Move to Accepted Lore for the next stage. Please hold use till Implemented.

After Lore Team has discussed this lore, we have deemed it worthy of acceptance. However, do keep in mind that this will only be used as a recreational drug or a minor poison if used in large doses, not a lethal extract that can be weaponized as I've already seen discussed.

I'm moving this to accepted. As has been said, this martial arts style was developed in roleplay a while ago, and thus the Lore Team does not have power to dictate its fate due to the lack of any lore breaking content anywhere. If anything odd or out of the ordinary arises from this style, the GMs will be the ones to deal with it accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me or any other LM and we will do our best to answer you to the best of our ability.

Alright so it turns out this was never reviewed after all, so I guess I'm here to give the final word. This Lore is accepted, I must say reading it was a pleasure and I do applaud your writing talent, so congratulations to you in that regard! However, to prevent confusion, I must clarify a point pertaining to the most controversial aspect of this lore; the Chimera and Homunculi, and perhaps even the "Local Myths and Legends" bit as well. As is literally stated in the title of section five, both of the creatures as well as the myths ARE just that; myth. They certainly exist in LotC, but only as much as Unicorns do in real life. This isn't to say that an "Elixir of Life" or a "Chimera" will never make an appearance on the server, but they must have separate lore specifically for them and that too must be accepted. I'm sure you know this Ithric as you have already created a separate lore thread for the Homunculi and Chimera, but this clarification is more for the various Alchemists who are already RPing such things. To be more specific, sections 1, 2 and 3 of this lore are fully accepted, while sections 4 and 5 are accepted as myth. If you or anyone else has any questions or concerns, as always feel free to PM me or any other LM and we will do our best to clarify to the best of our abilities.

Over a year has passed since the mysterious messages transcribed by the mages of the world were decoded ((Prior thread)), and the wonder of their meanings has all but dissipated. Now, when all has supposedly settled, another state of possession has suddenly taken over the minds and actions of magic users, their eyes once again glowing, as they write yet another message for the people of Anthos to discover. While everyone races to understand the meaning of the third message, the magic adepts theorize a source, and perhaps the possibility of coming together to triangulate it... {t, t:ªô ñ.t:c .ø,} [. ‘n, £,.ªº ƒª,, t, di:nôƒ‘iô ‘ƒ t, .düºº ƒª‘ñ t, ,ü,º ‘ƒ t, ö.ª£º] [:£ :º .º :£ û.º] [t, i:øe£ .nô i:øe£º .nô i:øe£:æ ‘ƒ t,:ª êª:n,º ƒª,, t,:ª º:øe£| t.£ t,ü ñ.ü di:nô ‘t,ªº] [û.ª .nô ô:º“n:‘n .ø.:n º“øø,º£º :£º,iƒ| .nô t, i:n, :º ñ.ô, .º .n “nc‘“n£.di, º,ª:,º ‘ƒ ö‘:n£º| .ii :n c‘nƒi:c£ û:t t,:ª ƒ,ii‘ûº] [.ii û:,iô:æ t,:ª i.û] OOC: For those who don't know, this is the third message in a series, and there are a few more to come, so be sure to keep watch on this thread! The next few will not take so long to release, I assure you. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I advise taking a look at the thread linked in the opening paragraph, but if you missed it here it is again! A Wave Across the Void

THREAD UPDATED: RP Edit 1: Unsuspectingly, while the denizens of Anthos work to understand the mystery of the message that had only recently been written by the various magic users across the lands, another wave sweeps across the region. Entering a similar state as before, mages and druids and shamans alike begin transcribing yet another message in the same code as the prior. Prepared this time, the onlookers prepare to decipher whatever comes from this ominous new message. {t, º,c‘nô ñ.t:c .ø,} [t, ƒª.c£:‘nº ‘ƒ t.£ ûe:ç :º e, .ª, d.ªª,ô ƒª‘ñ ,n£ªü] [t, ‘t,ªº e.u, t,:ª ô,u:c,º ‘ƒ û.ª .nô ô:º“n:‘n| ô,ƒ:n:æ t,ñ .º ûe.£ t,ü .iû.üº e.u, d,,n| t, c.ª,£.§,ªº ‘ƒ t,:ª ƒ.£,] [t,ü ê‘“£ .nô öi,.ô .nô ‘ƒƒ,ª t,:ª u‘:c,º £‘ t, e,.u,nº| d“£ t,ü .ª, .º t, ô,,ö c.u,º d,øø:æ ƒ‘ª º“ni:øe£] [t, û.ü :º ê“£]

((As of now, nothing, you'll have to wait and see when the next post comes around ;) ))

Across Anthos, the newly established inhabitants go about their daily businesses. Seen through the magical lense of the void, Anthos is relatively uniformly encased in magical energy, save for the walking beacons of the mages and the magically gifted. But this day, something occurs. Around a single unknown point a tidal wave of pure arcane energy is released, growing stronger only as it gets farther. It passes through forests, deserts, plains, seas and mountains, and the common ungifted person feels nothing but a slight instant of coldness or an astounding feeling of suddenly being watched. But to the magical people of the world - wizards, shamans, druids and all others - it collides with their minds without passing through, directing the flow of the sea of magical energy into them. Throughout Anthos the eyes of the magical mortals glow, and to the confusion and terror of their ungifted fellows they begin to shout and chant in an unrecognized tongue. They walk as if possessed, and take themselves to the nearest form of writing they have access to: mages are taken to their studies and open a series of clean scrolls; druids command the moss before them to form into letters and words; shamans do elaborate frenzied dances in the sands to leave the imprints of a strange alphabet. And when all are done, the glow in their eyes dissipates and the magical people of Anthos return to their senses, unaware of what they have just done. But before them, in some manner or another, is a message written by themselves: {t, ƒ:ªº£ ñ.t:c .ø,} [t.£ ûe:ç :º e, ñ.ô, ñ.nü| ƒ'ª t, u':ô .nô t, ,ñö£:n,ºº d,i'û t, u':ô û,ª, e:º £' c'ññ.nô] [t,ü û,ª, ô"º£ .nô e, û.º .º . º"nd,.ñ| ô,ƒ:n:nø .£ i.º£ t,:ª ê.ö,] [.º û.º d,ƒ'ª,| t.£ ûe:ç :º e, ñ.ô, .ø.:n| û:t t, º'ªª'û 'ƒ º"ni:øe£ ª,ñ.:n:nø "n£ª,.£,ô .nô "nû,ic'ñ, £' t, ô,,ö c"ªª,n£º 'ƒ t, º,.] [º"ç ô:ª,c£:'ni,ººn,ºº :º .n.t,ñ. £' e:ñ| ûe' :º i:n,.ª] [t,º, .ª, £' d, E:º £ª:"ñöeº .nô E:º ƒ.:i:nøº| ñ.nü £:ñ,º 'u,ª] ((Click here for the decryption)) RP Edit: Unsuspectingly, while the denizens of Anthos work to understand the mystery of the message that had only recently been written by the various magic users across the lands, another wave sweeps across the region.

If I follow around a wild Mogroka, learn to live in the deadly human environment until they accept me as one of their own (extremely difficult), then I kill the Mogroka and perform the Ritual of Change, can I shapeshift into a Mogroka? :D
