Mithradites 1168 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Probably! I've never read the rune-lore, so I guess you'll have to go with darkjames on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoi 173 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Rune Magic lore is actually still pending. It's being finalized and finished. It was Accepted but never really implemented properly. There are minor adjustments before it can be full used. As for mechanical/magic metal eyes still tend to fall under the same category. Steampunk/Techy genre and LoTC still falls under Fantasy. This will be discussed over the lore team before being fully approved. But till then there are many suggestive ideas that have been used for blindness that would not need lore. Sight by sound - If you have not heard of the sightless superhero, Daredevil. I suggest either reading up on him or watching the movie. A great idea to blindness, that specific; generally louder, sound waves create a temporary vision to help give you that small sight range. Rain develops a chance to actually see in a way. Colors not included. Sensitive Sight - If someones heart pumps at a point the is loud, mostly out of high nerves, or being frightened. You get a small sound factor that gives you the idea range of a person. Usually this would work with elves sensitive hearing being enhanced by blindness. Just plain blind - Going with the classic blind fold and wondering the world with touch. Many blind people in the pass walk about with sticks and poke the ground sometimes learning paths by memorization. Spinizir was a good example of this. Alternative for the Metal eye thing - Could be a flunk if the metal wasn't inscribed properly and hide them useless thing with a blindfold and using one of above traits. Just a few ideas passed on that player have used in the past. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ Fiend ~ 611 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 What I've been going with thus far is an idea of her having a photographic memory, but being that she's blind it works by touch and spacial relationships. She also uses a cane, and sound type/proximity memorization. Not quite echolocation, more like that thing Toph from Avatar does, but one piece at a time as she pokes it with a stick. I'd love to get the lore team's opinion(s?) on this to get a final verdict, one way or the other, but... Honestly, I'd be happy to just void the rp. I'm pretty guilty of being one of those wishy-washy people who's like, "Ehhh, if it's a problem I'll just... not.", so if we conclude that the lore's not ready, then hey, the lore's not ready.

Supremacy 3361 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The eye is of cheap materials, but Dormin has crafted small runes on the glass it being actually a thin blanket of copper, which then thickens and becomes connected with the nerves. That's how it works Why is it we have a practicing rune-master and no rune lore? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Aus Shitpost 891 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Why is it we have a practicing rune-master and no rune lore? I will happily poke you here: Doomforged Thread Kathiik lore is on the second post. You can hardly just void this, y'know considering it's been in use since when Tyrion was still an admin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloakedsphere 1471 Share Posted January 31, 2013 They only had prostetics to be some of the best engineered around early 1990 to present. To RP a prostetic limb it better be a damned stick with leather straps that holds it on or else its completely un RP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lago 2572 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think since Tyrion wrote the rune lore they are using and it was accepted by Gaius, they know what they are doing. Dormin (Dirhim) is very likely Auslon's best living smith and the only current runesmith. Don't question it. Mechanical eye is a misinformation. It is a magical eye utilizing Kathiik runes. Then evidentally Gaius didn't read his own approved lore section: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/56757-magic-cannon-part-i-i/ The answer to "Can we have mechanical eyes" lies on how the eye works. The front of the eye is a lens, which is stretched and squashed by muscles to focus light onto the retina, a cluster of light receptors at the back of the eye. She's blind, not suffering from terrible vision, so the problem lies with the retina and the transmission of the image to the brain. Thus, replacing the eye with some sort of mechanical lens (which is beyond our technology anyway) wouldn't fix the blindness. Also, do not confuse a blacksmith with an engineer. Precision engineering is not precision smithing. A magical eye might be a possibility though, and I mean a magical eye rather than a runic creation.

ThanksChris 605 Share Posted January 31, 2013 It is clear from the evidence provided by Lago and Shoi that a mechanical eye is, for roleplay purposes, a technological impossibility. While a magical eye may be feasible, it appears that, in the case described, it is not lore-abiding. Therefor, the roleplay should be voided or altered to an acceptable alternative. Thanks to Shoi and Lago for their part in resolving this query. As there is much left open to question, I'm going to leave this open until either the original poster adds a [Resolved ] tag, or fails to respond for 24 hours. Thank you for your cooperation.

You can hardly just void this, y'know considering it's been in use since when Tyrion was still an admin. This too remains unaccepted by the MAT and I believe voided by countjuno. I still don't see why we have a rune master without a MA running about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldrim 1422 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You guys take this so seriously that it nearly gave me a headache, the roleplay was enjoyable for both parties and it was done quite well in my opinion, but the majority of you seem to nitpick at the smallest things in order to have an argument against this, I'd understand your reasoning if it was heavily impacted on the servers lore, but for christ sake let this poor girl have her goddamn vision restored and just go with the flow for once, it's time to get off your high horses, honestly. This too remains unaccepted by the MAT and I believe voided by countjuno. I still don't see why we have a rune master without a MA running about. If any of my lore is being voided I shall be the one to be contacted and no one else, I'd be happy to reply to any of your concerns if you so wish to discuss the legitimacy of the Doomforged / Kathiik lore, because all I can currently see is antagonizing behaviour from the most of you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ Fiend ~ 611 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Alright, phew. That was a lot of fuss, but I believe I can rest this case with the verdicts handed out by the various powers involved. Rather than try and figure out some middle ground I'm declaring the rp voided, and I'll revert my character back to how she was before this happened. That way, everything's a clean break and there's no loose ends.. and I don't have to argue with anyone. I hate arguing. :c As for Goldrim, I understand how you feel, but try to think objectively for a minute. A lot of people can be harsh with their words, when really all that is is their inner OCD speaking out in defense of what they think is normal, or orderly. They're not antagonizing me, Lago, Shoi, Dorhim, or you, they're trying to find the balance between a crazy hodgepodge of ideas that sprung forth from some combination of all of us, and I'm willing to let the issue be. Since you asked to be informed; the rp has been voided. If this bothers you, I apologize, but I had my reasons for making this decision. The eyes, if they exist, are now back in Doomforge possession and Isabella never went back to speak with those two men on the bridge.
