The Faraway Land: Resurrection

Welp, stalwart paladin it is.

Just for lore friendliness, what is the primary religion structured like? Is it similar to a church, and a paladin functioning as a "holy warrior" would work?

@Avali

There are about as many religions as there are people in The Faraway Land, so there isn't really any "primary" structure there. The Kingdom of Dragan has an official state religion involving a number of deities, but enforcement has been lax, so a multitude of other religions have sprung up. Orcs and elves both tend toward monotheism, though there are numerous exceptions. Worship of the deity that created the Guardians is notably rare, though, in part because there is little documentation about him on this world.

I would love to.

Currently debating what sort of character I go for. If dragons are a common thing, I was thinking of doing someone who worships dragons and such.

Otherwise I may just do the stalwart paladin.

@Avali

Dragons per se are not very common. The few in existence are extremely powerful (read: plot-important). Wyverns, the two-legged versions, are much more common and are popular air units in national armies. The Kingdom of Dragan is famous for its elite Wyvern units.

That said, there are those who do worship dragons. Caradras tends to kill those people, since he, too, has a god he worships and is rather sensitive about the subject.

Did I leave you on an awkward hook?

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

I haven't read a bit of IC honestly.

However, I did read the first post in OOC on the "lore" and such. I like the idea ^^;

@Avali

Awesome! The princess is just about to be kidnapped by the dragon in the story, so you're just in time. Want to join up?

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

Avali's Gale does have a better ring to it than Revali's... I like it!

And yes, the Frenchiest Thing is a meme I believe.

@Avali

So, how can we help you? You're enjoying the story, I hope?

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

It is I, the frenchiest fry.

Hello Friends ^^;

@Avali

I've heard that quote before somewhere...

Anyway. Time for a Zelda joke:
"Avali's Gale is now ready."

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

Loved it.

Sort of wondered if it was for us, though. xD
"@mentions" and all being a thing.

@Samdragonx

Yep, it's for everyone. Except StormHeart, 'cuz her character's in the middle of the ocean and about to tackle the Kraken in about 3 in-game days. :P

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

How did you guys like Caradras' introduction?

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

@Thinslayer
So.. the story is moving forward? O.o

@Samdragonx

Yup. Can't wait for ineffable forever. In the lore, meeting the Guardian is a rite of initiation for a new Hero, for reasons you'll soon see. Caradras is waiting to see what Ravadon does when faced with a power so much greater than his own.

It's not why Caradras is here, though.

Lore: The Legend of the Twelve Guardians

During humanity's darkest hour, when the Imperial starfleet was destroyed, all defense towers rendered inoperable, and all human life on the planet driven close to extinction, there rose from the earth twelve mighty life forms, called Guardians. They all spawned with a single mission: to protect human life from its enemies. Together, they pushed back the billions of Voidspawn and either destroyed them or forced a retreat through the portal. Most of the twelve perished in the battle; thus far, only the fire dragon Caradras, the Kraken, and the Wyrm are confirmed alive. The Wyrm is believed to have been taken by insanity a few centuries past, and the Kraken restricts his activities to pirate-hunting and making mischief.

Only Caradras has shown any real interest in human affairs. It is Imperial tradition that new Heroes bearing the Mark be initiated with a pilgrimage to the western volcano, where Caradras makes his abode. The dwarves in the region have made a pretty penny off the arrangement. In recent years, the dragon has been cutting himself off from outside contact.

He was last seen attacking Midhaven. He could not be reached for comment at this time.
