SACRED GROVES

Restoration Arc
༺═──────────────────═༻

Scattered throughout the lands are sacred shrines to those of the Pantheon, given a glimmer of power and held in higher regard after the fall of the Grand Cathedral. It is said they grant boons to those who would defend them, though some seek their destruction to further lessen their grip... They are sure to be an aid in the recovery of the living fragments, if they can be held and defended.

[ SHRINE RULES ]


Each shrine (one per god) has ‘applicable graces’ that apply once it has been claimed by those deemed worthy of it. If it is not applicable (Jishrimites are not likely to get a Shalherana or Theodra Grace for example) the Grace will simply not apply even if they claim the shrine. One character may hold one Grace at a time, whichever one they claimed or choosing which shrine you defend as your primary one. Graces apply to any character, be them a Vyre, Mage, or Unblessed. It will only apply to the claimant and stated defenders of the shrine in question however.

In order to claim a shrine, you must find it out in the wilderness, and post on this thread to state you have done so. You do not need to be of that faith to claim it, but you will not be granted the Grace if it is deemed non-compatible. You should update this thread with up to eight 'defenders' who can be summoned forth in cases of capturing or destroying attempts. These events/skirmishes will be DM'd and planned to try and work with the majority of the players involved regarding scheduling. Sometimes shrines may be attacked by non-player entities.

If it is already claimed, you must defeat the defenders, killing them or chasing them off, and then claim it for yourself. To destroy it is simple, breaking of stone and ruining it, and so on.

-

༺- Claim a shrine, and appoint up to 8 defenders. Do not claim more than one shrine as a player, but you may be a defender on up to two. -༻

༺- Two characters at maximum per player, try not to muddle the waters with your alts though. -༻
༺- One player may claim a shrine, do not claim more than one even on multiple characters to give others the opportunity to find them. -༻
༺- Post and update with those designated as defenders to the shrine you've claimed, so they may be summoned forth if needed, max 8. -༻
༺- Conflicts will be hosted at your shrines as people try to take or destroy them, be it other players or event creatures. -༻

༺- Inform the DM of intentions to claim or destroy a shrine others are defending, and an event will be planned! -༻
༺- Graces will apply to who claims a shrine (if applicable) and all its defenders, though defending a second shrine grants no second boon. -༻
༺- Players will be summoned forth to defend IC, they do not need to stay at a shrine at all times. -༻


Building Rules: Get permissions, and you can help to build realistic defenses. Ensure they're built IC and the materials and so on are RP'd accordingly. Keep in mind how long things take to construct, and where applicable place your props (chests of supplies, weapons, etc). Avoid large stone structures that would take too long.

I'll be updating this likely tomorrow (I'm quite tired and it's been very hot today so it's not complete), but you can find shrines in game here and there. Eventually I'll give hints to them if they're not found or maybe events for small parties, since that might be easier and more fun than flying around until they're located. Graces coming soon!

In the case that one is OOCly aware of a shrine location, but a character has no given reason to go there. What do you do in this case? Or do the characters feel a pull towards them?

Claim it, and I can throw an emote or something for you to pull it to an IC discovery

Jishrim has been claimed, but we can arrange for it to be attacked as you seek to claim it for yourselves soon, I just need current claimants defenders posted.

Also: There are a few shrines that are not 'the' shrines, and I apologise. An oversight on my part, but if you can screenshot where it is you've found I can confirm or deny if its the one.

Edit: I'll be looking into making server owned regions over the shrines, this should help

If people want to organise between themselves and others claiming shrines, you are welcome to 'fight' over the shrine that way, but for now I'll ask a couple days before I do events for them at least. I do suggest getting a combat DM to oversee if you go ahead!
