The Lorethew Mentor Society is pleased to announce a group storytelling session with its focus on the Elven-Human War, also known as the War of Tears. Bring your own stories, songs and legends passed down to you from your great aunt's cat-sitter and have a chance at winning a prize! This event will take place on Sunday, December 12th at 8:00 PM Eastern in the heart of Leth Deriel -- inside the Sana'ati Dyaus Drui'tas at the center of the city. Bring your friends!
I will be personally hosting this event and I hope to see as many people as possible. Here's how it works: I begin by explaining what the topic is, in this case it's the Elven-Human war so I give some light background on that (so I don't steal someone's story) and then I tell a story of my own to help break the ice and set an example. Stories can be one of a few things:
a. Factual History - This is a story that is based on established game lore, spun into your own words.
b. Non-Fictional Folklore - These are original player-created stories that are NOT established game lore, but also fit within the parameters of DR lore. So it's a story that could be true, it could be a story of the war from your parent or grandparents perspective. It boils down to something that could be true and published in game, but currently is not. These are some of my favorite.
c. Myths - Stories that are completely fictional and could not reasonably be true with the knowledge we currently have. I do not encourage anything that is out of character, strongly references out of character, or is clearly a transparent attempt at bringing something out of character into the game. (i.e. Tiero Vader met Lanival on the middle of the battlefield and said, in his pitch black plate mask, "Lanival I am your father.")
There are gifts for everyone in attendance and there is an additional gift for everyone who gives an honest effort at participation. The event will run 60-90 minutes. The last one had an amazing turnout and ended at about 90 minutes when we cut it short.
Hope to see you there!
