The Cult of Chemosh

[gorboth]

Does this guild mean the other necro guild will be deleted?

-B

The current Necro guild satisfies a need the game has for variety in the layman guild slots. Unless the AoB or the guild's original creator wants it to be closed, I see no reason it should be removed. The Cult of Chemosh is not meant to replace the Necromancers of Vile Darkness. Rather, this is a fully occupational Necromancer option with a very different storyline.

Krynnish storyline even

Sort of, yes. I'm using Krynn as the setting and will delve into that lore. However, the guild concepts are probably going to be pretty specific to my own ideas. So, as far as keeping with the Dragonlance lore goes, my goal is not to break any rules, but I'm not going to be following any specific book or anything. Here's the basic lore that I am going with, and not too much farther:

Code: Select all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEITY LORE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chemosh, also known as the Lord of Bones, Lifebane,
 and the Black Goat, represents the godly force of fatalism.
 He encourages souls to give up to destiny and fate. Chemosh 
disdains life, feeling that it is wasted on the people of 
Krynn. He prefers to promise "immortality" by making souls 
into undead rather than letting them pass into the afterlife. 
Chemosh gains power as people surrender their free will to him. 
Chemosh sits in the Hall of Soul's Passing and watches the 
progression of souls into the afterlife, where he attempts 
to lure souls into becoming undead. Chemosh is the direct 
opposite of Mishakal as she promotes life and hope. He is 
the foe of all of the Gods of Good, and among the Gods of 
Neutrality is in opposition to Chislev, for disrupting the 
natural order of life, and Sirrion, for suppressing hope and 
creativity. He has few allies but sometimes works with Hiddukel 
and Morgion due to the nature of his schemes. His celestial 
symbol is the constellation Goat's Skull.

And that comes straight from Wikipedia.

Update:

Today I completed design of a large portion of the guildhall, incorporating concepts central to the guild's theme, and the magic map images that will accompany the area.

Hi all. Still lurking.

Hear you on the burnout, happened me with various guild leadership stuff over the years. And that is nothing compared to the responsibilities you took on. Happens us all.
But also hear you on how Genesis and those creative juices relating to it get in your head like no other game I've ever played.

Loved the last guild you did, Ogres felt like a whole new side to the game & something fresh.

I will be sure to pop in and try out this new one sometime.

Cheers all

Rock on Gorboth. Those pesky scops and Draugors hippiesquads have grown fat and lazy due to lack of walking corpses to hunt. It's soon time for those rainbowsquads to make a run for their money.

Update:

• Much more progress made on research and summoning mechanics.
• Many player lore achievements outlined and partially implemented.
