[quote=@MelonHead] The Church of Remus was specifically designed to restrict all technological growth of a militaristic kind (while promoting the use of 'natural' 'god given' magic, so it would have been doing that even before the Tech faction emerged, but I'll re-clarify that as well. [/quote] So they seek to restrict magical technologies as well? Magical technologies include things like alchemy, enchanting, and golem construction. The point of magical technology is to let those with weak magic, or no magic at all, to still be able to use magical items to improve their lives. This kind of implies that the Church of Remus seeks to limit the power of magic to only the strong mages, not the weak muggles who don't have much magic naturally. Is this your intention? If yes, it would fit the theme of an ambiguously corrupt church quite well. [quote=@MelonHead] I've changed the continent to Europe and the countries to roughly comparable countries, Germania, Italia and France. Would people prefer roughly similar city names as well? So far I've made up the capitols of each country, but this is all up to everyone else, I don't want to make decisions just because I'm the first person to clarify this stuff. [/quote] I personally don't think each city name needs to be different, unless anyone thinks of any interesting historical events that happened in the past two centuries that justify a name change. [hr] Also, I backpedaled. My character Evan's race is now a full cosmic elemental, because I thought about it for a bit and decided that a creature like him should be classified as a full spirit under my system. He was a half-human, half dragon when he was a mortal, then died and became a full spirit. The draconic aspects are still present in his soul, but he'd still be a full spirit, not a half spirit half mortal dragon. No, I'm not saying that something like a half-elemental, half-dragon is too improbable or Mary Sue-ish to exist. My setting was always designed to have these kinds of hybrids as reasonably commonplace. I do think hybrid creatures like these are interesting, at least more so than your plain old orcs and dragons and such that everyone's seen a hundred times already. In fact, I'd like it better if players on the Magi side mixed up their races a bit. I want some variety, and not have every character be just a human.
