Part of the sound magic to make the instruments, part of the magic to make her voice loud enough to be heard

@Crimson Raven I love his inner dialog, I nearly died laughing when I read it.

But to address your edit, absolutely!

@Frengo is in charge of the rangers, so they might be better fit to arrange something. However, as I am next to post in that scene, and Kalar had sent Liara to go ahead, it is completely plausible for her to bump into or notice him on her way out. I should be able to get to it soon :)

@Crimson Raven

I hope you are aware that Frengo is there as well. If so then I have no issues.

@Absolis

Wolf genocide spell gone wrong? Could you explain that in more detail At least in as much detail as Adria would understand it. How would sound traps work as per her defensive sound magic? Feel free to name the settlement that Adria came from, though I suppose that is not of great significance, but Adria was born in Mefna, a cave settlement far away from the human lands of Celakor, reads better to me than, Adria was born in a small cave settlement somewhere off the map. But look at me throwing rocks from glass houses as I have never been all that fond of my own writing abilities. Seriously, everyone else here surpasses me by so much. Where was I? I wouldn't mind seeing more detail on why music and performance are so important to Adria or more detail on how that event in the swamp went down to traumatize her.

So get back to me, you by no means have to address all the above points, but I think at least talking about it will be good for her.

@Crimson Raven Got no problem with you joining the cool kids' table, but as I've just posted, I'm going to have to leave the interaction between the group and Aegis to IcePezz's care.

However, if you'll be tagging along for the duration, we'd best get to discussing what direction things are going to go in - but that can wait until tomorrow, for me in any case.

@IcePezz Handle it as you see fit, I'll jump off whatever baseline you two leave me.

To put it into detail as I would understand it, historically, while wolves have been seen as symbols of strength and loyalty, their actual presence has long been hated. So much so that countries actually succeeded in purging wolves of all kinds completely from their borders and forests. That's the inspiration for that.

As Adria would understand it, well, she really wouldn't. As it would have happened before she was born.

Now as to what it would be magically, it would be the actions of a village or country performing those same purges mentioned above, but with magic. However, universally across all media involving magic, the stronger the magic the harder it is to perform, control, and the more likely it is to backfire. A spell made to wipe out a species entirely would be extremely powerful magic. Thus, the creation of the wolf people would a product of a backfire.

The defensive sound traps work by charging the area with sound magic, much the same way as she would her lute. The difference being that since the magic is spread out, not concentrated into a single item, it would go off in a cacophony of disorienting, and possibly deafening sound when someone made contact with the infused area.

I chose not to name the settlement as I am particularly awful at naming things, and more then likely the time it would take for me to think of names, and decide on them, would have made me give up. If you truly need one, I can come up with one later.

The music is more of a dream then anything. There isn't any single reason beyond it has always been something she has enjoyed doing, and performing for people has always made her happy. Its the same reason I enjoy cooking. Theres no real reason I enjoy it, I just enjoy doing so and like it when people like the food I make.

The event in the swamp traumatized her due to her age, in much the same way that many small children are traumatized when they catch glimpses of slasher movies. The difference being that Adria saw it happen right in front of her. She would have heard the screams, saw the blood. Possibly would have even gotten splattered depending on how close the person was. All in the dead of night. Suffice to say, that is a whirlwind of fears that already terrifying to small children when viewed in a setting that is known to be false, happening in a way she knows is real, and in a way that she knew she could be next.

Would this perhaps be enough detail? I know you said I didn't need to cover every point, but I did try my best. To be frank, Adria is my least developed character and that's part of the reason I am RPing as her, so I can develop her more.

If it finds its way into the bio in some way then sure. Well, I don't expect to see the explanation for the sound traps in there lest we ask why every single other use is not explored in detail. And no you don't actually have to name the town.

@cultural titan alright then. I'll put it in there now. I actually did put an explanation of the sound traps in the above post. But as you said, I won't put it in.

Oh! One problem. I access this site through 100% mobile. I don't have a computer, so I'm here on my phone. So editing is a bit of a problem. I'll just post it again if that's alright @cultural titan

That'll be fine. The last person I questioned this heavily dropped out and I wasn't even the gm then, so thanks for working through this with me. Its better for my self esteem that I don't send people packing. hmmm... that sounds kinda selfish actually.

Huh. Well then.

I'm not scared off easily by questions. I try not to hop into anything without being fully prepared to answer any questions I may be asked.

I added in the details you wanted. If some of it looks a bit shoehorned, that's because it is. I found out I'm working on a schedule now.

That will do. If you need help getting your character into the story I am sure that I and others would be willing to help. Though a good portion of the cast is actually caught up with something at the moment.

Welcome to the roleplay @Absolis, I hope you enjoy it here.

Today I'm going to start writing out the new lore. When I finish I will send it to Cultural as the first draft, and then he can make any edits and contribute anything he feels he has to for the second draft. Lastly we will post it for you all to see and offer opinions for any additions or clarification you guys feel like we should add for our final draft.

It's a bit of a process, but I think it's fitting. This roleplay has been remade countless times and I think it's important that we put the effort in to really make this iteration ours. Make it stand out from the others.

Barely started reading your post when I realized we have never made a point of putting Havenford on the map. well, I know why its not on the map, its because its a territory, not a place, but we should probably figure out where that territory is. As for how long it took you to post... meh. Its fine if you don't post all the time. i mean I would apreciate it if everyone was always on and always contributing to the ic and ooc, but that would be impractical.
