I have been on several staff teams including magic and lore and I know that it takes for ******* ever to reach verdicts sometimes because volunteers just don’t read what they vote on. This magic rework has taken way too long but I am confident that it could be beneficial. I suggest doing away with the “lore games” and instead follow the “May Magic Update Plan” Week 1&2: Solidify what infomation a magic needs in order to be viable and release it to the community. Week 3: Release which magics need the most work in a tier based system and then start a your view for each magic. Community should get a final say before teams are formed to tackle each lore piece WITH the assistance of the staff. Weeks 4+: Submit drafts to community. Let them have a say. Not sure why this “lore games” are happening and why player lore is being held hostage when the team that was supposed to deal with it have been saying “soon” since last year. I personally have asked monthly about updates, magic information, release dates, feedback, and while I have gotten a few answers I haven’t been given anything that would suggest I can actually proceed eith a rewrite. I know I am personally not going to rewrite my magic lore just to have to re-rewrite it after the information is finally released to us. TLDR; Quit stalling and give the writers the information they need. No need for games. Just the concise new ruleset.

Heya! Because this is sort of close close to the D&D race “Dragonkin” I recommend reading up on all that lore. THEN I recommend choosing some key attributes to move away from to make them unique. THEN you need to ask yourself “What is their role on LoTC? What niche can they fill that is not already covered? What abilities can they offer a team of adventurers? What weaknesses make it so they want to roleplay with others to fill them? Etc...” You want to write something that will stand up against the test of time and draw in interest. I recommend using linterest to gather an assembly of artwork that inspires you and shouts “DRAGONKIN” at you. Build your lore with the idea that aesthetics matter because they do & players notice when something is aesthetically pleasing. Good luck!

A dynamically fuller world > lore bloat Idk how I feel about it but the lore bloat argument is garbage. Lotc changes, grows and circumvents stagnation. It isn’t lore bloat. It is finding new & fresh ways to RP around what we already have.

I am not a fan of them having “human conversation” with celestials. In very special circumstances sure but the idea that they walk around creating dialouge with them is too strange to me.

You could draw a comic of Iatrilemar finally meeting his daughter; *tears* “D-dad? Is that you pa-pa?” *hugs* ”Ehhhhh-No...?” *slips out of hug* *walks away* *more tears*

The shield spell is overpowered.

Encouraging players to RP in order to influence the outcomes of events! I like the concept, the effects, and the boon it could bring to RP! Bravo Dem. This was a lovely read.

Mani Summoning reminds me of the Vikings having huge sacrifical prties for their Nordic gods. Since LOTC already has the precendent of godly interaction it makes sense that you can attempt to contact them (not even “gods”). This is player driven story content & it is what we should be investing our energy instead of waiting for ET world events to tell us what to do. Players need tools to interact with and change the world they rp in. Idk why there is so much hate here. It is just a post clarifying how a culture, religion, and aspectal realm (which were all built up and slowy defined ACTUALLY IG) may be carried out. It is giving another tool to the ET & LT that play them. This is LOTC where magical things occur. Get out of here with your messy medieval hyper realism roleplay. This has nothing to do with the orcs and isn’t some buff for war. Just so much salt.

Let it be known that on the 15th of the Deep Cold, 1678, the Order of Magic has been formed. It was a tepid day in Haelunor as the delegates of the three magical guilds of Atlas, The Enchantry, The Mages Guild, and the Celestial Order, arrived at a plum capped guild hall in the care of the Enchantry. Once gathered, the leaders found themselves sitting in a large chamber of alabaster and mortar with towering windows of green, blue, and white as their host addressed them and made clear the purpose of their meeting. They were to collaborate and form a magical order with the singular goal of defeating the September Prince. Each delegate began posing questions and some even gave terms, but by the end of the meeting it was clear that the Order of Magic would be created, and its ranks were to be filled with master mages wishing to work together to defeat this monstrous evil. Let it be known henceforth that throughout the lands of Atlas the Order of Magic has been formed, and we shall take in and train any and all void mages wishing to combat the September Prince in an effective, organized fashion. The people of Atlas should not live in fear and suffer such a threat, and it is our intention to help ensure that the Prince is vanquished as quickly as possible through unity and assisting besieged nations. Additionally, upon the triumphant defeat of the Prince, the Order will be disbanded. If you wish to join this initiative, report to the Enchantry’s guild hall within Haelunor or send a bird to one of the three Triarchs listed below -Order’s Triarchy- The Triarchy comprises the three leaders of the Order of Magic, each the leader of one of the great magical guilds that took part in the Order’s creation. They manage the Order, come up with strategies, organize training of mages, and otherwise ensure the smooth running and success of the organization. The current Triarchy consists of: Triarch Sarrion Zytiaear of the Enchantry Triarch Eliza of the Mages Guild Triarch Iatrilemar Elervathar of the Celestial Order -Magus- A magus of the Order of Magic is any mage who has mastered at least one voidal magic. They are the backbone of the Order, and it is they who typically make up the front lines against the Prince. They also help to instruct the novices on how to better their own magics. -Novice- A novice of the Order of Magic is any mage who knows magic, sometimes multiple, but is not a master of any of them. These mages make up the reserves of the Order, and they are commonly asked to help circle and assist the Magus’s. -Vanguard- The Vanguard are a special non-magical component to the Order. Their job is to protect the mages of the Order while they cast, and they are specially equipped with enchanted weapons created by the Order’s mages. -Artificer- This is a special rank for those who are skilled in Transfiguration and wish assist the Order in creating weapons and devices to be used against the Prince. Dark mages and creatures are strictly prohibited =Application= MC Name: RP Name: Discord: Highest Magic Tier (If applicable): Magic Guild (if any): Do you have any experience in a military?:
