GodEmperorFlam 3447 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Historical/Legend Submissions Historical Submissions are lore pieces that cover something that occurred in LotC’s history. If something here or in the other criteria pages confuses you, please contact a story member or post on our FAQ, found here. Historical Historical lore can be written for a few things. Firstly, it is written for time periods that players were not around for OR for time periods for areas that the players did not have access to. Secondly, it can be written for anything, including deities and other entities outside of the Mortal Realm. It does not need to be limited to the modern era either, you could try your hand at some historical lore about the first time Iblees went to war with the descendants. What your piece should do is provide depth/worldbuilding to an aspect of the server. It should not exist just to exist or to try and validate an RP belief. Legends Historical pieces also do not need to be entirely factual. You are capable of submitting a “Legends” variety which provides a looser interpretation of events and is meant to be an RP friendly tale that people can know on the server. This is essentially submitting an RP Tale that people can know on the server/claim they found in a book if need be. It can not be about any current characters or be used to try and promote a fake narrative that boosts current RP. Format This format is meant to be used for Historical/Legend Submissions. 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 should be [Historical Lore] or [Legend Lore] - [Name]. For example, Historical Lore – Horen’s Battle Against Iblees or Legend Lore – The Plight of the First Halflings. History/Legend This part is where you put in the historical information or your RP Legend. There isn’t a set method for this, so you can style it as if it was someone’s journal, two people talking in a pub, et cetera. OOC Explanation This is where you cover the historical text from an OOC standpoint, explaining it to the members of Story. This does not need to be particularly long, so long as you get to the point about what it is about & if it establishes anything important that might alter history or sets a precedent. If you are aiming to have this be a Legends piece, talk to us OOCly about the Legend and inform us how you wish for this to spread. 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.
