No this is the exact place to post player cultures About the post: Regarding the OOC purpose section of your post: LOTC actually already has an extensive foundation of 'Afro'-centric lore. The Southeron, who make up a massive portion of the Farfolk lore, are entirely built around sub-saharan cultures. it even has sub groups with their own cultures, like the Khonma and Mengesha tribes, and utilize linguistic roots drawn directly from zulu, xhosa, and swahili For example, the Zailu tribe specifically incorporates a lot of zulu-inspired roleplay and features a coming-of-age scarification ritual very similar to what you’ve outlined here I just wanted to point out that this framework is already deeply established, It might be a great idea to tie your piece into the existing southeron lore rather than starting from scratch, as the server often struggles with redundant and overlapping cultures.

I understand where this is coming from, but it is genuinely going to raise many questions for first-time readers, as you literally are still, by every definition, your original race. You gain the same curses, height, etc., as well as being capable of taking on any transformative CA. This will just turn into stacking two CAs on the same character. You are cursed, not of a completely different race.

The olden Doomforged of little Urguanite history read the parchment handed to him by the beardling. For a moment, he seemed genuinely absorbed. Then, slowly, he lowered the parchment and shook his head. “Ramblin’s o’ old dwed who do naught but complain an’ sleep upon their own ordure.”

The Doomforged are an ancient lineage, born of Urir’s sacrifice, carried by his descendants, and bound thereafter to the inheritance of the Derva, Kal’Asgol, the Stone Tongue, the Law of Flesh, and Dor-mâr, the Doomforge. We are not a clan born from comfort, nor one made by recent claim. Our name is carried by blood, oath and burden. It has been found that many who claimed the name Doomforged through the line of Archimedes possess no true right to that inheritance. After review of the old records and testimony of those who remained of the elder blood, it is declared that Archimedes had no surviving line beyond Mordin, and that Mordin bore no continuation of his own. Therefore, those who claimed descent from Archimedes in later centuries did so falsely, whether through error, deceit, or deliberate parasitism of the Doomforged name. By this finding, the lines of Drakaem, Draakopf, and Charsi are declared illegitimate, along with every branch, child, claimant, marriage, or adopted name that drew authority from the false Archimedean descent. They are not recognized as Doomforged, nor as cadets, cousins, or lost kin. Their blood is rejected, their names are struck, and their claim is ended. The condemned lines are judged guilty of the following crimes: Falsification of ancestry. Usurpation of the Doomforged name. Betrayal of oath. Abandonment of Dormmarian worship. Service to false gods and foreign powers. Weakening of the Doomforged clan. Corruption of the inheritance of the Derva, Kal’Asgol, and Dor-mâr. I. SENTENCE The sentence is culling. Those named by this decree are to be put to death. Those who submit shall be taken for sacrifice. Those who flee shall be hunted. Those who hide shall be found. Any clan, dwarf, or foreigner that shelters, arms, defends, or aids them shall be treated as an enemy of the true Doomforged and judged accordingly. II. CONDEMNATION OF THE MOSSBORN The Clan of Mossborn is likewise condemned for aiding false kin, sheltering corruption, and feeding upon the Doomforged name. They are declared enemies of the Doomforged and are included within the sentence of culling. III. DENIAL OF APPEAL There shall be no appeal, pardon, adoption, renaming, or restoration. The false line is severed in full. No oath sworn after this decree shall cleanse the blood already judged. No title, marriage, clan protection, or foreign shelter shall restore what has been stripped. FINAL DECLARATION By true blood, by the Law of Flesh, and by the command of Dormmar, this decree is sealed. The false line is ended. [!] A small drawing is marked upon the reverse side of each missive, accompanied by a note: "This is how a Doomforged is meant to look. Any deviation marks a false claimant and must be reported to those of true blood." ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ SIGNED, Thraegar Doomforged Clan Father of the Doomforged

"I do niet claim this one" said Thraegar, the Clanfather of the Doomforged.

Hello, Lord of the Craft, gather round, for I have some thoughts to share, thoughts on talking, and maybe also talking about talking, and then the way we talk about talking, and… well, you get the idea. You see, as I roam this forum, I can't help but notice just how much talking is happening here. The sheer volume, the words, the sentences, the paragraphs... Now, I’m not saying talking is bad, but let’s talk about it, shall we? So here’s the thing, people talk about a lot of things here. People talk about talking, they talk about their thoughts on people talking, and then I see people replying with even more talking, and it’s like, wow! Have you ever noticed the beauty of how we talk about these things? but its also so meta. Like, you’re talking, but about talking, and then maybe you’re also listening, but to people who are also talking about talking. If that doesn’t blow your mind, I don’t know what will. And then, there’s this structure to it. You’ve got your long talks, your short talks, your big rants, and your tiny one-liners. I call them “levels of talk” Level one is “I agree” level five is “Here is my entire thesis on why I agree in excruciating detail” and somewhere in between is just the perfect amount of talk, you know? Anyway, I’ll wrap this up because, well, talking can’t go on forever, right? But I do think, as a community, we should celebrate the talk. Talk about talk. Talk to talk. And then, if possible, let’s keep talking about how great talking is, because in the end, aren’t we all just… talking? Zolla, out… but not really, because I’ll be back to talk about talking about talking, very soon!

"That's how diplomacy is done." said Quintus Blackmont, who wasn't even part of the contract signing.

It has become evident that some of these changes were not made for the betterment of the clan, but rather to appear as such, while in truth, they have caused harm. However, with the recent return of many Doomforged and the clan’s complete shift back to their olden ways, it is clear that what is broken must be mended before it breaks any further. In light of recent events, including threats made against the Doomforged by a member of Hefrumm leadership, a general sense of unfriendliness when our clan passed through their village, and the failure to reaffirm our relations when asked, the following actions shall be taken: Nullification of the Gloomwood Alliance The alliance between the Doomforged and Hefrumm, established by the 3rd Snow Maiden in the year 96 SE between Garedyn, the High Chief of Hefrumm at the time, and Haezaiil Doomforged, is hereby nullified. All articles and agreements tied to this alliance are dissolved. Epiphyte Dwarves shall no longer be recognized as Dwarves. The Doomforged will no longer recognize Epiphyte Dwarves as proper Dwarves, and they will no longer be afforded the same standing. Dissolution of the Valley Folk Union The Valley Folk Union, which has neither been utilized nor is expected to be of use, shall be formally dissolved. While this may completely ruin the relations between the Dark Dwarves and the Forest Dwarves, the Doomforged have no interest in continuing an alliance with those who would greet them with threats and follow with empty promises. Should the Forest Dwed wish to mend relations, they may send a letter. Until such time, any previous ties are to be considered completely dissolved. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ SIGNED, Thraegar Doomforged Clanfather of Clan Doomforged
