The Book of Heretic

  The original The Book of Heretic is an artefact and is currently being held in an undisclosed location. When someone joins the Hëretic, they receive their own book. Your book will have a cover individualized to you, so truly, no two books are alike. The contents of your book starts out with blank pages. These pages may fill in over time, or they may not In most cases, some of the information from the original book copies over to your individual book. You will never have an exact duplicate of the original book.. your copy of the book fills with pages that have meaning to you, and is filled with information that is useful to you. Nothing more, nothing less. ((OOC: Essentially, as you write stories, poems, battle plans, art, etc etc on this World Anvil site, it is assumed that your creations appear in your book. Your character may put entries into their book directly, but you can also RP that the information "just appeared" in your book.. perhaps as something the original book "sent" to your book, or something that your book spontaneously created. Use your creativity))

• The [Book] does not always allow its reader access to some or all of its chapters or contents. Sometimes it does this by appearing as though all the pages are blank. Other times, it scrambles the writings/drawings in such a way that it causes the reader to develop a debilitating migraine, so they are unable to focus on the contents.

 

• OOC: The content and its effects upon the guild and its readers are meant to be sometimes confusing, ever changing, inconsistent, vague, and mysterious so as to always allow the guild to have a creative and dynamic process to be written about and to describe The Book of Heretic.

 

• We occasionally have guildwide RP that makes mention of the [Book] or involves the The Book of Heretic. We encourage anyone and everyone of any rank to create such events!

 

• Use the The Book of Heretic to help flesh our your own Toon’s destiny… or don’t ! Do what you want. You are the master of your own RP destiny here !
