Wossoo (also known as The Dragonslayer and King of Lomaner) joined Wurm in October 2005 during the final beta map. He has played the game consistently since then and has also been on the Wurm team since around 2008. He is most known for being a Game Master and former Public Relations Manager. He also gained notoriety as leader of the short-lived Epic cluster player-made kingdom called Lomaner, based on the backstory kingdom of the same name. He is also credited with a startup quote, indicating that he is an early dragonslayer.
"Hold your ground, don't let her pass!"
Wossoo the Dragonslayer
Notable Achievements
Freedom Cluster
His main achievements on the Freedom Cluster include becoming a Jenn-Kellon Champion of Magranon in February 2009 under the old 3 lives and permadeath system. His champion status was removed when the champion system was changed in 2011. He has held many political roles on Chaos, including Mayor of Camelot, a founding Mol-Rehan settlement, and held the noble office of Court Announcer under Chancellor Taya's government. Almost immediately after converting to Jenn-Kellon, he was promoted to the noble offices of Earl Marshal and Royal Herald, and was decorated as a Defender of the Crown under Grand Prince Pedro.
Epic Cluster
Wossoo joined the Epic Cluster the day it was opened in October 2011, and on that day founded Lomaner, a player-made kingdom that he had become self-styled leader of since November 2006. Lomaner was difficult to control politically and due to real-world constraints, Wossoo was unable to dedicate the time required to bring all factions of the kingdom together. Eventually, after significant portions of the kingdom left for Horde of the Summoned, Wossoo judged that the best option would be to appoint Agentusp as Crown Regent. Lomaner came under heavy assault from Horde of the Summoned, who were aided by a dominated Black Dragon, and fell shortly afterwards. Lomaner was based on the backstory kingdom of the same name.
After the fall of Lomaner under Crown Regent Agentusp, Wossoo was forced to join Jenn-Kellon as The Exiled King of Lomaner, and last remaining member of the Order of the Golden Unicorn of Lomaner. He got involved in Jenn-Kellon politics becoming Information Minister under Grand Prince Michieldewit and later Royal Herald under Grand Princess Judicator. He was also appointed to the Order of the Northern Star.
Wurm Team
After first becoming a Player Assistant in 2008, Wossoo was promoted to Chat and Forum Moderator in 2009. In June 2010 Wossoo was invited to become a Game Master in June 2010 under the name Poseidon. Wossoo became Public Relations Manager (PRM) on Rolf's invitation in 2012. As PRM, he founded a brand new Public Relations department, creating the role of Public Relations Assistant (PRA) . He remains a GM, and remains an advisor in the PR Department, but stepped down as PRM in 2013 in recognition of Redbaron_Johan being hired as Marketing and PR Manager.
Histories
Wossoo has a long hisory in Wurm spanning nearly a decade. Some dates and places may be slightly out of order and other things may have become lost in time.
Final Beta
The Adventure Begins
Wossoo began his journey in Wurm on October 31st, 2005. He was 13 years old. His brother introduced him to the game. He spawned into Newtown and discovered very quickly that it was possible to terraform and change the landscape. He was immediately hooked. While attempting to build low stone walls around a small enclosure with his brother, he was killed by a black wolf. The brothers decided that they would be safer in a mine. Luckily, across the bay near Greentown existed a small open mine which the brothers moved into. It is said that Wossoo mined a Ruby on his first ever mining action.
Their safety was short-lived, and a Horde of the Summoned by the name of Pedro found them in their mine, and slaughtered them both dead. This was Wossoo's first taste of PvP. The brothers soon found that their plan of living alone was not going to work very well, and when the kind Mayor Goglepox of Greentown offered them basic tools and some land in his town, they joined soon after.
While at Greentown, Wossoo's brother decided to become inactive after various Horde of the Summoned attacked and destroyed their things. They also fell victim to the notorious Hamm the Thief, Newlaurethwl and Cerriuluswl(sp?). Undeterred, Wossoo had his revenge on the latter two by destroying their farmlands.
Eventually Wossoo decided to establish himself nearer to Newtown, and built a small shack outside the city walls. It was here that he first met Rudie and they made some fish steaks. Desperate for supplies, Wossoo also broke into Avalon Tree Farm, owned by Barakus - a player who would later become Head Game Master. Unfortunately, being so close to Newtown brought its own problems. After repeated attacks by Horde of the Summoned, he decided to accept Ranger's offer to join Iron Canyon.
The Iron Canyon
Iron Canyon was Wossoo's first real experience of life in a settlement. It was a rustic settlement, surrounded by wooden palisade walls instead of the usual tall stone walls. I was situated very close to the white light and so Wossoo was able to visit it on a regular basis to pray to Fo. He met some long-time friends at Iron Canyon, including Kingen (whom he taught to make bricks), Vafaan (Peo) and Chromega. He also met someone in the village who was, by massive coincidence, only 4 hours older than himself in the real world.
Iron Canyon was attacked by blacklighters from time to time, and Wossoo first met Playtimesover (PTO) here after he brought a unicorn to the village. It was during this time that Wossoo first began chatting to Sal in Kingdom chat, who would later become a good friend.
Over time Ranger had less time to play Wurm, and Iron Canyon descended into inactivity. Feeling alone, Wossoo decided to wander a little and attempt to find cows to sell to Dreammaster, the Mayor of Kyara, for five silver coins each. He also attempted on many times to convert to Horde of the Summoned. He was forever unsuccessful, but eventually joined forces with Playtimesover on a secret mission to convert and spy on blacklighters directly.
Leersum and the end of beta
Once they had finished their mission, Playtimesover the war leader moved back and joined the town his twin brother Tdekker had set up. The town was called Leersum, and Wossoo joined soon afterwards to help build. Leersum had close access to blacklighters deeds and likewise came under attack on a regular basis. It is said that Wossoo very much enjoyed his time with the twins Tdekker and Playtimesover, and this would end up dividing his loyalties in the future. He also met :Lardo at Leersum.
While he lived in Leersum, the Gods announced that there would be a month of 12x skillgain to simulate a year of skill grinding in preparation for the release of Wurm in Gold 1. Wossoo never really took much advantage of this extra skillgain because it was his first armageddon, which always seems to hurt the most, and he was angry about it.
Gold 1
New Beginnings
Wurm went gold on the 6th June 2006. A perfect 6-6-6. Sadly since he was so young he was worried that he would be unable to become a premium player. In the end his parents relented and allowed him to subscribe for two months at a time. This was not enough to allow Wossoo to become a Keeper of Truth with a Master Bag of Keeping for buying a year's worth of premium in the first week of Gold, but it did allow him to become Ageless with a regular Bag of Keeping.
Initially he had trouble with huge spiders, which had just been implemented. They were much stronger than they are now, and even that was besides the point when everyone was starting from scratch. He had spawned on the original and first ever non-PvP server - the Home Server. In order to get to the Wild Server to join Tdekker and Playtimesover in Leersum, he had to swim a very long way. This was well before the times of horses and boats, but it was what had to be done.
The Second Leersum
Wossoo never quite made it to Leersum, but at least he made it to the Wild Server. Happily, Leersum was situated along the coast from the white light so it was easy to find. In these days, Wossoo like nearly everyone else had started to chose his skills and grind them up a little bit in order to be useful. Tdekker and Playtimesover used to spend most of their time exploring and searching (successfully) for dragon eggs. Wossoo held the role of Foreign Advisor of Leersum, advising on how to deal with other villages.
Not much else is remembered by Wossoo about these times, but it is clear that it came to an end quite suddenly. Back in those days, Horde of the Summoned were seen as an elite group of PvP fighters and anyone with high fighting was invited to join. Tdekker caught the eye of Libilian Outlaws and so he was recruited, leaving Leersum behind. Wossoo was not sure exactly where to go until a surprise offer came from Lardo.
First taste of power: Sparta
Lardo had asked Wossoo to become co-Mayor of Sparta and look after it while he was unable to play Wurm. It had few if any citizens, so Wossoo was pretty much left in charge of the deed and made improvements and developments as he saw fit. Sparta was situated near to Haven, whose mayor was Sal. Wossoo and Sal became friends, although they sometimes had arguments over land. Haven was certainly the larger deed by far, but Wossoo wanted to ensure that Sparta controlled as much hunting land as possible. Living on Eye Spy mountain behind Sparta was Hacking. The two became extremely good friends and that strong friendship continues to this day.
While at Sparta, Wossoo took part in some kingdom PvP activities and was active in ventrilo. He was present at the Battle of Syphilis on 3rd August 2006 and escaped the battle itself alive after logging off in the woods for the night. He was eventually killed by a rabid hyena after becoming lost in the woods the next day.
Eventually, it emerged that Haven was going to disband. On first glance this might seem like a good thing for Wossoo's Sparta but this is not the case at all. In actual fact, Libilian Outlaws had set up their town directly across the great lake from Sparta and so Sparta relied on Haven for protection. Wossoo knew this spelt doom for Sparta, so he decided to abandon his co-Mayorship and asked Tdekker if he could join Horde of the Summoned, becoming a traitor in the eyes of the whitelighters. Lardo found out eventually, disbanded Sparta, and quit.
Meeting Libila
To be deleted
Previously founded and owned "The Millennium Fort" but lack of resources and an awkward environment prompted a sudden unexpected move to Serenity lake where he now lives.
Wossoo lived with the kind people of Serenity Lake towards the end of Gold 1.
Founded The Uprising of Lómaner 3rd November 2006 and was once known to some as His Majesty, Wossoo, King and Leader of the Uprising Alliance and Kingdom of Lómaner. Unfortunately, the expansion of the kingdom was too rapid and consequently it crumbled and disbanded... at least for now.
Wossoo was Mining, Digging, Misc Items, Masonry and is a keen fighter.
Wossoo is also [Trollslayer] and [Ageless]
In addition, he is currently in the process of writing his story The Silenced Merchant.
By Wurmageddon, Wossoo had returned to the wild server as a black lighter.
