Hm I'm just thinking a little here. I hear from many that people have to add more description on their concepts and of course that is needed but is it really necesessary to have a big lore yada yada? Not only does it say on the rules "short description" but I can't really figure it out why a deep lore is really needed. It's not like we are creating a whole race or a civilazation or whatever (or are we?Oo), aren't we making mobs/monsters? Dunno about you guys but I don't really care when I'm fighting a scorpion or whatnot what it's complete origin and lore is

Of course there are exceptions but I wouldn't mind SV do most of the lore themselves as they see fit. Who knows the lore of MO better than them?

I'm not saying it's wrong to come up with a whole lore and whatnot, just don't really understand why it's SO important? In my concept for example,these swamp serpents, I can't really come up with a detailed lore that makes sence. They are mystical ancient beings/monsters that are not so common. Of course I could make something up like they are offsprings by wyverns and snakes (not normal ones) and thus being half breeds and their natural environment is in the swamps so they are quite isolated from the outside world. Not many crosses the swamps and even if they do they are mystical = rare and will most likely kill you. Without many survivors little is known about them other than the rumors being created by those who were lucky enough to survive.

Meh maybe I'm just talking rubbish? it's 6am and I haven't slept and got bored enough to write nonesence
