PLOT SUGGESTIONS
◉ NAVIGATION ▼
If you have a plot, or even just an idea for a plot to suggest to the mods, please feel free to drop it here. You don't have to plan on hosting that plot yourself; if it's something you'd be interested in seeing in Ryslig, it could give us a good idea for a mod-run event in the future. We welcome all your creative thoughts, to help us continue to give the game playful angles!
If you'd like to run a player plot of your own, please don't worry too much about any lore leading up to it. You can just detail the effects of the event to us. From there on, we can work backwards to ensure there's a suitable inciting incident.
You may use a sock account if you wish to remain anonymous. The reason that we ask you to provide a sock is so we can contact you about your plot in private if necessary. This is to maintain a sense of suspense while keeping things unscreened.

To clarify: tier three requires either direct involvement against Elias and his followers, or direct involvement towards the Fog's aims.
Sacrifice alone, regardless of numbers, is not sufficient to meet this criteria. As you mentioned, Madoka tiered up with a sacrifice - but it was a sacrifice of a Fourth follower, which tied it directly into the war. Also, this was a long time ago, and took place under a different mod team: there is no defined rubric for god tier-ups, which are decided on a case-by-case basis, and the understanding of what is required has shifted along with the mod teams. We would caution players against leaning too heavily on older examples for this reason, and advise referencing more recent plots where possible.
The action does not have to be against Elias, but it does have to be in service of the Fog's aims. Despite what she may say to her followers, the Fog's priorities have always been less with the comfort and wellbeing of monsters, and more with their use as a weapon against the humans of Ryslig.
This kind of action in the Fog's favour might mean providing her with power, or increasing the overall fear of monsters among the human population. (Since in your plot, the main danger is the human cultists, this does not apply - it would rather increase the fear of other humans!) At Tier 3, we will not accept conversion from neutrality alone as an argument for the Fog's benefit.
We would also like to remind you of how the Tagevalgten plot ended. The Fog has made her position clear on human cults - she doesn't much care for them. She will not accept friendship with humans, no matter how murderous, as an act in service of the Fog. Humans are the enemy, perhaps even more than Elias, in her eyes.
TL;DR - no, not all Tier 3 plots have to be direct confrontations with Elias and his followers, but they do have to be in direct service of the Fog's greater aims, which include the terrorising of humans, garnering of power for the Fog, and defeating Elias.
We hope this helps!

Would it be okay to move forward with this miniplot as not being a tier up attempt, and just like, a thing she does independently? Or is it that this move would actively UPSET the fog god re: reminding her of the Tage?
I think that Maya could be more easily convinced to make bigger moves for the fog with the presence of more fog followers on her personal side, and am VERY okay with this tier up not working if she can still Do the Monster-Community Thing
and if it IS okay to just do it not as a tier-up, am I misinterpreting by thinking I should make the I fishermen maybe not be from Vandare, or is that part alright too?

This would not actively upset the Fog, and we would be happy for it to go ahead as a plot on its own, with or without the involvement of the Vandare fishermen! It just wouldn't please her enough for a tier-up.

If you'd like to use it for flavor in a coming log i'm game to wait but if not, am I cool to go ahead and do this in the coming month in a smaller log, then?
