IzurichHello, @gorgenmast!
It was suggested that I check out this thread by some of the Precipice at War people, since I mentioned I was craving some solid Fantasy RP, but that leads me to a question or two, if you don't mind answering them. Of course, if you want to leave the questions unanswered, let me know.
1. You mention the setting as being based in Middle Fantasy, and that the focus is not on nonhuman Fantasy races - I was curious about the wording of this. Does this mean that, say, races like Elves are not playable, simply that they're quite rare and should remain as such, or something else? In other words, are they playable, or would that be too... Special?
2. In regard to dissent against Eagoth, you mention the lack of success of open revolt - what about less obvious forms of resistance? Isolated guerillas, for example, or even simply people that are choosing to not participate in Eagoth's rule. As a followup, if any of this less overt resistance exists, would it be exclusively conducted by the risen dead? The impression I got was that living folk aren't really a thing in these lands anymore, at least not in any relevant capacity.
3. What of schools of magic outside of Destruction? I'm particularly curious about some of those that can have comparatively overt effects as Destruction - conjuration, for example. Is summoning at all viable, as rare as magic is in general? What of enchanting?
4. I'm also curious if non-'Arcane traditions of magic are/can exist; i.e. magic derived from a divine source, druidry, so on and so forth.
Thanks for your time!
