Roled Xorkiuth with two main goals in mind, first: get Morius tattoo and second: join Scarab cabal. On these subjects, failed on both. Scarab cabal for obvious reasons, Morius tattoo... i may have lost the line at some point.

Aside of that, i had great time with Xorkiuth. As sphere Pride developed the character over time, it was very challenging and i kept pushing things to be that way. I took the hints from empowerment interview and tried to apply it to the character the best way i could, but ended up a lonely path, I pushed things to looks like:
- If i have no equals, why call anyone an ally? And i walked/ranked/hunted/explored alone, saved for one rank exception.
- If someone died to me already, why should i loot to make them weaker? I want challenges, and i rarelly looted.
- Never accept help or join to a common goal. I can do everything by myself, i am too proud and offer me help is an offense to me.

I really tryied to roleplay this character, but in the end i lost steam, as i lacked perspectives. I was given a shot at scions (pre-hero), but my times are too irregular to be on the cabal, so i have no regreat over it. It is not for me.

As duergar for shaman's race, i think it would be good as an imperial with black channel. Play uncaballed and with basic equipment it is an issue. Add to that, 95% of the fights against divine/wrath/light weapons and you start to get the picture. On the other hand, PvE, duergar is amazing.

So, big thanks to Morius. It was my first Morius follower and boy, i was surelly surprised. I really looked at your religion from the outside, and tought several times to myself: "its suppeficial". But the context you created and deep immersion you do with the sins, it is just amazing. I regret for the people i invited to your church and did not come with me, you lost a great opportunity to roleplay. Morius, you are great at that. Specially the benevolent/evil role you have. Thanks for your time and attention. Keep rocking.

To the staff. Thanks a lot for the effort you all put into the game. I know i was being watched a lot with Xorkiuth, don't know why, but i was (in a good way i mean here).

To the Immortal who acted as Lich Coprophagous in my Scarab interview, a big thank you. Deep, well developed questions, on religion, dogma, conflicts, etc. Amazing.

To the player base, had a great experience in general. Thanks for mixing it up, fights, roleplay and fun together.

See you in the fields.

#138778, "And how the proud have risen"
In response to Reply #1


          

Pride is one of the most demanding of my spheres, if not the most. And you, my dear Xorkiuth were wonderful. I enjoyed our time together and am glad you found depth in sin.

I wished dearly to keep you among the Scions, but it demands high activity. Which is no comment about your quality, as I think you were good.

That you took the concepts of pride to heart means a lot for the religion. No allies, no equals, and help is an insult. Even if you lost steam, you managed to come across very prideful.


"And it is a mark of a tyrant to dislike anyone that is proud or free-spirited; for the tyrant claims for himself alone the right to bear that character, and the man who meets his pride with pride and shows a free spirit robs tyranny of its superiority and position of mastery; tyrants therefore hate the proud as undermining their authority." - Aristotle, Politics
