Doviello

[thomas.berubeg]

Sorry for this slurry of Background threads, but i have another question:

What are the basic beliefs of the various civs before they get assimilated into one of the big religions?

(i'm asking because i am writing up a NOTW, and some of the character might be influenced by their mythology)

for example:

Orcs and Goblins are devoted to Bhall. are there any specific rituals or actions that they could use?

Doviello: i'm assuming they are divided into different clans, and have animal totems, believing their totems to able to infuse them with power? (or am i going out on the wrong limb here?)

i'll add more as i think of them...

The Doviello are most liekly to venerate Camulos. From the Religion thread:

Camulos- Angel of War (Chaos). Those that venerate Camulos don't comply to any organizational structure that anyone can understand. There are hundreds of factions and they are just as likely to fight each other as they are to fight other groups.

Here is yet another reason to have a stickied references thread. There is alot of info regarding the world of Erebus, as well as a few mini-mods and maps scattered around this forum. I think it would be helpful if we had a thread for which the first couple posts could be updated to provide links to these resources. A neat and tidy, efficient and useful, one stop shop.

lol or maybe just a working Wiki would do.

 

[Ekolite]

Yeah that's a good idea. There's so much interesting stuff about Erebus and it's history but you can never actually find anything.

 

[marioflag]

I subscribe the Religion Thread should be stickied.

 

[Broken Hawk]

I'll go through it and put the info in the wiki. How about that?

 

[White Elk]

That would be helpful but a number of us here cannot access the wiki. I had thought of going back through the all the old threads and putting a link thread together. But if its not stickied it wouldn't help near as much. Also I came into the game after Fire and think I may confuse some of the versions.

You can always put a link in your sig so it is easy to find.

Nikis-Knight has a great idea especially since I just discovered I can't access the wiki. How long has this been going on? Is anyone working on it?

 

[White Elk]

A sig link would definitely justify the work a little more and some people would be helped by it. But I for one am such an infrequently active poster that it wouldn't help near as much as a sticky would. But I do understand there needs to be limits to stickied threads. I'm just thinking that with the volume of posts asking about background info on Erebus, and requesting links to mod-mods and maps that there are alot of people missing out on things they would enjoy if only they had better access to it.


I and some others have had problems accessing the wiki even when other posters could use it. Then from time to time it seems to be down for everyone. Its a shame since its such a great resource.

 

[Ekolite]

Yeah, the wiki is constantly down for me. Does anyone know how to fix it?

 

[Nikis-Knight]

To be honest, I think a thread linking old posts would be doomed to frustration anyway; only so many old threads are kept by the board, some old ones have been lost and more will at the rate of posting in this forum. It wouldn't be much more work cut-and-pasting to a word document, though, that could be saved to someone's hard drive.

 

[Broken Hawk]

I'm willing to collect info in a Word doc for a "History of Erebus" but then what do we do with it? It would be great if the wiki worked.

 

[White Elk]

What do you mean by 'lost' Nikis? I can still find my first posts made nearly 5 years ago. As far as I know no threads disappear. Depending on your "Thread Display" settings, you will not be seeing threads made after a certain date. They are still there though. I've set mine to "Show all threads". The settings range from "last day" to "show all". I don't know what the forum default is. This setting is located in.. My Account/ Edit Options/ Thread Display Options/ Default Thread Age Cut Off.

This is another reason why a link thread would be useful. Some posters
may not realize that there are threads beyond what they may see.

You could post it in its own thread here and then we can sig link to it for now. And when/if the wiki gets running consistent it will be ready for posting there. And perhaps the "History of Erebus" could be posted on the FfH web site?

 

[Nikis-Knight]

uh-huh. Well, Thanks for that, now I see all strata of the archeological history of the FfH forum

 

[White Elk]

hehe perhaps looking at some of FfH's original threads will bring back some cool memories for you

Looking back, its hard to believe you guys have done so much in such a short time.
