So I got to thinking, how advanced are we? Sure, we have swords. Sure we have cannons, but what else, we have firepower but do be have the knowledge that makes us advanced? Do we have Isaac newtons? What about Albert einsteins? I mean like how many great minds do we truely have? I would like this thread to be used as to discuss and share your characters' or your factions' philosophy and your intuectual advances and thoughts.
 
Pardon, but please ask these question in the Lore Q and A thread.
The thing is that, I want people to converse and talk about their own personal philosophy that their character and faction have, that isn't allowed there, and thing that I look forward to seeing here can have a lot or nothing to do with server lore, and nothing to everything to do with player/faction lore, that's why I made the thread
 
I'd imagine that it'd be somewhere before the RL Age of Enlightenment what with the fantastic racism and such.
 
I think Alexander Kade used to be a literary scholar that wrote tonnes of books about scientific theses, but these books were outdated as time went by and I never remade them, resulting in the entire collection becoming lore in compliant.

I don't think there is many sci-ency philosophical characters because it requires a certain OOC understanding of the subject, and most people trip over the complexity of the lore.

Not to mention the lore can be subject to sudden changes. Very difficult to do science in a universe without concrete laws.
 
Well I beleive that we fall under the laws of physics to a degree, or thing that wouldn't have a whole bunch to do affecting main server lore, like the reflecting of a mirror or the splitting of white light through a crystal. Personally I see my faction of having a socialist type of society, we help each other, making sure no one is left to fend for themself, but we also encourage shops and the such, aka a free market. We don't quite follow a serfdom or any other type of governance exept socialism, (keep in mind it has subtle but large difference from communism) I know we actually have universities that rp wise are studying different aspects of light and dirt, following the scientific procedure. Things like this, when I finish my character I'm going to try and lead him into a direction to figure out crop rotations and different farming methods.
 
Barjuk's form of government is similar to a tribal hierarchy. The Chieftain is charged with the safety and protection of the clan and is the final voice in any matter, an absolute monarchy. You have people who assist and advise him such as: warlords and shamans. However, being an Orc faction there are elements that most human civilizations to not implement. For example, the role of Chieftain is not obtained by family relations, rather proven feats of strength and ability. A concept that the Barjuk Orcs are not fond of is prison. In our eyes, why would we bother providing food, water, and shelter to a criminal? Criminals pay the blood price or a trial by combat. Orcs, in general, seek a strong sense of honor and seek out glory wherever they can. The most preferable end for an Orc is going down in a berserk rage while taking down as many foes as possible. The Orcs hold their religion in high regard, but never have they tried to force their beliefs on others.

Malikar gro-Arzuk, the Chieftain of Barjuk, has been to Regalia several times and has formed his own opinions of the civilization there. He sees the idea of "nobility" counterproductive to the goals of the state. If you have several selfish people in power it is rather hard to get them to strive for a common goal. A common formality among humans is bowing to a superior. In Barjuk culture, it is a sign of weakness and submission, where strength and mutual respect are most desired. He follows a strict code of honor, but is not afraid to bend the rules to do what he believes is right.
