Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Vec Are you talking about Grot? Grot was over 30 storeys tall and breathed fire. We're probably closing in on 150-200 years later.

And we won't be in the bronze age much longer if Tauga and Diana have anything to say about it.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Double Capybara @WrongEndoftheRainbow Took some liberties meshing the three of our views of the solar system together for continuity, let me know if it fits.

The map, not to scale, reflects planet order but not orbital relationships

Planets so far

the Mineworks (Meinn-obrach) - Morning Star. A bright planet, first from the sun. It was terraformed by Jvan, and named for its volcanic forges, organic tunnels and land-reefs, and substantial mineral wealth. Acid rain, flesh-melting temperatures, extreme winds and pressures abound, making Auricolor the preferred site of actual mining. Biodiversity is high.

Salvation (Slainte) - The second planet and its two moons, together called Ilunabar, is a place of incandescent sulphur, shining with a brilliant burgundy hue. Its moons are very large, giving the appearance of a tertiary system, but most of the mass lies in Salvation itself. Its colour has fascinated astronomers for centuries, but none of the dwarven explorers have yet returned. It is said to be the lair of the goddess of sirens. Whether its danger is an enchantment or simply the combination of curiousity and a deceptive gravity well is yet to be seen.

Da-chananach (Two Tongues) - A binary planet whose orbit is stable but whose atmosphere is not yet in equilibrium. Long streams of gas span between the planets and in the circle of their orbit.

Galbar (Galbar) - Mostly harmless.

Lonely Soul (Soul Aonair) - Already nearly habitable even without magic, this is Galbar's somewhat smaller sister planet, and the fourth solitary planet. Nitrogenous atmosphere with liquid water and atmospheric CO₂ released by volcanoes. It already seems to harbour life- simple photosynthetic bacteria have existed on Galbar almost since the beginning, thanks to Jvan, and various godly explosions have seen fit to propel them into space. Some of them survived.
Aonair has long been associated with Zephyrion, for unknown reasons. It certainly is a place of dynamic elements. Perhaps some Flickers have manifested in the syzygy of the Celestial Citadel between Galbar and Aonair...

Ard-shoitheach (the High Shipyard) - The wreck of a former planet and its moons. Time will tell whether it is destined to re-form or disintegrate into a stellar ring under Athair's immense gravity. It is fast becoming the favourite dumping ground of Dundee's excess population, and any Shamed who outlive their usefulness. The reasoning is that they will either form a profitable colony and redeem themselves or die in the cold. Both are acceptable. _{*cough* Australia}

Athair (Father) - A gas giant, predominantly hydrogen by mass. Fifth solitary planet. High gravity and lack of a surface makes it extremely dangerous. Its moons, however, are rather safe.

Nighean (Daughter) - Ice Daughter. The largest moon of Athair, it has been terraformed by Jvan. Details are in the Jvan awakening post. Very cold, very radioactive, but vividly and dangerously alive.

BAHAHAAHAH

I TOLD @WrongEndoftheRainbow TO MAKE MYSTERY ENGINES AND CLAIM MAGIC AND HE ACTUALLY DID IT

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

Heads up, you may want to change 'magic' to 'arcana' or something for the port name. Magic is already established as a domain, but 'arcana' is defined as 'obscure knowledge' and arcane magic is considered (in the universal fantasy canon that is D&D) to be the magic derived from knowledge and intelligence.

Jolly good show otherwise, you have my blessing. (At least 15-50 years on in the timeline you do.)

Finished below daily quote yesterday, doubling down to make up for lost time today.

Let's roll lads

Done! Had a slow run towards the end but I found the thread again and finished above target.

...

You know what's satisfying? Creating a despicable character, making them out to be the lead role of the story, and then killing them in a single line with no chance to repent.

@Tybalt Capulet That's the spirit.

I OVERSLEPT.

You're all ideology.

(Termite doubtless knows better than me where it would go)

@Oraculum

Rightyo, I've got the sum of my chronology sitting around here, as well as my knowledge of Jvan-related dates.

Hider

i have no idea bro let's not think too hard about it

The Pronobii may actually be fairly late in this timeline, their most recent posts taking place 5-10 years PR or more. Jvan certainly started looking into the problem as soon as Osveril left, but it would've taken time.

Also, note for timeline: Tauga never left Xerxes until she was dragged from it half dead. Writing reached Metera at about the same time as Chirality, and over the ten or twenty years thereafter it had a crunchy boom characterised by silk exports and massive stone architecture.
