What are the most sought after objects - Rariora - on Ramath-lehi? Things that make you think of ancient tombs and boobytraps, adventurers and so on and so forth.

Are there any (irl) commonly known (irl), "sci-fi" or "fantasy" (metals/crystals) on Ramath-lehi?]]> 7 Ramathian Nobility Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:00:48 +0000 https://shadowlack.com/threads/ramathian-nobility.7382/ https://shadowlack.com/threads/ramathian-nobility.7382/ invalid@example.com (shriker) shriker
I would like each noble family to have a "Curator." As a curator of a noble family, you'll be charged with:
  1. Updating and maintaining that family's genealogy page, and
  2. Helping other players create characters that belong to branches of your noble family.
Currently I'm curating three noble families:...

I have been going through a LOT of wiki pages and info pages to get myself all caught up and to help me properly recreate a character. Every now and then i come across something i am unsure about. I am just going to post a list here instead of spamming the board with a new thread each time. Hopefully to get feedback and to help expand some wiki pages :rainbowheart:

I've been reading through the wiki and searching through posts on the forums, and though people refer to the police force and law enforcement, I haven't really been able to find anything specific on how it functions and is structured. Is there something I've missed, or has it just not really been fleshed out yet?

From what I've seen from the way people have treated law enforcement IC, it's just assumed that in the less organized regions they aren't as active...

For the most part it'll simply be a list of adjectives that you may select from. Eg.
  • adenoidal
  • breathy
  • croaky
  • low
  • shrill
  • raucous
  • etc.

Seeing how we already tend to shorted Pendragon to 'dragon all the time anyway, I was thinking about keeping it still in that vein. So something like "Dragen" and then potentially "Feydragen." Originally I wanted "Draken" but that word is associated with far too many things...

1. Anubi

The Anubi are a scarce race that almost met extinction due to targeted biological warfare.

They are fiercely protective of their culture and see all other races as inferior. Some are so strong in their beliefs that the Anubi bloodline should remain pure that they have turned to illegal cloning and genetic alteration laboratories.

Anubi have tall pointed ears, narrow faces with long snouts, lithe and...​

I was doing a bit of research for my Aquabat character, reading up on the race and trying pulling up already made Aquabat characters and it occurred to me that it would be really neat if when I clicked on the Character Registry (its not a pie chart... but the graph thing) if all those characters would come up. For instance I'm trying to get a feel for a certain race so I click on the race and all the characters that have been created under that race come up. Hopefully I explained...

Anybody mind if I take a crack at drawing some Fauna? The wiki feels a bit painfully bare in that area. I don't have much computer/graphic type skills but I am an okay pen, paint and pencil artist. (as can be seen by looking at my attempt to spiff up my characters- I think that we can see the general shading and drawing skills are there just not the fancy computer illustration aspect.) I'm happy to come up with some sketches and if anyone did have skill in the computer illustration...
