Vruk remembers how Orgoth betrayed the Braduks for power during Drokon’s reign.

I’ve played LoTC for the past 4 maybe 5 years now. Back then it was awesome, it was a whole new world to explore, so much lore and things to delve into. But over time that magic and wonder started to fade as I integrated further into it. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve liked a lot of the people and factions I’ve joined over the years but lately, it’s been boring. I’m inactive as hell, despite me trying to get on every now and then, I just log back off because of pure boredom.

And the staff at first were amazing and super helpful, but nowadays they’re not that great. Lore is left on hold for years for the most BASIC submissions, bias is rampant, and there’s no communication from staff. I remember when Sykotic shelved Bloodline Braduks until they were changed. He didn’t specify what needed to be changed. Just that they needed to be changed. I PM’ed him multiple times over discord and in game, asking what needed to be changed, if there was a format I was supposed to follow, where I was supposed to post it and I got no answer. Still haven’t actually. Or when people put multiple complaints about the applications, stating they’re too easy, which they are. Their only response from the App Team was: “Be the change you want to see. Apply!” But they were never answered. A friend of mine who left a while ago, I can’t remember her name, said that the reason she left was because she got in an argument with the App Team manager at the time and they threatened to take away her rank if she kept denying the terrible applications and told her to stop promoting harder apps. Or the GM team who I found immensely helpful at first but later on they were not that great. Krugmar was going through a war raid and PvP was on. People were mostly scattered, but a lot of times I would see players on the Empire side that I had just killed come back as “spectators”. GMs were fine with it. So I end up getting ganked by 5 players, die and SS back to spectate. Before I’m even two blocks off the Pillar I’m banned for 3 days for coming back to the raid after dying. Couldn’t spectate. So I informed the Gm about all the Empire players I had seen doing the same or even coming back to fight AGAIN, and they said alright we’ll look into it. Yet when I asked another player if they were banned or anything, they said they were not and were still “spectating”. 

I remember when applications took effort, you had to think and really read into the lore to get accepted. Nowadays any guy with a 4 sentence backstory is let in. And it leads to horrific RP encounters. I remember trying to bandit a guy who tried to do a flip over my Olog. And then was pissed when I told him he couldn’t jump 9 feet as a human. Or when a dude tried to cut my Olog in half with a katana. But got mad when that didn’t work out for him. There’s no longer any quality apps, it’s mostly just quantity. Just because you have more people doesn’t mean your RP server is the best. A lot of the players accepted these days have no idea what they’re doing, and get just cause problems for other players who do know. And you can’t say “Well theyre new, we just have to teach them!” Because the player who randomly killed me on the roads was a month into the server and was only given a warning. I never did get my things back. 

But on the brighter note of things, a lot of the communities I’ve been involved with I’ve had great memories. 

Krugmar

You guys really are the best. Even though others might not think so, you are all some of the most chill and nicest players I’ve ever met on this server. After 4 years of being an avid Orc player, I leave you with my best wishes. You were what I wanted when I came to this server. A good community and faction, that knows how to RP and can help out it’s newer members. All while still having some fun memey RP every now and then. 

Gallic

You have really been like a father figure to me and have given me great advice since my second week into the server. You made me enjoy playing and made me want to play more. You encouraged me and helped me out when I needed it the most. 

MinaGobbler

You’ve been an amazing Rex, and knowing you’re Rin’s brother I know he’s taught you well. You’ve really grown from that Raguk and I’m excited to see what you’ll do next for Krugmar. If you would do this, tell Rin that hopefully on another server or another place, maybe Turkurz and Jukha can have a happier ending where they instead just work the forge. Instead of dying horrible deaths. 

Micbox 

You have been a good friend of mine that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed RPing with, even if we’ve clashed heads at times we came to realize that LotC is just blocks. There’s no reason to have an OOC argument over some minor thing. 

Periklis02

You’ve been an amazing supporter of pretty much everything I’ve tried to do or started up, and I’m happy that you’ve been there. You’ve helped to encourage me when I thought it was better to just stop. 

And many more people

There’s a lot more of you guys who’ve helped shape the person I’ve become. And for that I thank you. You have given me some damn good memories, and amazing experiences. Even if you weren’t mentioned in this post, please do keep in touch with me. Lots of you. I need friends still, and I’ll probably still hang out in a lot of the discords just to reminisce or learn what’s going on but I don’t think I’ll be playing again anytime soon. To anyone who needs to get in touch with me, or simply wants to talk, my discord is Slothtastic#7226. I hope you all have a great life. I will miss most of you, except some of the staff that I did not like. Or some of the players I did not like. Axeman51. But as for the rest of you, you have been great. And yes the formatting is horrible because I’m on mobile. No I won’t be changing it. 

Title says it all. Why not do this? Have some good solid redlines laid out to accompany anything with claws or teeth, or anything that’s not already covered. It might be difficult, but it’d be easier than the beast race submissions we see today. Instead we could turn the individual races (Kha, Hou, Wonks) into more of a culture system. 

Breeding would work the same however, with X species only being able to breed with X species and same with Y species only being able to breed with Y. That way we don’t have half turtle rabbits running around. The obvious worry is furries though... yikes.

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Wonks are amphibious creatures that have two subtypes. Frog Wonks and Toad Wonks. Both possess bulbous hands and feet, as well as difficulty putting on muscle. They cannot be stronger than a human descendant. Both can manipulate their tongue, which is normally about as long as their arm. This is no stronger than a finger however, and cannot be utilized effectively in combat. The further it is moved, the harder it is to control. They can only move their tongue out at a maximum of 1 block. Wonks can also see and breathe underwater with ease, but they cannot speak underwater or open their mouth or else they will drown.

Frog Wonks are of course, frog-like. As well as being skinnier, lankier, and smoother skin. Frog Wonks have greens and yellows, as well as some other brighter colors compared to toad wonks darker colors. Their height ranges from 4’6” to 5’0”, making them taller than Toad Wonks. They also have vibrantly colored irises.

Toad Wonks have bumpy, rough skin. As well as being shorter and stouter than the frog counterparts. They range from 4’1”-4’7”. The toads have brownish colors, as well as dull reds and greens which are rarer among the Toads. They have the same vibrant irises.

Wonks have lesser souls, and so they cannot learn magic that would require a greater soul. They are partially warm-blooded, but mostly cold-blooded. And depending on the climate of which they are in, their blood can be used as a drug similar to marijuana. Wonks also must bathe in water, to gain moisture or risk drying out and dying.

“Zkah off lat kuntz. Blah dat zkah agayn agh mi will chop lat’z cokk off.” Orgak grumbled. 

The March to War

The two Laks stood outside the gate, waiting for the Farseer. Their slave was close by, and ready to follow them. Normally, Orgak would not have allowed this. A mere slave meeting Laklul? Preposterous. But it was the time where all Laks are to meet Laklul, in order to learn their new directive from the great spirit. And if this slave coming with them was to give more worship towards Laklul, then by all means he should come. Finally, Nazark arrived.

“Are you ready?” The Farseer asked, peering around the group. His gaze lingered on the slave, but it disappeared.

“Yes. We are ready.” Orgak replied, and the group followed Nazark to his home where he passed around a pipe full of cactus green. Each took their own hit, and closed their eyes. Orgak could hear Nazark chanting, but only barely. 

(Laklul’s Swamp)

He was focused, and concentrating. He felt the familiar sensation of mud on his back, and he heard the sounds of the swamp. When he opened his one eye, he finally saw Laklul’s domain once more. Nazark looked to the two still not awake, and unmoving. It was their first trip to the Great Swamp. Orgak envied them, to get that feeling of intense euphoria as he woke up for the first time in the Great Spirit’s domain… he would’ve loved to have felt that again. He watched Nazark get up, and rub mud on their faces to get them to awaken. 

“Come, we will follow the river. All things flow to the place of power.” The Farseer began the long walk. On the way, they saw what looked to be a wonk, but what many knew to be a lesser of Laklul. “Be careful,” Nazark warned, “lessers will do anything to gain favor with Laklul. Any threatening moves, and he will surely kill us.” Orgak looked to the slave, who was terrified of the thought. While the other Lak wore a mask, so Orgak could not see his emotions. 

(Depiction of Laklul)

After a small time, they finally came to him. Laklul, the great spirit of the Swamp. He appeared as he always had, a giant toad upon a lilypad. Nazark began the greetings, before explaining their purpose as to their visit. They wished to find the new purpose of the Clan, their new task. Laklul frowned. He was displeased. His voice was deep, and he spoke slowly. Nazark nodded, turning to the Laks.

“He is angry. You have allowed one of his swamps to become tainted by Dark Shamanism. He wishes you to purify the swamp, by removing the problem at the source. Kill the dark shamans, get rid of them.” Nazark translated. Orgak smiled. A new Holy War, for the greatest of all Spirits, and against Dark Shamans of all things. In the Laks’ home territory of a swamp. The Swampgoth smiled, “Tell Laklul that we will deal with this problem. We will exterminate the dark shamans, and purify the swamp in his holy name.” When this was translated back to Laklul, he gave no sign of recognition. But this did not upset the new Swampgoth, but rather motivate him.

He knew that now to gain the favor of Laklul, he must purify the swamp for him. Orgak’s eye and countless druidic sacrifices were not enough, for allowing a swamp to become tainted was the ultimate sin for a Lak. When they awoke from the spirit realm, he headed back to the Lak Hall. 

(Lak pikemen advancing)

“BROTHERS! SISTERS! IT IS TIME! THE TIME OF THE SWORD AND AXE IS NIGH! BRING OUT THE HAMMERS, STRAP ON YOUR ARMOR! WE GO TO WAR WITH THE DARK SHAMANS! LAKLUL WILLS IT!” The sound of hammers striking metal now sounds from the Hall, as war is being prepared. The Laks equip their armor of quality, those of high ranks bearing the White Hand of Laklul. War has come, whether the dark shamans wanted it or not, they had gotten the attention of the Laks.

         Hou-Zi (Hei-Zhu)

Creator's MC Name:

         N/A

Creator's RP Name:

         N/A

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Hou-Zi are Metztli’s first experiment with uplifting and creating new races. Created before even the Kharajyr, as she first uplifted the Alpha Monkey with 12 wives to his name. He later became known as Hou-Shen. Over time, others came from him. Different subspecies and notable characters. But, as time went on, Hou-Shen lived and seemed immortal. Hou-Shen became a God-King among the Hou-Zi. In the early days, they fought against the elves and their kind, constantly warring. Yet, at the end of the second Elven war, they lost and were pushed back into the jungles of Axios. As well as their capital city now being infested with a poisonous gas, as they believed themselves to be cursed by a god. As time went on, the Hou-Zi recovered and a new religion was formed. Centered around much more spiritual aspects of life, as well as Chi. The aesthetic of the Hou-Zi is very eastern, and is described as Chinese. With some Hou-Zi speaking in broken english.

The Hou-Zi have three subspecies.

The most common are the Laobai-Zhu, they resemble monkeys the most. They possess brown fur and yellow eyes, as well as long tails they can use to grip things and climb. The Laobai come in different shapes and sizes, they are not contained to a range. They live to about 100 years before dying of natural causes.

The Fei-Zhu are the second subrace, they have bright, vibrant fur colors. The Fei-Zhu resemble baboons and mandrills. They are the smallest of the Hou-Zi as well, standing from about 5’“-6’“. However, they do live longer than the Fei-Zhu, from about 100-250 years old.

The third and final subrace, and my personal favorite, are the Hei-Zhu. They resemble gorillas and great apes, reaching the heights of around 7’“ and sometimes even bigger. They are the worker and warrior caste most of the time, as they have the size to support it. Normally, they bear black fur and brown eyes.

Lang-Xiahou sat deep within a jungle, coughing blood as he read the document. Despite the many years that had passed, he had never truly recovered from the slaughter. He thought back to the event, regretting as to how he could never rejoin his people. “Xiahou hopes they are well now. Xiahou lives happily.” He looked to his new family, and if he was to die, he would die a happy man.

Most tortoises are not build to swim in water, not having any of the requirments to actualy stay at the same level when they swim. The fact that theit arms and legs are not that long and they weigh quite a lot doesn't help. I hope this answers your question sloth ?

It does, but we could still use some more lore on them as well.

Why Do You Wish To Come?: Same as before. Just from the perspective of a dwarf. 

What Skills Can You Bring?: He’s essentially a slayer from Warhammer. Good against many things in combat. 

I like the idea, but we could use a little more on them. Also why aren’t they able to move so fast in water? Why do they weigh so much?

Orgak vomited at this. The Laks should not interbreed with Lurs. 

“Dat’z.... nub how ed workz.” Orgak said, cringing a little. 

Hey uh quick question did you mean that their strength cannot surpass an Orc? Because Olog is p fuckin strong

So Vikings again? 

Damn this is actually cool. Though I have only skimmed it, judging by the good comments and what I read, this is an actual curse now instead of an easy combat buff?

Thought it was gonna be like Night Goblin Trolls. Disappointed

Why was this denied in the first place?! Also why are Tribals still unplayable? I see no reason as to why Reformed Wonks couldn’t just make their own reclusive tribe
