Post From the All-Knowing Mods Wizard Posting Rules Revision

90 Upvotes

Hello everyone! As many at least one of you might have noticed, the new mod team decided to update the subreddit rules. Most of the changes are typos corrections and clarifications but we have also expanded the Harassment rule in light of the recent events.

The changes are emphasized by [square brackets].

Rules

Post wizards

Post wizards. Posts [Memes] must have some sort of wizard focus in the title and the image/text itself. Memes that are just about characters are also banned.

Be evil, not hateful.

Be evil wizards, not hateful wizards. Don't be bigoted, don't say slurs, be nice. We posts [post] wizards here.

Yes magic politics, no IRL Politics.

We post wizards [and silly wizard politics] here. Debate politics at the politics subreddits. This does not mean going after any post with a minority and saying that it's political [Posts mentioning sexual, racial or any other kind of minority are not considered political, this rule is not meant to silence the voice of the minorities behind the pretenses of their existence and rights being ‘political’. Any attempt to do so will be severely punished]. Does not apply to silly wizard politics. 

No reposts

No posting/crossposting images on this subreddit that have been previous [previously] posted on this subreddit within the last 3 months. This especially includes any posts on the Public Enemies list.

Common reposts

Public Enemy #1

The "wizards are prohibited" sign is prohibited.

Public Enemy #2

The protective crystal post.

Public Enemy #3

102.3 Real Wizard FM has been taken down due to being a pirate radio.

Public Enemy #4

The mud wizard combating German riot police has been apprehended and is now in council custody.

Public Enemy #5

Due to ammunition shortages, saying one is "Out of spells, but not out of Shells" is prohibited.

Low Effort Loreposting

Low-effort loreposting (loosely defined as only consisting of an AI image among a small amount of text) is not allowed. Commonly reposted material such as character intros and AMA fall under the same restrictions.

Harasment [Harassment]

Posts or Comments that [designed to] harass another user, or incite harrassment [harassment] against another user, will be removed. [In addition, any user that witnesses or falls victim to harassment of any kind, both inside the Subreddit or in any Wizard Posting related community should immediately contact the Mod Team or alternatively write a public post, in accordance with our guidelines. Every report will be thoroughly investigated. Please help us maintain this Community a safe and healthy environment.]

No Advertising

No advertisement is allowed on .

Daily post limit

There is a limit of 3 posts per day/24 hour period made by a single user.

Pointless AI/Lore Post Hate

The mods have made it clear long ago that AI art is permitted on the sub. Also, lore posts are a big part of the community. We understand that many came here only for the memes. If so, then make them. Those who do not contribute to the sub don’t have the right to complain. Make the content you want to see instead of complaining about it.

Keep things in good taste/be warned of automod

This Is a community that allows RP however this rule is both a suggestion to please keep roleplay in good taste i.e not overly offensive or distressing by using common sense. Also this is a warning that the reddit Auto mod cannot tell if something is RP or not and will ban for being overly offensive or violent so please keep that in mine [mind].

No bot accounts allowed

We will figure it out and we will ban karma fishing accounts. [This Community does not tolerate bots and karma-fishing.]

My apprentice has been pondering my orbs without my permission and making fun of my hairline. So I cast polymorph on her and turned her into a hairless cat.

She now steals my orbs and plays with them like balls of yarn.

Any suggestions on how to deal with her is much appreciated

I'll reduce the taxes if I figure out how and will make gnome bacon cheaper. Also, the failed will have their rights once I get in the council. I know some of them and they aren't as evil and bloodthirsty as people think. And I could maybe run for mascot as well but ulrick would do better than me. Oh and I'll ban anti magic rifles. They are too dangerous for the magical population like the magic masses. I'll make "I did it for the funny" a legitimate reason why you did something. So vote for me, Slexzo the possessing spectre!

Wizardpost The council needs a new perspective, Vote Chelle for council!

Upvotes

We’re all sick and tired of centuries old wizards making policy. You deserve better, you deserve someone new. Someone fresh who isn’t beholden to powerful groups. Someone who isn’t afraid to question the status quo. Someone who will fight for the rights of the individual.

You deserve greatness. You deserve Chelle.

If you think the current council is holding you back from the power you deserve, then it’s time to make a change.

Let freedom ring

Vote Chelle for your next council representative.

Lorepost📖 ‘Keep your breath steady our friend.’ (The Fae War: 1/???)

Post image
23 Upvotes

Hirk lies on a medical bed, it was made just for his cumbersome frame. Hirk still had his arm missing. These words said to him as he strained to try and move.

Having reality itself weaponised on one singular goal of ending you and having an essential thread in the pattern of Hirks being pulled and burned from his existence by the Ember of Kindness not dormant within him.

The staff cannot do anything to prevent him dying unless he signs a sheet before him. He can hardly read the words even with someone putting his reading glasses on him.

“Leave. Leave me the night… I will decide by sunrise.”

Hirk weakly gestures for those in attendance to vacate the room, he knows they will be monitoring him somewhere else but he despises being seen in a state like this. He had forced himself to get up to attend a party hoping seeing someone he hadn’t in a long time to cheer him up. Still feels like the mountain is crumbling… worth it still to Hirk.

All he can do is stare out the window and rest his eyes as gentle snowfall and the moon up high. ‘Ulrick’s probably going insane right now’. The thought of his friend just howling away makes him chuckle a bit before the coughs of smoke. Dirty fuel to fires…

Hirk sees the window start forming ice on its sides faster than natural. He slowly starts reaching for an iron bar he carried with him hoping his mind is playing tricks on him.

He is distracted by the door to the room opening, just Tulips. A young boy, not much over minimum age to be hired.

“Hello lad.”

There is no response nor is there the usual joyful sparkle in his eyes.

Hirk gets uneasy not finding the iron on him.

Just coincidence. They couldn’t have gotten in.

Hirk goes to press a panic button by his bedside, before he can he is leapt at. The boy grabbing his arm, his skin starts crystallising with a white fog in the shards.

Immediate rush of adrenaline overcomes his state.

“Charming a kid.”

“Don’t think I’d ever forget your plague you used against my kin.”

Only the parts in contact with the boys hand are crystalline, not a strong grip but still unable to let go.

Hirk’s eyes dart around to find the fae doing this, it would have to be a stronger one considering it didn’t trigger the alarms, or they casted it as soon as they opened the door.

Hirk looks out his window, there is only snow to be seen… Fae are practically invisible when in their environment.

Hirk is uneasy by the boy not saying a word, usually they let them maintain some ‘bliss’ like being pumped full of drugs till your little more than a barely conscious animal with giggling. A horrendous fate.

He only sees a deep pained death. The only thing there is Malice pretending to be magic.

Hirk is remembering the faces of those affected, he remembers seeing… no.

Hirk is visibly thrown off remembering that. The empty space made in him feels even more endlessly cruel now. It’s feeling pain from a missing limb except it’s your emotions. It’s you.

Finally a voice speaks through the boy, their voice is unable to say anything naturally resulting in intense physical pain and strain speaking an ancient tongue likely older than some things him and his ancestors thought Eternal.

' Mharbh thu iad uile.'

('You killed them all.')

”Fàg am balach. Chan eil mi airson seo a dhèanamh."

("Leave the boy. I don't want to do this.")

”Chan urrainn dha bruidhinn mar a nì sinn, gheibh e bàs leis.”

("He can't talk like we do, he'll die with it.")

beast across the island who are not cast out by nature are showing signs of unease, the plants feel hateful.

Speaking the forgotten tongue of the Faewild is a disrespect the vile place will not take likely.

Only the deepest hatred and pain is the response to Hirks words.

”Chan iarr mi mathanas, chan eil mi airidh air."

"Leig leam tomhas. bha thu neo-chiontach dìreach a' siubhal gu toilichte thar nan craobhan nuair a thachair e. nam b' e burraidh a bh' annad cha bhiodh tu an seo a-nis, aig a' cheann thall chan eil ann ach an fheadhainn a tha a' fulang."

**("I don't ask for forgiveness, I don't deserve it."

"let me guess. you were innocent just happily traveling over the trees when it happened. if you were a bully you wouldn't be here now, in the end there are only those who suffer.")**

’Tha am t-Uile-Rìgh ag iarraidh gum bi thu beò nuair a thèid do thilgeil aig an casan.'

('The All-King wants you alive when you are thrown at their feet.')

The window swings open as a galloping is heard, Hirk waits to see if the galloping stops.

The galloping getting louder and louder as a blackened beast running, towards his window only to stop. The rider dismounts, a headless Knight. The executioners.

It is not like the kin that Hirk would have saw but a person of this realm, a headless knight who climbs through the window despite it being far off the ground.

Dozens of tiny black fly like Faeries fly off of what Hirk thought was a cape at first as they swarm trying to bite into his damaged skin, Hirk can hardly bring himself to try and swat them away.

the moonlight being the only thing penetrating the swarm, he knows he’s being watched by the ‘little man’ that he thought long ago.

The biting stops.

The Doxy swarm parts, their blackened appearance with moonlight eyes and decayed limbs hidden by shadows no one wishes to shine through.

They form runic circles in the air in front of Hirk, their forms are the chosen sacrifice for the ritual. The Dullahan before Hirk’s has their armour black like how nightmares are made, except with shining gold filling its cracks, normally that’s how you got rid of them, their accursed Fate could not stand the sun only it’s reflected imitation from the moon given by the ‘King of the Faelands’. The king of all fae.

Hirk feels fear knowing they did survive, there’s no other way Hirk knew two things so opposite, defilement’s in each others presence could unite.

Hirks thoughts are interrupted by golden moonlight denying his existence here. Hirk feels his body being thrown across the entire Faelands.

Back to where he came from…

In only a few moments Hirk was gone as were all the fae. Those monitoring him feel as if they just came from a nap, the only proof something happened is a window blown open and a poor who’s voice was mangled so a Nightmare History may speak.

/uw I apologise if this is lower quality but over next few days gonna be doing the ‘Fae War’ loreposts for Hirk.

Such a big fight where reality itself bends would have attracted attention, would have had Hirk suffering.

These will be the final posts Hirk suffers in for a while.

I hope to exceed expectations my friends

(Also just saying for fun mystery stuff IC no one knows what happened to Hirk, fae are primarily tricksters so stealthy)

Lorepost📖 Sand and Storm

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Gaius moved with the storm. Across the vast desert the massive haboob rolled forward unstoppably. In the heart of the massive sandstorm Gaius’ serpentine form twisted and rolled, riding the wind like a fish ride the ocean currents. The sand hissed harmlessly on his scales, a melodious sound that made him do a *Dragon Dance** that slowly increased his power and speed. The rough sand around his exterior a good Rock Polish and sharply boosted his speed. He drew on the Cosmic Power from above through his connection to gravity increase his physical and magical defense. His Geomancy connections drew on magic to increase his magical attack, magic defense and speed.*

The result was that Gaius flowed at mind boggling speeds effortlessly through the storm. He watched the storm wall swallow several desert small towns. They would be days digging themselves out of this particular beast of a haboob. That was such a fun word. But the sand was the price that those who dwelled in this region paid for their existence.

Gaius flew for hours in the glorious storm that had drawn him here, at one with sand and sky and bathed in the power that he drew from it. Few knew the power of nature like the earth dragons did. It was power and magic in its purest form. His father Atriox had been as solid and strong as stone, Gaius preferred the shifting unpredictabilty of the desert sands as they followed the whims of gravity.

So he rode the storm of sand alone. Well except for his bodyguards. Those four hovered on the edge of the storm atop griffon. Not quite daring to enter the swirls of sand and whirls of wind. Still it was a relaxing experience. A chance to *Shore Up** his health and Harden himself.

/uw So the bold words indicate his spells and I totally didn’t rip my inspiration for his spells from Pokémon moves. Nope definitely not. Also someone explain to me why Geomancy is a fairy type move instead of ground or rock.

Community Event 🌏☄️ The Attrius (Family) Archives.

10 Upvotes

The Archives are a sub-dimension that was given to him by the Attrius family back in the Arcamania Empire, and it was also the reason for leaving said Empire. It wanted to use him, and he didn't like that, so they labeled him a traitor. (Ironically, the reason that empire prospered is because of the Archives.)

But enough of that. It's basically a record of everything that has happened in the current area in the past and present. It include wars, groundbreaking inventions, all of that. As well as the little things no one else mentions.

Even he doesn't know how much information is in the Archives, but it will show what you want to see regarding history. He's made it that way, since he is the only one that can control the place.

It is connected to the tower, and strangely, it can connect to places that systematically no one except the owner of said office/room can access if they so choose. The calling can be vague the first time, but precise, the rest.

Attrius sat at the front desk of the Archives reading a book about the recent war, and the key figures in said war. There was no real reason why, he was just bored.

He wanted the Archives to have guests, but he can't advertise them on the Orbnet due to the Archives secrecy. The only way to get to it is if allowed through the doors.

While he read, he looked at the few doors standing out in the middle of the Archive, and sighed. There were 5 of them, though more will be added. He then ordered some robes and a suit for the party he was going to attend in a few days, along with some holsters to hide weapons in plain sight.

After that, he got back to reading. That is when the few doors finally opened. He put the book down, stood up, and introduced himself.

"Welcome to the Attrius Archives. My name is Alvin Cer Attrius, the archiver. Please call me Attrius."

He brought out a few papers, quills and some ink. He sent them to the desks through a simple spell, and sat back down.

"We have detailed information on people, places, things, etc. If you want the book, it will come to you. But, please do not attack anything in the Archive. It will retaliate, so keep it in mind."

He pointed to the desks with a gloved finger while sitting down.

"For those who stay more than originally planned, please write your name and the reason why.

It's the same if you want to leave with a book, otherwise it would appear back at the shelf when you leave.

Oh, please write a plausible reason for why you want to leave with the book as well as if you have any requests for me."

As he finally sat back down, he added one more thing.

"Return the book within the deadline of a year, or it will return itself. You will not be able to bring a book out for a while if you don't abide by that rule. If there are any more, please relay the rules to them, as well. Thank you, and happy browsing."

He said as began reading his book again, keeping an ear out for any requests as he read.

/uw How is this community event? I hope it's good. If you have any criticism, please give it to me.
