[quote] 1) I didn't see any real mention in the OOC on how exactly the Prae conquered Ominar. Was it through a overwhelming show of force that ended relatively peacefully or was it more of a drawn out and bloody conflict?[/quote] From my understanding with talking with the GMs, the take over was a quiet and gradual one. Enough so that no one actually knew what happened until the Prae started to seize homes, force the Licentia into the slums (some were clever to escape it) or into prison through corruption of the local police department. I’m not full sure on the exact details but as I said, it was very subtle and considering they left humans alone for the most part… most likely didn’t care enough to notice until recent year and a half. Humans make up most the population of Ominar after all. There’s another point I feel is suitable to bring up and there was signs of resistance from Logan Cowley, runner and multimillionaire of the business distract within Ominar after the take over. This happened when it seems the Prae attacked his business (likely in trying to keep their control of the city) and people forcing him to react to the threat. Though the fight didn’t have as much collateral as you might expect, a notable number of lives were lost in the conflict that followed up. When Darius got involved, there was a fragile truce between the two causing the Prae to be pretty much banned from entering the Business District and making it pretty much a fortress patrolled by Mechas and Armax security (hired humans and Licentia, the head being a werewolf like Licenti named Rex). For main details over the events I suggest you talk with all the GMs as I’m not fully sure myself. [quote]2) Are there such a things as military families in Prae culture? And if there are, would it be unreasonable to think that such a family would have a practice in place wherein each heir receives the previous generation's power? 3) Has an Exeo ever been stripped of the power imparted to them by the God-Queen? And if so, would such an event impair their ability to use magic? [/quote] Question two I recall some mention of it by Yosh in the main chat, which I heavily suggest you pop into as we’re most active there, and here’s a good chuck of what I found in the Lore channel over this topic: [quote=yoshua171] The prae's system is a combination of a monarchy, a fiefdom, and a meritocracy. Prae don't have much in the way of internal politics. They are a race united under one governmental system and more or less have been for a very very long time. As to military generals? The Exeo. The Exeo, aside from the God-Queen, are effectively the most important individuals in the prae civilization. They are expected to make 90% of the meaningful decisions that occur. While making those decisions under the guidance, and occasionally the direct orders, of the God-Queen.[/quote] Number 3, I’m leaving to Celaira or Yosh to answer really. [quote]4) I recall seeing some mention of Prae Law somewhere in the lore, but I don't know if I saw it expanded upon. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to find that or even briefly explain it to me? Phew, that's all for now. Thanks for reading through this mess and I truly do appreciate any help you folks can give me with this. I look forward to working with all of you! [/quote] Again, chat has an actual lore channel that you can look through for questions asked over Prae. That has increased greatly with the interest in the Prae who are going to have a big role within the arc after the SoL one. It’s a bit easier and you can leave additional questions for them to answer and enrich our lore more. Ditto, so excited with the new interest. ^-^ Also sorry if the answers aren't the best, but I tried my best.
