  1. So why was I cited as a source of information about Ents in some human monster-hunter manual? Not complaining, just intrigued.

      We did in depth research for all of these creatures, actively found as many IRP books in the libraries around the world to source every scrap of information we found.  Legit we started from scratch on all our monster knowledge, and actively cited sources for everything, I'm willing to bet you probably wrote something down in the past, or were cited in a past book that we in turn cited now.

      Thank you, it was a bit of a passion-project by Zhulik specifically, he did 90% of the work for it.

  3. This was a good read and excellently written, however it's also completely plagiarized from Witcher 3: Blood and Wine. I know you guys are capable of creating something good and original, why copy other works? Beyond even that, as has been said before, these creatures are all but identical to ones already present on the server. Frost witches: cannibals, intelligent monsters, human appearance, even a cold touch. Wraiths: completely unkillable, regenerates even when they are 'killed', extremely powerful, capable of disguising in a somewhat humanoid form. And the rarely played Blood Imps, which is LotCs other vampire creature that actually had original lore. But basically these things are Witcher-flavored Wraiths in a Frost Witch's body. As for the lore itself, there are some other issues. The completely unkillable thing, for one. That's actually not too bad, there are other 'unkillable' monsters on the server, though there's usually at least some way to PK them. (Liches, for example, are unkillable unless you have their phylactery. I'm not sure if there's been new lore on how to PK a wraith but there is at least one method I'm aware of.) You'll need to elaborate on how it works when put into practice on the server, however. You say 'with enough time' but you need to elaborate what that means. You'll also need to elaborate on how this works with the memory loss rule. And finally, as ironic as it sounds, you're going to have problems with all of these weaknesses. Those who have experience playing monsters/evil characters can attest, everyone has everything necessary to kill you. Everyone already carries around gold swords, and if this is accepted everyone will be sudden experts on their strengths and weaknesses, how to spot one, and the blood hound population will increase magically overnight. On paper, these creatures are a little on the OP side. In game, the result will probably be very different, unless you powergame (and the 'super strength' will give a lot of room for powergaming). This isn't really a criticism of the lore, just something that will be interesting to hear about if this gets accepted. TLDR: Good writing but please make something more original than a carbon copy of Witcher vampires that also have too many similarities to other creatures on LotC, also clarify how their death and regeneration would work mechanically in game.

      Really cutesy and fancy. Even for all the missin' buggers. 

      Can we shoot everything left of the Aspects with a ballista and call it a day?

      I'm going to make all the aengudaemons, don't worry. That's why this is only a WIP. And Iblees is not going to be female.

      @Emu Templar Tentacles Cerridwen and Cernunnos are actually based on the IRL pagan deities. And... yeah, Nemiisae is basically a cross between Lolth and Eliistrae.

      @Kimbap You're a goddess now!

      Third time's the charm with this comment. This is sorted from most active to least, but the following are shelfed characters so they're really inactive. However, all three Elves are my oldest characters, heh.

  11. What would you do if you woke up in the world of LotC? Assuming you are your real self, not your character, you have the knowledge you have IRL (so much meta) and your character still exists somewhere in the world.

  12. Username: Birdwhisperer Group: Frost Witches By applying, you agree you were elected through a fair system?: Yes
  13. I agree this has the potential to go badly, but I also think you'll get out of it what you put into it. If you just log off or troll, it won't be fun. If you try to RP through it, however, I think this event will have great potential.

  14. This is what happens when you don't listen to the Aspects of Nature about the end times!
