WOOOO!! I read your post, and I have to say I'm loving your charry, @jimss23 xD

I'm working on my post right now, preparing for chaos.

Just quick question: I don't know if it's been described yet, but what does the school actually look like? Are there iron grates around the perimeter, is it huge and imposing like a castle, or more spread out like it's a town of its own, are the paths all paved, or is there greenery everywhere? (I love describing scenery so I wanna know haha)
Dorian, are you the one adding all the spices to our food?
Of course I am.
Why?
Because frankly the food here tastes like poorly cooked sawdust. It genuinely tastes how Solas looks.

So there is a pic in the SB of the school and that's kinda what I was thinking about it. I can get more pictures of kinda what I was thinking if you want some.

If it isn't too much trouble. If it's gonna frustrate you, don't worry about it, I'll write what's in my head and you can correct me ^^

Here is a pic that has the general aesthetic I was going for, but that is very rough. Battleschool is definitely a campus that has multiple towers, large halls, courtyards, ballrooms, dining rooms, and an underground section. I will try to create another PowerPoint that contains pictures to give a general feel for how the interior might look.

Posted! Just so you know, Devon and the second shipment of Northern students will be arriving at the School accompanied by a heavy military detail for reasons that are explained in the post.

@Tortwag @Sheyren I mentioned Zoness and Leafe in my post. I hope it's okay. Please tell me if you want me to change anything!

Good first post. Minor adjustments. Domini is Sullivan's grandfather but that's a minor change. We don't have "warp" so to speak although that's the general idea. I think it is best to call it "Void Space" to keep things consistent. I can go into more detail about the technobabble if you need me too.

The assassin was a great twist. I will be sure to capitalize on that later! The idea of Devon being royalty is really starting to grow on me. I was unsure at first but I like where this is headed.

If you want to go back and give your posts some extra lore info here is some facts you can add in! Tyranus is the commander of Crucin's Vanguard. Having Daeron Jace defeat him in combat would go well with the lore.

@Basil

I had not considered languages. Go for it. I am not really a language person, except for Chinese, so I will leave that in your tender care.



Also, as a note for everyone. I will likely be responding to the early posts until we get into full gear. This is mostly to make sure the lore stays consistent. I won't ask for changes to the meat of the post unless I have to.

@LordZeus Haven't read your post yet, but Zoness is definitely arriving at the school by her own means - well, more like the means of her family, really - so, I guess the one thing you could do would be removing her from the ship - assuming you've mentioned her to be inside said ship.
EDIT: read your post! Eeeeyup, you can defintiely remove her from the entire scene, since she's not flyin' with everybody else. She probably wouldn't be in it anyway, since her family/house is supposed to not be as powerful as it was before she was born.

@jimss23 I'd like to say while you're completely new at it, you are easily one of the best DM I've ever encountered.

*Which is why the cookie apocalypse shall eventually happen, Sheyren, but jokes aside you're probably speakin' for everyone here :3*
