Message: <blockquote data-quote="anonystu" data-source="post: 1036354" data-attributes="member: 10897">warning: campaign ideas ahead, ignore if it's not your thing, (mods: I don't intend the sidetrack the discussion, just answering a question, but if you want me to edit this out, just give the word)You play a verrik because it interested my player, and so we developed a little bit of history: the verrik didn't resist particularly strongly when the giants started "caretaking" the land, but asked that the sites which were holy to their worship of the earth be left pristine.The Order of Magisters (a mostly human organization aiding the giants) were having none of this: they built their schools directly on top of these sites, finding they made very good places to conduct research on. The verrik started to resist, and for their troubles, now all verrik must, at early adolescence, register their truename with the school at the closest city to where they are, and then get a small mark branded onto their necks to indicate that they have registered. It is notable that all verrik have to do this (because of both a grudge with their magisters, and their distrust of the innate power verrik witchery wields), while only those with notable magical power have to register for other races.That said, while the Order of Magisters would rather wipe them off the earth (after a few experiments, of course), the Giants keep a number of them as valued servants (and trusted because their truenames are  held), serving in this particular case, as telepaths within the judicial system.</blockquote>
