Story

[buddyCasino]

The huge part of the forum is about the hack and slay part of the game. But what about the story? It may be a big spoiler for many if they can read about the story, but I'd like to know more about the world the game takes place in.

I think about developing quests (in the far future, cursed university exams...) and they should of course be in line with the outlines of the big story.

What about Feygard? Is there a huge royal court somewhere with rivaling dukes and lords? Who is Lord Geomyr and what are his plans? Is he some weirdo that wants to rule the world or is he only fighting back the shadow demons?

What about the Church of the Shadow and Nor City? Are they evil magicians that sold their soul to some evil being? Or are they trying to resurrect a great religion that will create heaven on earth? Or are there rivaling groups within the church that can be supported or fought against? Maybe a moderate party that only wants church service to be legal and bonemeal potions while others want total obedience and blood magic rituals that require human sacrifice?

Agreed Casino, I for one would like to see more Andor's Trail Lore. There are plenty of folk on this forum willing to add their creative writing skills. Perhaps at places throughout land there should be collectable tomes or scrolls that contain a little information about the history of the world we live in, who are the gargoyle masters and why won't they give me a RoLS? Adversely, I believe Oskar is the only one with the right to divulge information about parts of his creation and during 0.6.10 he has more pressing things to do.

Maybe Oskar could thread for volunteers to write tomes, pm the volunteers enough info to get started and we could send back creative text that could one day be a part of history...

Any, back to the grind, I hope i'm not too cool for the RoLS!

Oskar can grant you access to the Developers Outline.

There is a document being worked on that will hopefully give a feel for the overall design, while keeping the spoilers to a minimum.

Well, if any help is needed to flesh out an outline, I think the absurd frog war saga in the Fallhaven Tavern shows that we have some creative writers who would undoubtedly be willing to contribute, hopefully without being too creative in the process.
