FACES COME OUT OF THE RAIN, WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE..

"Women seem wicked When you're unwanted Streets are uneven When you're down When you're strange..." - The Doors, People Are Strange (1967)

As rose tinted sunset fell over the dullness of London and the street lights flickered into life, an unease settled in the air as the beacon of dread emerged from the clouds giving it's monthly warning. A full moon bright in it's beam illuminated Wizarding London and as the festivities continued, an unease began to fill the air. Whispers of werewolves howls hung in the air, with peeling wanted posters of [SILAS CRUMP] and [MASON TREMBLAY] acting as an all too sinister reminder of what it really meant.

The full moon had taken a new meaning in recent years; death.

As music played in the crowded Carkitt Market court and The Weird Sisters soured, despite the swirl of floral dresses and gleaming faces worry edged even the bravest of souls as auror officials began to guard the area. With the Ministry making it's presence known and the dance reigning the night, with eyes like amber stones lurking in the shadows; is it true what they say that we should be frightful of the night?

The event will now be extended as the events of the evening unfold. Please continue with all threads as normal, though new context we have provided can be worked into them.

This weekend we will host our first live event. A poll will be posted in our discord channel offering people the opportunity to vote their preferred date/time for the event to take place.

After the live event takes place the event will be over. Please drop all threads thereafter and start further threads after the events of the plot drop and live event.

Regards,

The Admins

Do you happen to know the origin of the fantasy trope in which a deity's power directly corresponds to the number of their believers / the strength of their believers' faith?

I only know it from places like Discworld and DnD that I'm fairly confident are referencing some earlier source, but outside of Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, I can't think of of any specific work it might've come from, 20th-c fantasy really not being my wheelhouse.

Thank you!

That's an interesting question. In terms of immediate sources, I suspect, but cannot prove, that the trope's early appearances in both Dungeons & Dragons and Discworld are most immediately influenced by the oeuvre of Harlan Ellison – his best-known work on the topic, the short story collection Deathbird Stories, was published in 1975, which places it very slightly into the post-D&D era, though most of the stories it contains were published individually earlier – but Ellison certainly isn't the trope's originator. L Sprague de Camp and Fritz Leiber also play with the idea in various forms, as does Roger Zelazny, though only Zelazny's earliest work is properly pre-D&D.

Hm. Off the top of my head, the earliest piece of fantasy fiction I can think of that makes substantial use of the trope in its recognisably modern form is A E van Vogt's The Book of Ptath; it was first serialised in 1943, though no collected edition was published until 1947. I'm confident that someone who's more versed in early 20th Century speculative fiction than I am could push it back even earlier, though. Maybe one of this blog's better-read followers will chime in!

(Non-experts are welcome to offer examples as well, of course, but please double-check the publication date and make sure the work you have in mind was actually published prior to 1974.)

WANDS AT THE READY....

The year is 1986, London has faced no greater threat than it does today. People have begun to go missing. Posters line the cobbled walls, as weeping families plead for information over the radio and in the papers. Bodies slowly began to be found, first one, then two, until it became too difficult to count them all. Among the unfortunate individuals that remain unnamed, the death of the Minister’s son BOOKER BAGNOLD was the catalyst for the mass hysteria. It creeped into Wizarding London like a silent fog until the country was overcast in a thick smog of conspiracy and fear that tightly grips its people.

What once was a force that began as a whisper, The Dark Lord is now acknowledged by the Minister herself. His DEATH EATERS followers are his physical presence, anonymous individuals hidden behind silver masks that threaten the very fabric of society. The institution claiming to protect the wizarding community, the Ministry of Magic, is losing respect, reputation and control. With the government in disarray, its people are vulnerable and open for the taking. THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX has taken it upon themselves to stand ready to combat the darkness, searching for sorcerers to stand up and burn with them.

THE QUESTION IS...When they call your name, how do you wish to be remembered?

“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE ATHLETE get what she deserves?” She is NEUTRAL & OPEN to finding out. 

— she walks through the world as ;

name → emma vanity pronouns → she/her identification → cis female year of birth → september 1953 - september 1954 face claim → bianca santos blood status → half-blood sexual orientation → up to applicant occupation → chaser for the montrose magpies in the british and irish quidditch league future information → n/a

— she is best described as ;

DETERMINED as a bludger soaring to see its ends met, she is the GLORY of a victory yet the CAUTIOUS APPREHENSION in its dawn. She is wrapped in GREEN and SILVER, secured in a small TRUSTED circle, but is better seen as a RAVEN hidden amongst poisonous vipers. While STRATEGIC nature safeguards from UNRAVELED SECRETS; their ASPIRATION to wait for the right card to play may lead to their downfall.

— her story starts with ;

Born to a beautiful muggle by the name of Audry Knotts and a fine young wizard named Thorn Vanity, Emma grew up with a foot in both the wizarding world and the muggle world. Most mornings of her childhood were spent exploring the nearby muggle centers with her mother while her evenings were filled with extravagant stories of her father’s time at Hogwarts. Both of her parents never wanted to limit her knowledge or put down expectations that she had to follow them in their footsteps. They enrolled her in muggle primary school, encouraged her to join the community sports teams, had lessons on the basics of magic, and even made weekly trips to Diagon Alley. It was during one of these trips that nine year old Emma found herself the proud owner of her very first broom, a gift from her parents for managing such excellent grades in school. While she had found herself enjoying time playing on her muggle football team with her friends, Quidditch always held the biggest piece of her heart. Before her Hogwarts letter arrived, she’d come home from football practice and head straight to the backyard with her Nimbus 1700 in hand, ready to practice all her new plays and tricks.

When the time came for her to follow in Thorn’s footsteps and attend Hogwarts, she was disheartened to hear that she couldn’t immediately join the Quidditch team for her house but her parents reassured her that when the time was right, she would be an excellent addition to her house team. The witch was a bit nervous for the sorting ceremony after all the stories her father had told her. It took a few moments of the hat sitting on her head, whispering about ambition and resourcefulness, before exclaiming she’d be joining the Slytherin house for the next seven years. Despite the rumors and stories she heard, Emma walked to the table of green and silver with her head held high, determined to make the best of the situation. She just never realized just how hard it was going to be. It was within her first couple of weeks as a Slytherin that Emma experienced the prejudiced attitudes of her fellow housemates. BELLATRIX BLACK adversary] and her merry band of followers targeting individual students, calling them names and harassing them in between classes.

It didn’t take long for her to realize being a half-blood in the house of the snakes was putting a target on her back, so she kept quiet. All she could do was keep her head down and focus on her classes until she watched the Slytherin team destroy Huffepuff’s in the first Quidditch match of the season. Having only ever heard of matches through the wizarding radio back home, witnessing one in person was a whole other world for her and it was one she desperately wanted to be a part of. The determined eleven year old witch approached STEVEN LAUGHALOT [mentor] about a week after the match, firing off questions to him about how she could increase her chances of making the team. Steven agreed to helping her train in private lessons and thus began their Sunday meetings. She practiced day and night during her summer break, working hard enough to gain the position of Chaser come fall term as a second year. She was quickly assimilated into the Slytherin Quidditch team, becoming fast friends with beaters ERIKA RATH [close friend] and LUCIAN BOLE [close friend]. The two of them being the first people Emma felt comfortable enough to tell of her blood status and the disclosure of her secret only allowed them to grow closer.

Of course she still actively avoided some of her housemates, Emma shifted her main focus onto being a great addition to the team. And she was an excellent player, pulling out all the stops to help Slytherin come out on top so by the time her fifth year came around, her school letter was accompanied by a shiny new captain badge. She was captain for her last two years at Hogwarts, earning a reputation that had her scouted by the British and Irish Quidditch League as soon as she graduated. Joining up with the Montrose Magpies as a chaser, Emma realized just how integrated her life had now become. She was working with muggle-borns, pure-bloods, and half-bloods alike, and there was no problem amongst any of them. Feeling comfortable enough to reveal to her teammates that she was a half-blood, it felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. And it was that revelation that led her to form a close connection with Magpies’ keeper JASON SAMUELS [friend/potential love interest], a fellow half-blood. The two had been able to swap stories of their childhoods with a foot in each world and one could now find them taking the occasional trip into the Muggle world together to relive those memories with the other.

But even as she grew comfy in her friendship with Jason and the rest of her team, the world started to get darker as mysterious forces moved in. Citizens were going missing with no explanation from the Ministry, there was a culprit at large that the Aurors were no closer to catching, things were turning into complete chaos. Then the disaster that was the 1983 Solstice ball happened, the world Emma had grown up dreaming of fell into a pit of darkness. It felt like there was no middle ground for anyone anymore, there were two obvious sides. Those that were for the objective of these dark forces and those that were against. Soon enough she started hearing whispers of her former classmates joining the crusade of a darker world, students like LUCIUS MALFOY [adversary] and DOMINIC TRAVERS [adversary], who had both been on the Slytherin team with her at one point. Lucius had even been Seeker when she had been captain, they spent years in each other's presence and he had been all about blood purity when they were children so it was now obvious that growing up hadn’t changed him. Knowing the reputation her house had back in school, she was worried which of her previous schoolmates would be joining up next.

With how public her job is, Emma is aware that every little thing about her is written about. Information about her Hogwarts life, about where she spends her free time, about if she was or was not shacking up with KALEB JOHNSON [friend]. That story in particular had been a stretch even for RITA SKEETER [adversary] but it had brought a few good laughs. It was all out there…even the truth about her blood status. If this force was prone to using violence to extinguish the existence of half-bloods and muggleborns, they wouldn’t care who got in their way. It didn’t matter how famous or influential she was. While it had been easy in her childhood to keep her head down and go about her own way to avoid bullying, she knew that couldn’t be the case as the playing fields were very different now. Emma viewed it like a quidditch match she was about to partake in. She has to know her enemy, know the usual plays and tricks they like to use, know that she had to have backup plans if anyone was coming to steer her astray, it was her survival at risk here. One wrong play and that would be the end, but it was always common knowledge that Slytherins are known for their self-preservation.

— she is a LEVEL 6 WITCH & readied for war ;

On the one hand, it's true that the way Dungeons & Dragons defines terms like "sorcerer" and "warlock" and "wizard" is really only relevant to Dungeons & Dragons and its associated media – indeed, how these terms are used isn't even consistent between editions of D&D! – and trying to apply them in other contexts is rarely productive.

On the other hand, it's not true that these sorts of fine-grained taxonomies of types of magic are strictly a D&D-ism and never occur elsewhere. That folks make this argument is typically a symptom of being unfamiliar with Dungeons & Dragons' source material. D&D's main inspirations are American literary sword and sorcery fantasy spanning roughly the 1930s through the early 1980s, and fine-grained taxonomies of magic users absolutely do appear in these sources; they just aren't anything like as consistent as the folks who try to cram everything into the sorcerer/warlock/wizard model would prefer.

For example, in Lyndon Hardy's "Five Magics" series, the five types of magical practitioners are:

Alchemists: Drawing forth the hidden virtues of common materials to craft magic potions; limited by the fact that the outcomes of their formulas are partially random.

Magicians: Crafting enchanted items through complex manufacturing procedures; limited by the fact that each step in the procedure must be performed perfectly with no margin for error.

Sorcerers: Speaking verbal formulas to basically hack other people's minds, permitting illusion-craft and mind control; limited by the fact that the exercise of their art eventually kills them.

Thaumaturges: Shaping matter by manipulating miniature models; limited by the need to draw on outside sources like fires or flywheels to make up the resulting kinetic energy deficit.

Wizards: Summoning and binding demons from other dimensions; limited by the fact that the binding ritual exposes them to mental domination by the summoned demon if their will is weak.

"Warlock", meanwhile, isn't a type of practitioner, but does appear as pejorative term for a wizard who's lost a contest of wills with one of their own summoned demons.

Conversely, Lawrence Watt-Evans' "Legends of Ethshar" series includes such types of magic-users as:

Sorcerers: Channelling power through metal talismans to produce fixed effects; in the time of the novels, talisman-craft is largely a lost art, and most sorcerers use found or inherited talismans.

Theurges: Summoning gods; the setting's gods have no interest in human worship, but are bound not to interfere in the mortal world unless summoned, and are thus amenable to cutting deals.

Warlocks: Wielding X-Men style psychokinesis by virtue of their attunement to the telepathic whispers emanating from the wreckage of a crashed alien starship. (They're the edgy ones!)

Witches: Producing improvisational effects mostly related to healing, telepathy, precognition, and minor telekinesis by drawing on their own internal energy.

Wizards: Drawing down the infinite power of Chaos and shaping it with complex rituals. Basically D&D wizards, albeit with a much greater propensity for exploding.

You'll note that both taxonomies include something called a "sorcerer", something called a "warlock", and something called a "wizard", but what those terms mean in their respective contexts agrees neither with the Dungeons & Dragons definitions, nor with each other.

(Admittedly, these examples are from the 1980s, and are thus not free of D&D's influence; I picked them because they both happened to use all three of the terms in question in ways that are at odds with how D&D uses them. You can find similar taxonomies of magic use in earlier works, but I would have had to use many more examples to offer multiple competing definitions of each of "sorcerer", "warlock" and "wizard", and this post is already long enough!)

So basically what I'm saying is giving people a hard time about using these terms "wrong" – particularly if your objection is that they're not using them in a way that's congruent with however D&D's flavour of the week uses them – makes you a dick, but simply having this sort of taxonomy has a rich history within the genre. Wizard phylogeny is a time-honoured tradition!
