    Hey guys its Southeron - also known as Licorish. Not sure if this is allowed but here goes. Wanted to introduce to you guys this project I was working on, music of about 5-6 genres I'm sure you guys would love! Be sure to like and comment your thoughts.My influences are Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator, Lauryn Hill, Isaiah Rashad, Outkast, and Sabrina Claudio.

The 'Give and Take' system sounds like a handicap for either new or unimaginative role-players. For most characters it isn't that hard to imagine real-life versions of them and decipher what bonuses they'd have in a battle. There's literally pictures and example for most situations - we see the same or similar beings in most fantasy settings whether it be in books, media, or here. To ignore a characters innate skills or bonuses in turn for this childish system would literally break roleplay, I think it's definitely time to mature and accept that you win some and you lose some. If you wouldn't face the Rock in real life, your character should think before challenging someone who obviously has the upperhand in combat - and if they do decide, you should come to terms with your characters situation.

Enchanter magic archetypes are always nice, but I'm unsure whether this is the right way to go about implementing one. It seems evident that the magic was taken into consideration first, before the Aengul, and I don't really see the point in writing an entire deity for the sake of legitimising a magic.

You're right to assume the magic was written before the actual deity, but they were actually written originally without relation to eachother. The deity was written in 2018, starting as a hive-minded daemon who obsessed over forcing solidarity - I stopped going through with it because Tayl already existed, but now after coming back from hiatus I totally overlooked that fact. I still think that Segradien is quite different than Tayl and could contribute to roleplay as an Aengul . The magic however, started as a voidal support magic and was drafted not too long ago. Starting as a voidal magic, it was very difficult to explain so I simply edited the lores in attempt to tie them together. It became confusing either way though, so I believe I'd do better writing with others Though this is probably not going to be accepted, I think having a support type magic without a focus on healing could bring alot to roleplay and give us a well-rounded fantasy 'party' type feel.

wtf even are these arbitrary number modifiers. they make no sense and the lore dosnt even explain as to what they are supposed to be used for. Iblees isnt dead either 

Sorry, I’ll see if I could format it in a less confusing way. The number modifiers can be hard to document, however I’m not sure of any other way to really document the progress. Basically, the buff multiplies your stat by that number, influenced by D&D though I’m not sure how effective the system would be here. Assuming most people in role play go by a stat system, at tier 1 you’d be 0.3x stronger meaning that if your strength is around 15 it’d raise to 19.5 and so forth and so on.

I feel like a lot of these buffs are going to be abused as the lore currently stands, I myself am not a fan of large buffs without a difficulty at receiving the magic/casting the spell, or having very large drawbacks in return. 

I do agree, I tried to piece the drawbacks in a way that would force the players reliance on one another IRP. Since they cannot use the magic on themselves, only being able to use it on certain people. I believe the risk of the curse serving to debuff them would also make casters more picky with who they choose to get the magic to. Thanks for the input though, this is my first magic type-lore so I think this’d only serve to better me as a lore writer.

This uh... this is certainly something. I think.

 

Ultimately a very confusing piece, with a lot of nonsensical number modifiers and terminology, as well as some, if I may be frank, wack redlines. 

 

 

Wat?

 

On the topic of redlines, I do notice a... rather hefty lack of them in regards to abilities and the like, and combined with the vague wording of said abilities, I think the potential for abuse here is pretty high. I can see the idea you had here, but I feel that the execution fell flat and that the lore will likely be dead on arrival when the ST look in the general direction of it.

 

I feel that the concept may have had some merit to begin with, but in its current iteration, this doesn't genuinely offer anything to contribute to the overall narrative/story of the server as a whole, as Yeu or Shamanism might. This is just... a set of permanent buffs for whoever the caster's friends are, with a new Aengul to match it. 

 

I think that this is decent for what is seemingly one of your first lore posts in a hot minute, but it falls flat from where I stand. For the future, I think I'd advise looking at some of the other lores for inspiration and a general guide on how to format and such, as well as do some research beforehand. There is already an Aengudaemon of Companionship; Tayl.

The buffs are not permanent, only being active when the companion is in sight of the mortal. Aside from that I think this is a very helpful comment that highlights the inconsistencies, so thanks!

Oh I forgot to add!

Tier Progression : 

T1 - Able to choose 1 buff, and have 1 companion. (Cost about 5 emotes to imbue a buff on someone)(Buff modifier x0.3)

T2 (2 - 4 weeks) - Able to have 2 companions now. (Cost about 4 emotes to imbue a buff on someone)

T3 ( 1 - 2 months) Able to have 3 companions. (Cost about 3 emotes to imbue/change a buff on someone - gained another stat and the 'Sensory Swap' spell which requires 5 emotes)(Buff modifier x0.5

T4 ( 2 - 3 months) Able to have 4 companions[CAP] (Cost about 2 emotes to imbue/change a buff on someone)

T5 (5 - 6 months)  (Still cost 2 emotes to imbue/change a buff on someone,  gained the Ward spell which requires 5 emotes aswell as the Mana shift spell for 5 emotes)(Buff modifier x1.0)

The Mortals of Segradien

((PLEASE READ DEITY LORE SUBMISSION BELOW PRIOR TO READING THIS))

Origin

Segradien is the Aengul of Honor, Oaths, and Commitment. During the first war of Iblees, the Aengul Segradien held a personal grudge against Iblees - doing all they could to ensure that their brethren ended up executed for their traitorous actions. As such, they began to grant abilities to their followers to assist in their cause. their followers were not judged by whether they were good or evil - them seeing it as a eschewed concept, followers were instead judged on their deeds that brought honor to Segradien’s  name, the oaths they upheld to their brethren, and their commitment to their own companionships. Being a close to neutral Aengul, Segradien only granted their followers supportive and non-combative abilities, believing that power corruptifies mortals and as such, granting them combative power would bring corruption their being. Due to this, they were originally only able to grant blessings to their compatriots. After Iblees’ re-emergence however, Segradien split into two - half serving the Aenguls and half serving the Daemons, introducing the ‘Curses of Sulmaehr’, as the daemonic part of Segardian(referred to as ‘Sulmaehr’) began cursing many mortals. After Iblees defeat - Segardian was pressured by the Aengul Xan to compromise with their other half, on the condition that curses are only granted to followers whom dishonor their name.

Magic Explanation

Segradien granted their most devout of followers abilities to assist in their will - these abilities being dubbed Segradienism. To confirm their loyalty to their patron, the caster must site the Honorable oath with their own teacher after completing trials(chosen by the teachers themselves). The magic works only on certain individuals the caster is tethered to, dubbed 'companions' - to become a companion, you must create a blood oath with a caster to allow them to grant buffs on you. A caster is limited to how many companions they may have at a time. If an oath is broken, depending on the circumstances, either the caster or the companion will be cursed.

Segradien's Honorable Oath

“We, mortals of Segradien, shall bring honor to our name, uphold loyalty with our companions, hold true to our oaths blessed by our patron, and resist the darkness no matter how expansive - and whomever of us dare break this oath shall reap the curses of Sulmaehr.”

Mortals of Segradien(Casters)

As  a mortal cannot share collective conscious with an Aengul,  the blessed followers of Segradien are known as ‘Mortals of Segradien’ and can also be simply known as ‘Segradiens’. To become a mortal and gain the boons of Segradien, you must previously have been a companion and have  a teacher. Anyone with the capability of being a deital mage can become a mortal or companion of Segradien. As both parties are bound by oath, breaking it would inflict a curse on whoever is at fault.

Companion of Segradien

A companion of Segradien is someone who has done a blessed blood oath with a Mortal of Segradien, allowing them to be blessed by the Mortal’s boons - as such, someone who is not a companion will not be affected by the caster's blessings. A caster may gain 1 companion space each tier until tier 4, the only exception being  if the new companion is another caster. If a companion breaks an oath to their mortal - they would instead inherit the curse, the opposite of the boon granted to them.

Mortal Boons of Segradien

Buff modifiers - The Buff Modifier refers to how much a certain stat has been increased - and only raises twice. At T1, a stat increases x0.3 of its original standing, at T3 raising to x0.5, then finally by x1.0 at T5)

The Mortals of Segradien can grant buffs to certains stats of their companion(s) - being limited to 2 stats(1 at Tier 1, another at tier 3), these stats being either -

 Strength Buff  - The physical strength of a being, increasing  their force emitted and damage dealt during combat, aswell as other practical duties.

 Defense Buff- The defense of a being, effecting the damage they take from attacks during combat aswell as their balance amongst other practical duties. 

Agility Buff - The speed of a being, effecting their attack speed and stamina capacity - however, their reflexes shall remain the same amongst other practical duties.

Wisdom Buff - The innate knowledge of a being, effecting their willpower and increasing resistance against several illusionary abilities.

Extra Abilities :

Sensory Swap - The caster takes the pain of a chosen companion - though any injuries would still remain, the companion shall no longer feel the pain caused by them.

(CANNOT BE A WARD) (Gained a T3, requires 5 emotes)

Mana Shift - The caster transfers their own energy to a caster, risking strain and exhaustion.

(CANNOT BE A WARD) (Gained at T5, requires 5 emotes)

Warding Tier 5

At tier 5, a Mortal will now be able to grant a certain boon to any companion that steps within a certain 3 block radius - as decided by a previously drawn circle(It must be drawn on the ground, even if non-visible!). The boon their ward grants can overlap with any other personal buffs placed by the mortal. Their ward must constantly be focused on by a caster or it will immediately dissipate. Segradien Warding would require another MA.

(Only grants a x0.5 buff modifier)

Aengul of Honor, Oaths, and Commitment

(I DO NOT OWN THIS ARTWORK)

“Loyalty renders all weapons useless.”

Sigil - A large hive of light wisps forming into a circle.

Colors - Pink, Blue, White

Appearance

Segradien is the Aengul of Honor, Oaths, and Commitment, taking the form of a humanoid made entirely of light - having no face, or any other physical features for that matter. In reality however, Segradien's true form is an abundance of small beings made completely of light. They are binded together in absolute unison, the complete companionship; as such, their sex is unknown and they along with their followers refer to themselves collectively as ‘we’. It is generally accepted that Segradien is a hive-minded plethora of beings, some going as far as to say that each being is an Aengul in of itself - however these simply remain theories and speculation.

Origin

  Although considered a more neutral aengul, Segradien considers any being who disrespects their domain an enemy - that refers to oathbreakers, the dishonorable, and whomever betrays their own companion. As such, Segradien held a personal grudge against Iblees. Segradien is not a warrior, utilizing their power to only support their own companions - allowing them acute buffs and boons to assist them along their way.

During Iblees' first appearance, Segradien stayed alongside his fellow Aenguls in quelling the darkness - even going as far as to grant blessings to their mortal followers to assist in their fight. Segradien hoped that in the end, Iblees would face execution for his crimes against his brethren and the mortals - when this did not happen, Segradien felt betrayed and as such, felt torn between both the Aenguls and Daemons. Part of them felt that although Iblees had been halted and his threat vanquished, it was not enough to ensure lasting peace - while the other part felt that his imprisonment was enough.

Once Iblees appeared again on Aegis, the part of Segradien whom fell to be daemonic(referred to as ‘Sulmaehr’) had been weakened, only holding half the power of Segradien. As such, they were easily corrupted by Iblees and began to bestow curses upon the mortals. These curses rendered the blessings of Segradien worthless, causing many casualties to their followers. After Iblees was defeated again, Sulmaehr was cured of their corruption - however, they strove to allow the cursing of their own followers lest they brought dishonor to Segradien by breaking their codes. They remained torn for centuries until  pressured by Xan, the Aengul of Order to compromise by implying that the Aenguls would try them collectively for the crimes of Sulmaehr.

“Thou hath become torn, dishonorable - no longer holding the standing you once had. Such mortal acts have caused disorder amongst our kin, as Iblees had done. As a collaborator of Iblees, you shall be tried collectively should this feud continue for a century longer.”

-

Xan, the Aengul of Order

And as such, Segradien pledged an oath to themselves - cursing followers whom dishonor their name and blessing those whom work devoutly in their favor. Should this promise be broken(in the case they exemplify anyone from these terms), Segradien shall forfeit their existence entirely.

Domain

The domain of Segradien, called 'the Garden of Magni', is a quite simple domain, as it is infact inspired by the Creator himself! It is a bountiful island in the middle of what seems to be an endless galaxy full of celestial bodies. Segradien is a large follower of the creator, adoring the way these celestial bodies and the life which inhabits them work in cooperation with one another - an incomparable peace that mortals can only dream of. It is said that those believers granted blessings by Segradien during life are granted everlasting peace within the garden after death.

“It is a shame, to die so quickly after a marriage...” Erasto sighed, pondering over his cousins untimely death before he concluded “Hmm..A venomless serpent is a dead one, as they say..”

A public letter has been posted around the city of Thyra, though its format resembles that of a personal one. It reads :

To my daughter, the Heiress of the Southeron and Seyam, Carawelo.

                                As I grow older, and the chance of me wedding a woman of my liking and attaining a son decreases, I find myself thinking more of you – my precious daughter. The thought of you brings me to remember a story my father once told me, of the only woman to ever publicly embarrass him and for a moment, to strike fear into his bold heart. During the Elven-Orkish wars in which we fought alongside our orcish brethren on the previous continent, the dwed were a common face to see – a friendly one. There was one instance he recalled, after a battle at a fort named ‘Strong’, in which he met the leader of these men – a woman. He described her as a woman of ashen skin like coal, but eyes of a flame that kept contained unless she had willed it. She spoke of her magical prowess – and naturally, as a practitioner as well, my father felt inclined to challenge her. Of course, this challenge was protested by the Orks – and after a barrage of insults, they had agreed to a simple arm-wrestle. My father was a man whom had protected Kings, both human and non-human – he was a man whom had battled creatures never before seen on this land. Yet, not only did he lose, but he had momentarily fractured his arm, his spirit, his pride, and his ego. It was through this lesson, a gift of wisdom and humility from the Dwarven High Queen, that he was shown the might a woman may attain, to become an elected queen and rival the strength of generals. Now, I do admit that the legitimacy of this story remains questioned, however fact or fiction – it does fill your old father with excitement for your reign. If you are to reign, that means that I have passed on to Semayata. This means that your reign should be powerful enough to shake the heavens, I will that you shall rule as the Queen of Kings – and if this be a dream, then make sure that you pass this dream onto your children as I have done to you. When in doubt, remember the story of the ‘Dwarven High Queen’ and the dream of your father.

Adellhallyu

Sincerely, Erasto I

“This is the most interested I’ve been in this war. This, I tell you, is the climax of the story! Wageni!” Erasto said after reading the missive, a smile on his face

8 Negesitati, 1753

It is on this blessed day in the light of Alaha that we, the Crown of Southerainty, declare the creation and vindication of the Southeron Calendar. This newly issued calendar serves primarily  to give homage to prominent Southeron ancestral entitie and to serve as a replacement of the common calendar for all Southeron domains - granting us a time system of our own language.

The months of the year are as follows :

Sun’s Smile - Semayata Ambineti

The Amber Cold - Ghan ina Mel

The Deep Cold - Negesitati

Snow’s Maiden - Azolu’eti

Malin’s Welcome - Valgariyin’ia

The First Seed - Khonma’mene

The Grand Harvest - Ein Darapo

ሪጋSigned in the name of His Illustrious Majesty, Erasto I of the Sulynèan Dynasty, Ras of Thyra, Suldaan of the Southeron and Seyam.

“Such blasphemy will not be tolerated on any level.” Erasto would say with slight rage “My bloodline will not be forsaken with such defectiveness. She has named grand cities in insult, and decided to do this before her own marriage – this is self-sabotage.” He concluded, crumbling up the paper with irritated grunts

To my noble courtier, Mardochi Musē ag Hinseli, I send you this letter casually in hopes it will find you well.

From your own personal valiant efforts, you have amassed a title amongst your people. However, although your name is renowned,  you have not wed – which is the first step to building yourself a legacy. The common dream of all men is to be known by people long after you’ve died. The only way to fulfill that dream as mortals is through stories, however these stories cannot be told in their sincerity by someone who is not your blood. Upon your demise, your titles would be disposed and all your efforts would have been in vain, you would have no children to continue your legacy whatsoever. To alleviate this worry, I have contemplated on ways to establish a closely knit union between our two dynasties without making you a one-sided offer, and so  – I have decided to offer you this. As marriage is the purest form of union, granting us lawful procreation in the light of Alaha – I shall offer you the hand in marriage of a blood relative – Zuwena Maridhia Kiros ag Sulynè, who in relation to me is my first cousin once removed. Of course, if you are to accept this – you’d have to give a dowry to show her father Kiros that you are a pious man. I am the patriarch of our royal house, however I do not believe in giving away the purity of another man’s daughter without their knowledge, even if we are blood. After all, I must set an example for those who succeed me aswell as my fellow courtiers. If you are to accept, send word back to me and I will summon my cousin Kiros for your request. I will, of course, speak to my once removed cousin shortly after sending this letter to you – she has been eager to wed so I don’t doubt she would be ecstatic towards my recommendation. May you find nothing less than serenity and everlasting grace in the light of Alaha.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Sincerely, Lra Suldaan Erasto I

8th of the First Seed, 1753

It is on this blessed day in the light of Alaha that we, the Crown of Southerainty, declare a reformation of the Seyami Jassinissa council. Due to the steady rise in corruption, organized crime, and the recurring inactivity of our standing  government, our Suldaan has seen fit to install a new Jassinissa that is sure to enforce a degree of variety, grant more power to the lower stratum of Southeron society whom are affected the most by these negative traits, and to re-activate our standing government.

This reformation enforces the following amendments to the Crown Council and it’s associated roles :

፩.The Jassinissa is, henceforth, to be considered a separate entity from the Suldaan’s advisory roles - with the exception of the Taezzaz.

፪.The Taezzaz will now be an elected role, with the following clarifications:

-All confirmed citizens of the Medri Negasi of Seyam are eligible to vote.

-This elected official shall serve a quinquennial term of 5 years, however there is no limit on the amount of times one official may be elected. 

-The Taezzaz will remain a dual role - serving both as the Suldaan’s advisor  and a Jassinissan councilman. 

-All citizens above the age of 15 years old may be elected as the Taezzaz.

፫ .The Jassinissa will now encompass the representatives of each and every seignorial house that is vindicated by an acting Suldaan, these representatives being chosen by that houses Matriarch or Patriarch - who may also serve as council representatives for their houses.

፬. A Suldaan may, through vindication, grant a House membership on the Jassinissan council - however he does not hold the power to revoke said membership. This membership shall only be voted off by the remaining council members.

ሪጋSigned in the name of His Illustrious Majesty,  Erasto I of the Sulynèan Dynasty, Ras of Thyra, Suldaan of the Southeron and Seyam.

After the publication of this reformation, letters has been personally sent to the Jassinissan members installed by these new laws, the letter reads :

“To my newly imposed councilmen, I send to you this letter.

                                                       As the reformation begins, it is necessary that you choose a bloodline representative to represent you on my Crown Council. For the Sulynean dynasty, I have chosen my heiress – Carawelo Erasto ag Sulyne – to represent my houses interests on the council. Once you have chosen your own, send word to me right away so we can begin council procedures to contribute to this reformation. 

                                                                                                                         Sincerely, Lra Suldaan Erasto I “
