[OOC] A Patchwork World [Worldbuilding and Exploration]

A Patchwork World

---

---

Introduction

---

A Patchwork World is a RP in which the players are openly invited to assist in the creation of the world at large to varying degrees. One may choose either to simply create a character to live in this world and develop its story, or one may choose to create the world around the players. If one chooses to, they may do both. While there will be a process for the creation of lore, it will not be detailed here, but instead in the Lore thread.

The overall system, which will be split between this post and the first post of the Lore thread, will henceforth be known as LATS. While the Lore section of LATS is not necessary for normal play in Patchwork, the Player Accountability and Setting systems are of particular importance. Additionally, the Tier system is important, but more for reference than anything else.

If you've gotten to this point, then welcome and may your stay be a long one!

Premise

---

In the world of Bayera, 'pon the great continent of Koir, lies the ancient Olias, the City of the Lost. A place of duplicity, by day the city appears lively and rife with activity--its inhabitants welcoming, if somewhat wary of strangers. However, as night falls, people disappear and mystery shrouds even the most mundane of the city's Inhabitants.

For you, drawn to Olias, it is here where things begin. It is here where you might find what you seek, here in the place where things go to disappear.

What's the first town and objective at least?

[yoshua171]

Starting location will depend on a given group or player. However, for now I'm gonna say we're starting in a large capital city on the continent of Vostira. The city is called Calivast.

The three main starting areas right now are all capital cities. There is one on each continent.

The continents are called Nymia, Koir, and Vostira.

Their biggest cities are Vaemia, Olias, and Calivast respectively.

Each city is a capital to one of the great nations/coalitions/forces on their respective continent, but they are by no means the only capital cities.

[The Survivor]

Huh, interested.

[yoshua171]

Welcome to our humble little thread haha. I've got a busy week ahead of me, but I plan to try and write up some descriptions or maybe brain storm some stuff about the three capitals so that the starting areas are at least somewhat defined (while leaving room for building in their surroundings). I figured it would help to have a little bit of definition. You know, some starting points.

[ButtsnBalls]

So, the title says latss but it's latts below it. Which one is correct?

[yoshua171]

Thanks for pointing that out. I must have missed that when I was combing through the OP before posting. Nonetheless, it is LATSs rather than LATTs. Also, hi there.

[yoshua171]

Alright. In the Lore thread I have put some time into defining Calivast, the capital of Isira laid upon the continent of Vostira. I'll try and get at least one more done before I leave for work. If not, well I've got the next two days off to get some more work done on it :)

[yoshua171]

Bam, all three cities have been described and a picture provided to set the tone and give a good idea of what one will find there, in spirit, even if not in terribly specific terms.

So yeah, there's that. I'll probably continue to add basic information about Bayera (the name of the main world) as a whole as things progress and/or as lore is submitted.

[BingTheWing]

This has caught my attention.

[yoshua171]

Welcome!

^_^

[yoshua171]

Velcome :)

[yoshua171]

I have added some additional lore to the Patchtome. Namely "Haramon," who is one of Bayera's gods. "Haramon's Will," which is an oath/ritual related to the aforementioned god and "Contract Magic," which I haven't gotten up yet. I also have "Karma," up, which is mostly relevant to magic users, though it may come into play for others as well.
