I raise you one further. Remove Blood Magic. It's used to farm items and vampire players don't deserve anything nice since it's 2022 and they still haven't made an evil kingdom.

Nice. As for the Cloud Temple, I would just say keep it in the center of the map as it always is. Keep it sandstone-based like the Cloud Temples of old and have it attached to portal hubs if the map is too big. No farms or bar! I like the idea of adding regional lore for portions of the continent. Just sprinkle in ruins and provide guidelines to ET to foster stories in those areas. Archaeological sites and what not.

I think the concept is interesting and could be used by noble courts mostly. It can reduce meta by simply having a redline that states: "Transformative Magical Creatures (CAs) will render no discernable relation from the test." I would also reduce the complexity of the results and instead just have it be GREEN for related and RED for no relation. The only tricky part about this test would be testing rofl-characters that manifest suddenly and claim to be of some noble descent - who is to say who is legitimate and who is just an impostor? A possible solution to this would be to simply have it be a relation by 1 generation up and down (Grandparents, Parents, Child). This way, cousins and extended family will not come up for potential metagame. I think it would be funny to do Maury Povich RP amongst the elf community to see who the real baby daddy is.

The most schizo experience I've seen was a halfling continually misrepresenting and malding about a completely kosher RP scenario for months with the intent of appearing as a victim so that they could gain sympathy points from the ComicD fanclub. Am I shamelessly dogpiling like one of the bloodhounds from Chateau Cheverny? Yes.

Just say that enchantments give people temporary Voidal Degradation for the remainder of the RP. Either way, enchant spam OR plate armor will disappear for average players.

A cryogenically frozen Lector wakes from his slumber for but a moment, filled with an insatiable desire to click many a dragon man to death for daring to insinuate that they are owed any lewd Juli'el icon from his personal collection. He concluded that, for a moment, the greatest secret of all was that X*nnites do not have t*sticles to impart. He then returns to sleep.

Saint Robert Rovin blesses the edict from the Seven Skies, for the survival of the WALRUS was of the upmost importance. He who protects them can only be met with good fortune...

Orks at their best are Shrek RPers who don't take themselves too seriously- they do funny stuff for the hivemind. I've played roughly 9-10 years now and the only Ork I found memorable was Travista because he would go town to town on his donkey and just RP with people he encountered. Wowj currently embodies this and it's powerful. I think trying to make the Orks hyper serious was a flaw of recent leaderships because it is a massively steep learning curve for newer players to learn BLAH, Orkish culture AND all the dozens of dumb spirits which sound like gibberish. Orks should simplify themselves IMO and develop an aesthetic that isn't "grr evil ork spirit BRAPPAH yub da grizh" and just be a society of roaming low INT characters. Another thing that ruined Orks for me was the constant cycle of pvpers moving into Krugmar, winning rexdom, abandoning it, and then repeating. At the same time, this map the rper Orks took their conflict so seriously that it caused them to invite foreign fighters to fight their wars instead of just being an Orkish horde. It would've been so powerful had the Elysium war just been a 1v1. TL;DR Orks, IMO, will never be taken truly seriously and attempts to make them lore-oriented comes across as try-harding.

"Enfeebled lips spake these w'rds. Dominate thy bullies with thy own fists rath'r than vanishing mid duel! Balian must proveth itself w'rthy of the Dragon's sigil! Reclaim, Reclaim, Reclaim!" rants an undead terrorist!

"Why not p'rmit Balian to annex and reclaim their ancestral clay? Why divideth these lands betwixt Haense and Urguan, who w're not coequally wronged? Doest the Dragon not roar?" inquired an undead Horen loyalist. "Imp'rial remnants yielding to stouts and northmen, TRAGIC!"

An aged Lector neatly folds the essay upon his desk and files it with great organizational prowess. He then utters a structured, multi-paragraph tirade for none to hear, perhaps as a mental projection to the heavens above... "So many words, yet a meaningless message. It is admitted that Azdromoth had been corrupted by the Deceiver. To willfully serve a master who would seek ruin in exchange for magical, draconic powers is no better than any X*nite. In feigned despair they wonder why Mankind has rejected them, yet explain why such has to be so. The sons of Horen can not afford to pact with he who had cursed them, lest the lessons of the Brothers be forgotten. If one was so penitent and disappointed, they would have condemned and abandoned their wretched master long ago. The servants of the Dragon slither into the nations of Men because control ensures their survival. With domination, the flames of their egos are stoked because accepting any less would be an admittance of inferiority to mortal men. Asioth preaches freedom yet invites tyranny by entities who cannot be touched by mortal hands. The X*nites only grow in strength BECAUSE your kind will not leave this realm be. What use is a 'Holy' mage in a world where iniquitous beings do not reside? Do not feign kinship with mortal men when you have rejected your own humanity; WE DO NOT NEED YOU."

SEREMVS * DELENDA * EST AN OPEN LETTER TO THE HIGH PONTIFF YOUR HOLINESS; Throughout history, we of Horen’s blood have been tasked with the greatest trial of the descendant tribes. Where Eldar may observe the flow of time as a keen observer, we Men may only reference it through the monuments of our forefathers. Our bodies are enfeebled with each passing day, and our strength is inconsequential. It is nothing less than a miracle that our people have not succumbed to the wretched beasts of our world. We persist. We persist because Men welcome the challenge of the curse. Our lives are measured by the ambitions we possess and the merit by which we conquer adversity. The shortness of our lives forces us to seize the day, and to join our brother Man in the pursuit of a common goal. At Humanity’s best, we are united. As it stands, however, we are divided. Divided by rite, geography and politicks. It is in this division that ignoble scavengers have begun to stalk the splintered pack. They loom in the shadows and lick their chops in wait. With our backs turned and at greatest risk of the assassin’s plunge, they strike. They strike with cold and apathetic malice. To they, Humanity is not the legacy of our blood nor the depth of our character; rather, we have been reduced to dinner. In recent months, the good citizens of the Harvest Confederacy have been under siege at the behest of drab barbarians. Amidst the shadow hours they arrived in their hunting bands, rattling of bone and ice. They take limbs as a form of cursed retribution for their heresiarch’s faith. They reap lives as the farmer reaps his crop. They dine on the succulence of once lively bones and belch crassly in delight, for they had made their victim suffer. They are of Serheim, a would-be Xionist polity that scars the Urguani coast with immeasurable iniquity. They have declared GOD dead, and have seen it fit to justify their monstrous ascendence through a faux “defense” of mortalkind. Ironically, these mortals are the same they cannibalize. This is a clear violation of the Epistle to the Magi and of basic integrity. Serheim must be destroyed, and we Lectors have done our best to see an end to it. We have rallied with the Harvest Lords and patrolled the countryside endlessly in pursuit of these villains. We have tracked the few foolish enough to reveal their face and have dispatched them with prejudice befitting the Men of Anthos. Those who have not retreated to their depths have skittered to new lands, furthering the spread of sin. There is much more to be done. We thus invite the Holy Church of Canon, and our fellow Human lords, to join us in our CRUSADE. The ruins of Serheim must be quarried brick by brick, and devoted to the Saintly Caius. We must enslave their immortal witches for the creation of iced creme. We must ensure that none are ever so bold as to hunt Men again, lest they find themselves in the T’s indifferent embrace. After we raze Serheim, we must raze all bastions of the Deceiver. Those fugitive and absconded wretches must be hunted, tested and exterminated. The surest way to determine if one is a servant of Iblees is to cut a suspect deeply into their supple flesh with a blade of Aurum; salt the wound. Further, one must be willing to bludgeon a suspect to determine as to whether their flesh will crack as ice. Should any adverse results be detected, termination is preferred. It was the Prophet Owyn who freed our peoples from the tyranny of the Unrepentant. It was the Prophet Godfrey who punished the would-be Slavers. Such actions mimicked can only be blessed.

Lair PRO MC Name: Islamadon Lair Name: feldersrock, or Lectors Lair Members: Islamadon, Prophet_Owyn, Boarlord, Iomedaean, Dargrind, Bewahrungs, Funtzu, __Heathman, wowj, friendlyguy83, Abeam1, Tasty_Cheesecake, PrivetTovarisch, Olaai, Jihadi_in_Pradi, Yuzoi, Shorsand, Aehmi, 7ixy, ArcaneChicken, Titanium430 Proposed Lair Locations (Highlight/draw at least three on the map): Currently, we are located on the region “feldersrock” on Tile 70. Originally we were granted land by Oren, but due to numerous civil wars and the intent to reorganize, the Rebel victors in Acre have decided to cut the Lectors loose in pursuit of Lairhood. Lair Lore (supply link to an existing creature or other lore if being used as basis for this lair) (1000 words minimum): The Lectorate of Owyn has been a consistently active organization of Human church RPers for more than a year now. The group has gained notoriety due to its investigations into darkspawn and development of Alchemy related lore. We possess Tawkin, Animii, Smoggers and Templarism- all of which are blended to make the Lector aesthetic. We primarily engage in philanthropy, in that we offer free replacement limbs and knowledge on server lore to those who come and ask us. I feel as if the ST already knows of the Lectors and already possess opinions on the group; thus, writing 1000 words is meaningless. I will provide lore posts, however. Lair Build and Infrastructure (photos required, give dimensions): Currently the Build is rather large for a Lair, but that is just the region we were given to encompass the mountain. I am not sure on the specific dimensions, but I believe it to be in the realm of 90x130 currently. The build is already implemented in the “feldersrock” region. Why can this group not fulfill their roleplay niche in an existing settlement or nation? (Give a detailed answer and examples of how this has not worked in the past.): We absolutely can thrive in a nation. As it stands, the Orenian remnant is condensing us and wishes to free us of our ties to them and other nations. I would prefer to not have to spend another 4 weeks building, or have them own the tile purely for our sake. If this is a deal-breaker, I understand. How does this lair add to the greater world around it? How will its existence benefit its roleplay group and the server at-large?: Lectors have been around since Luciensburg’s initial formation last year. I would say that our group has been key to revitalizing interest in Human Faith RP, and acting as the bridge for Human players to delve into deeper server lore. We’ve also been one of the most Lawful-Good organizations around, rivaled only by the Paladins. Though some have become disgruntled with our methodology and min-maxing, I argue that someone has to be a police officer and the whistleblower. If permitted this lair, we will exist as we have always existed.

"Why do they drive down the property value by bringing anothah' war here?! I ahm so tired of human infighting. Please stop. Work towards reconciliation... Work towards a bettah' Humanity." comments an old and grumpy Lector.

t. Savoyard goon I don't want to be in Urguan and see the Orks and Elves within render distance, conflicting with build style. I want to be in URGUAN.

What matters more to a map is how it is laid out, not it's size. I personally found Athera dreadful since you could take 4 steps and be at the next city; it ruined emersion and felt that there was nowhere to breathe and live. I am an Anthos shill in that the map was decently sized, but the roads and environment provided natural corridors for RP hubs. For instance, I thought that Kralta was perfectly placed because it was at a fork where you could either go above ground to Abresi or use the chasm pathway to potentially avoid other players. It was very memorable and gave an illusion that the map was larger than it was. I also liked how the mountains, albeit steep, had lengthy and wide valleys where people could set up. The mountains also provided a natural wall to indicate borders - as it stands now, mountains are just oppressive and expansive. The biomes were also endearing in that they were simple yet effective; you didn't have 1/5th of the map devoted to cheese holes. The reality of biomes is that bad builders will always grief them. On paper, having custom rock formations and terraforming is neat but it will be difficult to repair should someone build Polaris 2.0. All we objectively need is a nice sandy desert for orcs (jungles suck!), a good amount of GOOD elven trees, MM-styled Human terrain, fat and snowy mountains for Dwarves and some aesthetic cold wastes. We DO NOT need Jungles or Fire Biomes. I actually like swamps - Axio's Tahn swamp was very cool. Also, build an event zone! Something pertaining to World Lore and will give an excuse for people to go venture and get bodied by bored ST. I think Ando kind of flopped because it was too Voidal rather than something anyone could bite their teeth into. Make it like the glowing sea or something and use that new deep dark biome.
