The ocean cavern? That one should be pretty fun haha. Oh! You guys can also make your own dungeon area if you want! Just come up with your own rumors for it and kinda run it by me first, and it should be fine. That way ya'll aren't limited to just what I come up with

Thinking about an arbiter's grounds area in the dessert. Shall I post the idea here after my RP post?
Also what's the town/city's view on elves? Still debating whether Evaryle wants to keep his hood up or down.

All of the previous dungeons were in the desert (well, I guess the mines were debatable, but they were in a desert area still...), so it might be best to either hold off on that one, or just change the setting a little, so it's like the arbiter's grounds but in a different type of area?
The city should be fine with elves, as there are a lot of each of the races living there. Really, the purebred races don't run into a whole lot of friction when it comes to things like race, it's the hybrids who have to worry about that. Friction can come in if there's a war between two peoples, but even then it's not divided by race, more by nation (not to say that there aren't certain nations who might be a bit racist towards a certain race...but in the nation they're in right now, the purebred races are looked on pretty equally).

I like the water cave idea better, but make it like a dark cave version of the water temple, just without crap tons of swimming being necessary. It would be fun too. But there are other things too, looking forward to see where this goes.
Good, I'll get to posting.

I hope my posts aren't too short. I just don't want to spend too much time on them in case I have to recreate them because someone posted in between mine and the previous one.

One thing that puts me at odds is that, are hybrids shunned everywhere? Because if two races end up mingling or can even tolerate each other, why are hybrids getting beaten on? It's an odd idea for me. Or is it mostly humans that do the discrimination?

They're shunned pretty much everywhere. It's not an uncommon thing, even in reality, for mixed races to be shunned, especially throughout history.
In this case, it's a little more extreme. One, for a plot point, and two, because they're not just the same race with different colored skin or anything, there are fundamental biological differences. It's usually quite difficult for a hybrid to even be born, due to genetic differences, but they do happen. And since society tells them that such things are taboo, people don't like to see the result of these mixed-race romances.
There's even more back story that I could go into for the reason hybrids are shunned in the rp, but it goes wayy into depth.
Anyways! It's not always super-violent like the attack on the street. But looks of disgust, refusal of service, calling of names, so on and so forth are very common, and attacks are still pretty common as well.

Of course, not everyone is a racist asshole, but a lot of people are, because that's what society tells them to be, and because their own reputation gets damaged if they don't act that way, which could lead to they themselves getting beaten, etc.

However, mixed children also often times have parents that are commonly targets of racism. The idea of mixed children being a big no no comes from the mixing, one side has prejudice against the other and children are proof of the two societies/races mixing. In order for mixed children to be taboo, one of their parent races has to be discriminated against.
We see LOTS of race and culture mixing. In places like America, it's not uncommon for people to be a mix of several different Europeans, and prejudice against other Europeans from moving to America has happened. However, because the two societies intermingled soooo...much..............*two hours later*..............could your plan be that the races are starting to accept each other? Then that would make sense if they just got out of rocky relationships/separation.

1. This is fantasy, so it really doesn't have to be exactly like real life. It's just a part of the story, please just go with it without trying to poke holes into it.
2. There are case of mixed children being discriminated against, even when neither parent are actually discriminated against. It does happen.
3. There's a ton of history in the rp that contributes to the reason that they are discriminated against.
-There are often tensions between the pure races. While they are currently at peace, wars do break out, and races often side with their own. Hybrids don't have one race to side with, since they are mixed.
-I haven't brought in the religion aspect too much within the rp itself, because I haven't worked out all the kinks with how I want it to be in my comic, but many religions have religious texts. Some of the passages in the texts of the most prominent religions have been taken to mean that inter-racial relationships are a sin, which is commonly preached in the world and helps to give rise to the offspring of such 'sins'.
-While races are mingling more and more now, and there's basically no real discrimination between the pureblood races, it is still taboo to mix the blood of the races, as sometimes it can create some pretty terrible things. Hybrids are rare due to the genetic differences, it's difficult to reproduce...but pregnancies are more common, most of which result in miscarriages or deformed still births. In a medieval setting, these are easily taken for demons, offspring of sin, evil, etc., and the hybrids that do survive are seen as demonic offspring as well.
-There is a strong social mentality of 'pride in your race'. Each race does tend to have the mentality that their race is the best, and that mixing their race with another would only muddy their own race's lineage.
-Some of the worst evils recorded in the current history tales are born hybrids. In the main religion, the worst evil was a hybrid of all the races put together. These could be skewed by those who wrote the history, or those currently in power of the religions, but the fact remains that it is a huge part of society and culture that definitely contributes to hybrids being seen as monsters.

@Kuro Kitsune we actually went ahead with the time skip, so all the information for that should be on the first post of page 17 on the IC thread, or in the overview, I updated it with that info.
As for the library though, send me some info on it in a pm and I'll see where we can implement it!
