Live and let live; I am not going to berate people for it if they want to make up their own headcanons and roleplay as such, however I prefer sticking to lore as closely as possible, and I would ask people to reconsider to play with what we have, because, hell, a roleplayer should adjust his/her character to the lore, and not dance around the lore to adjust it to his/her character.(08-04-2015, 01:07 PM)Virella Douront Wrote: Sarnai: fear we got to agree to disagree then! I'm really a firm believer that the quests are rooted into Ishgard for a reason; and with it being pointed out that the first DRK was found in Ishgard, and taking the knowledge that even AST did not manage to spread to Limsa, I cannot imagine DRK knowledge has spread outside Ishgard/Coerthas. It may be starting to spread now. But going "Hehoooo I'm a DRK from Othard." is stretching the limits a bit too far me personally.Right but whose to say a DRK wasn't in Othard (sp) for X reasons (They do travel.)and fell and his Soul Crystal was discovered by an Au Ra, and that Au Ra
then spread the teachings to others.. I mean it's VERY plausible, thanks to the DRK Class quest.
I mean hell War found hers on a corpse frozen in The Coerthas Highlands, and was mostly self trained until she met a man at Camp Dragonhead that trained her.
However what you did with War, I think that is a perfect example of having an "outsider" taking it up the DRK mantle believable without making lore up into someone's favour!
