Questionable Questing

Tomorrow writing before work on serious bit then plan is Dream of Chaos which is also Warlock's Blade. Planning for it to be mainly serious with any lewd tied into how weird warlocks and sorcerers are

How degenerate and hedonistic is warlock society?

Bob is bob

The thing is Warlocks have accepted the Wyld into theory blood. Acting as channels and avatar for primal forces. Will and emotion incarnate. It means in terms of excess all mages Arisen from the Wyld are various degrees of excessive in a desire or nature

Andy333

In Between survival and eating, the most important thing for a creature to achieve is reproduction, so any magic system that's directly tied into nature is going to have to deal with all those feelings.

Mages are bound by oaths to a Lord or realm if in civilized society and often a noble managing a mage makes sure their oath is kept to keep the mage restrained. As if you don't. Powerful mages are shape-shifting monster forces of nature

Andy333

I'm suddenly reminded of a chimpanzee. Insanely territorial, ready to eat, attack, or fuck anything in its territory. With the strongest ape getting the most and always having to fight of younger challengers constantly trying to take his place.

Getting in tub but imagine a Winter witch. She has attendants who braid her hair and listens to her tell stories. Visiting traders has one of them get into a dual with one of the attendants and hurts them.

Now witch demands flesh and pain. Her voice many layered growls. Howling winds risen outside.

A pointed blackened frozen finger directed a curse at the heart of the one who hurt her attendant. The lord of the place has to appease the witch. She is of the Wyld and laws matter little to her blood oaths.

Very old timey fairy vibe, I'm liking.

Mages as they grow in power follow their own rules and other boundaries matter less

Andy333

Would be kind of cool that as they grow in power and based on the deals they make with various wyld spirit or the domain the follow, they have to follow certain rules or lifestyles based on that. Stuff like never being able to tell a lie or never eat meat. Stuff like that would be kind of cool.

Classic mythology logic

Andy333

Exactly. I didn't even think of that.

Bob is bob

You have heroes who wield rune inscribed armor and weapons. Those who when tempted by the power of the Wyld stuck to Glory and may now use weapons and other physical pieces of enchanted craft

Andy333

I'm going to get some sleep. Hopefully the dogs don't wake up at 4 o'clock to go to the bathroom tonight. lol. Have fun with path of exile.

Andy333

But speaking of domain and classic mythology, having the runes correspond to an ancient godly alphabet which each "letter" trying in with a different domain or power could be a nice way to tie the two together. With rooms or armour that has these certain runes getting different elemental or emotional effects depending on the domain.

Bob is bob

That's interesting. Hard to do with symbol management but very cool

Aeyo

Andy333

Heyo, how are you? My aunt's home and I'm no longer in charge of the dogs. Whooo. lol.

Andy333

No I really do love them, but for the past couple of nights they have had this really fun habit of waking up in the middle of the night to start barking and fighting over the spot on their bed. And when I asked my aunt about it, apparently that's just something they do in a dog bed or in my Aunt's bed. lol.
