Possible edit required for Az'atta's LORE
« on: January 04, 2010, 01:04:50 am »
This is something I've been thinking about for a while now, and have spoken to others about, so now I will bring it up in a more public matter.
I would like to open a request to edit or revise the lines, "Bring peace and redemption to all of Layonara in an active way. Do not, however, take up weapons or dress yourself in armor unless it is to prevent harm from coming to yourself or others" in Az'atta's LORE page.

The part that I take most issue with, particularly when considering how the church has removed Az'attans for training in martial arts or fighting in general.

Here are some example threads that I think should be considered when reviewing this:

http://forums.layonara.com/character-approvals/256622-new-character-submission-shade-shaedwyn-rathmyr.html

I think the eventual approval of these characters represents a gradual shift to a view of the Az'Attan church that rejects most, if not all, combat--even training in the last submission gets the character kicked out of the temple lore-wise. Granted, I'll concede that I know the player of this character personally, and he in no way wanted to be Az'attan, but the fact that this was approved shows what's acceptable protocol in the Az'attan church.

I would also appreciate it if Hellblazer posted the run-down of his arcane archer CDQ, as I believe this supports my observation. If I remember correctly, Tyillaan wound up saving some Az'Attan lives through combat, but was ultimately shunned for it.

Again, I am proposing that these lines should be changed to limit Az'atta's members to even less combat, or at least say that many members would even choose death before choosing to fight.

Thank you. :)

Actually, She failed at saving them.. well more in the they chose to let themselves be sacrificed.

I have to agree that from what I have seen since the changes the " Do not, however, take up weapons or dress yourself in armor unless it is to prevent harm from coming to yourself or others" is totally irrelevant as from what has been rped in cdq's and other aspect on the forum tend to show that they would simply not fight even if it meant others would be killed by their inaction.

But yes, because Tyillaan chose to pursue the arcane archer path, she has been kicked out of the church. Not because she tried to save the clerics. But because she chose to follow a martial path. Well in fact, both would probably have gotten her kicked out anyways.
