Yes. Let's go with that.

@AWildSquirtle

don't worry

talk with the two of us long enough and you'll learn

[Thayr]

@Thayr Excellent WIP so far, however I feel some of their magic may be a bit too overpowered. As long as building towers takes weeks to do instead of minutes or seconds, I might be able to swing with it. Remember that I am aiming for a Skyrim-level of magic.

When the CS is complete, I will have another look.

@Estylwen

Don't worry, tower took a month to complete and I don't intend on making more.

Some of the magic will be a little interesting, though, don't worry.

[Estylwen]

@Thayr Thank for the clarification, sounds good. :>

[HereComesTheSnow]

slapped in a couple basic relationships that hopefully don't read too deranged, should probably nap soon but we ball time to reading

(more to come eventually as the characters enter story)

Me, coming off the mountain after some winter camping:

[HereComesTheSnow]

i may have forgotten how to write for a second there

[ERode]

The city’s on fire, mate. Seems as bad an omen as any to start sailing in the other direction.

[HereComesTheSnow]

Fire catalyzes change and with change comes opportunity and opportunity's what we diplomancers seize, now drive me closer so I can start handing out marshmallows I stole from the galley

[Thayr]

Meanwhile a tower is just floating into view.

Nice. Good.

[ERode]

Get me out of this expansion pack zzz.

[Estylwen]

xD

I'll have a response for Snow after Squirtle posts. No rush. :>

[Thayr]

Well, Ishkibal of Akkia is completed.

[Estylwen]

@Thayr Looking at the CS again, there are a few things I wanted to discuss:

1) Shape the earth, I would like a weight limit for this so it's a little more tangible for battles.

2) Numer's Shield, I would like one of the negators removed. You can choose which one. So, fire, electricity, or sound.

3) A time limit of stepping stones of at least once per round.

4) Telekine would only work on inanimate objects.

That's what i got so far. @ERode, if I missed anything, please feel free to ping in.

I would also like a description of Akkia, and its precise location, so I can add it to the first post.

BUT! Most importantly, I'm seeing a problem here. This roleplay is based around the fight between the Wizard Queen and Duke Rhinecliff. I don't feel like they care enough to really contribute to the story in a meaningful way, as they are only hoping to steal Arrowfell magic to create heaven.

Do you kinda see my problem here?

Keeping this in mind, I would like you to go through your character again and see if you can tweak their motives. When their motives feel right, then I can accept them. Right now, though, there is a lot of editing to do.

@Estylwen

- Shape the Earth has a limit of 100 lbs of afflicted material now
- Removed the negation of fire magic
- Time limit of 1 minute added
- Telekine now only works on inanimate objects
- Added a section to Goals for intertwining Ishkibal with the general timeline

Akkia is an ancient kingdom, one where a gods-impowered deity-king known as the Lugal Kiš-ki rules over all. Supported by the Lodges, which act as tutoring institutions for magic, Akkia builds and acts in near-everything with the arts of magic from the raising of new temples, the building of roads and tunnels. The geography of the region is notable for a vast number of rivers and wide, sprawling cities dotted by religious institutions and vertical gardens while statues often line the highways and main roads.

Denizens from Akkia, a variant strain of elves, can be characterized by a deeply ingrained self-worth, that grand authority is derived from the general belief that, in everything, Akkia is superior. They rarely travel outside of the kingdom, save to sate their own missions in either enriching themselves or Akkia as a whole.

The lands of Akkia lay some 4,200 miles south from the lands of Arrowfell, across the Porensis ocean.

I’ll be dead serious here.

The entire existing setting of the RP will need to be overhauled in order for this to be acceptable. Whether Est is willing to put in the work is up to them.

"Wanna sail to someplace tropical instead?"

[Estylwen]

@Thayr Yep, sorry Thayr. I am not able to accept this character. They don't fit the setting.

Good luck with your endeavors.
