[OOC] Conra Chronicles - Encroaching Darkness

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Ashevelendar
Will likely depend a lot on Wolf. Cia is the type to be somewhat prejudiced based on the affiliation of a person. After all, why would a person be part of a group she doesn't like if they didn't share the same beliefs as the group?

That of course is somewhat narrow minded, but keep in mind she's never set foot outside of Malgrave Castles' walls before. It'll take Wolf showing her he's a decent sort that doesn't just scream 'evil' at every turn simply because someone is a 'pagan' or different for her to be 'friends'.

She'll be an ally any time, as long as their goals are similar but 'friends' is going to take a bit of time.

I like the fact that these people probably wouldn't get along with each other if it wasn't for the main girl.
I look forward to testing the patience and virtues of these knights.

[Ashevelendar]

@Rune_Alchemist@Dark Light It sounds good , really.

Just a question. What opinions do your Orders have about Orcs ( Ice Orcs in this case ) ?

@Ashevelendar

Brutish and inelegant, but not inherently bad.

She'll likely not be to fond of that axe of his, but for the most part I don't see her not liking him for any reason.

@Dark Light

To be perfectly honest, Cia will probably like the Tiefling to an extent as long as he doesn't do anything to seriously endanger anyone.

[Ashevelendar]

@Rune_Alchemist Why wouldn't she like his Axe ? :)

@Ashevelendar

'Brutish and Inelegant'.

The Beaumonts are not fond of weapons such as axes, large swords, or things like that. They see them as requiring nothing but brute strength to use, and little in the way of actual skill. After all, any fool can swing an axe or sword around to cut a beast/creature in half.

So simply put, she just views it as a weapon that is valued by someone who would use brute strength rather than tact or skill to accomplish things. That doesn't make the Beaumont or her right, of course, and she'll probably not say anything to him about it. It's not her place to dictate how he should fight, after all.

She might make her disdain clear, though, so if he has an issue with that then she might say something.

[Ashevelendar]

@Rune_Alchemist He will probably challenge her to a fight if she insults his honor :)

@Ashevelendar

And she will have to accept, if he does, but I don't see her directly insulting his 'honor'. At least, not intentionally. She has had a rather sheltered upbringing and might be somewhat socially awkward and say something she didn't realize that was insulting, at least to start with.

[Ashevelendar]

@Rune_Alchemist Ok. Sounds good :)

@dark light Had the same problems today , I know the feel xD

@Lady Sven I have posted my bio in the CHAR tab.

The Order is ambiguous in morality, and so I want them to be viewed negatively. But whatever you think of them, they're a necessary evil (at least, in my head-canon). No one else is willing to stand on the ramparts in some gods-forsaken wasteland like the Knight-Brothers; no one else is willing to commit the atrocities they are willing to commit.

Then again, that's just my head-canon, take it and use it as you will.

On another site, the Brothers would attack pagan villages in the midst of the night, drag the occupants into the streets, and then force them to convert. Those who agreed were put on wagons and escorted to pacified lands where they were given fertile land and good protection. Those who refused were brutally butchered in the street, in front of everyone, as a warning to anyone else who might oppose the will of the Brotherhood.

EDIT: At that time, the Brothers were trying to purge that area of a specific kind of worship; they did so with brutal efficiency.

@TJByrum

A lot of their most extreme practices would not be accepted by Conran leadership. Like they have rules to follow to continue to operate, though they have probably earned some leeway over the years. There are other orders and racial churches in the the city.

When they came to Conra, I can picture the ruler of the time deeming them a necessary evil of sorts. They can't be too extreme. Humans are numerous in Conra but so are all the other races. Elves would have their own version of an Order trying to purify their race once again by calling them back to their homeland. Goblnoid Races have advocacy groups and unions. Conra is a melting pot. I am not saying some things didn't or don't happen but that gets into the racy and dark side of things.

@Lady Sven
:) sooo when do you think we will get this show on the road?

[Lady Sven]

Pretty soon I'll kick it off. There was one more person I was waiting on be a use they wanted to take on a somewhat important role I had in mind.

I'll message them to see if they are still interested

[Ashevelendar]

@lady sven The guy/gal that you talked about in the interest check ?

[Lady Sven]

Yeah. They contacted me and are still interested! Just been busy.

I'll have more details for the opening once their character is made.

[MonstrousMan]

@Lady Sven

Fell upon the interest check for this and I was wondering, must all of the characters be 'Good doers'?

I like myself a baddie

(If you've got the space, GM)

@MonstrousMan

For this particular adventure, there is a common evil that is needing to be delt with. I say good doers, but it doesn't mean a character is good. To be totally honest, it would be in everyone's best interest to stop the spreading darkness. Dark Magic consumes people and the monsters do not have allies. They are a wild force that has been unleashed and pointed a civilization. The Dark Wizard doesn't control them, he defends himself and helps guide the monster's to meet his needs.

If you are talking about playing a 'criminal' or someone who doesn't necessarily align with the views of the country, I could see potential. Possibly anti-party at times and causing some questionable decisions to be made for the sake of speed and efficency.

[MonstrousMan]

@Lady Sven

Anti-party sounds fun hehe.

Though I won't be the dick who ruins the fun :)

I'll get a CS made soon, may PM you with questions.
