Iblees’ Curse: Weakened.

[TavernLich 324]

OOC:

 

This is a short explanation as to why some dwarves are conservative and charitable, some orcs possess restraint, the elves are able to spout out a baby one after the other and why humans are still in their twenties even after being born in Aegis. 

 

~= Iblees’s Diluted Curses=~

 

After Iblees’ initial defeat in the ever so bloody wars of Aegis, his power fluctuated, withering and strengthening on and off, akin to that of a roller coaster. With these frequent fluctuations of his power, his curse upon the descendants, in turn, were strong at certain times an weak at other times. It is with this weakening that some dwarves, orcs, elves and humans are able to dodge their curse. However, this did not allow for their banes to fade away entirely, some were still subject to Iblees’ legacy. 

 

After his most recent banishment, Iblees’ strength wavered even more so. More and more individuals were safeguarded from his taint, humans and elves, most of all experiencing this phenomena first hand. Oren seeing a wave of younger folks rather than aged, perhaps decrepit, men flooding their streets. The Mali, especially the Mali’aheral and the Mali’ame, continues to receive a baffling number of children- to the point that some are not treated as well as they should be. 

 

OOC:

 

After sometime, I’ve seen a lot of people avoiding their race’s curse, as I am sure many of you have as well. Elves are literally shooting babies out like some sort of baby-making factory, humans are not even aging and so forth. This lore, hopefully, abides and correlates to how LotC’s community has utilized and RPed their curses from Aegis to Athera.

The elves are not spouting out children. Cerulin has had a grand total of one child birth in the last 3 months.

 

The elves are numerous because people make elves from the offset, not because we have a lot of children.

There are a few exceptions (*cough* Powells and Mantisukus *cough*) but pretty much this. Only elves that I know that are giving birth recently/soon haven't had children before/last time it happened was months ago.

 

Plus this just seems like a way to encourage lore-breaking things. I'd actually prefer if staff cracked down on people who play immortal humans (with no reason) and stuff like that.

In a more serious note, one "remedy" to the Elven curse is to simply FTB somebody over and over and over and over...   ... and over again. It seems like a dumb loophole, but it technicially works. Other races can FTB over and over and over again, but it's just more likely they'd get pregnant with less FTBs. On the non-aging characters, though, there is an issue. I've seen people claim to have something that made them never age or made them immortal, but there's no lore or RP to back it up.

Exactly, that was one of the main issues which gave me reasoning to create this 5-minute explanation.

On the dwarven curse, there are plenty of dwarves who are greedy for stuff, if not all. We're just greedy for different things, it doesn't have  to be gold and jewels. And from my dwarf characters, I've discovered their personal greed through rping with them. Right now, my dwarf currently, is greedy of his friends and family, he can't stand to see them harmed, and it shows dramatically. He's also greedy over his clan's relics and knowledge, literally he'll kill someone over these things, and has does so.

I honestly believe that people are Roleplaying their curses just fine. There is a problem though, I admit, but it is easier to see the characters that violate their respective curses than those that don't. I mean for example, neither of my elves have children.

I have to disagree, all I see are pregnant elves with all denominations of months.

I seriously doubt it. But even if there are, I have no control over how random homeless cultureless expatriates rp their fertility.

In cerulin itself, there have been little to no childbirths. I can assume the same for ker'nor and haelun'or

I actually did the math on the frequency of pregnancy when I FTB, and it's a 1 in 400 chance for a pregnancy with how I roll. I do both players /roll 20, and if they have the same number, it's a pregnancy. It's a 1 in 20 chance to get any given # for both, so 1/20 x 1/20 = 1/400 because math! If there are any issues with this math, please tell me.

You've...probably seen one.

 

That's exactly how many pregnant elves I know.

How did I know I was gonna be here? ahahaha. But actually I was told it was alright but VERY pushing it. And even asked on it. Was told something about them being not able to have kids for like 15-20 years or so. So I stuck to that. And most of his lovers were humans, which is easy to knock up maybe? (Totes interbreeded a few times.) and the fact most wanted to do a child thing adding to the roll gods. But now I understand a lot more than i did when I started. No more Kids for me xP unless adoption or his kids having kids. Enough on defending my case. :)

I've seen so many [1-8]  month prefixes by mostly elven women or half-breeds it's ridiculous lel. Humans, who are meant to be most fertile, don't even have as many female chars like that. Just elven. it's ridic
