World Item Lore Rework

Me pulling up to see stink argue about ite lor because its [talk about something related to something], despite [interesting rebuttal that makes ite lor more unique].

I will say that on the point of cliches, there's a reason they are what they are: they work. May be overused, but so is everything if you've seen enough material.

Ok now I eat POPCORN:

ite lor: "With its incredible power, the stink could break a rock. Such immense strength should not be underestimated, for your'e liked to words I'm saying twain yes joke laught!"

 

the lores fine, but it's a bit odd that this is the only inscribed uth weapon lore that isnt about the uth guardians

 

You're wrong.

 

This is a step back from a canon I have been trying to build, more exactly "whispers of heretical sect". I was going for a more united nation, so there are no sects because that thought would affect everyone. Also what Stinky said.

I like "carved into a stone scripture" though.

 

I... honestly don't get what you're trying to say here. What are the qualities of this "zealotry," and why are they bad?

That's one reason why we want to rework it, yeah? And that's what we changed - our version is about Cerid, who does actually have some significance in the game's lore.

 

a lot of the reworked item lores still reference characters that never appear anywhere else

 

Not a matter that I can do something about

 

bumping this thread

 

bump10char

 

bump11chars

 

that's some serious necro

but thanks

 

Change Trifts to something that has to do with the Olm maybe (time magic)
anyways this is p good :)

 

I assume you mean Time Rift, do you have any idea?

I would say it is pretty good as it is + the format shouldn't be too "informative" as it is a Fabled.

 

Y'alls need help.

That said, I really would like to see the lore rewritten to actually be cannon. Right now it's just "whatever sounded cool to write" which is a valid way to write it I suppose but I like being able to read the lore on an item and learn more about the game's world, as opposed to just some random description that just sounds kind of cool. I think this addresses a lot of that, but some of them still are kind of random and don't fit into a cohesive narrative. Quetzalcoatl for instance talks about a dragon that is not mentioned anywhere else and has no significance to the story (unless it references Falkor Farcor, which is removed content anyway). If they were to change it to the proposed lore, I would want some other information on this dragon, at least to have it referenced somewhere else to make it feel more connected and so that a story was subtly being told through item lores and other things found in the world.

 

You explain your own problem. We really wanted it cohesive (and detail-focused rather that bigger-lore), but when one does 2000+ items...

 

Wow I had a lot of fun reading this, the lore in each item is outstanding. By the way, if you can write some lore for some of the new items that came with 2.0 and 2.1 that would be cool
