Ive noticed people bringing in Roman gods, norse gods and even christian lore into factions. Ive heard that realm has approved this but I ask if we can just stick with calradian lore. All this real life stuff just breaks rp. Id be fine with this if we decide to base our server on history but if we are using calradian lore we cant have real life religions "happen" to form. Lets see what others think about this worship of thor and mars...

But anyways admins, this was a unanimous poll so could you ask the leaders of these clans to change lore?

Thing is no one really believes in the Norse gods any longer, the rule (At least my interpretation of it) was meant to keep people from being offended, and to make sure no one is offended in general, however no one practices Paganism any longer, for obvious reasons. However, there are some branch off religions like the Legion which believes in some quite intricate and amazing things (Shout out to Skytten).

Anyways what they need to do is flesh out the WRP lore more or bring it back even. I'm sure it had a list for Nord Gods.. at least ToR did.

The point of calradian lore is so we use it, bringing back stuff from real life isnt rp, the nordic culture parralels real viking culture... use that. And its not really that they no longer exist, its that its bad rp to say a culture that actually existed in history "happened" to appear. The reason for no irl religion is for rp purpose I beleive, not bcuz it offends. Other wise I could bring in some game of thornes stuff like the starks and stuff like that

IMO i like my real religion and dont mind using it, since i have implemented it (since i came in so 2 weeks) i had nothing but respect for one another and it was beautiful. I say "Peace be with you" the multiple persons responded with "and with you *Smile* or *cheery laugh*" and there is NO flame wars so long as people dont be dicks. Even if that happend admins could temp ban (kick) others to cool em off. I like the idea and no one minds. People now respond to me with what i responded to them so many times. Its awesome to see a community of RP grow like that

I'm of the opinion that Calradian lore in general is rather constrictive. I honestly believe that historical Europe would allow for alot more cultures, identities, amd religions. Swadia= stereotypical western European feudal society without anything unique Sarrinids=stereotypical Middle east/north Africa Kergits= Mongolian/Tatar nomadic people Veagirs=Slavic culture Nords= stereotype Scandinavian culture Rhodoks= a weird mix of Swiss, Scottish, and Italian
= a boring mass of stereotypes with no depth or even multiple countries of any of these culture, just one for each with no mixing (besides rhodoks) and no in-betweens
I say use the 1200's Europe/north Africa/ middle east/ Mongolian steppes and you'll get alot more for your roleplay in terms of actual depth of any of the cultures/ countries.

Also it should be noted that Persistent Age, another mount and blade mod that's vastly superior PW and only needs scripts, and a server could be used for a "real life" lore. Also what's worse is PEOPLE ARE ONLY SWADIAN AND NORDS! Why is that? Because all the armor and gear people like is faction restricted to those cultures. In PA and real life, you can play as almost anything as any culture (except the Xbow vs. archer exchange of course)
