[Official] Kharajyr question and answer thread.

[Kim 1328]

This is not a troll question. I am 100% serious.

Even if it is a real question, try to keep it to pms or not ask at all. We would like to avoid any unnecessary ooc drama.

As to answering your question, we don't let anyone play a Kha'. Every player on LOTC has a right to create a Kharajyr if they wish. 

[Geo 1415]

If you have a problem with a player, you are very welcome to bring it to me and we can speak about it.  Otherwise, please let us leave this thread exclusively for quieries about the Kharajyr as a race and culture.

Have we all died? Cause I'm now a Kha, and I have seen no others. I spoke to a dwarf the other day who briefly tried to powergame throwing knives because those are definitely dwarvish, before telling me the reason of his rage; A Kha bit his hand off, and I had an RP discussion with him which concluded with me and him agreeing it was some sort of feral animal.

 

I should not have to face off, 4 to 1, and negotiate against a hunting party of filthy apes,

 

On a second note, bring back the applications but remove a majority of the situation-based questions, they rarely come up in RP and the applicants' biography should be substantial enough for the administrators of said applications to get a vague sort of idea about the applicants' character.

 

Also, the Tla dead? He seems dead. I keep having to back him up when I try and negotiate with apes about housing and selling my wares. I tell them he's on some sort of grand spiritual journey, which sounds stupendously lame.

Also, Kha Magic. Don't even know what it's called, seen it a total of once back before the island got Independence Day'd by our glorious creator. What is it called, and why don't we see more of it when now, all you have to do is breathe to be a mage?

(Spiffing idea by the way, PVP in an RP server aside from glorious wars is just so great.)

[Geo 1415]

The Kharajyr are located at the Grove near spawn at the moment, as more of a temporary location until 4.0.  We're looking to get some place in the fringe, but that has not yet happened.  And Kharajyr are actually encouraged to be a lot more feral and vicious, that is our nature.  We are large jungle cats, not some Khajiit tradesman rip off.  Your negotiations are just unfortunate, I hope you can try to locate us and then bring some more with you in the future.

The application will not return, as the server wants to move away from having to use applications for anything but initiallly applying to Lord of the Craft and for joining a staff team.  It is somewhat up to the player how they will develop their character and their backstory but as long as they stay within lore regulations they can do it however they wish. 

 

And don't worry, I am not dead.  Unfortunately for the lot of us, I'm a GM.  And whilst I usually am able to make time to do both my role as a moderator and my role as a racial leader, right now it isn't too possible.  GM's have been asked to shift their focus entirely on the development of 4.0 to make sure it will be as fantastic as an experience as we could possibly give you, and I am no exclusion to that.  I've been building our home in 4.0, I've been landscaping other areas of the map, I've been trying to help develop things for 4.0 that can't really be spoke about.  Though even then I've not done much in that regard as I've been swamped with exams, and as this is my final year of school these exams are very important.  This is always the time of year when LoTC moves slowly, as most of our players are still in education, and exams begin to happen. 

 

I've let the older Kharajyr players know that they can be trusted to act as figureheads in my absence from an IC perspective, and things have been going smoothly, it's just a shame you've not yet found where we live.  Beyond that, I live in the GMT timezone, and most of our players are EST which makes it hard for me to be online at the same time as them.  However I am nine times out of ten always on skype, and available to speak to if you need something. 

 

Edit::  There are Kharajyr priests around, and now that you're in the Kharajyr skype chat it should be easy to access them.  However Muun;Trivazja is a subtype that is on lockdown, like druidism, monk magic and the like, as only certain people can learn it.  Whilst only Kharajyr can learn it, you must first be allowed to become a priest before you can learn it.

EDIT: disregard this reply

 

I see no reason for you to be sarcastic about this. The kha' are fine in numbers, most hang around the sanctuary. However, many people are waiting for 4.0 to kick in before they become active again, with this number slowly growing, less people are being left on the server to actually play kha.

 

Secondly, whatever business you get into with apes is yours to handle, don't bring the the ruler of the kha' into petty squabbles or trading, that's like asking the king to back you up in a bar fight. The Tla' (Geo) is a pretty cool guy, he just lives in a different time zone and can't afford to be on all the time. By the way, applications were removed due to low player count (idk the true reason) and they are a matter you can discuss with the more elder kha' over PM/IM.

 

Finally, I believe we have posts on Kha' magic in our roleplay section, our magic is used mainly by priests, and it requires training to handle, otherwise it is possible to learn normal magic, if not a priest, however you'd have to consult someone more qualified to see which forms are considered heresy to practice. 

 

I hope that helped, remember that we're people as well, and you can ask for help without being rude.

This is how I was taught to phrase things, I am sorry if that has somehow offended you.

does anyone even rp a kha anymore

[Guest]

I'm reasonably still active as Zaddha. Although, not nearly as much as I was say. . . 2 months ago.

[Addled 62]

Of course people roleplay kha still. We're still here. 

[Stag 3230]

I see at least one a day in Tahn'siol where most of them are located.

[brotherpig123 38]

Orcs and Kharajyr are buddies, right? I mean, they don't hate each other, and they have a lot in common.
Both the orcs and kha have low numbers so why don't we team up, something could be worked out in RP where both races unite under the War Uzg! (Or something else if you don't like that.)

It happened in Anthos for a moment but a wall quickly shot up between both camps, since the orcs are living in the savannah in 4.0 the kharajyr can have a 'kha-lionas' or something.

Sorry for the blabbering, a lot came off this question.

[Volutional 935]

I'm not sure if it is my place to say, but in the past the Orcish race and the Kharajian kind have butted heads plenty of times. Their similarities are generally what make them prone to mutual hostility. However, given some times of prosper, Orcs and Kharajyr have been known to understand this and us both of their combined strength together to prevent harm to both sides. It is usually in a bid to protect oneself rather than make friends, however survivability isn't the primary focus of some previous political movements. In the past, Orcs and Kharajyr have joined in alliance in what some may relate to things like 'The Horde', as seen in Anthos. Not necessarily identical but understandable at least.
 
Also in reference to Kha'Lions, it has been brought up in the past by numerous people, none of which have actually adapted on the idea, but in my previous experience it is definitely not something that was suggested by the original (I think?) creator; Xerdun. In any event, it would be an overruling of his prior decision that culminates in the implementation of the sub-race. I doubt it would be a specific thing to have just 'happened', though. It would require adaption, just like random blue humans don't pop up out of nowhere in real life. If I were to provide a little example it would be that Metztli perhaps decided that lions could look sexier in humanoid form, I'm not sure... Something like that.

[DecoLamb 959]

A kha can grow out and groom their fur to stylize into a faux mane. My little kha'cheetrah did it for several years.

[ShadowoKing 86]

Orcs and Kharajyr are buddies, right?

 

Not sure, since both sides lack communcation with one another. They were buddies for awhile until orcs changed their leadership and structure. Kharajyr are getting their own island in 4.0 so orcs and kharajyr cannot be side by side.

 

And on the Kha'lions subject. Decolamb is correct, you can make your kha grow a mane like a lion but you are not a lion. Xerdun said this from the old Q&A on Kharajyr lore page.
