Also added some magical theories to the Lore thread in case anyone will want to have in-character arguments about it.

Magical Theory Doctrinal Theory: According to the Church, all Magic proceeds from Demonic influence. The form which most concerns them is the inherent Magic of the legendary Magi, those said to have made compacts with devils or to be born of a blasphemous union, able to wield Magic through...

Alright, list updated. Still need to add the final six patrons, the Integrators, but they're unlikely to choose anyone in the party to patronize. Would of course be curious to hear any speculations and interpretations of the patrons, in order to further refine the text.

Potential Patrons Lux Tyranis, Illuminor-King, Who Sits The Nuclear Throne, Radiant Blade of The Infinite Horizon, Brooks-No-Shadow, First And Final Blood, Commander of the Endless Host, The Ur-Monarch, The First Symbol of Royalty, Hydrogen Saint of Fusion, Whose Light Severs, Warrior Without...

Hang on lemme put the patron master list in the Lore thread. I'll cut the ones that are unlikely to choose anyone of our motley crew but might be backing eventual antagonists.

Mechanically, you choose a social context and tag three skills. When you use any of those skills in the relevant context, get a bonus die. For example: Familiarity - Kelene Nobility with Mingling, Persuasion, and Subterfuge tagged would mean any time you use those skills in a social interaction...

Any of the Nightmares would take an especial interest. Margenta and Ebroad in particular, The Unspeakable for the nuclear option. Tentham may see potential in him. I don't think any Scourges or Avengers would necesarily apply. Iorantus, whose purview includes lust for knowledge, would be a fun...

All good, didn't realize you'd been making updates. I've just been swamped at work but I've got a couple of days off now so you and Mere will get into posts soon. Do you have a preference for patron solidified? I can see a few that would apply. I'd also appreciate some narrative context for the...

Thinking on @Random Word 's helpful probability calculations, I should discuss my philosophy on mechanical engagement. Assume your character has a Skill at Rank 3, they have all the time they need to complete a task, the proper tools, and no opposition. We can generally say they just succeed...

The site lives once more, how about the rest of you?

Mostly I avoid all human interaction for a day or so and sleep for 12-14 hours to make up for my terrible sleeping habits on workdays, other times cannot be discussed on a Good Christian Website.

I was busy over the weekend, doing some necessary psychological recharging. Updates on various things as need it uhhh soon.

You'll want Kelene for your native tongue, which is spoken through the Empire in various dialects. Old Imperial is the equivalent to Latin, inherited from a long lost precusor Empire. Most existing writing is in this language. High Hrothgaard would be a trendy foreign language to know. Kaeri...

I plan to start each person's pact scene in their last known location, and it looks like the game will start in and around Illim because Bone2Pick's character is from a closeby town, so if your character is in Illim Meredith's character might likewise be for convenience. We'll likely rove...

Specific questions will help me help you, so ask any you have. To help with what's here, though: I'd suggest based on the outline going with a cadet house of Maerlyn, so a French-ish name. I'm open to them being from the main house, honestly. Maerlyn have a long reputation for erudition and...
