Pack your bags! You are headed to Mortem Tupiu !

Dear Esme,

I hope this letter finds you and your tribe safe on the center. I am writing you to let you know that I have visited many lands in search of one that seemed to be a great fit to expand the tribes reach and one that appears to be safe from the Bush People... for now. I have traveled to such places as the Shigo Islands, and Madagascar, and even something called Old Worlds... but so far the one that took my breath away was called Mortem Tupiu.

Mortem Tupiu has breathtaking beaches if you can stop long enough to enjoy them. In the distance I see a floating crystal but I have not yet crafted a raft to venture across the seas to see if it is a peaceful place or one that requires a more experienced group of explorers. Speaking of exploring, I heard from Bobbert that you have requested your childhood friend Raivenn to join us? I can't believe he still keeps tabs on her after all of these years. Being that water exploration is her strong suit, I assume the floating crystal may be one of her goals to explore once she arrives here. I can not tell if it is a power source to something or what might be keeping this magical realm anchored in our realm? I kind of makes sense because you said yourself that no one on the island had ever heard of it?

If you are wondering if you will be alone here, that much I can not tell... but I can tell you that there is A LOT of water. If any of your fellow tribesmen and tribeswomen wish to help stake claim to this land , they best be a fan of water. It also appears that the wild life here is separated into much different Biomes than what we are typically used too. Nothing as challenging and awe inspiring as the Scorched earth where brother Bobbert is exploring, but definitely something mysterious.

I can see ruins through my spy glass, some in the shape of large beasts, that I can only assume were built in the likeness of those of this land. I have not ventured deep inland though, as you may recall I have a fear of Boas! There appears to be many quite close to where I am. I am having a hard time hearing my thoughts over the hissing right now. I managed to tame a pteranodon  to see what I could find out about the land from above. There are biomes scattered around the center of this inner land mass. I see what looks to be snow capped mountains off in the distance, but I am not entirely sure what the other islands have on them. That much you will have to tell me when you hear from Raivenn. I have to head out of here soon, Bobbert has invited me to come and meet his room mates on Scorched Earth. He said both seem like "My Type"... I doubt wither one of them can beat me in an arm wrestling match!

TTYL Cuz!
Janebert

Rated Ark "Punching Trees Tip"

Name: Esme

Type of tip or tale?
Tip for new players!
"A Punching Trees" tip!

Tip OR Tale:
If you are playing Scorched Earth or plan to play scorched earth, Hit your M button to open up your map and write the best coordinates you can muster the minute you throw down a house to call your own so you can find it again. The reason being is that when you first arrive, the land all looks the same. This can make it incredibly easy to get lost and even easier to get killed trying to find your way back to your original pre bed phase. You die so much as a new survivor on this map, that I find it very important to get a bed made and your coordinates logged asap on scorched, and really any Ark map imo 😄

Chicks That Click Episode #20

The beginning or the end? Ark RP Entry Esme

After I spotted the first set of "Bush People" last week off of our southern coast of the Island Paradise, I've been looking for their return. I believe the first batch were merely scouting because they are increasing in number every day. I had finished my latest trip to the red obelisk when I saw them approach the coast to my beloved castle home.

I will never forget the sound of a spear flying past my head nor the light breeze it emits as it misses your flesh. This is not to say that the Bush People are a bad aim, this is to speak to the fact they can launch a spear up a rock over cliff that as high as two stacked Bronto's! 

I spent the rest of the evening fortifying my castle home. It seems silly to care about it as this will be our last week in the island...but I can not bring myself to feel as though I've given in. 

The picture I have enclosed is one of the first battle rafts to make it to my coast and also the first if which I welcomed with a comforting glow of a rocket grenade. I hope they brought marshmallows!
