OK guys, Micro here! after receiving feedback/suggestions from a lot of you lovely people over in this thread: http://www.rpgmakermv.co/threads/what-would-you-like-to-see-from-the-writing-rt.1774/#post-16830 I tried to put together some experimental resources for you guys to use.
I pretty much just wrote down whatever came to mind while trying to keep things as general and flexible as possible, while also providing ideas for lore and stuff.
anyways, let me know if this is the kind of stuff you want to see! and, let me know what you'd like to see more of!
I saw suggestions for spells and character bio generator parts, so I will be looking into making some of that stuff as well.
apologies for the length of this thread guys. one of the "lorebooks" was especially long. it could probably be split into two but meeeh i didnt do it.
ok I'm done rambling, here you go~ Hope you like!

Lorebook #00758 : Gods and Mortals
When mortals first stepped forth from the Core of Cosmos, the gods were fascinated by these lesser beings and created a home for them;
This home was dubbed "The Mortal Realm." The gods gave mortals the gift of magic and taught them how to make the best of their short, fleeting lives.
The gods soon realized that mortals became too reliant on the powers of the divine, and returned to the Crown of Cosmos to watch over them from above.
However, one goddess concealed herself as a mortal and stayed behind, for she wished for nothing more than to see the mortals prosper.
She bestowed upon them various Boons: Knowledge, Dreams and Creativity, yet still she found them to be lacking.
For centuries she watched over them, wondering how she could help the mortals grow into something more.
Then, at last she realized the most important thing was missing: Love.
She began teaching the mortals the importance of Love, yet most did not understand and could not receive the Boon.
The goddess, saddened by the mortals' disinterest, vanished from their sight.
There was, however, one mortal man who was mystified by this new Boon.
Thus, he went on a journey to locate the goddess and earn this blessing for all mortals.
In time, he found the goddess, but she was withered and weak.
"What's wrong?" the man asked her, and she explained that mortals had stopped praying to her.
Without prayers, she would slowly lose her powers.
"Why did you leave us, goddess?"
She explained how she had been crushed by sadness due to the coldness of mortal hearts.
The man knelt before her and offered a quiet prayer, then pleaded to learn more of the mysterious Love.
Somewhat restored, the goddess smiled quietly and asked that he open his heart.
When he did so, he was filled with a miraculous warmth.
She insist that the man return to his people and share the gift of Love with another of his kind, but he refused to leave her side.
For several years, the two of them stayed together--the goddess growing more powerful than ever.
Eventually, a new being was born from the power of their combined love.
It was a momentous occasion, for both divines and mortals believed that life could only spring from the Core of Cosmos.
With their new half-god, half-mortal son, they returned to the mortals at last to bestow upon them the Boon of Love.
With this divine gift, the mortals were able to create new life, and the Core of Cosmos became dormant.
Lorebook #00759 : Zondeiur
Zondeiur was born of the combined love of a goddess and mortal--a demigod.
The circumstances of his birth were dubbed strange and forbidden.
His mother, a goddess, was ordered to return to the Realm of Divines;
His father, as punishment for his perceived arrogance, was stripped of his magic power and exiled from the Land of Light.
Zondeiur was raised by a kind old sage, who sheltered him from the ridicule of the other mortals.
When he became older, the sage told him stories of his mother and father; this inspired Zondeiur to leave the Land of Light.
He was on no particular quest and simply wished to meet many people.
Eventually, he created the Divine Catalog in order to store extensive information on everyone he met.
He learned of their wishes, their sorrows, their pleas and their joys and added them all to the Catalog.
He wished to bring this information to the Crown of Cosmos, in hopes that the gods would return to live alongside mortals once more.
During his journey, he learned of a place that existed outside the Land of Light--a place that had never received the Boons of the gods.
Zondeiur set out to visit this exciting new place and discovered an entirely new world. . .

*Might need to be balanced. I just slapped random stats on there lol.
Also, by available party member, I mean how many people you have available to be put on your team (including your party members)--though I guess that's obvious.
Apologies for the formatting, I wrote them on a different site and it looked better. xD no time to fix them. (also laziness)
in general, is this the kind of stuff you guys want to see? what else should I make? lorebooks length good, or would you prefer them to be longer/shorter?
as always, your feedback is appreciated!

A small, unremarkable harbor town that sits just beyond the portal which leads to the Land of Light.

But, none have made it to the other side and returned to tell the tale.
