@Raxacoricofallapatorius

I allow and encourage people to make stuff up for the gods/culture. (I like world building)

Though there are things I should mention.

  • Vivari (the Great Mother) is mentioned in nearly all cultures, though this doesn't mean she is worshipped. So she would be mentioned in Drakken religious writing. But she is painted as a betrayer and unloving mother. (So Drakkens don't like her and they will never worship her)
  • Drakken's have three main gods that are worshipped above the others, Norric is the next popular god. But you are free to make up house gods/Goddesses if you wish.
  • it would be interesting to see the names of the three Gem god/Goddesses changed, but I see a problem with it.
    • As Vivari is known as a betrayer and unloving mother to her son's (who later birthed/made the Drakken), there needs to be a reason for her being known as such.
    • in Drakken writing it's said that she gave birth to two females and one male children and listed their elements (and she loved/favoured them more). Mind you it doesn't mention their names.
    • so as soon as the Drakkens found out that the Gems worship Vivari and her other three children, they wouldn't think of worshipping them.


I hoped that helped a bit. But as I said you are free to make up other minor gods and things in the culture of either Gem or Drakken. :)


Okay, awesome! I love world/culture building :3333

Anyway, since Vivari is universally known I guess it wouldn't make much sense to change anything about how the Drakken perceive her. They know of her in their religion but don't worship her, and probably paint her in a villainous or demonic light (her name could even be a curse word or else used in curses). It's quite clear that Krenta, Sorrak, and Drun are Vivari's children though I'm sure Drakken lore makes them out to be victims of their cruel and hateful mother who treated them unfairly while she favored and spoiled Auram, Naia, and Pyrus.

Obviously the Drakken reject all the Gem gods as legitimate but since the Drakken are element-weilders just as the Gems surely they have gods to represent the elements.

Here's a few suggestions:







I have more in mind but I need to do laundry and also get to work on a post. This is just a rough outline.

Forgive me guys, but isn't Rynek hiding his identity? Everyone seems to notice him right off the bat, just seems a bit weird to me.

I'm going to go off on a limb and say that rumors amongst the people and social circles more or less allow people to have a rough idea on whose going especially if said person is high ranking as all of our characters are. I'm guessing that people know that Rynek will be going to the Reaping, they just don't know if he'll actually show up/he is hiding or something.

I'm sure those in the upper-circles are more familiar with who is who, regardless of whether or not he's wearing his hood Rynek still has a presence. Not to mention anyone who's familiar with him might at least recognize those big dim guards of his and put two and two together.

Either way, I don't think Rynek's identity will be hidden much longer since that stunt he pulled with Lienna. People are going to notice.

I think those that are older would know the prince. Since, yeah, they had a longer time to learn who's who in the royal family.

I mean obviously it would be up to @NarcissisticPotato to make the call, but it seems like he hasn't had a problem with it so far. Or at least hasn't said anything.

@my Lalia God dang it, it looks like Zak is going to end up killing every more people because of Krone...

On second thoughts... Karstagg is, according to the family tree I made, a small and slowly dying line...

*Gets a sudden evil light bulb*

Maybe they just need a bit of help taking the final steps...

You wouldn't be opposed to a certain letter being intercepted would you? Perhaps because the female cousin who's marrying Lysander would notice it before the Karstaggs did and become very infuriated that her marriage was being jeopardised?

Oh please let me, the wannabe Tywin Lannister inside me is screaming "red wedding"...

Obscene and I were discussing it at an earlier date and my opinion is just basically the same but I don't mind so much now. As Lalia said, these are a bunch of old fellas that would know this stuff so it's to be expected. I'll probably add some comedy to it and at least one threat thrown at Edoric for ruining his game!

Also, thanks for sticking up for me, Obscene!

Also also, I have a post to write for another RP then I'll do one for this!

Oh I now have evil light bulb......

Krone is an old smart cookie and knows to watch important business to see if it gets through. Once he notices that his message wasn't received, he sends two more. One like the original and another to this cousin offering both marriage and a partnership with the family.

Who wouldn't want a deal with a more powerful Lord? If not he has something dire planned for messing up with his plan...... muhahahaha :p

Oi oi, Edoric would never saddle a roasted pig in an attempt to sodomize it. That's why he has a professional goat sodimizer do it for him.

@my Lalia Well, that was the whole point of Zak deciding it best to exterminate the line. If Krone sends one letter and notices no response, he'll just send another or worse he'll tell them in person. Doing nothing would be a bad move.

Of course, if a certain cousin fell pregnant then the Karstaggs happened to die... the entire estate falls to the child, with his mother acting as regent for it and being the only influence on the child, meaning it would be raised an Unalim rather than a Karstagg and giving the Unalim family a unique influence over the future of the Karstagg estates, effectively transforming the Karstagg estates into a puppet branch of the Unalim family. Marrying a member off to the Heir of the Karstagg family was obviously a power play, although not ideal to have to kill them all for it would draw attention, it is far safer than allowing the play to fail and face a conflict with them and possibly the other family wronged by the incident. While neither are powerful enough to destroy one of the greater lords, it would be a nasty inconvenience. Of course, circumstances have also arisen which are drawing peoples attention elsewhere. A chance to perform more daring moves while everyone's attention is held elsewhere hue hue.
