General questions before we start:

• Do you plan on making a Qadir in the future? If not, why?

YES. Work has/is consuming my time, but my hours should come back to a reasonable time soon, and I plan on making a few characters and one such one was a Qadir; I believe I mentioned something about being your granny at one point haha.

• Have you played a Qadir in the past? If so, why did you stop playing them?

Yes, for a hot minute. The race had just been released and myself and some friends started a family, but they were more survival/faction focused and got bored, so I went back to playing whoever it was I was playing at the time.

• What aspect of their culture do you like the most and the least?

The engineering is the most interesting aspect, as it opens up the lore to a whole new direction in regards to an Industrial Revolution. I would love to see a Victorian-eqsue Era hit Regalia through progressions. The least... not interesting per se, but explored aspect of the Qadir would have to be their religion. I rarely find characters who are zealous of their religion in Regalia versus other religions (Unionism, Estel, Void, Oldt Fayth, etc).

• How has your experience with Clockwork Engineering been so far, either as the creator or as the buyer?

Rare. I think once, long ago, I had a character buy one of those mouse things before someone stepped on it.

Qadir Community Questions:

• Would you be interested in joining a group surrounding Clockwork Engineering? Explain why (not)!

I think a guild of sorts would be a great idea!

• What are the kinds of activities you want to see this group doing? Focus more on the Clockwork aspect, or rather on festivals, magic even?

Guild activities! Workshops, selling/buying, research (both magic and clockwork), and other guild activities.

• Are you as a (future?) Qadir player interested in seeing a centralised place for Worship? A continuous attempt to realise the Esrah Alwattah in Regalia?

Yes! As one of the things I mentioned earlier as one of the least explored aspects of the Qadir culture, I think a centralized area for people o worship and preach would help bolster interest.

Clockwork Specific Questions:

• Would you like to see a centralised clockwork workshop (for any race to join)? A big building for all?

A guild building, as mentioned earlier, would serve this function as well.

• Would you be interested in having clockworks that are made by your characters explored in regalia and in progressions? For example, submitting a player quest to create new functional machinery, or doing it IG with a 'DM' overseeing it?

Yeet.

• How do you see this workshop ran? Is there the elder that leads it (like in lore) Or is the most knowledgeable engineer the boss? A council, perhaps?

G U I L D. Perhaps a guild master and then a council that advises them, with members beneath them? A hierarchy would be established of course.

• Would you like to see Engineers working closely together with Soul Mages? After all, most machinery is powered by Qatils with Soul Essence.

100%. Maybe have a special role for Soul Mages within this guild idea I keep blabbering about.
