wow, if only we realized most things can be tracked in a comment on a thread.. which a lot of things are, and specifically by ST this does not need to be a CA for that, let's be so real.

agree that there are not enough changes that a CC gets to warrant a CA They are just cursed descendants vs an actual CREATURE (Mori, Drazi, Ghoul) keep it as a feat There is nothing stopping that from being tracked on a FA

Are you including or excluding sprites from BH in this amendment? Considering that's a large part of druid utility.

dont crp

its jover void bros, pack it up.... in all seriousness I understand the intent of the decision, it just sucks for timezones sometimes.

if you want to nerf them make them like scion like the other people said

wait is it not the norm to spawn in an elf at the age of 20 cuz that’s what I’ve been doing oops

Kinda have to disagree about the BH necessity, and I do think BM druids should be considered in the context- As Delmo said they are ~half the population of treelords right now. I mean considering Mori (TRUE fae) can learn BM without any drawbacks, is it really a stretch here for something that's demi-fae?

Feral rarely bothered to interact with most these days; The mentality of the 'ame and the border of her existence blended with that of the wilds till there was no separation. Running shifted through through snow-laden forests was her norm, heavy pads striking the ground with every stride. Cries of pain from the song were not uncommon anymore. The Druids were in strife, and splintered. Slowly devouring one another. It was a bitter, familiar sensation at this point. Yet this one was different. The screams of discord forced her to a stop, keeping her frozen in place as she felt her heart tore asunder. With this profound sadness, she felt what could only be described as a faint tether snap. A bond severed. It did not have to be said. She knew. So she howled, crying out in pain, in anger, in sadness. And the wilds howled with her, a harrowing song of mourning piercing through the land.. Farewell, Scoria.Until we meet again in the Eternal forest.

One lonesome Heleda skimmed upon the missive and promptly crumbled it without a second thought. She would not subjugate herself to a second Xalythi order- especially not with those two at some of the highest positions. No, these appointments settled the matter of community for her; She would strike out on her own, independent. Excommicando or not, she needed this freedom at any cost.

I’m on the fence because it adds a layer of complication- there are already redlines about those specific magics, plus Voidal is more related to actual creatures made from the void vs those who practice it.

Old: ~= Interactions =~ Conduit of Nature’s Song Faerie Rings, being places with heavy concentrations of natural energies, can cause entities who enter them to forcibly resonate with such energies, the interpretation of which is commonly referred to as the ‘Song of Nature.’ Due to the inability for beings outside the Aspects influence to comprehend these energies, it can cause assorted effects on the minds of those subjected to something inherently incomprehensible. These effects, while incapable of causing lasting harm, greatly impact the senses and thought processes of those exposed to them while being unable to understand them. This song provides a sense of serenity and peace to any Druid that listens to it, while the unattuned are typically greeted with a strange, indecipherable noise accompanied by an onset of disorientation and dizziness on par with inebriation. Some individuals may enjoy the feeling of being disorientated and may end up sitting in a ring for some time, unable to pry themselves away from the song should they become too sluggish. Sprites, while able to travel back and forth between realms, are able to withstand and understand the strange droning song that emits from a Faerie Ring, for they are purely Fae. Demi-fae creatures, such as Epiphytes, are able to withstand the song without being disoriented - however, it is still uncomfortable to hear. Should those of Undead origins enter a Faerie Ring, they would feel a sense of hollow unease - as if their absence of life is clashing with the very essence of the Ring. Practitioners with Unmodified Souls of otherwise Corruptive or Dark Magics will find themselves being able to experience the Faerie Ring as if they were mere unattuned mortals. Creatures of Undead, Dark, or Voidal origins would feel an intense scrutiny on top of the disorientating effect, culminating in a horrid sense of nausea. Voidal machinations and creations would immediately feel wholly unwelcome, with the song growing into a deafening uproar to assail the senses. The noise from within would be disorientating enough to prevent casting anything other than druidic magics. Any attempt to cast nefarious magics that may harm nature within a Faerie Ring would be met with absolute rage and anger roaring at them, accompanied by a sickening malaise - making it impossible to continue. Golems, being artificial entities with no soul nor organic matter, are unaffected by faerie rings and do not experience anything while within them. Redlines ➤ The standard mental affliction of hearing the song of nature within a Faerie Ring to an average unattuned descendant is one of heavy disorientation. ➤ Non-druids / Non-sprites will be unable to decipher and or understand the song in any way. ➤ Playable entities who must respect these interactions are categorized as follows: ~ Dark Origins - Moroi, Corcitura, Naztherak (Revealed Form), Zar'ei ~ Undead Origins - Necromancers, Ghouls, Darkstalkers, Draugrs, Liches, Wights, and Spectres/Apparitions/Poltergeists ~ Voidal Origins - Atronachs, Yisar, and Voidstalkers ➤ Those who are not Druids, Epiphytes, or Sprites will struggle to cast magic within a Faerie Ring due to the mental interference of the song. ➤ While in dire situations, such as combat, the mind becomes pre-occupied with survival and stops attempting to interpret the song of nature. This alleviates most mental interference and disorientation, allowing individuals to move normally and utilize magics once again. ➤ The mental effects of being in a Faerie Ring will never cause permanent afflictions nor be fatal, and will disappear once the individual steps outside of the circle. ---------------------------------------------- New: Conduit of Nature’s Song Faerie Rings, being places with heavy concentrations of natural energies, can cause entities who enter them to forcibly resonate with such energies, the interpretation of which is commonly referred to as the ‘Song of Nature.’ Due to the inability for beings outside the Aspects influence to comprehend these energies, it can cause assorted effects on the minds of those subjected to something inherently incomprehensible.

Do you have some parameters so that there is a known range to work with? It's very difficult to understand why some colors = okay vs not okay.

Just curious, how does it determine if something is too dark/bright? Playing around with this, there have been some colors that seem like they're about on par as some default colors but then get shot into much desaturated tones. Like this is nowhere the same color.

Most people here have given pretty standard responses- I don't think anyone besides maybe one or two (you know who I mean here) have given responses that are harsh or are rude. Just because someone is a younger, does not bar them from criticism, though in general we should strive to be at least amicable and polite.

I think if people are driven off the server by Empire RP, they probably would have left at some other inconveniencing RP too. And maybe that's for the better? If it bothers you that much on a fundamental level, it's okay to step back.
