  1. Forgive the lack of knowledge here, but has it always been #rp only or could you also have halted someone in #shout prior to this amendment?
  2. Some of the sprite description has sprites referred too as 'she'. It's a bit to much of a copy-paste, dear. 😂 (But seriously, last sentence of yellow, 'the Sprite may shatter that pact, causing to drop into a horrible bout of depression herself')
  3. It was a familiar feeling that the Fawn felt once before. A tugging upon her soul as nature would suddenly fall silent for, but a moment all around her. A breath held in an endless sea of stillness that grasp the crisp air of early spring. A sense of longing soon followed as an ivory mist of a fawn would appear slowly walking pass her. The Lounto responding to such a call as well, giving way to a realization within her mind that caused several tears to form, before gently running down her cheeks. "May Amaethon guide you to peace.." the Fawn would utter, now lulling the songs of nature into a soft, peaceful hymn of mourning.
  4. Lemme add on certain features you failed to place. 'The coping mechanisms will vary, and sometimes become far fetched. You might see one become a soldier of nature. Another slowly losing themselves to the trees themselves. Another forgets how to eat. In the end the mental distress becomes a bonding mechanic. Soul trees will enjoy being near other soul trees, just like a dwarf enjoys another dwarf, an elf another elf. But this too leads to more isolation, for without great effort and support, they will drift from what they once were and lose that part of their identity all together. A soul tree requires a powerful will, or they will be lost to their loved ones.' The current lore forces them to fall into the mentality that is stated in this rewrite. Eventually it is succumbed and all have done this. Countless Treelords over the years have done this, but not once was it stated 'Oh they lack substance. they just an event character.' Many of them are famous and done up and beyond for the Order and nature itself. Sequoia, Ram, Song, Wolf, Shark, Bluejay(always this totem, shush),Trout, Wisteria, Lioness, Lynx, Snow, Wicker I can go on and on. They had that mentality and they did it in their own way when duty was called. The very thought concept you are stating I honestly question if you are apart of the druidism community or not. Because the concept that a treelord doesn't, shouldn't, and/or isn't placing/caring for nature and upholding the balance over all else to a more extreme degree because of their condition quite frankly doesn't make sense. There's even darker paths where some still do it, but in a different way. The very core concept taught of Druidism is upholding the balance and protecting nature. And the endgame creature in your eyes shouldn't have such an obsession or desire to do the very thing that brought them to said point? They are the literal embodiment of the Will of the Aspects. The very first Soul Tree was made because they were dying and wanted to continued living to keep performing their duties on the mortal plane. They felt so dutybound that they gave themselves to nature to become one with it and continue on for eternity. Never has this changed. And never has it been in your own words 'Druidic Event CAs'.
  5. @Rayalia Current Lore: The mind of a soul tree is one of schisms and harsh realities. With the mind split between tree and husk, the struggles of identity are an everyday, nonstop issue. Changes to biology, the loss of sleep that grants dreams, the differences of the body compared to that of flesh, all become influences that can lead to more mental conditions than your stereotypical druid. The coping mechanisms will vary, and sometimes become far fetched. You might see one become a soldier of nature. Another slowly losing themselves to the trees themselves. Another forgets how to eat. In the end the mental distress becomes a bonding mechanic. Soul trees will enjoy being near other soul trees, just like a dwarf enjoys another dwarf, an elf another elf. But this too leads to more isolation, for without great effort and support, they will drift from what they once were and lose that part of their identity all together. A soul tree requires a powerful will, or they will be lost to their loved ones. Rewrite: Over the years they can adjust better to the environment, to cater more towards the balance of the world around them. Engulfed by their obsession with the energy that created them, they work endlessly to protect and preserve it for the sake of their very existence. While not necessarily breaking familial bonds and interest where they previously found comfort, all treelords cope in their own way, many become restless and anxious, prone to being on a constant watch of their surroundings. Others are unable to concentrate and find their minds wandering from place to place, unable to find one topic that offers comfort more than another, leaving them incapable of holding a conversation. Some fall victim to spurts of aggression and anger, no interest in the social world around them, instead preferring trees, plains, and the oceanside over the company of descendants. Perhaps some even find more comfort in residing within druidic groves, among druids rather than other descendants, able to notice easily when one is a druid. How this is written is effectively the same, but more examples are given whereas the current accepted lore did not. And arguably the current lore is more limiting on how Treelords should act and feel around others. If anything, this not only addresses some key points of the mentality, but also gives more variety on what they can do or how to go about their creature. And I will say with reading this description alone, most treelords currently are literally roleplaying what the rewrite states their mentality is. And they are doing it in various ways where it won't be hindered by what is written here. Blood Druidism is the only change I see really that going to effect blood treelords, but then again. That's arguably the nature of blood and Fae colliding in general.
  6. As one that literally has been a part of the Druidism community for years and done so many rewrites/aided in them. While I didn't take part in the making of this one, I will make some things clear since there seems to be a big misunderstanding going on. Treelords are a version of an endgame CA of Druidism. Is it the only option? No, the feats and other paths to take make it pretty diverse on what you want to do. Treelords have always had mentality issues. Even the current lore gives reference to this. They are literal embodies of nature itself. To expect such a dynamic change to a character to turn out completely normal is hilarious at best. And that's not even counting the force mentality changes of all the feats and submagics of Druidism. (Seriously, go read Transcendence. Even treelords can't avoid its effects or pair it with their own). But the main point is that the further you step into Druidism, the more it WILL mess with your perception of reality and mindset of what is important than the rest. There's no ifs, ands, buts about it. As far as the concept changing on what a Treelord is and their creation and what not. That rather falls with how the community feels about it in the end. Aka the treelords. An attempt was made to change it up. Hence why its called a rewrite. Whether it passes or not will fall to the reviewing process.
  7. "Even in the darkest night, When all Hope and Light has faded, Reach forth your hand and there HE will be: For HIS guiding light shall save you.." At the moment of death, darkness would befall the broken paladin. The pain momentary as their vision faded away into nothingness. The blacken abyss was all they could see as the endless depths sought to consume the paladin's soul. Yet a familiar voice echo'd within such darkness. A fluttering of wings soon heard afterwards as Elena's vision was now blinded by the brilliance of such radiating light and warmth. "You are never alone.." The Centurion hovered above the fallen paladin now, her donning armor of pure divinity shimmering with the vibrancy of silver and gold. Wings eternal flutter behind as a gauntlet reaches forth to grasp ahold of Elena's hand to lift her up. Her soul taken to the Eternal Palace where the rest of the fallen have gone. Elena's true calling only just beginning...
  8. The Light of Hope's Release Centuries since the mantle was taken. The path of descension there after a lonely journey for the Wayward Wanderer. Time after time HE would call upon her. Whether as a messenger or deliverer of HIS will, there she was willing to follow. Betrayal being a scar that struck so deep from the past that would stagger the Shield for so long. Yet the current generation seemed to have brought some closure to the tired Elder as she now observed the ones that came and gone. Still…so much needed to be said. Guidance she would give to those that lost all Hope in this world. For that is what she was. The undying Shield. The Guardian that forever stood. The Protector of Innocence. Time however wore the body down. More and more each day came to the realization that she lost her ability to handle fighting foes of any sort. Even sparring or conjuring takes a massive toll. Her time was coming…the book unfinished. Yet one burst of HIS might was all that could unshackle her chains and finally be set free… And thus it was given..Harsh and unforgiving it may seem, but out of love and care of a fallen brother that knew no better… Her words of wisdom are unable to reach him now. Nor the words of comfort towards the life long mate that lost his way. Even her Sister would find not a whisper or sound. Yet the Elder was still content. For She was finally free...Becoming, Andria, Centurion of Guardianship...

  11. Upon the endless nights of deprived sleep, the Elder would toil away within the depths of the library of the Keep. A quiet one kept mostly to themselves as they wrote more thoughts lost to time amongst what the current generation would seem to have missed. The coming of darkness foretold to them weighs heavily upon the Ancient's mind. Sleep only held off for so long before a familiar presence would allow some reprieve that whisk the Former Keeper away into the deep slumber of the dream. It would be some time before the Ancient would stir awake. The calling of their purpose forever pulled at their inner flame while the consciousness would shackle the Elder's soul down from the weight of their broken body that now awakened. For a moment, images of the vision were all they could see. Yet reality would come crashing down, finding themselves in the library again. It was then a bitter laugh would release as the Ancient would slowly rise the stand. The tome was left unfinished as they made their way down to the chancery once more to silently stand guard over the sacred tree for quite some time...
  12. Sorry for taking longer to get to magic apps. I've been dealing with a lot of irl stuff as of late.

  13. The difference between beast CAs and regular descendants comes with several factors. 1. History: While descendants aren't required to care or know their races history or how they came to be, the beast cases however do to get a sense of their mentality, purpose, and why they developed their habits and way they act per the redlines of their own lore. 2. Abilities: Each beast race has unique abilities that descendants never have and to utilize them correctly is to make sure lore is seen and read. While you can argue AI has become more prominent lately, it still is easier for us ST to see with apps that they willingly agreed to the beast race and accepted the responsibility of following lore than playing the game of 'Oh well I never saw that.' This shifting to acknowledgement that the player accepting said responsibility. 3. Strict Do's and Don't's: Fact is, all beast races have limitations on what they can and can't learn. Or what they can and can't do. Versus descendants which arguably have a wide free for all. To ensure safety and lore being followed, forcing people to make apps increases the odds to make sure things like FTBing, attempting to obtain certain magics, and so on don't happen. And considering the beast races are starter CAs(meaning new players can immediately get them), the audience revolving around it needs help getting tailored to what is expected of them and the responsibility of what to do and not. Musin seems to be a big example mentioned to be free of a CA. Yet to do so is to have a new player not see how their mentality is, how their abilities work which as a small creature their dodging ability can be easily powegamed if never read, their pursue of magics and hope of getting only to find out they can't do it at all, their strengths, their lifespans, performing romance, and so on. The redlines of the race restrict them whereas a descendant race doesn't have any of that. Thus the odds of a newer player having lore breaking issues is greater without an app. in place. Of course an argument can be made of people being vigilant and picking up these players to immediately teach them but then that shifts responsibility into unknown people which gives increase possibility of wrong information provided. Or a reliance on other players to actually be around to explain the beast race. All of which can easily be avoided and solved by having an application pointing the new players to a lore page that's always there.
  14. Whispers ushered forth from the depths of the Elder's mind. The ember within their very core igniting a spark of flame not felt in ages. It lulled the ancient's heart as they sat there staring off for some time, having several droplets of ink dripple upon the parchment below from the quill that paused in its scribing. A faded breath soon followed. Shimmering golden hue illuminating the slits of the helm worn as the hooded figure slowly rose. The direction simple enough. The calling pulling the Keeper of Old towards the inner chamber to where they would remain for some time, silently standing steward over the chancery that radiated the Sunlord's warmth within the massive cavern.
  15. An Elder in many rights and ancient tales of old merely observes the realm while the body is bantered and scarred. The tome published catching their eye, allowing several digits to flick through the pages and digest its contents. With the word 'Paladin' catching the Elder's attention, their fixation fell upon what was written. Humor alighting their golden irises before a spark of disappointment soon followed. Words then usher under their breath, reciting the original Creed of the Patron. "It is the will of Xan that all who serve him do so in totality; As such none may raise their blade in service onto any other organization of mortal or immortal origin, nor shall they give service onto any other Aengul nor daemon. Nor shall, in that same thread, any in service to him give reverence, worship, or praise higher onto any other than the Creator. Nor shall any equate Xan, servant of the Divine, onto the same level as the Creator-Of-All. Xan demands service, not worship." Several fingers then rhymingly tap upon the page of the report in question before a deep sigh of annoyance is released. "It appears the current generation left out the importance of WHAT our true purpose is."
  16. Its happened to me as well when I was kid. It hurts. its not fun and it takes a long time to heal. Thus why I find it cringe for 1. people even doing it just to 'test' anyone and everyone. and 2. anyone showing pain accused of being a witch. It doesn't make ******* sense.
  17. Needing to slice an entire palm/hand open just to spook test is just flat cringe.
  18. @Punished_Pup could you please use a different color for the proposed changes within said section?
  19. The freeze is only for lore submissions. Anything culturally made is still fine as long as it follows the current lore.
  20. we dont have Treant CAs and Epiplytes can't use ashwood like that anyway. Like I get the point, but its rather redundant when nothing can even do this.
  21. If people are trying to force others into the mindscapes, report it. The lore is rather clear on how its supposed to be used.
