  1. Jiangu'Lak, Associate of the Trout Population, reads the missive and distantly thinks of the Lord of Trout Population Analytics, Barbog @Barbog. He wonders if this will effect the trout population and how the powerful duo can save the delicate species.

  2. my best suggestion is stop making biomes that no one can use unless you're gonna shove them off on a big island that doesn't take up main land space. Volcano regions, hole-mountain regions, and a few other notable biomes are just ugly and have no use

  3. Nothing I say here is trying to be rude or an attack, just feedback.

     

    A lot of this lore comes off as reskinned golems with a niche ability to make fire which doesn't exactly follow the theme of the lore (which already seems to be a little bit all over the place). Additionally, this seems like it would add ultimately to the bloat that is inanimate CA's that already are overpopulated (animii, sorvians, golems, atronachs, etc) and doesn't really do anything different from the rest, nor provide something cannot already be obtained. I also noticed you mention Setherien a lot throughout this lore, but you relate a lot of it to blood magic and genus, making it like some weird fusion of previous Dreadknights (blood magic golems) and just named after Setherien. Finally its not thematically like the harbingers or Setherien, but more in line with Malghourn's old stuff with blood magic, even if it is a resub of something that Setherien had. Overall, I think focusing on some inanimate CA right now doesn't do a lot since there are already way too many for each individual group of people. You might be able to obtain the same idea with Golems and some basic voidal enchantments.

     

    also reading further along it there are a lot of really sneaky lines written. for example, you can make them out of Dracanium and also the staff (meant to be the weakness of them) can be made out of any wood, like ironwood or something else way stronger. oh, also, you can imbue herald magic into them w/ a MArt which is yet another power upgrade, defeating a lot of the weaknesses of golems, that being that they're all brute with limited capacity for magic.

  5. Dael'ran, The once Silver Sage, stood distantly on the edge of the voidal corruption, peering into the tear of destruction that still plagued the lands, cursing it. As word reached him of an Ascended order his mind began to inflate with thousands of memories, times of death and damnation, of tragedy, and of joy. As he read through the missive he'd squint intensely and grumble "I had figured it would be a real dedication- instead it is piracy of the name and rebranded under some unknown figure...." He'd raise his free hand to grasp his chin in thought "It is a disgrace, but people do as they desire I 'spose" The man said just in time for some idle horror to approach, a battle to ensue. 

  6. In the distant reaches of the world an elder 'ame lay positions carefully on a cot, his body squirming about and twitching haphazardly. Time ticked on as nightmares of the Elysian haunted him alongside the anxieties that came with his figure... but finally did he dream. His eyes opened to witness a figure amidst a crowd, then one of sorrow, and finally that figure alone. In a snap he woke as sweat dribbled down his face and fell off onto the floor beside. 

     

    "Another has been found"

     

    Was all he muttered before he gently stood inside of his Celia'nor abode.

    An Ancient Mali'ame rowed his boat from the coast slowly over to an island central to a lake. With each movement he towed himself deeper into a sad fog that hung over an island. On his last paddle an image came to him, a skull made as if hand painted. Moments later his head fell and a sad frown came across his face. "Till death do we part, sleep well friend, I am sure to see you in the afterlife."

     

     

     

  8. Tap Tap Tap Tap

     The sound of the ladder sounded out. Soon, the man came to a table and flipped open a page only to be met with a sense of vertigo. His invisible eyes swept across the page and slowly his mind was filled with information from a world uncannily familiar, yet all the same. Word by word he digested the page and for one reason or another he looked upwards only to witness something incomprehensible.

     

    Beyond his desk now lay a light growing as he adjusted only for him to be punched across the nose with a rancid scent. In moments his eyes focused onto his new existence and he stared around blindly for a moment as he observed an entire world composed of nothing but limbs cut below the knee. All sorts of shapes and sizes and types of creation lay in what one might call a plane. Seamlessly the legs of a bug, a descendant, and even a bear merged together in an infinite wave made like an ocean of flesh and carapace. On what one could guess to be a coast was a thick line of mushrooms infinitely rotting away the never ending recycling of dead flesh and bone. 

     

    As Solace witnessed the stench for yet another breath he’d reach for a simple rag and put it over his mouth and nose to block out the horrid smell of the land he came into, yet his curiosity also pushed him forward. As he stepped forth the land continued to shift in its slow flailing manner, allowing him to step onto the top of a leg where lines of parasitic-looking infections grew and coated whatever flesh had once been there. With each step he sunk gently into the infected flesh, each step leaving an eternal footprint behind in the rotten lands. 

     

    Time passed slowly for the soothsayer, each step he took allowed him to sail further into the lands until he was able to find a land composed entirely of the arc of a giant foot with two hills. The palm and heel of the foot held two bundles of giant mushrooms with the arch valley being desolate, only filled with filth as if the foot itself had walked through dirt for eons. With fear he trudged through the filth to reach the peak of a hill, slicing off a chunk of the mushroom and stowing it away in his bag. 

     

    For a moment longer he’d gaze out into the infinite land of rolling legs only to turn at a perfect time. 

     

    Tap Tap Creak
     

    In one moment the Seer witnessed a huge foot coming down upon his rolling forest of fungi, the noise coming from the lack of Synovial fluid in the non-existent knee joint. Before he could react he’d shut his eyes tight in preparation for impact only to be imparted with a slight breeze. The seer starred up only to find once more the forbidden page in his grasp, his position being in his decorated basement. 

     

    What does this mean?” He’d simply ask himself as he tucked away the page, worried he might once more be dragged to wherever that was.

    I like the feedback, this helps a lot since we always are trying to make it better but obviously after you stare at your own lore for so long you sort of glaze over things.

    1. - Appraise 
    In the description it does have a line to differentiate who gives the info when read, that being the player who used it, the player who signed it, and then the ST inside of events only. It also notes on the vision part this lil section "In events, if the ST consent, a seer may receive a brief, 5-10 second vision of the past centered on the object and about its history. " Also you cant use identify to deduce who used it. 
    Red Lines:
    -Appraise cannot derive exactly where, who by, or when the object was created or enchanted unless given via ST vision.

    2. - Charade 
    I think in the same vein of how paladin mist manipulation or other freeform uses don't really have a limitation is the way it was designed, however I get why you would want one so I'll throw it into the rewrite chat.

    3. - Casting Aesthetic
    I think the part you're most worried about won't be an issue given the seers we have, but also the fact that anything complex or perhaps questionable (or like 99% of casting tells) should be talked through an ST before use, which is also quoted in your bit. The freeform aspect of it won't allow us to create anything beyond a tell so creating side illusions or something crazy would be hard, but I can understand what you're saying when you say its risky, however I think the ST approval part of it will eliminate that fact. 

    4. - Eyebite Illusionary bit
    With this, it generally should line up with the seers abilities due to the fact that we impose our own actual illusions on ourselves everytime we slot, which is where the ability is derived from in some aspects I think. Eyebite especially is just visual effects, although I could be misunderstanding what you mean.

    5. - Djinn
    tossed this into seer rewrite chat, will be amended. good feedback 100%

    6. - sown items
    sown items are useless to everyone except seers, anyone else its legit just a detriment and they basically rub off on the carrier and end up making them become sown with a seed, so I don't think selling them will happen but I could be wrong. Ultimately I was thinking that these items would require the ST to sign because the ST wanted something like this to be signed, just purely out of sake for legitimacy 

    7. - Invisibility 
    I'll put this in the rewrite chat, see what Zars believes in that part since he wrote that

    8. - Scry
    sweet

    9. - Divination
    Yeah the purpose of the spell is to rather find your sown victim or find another seer or find a certain person to roleplay with them. Knowledge of where they are is useless unless you act on it I'd think, but we can toss something in there along the lines of requires consent of the captors OR cannot be done at all

    10. - Altars
    didnt even think of this one, redline added 

    11. - Mendacity
    I'll let Zar address that one

    12. - Identify
    Yeah, thats a good point. Pushed it over to the chat.

    Thanks for the feedback my friendly fella!
