Great idea Atlas, thanks!
Creator Message: Howdy, I’m J-Lo (not Jenny from the block, sorry to disappoint)! I’m working on a Lex Talionis game with a new magic triangle: FE: Quintessence. I went to college to make games but I ended up in a more “vanilla” tech job. I’ve known about FE hacking for a while, but it wasn’t until I really looked into it that I saw how doable it was thanks to the large community and shared resources! So this gives me a chance to scratch that creative itch, along with DnD in which I DM and play a character in separate campaigns, and which helps give me a foothold when considering story and gameplay.
Chapters That Need Playtesting: Prologue to Chapter 6
Synopsis of the Game: In the land of Lyomidae, three rival nations have warred for millennia, each taking one aspect of the Person–Mind, Body, and Soul–as their flagship. Each aspect is governed by a school of magic–Erudite, Primal, and Spirit, respectively.
- The Magocracy of Verrint: Mind–an advanced society driven to bring others to enlightenment, through diplomacy and colonization both; some are practitioners of learned Erudite magic
- The Wilds of Massahr: Body–warring bands of nomads continually clash with each other and raid their neighbors for the thrill of battle and prestige; some are channellers of chaotic Primal magic
- The Theocracy of Belisse: Soul–humble, self-sufficient and pious folk who worship the goddess Pneuma, recently rebelled against Verrint; some are gifted with Spirit magic
This story begins when Tallis, the young daughter of the Verrinti ambassador, is sent on a peacekeeping mission to Belisse. She begins her journey helping to rebuild villages destroyed by internal bandits and raiders from Massahr, but she will quickly learn that building bridges between nations so philosophically divided will take more than good intentions. It may even require something more…quintessential.
Beyond the new magic triangle (and removal of staves!), does not stray too far from vanilla FE.
