based. I love the event so far and the dynamic environment that it has created for The Burg

The Elf, Philosopher in title though at his core he was not wise, but rather his hunger for knowledge and determination to fulfill the great task trumped over all else that lay before him, within his mind. For The Whole was an ocean, and he was just a fish swimming in it, yearning to grow into something larger - perhaps even an island to forever solidify his mark within the always changing tides. And these tides shifted, a sallow-yellow they were, put to work as if they were naught but cogs in a machine of time. Thoughts ran through the elf’s mind, Saevel, his ambitions were not odious but perhaps he would have to be to overcome the obstacles. A great milestone had been reached, and still he sought out more, still he found himself coming back to the same old thing… This was truly a heavenly sign. "We will make history now... you need not ask if I am ready.”

BRO YOU'RE BACK! I still remember you as my favourite newplayer back when I was CT glad to see you back dawg

this has been done before and the results were no.

bro literally just read the magic lore and you'd know you sound ridiculous right now

voidal magic is one of the most underpowered things on this server and anyone with a sword and a brain can beat it.

no. this is terrible. stop this nonsense.

slorbin has become a menace to society

bunger

YAHYA AL-NABEEL, fabled and in all his opulence set his gaze upon the notice as he returned from some sand-riddled expedition... and he did not smile, nor did he laugh, but the man prepared his weaponry to purge such hideous creatures AND get paid for it. "Two birds with one stone..." he simply murmured. And yet the man knew not who to send a letter to.

“Place tablets of slate in the desert with prayers to the God, this will stop your suffering.” Prayers in the Sand Some lost Prince of the Korvassan isle wandered the deserts of Almaris - if one could call such a thing a wander, for he came unto these dunes with deliberation. He walked, hither and thither, stumbling about the vast blankets of sand as barren winds blew in his face. Yet his face was covered by some sickly mask, his robes tattered and revealing, with religious symbols that hung down to prove his piety. Some matter of murmurs left his squabbling lips, and his fingers twitched with pain. Each swathe of sand that splattered against him from the wind felt like a thousand knives piercing his skin - and yet he persisted, turning back was not even a question… failure was not even an option. On his back sat a heavy sack that threatened to fall from his hands with each step he took. But eventually, the qalasheen had found a spot far off the roads and deep within the desert. He emptied out the sack, procuring three different slate tablets, all of which had prayers scrawled onto their surfaces. After securing each one in the sand, he simply bowed down before the site and left. The First: King of Sun and Lord of Earth, Prince of Man and Giver of Birth, See mine hand and hear mine voice, Be mine teacher and guide mine choice, For in the dark I see thou, For in the dark I hear thou, This angel that thou hath bestowed doth not relent, And relent I do not ask it. See me, Free me, And in that dark, ABSOLVE ME. The Second: Great Spirit, Great Prophet, O One Only God THE God, RELIEVE me of my sin, VANQUISH mine impurities, And in turn, PURGE this world of ill-doers. I beseech thee, end mine SUFFERING, And send it to only those worthy of SUFFERING, Those who evade PENITENCE, Those who evade RELIEF, Those who evade your VANQUISH, And those who evade your PURGING. Allow me to carry your weapon, And act as the hand of the God, Allow me to bring SALVATION to this world. The Third: Praise The God who is the creator of creation, Praise The God who is all and the true self, Praise The God who owes us nothing, For we owe ALL to The God. Praise The Prophet who speaks his word, Praise The Angel who grants me blessing, Praise The Man who teaches his law, And Praise The God who owes us nothing, For we owe ALL to The God. Bring us together, and unite us under one foundation, The foundation of the bridge which closes the gap between us. Praise The God who is the creator of creation, Praise The God who is all and the true self, Praise The God who owes us nothing, For we owe ALL to The God.

exactly, the attitude of the general playerbase must be able to handle the conflict.

I'm going to expand on the idea I previously mentioned a few minutes ago on discord. The current state of necromancy, while not perfect, can still be used to create conflict and narrative - and yet, to many players disillusion, it is not. It is at the end of the day up to the players on both sides of a conflict to contribute and build a proper narrative... I will say, this iteration of necromancy does make it increasingly harder to ever accomplish something as mentioned before, and it, combined with other elements (such as meta-gaming and attitudes of player-bases) has led to a stagnation. In my opinion, the combat abilities need to be more versatile and viable; 10 emote draining seems quite ridiculous. Also, the auxiliary components of necromancy (such as plagues and black alchemy) should be made more relevant and be intertwined with the main body of lore, to encourage their use and properly synchronize the lore piece as a whole. An example of this would be to make it so that perhaps a requirement for an important ritual would be that one must take use of other parts of necromancy, perhaps they would have to run a plague event and infect x amount of players to fuel the ritual. This, of course, requires cooperation from the LOTC community as a whole. Also, as UnBaed said, there needs to be more epic antagonist roleplay. I am not sure how we would achieve this, but perhaps it could be made some how so that there is more incentive to create conflict - or just choose players who are WILLING to do such for the sake of the narrative. I might elaborate on this if I think of anything else to say.

uncanny timing between the two of our lore pieces, based.
