Bio

Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I got started with writing online on the Spore forums. Man, those were the days. We're talking like 12 years ago 2010-ish!

I've been here on and off for almost as long, and have GM'd a bunch of different things to varying success.

Word of my splendor:

@Cyclone How on earth are you pulling a Holy order this early on? We've literally just discovered fire...


Elementals don't need no fire ;p
@Cyclone Just to confirm, Logos's tower/forge of creation is known as the Citadel, and Zephy's floating castle is the Celestial Citadel, right?

So, as it's implied through the text, the Citadel is host to variety of automated defenses and offenses which would hamper a god's assault on it, giving Logos time to return should he leave it. And if he's at thencontrols... good luck. It serves as his seat of power and the backup archive for all of his creations, along with the necessary means of creation for his creations.

Other than being a big fancy palace for Zephyrion to kick his blustery feet up... what does the Celestial Citadel do?


It's a mobile fortress that can go wherever Zephyrion wants it to. The giant gem that crowns its top is something like a conduit for Zephyrion's already immense control over the air and weather, and that's what allows him to blow the Citadel from place to place. No real automated defenses, but Lif's colony of guards is up there and soon I'll make a holy order as well.

Edit: Oh, it's also stupidly big if I forgot to mention that. And Ilunabar also lives in it.
@Muttonhawk Dunno if you got the idea from this, but Kaolinite is an actual mineral of clay. Nice little fact about your new magicks.


Kaolinite is what's used to make porcelain, so I'm sure it was intentional ;p

Dwarf Fortress can generate some pretty kickass sounding titles for places. "The Cyclopean Sea, the Singing Hills, the...Blood Jungle."


The Hallowed Milkjungle? Shining Axecastle the Bastion of Demons?

Sometimes they come together just right and sound epic, but more often than not it the DF name generation makes me burst out laughing.

@Antarctic Termite

I'll update the map to include that, and also add the Celestial Citadel floating above some odd corner. Zephy's house must be in EVERY map; it'll be like Where's Waldo? only with a giant flying palace that sits on top of a bunch of clouds.
@Muttonhawk

I just thought, "Oh, the White Sea is an actual place. Why not have a White Ocean on Galbar?" But you're right, we can do better.

Irontide Expanse? Toun's Folly? The Bleeding Ocean?
Alright. Post's up. I can breathe again.

Any questions regarding the shenanigans pulled?

Oh yeah, and I think the current MS paint map might need to be extended horizontally to fit the new feature.


Nah, I think we really need to start filling the map with more watery goodness. The globe is weird because it started dry and we've been adding oceans rather than continents.

Anyways, I've updated the character section post with a new crappy MS paint draft. If anybody spots any issues with it let me know soon, because I (or maybe one of my map-making minions) will soon be starting work on a more polished picture following that draft as a guideline.

Edit: Since we really need to fill in the map, I took the liberty of adding a place called 'Golden Barrens' where the desert gives way to empty land. It's like the Eurasian steppes and at some point, somebody needs to put Mongols there.

The brownish region surrounding the Venomweald jungle is canyons, mesas, and all that wild crap that Zephyrion made when he eroded that corner of the world. Except it's not overgrown like the nearby jungle.

Muttonhawk, since your summary said something about a better name for the Metalic Ocean, I tried White. Thoughts on that?

Edit 2: I'll post the new map here for anybody too lazy to even flip to the character section

I put my idea for a demi about 20 days ago and the sheet is basically done, only missing theme song. Is uh... That not being considered anymore?


Nah, I think you're good. We couldn't slam the door in your face now.
Pffft. You can't truly trust any of these charlatans. Zephyrion is a Supreme Being! He'll tell you about it himself!

Only he is a worthy teacher.
@Lauder@poog the pig
I can see it already: The Divine WWE. Kyre plays referee, Vestec and Astarte are the audience, and Vakarlon takes bets on matches


Divine WWE?

Do you see the future before us?

Zephyrion will turn his Celestial Citadel into a dojo. All demigods will go there to learn from the wise one. They will learn rulership. They will learn war. They were learn blood.

ONLY ONE WILL LEAVE
Ah, in true Egyptian fashion Vakarlon should just make sweet love to his own shadow and thus create an entire pantheon of gods.
