Every so often I reread the lore news posts, and now I feel I have to state how much I enjoy them. I know next to nothing about D&D, and my knowledge of these types of fantasy worlds (meaning based on the classic races like dwarves, elves, halflings, and orcs in addition to humans) is pretty much restricted to Tolkien’s legendarium (and The Elder Scrolls to a far lesser extent), so maybe that’s part of the reason why, but to me the world you are building with Solasta is a pleasant, fresh take on things.
Making the humans the outsiders, coming from another world; gods that are not linked to the creation of that particular world; having such water-affined halflings and orcs evolving from humans … it all excites me very much and I can’t wait to learn more about the world and its history.
The importance of the four organisations that sit on the Legacy Council of the Eastern Realms and their interest in Badlands exploration suggest to me that discovering the history of the Manacalon Empire and what was before the Cataclysm might be a not too small part of the game. I certainly hope to find many books and other lore pieces in the world to sink myself into. I want to read about a rich world and learn about the nations, races, and people. As a lover of ancestries, I hope to find many familiar dynasties through the ages, to find a story about someone and realise that earlier you had already heard what his great-grandfather was up to, and so on …
I’d be already interested to hear what your process is like at Tactical Adventures regarding the lore. Do you have one loremeister whose sole job it is to eagerly write away and build all the world, or is it more of a team effort and everyone contributes something?
Anyway, thanks already for the things you have shared with us so far! I’m very much looking forward to diving into the world when the game releases, and I’ll gladly devour every bit of lore that you throw our way until then …
