Next week (October 2nd through the 8th) is Lore Week! I'll be giving dev a small break (aside from bad bugs and emergencies, of course) and focusing solely on writing up lore documentation to put on the wiki. Main focus will go into some basic lore on each of the races, a brief recent history doc for the western half of the continent (where gameplay occurs), and some religion lore.
That doesn't mean I won't write up lore on other topics, however. Feel free to make requests here on subjects you'd enjoy lore on. I can't guarantee I'll get to everything, but I'll do my best.
Lore Week!
Lore Week!
The lore compels me!
Apologies for not releasing anything sooner. Work has given me quite a hefty load, and it has taken much of my time away.
However, I have just put a document on the wiki regarding the Nuum. There are a few holes there still, but I got to a block and wanted to release what I've got so far.

Lore Week has come and gone, and only two documents released. What a disappointment! I've got several partially-written ones that I plan on finishing up and releasing this week, since it's apparent that my fellow GMs are more than capable of picking up any slack while I document away in a cave somewhere. Doesn't mean I won't be doing some dev work too, though.

I hope it's understandable that we're hesitant to open up writing the world's history and fundamentals to people who haven't been specifically assigned to work on it, and aren't acquainted with the basics of how the universe works and its history. We're not just making this all up as we go - there's already a design in place, and it's fairly deep. Getting the information into readable document form takes some organizing, and thinking up/refining/polishing the finer details, and also requires sifting out information that player characters shouldn't have access to (yet!).
That considered, it would be unfair for us to say to a player, "Hey, write something up on the history of the Faewyr, but it has to be in line with a slew of information you don't have access to."

Is lore week going to be annual? Necrobump. I'm hoping because it'd be nice to have more information on the continents or races since it would help me craft a better character personality.

I have nothing productive to say, therefore, I must be heard!
