Lore:
LORE OF THE LAND
or, A History of the First Great War and Beyond
Orcs Orcs have developed a reputation as vile, evil, and warlike. They are despised by many peoples throughout the land, but manage to survive, and indeed thrive, using amazing their remarkable skills. Despite popular beliefs, orcs are cunning and clever, and their politics are ruthless. Orcs have become divided among themselves into two groups: the Orcs, a higher class, and the Goblins, a servant/lower class. For ages, these two classes have been in harmony (somewhat), but recently a rebellion started in the Goblin class, led by the infamous Rishnrk the Ugly (only extremely stupid or brave people actually call him ‘the Ugly’). Orc King Ursh knew that the Goblins would eventually overthrow the superior Orcs through sheer numbers. There was only one way to stop this rebellion, and that was war. This would not be a Civil War, which would rip the Orc nation apart, but a war against all of the Orcs enemies. Orcs and Goblins alike would serve as equals in the Grand Orc Army, thus giving the Goblins a heightened since of belonging within the nation. The First Great War of the Land was begun.
Humans Humans have been described by some as the most amazing creatures to walk the land, and by others as the dullest beings to ever rise out of the ground. Humans are curious, eager to explore anything and everything. As a result, human colonies, and eventually cities, towns, even kingdoms, became widespread throughout the land. Humans lack the absolute monarchy maintained by the Orcs, or the democratic system of the Elves. Rather, they have several smaller kingdoms spread throughout the land, ruled by kings, senates, and other such political systems. Because humans are ever-expanding, they have, of late, encroached upon the lands of both the Elves and the Orcs. While the Elves were content to sell their some of their lands (for a bit more than reasonable, mind you), the Orcs, who, as you’ll remember, were looking for a fight, saw this as a ‘threat,’ (actually, they could have stopped most human invasions of their lands) and fought some small battles with bordering human cities. The humans, in their quick judgment, declared a unified war on the Orcs. So the First Great War truly began.
Elves The Elves are unlike any other race. Some legends will say that the elves are peaceful, kind, and wise (as well as servants to a fat man in a red suit), but this isn’t necessarily true. Elves have developed the most powerful army in the land, and will go to war with anyone who dares challenge them. However, they are not like the humans, who rush into needless war, or the Orcs, who look for a war to fight. Rather, they debate within their senate the best course of action to take, as with any thing they do. As a result of their powerful army, the elves are looked upon in the land as dangerous, not to be messed with, and have become isolated from the other races of the land. Elves are not limited to living in forest, either. They have built several grand cities throughout the land, all of which are unrivaled by all other races. Another disadvantage facing the elves is their borders. They are surrounded on most every side by another race. So, when the Orcs and Humans began fighting, the Elves knew it was a matter of time before they were invaded. The Elves began diplomacy, trying to make peace, but the warring neighbors were to full of hatred for each other, and needed the war too much. So the Elves made the most daring move in their history (indeed in all of the land’s history). They fought both sides. The last piece of the First Great War was in place. And the largest destruction the land ever saw was taking the form of a terrible three sided war.
The First Great War The First Great War was a terrible one. In the end, no one side really won the war, and everyone lost much. Twenty years of fighting, chaos, and destruction ruined the land, and its people. Few can recall just how it ended, and most assume that, eventually, the Three Armies became so diminished that continued war would be pointless, indeed harmful. There are legends though, legends of an unknown child, with mystic powers, singlehandedly stopping the fight, and bringing peace to the land. But in the aftermath of the First Great War, few cared about how they got there, but rather how they would recover. The Humans had been pushed back from their previous boundaries, the Elves were no longer a powerful military force, and the Orcs, in a terrible blow, had seen the death of every last Goblin. Opportunistic rebels throughout every nation began coups and revolutions. Throughout the land, the last few truly peaceful nations were being pushed back. Poverty spread as rapidly as starvation and famine. The Orcs, devoid of their servants, were forced to go to new survival extremes. The Elves abandoned many of their great cities, which had fallen into disrepair. The Humans became even more scattered and leaderless. The world waited with baited breath for a hero, any hero, to rise forth and bring peace back to the land.

If I can talk to you on skype, you will most likely get the job.
We have a mapper, so as soon as we get a lore writer and a good story, we can come up with a basic map design and get started!
Until then, Max and I are working hard on new plugins for the server to use!
I can't really look at builders yet. We need to have all of the terrain done before we start getting builders together. And I'd like to have some lore about the types of buildings that should be in the cities first, as well.
Name: CNSoup Age: 16 Skype: cnsoup Previous Work: I have some character lore for a previous RP server (Kingdom of Ergos), and I might create a lore for the same server soon. Paragraph: The character lore is pretty lengthy, but here it is:
Beren was the first-born son, born to a middle-class merchant family, and was trained to take over the family business eventually. He excelled in the work, but found no joy in it. Rather, he loved books, and stories, tales of the brave hero's of old. His parents were somewhat disappointed, but proud. They had a second son, as well as a daughter (they were twins). The younger son, Turin, in time, became jealous of Beren's position in the family business, and grew to hate him. A fight was inevitable. Beren was prepared to hand over the business to Turin, but the younger brother was full of anger and hate. It began as an argument, on a stormy night (cliche, right), but as the yelling became louder, and their sister, Vilya, stepped in to stop them. Turin, in his blind anger, struck out at her, enraging Beren, who drew his sword. A furious duel followed, with neither brother winning. Turin, in a foul move, threw dirt in Beren's face, and, knowing he could never face his family again, ran. Rumor has it that he went to find the last of the Fallen Ones, but that is a long and unrelated story.
Beren decided soon after the fight that Vilya should inherit the business, and he would leave on a soul-finding journey. He traveled far and wide, seeing what he could, but settled down, around his 75th birthday, working with local merchants to make a living. He continued to study old tales and stories, collecting a library of books, learning a wealth of knowledge, which he would teach to anyone who cared to listen to him. Ten years later, his parents died (on the same day, sadly), and he returned home to mourn for them. For a time, he lived with Vilya, and helped her in the business, but soon wanted a family of his own. He married his lifelong friend, Lorellin. She was very happy with Beren, and loved him. They had two children together, a son and a daughter.
Beren was content, truly happy, but his research was his undoing. Evil persons heard of his discovery of riches, and wealth beyond belief, and wanted it. They would do anything for it. And Beren knew that. So he ran. He left his family, promising to keep in touch when possible, and traveled to his old haunches in the wilderness. The shelters he had left behind were still intact, so he went from one to another, forever hiding, living off the land. Whenever he could, he would send a messenger to his wife, telling her what he was doing, inquiring of the children, and her. He would wait on the outskirts of the towns, waiting for her reply, then he would be off, running once more. He will run as long as he needs to. Anything to keep his family safe. But he has vowed to return one day, and live out his life in peace, with the ones he loves.
Anything else?: No, not that I can think of. If you have any questions, though, I'd be happy to answer them.

I don't think I can take you unless I can see some previous work.
Sorry.
If a lorewriter posts his 'previous work' it could obviously be something they copied off the internet which means you dont really know if the person you are recruiting has any skill at all and is just going for a easy job to look like he was important part of staff. Im starting to get tired of explaining this to people ;p

Smart thinking, but if you google the work and it has their name on it, it's theirs. (though I didn't think of doing this) xD

First, writing is not an easy job. At least, good writing isn't. Second, if you're accusing me of plagiarism, you're both wrong and misguided. I have enough integrity to create original works, and will willingly prove it. Third and final, you shouldn't assume a writer is a male. You should have said: "If a lore writer post his/her'previous work'..." Nobody likes a sexist.
