[Dragonson]

Hmm. So it's in the big mountain at the South-Eastern part of the map?
Well, that's okay with me.
Do though not have it to be TOO enormous.
The Shevaen wouldn't allow a possible threat to become THAT big.

 

[Fussiler1]

OOC: I suppose the Elven Continent is near the mainland continent?

 

[Dragonson]

I imagine that it's about as far away from the main continent that Denmark is from the U.S.
Also, you don't need to do OOC in the contruction thread.
I have to admit though that i were just about to do it myself as a reflex.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Alright! i'm back! and Dragonson is now Mod In Charge of Intika and some other matters.

 

[Dragonson]

Yay!

Mod Buisness:
SoL, I'l decide if your city is to be approved (which it possibly is) when you've answered my questions.
I wanna' be all sure.
If anybody else has complaints about it, speak up.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Yeah, defently want to know if people agree with all of these ideas. Should we use regular world concepts and things like flora and fauna, and add stuff to that? or should EVERYTHING be from scratch?

 

[Dragonson]

Regular world concepts. We can allways change them during the game.
I also (again) suggest that magic works like... well... like how high-fantasy magic generally works.

Also guys, if you need maps like the one i made for Inkita, please do tell.
I enjoy making them. ^^

You stole my caste system!
Please, really, don't do that.
I made my elves have those castes to make them unique, and it would seriously suck if every race in the world has castes now. :S

Apart from that, this stuf's pretty good. I cast my vote for approval.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Ho hum. What word should I use to change the word Caste. No, but, really, I made the Caste System without looking at yours. Well, okay, I "stole" the word caste from you. Now, onwards to the drawing board!

 

[The World Is Flat]

well its still pending approval. dagonson will get the final word on all three entries.

 

[dead-man-walking]

*DING* I GOT IT! I GOT THE SUBSTITUTION FOR THE WORD CASTE! *Edits His Post*

 

[The World Is Flat]

ok... waiting...

 

[dead-man-walking]

[The World Is Flat]

Highlands approved.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Thank you great lord!

 

[The World Is Flat]

Lulzy lol. just keep the ideas flowing. if anyone wants to come up with a paragraph or two about how magic works, i'll put it up.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

I can do that! To the work desk!

 

[The World Is Flat]

Lulz. I'll look forward to it.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Wow you guys are really into this, looks awesome You've built so much in such a short time hehe The power of teamwork...

 

[The World Is Flat]

You joinin' or just a fan?

 

[Dragonson]

Hmm. 'mkay.
I approve your race DMW.
But i still think that it sucks that we have two races of elves that have similiar working hierachies. :S
I would REALLY appreciate if you redid it, but anyways. It is approved.

Anyone needs a map?

 

[The World Is Flat]

The Highlands need a map. talk to gyro.

PM the approved resources, with any editations of your please.

Submission name:
Soul/Spirit/Ancestor Magic

Submission Type:
Magic

Description:
The Soul Magic is the basic magic of the primitive races. It involves the use of spirits in nature combined with the four elements, Earth, Fire, Water and Air, and the caster's own life force. The Soul Magic usually is performed in tribal rituals, but it does have a variety of uses, including summoning spirits, animating the dead and healing.

Performing the magic:
When one is going to perform Soul Magic, one does need several material components. the caster does need a totem of some sort to use as a connection to the spirit world and the caster does need a spirit amulet which contains a part of his/her own life force and can be used to channel it. In addition, several strange and less strange components can be used to help channeling certain energied, these include special rocks, herbs, gems, metals, weeds, liquids and animal organs such as hearts and livers.

Side Effects:
Loss of Fatigue, Temporal Aging and sometimes Death.

Hope that this is ok, will surely need additional p(ylons)oints.

 

[Dragonson]

Hmm... i kinda like that.
But we need another kind of magic too, one that's more freely cast (like the one i suggested allready, and that the Shevaen elves use).

Also:
About the Highlands map Gyro:
Any preferances? You wanna draw a sketch for it first?

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Just make up something from the description, I was thinking it fairly huge and flat, with a mountain chain to the north where the Cliff of Ancestors lie.

 

[Dragonson]

OKay. Will do.

 

[The World Is Flat]

The Jaal:
The flow of magic

The Jaal is a powerful flow of magic that can be 'tapped by magical beings called sorcerers. sorcerers can wield this magic at will, they have no limits to their power, but casting magic makes them unstable. too many spells, too quickly, or a spell that is to powerful will cause them to loose stability. the result of lost stability is explosion, transformation, mutation, warping the body or parts of the body to other places nd infestation of evil magical spirits called the Guienari'del'jaysou. commoners call them demons.

This magic flows through the air, and certain areas have lots, or none of it. and somtimes, the magic in the air is corrupted. All necromancers are sorcerers. necromancers harvest the power of a special kind of magic called Necrkortim, a special spirit-catch left behind in a body after death, that allows the spirit to be pulled back into the body and animate it once more, bound to the necrmancers will...

more later.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Hm. I think it can be explained through this way:
"Sylovothian Elves are refugee elves who escaped their homeland after the first elven war, after which the remaining elves on the mainland rebuild their glorious civilization"

But that also means another lost piece in history.

 

[Fussiler1]

I'm a bit confused.. where is my region?

 

[Dragonson]

I approve your submission flat. ^^

 

[The World Is Flat]

You referenced a region in your race description, plese re post it. all regions, by default, go in Nar'oseot.

AND DRAGONSON. I AM ADMIN. I NO nEED AppROvALZ

 

[Dragonson]

I know. ^^
I am JOKING.

 

[Fussiler1]

Dragonson, is it okay that my race is living/hiding in your continent?

 

[dead-man-walking]

Just want to state something. If we can get this RP up, Dragonoth should be an un-playable race because of extreme imba-ness. And Sylovothian Elves should be limited to Middle Rank at maximum.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

You joinin' or just a fan?

Haha, just a fan at the moment. I've never role-played (in a forum) in my entire life, not sure I quite grasp the concepts...

Do you just advance 'a story' with each other or do you actually have combat and stats etc? (Like those books, where you make choices and roll dice against stats - like D&D stories!? I can't remember the term but with other people - I have read the rules sticky and got the former impression... ).

If it's the former, i'd love to give it a go (assuming you don't mind having a humble noob onboard) !

Otherwise i'd be better off getting some practice elsewhere first, as this looks like quite an ambitious rp, either way It'll be interesting enough to see how this plays out

 

[Dragonson]

@Fussiler1
Surething you can fuss. Tell me where you r teh hiding and i'l add it to the map.

@Gray N.
Your first impression's right. ^^
(atleast that's how i understand it.)

 

[The World Is Flat]

you advance a story, but its gonig to be a bit liek D&D no stats though, i just do the occasionaly roll.

 

[Fussiler1]

What about.. hm.. a bit in the north?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Awesome.

So I know you usually make your own character (when this starts) will it be the same case, or is more like your own race/empire? Also how do you 'advance' the story or know when the scene changes, etc? I'm just wondering because obviously you wouldn't all start in the same place.

Do you just write: 'Meanwhile' Etc... I would imagine their is some kind of moderation on the story progression?

EDIT: North eh? Hmm... Maybe... ¬.¬ I have an idea... We shall see...

 

[Dragonson]

Psst. Fuss is talking to me Gray.
Also, that seems fine fuss. Is it a big city, a small city or just an encampment?

Also gray: I guess that it works like this: You make your own empires, places, continents ETC.
But in the game you play as a single char. Right?

 

[Fussiler1]

They're scattered in tribes, so I'd say small settlements.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Yeah, uless i approve a veteran or mod to run somthing much larger, as more of an NPC kindof roll.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Wow do I feel stupid

lol, oh that's a nice way of doing it though

I didn't have an idea anyway... not that it helps my case






...So would it be ok if I joined? Again I understand if you'd rather I didn't

 

[Dragonson]

If you do not join i will personally cauterize your gooch. (google it.)
Also: about NPC's: In my case, i will probably be controlling the leaders of the Shevaen elves, but more possibly as charecters then as simply controlling the faction.
(I hope that's 'kay with you flat.)
