[!] The Stormbreaker Captain would come upon this missive in a simple tavern near a small port. He'd look out towards the docks and smiled looking at his Steamship. "A was sailing north... but A cannae deny an adventure w'en et 'its me en t'e face loike t'is." The captain would down the rest of the bottle of rum before starting to write a letter back to the Lord of Edenia.

Honestly liked the lore piece a lot but it didn't have any mentions on CA races like Epiphytes, Musin, Wonks, Hou-zi, Kha and Specters which makes me wonder if it's even something worthy of being reviewed.

I'll submit this to admins. Best of luck!

Thorano would read the missive within his smithy and smile. "Darek might need some blighted steel soon. Better get to work. We have some weeds to remove!"

"You know this wouldn't be happening if we had Alaric's railroads." a masked Glodite fanatic would tell anyone he'd cross paths with on the tavern.

Thordir:

Huh.

Think for the phase we are on the team is going to stay the same or have very small changes. As we advance from the initial phase more people will be invited to development team. Love you boss man great suggestions!

/hat I'm confused, doesn't everyone do this?

I see no credits @tgrt:P

Stardew Valley? Also can I merge with the waffle brains?

Okay so there are 2 main reasons regarding why the idea of RP in CT was disliked. 1st: In Arcas there was a lot of Spook RP taking place there abusing the whole "bubble of peace" thing cloud temple has to avoid consequences. 2nd: There was actually a significant % of activity in CT something between 5% - 10% While I think Cloud Temple is a significant aspect of the server I don't think not having it on the map is necessarily a detriment. If Cloud Temple is not on the main continent it can still hold important things like the tutorial islands, the memory garden, as well as different bits & pieces of the server's history. The current Cloud Temple is something we don't like either, cloud temple next map will learn from the issues caused by the Minigame Lobby feel it has on Almaris.

The particular CA has a 2 week grace period where one can revert their decision. Sometimes there are things set in place to avoid things like a player finding out they don't enjoy this CA Race or a player realizing they didn't want to PK their persona. At no point has this player been told they are not allowed to look for options or a cure through RP. They simply did not want to. Going as far as to try to get themselves blacklisted from the lore to avoid Roleplay. It's a cheap thing. Story team is just doing their job by having it so a persona that has been a plant for over 40 RP years doesn't just simply revert back with no lore explanation as to how. It'd be like an Azdrazi just suddenly saying, nah, I don't want to be a dragonboi and going back to being a regular descendant with no lore approved method of doing that. While the server is a place players come to have fun you don't simply walk into a RP server and choose to follow the rules that favor you and ignore the ones that don't.

One of the reasons we've waited this long to start development was to make sure 1.18 had the tools needed to tackle a project of the scale we wish to make this map for. Taking advantages of new features and blocks. Verticality is definitely something we'll be looking into.

An initial read has me really intrigued and hopeful. I share your sentiment of Holy/Divine Magics could go a long way in the server if given the chance. I really enjoyed your writing and found myself wanting to read it again. I feel like if accepted this lore piece has the potential of creating many interesting opportunities and RP scenarios. I look forward to interacting with a cleric of the stag in game. As soon as I read this I was a bit concerned. My opinions regarding lore written tenets pretty clear however I really like the way this piece addresses them with the following segment: My only real concern with the disconnection ritual stems from this portion here: As far as I know there is no other magic capable of doing this, but I'm not entirely sure what Taharie's domain or control over souls is in terms of power. While I understand the presence of most of the creatures or magics listed as Impure the mention of daemonic, Hou-zi, and Kharajyr confuses me. (More so Hou-zi and Daemonic) The state of the soul of the others should be significantly worse than that of a Kharajyr. And as far as I was aware Hou-zi's souls were not manipulated by Metztli they are just smart monkeys. Regarding Daemonic influence, would this come from a hatred on behalf of Taharie on her daemon brothers and sisters? As far as I'm aware the title of aengul or daemon is not necessarily an equivalent of good and evil / holy and dark. Additionaly, wouldn't the curse ingrained by Ibless in the soul blueprints of every descendant have a similar signature to that of Metztli's meddling with a Kharajyr? I'll go over the rest of the piece and add comments as I read. I feel like it might be important to include how this spell might affect Seers, would a seer flinch or be blinded as well? Could this spell be used to hunt seers & expose their ability to see leading to to their disconnection (?) I feel like in this particular spell its important to redline how would this spell affect a dark mage / azdrazi, would they get healed as well? Or would the light of Taharie reject the subject its meant to heal. (I really don't want to see a Cleric healing a dragon just cuz they are their friend/lover. What would happen if more than one cleric were to try and cast this spell on a patient? Would it simply not work? Would the light of Taharie harm them? What happens within the patient to reject this spell? I really like this spell there are only 3 questions that come to mind when I read it. 1st: Would a physical attack of a dark mage be ignored as well? Or would the veil allow for example: a khor blade through? 2nd: Would a creature created by dark magics feel any effects if they cross the barrier or stand within it? Or would the barrier keep them outside? 3rd: Would the ward start working after the preparation emote? Would the duration start once the spell has been completed or as soon as the ward is set up? Like this particular spell a lot, a small question comes up when I read it though. Are these visions something that can be conjured about anyone? Or does this require a cleric knowing the target is a dark mage or an "impure". Can anyone be subject to being revived this way? Even people who die to PK clauses? (I know there is a list of cases in the redlines but I feel like there are some redlines missing) Might be useful to add clear bulletpoints or redlines to this segment, for example will it take 3 months / 12 weeks to reach T5 regardless of the not knowing any spells Are these spells something the cleric learns from a teacher? Or is the knowledge of them something they acquire through visions given to them by Taharie?

Don't know why the first thing that came to my mind as soon as I opened this post was this... oh wait I do know why...

A dwarf would gaze into the fires in front of him as one of the recruits told him the news. "STONES TAKE T'EM STONES TAKE EM ALL!" he'd curse dissapointed as he threw a prototype for a new Arcane invention into the flames. The descandant of Urguan would stand there for a while, looking at the fire, thinking of Draakopf. Thinking of how dwarves had failed their Doomforged brother "We 'ave truleh failed, t'e ideals o' t'e Ulra' bullies 'ave taken over w'atever t'at abomination t'at calls etself t'e Grand Kingdom es. T'ey slay eac' ot'er, an t'ey drive out those who follow the old ways, they ignore the real threats and focus on playing a game of politics t'at makes em look loike umre' . T'a Obsidian T'rone needs a real dwarf carrying t'e weight o' t'e crown nae just muscle willeng tae s'ed t'a blood of 'is brot'ers and sisters indiscriminitely." then the khazadmar turned once more to face the recruit, an uncomonly cold expression taking over his face "Call 'im, sae et be urgent, sae we need o 'is wisdom now more than ever." he'd instruct the recruit, sending him off towards the chambers of an ancient dwarf, grabbing a seed from his Ashwood Tree and planting it in the name of Draakopf "Mae t'e Brath look 'oighleh upon ye son o' Urir an mae t'is tree grow as big as yer dreams" He would look at the other Ashwood trees and with a grin he'd add. "A'll brew sum booze wort'eh o' yer foireh nature. A'll send et to yer clan as soon as et be done."

As the Aureon Ranger returned home from the last expedition to the Hollow by Miven's side he'd go back to his duties. 'Tanila didn't give her life for us to mope and stop following the way.' He'd reason, trying to drown the guilt and urge to retreat into the broken husk within him. As the night fell the Wild Chief would train a newcomer, show them the ropes and thank Tanila for making that possible. The next day the Aureon would be nowhere to be found for he had set out on a simple sailboat filled with different supplies. He left early in the morning, headed towards the Ironwood Grove he had been working on. "I made you a promise sister. I will see it through. All Aureons will hear of you, your name shall be written in our songs. Your sacrifice and your wisdom shall be the pillars that keep strong the new generation." Thordir would put on his glove and start to plant the Hyssop seedlings around the Ironwood trees. "I will bring them home. They will know this place as Tanila's Respite. Narnsae ito iyl." He would then take out the Ironwood cutting and plant it by base of the largest mountains of the island it was the largest cutting he had ever seen, perhaps Tanila's Aureon sacrifice & spirit had blessed it. He got on the sailboat once more, headed back to the Vale, he'd look back at the island and smile. "Here, we will become Aureons. Here, we will become one of Elenwë. For Tanila" After returning home from a long day at the Ironwood Isle setting up the foundation of what would become Tanila's Respite the Ranger would head back to the main square. "I need to see Valmir, there are things to do and I can't do them like this." He'd say to the folk around him before heading towards the Arvellon's home.

I have some feedback I'll send via PMs regarding some very particular points of the post, but I really enjoyed the read and I hope this is the first of many to come 👌

While I agree there need to be some downsides to atronach limbs I believe this new redline would contradict a bit some of the attributes of certain atronach limbs. (Telekinetic ones if I recall correctly are focused on providing strenght to their user so going from being as strong as an orc / olog to not being able to wield a two handed weapon) I would also say that Golem limbs should not be used to compare as suitable options for prosthetic limbs. There is no real advantage to them. A scratch to their sigil renders them useless, they weight as much as stone, once damaged you need to either make the new golem limb start from a higher position in the limb or find a new type of limb. Same strenght as a descendant.

The Husk Chapter One: The decline The smell of wild hare meat being burnt above an open flame would fill the breezy night air as the low roar of the fire would drown the muted noises of the sleeping nature around the Aureon Ranger. However, his mind would be absent, his once proud hunter morale nowhere to be found as he ignored the smell of perfectly good food being wasted. The former wild chief would stare into the fire, his hands idly fiddling with one of the toys he had carved out of Ironwood for his daughter Yae’ven. He’d stare at the wooden shrike and sigh. What was wrong? The mali had achieved many of his goals but he felt empty… A few seasons had passed since the last time he saw the mischievous grin of his daughter or was subject to one of the pranks planned by his wife. He was never one to smile much but back then he was happy, he felt whole, he had a purpose and a reason to keep going. That was no longer the case He’d stand up kicking some dirt towards the simple campfire and the now burnt hare meat. He was not hungry. He’d open the door to his new home, looking down towards the simple kitchen and the rooms meant for his family, the mali warrior would flinch, unable to head down there, that was not a home, it was but a husk of what it could’ve been. He would look at the wooden logs he had carved to make into a table, placing his cape over them and using it as a bed. That night his father’s voice came to him in his dreams, "It was then when darkness itself, Iblees, stood tall for one last time, letting out a hateful laugh before saying: "You mortals believe you can simply banish me from this plane and that my taint shall not last? I have touched this world with evil and it shall forever be part of the souls that inhabit it." Iblees turned to face Malin and with a swift statement he said "MALIN, father of Elves! I curse you with sterility, you and your kin shall forever lack the children they need. May your forest halls forever be silent, and your hearts heavy with sadness."" and with that Thordir woke up suddenly, sweating and looking towards the shadow. It was just a nightmare, a memory of his father telling him the tale of the four brothers, a kids tale. But those words struck deep, sending Thordir into a deep state of sadness as he tried to rest within his empty home. OOC: I’ve been writing a bit recently about some of the things going on with one of my characters. Thought it would be a good idea to share a bit of his development here. The content of this post is a bit old, and took place several months ago.
