That'll do for monsters, for now - let me know if that works. No sandworms yet, but that can always be found later.

Forgive me for not putting together sheets for the other Necrodomii I plan to throw into the mix, but I'm, you know, lazy.

And I very much dislike sheets, so it's like it was meant to be.

I'll make a sheet for an actual character later. I figured I'd get my larger faction and some other background stuff accepted first.

"Olm" is a Vitruvian invocation of respect to a particular spirit or deity, perhaps best loosely translated as "I see what is laid before me." It is a simultaneously an acknowledgement of a god's hand in a matter, recognition of the trial or lesson they present, a statement of understanding that they could probably crush you like a bug if they so wished and, dependent on the situation, a certain fatalistic tinge of "oh, this shit again." The Viitru have had to make this invocation so often in the course of their migration that it has gradually condensed to a three-letter word.

The notable exception to the phrase is any invocation to Da'at, in which case "Olmo" is preferred, or "I do not see what is laid before me." Scholars of the culture agree that veneration of Da'at is just plain weird and probably more trouble than it was worth.

Accepted. Where are they now, in the Red Desert?

@Flagg

After reading through all of the In Character posts, I'm not sure how well my necromancer fits in with this story. I'm thinking instead of a Nyr'kiin who is a cult-leader like "prophet" of a red god - the Overmother. He wants to bring together a hive reminiscent of the greater ones of the past.





I like it, accepted. Don't love the pic of Mantid himself.

Where would you like the Orchid Home to be on the map?

I'll keep looking to see if I can find anything that hits home for Mantid better and replace it.

I was thinking that the Orchid Home would lie at the foot of Mount Dagoth. Let me know if there is any issue with this; if not I'll put it into the lore sheet and post in characters, thanks

No issues! Will add to the map later this week. As I mentioned in the OP, the Union and the Aboriginals sortve exist in parallel throughout the same territory, and many of the nyr'kiin sell their excess population to the Union as slaves, and there are 'bug districts' in most major cities of the Ashlands. So that's sortve the milieu you're operating in, cant wait to see what you come up with.

Hey, there's a guy named Valor.
That's cool.
Also, this has my interest so I'll try to get a CS in soon.
Figured I'd say something, since I've been lurking the thread for the past couple days

Given the Firebrands reside in the Claws and Zar Endal's proximity to the mountains I imagine we've clashed in the past or at the least have crossed paths before? On that note if you're looking for ideas, I don't know if the Phantom General would seek to take advantage of this but Zar Endal is currently vulnerable with Lord Alkhazar leading a sizable portion of it's military force to support Zar Vorgul. Alternatively if you're seeking to get involved in the main action at Vorgul maybe the Firebrands accompanied Alkhazar to the city? Just some ideas. :)

I'm thinking I'll set myself up somewhere around the Claws. That'll give me a good variety of options for where to head to next.

I actually like the idea of the Firebrands sacking Zar Endal while the Master is away. It's good conflict, there's a lot of room for threads to just be thrown together, it sets the general up as a wildcard and it puts them on a plausible intercept course for direct interaction with the incoming chaos of the invasion.

I can't guess whether Alkhazar's reaction would be raging, homicidal fury and the spontaneous combustion of several messengers, or "Zar Endal? Please, I don't need that any more. I have other plans..."

@Aristo I love the idea of you either being with Alkhazad as a mercenary force with your own agenda, or seizing Zar Endal for your own.

Grrrrrrrrrrr! I was looking at Zar Endal. The other clans of the Arakkai are going to come together next post and then will march down from the mountains. If there's nothing to take, then I'll have to figure out a completely new way to get them into the desert. And throw away the next 3-5 posts I've planned out.

And now I've had to spoil the surprise I've been building up to. :(

EDIT: @Lone Wanderer@Aristo

Can we work something out? I've been dumb for keeping my plans secret so long, and my intention to wait until after my next post to bring it up has cost me the idea. I really don't want to start over because I've but so much time and thought into this, but since I was an idiot and have kept my mouth shut these last few days, it'll be my fault if I have to. I guess it just seemed like it would make more since if I waited to ask until after the Arakkai began to leave.
