[OOC] Starless

[Dextkiller]

Its an old member who was banned trying to get his petty revenge. Kinda funny when you think about it.

@Harbringer

Hah, not surprising. He/she posted in about 3 dozen ICs as far as I can tell. Mods will have their hands busy for a bit but I'm sure they'll get around to removing the posts at some point.

[yoshua171]

I am having just tons of fun brainstorming and figuring out my character!

[lydyn]

Sorry everyone! I know I said I'd post yesterday (for me anyways), but life and all that good stuff got in the way. Still, I should have one today for everyone to read (which for most of you, will probably be tomorrow morning).

On the matter at hand - I do agree I'm a tad worried about having too many people. It's the reason why when I poked my head in, I made sure it wasn't too full for me to enter. I honestly don't mind whether the new entries are "newbies" or "veterans" in terms of writing ability - on a personal level. I've always had the opinion that it's not so much the writing level that counts as much as the heart you put into the writing does. I've developed this opinion because I've been in role-plays where my partner(s) aren't on the same writing level, but the heart and feels they put into the character and scene is amazing and keeps me wanting to reply. The point being, I just hope the amount of players doesn't become overbearing for our lovely GMs, is all.

I mean honestly, why would I want to say no to new awesome characters? Especially if one of them can has loves with Elowen?

[VoiD]

I'll make my response post tomorrow. Sorry everyone - I've been busy competing in a few tournaments.

Also, my stance on the whole new player thing is that we should probably draw the line at twenty without more GMs, and ideally with another. I can't in good conscious ask the current GMs to do that much work!

[Dawnscroll]

Okay, what the f*** people. And I'm looking at Transience and Raven on this ine.

I just went through my most recent post, just to reread it and the more recent posts. I know we have the spam poster, but regardless.

Entire chunks of text were either straight up missing, altered in a rule 63 version, or seemed to have text taken straight from a different RP. I think I've corrected everything, but I'm not sure.

So what the hell caused this, who was it, and why?

[Dead Cruiser]

W-what? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

[Dawnscroll]

Someone fucked with my post, in deliberate troll fashion.

[ravenDivinity]

@Dawnscroll: Literally nobody here has the power to do that, and I don't think it was intentional either.

[Dead Cruiser]

Maybe I don't remember the exact contents of your original post, but it seems the same to me. Not to mention that, as rD said, only you or a mod could edit it.

[Free Faller]

Maybe something went awry when the mods were deleting that stupid kids troll posts. I wouldn't get too hung up on it. You fixed it, so it's all good now. Being a GM on this site doesn't give the person extra privileges to edit anyone else's posts, so unless they told the Mods to mess with your stuff for no apparent reason, and then said mod decided that sounded like fun, there's no reason to go all swears on our lovely GMs.

Maybe you should email Mahz if it's really a big deal. He would be the only one who would be able to figure out what glitched out in the matrix, so to speak.

[Dawnscroll]

Maybe I don't remember the exact contents of your original post, but it seems the same to me. Not to mention that, as rD said, only you or a mod could edit it.

@Dead Cruiser

I just spent half an hour making edits all over the place and copying stuff from the master document, and I'm still not sure I got it all. If anyone reads pronoun bs, Barnie instead of Fafnir, and mangled sentences, let me know. But I don't appreciate it, whatever it was.

If it was one or two places, maybe it was a glitch but this was extreme.

[Harbringer]

@Dawnscroll I understand you're mad, but tone it down a bit. The accusatory, dismissive and aggressive posts are getting kind of tiring. The GMs don't have the power to alter your posts and I doubt these two would do it anyway.

[ravenDivinity]

Making a little compendium of things. Ignore if you wish.

Faerthus (Altim) - God of Wisdom
Novissah (Sikes) - Goddess of Knowledge
Goethia (Pricia) - Queen of the Wilds
Tavra (The Green Knight) - Goddess of Nature
Saevus (Daen) - God of Truth

BESTIARY:
Dire wolf (Norco Khan)
Torgarian (Pricia)
Kallimor (Pricia)

PLACES/PEOPLES:
Cynderia (Altim)
Bytheron (Altim)
The Mountains of Dust (Ellarian)
The Heartlands (Ellarian)
The Bastion of Light (Ansur)
The Kulgan (Norco Khan)

Borgar Castle (Pricia)
Borgaria (Pricia)
Lone Mountain - King's Crown ^{(Borgarian: Urgain)} (Pricia)
Kaleze (Ki'ira)
Ynys Mons (Clarent)
The Tear (Clarent)

ARTIFACTS:
Faerthus's Violin

An instrument made of spruce with engraved runes along the bouts. It is capable of powerful, almost divine magic, channeled via song. Only Altim, Faerthus, or a worthy individual can play it. Belongs to Altim.

Staff of Seven Skies

A hard, birch staff. It held influence over the weather and could call lightning. Primarily used by Altim, granted by a temple in the West. Anyone could use it, but even Altim had to work hard to gain its trust and favor. Belongs to Altim.

The Truth Sword

A long, angular broadsword, with a wide fuller at its base that was engraved with the symbol of Faerthus after its blessing. One notable feature of the sword is its shortened forte and raw-quartz handle and guard. It gained its name after Altim reportedly stabbed a king with it and refused to remove the blade until the truth came out. Belongs to Altim.

The Bow of Light

A longbow made of enchanted yew. It could shoot arrows that shined bright with holy light and could pierce bronze. It allegedly struck with the might of the prayers of martyrs. Belongs to Altim.

Imperial Aegis (Ellarian)
Banner of the Forefathers (Ellarian)
Rusty Dagger (Crow)
Glaive (Crow)
Gems (Sikes)
Crystal Bowl (Sikes)
Banemaw (Norco Khan)
Staff of Nature's Breath (Pricia)
Pendant (Pricia)
Mark of the Wild (Pricia)
Infernal Fang (Ki'ira)
Blessings of the Fox Goddess (Ki'ira)
The Bow of Swift Justice

A massive bow made of stout wood and covered with moss, uncannily accurate and possessing a silent bite that few beings could survive. Although the Green Knight could use the bow with ease, legend says that only one granted the favor of the knight himself could draw back the string of the bow even halfway. Belongs to the Green Knight.

The Heartwood Spear

A heavy spear carved entirely out of ancient oak and dressed in dark green vines. The spear was said to stand taller than even the Great Knight himself and was adorned with a leaf-shaped spearhead, fashioned from a piece of dark wood, perfectly smooth to the touch. Far stronger than steel, the remarkable spear bristled with arcane energies. Affixed just below the spearhead was a simple yellow banner, referred to by bards as the "Banner of Tavra." Belongs to the Green Knight.

The Sword Foebane

A grim, two handed blade, forged by Tavra with one purpose in mind, to restore the balance of nature. Far too large for any normal man to wield, the longsword was said to bring instant death to the unnatural beings which plagued the lands. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful weapon, inlaid with intricate patterns of silver that seem to mimic the branches and leaves of a tree, with the hilt of the legendary sword forming the stem and roots. Belongs to the Green Knight.

Oaken Armor

In all the stories, even the most ancient, the Green Knight is described as wearing a green robe and a strange set of armor crafted out of a wood and metal. No mortal smith could have forged the steel just so, nor could the finest carpenters in all of Nalmor have bent the wood in such a manner. The exceptional armor was capable of absorbing great blows and it was said that it allowed the Green Knight to weather even the worst of storms. Belongs to the Green Knight.

The Seed of Truth

The seed of truth is an enchanted gem created by Saevus (god of truth) and bestowed upon Daen. It grants him the power to unmake (unravel) magic much more quickly, thus allowing him to maintain a larger portion of his sanity while unraveling. It also acts as an eye that can see magical structure. And also perform all the actions a regular eye does. Belongs to Daen.

The Mark of the Seeker

The mark of the seeker is a magical artifact that binds to ones soul. There is no known way of removing it without completely destroying ones soul. The mark protects Daen's sanity. As unraveling magic also slowly unravels Daen's mind, the mark halts him losing sanity all together. It also protects him from magic that tries to impact his psyche. This means magic that attempts to terrify, confuse, belittle, etc, does not work on him. With the mark Daen could unravel any magic given enough time. Belongs to Daen.

Regent (Clarent)

Also going to start summarizing things so far. That'll be in the hider below when it's done.

Summary (WIP)

Help with gathering data (both from IC and OOC) is very much appreciated. If you've got anything I don't, please tell me. I'd also like some help describing everything and putting timeframes on stuff. It'll make it easier to make our map more accurate and update the lore and bestiary.

[Corvidae]

Gonna get a short post up today!

[rivaan]

@ravenDivinity roger, I will get to writing and describing things that I've created and PM them to you in a few days tops if it's not a problem ^_^' If you have anything specific you want me to describe feel free to ask about it.

[Vigfast]

Gonna get a short post up today!

@Corvidae

Remember to included some proper urban brothel exploration.

------------------------

@ravenDivinity, I've sent you a PM that should include all the lore I've created for the Green Knight's CS and anything lore related mentioned in my posts.

[Dextkiller]

@ravenDivinity Daen had two artifacts that you haven't included there. I can give you brief descriptions of both.

seed of truth

The seed of truth is an enchanted gem created by Saevus (god of truth) and bestowed upon Daen. It grants him the power to unmake (unravel) magic much more quickly, thus allowing him to maintain a larger portion of his sanity while unraveling. It also acts as an eye that can see magical structure. And also perform all the actions a regular eye does.

Mark of the seeker

The mark of the seeker is a magical artifact that binds to ones soul. There is no known way of removing it without completely destroying ones soul. The mark protects Daen's sanity. As unraveling magic also slowly unravels Daen's mind, the mark halts him losing sanity all together. It also protects him from magic that tries to impact his psyche. This means magic that attempts to terrify, confuse, belittle, etc, does not work on him. With the mark Daen could unravel any magic given enough time.

[Dawnscroll]

@ravenDivinity Heh, some days I wonder if I'm the only one recording all details and trying to make sense of the map.

Places: Ynys Mons, The Tear.
Artifact: Regent.

Descriptions to be sent in a few minutes via PM

[Dextkiller]

Quick question. Is the bestiary for specifically non sentient creatures? Dragons, for example, would or would not go in the bestiary? Considering they seem to have at least some form of sentience.

[ravenDivinity]

@Dextkiller: Any non-humanoid creature, regardless of sentience, belongs in the Bestiary.
