I'd appreciate if we stopped trying to deny things because they resemble other things as if every piece of lore on this server has to be a beacon of standalone originality which bares no similarities with anything else in this world.

Trade Completed.

I'd consider it a little hypocritical for the LT to not accept this lore on account of it being heavily based on something from the witcher, because they themselves are known to do something similar with something that rhymes with Bark Shoals. In any case, I think this lore has the concept to be interesting, provided these super powerful creatures don't rambo into major city centres with the intent of causing as much mayhem as possible, hate it when special snowflake creature RP amounts to nothing but a glorified boss fight without any lead up. Put into the hands of the right RPers I'll give this one my support.

Blacklist extended to July 31st for participating in a raid.

+1. I'm down for making shapeshifting more easily accessible. Everyone knows about it OOCly, and shedding all the super-exclusivity would make RPing it more fun. Also, why couldn't we transform into sea and air animals sooner?

Please don't comment unless you have a legitimate question or something meaningful to add, thank you.

Mcname(s): cakefool Why he/she is blacklisted: Running from RP with no countdown nor OOC agreement and shooting at his pursuers. Second offense of this nature. Conditions of blacklist (temporary, permanent, until appeal, etc.): 1 month.

Don't make a character for the sole purpose of being a villain. Make a character who has a distinct personality, motivation and goals and let him then develop organically. Making a character for the sole purpose of being a villain often leads to one-dimensional boring-ness.

Magics don't need to be big and grandiose to exist, and nothing like contract magic currently exists really, so its not like it's going to be imposing on any other magics 'thing' like a nature based magic would on druidism, for example. Don't see why it shouldn't be a thing, so I'll throw in my support.

Folks please don't comment on this thread unless you're the leader of the factions involved, thanks.

no druid book booo In all seriousness, I am of the firm belief that the lore team should shift away from writing about big bombastic super-artifacts, gods/demons, and other such things that the majority of players don't care about, and most likely won't be affected by. This piece of lore is unfortunately part of that. If you think about it, do the majority of common elf, orc, oren or dwarf players really care that much about Gazardiel or Tahariae? Have they even heard of Apophet? These books serve only to be relevant to a relatively small, niche groups of players who frankly already have a ton of lore at their disposal. Can we shift our focus away from Aenguldaemons most people don't care about, and focus more on writing subtler, more down-to-earth lore that more mainstream playerbase cultures can use on a daily basis? Super-artifacts, aenguldaemons, and big events are all fine and good. But when writing lore for those things is all the LT does (or so it seems to be) then the majority of players who aren't invested in these groups, players who just want the LT to touch upon and help them develop some history and give them a base to build their cultures, feel underepresented. tl;dr: This lore doesn't really have any appeal beyond "ooh powerful" to players who don't belong to very niche groups. LT, please expand your horizons and write for the common players culture.

I'm conflicted as well. I appreciate the effort put into writing this but I don't really like how you're trying to write into lore what effectively can be done in-game. And it has been done in game. From the faith/religious angle of this post, it draws large parallels with aspectism. I'd rather not just have something so similar written into Canon all of a sudden via lore post, when many of us have been more organically trying to implement something very similar in-game through RP. Like Callax said, the magic is quite similar to druidism, so if you must go through with this lore I'd say at least write in some connection with the Aspects and druidism (make it a splinter magic of druidism?) to make it not just a standalone diety who also happens to be able to control nature.

Enepay the entrepreneur is seeking a loan to give his start-up sheep and horse business the momentum to turn it from a mom-and-pop operation to a corporate entity. He figures if he can maintain his yearly 4.5% growth in ROI, he should be able to afford taking the risk of opening a new accounts payable. He considers going to the bank of Marin.

You have your way of integrating new lore into every day RP, and I have mine. I've deigned not to be hostile or passive agressive towards yours, so please show me that same amount of respect, thanks.

If its a splinter group then frankly I have no issue with this piece of lore, nor does it necessarily have to conflict with the seed lore which most wood elves RP as their history these days!
