So for someone who isn't well-versed in the way of Discord my question to all of you is how does a Discord server help the RP? Also I know that Discord servers tend to have multiple sections for different topics. is there any kind of template that I can work off of when building this thing?

@Dusksong Just smelling it is fine. I like what you mentioned in your CS. No more than three at a time and you have to concentrate on those smells. (Concentrating on more than one smell is difficult enough).
I don't remember Odos Augaision as being very OP to begin with, but I guess it depends on how you write it. Healing is probably the most OP power out of all of them, though you have to put up with a horrible smell to use it, which is a fight in of itself.
In regards to discord, We actually have none at the moment. I've never really been big on social media and am vaguely familiar with Discord in general. However I'll be happy to start one if everyone would like to have one for the RP.
@13org, @HokumPocus, @Fetzen, @Jerkchicken Where do you all stand on having a Discord?

It was a good post.
Below are the basic details regarding the War of the Crazed. I'll add it to the original OOC.
27 years ago, The Nation of Smell was thrown into turmoil. An uprising had begun by those who by magic users who had been long been deemed dangerous. Regulated magic users, doomed to the insanity of the Crazed.
In some nations, like the Nation of Sight, these magic users were locked up the moment they showed signs of insanity. In other places, like the Nation of Touch, those who became the Crazed, were rounded up and executed. In the Nation of Smell, however, a nation where cleanliness and trade governed all, Regulated magic users were deemed unclean and unworthy of living out a normal life.
One of three fates befell upon those born to such magic, in the Nation of Smell. Death was the most common fate among the wealthy. Regulated magic users, belonging to wealthy families, were killed on the spot after showing signs of having such magic. Unfit to bear the family's name. Among the poor, regulated magic user were enslaved. Sold for a pretty penny, to the country's slave traders. For those who had decided to hide their abilities, only to be discovered later in life, these people were exiled to The Dead Sands, a place where death was certain and none could survive. Except.... one did survive.
Hleigar, son of the Nation of Smell's Mistress of Merchants, could not bring herself to kill her son. Instead she kept his power a secret. Covering up the murders he committed. Sending away or buying the silence of those who were close to and/or discovered the truth. To her own grief and sorrow, this secret lead to the death of her only daughter by Hleigar's hands. It was a tragedy to the family, most great, for only a female could be heir to the title of Mistress of Merchants. The secret could be secret no longer. 21 years of age, Hleigar was exiled. Sentenced to die amongst The Dead Sands.
Left to his own, he had hatched a plan to seek revenge upon the mother who had left him to die and the people who had sentenced his kind to live their life in fear. Hleigar had learned to survive the horrors of The Dead Sands. With that knowledge he sought out other recently exiled, taught them what they needed to know and became their King. Hleigar, King of the Crazed.
Five years passed without a word from Hleigar, and things continued as they often did. Until one day Hleigar returned, with an army of Crazed behind him. Caught unprepared, the lands of the Nation of Smell crumbled before his army. He conquered each town, one by one. Freeing his people of their slavery, while enslaving those who he no longer considered his people. With no choice but to follow his rule, the people, Hleigar's word became law in the Nation of Smell.
As the Nation fell, Hleigar set his sights on the Nation of Taste and Hearing. And so began The War of the Crazed. A War that lasted for five long years. In the end, Hleigar was vanquished. His army scattered across the lands. Hiding and waiting for the right time to strike. Fearful of the hunters who seek their heads.
The Nation of Smell's recovery was slow. Where once there was only one Mistress of Merchants, now there are several. Each seek control over the Nation's trade network.

Alrighty, Recap is done. I'm going to start organizing the lore I mentioned about the Crazed and the Nation of Smell.
@Pezz570 Oh, I was sorta planning on writing a character whose mind is going and is fine with that (seeing as he's driven by revenge, not survival), not whose mind is gone. So I'm planning on making him young-ish (21) and with mere quirks of insanity at the moment. As for magic matching the nation, I'll have to see what I can come up with if he's not going to be from the Smell haha
I can probably get a CS to you tomorrow or the next day depending. Catching up on the recap and all that is gonna take a good sec I think, and slow-paced RP sounds good to me!
Sounds good to me. Just remember the type of magic is not dependent on a person's nation.
@HokumPocus Lol Right? I may have been in one longer before (too long ago to remember), but that one was done with friends so it kind of made everyone feel obligated to write. This is definitely the longest I've been with people I don't know. Didn't think I would have to fully flesh out the entire first Act, lol.
@Dusksong Ooooo a regulated magic user you say? Sounds fun and dangerous.
FYI, since this RP's inception, I've built in some lore for those magic users. Most of which I have yet to mentioned to anyone, except 13org (I made it to work with a future character that is related to hers. So it wasn't important until now.)
Second thing to note, I've come up with a name for those who loose their mind due to the magic. They are known as The Crazed (I'll need to update the original OOC.)
I like the idea of smelling magic. It would be a nifty Smell Adept ability. Also as a reminder, you magic system does not have to match you nation.
For the most part the Recap should have most of everything that has happened so far (I'm still updating it), but I'll help you get up to speed. We are on Day 3 now, at the very beginning of the day. Perfect time to join the RP since nothing chaotic is happening. Also, please be mindful that this is a slow paced RP.
Send me a PM with your character. I'll prepare the lore I mentioned earlier about the Crazed. It includes things that happened in the Nation of Smell as well. Lastly, I'll finish up the recap. I have one more interlude to write and the setup for day 3.
Feel free to ask questions. I'm more than happy to answer :)

Wow, so I was just looking at the Original OCC. This RP has been going on for a year and 20 days now. How about that?
Speaking of old posts. It's probably about time that I update the recap
I'm going to mention the festival stuff in my next post. Didn't seem appropriate to do it for this one.
