N O D O G P E O P L E sorry to disappoint but this isn't your personal OC experience sim 2k18

big **** nick is taking us there, post nickfolean dynamite pics

literally dont care if plant people make plant babies, its just absolutely munted that a plant person can make regular ones that's all that needs to be fixed lol

this is basically the most telling part of this situation i dont really care about the existence of bryophites, i have a very lore liberal stance when it comes to what exists but the fact this was supposedly passed without the current LT even knowing it was a thing just leads me to assume negligence and not paying attention to the lore being submitted on multiple counts the fact of the matter is it actually makes no sense at all for this to be possible, it's contradictory to every single lore standard currently in place on the matter of making babies: no other creatures of a similar nature are capable of it and bryophites have absolutely no reason to be an exception to that. this shouldn't be an amendment in any formal sense at all, even, this should be an admission of a mistake on the part of the people who reviewed this piece of lore and allowed something like this to pass

DAE strigae are just witcher vampires?

Where is your Midi-Chlorians lore, George?

It's time you swallowed the truth, downs-facers @Brandles gets oc credit for this one

Below are a set of clarifications and amendments to the Naztherak magic intended to give clarity and detail to a few things that were overlooked in the initial post, as well as add a few needed things to help keep the magic prosperous and stable. Apologies, this is less lore and flavor heavy than other posts, and mostly functional adjustments. This has already been processed through the Naztherak community and has its entire consent. Additions I. The Infernal Climb Artist credit to Peter Mohrbacher. Ambition does not drive only the Princes, but the beasts of their Court as well. It is known that Greater Inferis, Zar’kiel, are not made so great: they are born as lowly as any other, and must bite and claw their way to power in order to rise amongst their discordant kin. It is a rare thing that a Zar’ei live so long as to be able to prove themselves, but when they do manage to, the rewards are resplendent. It is believed that a Zar’ei must consume the fresh essence of fifteen souls, making their life’s purpose one of hunger and excited ambition as they seek out victims to devour. This is not done explicitly through violence, however. It is rather within the toolbelt of the Inferis and their dark master to make business with mortalkind and barter for a chance to feed upon their souls. Contracts and deals are surprisingly common methods of peacefully earning a healthy feeding of essence for the growing Zar’ei. A mortal who agrees and offers their soul up for consumption will end up rather drained for the next elven year as their essence regenerates slowly. With each soul consumed, the Zar'ei does gain a bit of change: their power does not grow, but they do slowly inch outward in stature, their essence and body developing and mutating. Once they fully consume their quarry, they find new strength in their chaotic, Infernal soul: They are able to learn and practice a single sorcery of dark nature, their wretched spirit gaining the potential it once lacked and they also gain a new Malice that affects their personality and their Malflame. Redlines - Once the Zar’ei has eaten enough they and the Prince controlling them may approach a Magic Team member with their proof. If valid, their initial CA may be adjusted to make them Zar’kiel. - Thorough screenshot evidence of each ‘kill’ or 'earning' must be provided. Not just the death emote, but context around it, to give some semblance of validity. - The newly-made Zar’kiel can learn one Dark magic up to T5. Nothing more. This can only take up 1 magic slot. They cannot be made Fjarriauga, Shades, Liches, Wights, Wraiths, or any other sort of new creature. Their Infernal souls are incompatible. They are still afflicted by any sort of physical or mental ailments that learning the magic may induce upon them. II. Severance There come times when a student of an Archprince may prove problematic during their training, and their ambition and dedication come into question. If deemed unfit to continue on their path as a Prince, it takes the combined efforts of two Archprinces to sever their soul from its Infernal ties. This is known simply as Severance, and all that is needed is the ill-fated Naztherak’s soul: present in their body or in some sort of phylactery, it matters not. The Archprinces devour their bond to the Infernal Courts, leaving their collected Maleus dull and grey and their Grimoire just a simple, useless book. This is a punishment reserved only for the most grave of betrayals or the faintest of heart who do not belong on the Prince’s path. Redlines - Necessitates two Archprinces (Naztherak with TA’s and the Zar’akal CA) to complete. - Any player Inferis within the disconnected Naztherak’s court are immediately permanently killed and their apps are denied. - The disconnected Naztherak may never practice the magic again. Archprinces cannot be Severed. III. Naz’kuthun Image credit to WoTC, LLC As masters and rulers of the Inferis, none know their foul hearts and beings as well as the Naztherak themselves. The weavings and chaotic essence of the Infernal Soul is their expertise, and with enough time in their studies a Prince is able to learn how to warp an entire soul into an Infernal one through a dark ritual known as Naz’kuthun. It is simple in practice; a sacred bath is prepared, large enough to contain the entirety of the victim’s body, and then filled with the collected blood and gore of any variety of beasts, monsters, and animalia. The creatures’ lifeblood poured into the bath will alter the resulting Inferis’ appearance accordingly: traits will be inherited in twisted and vile ways, wretched reflections seen within the newborn creature’s form. Once this is accomplished, the Naztherak must submerge the subject within the concoction and then simply add an entire souls’ worth of their Maleus from their Cistern to the bath. It is unclear exactly how painful the transformation is, but the agonizing screams that have been noted as a result speak loud enough for themselves. Once warped, the Inferis is rather drained and an easy target to be bound to a Prince’s Court. Redlines - Becoming an Inferis is irreversible. Any other ‘transformations’ are useless, not functioning with their discordant souls. - A player-character transformed will result in them becoming a Zar’ei and a CA must be posted. - Animals can be transformed this way. - A player-character that becomes a Zar’ei will lose all their magical ability. If they so happen to become a Zar’kiel later on, and happened to know any Dark magics up to T5, they may regain their - use of that single magic. - Having a body is necessary for this. Liches, Darkstalkers, Wraiths are all ineligible. Clarifications 1. Malflame cannot be used in other magics akin to Transfiguration: It cannot be enchanted or bound to anything to any effect. It is lawless and discordant, resistant to the orderly nature attemptedly imbued on it. 2. A Prince is able to ‘steal’ an Inferis from another by simply binding it themselves. This also enables ‘trades’ of the creatures for bartering between Princes. 3. Inferis are in fact able to roam around on their own. If they are killed, they must wait 2 weeks before their spirits manage to recollect themselves. A Zar’ei will lose their ‘progress’ towards ascending to become a Zar’kiel if killed. 4. One must be a Zar’akal to be eligible for a TA.

Never stated the opportunity wouldn't be given, that's the opposite of the intention, actually. Not aiming to just cut ropes and send everyone off, but to instead re-focus.

P.S. : Yes, it would mean you'd have to be made re-eligible for teaching if you had a TA up! P.P.S. : Yes, that's the point for the time being. The intention was never to spread it like herpes.

Totally legitimate concerns/questions posed here. At the moment, I don't feel secure at all in the magic's current playerbase and this is a step in stabilizing so I can better build and establish a functional group that I'm confident will be able to go forward and keep the magic going in the proper spirit I intended once I'm ready to push it out of my hands. As it stands, I departed in the magic's infancy, and never got beyond teaching anybody T2-T3 and developing the roleplay I wanted to with the students which is definitely something I made a mistake in doing. This is also something I wanted to include rather quickly after the magic was posted: the character I played and taught people on already looked this way and I want to chisel that element of RP into stone. As for the 'endgame' dilemma, I don't find it much of a problematic endgame, more of an aesthetic reward to people who commit their characters to the heart and soul of what the magic's about, because that's something I take as a personal philosophy with magic/endgame RP. People should be committed when they step into learning something like this, and not treat magic and endgames like sweets at a candy shop. Hope that's sufficient.

Sorry! Just had to assume it was made by the LT since it was never posted or submitted in a public place and the topic was just edited as so: I'll edit the initial post now.

Intended to replace the LT-approved addition to my lore that enabled uncontrolled connection and teaching among Thallassians, the Drowned will also serve as an almost entirely aesthetic ‘endgame’ to Ketomancy roleplayers who want to commit their character to the magic. The Drowned “You do not drown by falling into the ocean: you drown by staying there.” - Old Craetaein adage Murky is the water the Thallassian treads. Lovers of the sea and all things within it, they yet remain shorefolk: landwalkers in life and spirit. For Nerea, this does not do to see in her prized singers. To give the blessing of the ocean to others, one must embrace it in body, blood, and heart. To truly understand such as she does, one must Drown. Drowning is not death. It is rebirth for those who undertake it, a second chance at a new life as one of the waves. To Drown is to give yourself entirely to Nerea and the sea you serve, and become one with them entirely. In order to do so, a few key things must be accomplished: The Drowner must be an expert Thallassian and have learned all the hymns. The Drowner must be fed the Brine produced by another Drowned. Would-be Drowners are placed in a sarcophagus or some sort of container to hold their entire body and which can be sealed tight to prevent escape. It is usually wrapped in chains or other bindings to help keep the prison secure and to weigh it down. Once the Drowner is laid within for their final rest as a shorewalker, they are closed within and then lowered down by chain into a Mouth. A Mouth is simply the Thallassian’s term for a cavernous, secluded body of water that Nerea has connected to her home in the Black Depths. The descent is quick, and so is death. Drowning is not a peaceful death, however: tumultuous and violent, yet just like the ocean itself it bears resplendent life within. As the saltwater fills their lungs and breath leaves them in choking gasps, Nerea’s tender embrace grips them and they are forever changed by her magic. The coffin is pulled from the deep and dredged onto dry land once more, and so the Drowned emerges into the world. They are christened with a new title reflective of their personage. ‘The Drowned Sentinel’, for example. Changed irrevocably, they gain the complexion of a sunken corpse with a somewhat surreal beauty: pallid flesh and milky eyes forever mark their body along with a shift of their hair colour towards marine tones of green and greyish-blue. Curiously, their hair itself seems to be in a constant state of ethereal drift, shifting and swimming about sluggishly as if it were always underwater. Beyond this, there are three key and distinct boons gained from the Drowning. Drowned are able to breathe underwater. They may still be choked, suffocated, asphyxiated, but water is no longer a hindrance. Drowned’s bodies no longer bear any blood, and instead Brine flows through their veins. They do not need to concentrate on using the Pelagia to turn their blood into Brine. This grants a second, stranger effect to the Drowned: Their mutations induced upon themselves through Anagennos no longer have any duration. Drowned are able to create and implant Pelagia just as Nerea is. They are also able to strip another of their Pelagia by simply unmending the sutures and removing the coral heart. Additionally, two key weaknesses are earned through the transformation. Drowned are susceptible to magics that target impurities and imperfections in the soul. Drowned are susceptible to great harm via radical changes in body temperature. Their watery lifeblood can be frozen or boiled with more ease than a blooded being. Redlines: - Drowned require a CA to play. - Thallassos TA’s necessitate the teacher being Drowned to be valid. They are unable to connect anyone otherwise and cannot be teaching. - Drowned are not any more durable, strong, or even physically weak than they would be otherwise. - Drowned are not undead. Their souls are in a warped state of being induced by Nerea. - Drowned cannot coincide with any other creature types/soul twisting magics. Fjarriauga, Wraiths, Wights, Shades are all examples of this. - Drowned are thusly harmed by Ascended and Clerical magics.

stop stealing skins

This is actually wholly incorrect, though. Mana does not come from the Void-- it doesn't come from anywhere. It is an existent, corporeal part of the world we dwell in and is essentially the building blocks of existence itself: everything is made of mana. Mana is used when spellcasting as the body's fuel for the feats its undergoing, but to say people channel mana or get it from the Void or any other source is wrong.
