[OOC] Ivory Heart

*pokes head in*

Couldn't help but notice the direction this OOC thread was taking...

Teach the mages an elaborate secret handshake that changes every 10 days or so. :|

Just info

Don't know about graphic map, but I felt that for a start I want an easier to use linkmap that makes it possible to quickly see where everything is located and how the city actually works. Still new to Lhavit I find it a bit hard to navigate.

I had a look at how to organize the info and the locations per area.
The result so far can be found in the second post of my plotnotes for Ornea.

I already bookmarked it Ornea. Exceptional work. Have cookies!

"Hail Salamander.

I once was an investigator like you, then I took an arrow to the butt."

Hahahahahaahaah! :lol:

*ahem*

Yeah, great work Ornea! But I wouldn't take his cookies, they are probably stuffed with some sort of poison that induces hallucinations

Have some Sweet Oblivion instead

Ornea. I just have to say, great job. I hope that your organization system is implemented, for one simple reason. It is freaking awesome.

Seriously though, I already had a pretty good idea of what Lhavit looked like, but this would clarify SO much.

I always knew you had some daedric blood in you Brandon.

It was the goatee, right? You can always tell from their facial hair. Sal, you are obviously the Nord here.

As there's several knowledge sharing centers on the top tier of Tenten one logical option could be that wizard knowledge center is located there too.

The Bharani Library
The Basilika
The Divine's Gateway (if this is going to be kept)
The new "Wizard Place"

I have been thinking a LOT about everything that is going on in Lhavit. Specifically what I have been doing, and what my next steps are. In a way what I am doing here feels a lot like shopping for shoes. Do you know that feeling where you find that one pair that is just awesome. Looks great, good price, and you think it is going to be the best thing in the world. Then you try it on and walk around in it for a little bit and you find out it cramps your toes, is too narrow and all in all is not right for you at all. This is what I feel like I am doing in Lhavit right now. As I am writing down my ideas they FEEL great, awesome, inspired, etc. Then I walk around in these 'shoes' for a minute, let it settle in, and I realize its not really a good fit.

I have once more edited the Atlas and the Wizard register, basically back to what it was or at least close to it. I have been putting way too much focus on magic in the city, and if you all remember my main goal was to bring Lhavit AWAY from magic as much as possible. But making mages wear patches? Giving them their own magic zones? Its like putting up a huge sign that says 'hey all you mages i made you a home RIGHT HERE'. Thats not what I want, and its not what I feel is right for the city. So I have changed it back a bit. By law wizards must register, thats how it has always been. If you use magic in a way that is not permitted, such as in the streets, your punishment will be more severe if you have NOT registered. So be sure to register! Jobs will still be obtained through the Cosmo Center, HOWEVER, magical related jobs WILL BE LIMITED. I will make a note of it later, but there is every likelihood that just because you have magic does not MEAN you will start off with a job USING that magic. Instead you will most likely start off in some other job, and then be given opportunities in RP to earn a job using your magical abilities. How this will work exactly I am not yet completely sure, but it is still a work in progress.

NOW with these updates done I feel like I can finally move on to something I have been wanting to do for a while now. I am going to rework the system on how you get business loans in Lhavit. For now it is safe to assume they come from the Towers collectively, but that may change as I read more. I will develop a form you can fill out and PM to me which will basically be an OOC and IC petition for a loan. This will work in conjunction with what is already in place as far as business plans go. Stay tuned for the updates, and I apologize for the sudden and very opposing changes. Next I want to not so much change what is there, but bring more emphasis to what we already have.

Sincerely yours,
Mirage

Don't worry, Mir, the reasons you explained make perfect sense (to me at least). Looking forward to what else you've up your sleeve.

Also, I'll keep an eye on that wizard job thing and its specifics. I hope it'll be fully fleshed out soon!
