  1. Ultimately it's not the style of RP that perturbs me, I enjoy the exploration of Canon Church RP when it's more dramatic than testing guards at the gates. It's that OOC'ly the attitude between these two groups seems to be odds because of a perception that church RP is incompatible with dark horror. I literally could not disagree more on this premise, though, I believe both groups could easily collaborate to create compelling stories. The snarky attitude probably ate up a lot of those points, but I feel like the idea of an antagonistic IRP relationship has bled into both the OOC regard of "edgelords" vs "christdom larpers", as well as bled into the very lore idea of balance in the first place. These groups are not natural enemies out of character. Salt is there for the big reveal, not the gatehouse.
  2. Want to see innocents burned at the stake? LIAR'S SALT!

  3. Liar's Salt Rare (Learned IRP) Tier 2 Base: Salt 2 Rage 2 Poison 1 Reduction [Method] Crush up refined salt with the alchemical portions, mix with water until a slurry, and leave to dry for an RP hour. Cracking up the plate of dried salt will yield one measure of Liar's Salt. Liar's Salt is player signed. [Effect] Invented by pesky vampires sick of burning at the stake, this salt was created in order to spread horrible confusion amongst seemingly flawless methods of ousting their kind. The main effect of liar's salt is that is fizzles in genus carrying blood, and causes a wincing discomfort in open wounds. Completely indistinguishable to all who do not know its recipe from regular salt, the only way to tell is to both know the recipe for Liar's Salt, and then to dissolve the salt in aqua vitae to reveal the small alchemical disparities.
  4. Hi, it doesn't matter how careful you are, people metagame & having ''some'' extremely loose RP reasoning such as: "We LARP Christian Nationalists" in order to nearly always overcome the barrier of generating enjoyable RP for your victims (read, the players you are permanently ousting from their own community) doesn't exonerate the poor attitude most players have around "catching spooks". Creature RP has a place on the server & it is written to allow fantasy exploration of common villainous tropes. The glaring issue in power dynamic is a lack of group OOC planning on the part of MA, FA, and CA holders, as is the opposite case with human nations - they are often entirely driven through discord. If Creatures could get together en-masse through national discord servers & burn you at the stake while also ejecting you from the entirety of the community, I am sure they would. It would probably be a better story than another player who just wants to LARP dracula being forcibly ejected from an RP group because a guard was told in discord voice-chat, "Salt them, salt them!" It seems your OOC attitude is leaking quite a lot into IRP, or vice versa, though it can be hard to tell with these gymnastics. These characters often have quite a lot to provide in terms of RP other than simply hanging around waiting to die. It is exactly this no good faith attitude wherein other players are perceived as your "enemy" for holding an MA that drives the constant update of lore to evade asinine & overly memed "Spook-Testing". There is a mindset of pure, flawless character logic. Most humans abide by it. This means if I emote ANYTHING about being creepy AT ALL, the salt's coming out. No wiggle room for tropes, themes, collaborative writing, or investigation RP. Why would they need it? Why would they need to think? They have nothing to lose by just salting every single person they see. Much the same as other "random" policies in the real world that claim to be fair & unbiased, people do not "randomly" start salt-testing unless they are quite confident OOC they will find who they are looking for. I have even seen human players declare "Salt test, salt test!" and then take someone LOGGING OFF as a reason to find them later, because they "clearly escaped the salt tests!" Funnily enough, they were a vampire. This is bad game design, simple as. As an addendum, the solution to this problem is simple! Create alchemical salt that fizzles in everyone's blood. Go into the human capital, salt test their popes & such with it, and when they don't burn these people alive, we'll all know what the real issue here is. Addendum 2: Took me all of five minutes.

    REPORT I

    Without words, a Prophet prays the missive will not reach her people. She remembers the terrifying, clandestine meeting, and puts it to the back of her mind... For now, for now.
  6. "Ho-HM!" Auriel beams in joy, seeing Dwarves digging again & causing great riches to flow into Urguan.
  7. I suppose it's harmless? But it's also a specific magical ability in Naztherak blood magic & Auric Oil is already one of the stronger potions.
  8. no offense but isn't the hulk-dragon spell the best one anyway?
  9. Crush alchemy lore to be twice as weak in combat, and then open it up to all players.

  11. "Chaos seeps into Urguan. Where is the sense? Twice he has attacked, a century of madness proven, and now he is still defended." "No trial? And yet he walks free after house arrest, free to strike at the Grandaxes." "And at every turn, an oust against the King is threatened, who has seen no justice for an attack on his Kin."

  20. The Holy Order of the Reforged is recruiting! The Order of the Reforged stands strong against the dark dangers of the world & slays foes to keep Urguan safe with the Blessing of the Brathmordakin. Through book, blade, and belief, the Order overcomes darkness within Dwarven lands. The faithful may take up weapons or magic in defense of this most Holy land, the Order accepts all who seek to fight for faith. Members of this order swear to prioritize penance and duty to Brathmordakin, the Dwarven Gods. Brothers and Sisters of this order are equal, ranks are given for better organization of the order. To avoid temptation and to remain pure in function and goal, members of this order cannot become Kings or Clan Fathers, but they may work and rise in rank with the Grand Legion or within the Clergy. Besides Brathmordakin worship, the Order has one true belief, that being the Auction of the Dead. After all Dwarves die, their souls are evaluated coin by coin by the Brathmordakin & bid on in a great auction where their true value is determined. The Holy Order of the Reforged aims to give Dwarves valuable souls & guide them through Fear, Fire, and Faith. Order of the Reforged - Ranks Initiate - One who has completed no vows nor Holy Quest. Watcher - One who has completed their vows & at least one Holy Quest. Reforged Brother or Sister - One who has completed all their vows, at least one Holy Quest, and displayed exceptional sacrifice for the Brathmordakin. Reforged Commanders - Baldin Frostbeard, Sigrun Ireheart What training & privileges do the oathed members of the Order of the Reforged have? All Watchers have their armors & weapons Warforged, and are appraised for their worth in the Auction of the Dead. Combat training is mandatory, as is service to the Faith. Zealous Warriors are trained in the Holy Alchemy of Dwarves & its righteous power, and receive divine armor to protect against darkness. Pious Mages are trained in Voidal & Hearth Magicks to defeat aberrations of Vuur’dor & bless the world with mystical power. All Dwarves who believe in Faith & Glory are welcomed to enroll as initiates, though only the bravest may pass through the oaths to become Watchers of the Order. Fill out the short form below & post here, or contact DiscoLiquid in-game to fight as a Holy Dwarf. [Order of the Reforged] [The Brathmordakin] Dwarf Name: Minecraft Name: Which of the 7 Brathmordakin are Ye inspired by? Will Ye serve with Sword or Spell?
