From time to time differences in our server's lore and events will come to light during roleplay.
Like about Goo. So please let's talk about this for better mutual understanding. Please mind that this is purely an OOC-talk though; so our characters don't have to know or even cannot know all of this IC ;)
French players have revealed basic former Aniro-RP-theories that were viewed differently on Leanon:
1. nobody on Atys can destroy/heal Goo, and
2. (homin's) magic doesn't work against Goo
1. nobody on Atys can destroy/heal Goo
* the Lore about the settlement of the Zorai in the new lands states: "2484: Region of Cities of Intuition explored, cleaned of goo and made relatively safe. Kamis intervene whenever Karavan tries to punish Zoraïs for fighting goo instead of gathering raw materials for them." http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben/wiki/L_ZoraiNewBegin
* in the Lore-story about how the Zorai started their fight against the Goo "Tears of Serenity": http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben/wiki/Tears_of_Serenity chieftain Cho promised the Kami to cleanse the land of the Goo that he calls "devouring sickness". The Goo-infected tree the Kami wanted to be healed was directly at or near the spot where the Zorai built a temple later on and then even the very large city Zoran, capital of the Zorai-Nation in the old lands.
a) who would build a temple and even a whole city at a Goo-infected spot with Goo-infected trees? Isn't it very clear that Goo on the tree the Kami pointed to must have been healed or destroyed before that?
b) just cutting/digging Goo out and throwing it "elsewhere" is definitely not "cleansing the land" nor is it "fighting" against the Goo. Could chieftain Cho have been a liar who baselessly promised the Kami to cleanse the land if he wasn't even able to do so? If Cho had turned out to be a liar and the Zorai as being helpless against the Goo - then would the Kamis have supported the Zorai continually from that day on and given them the mask of kinship even?
c) natural fire is at least one known method to destroy Goo as the Lore states: "2520: Fire brought by the Fyros rages out of control but destroys last goo hotspots." http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben/wiki/L_ZoraiNewBegin At the same time the Lore also states: "What do we value? - You must guard against over-exploitation and fire, and at all costs fight against the goo which the Kamis are powerless to repel." and "What are our prohibitions? - It is forbidden to spread fire over the lands. It strips the land of its wealth and leaves it sterile." Doesn't this very clearly hint at other methods to fight Goo as well than fire which is considered as dangerous?
2. (homin's) magic doesn't work against Goo
* some homins think that if magic would work against the Goo then the Kamis would be able to destroy Goo themselves. But why should magic woven by Kamis and magic woven by homins be the exact same "kind" or phenomenon? Kamis and homins are very different creatures.
The Sage Yi Be-Pian from the company of the Eternal Tree states in the Lore: "I've seen with my own eyes a Kami being sucked up by the Goo before I could intervene. No, I tell you, it's up to us to protect them. Did you know that homins have a better resistance to the Goo than most other living creatures?" http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben/wiki/C_Yi_Be-Pian No homin has ever been disolved by the Goo...
3. research and Goo
additionally to that there has been a (political) ban for Zorai to research Goo on Aniro, while contrary to that on Leanon and Arispotle the Circles of the Zorai were bestowed with the duty to do research to find out how to heal Goo: "11.2. The First Circle will study and seek a cure to the Goo, the disease afflicting Atys." http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben/wiki/L_ZoraiGovOrg .
The German version "11.2. Der zweite Kreis soll nach einem Heilmittel gegen das Goo forschen, die Krankheit, die Atys befallen hat." translates as "The second Circle shall research ("forschen") a cure against the Goo, the disease that has befallen Atys": http://app.ryzom.com/app_lore/index.php?page=/projects/pubde/wiki /L_Die_Kreise_der_Zorai.
Also the Company of the Eternal Tree, closest guardians of the Kami, research into "their ultimate enemy", the Goo, as the Lore states: http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben/wiki/C_Yi_Be-Pian
