@Lucidnonsense

Make it up as you go along. You could put any of those in hider tags. Thanks for the location post! I can see we are going to need a cartographer...

[Lucidnonsense]

Alright cool, Hopefully some more people post so we can get this show on the road

[MikkishtheLeprechaun]

Can I introduce a concept? Its not really a location, but you can kind of go there.

The idea is that everyone experiences and sees things differently. When something horrible happens somewhere, a person keeps a horrible idea of the place as they associate that place with the bad memory. For example, if you had, some time ago, lived in say, New York, and you were attacked, and something very horrible happened, you would have a nightmarish memory of New York.

But my idea is that its not just a bad thought in the person's mind. People, through ritual, are actually able to physically go to this person's nightmare version of New York. Ya know, eternal night or crimson sky, malevolent scenery, perhaps lava, populated with monsters that symbolize the person's bad memory.

Think Silent Hill, or Bloodborne.

[Lucidnonsense]

I was actually thinking something like that, involving the hall of mirrors, though less nightmare and more "warped reflections of reality"

[Polybius]

@MikkishtheLeprechaun@Lucidnonsense Maybe make a LOCATION that is another plane of existence? Like a 'bridging world' between people and locations.

[MikkishtheLeprechaun]

So looks like the mages tower gets the first laugh.

It just came to mind, if there are historical inaccuracies, shouldn't someone make the truth about it?

[Polybius]

@MikkishtheLeprechaun Yes, that is hopefully something that will keep this thing rolling.

A word about entries: I'm seeing a lot of good stuff, I think we have a cool semi-primordial thing going on with the locations and such. Be careful about starting your entry about one thing and then switching to another subject mid-way through. There is no need to fill in every detail about the location, item, character or event. Half the fun is seeing what other people do with your idea!

I personally think evil ominous wizard towers are a bit cliche...what im thinking is, perhaps the reputation is not entirely deserved.

Opps. Then the last one may have gone too far. And BTW sorry for the ooc in the beginning of my posts. I finally clicked the ooc link at the top and discovered this is where it all goes. I'm pretty new to this site. :/

@Lucidnonsense

Perhaps you are right. Maybe it was a tower of innocent wizards, attempting to do good for the world through bettering their magic. When one day, a few attempted to contact gods to end a plague or drought somewhere, but those gods were not as benevolent as they assumed, and so the tower was tainted and the once-good wizards became mindless, malicious minions.

Just an idea though, I won't edit it further and will just see what becomes of it XD

[Polybius]

Maybe I should have this moved to the casual section...
EDIT: I'm just realizing how much material will be written and how to ....organize it so it's available if new players want to jump-in. The lore is a bit more in depth than warrants a free forum post. What do you guys think?

@Polybius

was my post a bit short?

@Lucidnonsense

Oh no! Not at all.

[MikkishtheLeprechaun]

Somebody work on a name for this world

Also, there should be a species category

[Polybius]

@MikkishtheLeprechaun Your right. Let's add RACES & MAGIC. As for naming the world, I think one of two options:

• Each race might have a different name for the world.
• Everyone posting submit a suggestion for a world name & we all vote on our favorites.

EDIT: I've added race & magic to the front page.

[Bluetommy]

I suggest Elde as a world name.

[MikkishtheLeprechaun]

Will there be an rp set in this world after we create it?

[Polybius]

@Hanleth Folded crane is cool. I'm imagining a whole set of magical/mystical devices like this for the setting.
