The pale and horned holy templar was surprised by such notice! She started to wonder if she was a dark creature herself. "THANA! FETCH ME SOME SALT! I AM AN EVIL DARK HAG NOW!" She screamed for her cursed naztherak pupil.  They needed to deal with this right now! @Heart_Spam

You’re locked out of only the two most deranged deities and that’s it. You can take ANY other deific magic, you can’t just can’t take the super holy purging evil ones. Malchadiael and Xan are ones that would purge cities if it led to their goals, a singular offspring of Moz Strimoza is not worth their time connecting.

 

This stops a singular avenue of roleplay of not being a Templar, and it’s very justified as to why they’d say no. People say “Devils” aren’t “Demons”. But they are influenced and melded physically by Moz Strimzoas influence (and Ixris). They aren’t immortal ladder climbers, but they are something where these deities can be picky about their followers.

 

 

it’s fine to not be able to play karlach reclassed as a paladin. Make that part of your roleplay, and it normally means that those entities will slowly edge towards being evil from discrimination and that creates much more roleplay than letting you play a tiefling so u can be cute and have horns.

 

 

(And if people argue that the world is not cruel, remember that all elves and dwarves that don’t align themselves to a deity end up in permanent purgatory in the ebriates)

 

 

I'll have to tell you that the archetype of a tielfling paladin or cleric has been there prior to Baldur's Gate 3. Karlach has nothing to do with what people would like to do. Making "those" entities edge towards being evil due to discrimination doesn't really offer more roleplay other than pushing the theme into one niche that someone else wants; it offers a straight and direct line. One narrative, and that's all. You could say there are other ways to approach it, but we know these "different" ways are just small flavors and doesn't change a lot. Giving more RP opportunities would be a chance for the "devil" to actually prove on a soul-level that there is redemption, giving them a choice that can end up even in failure, but at least there was an attempt; at least it wasn't a red-line on a post blocking them; they failed and must live up to this. Forcing people on a path because you think it's right does not offer "more roleplay." It just tires out people who play x thing, as we've seen so many times.

No one has talked about being "a cute tielfling" without consequences. There are already enough consequences, as they are of little to no benefit. They are literally just normal people with mutations, and now their roleplay is being limited to only a few places for the recent happenings with some nations alraedy being so difficult to get involved with a normal character. Hence, forcing them to go through the average dark mage mentality is not helping. Which again, it's an "IC-ISSUE" but it is to consider nonetheless. Reasons can be easily made for some gods to accept them regardless of their behavior (I may have mentioned some in my post). Lore should be something fun to interact with, not some barrier behind a wall of text that must remain stagnant. Lore can change if the people behind it want to. We've seen so many times how certain redlines or lore pieces are properly ignored for fun in certain circustamances, whilst being given a good reason of course. I do not see the problem if a cursed child has not interacted with spooky stuff, shown their worth, and so on... been given an opportunity. Heck, even removing their curse through a divine connection could be worthwhile. In the end, these cursed children are not a programmed NPC for someone to control to follow a precise route.

Obviously, I'm talking about those born with it. Not those turned into one. All in all, I do understand what you're saying, but I realized that in the end, I'm just playing Minecraft roleplay, and all I want to do is have fun rather than build strict paths for other people. I used to criticize others a lot for what they do and their RP, if they didn't follow the norm (while I myself was extremely bad roleplayer in the past), but then I asked myself; why do I care if they don't harm anybody, and isn't anything crazy that breaks the aesthetic of the server? Perhaps, I simply don't see what's up in the background and the bigger picture. So, I could be wrong or I could be right, I don't know. I'm just a small brain dude.

This is a genuine question since I've been given a odd response. Why don't spirits or aspects care? Since the cursed child's soul is tained and claimed by another entity? What is your view on that? (I apologize for the whole yapping of text.)

Firstly and foremost, I would like to say that only in LOTC you have things like tieflings being utterly complicated for some reason. This way of making things isn’t always fun, especially if you put in some restrictions that don't add layers, just walls. If x god is like that, it isn't because the god chose it. If x god does y, it isn’t a decision of its own, but the people behind it. Also, if the cursed children's marks get removed through a divine connection, I don't know why some gods wouldn’t take advantage of it. It’s a way to cuck Ixli. After all, if they are connected to a deity magic, after their death the mark of Ixli does indeed get removed. Hence, the x god's domain claims it, no?

Secondly, you can say, MUUH, IT'S A CONSEQUENCE OF BEING A CURSED CHILD. However, you are simply a normal dude with mutations without things in-between, and you may still learn druidism and shamanism, but they aren’t the same. I don't understand why only templarism was taken down, though. This is a fantasy server; it's not unusual that people want to play Paladins Tieflings, or similar things lmao. Okay, magic doesn't define our characters as per usual, but these magics are goals, and again, this is a fantasy server. Don't be surprised if people want magic for their characters or some more common archetypes that only LOTC is against.

Furthermore, this lore has been around here for a while, and for months I have been planning things with another person's character (who is a cursed child) to make them become a templar and step away from dark stuff. Now, all these months of progress have been thrown into the bin by one simple red-line, which I and this person found out through a discussion in a private discord, and now our IC stuff is just "I cannot do that."  Magic may not be what defines a character, but it could be the final journey for someone since all this server has to really offer is either magic or nation RP.

Sure, you can say whatever consequences you want, but this Redline wasn't here before, and again, these dudes aren't demons or have incredible powers. 

Plus, I can say that ST should actually let people choose rather than enforcing tiny things, such as the curse getting removed if they get connected to precise magic and the like. The implented redline doesn't really add to anything, it only furthers the narrative that these tieflings should be all evil and away from holy-esque magic rather than giving them an opportunity to show they are worthy of a holy blessing. It could've been something more dynamic, such as the tiefling proving their worth to x god or something. Something that drives them further into that path and gives character development, because these lore pieces should be pushing the character on a path of development and not being another target to kill IC because they have horns.

These are my 2 cents. That red line is just limiting. You have such a FA with little to no advantages, impossible to cure (when it should have a cure), that’s barred to the most common of fantasy (dnd) archetypes.

"WHY IS MY PUPIL ON THE LIST, RAAAGH!" Screamed did a elderly templar woman in her manor as she fell from her chair like a fool.

"How dare THEY call my grandiose lord, a bandit?! We shall respond to this istantly Minas-Sama!" The hag-like Oyashiman ferociously waves her hands, she was utterly shocked by this claim! Soon after, she ventured to look out for her teacher. "My evil masterplan shall begin. I will steal all of their housepets or something."

(Good post btw! I am on the phone, so I apologize for the format).

"Paladins..." A soldier of Amathine and templar mumbled beneath her breath. "Lizard people..." She continued to grumble like a old woman inside her manor. 

A certain Oyashiman whose gaunted and horrific body dwelled away from civilization crept a smile. Wherever she was, she knew that her teacher, Minas-sama would ascend and show them all how they were mistaken. Alas, it was not her time to witness his unholy glory. Not yet.

"Church people don't want us to be happy?!" Ava commented, not quite knowing the true meaning of the word for she thought it merely meant happy, or rather, another word that meant happy. Alas, she was a old-head and knew not of such meanings! Regardless, she cared naught of whatever happened around. She'd continue to be happy with her not!fiancée.

"HAUS! WHAT!?!" Said Ava Ranaleth, very surprised. "Wait no, perhaps I should not trust the rumors and letters of some strangers." Quickly did she change her mind but with her focus landing upon the fact someone had made public knowledge some tactics. For sure, a certain darkspawn will be enjoying this.

An Elder known as Ava Ranaleth who thought briefly about Lanre's regard, smiled. He was a free-spirit who did whatever he wanted to achieve his goals and protect his people, no matter the sacrifice or if he were to look evil. That's something she respected, he was the only Cerusil she did not see as futile. Alas, with his departure(if rumors were true), she had lost a possible rival or a worthy fighter to challenge one day, that brought her sadness. 

"Stand proud, Lanre Cerusil. You were strong."

The Elder whose name was Ava Ranaleth took notice of the news of her kind. She had a plain and steady gaze at that. A yawn followed suit before rolling her shoulders. 

"No, thank you." 

She waved a hand, uttering one sentence outloud in her manor. She tilted her back within her seat only to watch the show from afar.

[!] A fine parchment was delivered by a steel-owl Automaton only upon the government of the silver city and the leaders of Kaethul. Furthermore, to every other government member of Amathine.

Salution, as a representative of the Crown, I write to express my concern over an attack made onto my soldier and heir of the Ranaleth family by your Maheral in Kaethul, allegedly because she was an inferi, which is not true. While explaining her case, she pleaded for peace and no bloodshed, but your Maheral refused to listen; he attempted to attack her and expressed how he desired to organize a group to hunt her down. This, WE cannot stand. Thana Ranaleth is a prideful soldier of Amathine and soon-to-be templar after my ascension. Your Maheral has attacked an innocent, an ally, and a friend. We know well of his self-mental urges, which often led him to kill children who had horns or looked differently. Nonetheless, we don't tolerate this kind of behavior.

However, I have to clarify that the majority of people in Amathine are druids– some have horns and claws, yet they are not Inferi. Nevertheless, they fight for life balance like you do to banish darkness and wickedness. Our patience has reached our limit but we are not barbarians, we are upholder of peace first and foremost. Henceforth, we invite the Sohaer to come to our land and discuss a suitable outcome, we will not accept NO as a response. Please, this time don’t come in Amathine with an entire army. It’s not needed.

For the people of Kaethul, we extend our gratitude unto you. We have heard of what your merchants have done to protect Thana Ranaleth. Our anger is not directed to you. Regardless of such facts, I, Ava Ranaleth alongside Thana will be pleased to talk with your Overlord on behalf of Idril. Thank you.

"I feel a disturbance in the cosmos." Said Ava Ranaleth, eyeing the horizon from her manor. She will not be the one approaching whatever or whoever stood from the other side. Yet.

we got mr passive aggressive over here damn!! u left out some important details about that event, but complaining about evil st doesn’t work when this mart has a redline inviting the st to **** with them pffffrp

 

 

 

 

I wasn't trying to sound passive aggressive lol, I apologize if that came off that way. I was trying to give you an insight on why Silver may understand how to play another character as your initial statement was he had to "move on"; and it wasn't even a huge complaint, it's really what happened, isn’t it? His character doesn't have a soul, whether it's his fault or not, that’s a fact. Right?

Unless he got it back and I didn't know about it. I don't know where your aggression comes from as I don't think I said something offensive towards you or st and went like "ST BAD BIG EVIL".

Whatever this Mart is legetimate or not-- it isn’t my business, I was saying him trying to do it in a fancy way isn’t really bad, i just cannot see the wrong in it to just try.

just make a new character man it’s ok to move on

I think Silver knows how to make a new character since his first one got his soul stolen in a ST event and consequently, preventing him to have any magic/dropping the ones he had. Furthermore, I think he has also other characters.

He knows it's ok to move on(perhaps more than me). If he's attemping to drop out from something he doesn't enjoy anymore in a fancy way, I don't see any wrong in trying. Moreover, if he still enjoys playing The Delmar. 

Remove all of my previous students btw, they have all ranked up t5

Here we go again. As per usual, remove my students please as they have all reached t5.

"He did it..." Ava mumbled, surprised about the outcome.

no!

"Better late than never, the star's walls shall not fall. I hope the common peasant shall thrive under this decision but I ponder If such a scar can be healed and that conflict will no more be sought." Ava Ranaleth commented in her manor within Amathine. Nevertheless, she seemed more at ease hearing that innocent elven lives will not be put at stake and that her former home will be rendered to ashes. Finally, there was peace betwixt the stars.

[!] A missive was shared within the Ranaleth's manor and likewise, an automaton was ordered to bring this response over to the the Py'lrie's halls and only to them, and unto the Sylvaeri's family too. In addition, such a mechanic would offer several sweets and culinary gifts of excellent chiefship for the Py'lrie.

"Greetings, Py’lrie family,

"It brings us great joy to heed your announcement, and we fully respect your stance on this. We deeply admire your decision to uphold your convictions and will of fighting for the causes you believe in, and most of all being a bulwark of honor for your family's name, regardless of what may happen. Whether your family resides in Celia'nor or elsewhere, rest assured that you are not deemed our enemy; for I, Ava Ranaleth yet remember what Rosina did for me, and what I did for her. Moreover, we hold no resentment towards most of the people who remain there as long as our family and Idril remain untouched.

The Ranaleth Clan has no hatred toward your decision not to support our movement, we understand the reasoning. Furthermore, we recognize that this outcome is mutually beneficial for both of our families as we dwell far away from each other. I regret the delay in reaching out to Irelia; however, I, Ava Ranaleth was informed by a whisper from a bird that our pact was being used as a scapegoat by external forces that had no word or control over our family deals and pact. Hence, the situation was pretty rough on our end. Nevertheless, We have not written back to prove anything whatsoever for our intent is to be sure that our families may live in a distant peace. 

Thereby, the Ranaleth clan accepts without issue the voidance of "The Utopia Pact" and wishes the Py'lrie family to prosper in their eternal elven lives in Celia'nor. We beseech you all to be careful around the conflict of this war and seek us out, If you all may ever need assistance of any kind, or clarification of our choice. We shall be in Amathine; no harm shall come unto you in the lands of Malin, If you would ever think to visit us. That, we promise. Blessed be your path and may our families continue to shine.
