Miscellaneous Lore

This section and its following posts will be regularly updated with approved community suggestions for minor details aimed to flesh out the world of Vyldermire for better character immersion. We will cover such things as unique and original plants, diseases, drugs, minor gods, and possibly more in the future. These tidbits of information can be freely referenced in posts and plots on the site. They cannot be used in PVP or PVE combat and will not affect stats.

Though they can be loosely based on real-world things in each of the categories, submissions cannot be the actual real-life thing. There are some real-life things already in existence in Vyldermire that were likely brought by Otherworlders, like potatoes and other very common veggies, some flowers that share the same name, common real-life illnesses, and even versions of real-life religions and their gods [Please see Religion in Vyldermire]. However, keep in mind that even though these similar real-life things exist, they aren't completely identical to their real-world versions due to years of Vyldermirean influence, but they also do not require listing.

Submissions should possess some fantastic property or magical uniqueness to make them interesting and important. Give plants fun and magical effects! Invent new diseases with either dire or fun symptoms and very specific cures! Create some fantasy drugs with interesting side effects that hurt, heal, or add a little spice to recreational hours! Make up some minor gods that embody serious and/or silly concepts with interesting rituals that may or may not actually be real!

Submissions, once approved and added, will be officially part of the lore of our site and thus subject to use by the site as a whole. They will potentially be altered as needed by the admin and development team as things progress. Please make sure you are prepared to creatively part with your submissions, as you will no longer retain control once they are approved. Unapproved submissions will not be recognized sitewide and, in some cases, will not be able to be used in personal plot or posts if it is deemed that they break lore.

Please use the following template for submissions!
