Talk:Scions of Lok

Reclasify as an organisation?
The Scions are an organisation containing multiple races rather than a single race containing a bunch of variants. All the races that are a part of it keep showing up after the Scions are dealt with, mostly aligned with Thulsa and Killian.

Currently a lot of pages link back to this one as a race which is somewhat misleading. So I'd sugest changing it to reflect the Scions actual status.

I'm actually not too sure about this either. Originally, this page named the Scions of Lok as a species, which is definitely wrong, so I changed it to race instead. But if many others who are further into the game also think the way you do, then I'll go along with it.

However, I do want to point out one thing. In the game, mobs' names usually includes a word that indicates their species. For example, we know from its name that Wandering Cromos is a Cromos. But in the case of the Scions of Lok, it is commonly written in a format like Lokian Bowmaster. If we accept "Scions of Lok" as an affiliation instead of a race or species (and that's basically what you're suggesting), then we're still going to have to input something in the "race" category for the mob pages here on this wiki. That's the thing that I'm concerned with .....

Mobs like that are something of a problem with regards to naming. Later on they reappear as various Thulsan soldiers not affiliated with Lok but as far as I can recall I've never encountered any with a species name, unlike the majority of other enemies. As far as origins go they may in fact be transformed as some quests do allude to this but that's not necessarily the case with all of them which makes them hard to clasify.

Just got a email from enmasses writing team in regards to scions and other lok related things:

"The Scions of Lok are an organization. However, organization isn’t their strong suit—zealotry is.

Unknown magic twisted the Lokians from their original forms. They're named Lokian because they're first encountered in the service of the Scions of Lok. However, astute players will notice these twisted sentient beings in the service of other groups as well."

This is their official response as how they view what we been talking about. So Lokians are the race but due to magic they are no longer what they use to be, "scions of lok" is the organization with Lokians and Lokians do serve other groups within TERA.

Ah, that clears things up considerably. For affiliation, we can put "Scions of Lok" for all of them, but for race, we then put "Lokian." So this page, titled "Scions of Lok (race)," should be renamed to either "Lokians (race)" or "Scions of Lok." I prefer renaming it to "Lokians (race)" because it's currently more of a race page than an affiliation page; we can just make another affiliation page. Either way, these two pages will need a major revamping >.<
