  1. The Heir of Quthartis felt a grim frown stretch across his maw, cold and clammy digits coiling then about the haft of that graven shovel - the blade slipped soil, the hole dug further. Bound just contrarywise was the ebrietael strands of essence, the wailing of tormented souls reaching his ears... and another voice joined their song. His gaze fell to the earth, to the shallow grave he'd dug for a fleeting friend. A lead coin was held in his palm - heavy, like the burden 'pon the shoulders of a weary man. "I will remember your name, brave one... May the Shore keep ye, when this life could not." The coin fell, soon being buried beneath the earth. The wheel turned.
  2. A Paladin does a double take at the title of the treatise.
  3. I love the taste of snow elf in the morning.

  4. Imagine what you could do if you wrote actual lore instead of shitposts, shorsand...
  5. “You wish for atrocity - This, I shall grant.” - The Lady Tarathiel to the An-Gho upon the fall of Sunbreak, scorched in dragonfire. A flame burned in the East, twenty years past its due. The Sun yet shone. Holy servants - resting on laurels earned, yet unprepared for the foe they had angered. A Fire of Regret, kindled long ago. The Sun yet shone. The sky went dark. The stars died. The earth quaked in fear and trembling at the coming of Him. The Sun yet shone. Bulwark shattered, stone and mortar rent asunder in the wrath of the Titan. Blood was drawn, and blood was spilled. Faith wavered. The Sun yet shone. Sunbreak hath fallen - and in the Knights of Order was the fire of wrath invoked. What was lost shall be regained, through blood, fire and darkness. Faith would be reforged in the flames of warfare, and tempered by the madness that dwelt in mortal veins. And yet… The Sun began to set.
  6. A Leal Wyrmstalker was given extreme whiplash from the veritable parkour of the Ferrymen! Truly, the most mobile army.
  7. Incredibly impressed with the amount of effort and care put into this eventsite. Good on you lads.
  8. It's cute. Damn shame it gets auto-shot by embargo for being Llahir magic. It'd probs be fine if you just made it part of housemagery tho ngl. Would at least make it to mag that way.
  9. thats for Unbound Fates that's a ritual to send people to an afterlife and cleanse their souls of taint so they can not get sent to super-hell by Aeriel not me taking black cat's soul to power a glowing rock. Dx
  10. Dude I was gone for a week what the **** happened
  11. No that was Pund's excuse for why he didn't want Haskir's soul in his Wight's apparition kek.
  12. It's something we see with Klones a lot at the current moment, and I am inclined to disagree with you here. If these were meant to be common structures, perhaps, but Wight phylacteries tend to represent a cumulative 4+ months of effort on the player's part, to say nothing of the effort of the unified Synod in their ascension to Wightdom. While it may be a hassle, we also saw what happened with Soul Trees the moment the Arcana Flow vulnerability was included - and any tree with an open sign was immediately targeted for destruction. Players target things with the shiny green sign regardless of whether or not they should know what it is IRPly, and I think making someone go through a modicum of effort to PK a creature such as a Wight is more than fair.
  13. A Leal Wyrmstalker of the Lion's Pride lofted a brow as such a missive landed upon her threshold - tender digits unfurling enscrolled parchment to glimpse the contents that lay within. A frown tugged at her lips at the news of a Brother's passing, but soon a tepid smile stretched across her lips. "A new flame burns - and so the younger folk of Sunlight aim to forge their own legends. I shall be watching these few with great interest..."
  14. I've been wanting to expand the allowed aesthetics of Mysticism for some time. If you believe it'll fit in this amendment, I can certainly go ahead and do so! Edit: Change lumped into the submission.
  15. “Cold be hand and heart and bone, And cold be sleep beneath the stone; Nevermore to wake on stony bed, ‘Til the sun should fall and the moon lay dead. In black wind the stars shall die, And still on gold here let them lie, ‘Til Living Synod rests its gaze, O’er barren land and withered haze…” ♫♫♫ Rite of Consumption & Wight Changes The following shall be added to “Rite of Consumption.” The following redlines shall be added to Wights, and their affiliated flavor text in the lore changed to reflect these changes. Reasoning: Before these changes, Wight phylacteries lacked any method of tracking whatsoever, being player-signed structures that no one could feasibly keep tabs on if foul play occurred. This way, all phylacteries are on record and marked down for documentation. As well, Wights needed a small tweak to make demanifestation far more damning, and to put a limit on the effectiveness of Invoking a Wight. As well, there have been numerous complaints of Apparitions forced to be undergamed by event staff when Mystics have sought out Wightdom, due to the incredibly strong nature of these creatures. The events experienced by the community thus far however have typically been seen as difficult, so this change was targeted towards maintaining the status quo and alleviating pressure from the ET to try and get these creatures perfectly right in terms of their combative abilities. Having played an Apparition myself, I can attest to the difficulty of truly getting into the mindset of these colossal titans. Soul Harvesting & Menhir Mechanics The following shall be added to “Rite of Hindering,” within the paragraphs and redlines pertaining to Menhirs. The following shall be removed and changed from that same section. The current “Rite of Scavenging” shall be removed, and its mechanics incorporated into the “Saturation” liturgy and additional redlines added, as follows. Replacing Rite of Scavenging, the following spell shall take its place in the Mysticism ‘Sacraments of Pale’ roster - dubbed “Rite of Harvest.” Reasoning: By and large, simply fixing up a lot of what was broken upon prior amendments to the lore, quality of life tweaks, and replacing Scavenging’s spot on the roster with something that lends well to genuine engagement with other individuals in roleplay while keeping true to the core themes and identity of Mysticism. As well, I am attempting to curb the issue of lore-mandated murder hoboing when it comes to soul mechanics, given prior issues. Hexing Changes Rite of Hexing Timegeist shall be moved to “Minor Hexes.” Flamegeist shall be moved to “Major Hexes.” Cagegeist shall be removed. The category of “Major Hexes” shall be reorganized as follows. The following shall be added to “Minor Hexes.” The following redlines shall be added to Rite of Hexing, or changed if italicized Reasoning: Hexes, while originally intended as curses to put on trinkets to ruin the lives of those afflicted, have proven to be incredibly combatively powerful and beyond reproach by many folks, given their vagueness and potential for abuse. This amendment seeks to fix this by bringing the combative hexes to heel, while not impacting the efficacy and intent of non-combative hexes, and instead expanding upon their potential uses. Spell Tweaks The following redline shall be added to the spell “Diminish.” The following redline shall be added to the spell “Expulsion.” Reasoning: Things that should be there but were removed during Edit-mageddon for some odd reason. Just making sure they’re noted down so no issues are present. Gleaming Changes Gleaming, the casting tell of Mysticism, shall be changed to allow for gentler aesthetics that are not as glaringly evil, allowing for aesthetic freedoms on an individual level.

  16. The Leal Shrike came upon such scrawlings on ebonstone, scribed in the unhallowed diction of the damned - and she pondered on it for a great deal of time, well used to the burning, howling scripture which it was written in. It joined her library that night. Perhaps she would issue a response, in due time.
  17. Tarathiel Asul'onn adds this book to her library. Good cookbooks are hard to come by, after all.
  18. I HEREBY DECREE THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL, @Polysemic, IS CANCELLED FOR EGREGIOUS SPOUTING OF SLURS BEYOND REPROACH BY THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ON AN LOTC PLATFORM

    SWA - ACT I

    This took so long to come out that I had time to get my life together.
  20. Reminds me of when I got cancelled for trying to warn folks about something similar. Fun times.
  21. A Shepherd of Lost Souls trudged his way forth through the Orenian countryside - a lead coin wreathed in ghastly gloam flipped in his hands as he marched. Soon, some forlorn hum left the darkness of his helm, and as one the collective voices uttered henceforth; "Toss a coin to your Hexer, o' Valley of Plenty..."
