Patron Submissions

Patron submissions are lore pieces that cover a new Aengudaemonic Patron and their goals. You can read more about the direction that Story is taking Patrons here. If something here or in the other criteria pages confuses you, please contact a story member or post on our FAQ, found here.

Patrons

Patrons are beings created by or infused with power by an Aengudaemon to serve some purpose said deity wants to see fulfilled. Patrons range in power and do not always need to be deific figures. Examples of this would be the Ascended or Undead, mortals given boons by Aengudaemons that give them a new form or traits. Conversely, there are beings such as Dragaar/Drakaar and the Spirits which have overwhelming power in certain situations.

 

When designing a Patron, you have to bear in mind their purpose and how they are designed relationship-wise to their creator. Questions like the following should be asked: Are their souls bound to the Aengudaemon where they have to serve? Are they given free will to carry out some goal and if so, what goal? Do they respect the Aengudaemon or are they looking to backstab them? How do they view Mortals? Are they capable of giving boons to people?

Format

This formatting is meant to be used for proposed Patron lore pieces. If you believe your lore needs a hybrid formatting, please contact story management before you start writing it to confirm that you can use it.

 

Thread Title

The thread title title should be: [Patron Lore] – [Name], [Patron of (insert name here)]. For example, Patron Lore – Abe, Patron of Tahariae.

 

Origin/Backstory

This is where you detail how the Patron was created or raised into power by the Aengudaemon. Make sure to do some research with said Aenguldaemon so that it aligns with current lore.
 

Personality

This is where you describe how the Patron acts. This will be needed if they are ever used in events. Do they respect the Aengudaemon or are they looking to backstab them? How do they view Mortals? etc. are things that should be written out here.

 

Goals

This is where you describe what the Patron was made for and how they are trying to carry that goal out.

 

Abilities

This section is where the capabilities of the Patron are described. It doesn’t need to follow normal magic abilities, but you should give us a good idea of what the Patron is capable of in case it gets played by a Story member.

 

Current Location

This section should cover where they are currently and what would entail them leaving it to be used for future events/storylines. This section doesn’t mean there has to be a way for the Patron to appear/be used however. It’s more of a general means of having insight to what is currently going on with the Patron or if there are any future possible interactions.

 

Purpose (OOC)

This section is where you describe what purpose your lore is serving, what it is bringing to the table that other lore pieces aren’t, and why it fits into LotC’s canon.

 

Citation Spoiler

You should have a spoiler at the bottom that includes links to any lore pieces that you referenced or based your lore submission off of.
