Works well: I don't miss guild channels. I don't miss getting tells. I don't think they contributed anything meaningful to the game in terms of how the game is played but... Do differently: All of the people who would have abused those kinds of things already have the means to be able to communicate...

In truth. Even a mage who never does magic in the Davite view is eventually going to go nuts/turn evil/etc. But that seal of confession needs to apply to even capitol crimes magery and the like.

I am inclined to agree with this interpretation. Unless of course your Confessor was an Inquisitor.

I certainly do not think that public opinion should matter as much to GLs. Especially regarding new players/characters who are trying to get a depth of the game and stand to lose months of actual RL time invested in it to the whim of the public/players who wouldn't touch the Order with a ten foot po...

The amount of time is not really the heart of the problem. I don't think in other guilds your RP outside of guild stuff is constantly being measured against player and character views of Davite morality in the grand public scale the way the Order is.

As a new player who made a character for the first time with the Order I have to say one major thing. A MAJOR thing. That stands in the way of a larger and more prevalent Order presence. When any character in the Order during the four IRL MONTHS that it takes to make your rank does ANYTHING at all i...

You can't be a good Davite and be a mage. It's not possible. Dependents or not. If you're a mage and a Davite and you're not ON YOUR WAY to the Pyre you are doing it wrong. Everyone around you thematically according to the Davite belief system can be corrupted by your Taint. It's not possible. A mag...

To be honest, I think almost the exact opposite thing. I think that the Order is undermined a lot knowing that the amount of IC recourse for the actions is severely hampered by the numbers. Insofar as I think there needs to be more priests I think that the Order does need more of a presence on the g...

It says in the Lore, that Hillmen are more known to hunt with birds than with dogs so I would think that the Hillmen could have the hawk as a pet... exotic enough and specific to the race.

Well that answered half of my questions.
