Tree Lords:

Unattunement

Spoiler

Unattunement upon a Soul Tree is a rigorous process, and the only way to revert from being a Soul Tree. It requires the location of the Soul Tree itself, rather than just a sapling or the husk. As the blessing is revoked from the Soul Tree, the binding and energies that hold it together are released; with the soul escaping. This process is painful for all those involved; the Tree Lord, and all participants of the unattunement.

 

Rules regarding Unattunement Here:

https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/186715-magic-lore-druidic-communion/

*Unattunement requires the location of the Soul Tree.

*If Unattunement is attempted on the Husk, the Husk will die for 24 OOC hours, and the participants will still be drained as if they unattuned someone. After 24 hours the Druids will reawaken from their tree feeling unimaginable pain.

*All Unattunement readlines per current Druidic Communion & Control apply

*Unattunement is a PK.

*Regardless of success or failure, Unattument cannot be performed again by the druids casting the ritual for [7] OOC days. This cooldown is incurred should the ritual be disrupted before the conclusion of the [4th] emote. This period begins immediately after the first successful interruption, and ends [7] OOC days following the conclusion of any RP or frozen RP where an unattunement attempt was made upon a Treelord’s Soul Tree.

Saplings

Spoiler

Desc: Soul Trees are capable of producing a sapling which serves as an empty container for the soul, should anything happen to the original tree. Unlike ungrowing, this can be done without the Tree Lord’s consent. Regardless of consent, the Soul Tree feels a great deal of pain when a sapling is drawn from it, summoning the Tree Lord to protect the Soul Tree and attack the one removing the sapling with uncontrollable urges. Once obtained, this sapling must be nurtured regularly with a consistent supply of druidic energies exposure to sunlight and air, or saturation within druidic energies; otherwise it will wither and die, paining the Tree Lord even more. It is impossible for a Tree Lord to remove a sapling from their own Soul Tree, so they must either find someone willing to do it for them- or have it taken against their own will.

Only one sapling can be active at a time, if another sapling is removed the first would wither into ashes and dust. The same would happen if the original Soul Tree is unattuned, due to it being the main conduit of the soul.

The purpose of this is so that in the case of the Soul Tree being destroyed while a sapling is active and nurtured, the soul is transferred over with a limited time to be planted, similar to ‘Ungrowing’ above.

OOC: Requires player’s OOC consent but not IC consent, and the player online to interact and RP the Soul Tree’s Defenses. Extracting a sapling requires at least one t5 druid present. With only one druid it is exhausting, but with powersharing the burden is spread across and made easier to bare. The Sapling Soul Tree must be replanted within 2-3 OOC days, with exceptions for players who cannot log on, or for map changes that can take longer.

Red Lines:

*A Sapling can be taken from a Soul Tree with both IC and OOC consent of the treelord, though the tree Lord cannot remove it on their own. Even with IC consent the Tree Lord will still feel compelled to protect and stop the sapling from being taken.

*The Sapling can only be kept alive through druidic energies and magic.

*No more than one (1) sapling can be active from the Soul Tree.

*Once the soul has transferred to a active sapling the sapling must be replanted in 2 to 3 7 OOC days of the ungrowing (with exceptions), otherwise it is a permakill.

*Once a sapling is planted and grown, another cannot be taken from the new tree for 2 OOC Days.

*The Sapling must be a ST signed item. It may be soulbound normally.

*A Sapling must be stored within a Fae Circle or a character’s inventory. If a Tree Lord goes on extended hiatus, they must contact LT to put a pause on the progression of Sapling Decay or replanting Timers. Should a sapling not be stored in either of these for [5] OOC days, the sapling goes inert and decays.

 

[ClassyDryad 2367]

Unattunement requiring the soul tree was abused heavily in the past and probably shouldn't come back. The sapling change makes sense though (I personally think we should just shelve the whole tree side of the CA at the cost of them losing their psuedo-soulless defense.

This is meant to serve as a measure given the situation has ended to kinda ensure we DONT see a repeat of these issues; amendments have come thro already internally regarding other changes
