Full Name: Feyrith Age: 65 Residency: Dominion Major Subject: Medicinal Sciences - Alchemy Secondary Subject: Fine Arts - Journalism Please compose a well-written paragraph, explaining why you’d like to attend the Holm Academy, and what opportunities you may pursue with your degree. I desire to join the Academy to explore more about the arts of medicine and alchemy. I wish to make myself of use to aid the ill and warriors of battle through the practice. These are dire times of conflict call high demand for medicine and alchemy - a choice I can pursue if I am able to obtain a degree. The Academy also offers diversity of other people with different backgrounds, and it will be healthy to expose myself and understand other people. Knowledge is a full of richness and wealth in itself and I hope to be granted with such a chance. ((Discord: Panda Prince#7751 ((MC Username: DaddiesGummies 

Upon hearing news about the cantina, Feyrith frowned and held his instruments close to him. "I didn't want to go anyway."

Olnin stirred around after reading the parchment. "Agh suddenly every'azh so interested in the Spirits?" The goblin cackled, returning to wherever he had came from.

Thanks for using my moon pool ;-;

Hola! Okay, okay! Blah speech is not enforced anymore, and there have been threads in the past about this! Though, if some orcs are getting aggressive because another orc does not have the accent, or too small of an accent, you should educate them of this and be like, "Hey! Stop it! No!" As for Olog CA, sure! Ologs are a powerful sub-race. They also could potentially be easily powergamed. I have seen some Ologs that have questionable knowledge -- too smart is what I'm trying to say. I read somewhere here of someone saying blacklist, but those would require GMs to look into the RP and players arguing among each other. Kinda like a ban report... maybe. I'unno the process! CA seems like a much safer route, regardless of the low activity. If someone wants to play a race, they should read up on it and understand how it works. That's a responsibility we hold as players, to read-up and comprehend the bulk of what we RP.

I agree completely with him! This section of the lore really caught my attention - probably because I'm a hexing freak, but whatever! Anyway, the most a witchdoctor's curse could probably extend is a week! And that's with OOC consent! A regular curse is about a day-to-two days, depending on your tier. I am against the cursing section because, like, Evocress mentioned, there are already two (maybe three because mysticism?) wonderful magics that can already curse. Not to mention, they have a wide variety of curses to cast. You even mentioned that it is similar to soul puppetry cursing... which is... meh. If you want cursing and necromancy, just become a soul puppeteer and a necromancer. No need to add that on to this rewrite when you've got some good magics right already in place! (Also, your cursing is very powerful... like super powerful... wow) Bottom line, I agree with Evocress a lot! As a suggestion to help you with this piece? I have nothing, but Evocress' amends look decent!

It was a nice, small piece to read! Some avatars, I dislike because they need work; however, others are neat-o. Anyway! Personally, I would like to see more done with the current avatars before considering adding more. Should more avatars - specifically these - wish to be added, some revision should be considered!

Listen here, punk. I've been refreshing this page every half-of-a-millisecond. I want to answer questions.

Seek out the shamans in RP and go through the proper procedures, which depends on the shaman teacher. Have fun, come again soon, please.

Great lore! I love it +1

A non-shaman can travel to the spirit realm, contact spirits, and request boons from them, as long as they have a Shaman who is capable of traveling to the respective realms. For instance, you want to talk to your dead Aunt Sally. Lucky for you, your dead Aunt Sally could be in the Ancestral Plane and you would need a Lutauman to visit/contact her. Want to have a chat with a lesser spirit of fire? Go to your local Elementalist (possibly witch doctor) and you'll be on your way. Immortal Spirits? Not a problem! Get in contact with a Farseer or Witch Doctor and they will be able to send you over there - given all these shamans are powerful enough to do so. In short, yes a non-shaman can travel to the Spirit Realm and contact Spirits but you generally need a Shaman to "make a passageway" for you. There are a few exceptions with events and if a Spirit decides to manifest into the Mortal Realm, etc. Of course, if you do want to role-play with a Spirit, you need an MT/LM, or an ET who is given permission to play them (I doubt this applies to Ancestral Spirits, unless you need an MT/LM to oversee it). Superstition role-play is also very fun!

Well said! And I agree completely with majority of what you said. With that, I would like to add that any race can become a shaman and learn shamanism. People in the past have acquired shamanism and they were not even an orc! Such as Phaedrus'Yar (I kind forgot what his username was, but I'm sure it's somewhere), 'Wraps' played by Whymsical, Dak'ir played by Dakirennis (spelling?), and probably others that I just cannot remember right now. If you are a non-orc and seek to be a shaman, you honestly just have to find the right kind of teachers and prove yourself worthy to be a shaman - that means you gotta deal with the spirits and praise(or at least, what most people prefer)! This is mostly directed to: @zaezae and any others who thought shamanism is race-locked!

Hello~ I may not be in any LotC power/staff/whatever, but thank you for your feedback! Overall, the shamans are currently in the works of a Shamanism clarification project. A few obstacles here and there, but of course it will get done (hopefully soon) nevertheless! Buuuuut, you already knew that since you're a Shaman, hehe. Anyway, let me address your concerns and my standpoint on them. 1. Shamanism decline! Yes, as it always has been since Vailor and now it just continues to sink. I do not have a valid or concrete answer to this issue, but I can give you what I think of the situation. Yes, the lack of teachers is one of the main causes for this problem - no doubt in my mind. I do not think I need to elaborate on that since it is evident and pretty self-explanatory. As a teacher in shamanism, and probably the only current active witch doctor teacher, finding students who my character deems "worthy" is difficult. Might not be an excuse and I do not want it to be seen as such, but my character truly sees many people unfit for shamanism. Speaking of which, if you are interested in witch doctory, do not hesitate to reach out to me IRP and things will go up from there! (I swear I'm nice!) 2. I could not agree more. Dark shamans, although it is somewhat helpful to the magic's growth, should not be able to teach regular shamanism. Yes, they could have the knowledge to teach, however the Spirits would know your attempts and obviously know that someone is a Dark Shaman and who you are teaching. It would be highly unlikely a Spirit would listen/answer/grant power to you if you are being taught by a Dark Shaman - a being that most, if not all, Spirits would have knowledge of being an entity that goes against the Spirits via (did I use that word right?) eating other spirits. The only spirits who would answer their call is probably another Dark Shaman in the Ancestral Realm or malicious Spirits such as Ixli, oh boy especially Ixli (naughty spirit). Do note, these are just my views and beliefs on the problems! Sorry if they did not make sense, but I am always willing to elaborate and expand upon them. Anyway, you are in Shaman Chat and we are able to reflect and deal with this issue (preferably after the Shaman clarification, pls). Was this help? Probably not, no no. But, meh, why not pitch in my own two cents.
