As lost as she often was, Grimhildr found her way in the end. It was saddening to have left her family first, but with a perspective of eternity she was fine to wait. Under some shady celestial tree she rested, writing poems and songs. How happy she was to finally share them, how happy she was to embrace her husband as she had so many times before in life. Two warriors who took comfort in each other from horrors of life could now enjoy a perfect peace.

Still reading but the 24 week pk time is pretty glaring to me. I don't see why it should be changed from the original. Edit: Honestly this looks pretty good and straightforward to me. I feel like this gives more options for a blood mage to rp on their own and still maintain the inherent need for a coven. For the bad I do think the 24 week PK time, assuming it does not start after reaching tier 5 which seems to be the case in the comments, but I did not ascertain in the lore itself. I also think the rite of commutation is unneeded and harms the overall need for blood mages to need other blood mages, I think the blood shard and the rolls available for tiers is more than enough. I would also like to see the rune effects of runescribing described as I think it is necessary to prevent powergaming and lend to the idea of specific use whether it be for malintent or good. I would also like to see something like call calamity and engorge return as I think it did add to the rp side of blood magic even if the uses were limited. Maybe even something like the siliti communication mirrors as I think things like that builds on blood magic's inherent need for community.

"Sometimes I wonder if people's only hobby is crusading", Grimhildr wondered allowed while dining with her family,"and not even crusading on worzy t'ings like harboring dark spawn or child murderers!"

"I swear to Gott if t'ese fuckers accuse me of shit", Grimhildr grumbled as she began polishing up a suit of armor that had not been worn in some years

"I wonder if they will actually leave them in peace if they succeed the test", Grimhildr grumbled

"He was just a boy... Such a good one", Grimhildr murmured upon hearing the news. She silently wept at the table of her modest home while memories of battles past and friends lost assaulted her mind along with the burning question of what it all mattered.

"Is his face just a magnet for fists?", Grimhildr remarked with scrunched brows upon reading the poster

"He certainly deserves it...", Grimhildr mumbled when she heard the news. She then got up to take care of her wife.

Snip

Grimhildr decides to make a visit

Ngl I've heard than a few players of various genders ooc complain about how their human female characters were basically used to pop out heirs then were ignored

Grimhildr thinks back on her old friends, the first friends she had on Almaris. To this day she wonders how different things would have been if she weren't so impulsive.

Grimhildr is proud of her not-grandchildren. She then remembers she is not even fourty

Grimhildr feels a strange urge to bring rum to her uncle

Grimhildr sighed from her reclusive cabin as she read over the notice. She gave a hum and began hauling out her armor to polish up.

"I'll be damned. They actually did it", Grimhildr remarked before taking a sip of her ale

Most of these are by no means end all be all cures. They are for the most part stop gaps designed for field medic rp or to make surgery rp more interesting. If you'll note none of these potions actually accelerate healing save the poultice. I should also clarify organ mender is an already existing potion that heals damaged organs, my potion only stabilizes internal injuries for potential further care.

Grimhildr is proud of her not-son

Grimhildr is proud of her not-son

My blood mage has a son that needs playing. Can send details if interested

I cannot get friends I made on other servers to join because of Lotc's reputation with racism and biased staff.

I'm saying that using irl slurs ig is bad and to be honest I do not care about blanket bans on all potential ic slurs relating to skin color, just that if we know a word is a slur we should really get it the **** out of LoTC's lexicon. I added in a bit of context surrounding those words to back up them being racist and how the introduction of these words most assuredly came from a racist place. In this thread I also think people are either demeaning the power of slurs or just don't understood in how it affects people whom the slur is used against. A slur isn't just an insult, it's an insult rooted in violence. Using myself as an example, someone calling me a ***** is very different than calling me a ******. If someone calls me a ***** I'm just going to be annoyed and think someone needs to go touch some grass. If someone calls me a ****** then I am genuinely going to be concerned for my safety. These type of words are easily identified, people who just don't know can be educated, and more importantly slurs just do not belong on lotc for any reason. This is not complicated and people need to stop acting like not using slurs is such a hard thing to do. Edit since filters is on: one was a word for a female dog and the other a slur against gay people

You might want to rethink your point of view. This isn't a problem of tough to swallow content this a problem of lotc's history with racism. The people from that time knew what they were doing calling dark elves an IRL slur and they knew what they were doing specifically targeting dark elves. It was never about the fantasy racism.
