A Strange World :: Civilization's Dawn (OOC/Signup)

[Saxony-Brandenburg]

Looks like I have to think carefully now that my scout is missing and I have to make a decision between abandoning two if my tribe members in their home because if sending soldiers, or staying.

But wait, I have been thinking of a story idea. Is it possible to gain magic if I started doing more rituals and prayers to my God for my tribe

Lordaeron certainly got some magic via belief.

Does that mean Honori can into magics?

You'll need a concrete belief base before things start happening. Or they'll probably start cropping up at random either way.

Cool beans. So like, the current shamanism / two gods isn't specific enough, or do I need to make like some more larger offerings, or what exactly?

More give me something defined to pin down. Your offerings at present and the gods seem mainly devoted to luck, which is a pretty vague concept, and difficult to implement. Like predicting the future- not really something I can put in the RP, since I can't actually predict the future.

I could see predicting the future is easy, just conclude the most likely course of action.

Knowing the future is more improbable the predicting the future, that being said, giving details of a region nearby should be possible, "I see a great valley in your future," or something like that.

Arent you supposed to make your own tribe ?

Tribe or char, to prevent overpopulation of the map the OP often doesn't allow the creation of a tribe.

Well so now i can only be a bunch of people working for a chief?

Nah. One guy. But that dude or dudette can be trying to forge their own tribe.

So question- my Shamaness has been praying for things like protection during pregnancy and the people have been praying for good crops, would this be considered kind of magic? Like, will asking for these things actually help my odds of such good things, or is it all useless? Does RNGsus get a buff for divine favor?

[Novas Arcanum]

Are the gods even real? I know someone asked earlier but I'm just making sure.

RNGsus isn't a genie; more of a, hmm, flea-market salesman.

So things like prayers are liable to be worth their weight in mass sacrificed and time spent. The odd muttered oath is about as effective as odd muttered oaths are in our present day.

Clap your hands if you believe.

So... My art may make him happy if I decorate RNGsus' shrine with it?

[Novas Arcanum]

Clap your hands if you believe.

Hallelujah! Praise Arkane!

Mhm,so i app as 1 Guy in an already existing tribe, right?

Odd uttered oaths? I would imagine they would be real if said person said something like, "I swear on my life, and if I do not uphold then let god strike me down." Makes no sense if you have to sacrifice a chap to divinely punish a chap. But that may get abused (like forcing chars to affirm countless oaths)

[Holy Tedalonia]

That or solo it like a boss.

Clan Bryre welcomes all, but you don't have to pick us. We welcome anybody willing to join our tribe, however we will not push hard. The only requirement in our tribe is that you serve the tribe loyally.

[Ralnis]

So I'm guessing shrines can be used as focuses for magic and magic advancement?

Yeah, no. A very basic premise of functional magic is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Unless your society has a long and storied tradition of, say, contract magic, an individually voiced oath would only have the force of whatever their honor is worth.

Eh,idk,maybe.
I had some ideas that required some particular resources if i was to make my own tribe but whatever I guess

You can always wait for a slot, although I'd say it's more reliable to let a tribe grow to split into two tribes.

Wouldn't that take a pretty long time tho?

Every post is a year, and based upon food supply you can grow incredibly fast or slow. Being in a plains it is likely that my tribe should grow fast, same to be said about other plains tribes.

So... Could my pretty art, alters, etc make RNGsus' potentially happy?

He cares for you already no matter what you do, he died for our d20 perfect rolls

Alternatively, there is a character specialization that focuses on attracting followers.
