiers from the keep of Sir William visited Donald's village searching for bandits.
Donald immediately felt strongly of these men, and wished to join them one day on their hunts for bandits.
The wait to join these men was much shorter than he expected, for one night, Donald awoke to loud noises and the smell of smoke.
He slipped into his clothes, grabbed a hatchet from near the door, and headed outside.
What he found, was a large fire on one of the villager's barn, and fighting in the streets.
"Bandits!" Somebody yelled, and Donald rushed into action, felling one of the men with a single swing of his hatchet.
He headed to his fellow villagers, where they had been surrounded by bandits, and sent another 2 bandits to their demise.
Startled, some of the bandits spun around to see what had happened, and that is when Sir William's cavalry rushed into the village, quickly dispatching many more foes.
Donald waisted no time to join them in killing any bandit who was foolish enough to continue fighting, and in a few short minutes, they were all taken care of.
The head of the dispatch of knights had seen Donald fighting, and approached him.
"You're quite skilled with that axe, what's your name, boy?"
Donald told him his name, and the knight asked him if he ever thought of becoming a soldier.
He kept his composure, but his heart was racing as he told the knight he dreamed of becoming a knight like him.
"Well, we could use someone as talented as you, why don't you come with us back to Sir William's keep?"
Donald accepted, and raced back home to tell his parents the news and pack his belongings.
His parents were none too pleased, but they agreed it was better than working on a farm the rest of his life.
With that, he ventured off with the Knights of Sir William to protect the kingdom from bandits and foreign invaders like he always dreamt of doing.

(Please No dead / missing parents) Upon the time I was born the kingdoms of the of a big country called Varlaskar we were in the middle of a civil war and our kingdom was being torn apart and the walls coming down then behind them falling were sage towers filled with enemy soldiers.My mother wrapped me up tight in her mothers blanket that her mom has sewed her a few years before she passed away,and then she ran with me leaving my father behind since he was a soldier.Not long after we had left we had meet some allied soldiers from the lands of Stronghold heading to our kingdom so one troop took us back to safety and we waited for a ride back to their kingdom.After a few minutes a carrige come by and circled around us then the person inside told us to get in so we did.Within a few hours we arrived at our allied kingdom in the lands of Stronghold and I do not remeber anything else. Until I was around 14 years old and the kingdom which I had been in for about 14 years was still in battle and the walls were being took down just like my home kingdom.I fled like a idiot.I eventually found soldiers from Sir William in the forest.They told me I should come with them because I am being chased by the enemy kingdom.I followed them until we come up on the kingdom walls of SW.I joined them and became a follower of Sir William.

Then a shark jumped out of the water and started bashing the boat. The boat broke into pieces and luckily i was able to craft a sword and slay the shark. I grabbed my pig and swam with him to land. Knowing i was far from home i knew i would be able to start a new life with my pig.

Must build Realistic Medieval style townships/keeps and or devices. This means no water elevators , No Dwarf Fortresses (mountain bases), no under the sea kingdoms, or Sky islands/Bases. Pretty simple to follow. Illegally themed buildings will receive a warning then will be removed along with anything inside. Illegal Bases will have the land regenerated and would be forced to start over. Illegal devices will be broke without warning.
Faction Rules:
All Factions must be enclosed with walls and display a 5x7 size flag that is accessible to all players.
Factions are allowed to have no more than TWO separately claimed areas. Their City, and an Outpost.
Outposts are limited to 25x25 block area and can not be within 100 blocks from another faction.
A Factions Territory is defined by it's walls.
Walls must be at least 8 blocks or higher.
Walls must be Solid and can not contain any type of organic block or liquid.
Due to players being allowed to break most blocks, you are allowed to use obsidian in your walls but are limited to only 1 block wide.
No Automated Farms or massive Animal Farms. (You don't need thousands of eggs, beef, leather)
No Boostings of MCMMO Skills or using Mob spawners to boost MCstats
Raid Rules.
You need at least 3 members and at least 1 leader of each faction to be online prior to calling a raid. Once you have an Admin's approval, take a screenshot and create a new post to declare your raid and insert the screenshot to show which members are online.
The number of Attackers can not be greater than defenders unless due to defenders logging off.
Factions may hire Rangers only if they have fewer numbers than the other side.
There must be a ten minute server warning prior to the Raid beginning, and raid will run for a maximum of 30 minutes.
When Entering a Faction:
You are allowed to mine through, dig under, or climb over (ladders only) another factions wall to enter their territory.
You can "Sack" another factions base by replacing their flag with your own. If you successfully sack another faction the Raid will be called and you will be given 5 minutes to freely ransack their base.
Thieves:
Loopholes:
These are fairly simple rules. I'm sure something was missed or forgotten. As such we fall back to the loophole rule. If it seems like it's illegal (like farming mob spawners) most likely it is. Use some common sense and if all else ask Eries himself.
Joining:
To join simply enter the ip and log in.
You will start off as a Greylist member and be allowed to chat and walk around the server. You can not interact with the world other than that.
To become an actual member we ask that you take the time and fill out a short application.
This helps us learn more about you, and honestly it helps keep this thread lively. You do not have to join a faction and can live your entire life as a member. The downside is your buildings, items and farms will not be protected as they would if you were in a faction.

Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents) Born at 1991, a 9,327 kilograms baby boy came to the world. Son of Russell and Rochenne Farver, Michael for the first time sees the light, and feels the air coming through his lungs. Year after year, the boy grew healthly. After his brother Kenyo born (he was 4 this time), William knew since that moment that he had a partner for life. They would do everything together. When they were, respectively, 16 and 12 years old, they started entering to the cruel and hard world of a Christian Warrior. They really shouldn't have chosen this path...
Michael and Kenyo grew high in their knighthood . Michael used to care about the ideals of chivalry, and Kenyo was putting his hands on the cash, real big cash. But that was not to last. Seeing how profitable the knighthood was becoming, the church started to pressionate them. And this pressure lasted 3 years, until, someday, Mike and Ken could not take it anymore. So, they and their knights armed themselves, and the wars began. Which it unfortunately came to a tragic end with the death of Kenyo.

2 Paragraphs about my characters past:
Frederik Greywater was born into the family of a blacksmith who lived in the marshes of the south. As a child he would help around the by making horseshoes and nails and as he got older he was taught to craft greater things such as swords and axes. It seemed that Frederik's life was already set out for him, the poor life of a blacksmith living in a small town in a swamp. Although Frederik had other plans. After seeing many travellers come through his town buying weaponry and tools from his smith, Frederik started wondering more about the greater world and imagined himself on adventures like the ones from stories he had heard from travellers.
So on one cold day Frederik decided that he had had enough of his boring life and packed his bag with some rations and put his own made sword in its sheath. He left that night when his family were sleeping and headed out northwards into the dark boggy marshes.

Nego started off as an Archer for Lord Barclay. He then became tired of his ruthless ways and back-stabbed his faction to help out Pascal Deveraux. He decided he wanted to learn a little more about potions and decided to work as an apothecary. Soon, Pascal's ruler, Aminimouse, was demoted from being leader and the knight Jccramer took over. With Jccramer as a leader, Nego became the next knight for Pascal. Nego as a knight became bored with this faction. The new leader was never active and he felt he could not do much because none of his men were ever on.
Then the enemy, King Exaldrick, came to him and asked Nego to become a knight; serving at his side. Nego thought about this for a while and eventually decided he would do it. King Exaldrick launched a raid on Pascal Deveraux. Nego used this as his opportunity to back-stab once again. He helped the king and his knight take things from Pascal. After that, he was accepted as King Exaldrick's next knight. King Exaldrick then fell and Nego had nowhere to go. He ran into Pascal Deveraux again and deeply apologized. He then worked out some arrangements with him and his new-found knight HollowGold1...

Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents) It was a long time ago, back when The Land of Stronghold was flourishing. I was born into a poor family, living in the Flourishing Sir Seren Wynees city. He was only a Lord, nothing more. Although, he was more of a role model to me than The King. The way the peasants thought of The King, was "Hes a Money Eating Devil" So, I pretty much grew up around that. I never met the king, but his reputation formed my thoughts.It all started one day when one of the Lords, commissioned an assassination on The King. It was a selfish act, but all thought it was needed. The act succeeded, starting a war for King.
Sir Seren Wynee decided to ally Sir William. Just because this man traded with Sir Seren Wynee, he chose him. I did not think it was the wisest choice, but he was under pressure, war coming from both ends. When Lord Barclay heard of his choice, he unleashed a full on attack on Sir Seren Wynee's City. The city fell, accompanied by lots of blood shed. During the Siege we called for aid, but Sir William's army never came. It almost seemed as if, he thought of us as nothing. Somehow I woke up with a Lord Barclay Emblem on my suit. This let me sneak out of the city and head straight for Sir William's Castle.
When I arrived at Sir William's castle, it was midday. I quickly pulled the emblem off and hid it in my pocket. I went to the castle and demanded to speak to Sir William himself. When I got there I asked him, "Why did your army not come to the aid of Sir Seren Wynee?" He laughed at me. He told me, "Oh silly boy, Sir Seren Wynee was only an obstacle, I'm glad you peasants are out of the way, now I can trully become King!" He called for his guards and locked me up.
I woke up with the sudden shake on the ground. It was early morning, but the air was very foggy, almost smoky. Soon, I heard a constant thud, thud, thud. It was so loud, I had to cover my ears. I then knew what was happening, Lord Barclay was attacking Sir William. I knew the battle didn't take long because the screaming stopped shortly. Sir William and his men must have fled. Soon enough some soldiers came into the prison. They bore the emblem of Lord Barclay. As soon as they were about to leave. I remembered the emblem in my pocket. I grabbed it and shouted, "Hey!" Just before the door slammed shut, one of the soliders turned around. He saw the emblem and let me out. Soon, I would go to explain my story to Lord Barclay himself

Donald, son of Roland, had a tough life from the day he was born.
Most years of his life were spent helping on his parents' farm, doing the menial labor which his parents disliked to do, and were too poor to hire a man from their village to do.
One day, when Donald was 17, a group of soldiers from the keep of Sir William visited Donald's village searching for bandits.
Donald immediately felt strongly of these men, and wished to join them one day on their hunts for bandits.
The wait to join these men was much shorter than he expected, for one night, Donald awoke to loud noises and the smell of smoke.
He slipped into his clothes, grabbed a hatchet from near the door, and headed outside.
What he found, was a large fire on one of the villager's barn, and fighting in the streets.
"Bandits!" Somebody yelled, and Donald rushed into action, felling one of the men with a single swing of his hatchet.
He headed to his fellow villagers, where they had been surrounded by bandits, and sent another 2 bandits to their demise.
Startled, some of the bandits spun around to see what had happened, and that is when Sir William's cavalry rushed into the village, quickly dispatching many more foes.
Donald waisted no time to join them in killing any bandit who was foolish enough to continue fighting, and in a few short minutes, they were all taken care of.
The head of the dispatch of knights had seen Donald fighting, and approached him.
"You're quite skilled with that axe, what's your name, boy?"
Donald told him his name, and the knight asked him if he ever thought of becoming a soldier.
He kept his composure, but his heart was racing as he told the knight he dreamed of becoming a knight like him.
"Well, we could use someone as talented as you, why don't you come with us back to Sir William's keep?"
Donald accepted, and raced back home to tell his parents the news and pack his belongings.
His parents were none too pleased, but they agreed it was better than working on a farm the rest of his life.
With that, he ventured off with the Knights of Sir William to protect the kingdom from bandits and foreign invaders like he always dreamt of doing.

Upon the time I was born the kingdoms of the of a big country called Varlaskar we were in the middle of a civil war and our kingdom was being torn apart and the walls coming down then behind them falling were sage towers filled with enemy soldiers.My mother wrapped me up tight in her mothers blanket that her mom has sewed her a few years before she passed away,and then she ran with me leaving my father behind since he was a soldier.Not long after we had left we had meet some allied soldiers from the lands of Stronghold heading to our kingdom so one troop took us back to safety and we waited for a ride back to their kingdom.After a few minutes a carrige come by and circled around us then the person inside told us to get in so we did.Within a few hours we arrived at our allied kingdom in the lands of Stronghold and I do not remeber anything else.
Until I was around 14 years old and the kingdom which I had been in for about 14 years was still in battle and the walls were being took down just like my home kingdom.I fled like a idiot.I eventually found soldiers from Sir William in the forest.They told me I should come with them because I am being chased by the enemy kingdom.I followed them until we come up on the kingdom walls of SW.I joined them and became a follower of Sir William.

Please write a brief two paragraphs about your character or their past. (Please No dead / missing parents) my family had been going through a tough point and i was being beaten. I decided enough was enough and I grabbed my pig and rode him away. My pig was very strong maybe because of the steroids. We rode for many miles i used up about 6 carrots on a stick. We rode over the ocean because i rode on my pig who was riding on a boat. Then a shark jumped out of the water and started bashing the boat. The boat broke into pieces and luckily i was able to craft a sword and slay the shark. I grabbed my pig and swam with him to land. Knowing i was far from home i knew i would be able to start a new life with my pig.
Please fix your Paragraph since it must fit the Stronghold requirements, as in a Medieval Themed story. Fix that, and you are good to go.
