Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Inferi are hellish abominations, appearing as corrupt versions of the descendants. Roughly, they keep a humanoid form, though some can choose to have multiple limbs, or aesthetically lack things such as eyes. They are beings who only find their hunger satisfied when they consume mortal flesh, their bodies frequently holding mutations, such as sharp nails and tails. Occasionally, some will have a carapace-like armor atop their flesh, though this will prevent them from wearing true plate armor. While they are demonic, they can be slain just like any other person, be it bleeding out, decapitation, etc. Should one actually be killed, it will take [1] ooc week for them to come back, unless a Prince revives them. Another weakness of theirs is Holy Magic as they are always a revealed darkspawn and even just touching Xannic mists causes them pain. However, these creatures remain ageless, the only sign of their elderhood being a more ashen appearance. These monsters tend towards unhealthy mentalities, making them prone to manipulation, trickery, etc. Overall, they are self-serving, putting little above their own preservation and strength, though they are unable to ignore the orders of the one they are bound to. Though, they may twist the words of their masters.

There are three subtypes of Zar'ei, Mages, Knights and Brutes. Each one has a different amount of maleus and knowing different spells. Mages are like Voidal mages when it comes to strength and stamina and can only be up to 6ft tall, though they know the most spells. Knights are as strong as human knights, can be 7ft tall and know a medium amount of spells. Brutes are like orcs, can be 8ft tall but know the least amount of spells. However, each is capable of Evolution, requiring them to gain three total souls by either killing or tricking mortals into making deals with them. Once all three have been collected, they will enter Metamorphosis and will grow accordingly in both strength and ability. Their bodies may recover from old wounds and they main gain more height as well as a Malice, though there is a small addition for each subtype. Mages gain the physical strength and stamina of a fit elf, gaining some extra weight as well. Knights gain a new spell and 10 maleus. Brutes only get an extra 5 maleus. Finally, the Demon may perform a True Evolution and hand the character over to ST as they gain even more strength.

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

Malerius is a six foot tall demon, his body made of a bright crimson and his hair made of a flowing redish gray. The creature holds a weight roughly equal to 150lbs as well as pointed claws instead of proper fingers. His orange eyes peer out from thin slits in his head, a wide, sharp-toothed grin residing upon his face.

Sulieronn rolled his eyes at that. "I wouldn't go that far, after all, I exist." He hummed out as he read through the notice. "But stronger than Fatebinder, sure. Though that's not difficult."

Only thing that caughts my eye is that you can only create one heath in a life time until it’s destroyed? What’s the thought process behind the redline

 Vidal tears have the same redline so I thought to add it because it would be pretty bad to have 50 heaths in one map

-[ The Veil’s Rites ]-

Art by alecyl

~ Origin ~

Years passed in the Material Realm, Tears being made and broken many times, transforming parts of the world into plagues lands known as Hollows. However, before the great and terrible Hollow that Ando Alur had created, there was an even more magnificent land - one created from a naturally born Tear, one that cursed a sandy landscape. This was a Voidal Heath. Nearing the end of the Voidal Invasions that shook the lands of Arcas, a Tear which sat on a sandy peninsula was destroyed and, in its wake, the area remained tainted by the void, sands shifting mysteriously, plants growing like they never had before.

“Reach forth and summon the world. A terrible, yet beautiful, world.”

In recent years, mages have found odd plants growing around their obelisks and some even growing near the ever terrible Voidstalkers, the ones who leak the void into the world around them. These plants were ones that didn’t grow outside of these areas, in fact, many had almost never been seen before! These plants were, and are, known as Voidal Reagents due to their odd properties and even stranger growing conditions. Further the research went, stopping only when the topic of Heaths was rediscovered, though none had been seen in decades. And so, the most ambitious looked for a way to artificially bring them, and their Monoliths, into the world.

~ Creation ~

“It came to me in a dream. So, I brought that dream to the world.”

The creation of one of these Heaths is normally a natural process that’s untouched by mages, however, through research a way to conjure forth a Heath with a ritual has been found. The process is a rather complex one, requiring, at least, five voidal mages, two of which must be Voidstalkers, one must be a Veil Watcher, and another must be a Translocationist. With this combination, the Veil Watcher must peer into the veil, finding a suitable weak point while relaying this information to the Translocationist who searches through the void, finding, and anchoring a Monolith. Finally, with the help of all the other mages, they will fuel the ritual, bringing forth the Monolith into the Material Realm, thus forcing the immediate area to transform into a Heath.

When creating a Heath there are two options. The first is to perform the ritual in a specific biome, ensuring that a specific type of Heath is created there, such as transforming a Forest into The Pensive Wood Heath, or a Desert into The Shifting Dunes. With this, no specific requirement is needed, besides being in a region able to be turned into a Heath, it is known as a Natural Creation. This method summons a Monolith that matches the lands it’s being summoned to, making it a more natural Heath.

The second option is known as Forcible Creation and is performed when the summoning ritual is imbued with specific magics by a certain amount of mages. For example, it would take Illusionists to transform a Plains biome into a Pensive Wood Heath. Performing this type requires the mages to infuse the mana into the ritual as the Monolith is being pulled forth, such causing it to change and warp in odd ways. This change to the structure of the Monolith allows a group of mages to almost permanently alter the landscape in even more unnatural ways, and thus is up to the imagination of the mages.

Mechanics:

Redlines:

~ Destruction ~

“All which can be created can be destroyed. This is the Voidal Law.”

There is a duality to the void, it is both Creation and Destruction and so just as a Heath may be created, it may be sent back from whence it came. With the power of five mages, almost any Heath is able to be cast back to the Void, the requirements being similar to the summoning of one. Two of the mages must be voidstalkers, one must be a Veil Watcher, one must be a Translocationist, but two must be Transfigurationists. With this, the Veil Watcher will look for a weak point in the veil, casting forth this knowledge to the Translocationist who will anchor the Monolith, aiming to teleport it back through the veil. However, due to the power of these voidal creations, it is required to have the Transfigurationists sending abjuration blasts at the Monolith, aiming to weaken its strength just enough for the Translocationist to overpower it.

Mechanics:

Redlines:

Purpose

There hasn’t, to my knowledge, been a Voidal Heath since Arcas due to the Voidal Invasion Eventline. These places can provide a lot of RP, similar to Hollows, though there is no way to make one currently and map creation seems to neglect the fact that they can exist. In addition to this, while none have existed, if one did exist, there would be no way to get rid of it - so I also wish to include that in this lore piece. Usually, there are mages who want to cause chaos and make stuff like tears and then there are those who want to get rid of those, this provides a way for both of those groups to interact.

OK so take my rash 2am thinking with a grain of salt because I see the logic in your point. I have not gotten into a conflict since I came back to lotc so I havent read the current rules, but I recall one time in lotc where solving issues was ONLY allowed to be done through crp, or pvp resolutions between more than 3 people had to be over-seen by a mod and delayed for super long periods of time.

I think the current rules on the matter are great! I'll provide a little snip here.

While CRP is the default, it can be PVP if all parties wish, or if there is 8 or more people and the majority of defenders vote for it. Personally, I think this is the best case we can hope for as it favors CRP while humoring the idea of PVP for those who want it

Ok so yes im dumb but like what if we really took it seriously? What if we kinda just went along with it and pretended pvp default was back. Only for like 24 hours? And then if we like it, put it back maybe?

From what I heard, PVP Default was something that was basically forced upon the server by some person. I don't recall the exact details, though. Anyhow, it had remained that way for a long time before finally being shifted to CRP Default, molding into what we have now. Personally, I feel like we should not go back to that old way of doing things, this is an RP server, therefore RP should be the way that things are done as a default. You don't see people going up to bars and PVPing to get their drinks, that's just stupid, so why would we want conflicts to be defaulted to PVP again?

I've seen the server change over the past several years, and CRP does make it a lot easier to have fun villains because darkspawn are able to start conflicts without worrying about "Erm, PVP" when they just want to make a good story. Sadly, there are people who aren't good villains and just want to bandit people for pixels, but we should cater to those who enjoy RP rather than the kleptomaniacs who look at items and start drooling. Afterall, this is an RP server, we should stick to RP

If you wish hard enough then maybe we could have both, we need more good things on this server

The joke is that they're both absolutely awful 

Oh yeah, we're gaming

People have already said it but I'll say it again to get some rep,

Disconnection rituals will just hurt a community due to things like disconnection wars and the likes. Sure, it would be fine if you could disconnect someone with OOC consent due to the person wanting to no longer be a necro, but that's the only situation I think it would be fine in.

2/3

I like it - it promotes scheduling things so that each side can enjoy the interaction. Of course, I'm thinking along the lines of an RP raid rather than a PVP one

The first Watcher awoke with a start, sweat beading upon the aged 'ker's features. He looked around, a faint scowl forming upon his lips as he muttered. "What do you want me to find..." Sulieronn rolled out of bed, starting his day by pacing back and forth in his room, pondering what he'd been shown.

Hey man, just to let you know, you need an IRP creator for Sorvians. Also, this section: "Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:" means to explain the lore page of Sorvians which can be found here:

In addition to all this, you need to be whitelisted on the server and have been on for 1 IRL week before being able to make any sort of lore applications. Hope this all helps

This doesn't feel like a voidal magic and reminds me more of something along the likes of Kani, or it being a "Mana" magic along the lines of Housemagery or Bardmancy. Voidal magic deals specifically with casting spells/evoking things from the void and doesn't deal with altering the physical body in the ways mentioned

Minor Edit: Would this require someone to know Alchemy? It's also to be noted that alchemy and magic don't really mix

Bandits hate me and my 72 soulbind tokens

Only 72?

I find that letting people know that you're not attacking them because you want their stuff helps make the crp a lot more pleasant. It brings down stress levels and generally makes it a better experience overall

In addition to this, I have a personal rule that if my character kills someone because of a vendetta or something of the sort and they DONT PK, the vendetta will be settled in my characters mind. Even if they see the person roaming around near them again, they won't attack unless a new problem arises. I think more people should do both of these things
