Dear citizens and members of MassiveCraft, today I must sadly report we at the MassiveCraft staff have had a destructive fire! Don't worry, all of our lore is intact, our coding is safe, and our schematics have never been more innovative! Buuut our library was unfortunately burned down to the ground. We still have some of the old works in our archives, but sadly we don't have much reading material anymore. That, my good friends, is where you come in…
Hello players of MassiveCraft, my name is HydraLana. Today I am pleased to announce the launch of the Literature Project. A few years ago, staff headed a project to have players add "Tales" or pieces of more flexible and less formal writing onto the wiki to serve as pieces of or whole texts one might find In-Game. Well, today that project returns with me at the head and a new lease on that section.
How to Use Literature
At first glance, Literature holds an odd place on the Wiki but is actually one of the more useful sections for In-Character roleplaying. Literature has four main categories, with three levels of knowledge. They are:- Common Knowledge: Common knowledge is knowledge or information that can be freely known to all characters, regardless of social standing or cultural background.
- Nobility Knowledge: Nobility knowledge is only attainable by those of the highest classes in Aloria. The knowledge within this section would be considered highly guarded, and unobtainable by those from lower or common classes unless specifically granted unto by a character that falls within this standing.
- Specialized Knowledge: Specialized knowledge is knowledge obtainable only by characters who come from certain environments, specialized in certain fields, or studied certain events. I.E, characters who were born and raised within the province of Ithania wouldn't know much from literature from the Masaya of Farah'deen.
Project Details
Unlike other projects, we will not have an application process for this project but instead, allow players to try their hand at adding to the Wiki freely. We ask that submitters try their hardest at proper grammar, punctuation, and lore compliant content. The one exception to the expectation of lore compliance is the Nonfictional Prose section. A larger list of what to do and what not to do is available in the Repository. This thread is to also serve as a question space while a link will be provided to both the format for your writing and another thread where people will post their works.
