The way our staff has set up the activity & charter system means splitting up your core playerbase amongst small towns isn’t as viable. If your nation cannot keep a certain % of the playerbase inside it’s area then it faces repercussions.

Think about looking at Celestite weapons again. I think combat enchants are already nerfed in the new transfiguration lore so the way it works might be redundant. Might be cool to see some form of a repair over time effect?

What the **** is Azhl

Yeah Aos & Eos have been canon for a very very long time. It wasn’t flavour text. This was the roleplay thousands took part in over the years. When we RPed in Asulon that was Eos. There we met the Kharajyr & Mori’Quessir. Anthos was also Eos and that is where we met the Bohra. That section that you quoted doesn’t mean those were the only races native to Eos. It’s commonly agreed that any descendant culture introduced in Eos was due to them finding their own way over from Aos rather than all of the descendants arriving at the same time after Asulon.

I’d like to see your Veil section changed a bit (i will read the rest but this part applies to my future lore): The Veil isn’t a totally barren plane. Celestials exist within the veil. Voidal Horrors do not exist within the Veil. They instead swoop in like predator birds, plucking celestials from their haven.

Hear me out then- Work to offer up a CA variant that allows your to expand on the weaknesses as well as certain abilities? Azdromoth makes Azdrazi. What is stopping Wyvrun? Or something similar if you get my meaning.

So you use “the world altar” in the lore but there are virtually no consequences. Insane by 600? That’s just getting old (most elves are pretty insane by then) and that would take 10+ IRL years They may not have changed into half-beasts via the world altar but the effects should remain the same. Mental deficiency should be a cornerstone for sundered elves from start to finish. Was hoping you’d be bringing back some other physical effects too but I understand. In your cultural section you cold have elaborated on unique smithing techniques, and ways that these aren’t just a replica of high elven culture. I also think it’s a missed opportunity to not bring up the crazed snow elf event-line in Anthos. It was our very first interaction with the snow elves, despite them being no where near what we see now. An idea to wrap up my critique is that a percentage of children born would have drastically different traits as if they were an actual sub-species so that your culture has a similar relationship that orc-goblin-olog culture has. I just think snow elves are too close to high elves to be able to survive longterm. They need something more.

I don’t play Azdrazi. Y’all are getting way too defensive about your horns. This is a public lore thread on the forums. Expect people to critique with the intention of helpIng rather than just giving you attitude on your lore because they feel like it. Azdrazi are playing a role in the server events right now so it isn’t weird that I brought them up here. You will get mistaken as them but Malaise isn’t worried about it so that is that. No big dealio.

mali’fenn ARE mali’aheral. It’s a culture plus cosmetic changes. That doesn’t need a thread nor is it relevant to this discussion. Don’t mistake my critique as me saying orcs shouldn’t have horns. I am well aware that they have existed for years. Orc Horns are cool. You are right though. It’s really a discussion between Azdrazi and this piece. @Malaise thoughts?

I figured azdrazi horns were scaly & draconic looking. The first picture in this lore looks less like goat horns and more like draconic horns so I thought adding in some way to differentiate from Azdrazi horns would be necessary. I guess the vagueness of what qualifies as draconic type horns is a problem as well.

it’s a legit critique. If you have orcs with the same type of horns as azdrazi it’s weird.

Considering how stingy our ST can be on spells & their capabilities it is strange that only 1 person is discussing how imbalanced this spell set seems to be. Especially the minionmancy part. (but the concept is fire. Your writing is fun to read)

sure but not draconian looking horns.

It steps on the Azdrazi aesthetic a bit. Maybe clarify that dragon-azdrazi type horns are a no-no?

i love comic sans. Thank you for changing it. I’ll read and edit this comment with actual feedback after I sleep!

Can’t read any of this font on mobile devices.

Unsound mages are linked to Voidal Horrors. Celestialists are linked to Celestials. Celestials & Horrors are Prey & Predator so the too should not be compatible.

You’d think after 8 years that Haelun’or would get a spot regardless. I wonder if other “non-core racial nations” feel similarly.
