DISCOLIQUID

Explain Druidic Soul trees and why they allow people to avoid the death memory loss.

I'll add the snippet about their wings! I've also read some stuff about Emu's and the lore for the Gy'waka and I've adjusted the height accordingly. My idea was to keep the bird from being too menacing, but that didn't account for the 40% neck height.

Free Music. The Cranes of Adrallan are a peculiar species of Athera. They often keep entirely to themselves and live in secluded sections of the forests of Adrallan. Rivers and reeds are their home; there they hide and dart with the speed of horses. It is because of their extreme speed that these cranes are at times coveted as mounts. When these massive beasts are not sprinting to keep up with the schools of fish they scoop up as their diet, they can often be found napping underneath the serene fall of leaves. Their impressive stature sets the largest of male cranes at eight and a half feet tall, and the matriarch of a flock of these cranes may stand at a staggering nine feet tall at the tip of their head. The crimson flare of the feathers of the cranes is created from the mass amount of both salmon and berries in their diet. While the cranes are born white, the huge intake of salmon and berries to make up for the colossal caloric intake of their speed eventually tinges their feathers with a shimmering crimson hue. Peace and wisdom is what these cranes embody. They are highly intelligent for animals, capable of learning through visual observation and eventually developing the ability to mimic the sounds of other animals, including the common tongue of Athera. The cranes are docile to a fault. They choose always to run instead of fight, and their only defense mechanisms are to batter with massive wings and to scratch and bite; long claws sit at the base of their powerful legs should they become completely cornered. These bold animals travel in packs of eight to twelve, and are often lead by a massive matriarch. The matriarch is the oldest of the cranes, and as such, the reddest. Few legends circulate of a purely red crane who has lived on Athera since even before the Descendants arrived to its shores. Despite these myths, the cranes normally live to be twenty or twenty five years of age, with a few making it to thirty. The taste of these cranes is something that along with their gorgeous feathers, has forced their numbers to dwindle, dwindle, die. Few of these cranes exist anymore, and speculation suggests less than twenty exist in Athera anymore. For those lucky enough to successfully tame one of these majestic creatures as a pet, one would find they are highly loyal; however, combat is not within the nature of these beasts. ___________________________________________________________________ Alright Disco, you wrote some stupid lore again. What's it for this time? Well, I don't think Athera has enough cool Fauna. I really don't. Also, cranes are pretty bad ass, don't lie. Also, I really hate Undead horse mounts, and I want to RP mine as a kick ass docile crane. So, yeah. Disco, does it have red li- If I see you running around with these cranes making them kick people in the face, I'll reach through your computer and eat all of your peanut butter. They don't fight. They can't have a conversation with you, they can memorize short phrases. They don't fight. Ramming a crane into someone isn't going to happen, the crane will stop. They don't fight. They eat fish, not cupcakes. If it isn't fed fish or berries, it's going to get sick. Don't role-play as the crane unless you have GM or ET permission, duh. They don't Other than that, they're just really, really big cranes. fight.

If you touch it, the gems will no longer produce a tone - they'll just be regular, shiny gemstones.

Beauty may be subjective, but the Gemsong Crystals of Athera drop jaws within their cavern dwellings. The Gemsong Crystals of Athera have been buried just underneath the surface of the world, and have often gone unnoticed by the miners of the realm due to the hustle and bustle of the trade; however, those wise enough to stop, those who stay the cacophony of pick against stone, those who look in the dark for beauty and not riches - may find awe. These multifaceted crystals grow from the slow trickle of natural water through stone. As the water crams down into crevices of caves, these gems slowly coalesce into easily fractured and easily inspiring gems of awesome color. Should the natural light of sunlight be allowed to touch the surfaces of these rare gems, one would find an array of luminescent colors bursting from the skin of the crystals. Their most stunning quality however, is, by no small margin, their voice. These crystals resonate and produce pitches that are light quiet hums to the Descendant's ears. Should multiple crystals be gathered in one place, their tones shall adapt to one another and resonate in chords that may be especially pleasing to the ear. This beauty is not perfect, though. With the touch of skin against these crystals, their resonation is muted and one will find that they do not sing. A crystal must be untouched by skin or leather or cloth - only a resting place of Atheran stone will allow the crystals to remain unmuted. Few offer conjecture to this purpose; perhaps the crystals are magic in some way and touching them drains latent mana, perhaps the crystals are charged in some way by an Aengul who fears the mortal coil, or perhaps the strange nature of these crystals is just an Atheran miracle that should not be questioned - simply appreciated for their beauty. Regardless of the source of their odd tonality, one thing can be agreed on - The hum and the glisten of a Gemsong Crystal are two sources of harmony among a world ravaged by war. _________________________________________ So, why this? Well, the crystals don't serve a combat purpose - why should they? We've crossbows, pole-axes, magic, kittens, you name it, for combat. Where is the high fantasy of this realm that hurls players into a world of wonder? I've an arrogant answer, it's right here. Players will be able to gather these crystals and represent them IC'ly however they see fit with MC items such as emeralds, lapis, note blocks, even music discs. Does it have red lines? ~Don't use the shimmer of a gemstone for combat, you're better off running away. ~The gemstone is not loud enough to hurt anyones hearing or distract them from magic. ~The gemstones have no effect on anyone that they do not wish to RP. ~Touching a gemstone with anything processed by man (cloth, tools, leather, skin, etc) will mute it. Natural substances (Uncut wood, grass, stone, water) will not mute the stone. ~This lore is for immersion and smiles. Don't make people frown with my lore if it's accepted.

I'm going to request that this is pinned. It's one of my favorite guides.
