All right for some time I have been plotting my return to Ms because...Frankly I am not giving up that easily, I did ALOT of work on that plot, and used A LOT of time preparing the lore, while the plot wont be as deep as it used to be and actually just be a map series...Anyway time to spill the beans: The plot I had intented for Mss will be carried out for Msc instead.

I require the following:
At least one qualified mapper
At least one qualified modeller
The update to Nashalrath to be released (without elves, I'm going back to Bludgeons)
And a scripter since Thothie will be permanently unavailable doing scripts for Sorc Villa and my scripts are apparently broken for some mysterious reason.

The plot will only be revealed to this involved and the team if they want to know it. I would like to possibly tie it in with Mss but I do not know which plot Mss is pursuing.

If nobody is interested this will be dropped once again, I just wanted to give everyone the chance to experience the lore I worked on, including epic revelations about the Loreldians, the Lost, and perhaps this whole plane of existance.

Gurluas, here's a word of advice that you should read. If you want people to join your little team then you should show some actual progress when you make threads like these, to enlist the help of others. Myself, and possibly others, can't take threads like this seriously when the posters are always the 'ideas guy' and won't contribute in any other way. It doesn't help that you're not going to tell any potential workers about your idea until they've agreed to help you. How would you feel if somebody told you their idea is 'epic' and then you find out they were exaggerating only to get you to promise to help. I wouldn't sign a contract until I get to read what's in it. :wink:

If I remember correctly, your lore wasn't as accepted as you hoped it would be. Unless you've drastically changed it, I expect to see some post from JM which is negative in nature, although how can you tell the difference from his normal posts. Zing! Just kidding JM, I <3

Keldorn also showed me a picture of the Elves you plan to use.

Is it just me or does the face look that of a Harlequin Ichthyosis baby?

Creepy to say the least.

I'll map for you, but when you tell me to do something I'll get distracted and make something completely unrelated to the specified task

The progress is only lore related, I cant post the lore itself as it would spoil it for everyone else here.
As for the elves I believe the parenthesis did state that they have been canceled, Bludgeons are once again the canonical Nashalrath owners and the lore was actually supported by those who knew it.
I only had minor conflicts with Thothie about irrelevant details such as the origin of Undamael, but this is changed in the current version. Make no mistake, I will do my best to stay canon in the Msc-Mss universe. All I can say right now is that it involves the Netherworld briefly glimpes in Nashalrath along with time teavel, Lost, and Loreldians. Actually I would like to talk to Thothie about it in a real time chatting program but he virtually impossible to catch.

If you wish to know more I could tell you privately, thing is, my lore did impress the former team leader of Mss enough for him to hire me, not to mention the fact that my lore was only canned because Supersoup wanted more orcs. Something which I even modified my lore to fit but apparently it was not enough.

I don't understand why it wasn't just inhabited by normal elves. Nashalrath is presumably a city in sfor (it connects there, if I recall) and it would only make sense that Eswen Mallen was inhabited by elves, like Eswen Sylen, before it was destroyed by Lor Malgoriand.

I think it's okay if you spoil the lore for us. I'd really like to know how bludgeons fit into a giant city in the middle of an ancient elven forest.

The Depth Elves were Torkalath Elves who morphed to live in underground areas. They have larger eyes, no hair as its not needed, and a very gray skin.

Apparently , Thothie vilified the idea of Depth elves and many implored me to re-add Bludgeons so I did.
The Bludgeons were a prototype for the enlightened races, just like Giants were.
The Bludgeons however had a society split, some became peaceful, some warlike, they were weak and nomadic. Until the good ones were attacked by Bludgeons, they built a city out of sheer need to defend themselves.
The evil ones overthrew them and took the city.

Their biggest weakness is that they are passive until it is too late. They had the technology to build a city, but they prefer to live in wooden huts by the coast and fish or hunt inland.

I believe I wrote a Bludgeons Trilogy explaining those events.

Well the dogcats are in league with Iposatu, who is again in league with Rashalgalia, who used to be in league with tentacles, who are so now and then in league with Talrasha, who used to be in league with Nashalrath before she was in league with the depth Elves, but at the time they were also in league with Hashalgath who in turn was in league with the dogcats.

Please explain why Nashalrath, a city in the middle of an ancient elven forest (sfor), was inhabited by giant pigs.

Bovines...Okay nevermind that for now I created a poll where you can vote whether you want Bludgeons or Elves.

As for Dogcats...
They are not part of my MSS lore and has never been.
If you want to put them in you can say they exist on a very different plane of existence which is unrelated to the ones Leann and the one the Netherworld is located on.

A glacial palace in the elder forest of the north.
And why the feck are we turning chatbots into deities?

If Iposatu is going to be any further integrated into official lore, then I'm going to endlessly harass J-M and Dridje until one of 'em makes a map with the BBEG being a lich, only instead of a lich we get fecking Alicebot at the end chanting over and over "HOW CAN I HELP YOU? GOOD EXAMPLE."

That chatbot was invented by me as a representation of the character.
I can prove it, ask him "who made you?"

Has it occurred to you that Gurluas is not his real name?
