Where's my Valheim invite?

I was brought back from death by this lore post to give it my official support. +1

All I was saying was to not copy the video beat for beat man you don’t gotta get so heated.

The difference between those examples and your own is that they took parts of the story from Gwyns Knights, like I said. Lord of Sunlight is a trope as far back as Ra if not before, and hunting dragons likely just as long. Again, changed for the setting and not beat for beat.

I’ll admit, my fluff story was rather inspired by the Warbringers Azshara Trailer. Granted, the circumstances are the same: sinking civilization brought to ruin, a survivor makes contact with an otherworldly power. But as John Steinbeck said, “I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one.” This means there are no TRUELY original ideas. Every idea is inspired by something that already exists. In fact, most lore on LOTC is blatantly ripped from video game. That, and it makes for a really good origin story.

I never said you can’t take inspiration from a source, people have been doing that since the dawn of literature. Where I draw the line is outright plagiarism, even in something as simple as Minecraft lore. You could’ve AT LEAST made an attempt to differentiate it a bit more from the video, while still keeping the core themes intact. People still come up with somewhat original ideas every day, it just has to be different enough to be considered separate, like most LotC lore.

Firstly: The Phantom Craft? Really? It sounds like a minecraft metal gear solid server.

Second: Why did you literally just copy the story from this World of Warcraft trailer. Did you think nobody would notice, or did you not want to come up with a more original idea? Like, you didn’t change a single thing except the names and some of the dialogue to just be the same thing said differently.

This is VERY barebones, and would be even worse with just being mindless PvP machines. You’ve stripped all the purpose and ideas behind the original lore, so, nah. -1

I’m surprised the owner of the premier roleplay server has time to post!

Your dog is overweight. Put him on a diet and give him more exercise. Animal obesity isn’t cute. It’s cruelty.

I’ve walked him a lot, and seen him go on hour long runs, he gets exercise daily lmao.

drfate doesn't speak for necromancy. Also this rewrite isn't nearly detailed enough or written well enough.

From atop his decrepit throne, a cobweb covered lich remains entirely still, news of the lands and dead are brought to him by aging minions as he works some unseen study. A simple response is muttered by the corpse, his jaw never moving though the sound echoed off the chamber walls:

"The Ghuul will return, when they are required."

Beneath the mountain, in halls of aged and molded stone, a lone lich tends to the new body he laid to rest along with countless others, given peace until required.

This looks like a lot, like really a lot. It looks nice but it seems like it adds Soul Puppetry into the mix (Some of the Curses pointed out are almost the exact same thing from the Lore itself), combining it with Necromancy makes it look like a subtype magic of Necromancy. I don't care and Puppetry is gone afterall, but I just wanted to point that out because that's a bunch of magic to work with.

Necromancy Curses have been around almost exactly as they are here since before Soul Puppetry was a glimmer in the eye. This argument has been brought up a lot and it's entirely baseless - if anything Soul Puppetry would be removed for being a copy of Necromancy curses as they came first. We've let it slide because who cares, yet here you argue the opposite.

I helped a little.

Gravelord Adremeich narrows his skeletal eyes as he feels a disturbance.

Ascended holy healing is just fine and perfectly balanced. We have never had a complaint against it.

What. Excuse me? This has been contested for ages, we have discord channels based on fixing it and have for months.

Really though, remove a race before adding more.

Beneath the feet of stone and rock which covered his brood, Gravelord Adremeich simply stared toward the wall from atop his throne. Seeming much like a lifeless skeleton which had faded with the ages, he spent many hours reminiscing over the soldier he had dragged from the horrid ruins of Johannesburg. 

The people must know.

yeah fair

Cya in like 3 months my dude.

Take bets on if he lasts longer than two weeks again. +1
