supernal 22146 Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Consider this your primary stop for updates to Lagrimosa lore, canon, and organization. The baseline for a qualifying canon event is one full page, which is 15 posts. This can include the summary. New: By default armed conflict in urban environments will always carry raised awareness among the government as a Consequence. It will also require demonstrable loss or damage for the assaulting party or a roll on the NDS. Don't anticipate that I, as Lagrimosa, will roleplay out minor details - I don't have the bandwidth and lack the desire even if I had the time. I can't keep up with every possible thread and respond to all possible actions. Lagrimosa is big! So if things get blown up (or burned down, or infested with a zombie virus), anticipate they'll get fixed even without direct player involvement. 1 month (OOC or IC) is the average repair time. Very large scale events should be done in multiple parts (ex: I disrupted human trafficking industry in another continent over 3-4 threads), as each canonization gives people a chance to act and react in stages rather than very big changes executed all in one go. Note that I've broadcasted changes in how I want to develop Lagrimosa. The short hand is "deeper, not wider". My focus is on developing existing territories and having players interact with players, not adding more territories and having players interacting only with the setting. If you want to blow something up, build something new, or take something over, look to a peer. Below are rules of thumb I use to guide decisions. The numbers are suggestions - for example where post counts are indicated, activity isn't the only factor I consider nor is it a guarantee. Location creation (average size is ~5 sq. mi.; standing policy is against territorial expansion per development policy) Tag in Cities or Wilds = 225 posts (15 lifetime pages) Map inclusions = 375 posts (25 lifetime pages) General guideline for soldier acquisition 1 thread canonized, 2 page minimum = 500-2000 basic infantry General guidelines for severity of attack based on deaths A few = baseline. murder is a serious offense, makes any existing crime worse, and should be treated seriously Dozens = effective attack The following are an example of the kind of response you should anticipate from the setting and OOC prompting by me if needed IC | OOC Hundreds = highly effective attack Thousands = The attack on Pearl Harbor resulted in the deaths of ~2400 people. This will represent the ceiling, not the standard, for any “supremely effective” attack Civil War Terrenus civil war | phase 2 | phase 3: Part 2 highlights the events in Hell's Gate, Blairville, and Tia which lead to changes in magic and transportation and incipient civil unrest | Phase 2 highlights the establishment of factions and territories across the nation of Terrenus | Phase 3 highlights the growth of these factions and territories into their own regions Canon changes to magic and transportation: Explains why the warp gates and lightning rails are no longer operational; explains why the ceiling of magic has lowered to make destructive magic less effective than elsewhere in Valucre, with the exception of the newly expanded Shawnee Glacier Edited October 29, 2020 by supernal 1 SelenaNichole reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supernal 22146 Posted August 1, 2018 Update to Taen Quote Chasing Zengi's Gauntlet: A group of individuals led by powerful necromancer Lilith Reiter trekked to the Mountain Quadrant of Taen and obtained the S-class artifact, Zengi's right gauntlet. Through the power of the gauntlet, a powerful undead servant was created to kill and absorb the life energy of its victims to feed the gauntlet's hunger. Lilith has claimed Zengi's gauntlet as an S-class artifact 2 Ataraxy and SelenaNichole reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supernal 22146 Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Update to Ashville Quote Ruin has come to Ashville: As a result of the Maw sweeping through and devouring Ashville, all that remains of the city are grayed cobblestone ruins, dusty glass and dirt. Wood, metal and all living material has been exhumed from the city. The area also appears to be significantly colder, and the environment looks grey and lifeless. The City of Ashville has been destroyed, with major loss of life, and even greater displacement of its citizens into Aspyn and Hyperion. Note1 - as can be seen from the summary a majority of people were able to avoid death because they saw the warning signs and got out while the getting was good. If your character has a stake in Ashville, such as a business or some relation, it's fine to have had them scram earlier on Note2 - Ashville will no longer be a city setting in Terrenus. The tag and map spot are being removed. It can still be played in as a ruin, as described in the canon post linked here Note3 - For continuity purposes, this takes place later in 597 WTA / 29 AO, so as to allow the events in the Raid on Last Chance to resolve neatly where referencing an intact Ashville.

supernal 22146 Posted September 3, 2018 Update to Southern Sea Although this takes place in Elendaron the events are significant enough to Terrenus that I want to make sure to integrate into Terrenus canon too Quote Death flees on the open sea: A black ship, sporting an army of rage made up of metal murder machines, has escaped the southern coast of Terrenus after visiting ruin on the beaches of Last Chance.

supernal 22146 Posted September 16, 2018 Update to Hell's Gate Quote The cost of victory: Michael Commager's Oculus crystal is removed and repurposed to house a limited instance of the Victory ASI, developed in Hell's Gate. The purpose of this is two-fold: to gather data on field-test combat and investigation scenarios as navigated by a PeaceKeeper, and to observe Michael's mental and physical state after the combat in Last Chance.
