GodEmperorFlam 3447 Share Posted July 14, 2019 World Lore Event Submissions This thread covers world lore event submissions, which are special pieces of world lore that are meant to be used by actors or incorporated into new maps. If something here or in the other criteria pages confuses you, please contact a story member or post on our FAQ, found here. World Lore Events This is a broad topic as many things can be considered for world lore events. However, please do not confuse this with an event proposal. While an event proposal might be for an eventline, this is for adding permanent world lore pieces that events can spring from to LotC’s canon. From magical weather phenomenons to special diseases to special flying islands, so long as it is meant for events and is not in the hand of players, it constitutes as world lore events. Format This format is meant for world lore event 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 [World Event Lore] - [Name]. For example, World Event Lore – Gravity Rainstorms. Origin/Backstory This is where you should put an RP friendly backstory or potential origin story for the lore. It can be written however you want (e.g. in journal entry format or in a narrative format). Details This is where you put the details of the world lore event that you are proposing. Cover how it starts, the effects it has on the world, and any other details you feel is important. Make sure that you are clear as any actor should be able to read this piece and have a full understanding of how it works. Red Lines (Optional) If your piece effects players in some manner, whether it be infecting them or bolstering them in some manner, you should put any red lines/restrictions here. 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. This is OOC and separate from the lore itself and is meant to help the Story Team understand what niche your race is filling. It does not need to be super long or in-depth. 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.
