[@shylarah] Hey there, I might be able to answer some of your questions. As far as I know, and Vahir can correct me on this, I don't believe he has a word count or posting frequency requirement. We try to do at least one post a week, though that doesn't always pan out. And I think 'valued underlings' is an excellent way to describe our characters. Not sure about the half-spirit thing, but I suppose that decision rests with our GM. And yes, the only magic in the world is wielded by Oromis himself or found in sila stones. As far as Oromis' intentions, he claims to want to bring peace to a world torn apart by war. In order to do this, however, he's basically waging a war of conquest against his enemies alongside his loyal Mardochian followers and a sizable mercenary force. I'm not sure what Vahir had in mind as far as what life was like under Oromis before. If I recall correctly, however, he cast down the elves but was dealt a mortal wound by his adversary, Bucephalus. He left behind a Prophet to rule in his stead. When he returned a second time, however, he was disgusted with how the original Prophet's descendants were ruling the Etruscans, and the God-King tried to bring them down. Sadly, he was assassinated over the course of a vicious civil war. I don't think Oromis ever had an opportunity to rule since he was so busy fighting or getting killed lol. At any rate, I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't worship any gods at all. There are numerous gods venerated throughout Tverios, but, apart from the dwarves possibly, I have a feeling the various racial and political leaders aren't too strict about enforcing religious doctrine. This varies depending on where a person lives, though. If you don't worship Oromis in the the city of Tolos then it would probably be in your best interests not to make a huge deal out of it. The presence of supernatural creatures is actually another question I'm not sure about. We've established that the symbol of the old elven empire was a dragon rampant so maybe there were dragons at one point? I'm not sure. I get a very "Game of Thrones meets Lord of the Rings" vibe from this RP. There are fantastical elements, but they are grounded in something approximating realism. Maybe creatures like griffins, manticores, dragons and whatnot existed at one point, but I'm not sure they do anymore.

Of course, this is mostly conjecture on my part. I just know that Vahir is busy at the moment and was hoping I could answer some of your questions from what I've gleaned from various posts.
