Is my story lore-friendly?

[Anonymoose]

I've gotten much more comments here but the few I did on the other were slightly more on the tough love side of things than reassuring.

Ha. Different cultures, I suppose. Lore forum tends to be focused mostly on "Is it truth?" "What is the evidence for that truth?" "Is that evidence in question?" "What can we theorize based on the knowns?" Roleplayers have more opinions. [spooky fingers]

Teadrinker makes a point; roleplayers can be intolerant and stodgy about their idea of the lore. Though imho, that's asinine; most of the misconceptions and entrenched falsehoods about the lore can be sourced back to bad roleplayer assumptions and headcanon creeping its way like an ivy into Tumblr, FFWiki, Reddit, etc. - though a fair amount come from YouTube gurus, too. (Don't look at me like that, Balmung, hard truths cut both ways.) Thems just the breaks when it's necessary to both know and bend the lore for your purposes. Some people forget what was only made up to justify their hooks, if they understood it in the proper context in the first place.

I'd stick to Merenary's point of view. Do what you want to do and RP with the people who gravitate towards it. Don't worry about the rest.

I don't think you even explicitly said this Miqo'te would try to continue on as Ishgardian nobility, or even technically an Ishgardian citizen, did you? She would simply have incidentally grown up in Ishgard and taking a shine to an Ishgardian's worldview before going out on her own adventures? And you want all of this in place before you sew in the "RP Hooks," yes?
