Re: Lore Question: Dwaedn Wyr outside of the quarantine?

/risefromthesands

The Dwaedn Wyr originated on the Faewyr's home continent of Tyr-Gwyrd long, long ago.

Wait for the Jirato Seal of Approval before running with this, since he's Head Guy.

Shadgard and Utasa

Q: Why the Shadgard hostility toward Utasa? (a question someone asked on chat/Discord) A: Due to a number of incidents in the past, the general Shadgard public opinion is that Utasa are nosey spies always getting into other peoples' business, and sometimes worse. A lot of this developed when Gunther...

Re: Dwaedn Wyr information

With Jirato's permission, I added two brief sections to the wiki article regarding martial taboos of the Dwaedn Wyr as well as their unique flavor of non-channeled druidism. Hopefully this clarifies a bit more on which martial practices are considered unacceptable to Dwaedn and which aren't, and tha...

Re: Personal thoughts on the Wyrvardn

I think Wyr should (Dramatic Lore Nitpicker entry!) "Wyr" is just the Faewyr word for "people". Faewyr, Dunwyr, Dwaedn Wyr, Wyrvardn, and so many more. When you shorten it to just "Wyr" it's easy to confuse with any of the other cases. I know there's obvious context in...

Re: The (nonexistance of) Lore Surrounding the Immortals

I designed the Immortals as vague and unsure on purpose. It was by design that nobody knew for sure if they were actually a thing, or what about them was truth and what was fiction. (See: Religion) What I was always very strict about was the game's reality adhering to lore. People could believe what...

Re: Discussion on how we do what we do.

Maybe the text could be changed for those guilds to "Go out and test/prove yourself against this critter" or something (or they could just be taken out, I'd be fine with that too). But this discussion should be moved to a different thread.
