Fantasy Aether: The Age of Light OOC [being rebooted]

[Saurosian]

I had an idea for my character, but I haven't had time to write it out yet - or to reply here at all, clearly. This weekend would probably be the earliest I could hope to post it.

 

[Abendrot]

May I get a progress update on who is doing what right now?
Abendrot - Haven't heard from you since your character was accepted, you still interested?
@FireMaiden - Have you thoughts about how you'd like to start?
@Larry / @The_Omega_Effect - What's the plan with the Cleric-Crew? I have something for you if you're interested.
Saurosian - How's the character going?

I think I know about everyone else right now.

Doesn't look like I can take part anymore. Sorry about that.

 

[Avari]

Is this open to an outsider such as myself?

Just had someone drop out, so yes.

 

[Astralworks]

Alright then, I'll read the lore and get to business after I return home. Thank you for this gracious opportunity.

Sweet. PM me if you have questions!

 

[Avari]

I'll be around 10PM-Midnight UK time today. (5PM now)

Will be updating lore pages and such.

You wanna write a short Lore blurb for the "organization"

 

[Lefic]

I'll try and post Lynn's next part when my fever cools down. Sorry, feeling a bit ill right now, haha. That's why I haven't really been active for the past few days. I'll be sure to get something up before the weekend ends, though.

Yeah, I'll send it to you in a conversation

 

[Avari]

will be adding to the Lore page shortly, what do you guys want more info on?

Language?

 

[Locklaklazarii]

Ethnicities? Cultures?

I want to say "everything", but I'm really interested in magic, specifically magic before the Cinders.

 

[Avari]

Ethnicities? Cultures?

I can think about it but it's a pretty huge undertaking, we can just develop things as we reach them?

Yep... XP

Almost everyone was super human and had some sort of magical ability. They didn't require links to Spirits and mana was a natural and abundant resource.

OK I was bit facetious and all-encompassing. My main concern, and that of Markku's, is finding out how magic was before the War, exactly what caused the monumental reduction in free magic, and how to start Aether on the road to recovery back towards its former thaumaturgical glory, even if reaching it is physically impossible.

Well you've obviously gotta find out as we go along. I'm certain there'll be an expedition to, say, an ancient ruin that was once the home to an enclave of mages, who wrote down how one could possibly restore Aether's ambient mana. Or something like that.

Whatever happened, it was during the war. Basically Mages are

True restoration is impossible, some things simply can't be replaced or rebuilt. At this point, it's mostly damage control to stop anything else being lost.

Old "true" magic still very much exists however. In dark corners of the world.

Oh, it's kinda like Tolkien's Middle-Earth. After a certain point, everything Magic and magical sorta just leaves or dies, and technology ends up taking over.

Yes!

Tolkiens magic was much more... racially based (for lack of a better word)

 

[Dalamus Ulom]

Yes!

So eventually Aether becomes like our planet? Wow, what a bummer.

Yeah, I know.
