Server Lore
Server Lore
The world of the Black Lotus is one of shadow, blood, and desire. Here lies the foundation of the server — the factions, the places, and the forces that shape the stories told within it.
The Lotus Orders
The Lotus is not a single flower, but many. Each color represents a different path, a different way of surviving the Exiled Lands.
- Black Lotus – mercenaries, assassins, and spies who thrive in shadows.
- White Lotus – monks and healers who follow the divine light.
- Red Lotus – vampires and their cartel, slinging drugs and weaving webs of influence.
- Grey Lotus – loud mercenaries and sellswords, strength-for-hire.
- Purple Lotus – sorcerers who delve too deep into the arcane.
The Hub
At the heart of the land stands the Sunken Drunk, a tavern and market that serves as the server’s central hub. Characters from every walk of life pass through its doors — to trade, to conspire, to drink, or to simply find a moment’s rest. Neutral ground is claimed here, though in practice it is kept only as long as the strong enforce it.
The People
While nearly any race or species may be written into story, a core set is considered “supported” within server lore. These receive dedicated history and recognition.
Magic and Alchemy
Power flows in many forms — the blade, the bargain, and the brew. Here you’ll find the foundations of how the unnatural is woven into the world.
- Magic – the forms of sorcery, its cost, and its corruption.
- Potions – roleplay-focused brews; effects are described, but precise numbers are set in-server and may shift with balance.
