Lore of the World: Part I

(This message has been approved by James C. Kimball) So it is with great excitement that I get to post this:

Are you tired of not knowing the history/lore of your race? Would you like to contribute to the lore of a race? Want to support us in creating that history/lore?
If you answered yes to any of the above, then this post is for you!

If you'd like to help us in this endeavor, we ask that you start writing now. Over the next few days/weeks, we (James and myself) will be posting requests for specific races, as well as due dates. All players are welcome to submit a write up of lore, as long as you keep the following things in mind while writing:
- We may not use the work at all
- We might/will edit it heavily
- All work submitted is considered to be copyrighted by Knight Realms. If your writing is used, even in the slightest, you will receive full author/contributor credit.
You will be compensated if you submit something, even if it does not get used.

Please follow the formatting that will be posted next. Also, please DO NOT submit on this forum.
Please email all submissions to You are logged in as . Do, however, feel free to post questions on this board or message me.

Again, these are some big steps for us, so please write early submit often!

Race Name:

Description: (up to three paragraphs)

History: (up to five paragraphs)

HomeLand:
- Geography and Provinces (Type of Land, Main Province Descriptions)
- Places of Interest (Landmarks, Hang-outs, etc)
- Bestiary (Creatures common to the lands)

Society
- How They Think (Idealism, Attitudes)
- What they Build/Create (Architecture, Resources)
- How Thier Organized (Noble titles, Clans, Sub-cultures)
- What They Believe (Religious Views, Common General Beliefs)
- Heroes (Living or Dead)
- Allies and Enemies

Say that there is two parts to this we want to write. For example when/how the elves separated and then the history after the split of lets say quinarians?

Do you want us to submit two? Or just after(or before) the split?
Or just double this format and put it in the same document.

One document. Label it with the race that you are writing more about. The only difference would be if you wrote for two different races. Let's say dwarfs and elves you would need two documents for that.

Sean,

Does it have to be "big moments," that would actually be recorded in something about the Lore of the World, or can it be small moments that still might contribute to the richness of the IG world?

Crystal

it can be any moment. However it would be best if you could write a complete history. Think about the section in a d&d book. That is kinda what we are looking for.
