Finally making myself create a thread for my clan lore after a year of dwelling on it lol. Watch this space! please don't post just yet! ----- [columns][color=transparent]xxx[/color][nextcol][img]https://i.imgur.com/0cSugip.png[/img][nextcol][color=transparent]xxxxx[/color][nextcol][size=7][font=Constantia][b][color=#745cff]♦[/color] Overture Conservatoire[/b][/font][/size] [size=5][font=Constantia][color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxxxxxx....[/color][b]& The City of Symphonies[/b][/size] [color=transparent]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx....[/color][size=4][font=Calibri][url=https://youtu.be/3o5Vdduh-zc][color=#797682]» lore bgm[/color][/url][/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ucPHQfY.png[/img] [size=4][font=Calibri]Welcome! This lore thread is a heavy work in progress as I fill it with notes and ideas that I've been contemplating for the past year or so. I'm more of an artist than an author so any writing will be on the simpler side, but I'd like to use this project as a way to get more comfortable with fiction. [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/hvbcsWa.gif[/img][color=transparent]x[/color][nextcol][size=4][font=Calibri] [b]>[/b] Characters will be represented by [b]gijinkas[/b], inspired by their dragon appearance. This doesn't mean seeing them as dragons is wrong, but it might be jarring when they're described in text! [b]>[/b] The above point should make it clear that [b]my lore isn't entirely site lore-friendly![/b] It at least uses the world, deities and backstory of Flight Rising as a template. [b]>[/b][b] All characters are LGBT[/b] unless stated otherwise - I don't consider site gender or poses when deciding a dragon's gender identity & some will be gender nonconforming, so pronouns will be displayed in all bios. [b]>[/b] Be sure to check the [b]faq and credits[/b] here(tba) before posting!

It's orbital path is typically an oval shape, though this may be interrupted by other objects in the chaotic outerlands. A point of interest is Märchen's own gravitational field, which pulls in (and pushes away) smaller land masses to orbit the island itself rather than the Focal Point. These "visitor" islands are often so small and transient that they are not recorded onto maps, but they are popular with adventurers for providing resources that aren't native to Märchen.

[*][b]Wizard [/b]is also used as a general term, but it is more associated with scholarly mages. [*]A [b]Magister [/b]is a very powerful magician, both in status and ability. the head of Overture Conservatoire uses this title. [*]A [b]Focus [/b](pl. [b]foci[/b]) is something used to channel innate magic and cast it. common examples are ones hands, wands, staves, crystals, written runes and spell tomes. [*]a [b]Conjurer [/b]or [b]Summoner [/b]is a magician that specializes in evocation magic. [*] An [b]Illusionist [/b]is a magician that specializes in illusion magic, but it can also refer to a stage/street performer magician. [*][b]Bardic Magician [/b]is a casual term used for mages that cast with music. since the city's signature magic education inherently involves music this term could technically apply to its students, but its typical usage is on mages who specifically cast using song or musical instruments. "[b]Bard[/b]" is often used in local dialect to mean a Bardic mage, but this term has a much broader use in other regions of Sornieth. [*][b]Witch [/b]and [b]Warlock[/b] are quite uncommon words. They're associated with magicians that get a majority of their power from an external source instead of channeling innate magic through a focus. An example of this would be another creature or object with it's own intense magical power, such as an adept sorcerer, a lesser deity or a soulbound mimic. [/LIST]

Using page dolls I made for now, but these might get replaced with something smaller (cropped icons or pixel art?) as I add more characters because they are kind too big for the forums.
