The bad guys are evil, the self-appointed good guys are evil, and not to toot my own horn, but the fragile flaxen-haired androgynous pretty boy is the figurehead of 'good', currently.

@poog the pig

Lifprasil? Good?

There's that part about his complex where he thinks that he must rule the whole planet and create some divine kingdom, using as much violence as it takes to get there!

Ommok, on the other hand, knows his limits and is content with simply using his rock to enslave you and your neighbors. Ommok, our favorite ogre sorcerer-king, is this RP's bastion of goodness. Logos and Ilunabar should look to him if they want to learn about regality, sovereignty, righteous rulership, morality, and the like!

@Kho

Is that the one you PM'd me? Can I see the additions?

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

I didn't save the maps and so there's not much I can do. Rainbow hopefully can uplaod them somewhere again and give me the new link.

I should but that requires reading all those summaries and I am lazy...

@Lauder

See @Kho, summaries suck and nobody wants to go through the effort of reading them all. They're just a bunch of incomprehensible walls of text. Why not remove the Good Samaritan Rule to save time and allow for easier catching-up when people fall behind?

There's probably a whole colony of them! Fire elementals would be a bit underrepresented otherwise.

Which raises the idea- Are there fire elementals at the bottom of the ocean, regulating volcanic chimneys and oceanic rifts and such?

Unfortunately, though these plans are kinda long-term for now, they're also rather delicate. Wouldn't want a gang of well-organised fire djinni interfering with a large-scale Jvanic construction plan now would we

That would be awfully messy hint hint

@Antarctic Termite

Yeah, while not established as canon I always imagined the mantle as being filled to the brim with fire djinn. That's probably why most of Galbar's volcanic eruptions happen in the first place! Mantle gets crowded so a buncha guys decide to move on out to the surface.

We can maybe weave this into the larger plot with Murmur and Basheer's crusade against Jvan.

LOTSA STUFF.

Fortunately, BBeast did some summary work a week ago, so I don't need to exert myself. It's not exhaustive, obviously, but it captures the main points. Feel free to ask questions, someone will get to them eventually.

<Snipped quote by BBeast>

Ed: On an entirely different note, is anyone planning on erupting Mount Bormahven sometime soon, or has some major stake in that? If so let me know and we can work something out. If not I'm calling dibs.

@Antarctic Termite

Isn't that the big mountain in the Ironhearts that I said Slag was in waaaaay back in that Char post? I think it is beause the name sounds familiar.

...

Well, whatever mountain that Slag is in obviously erupted when Luna accidentally foiled Ommok's alliance with the fire elementals. I may have beaten you to it ;p

Edit: Nevermind, if it's by the south pole then it'd be in the wrong spot. Must be a different mountain

Regardless, since you asked I'm interested in getting in on whatever you're planned. Maybe there's ANOTHER fire elemental in that mountain or something?

Pfft. I've made 40,000 character posts on a mobile device ;p

What Termite said.

In my eyes the spaceships were wildly inappropriate. I'd go so far as to say you lit the setting on fire with that post.

Teknall has made railguns and such, but they're confined to his personal usage and are essentially indistinguishable from magic. Whilst I'm not a big fan of Jvan's spaceships either, the fundamental difference here is that they're not some sort of widespread technology among mortals that just popped up. The point is that despite those things, we're still in the Bronze Age here for our setting. With that post, you singlehandedly advanced Xerxes from that technology level to some sci-fi far future. It was absurd.

I didn't write that with the intent of coming across as angry or abrasive; hopefully my wording wasn't too harsh. I just want to be clear with my reasoning and the extent to which I feel that post's content was a violation of the current technology level and Amartia's limits.

@Muttonhawk

Hieroglyphics are mentioned in one of my Vetros posts and a (possibly different) writing system is used to make records in the Temple of the Bond as part of Kho's Yara post.

So the Vetruvians have some vaguely-mentioned writing system(s), possibly taught to them by Ventus. Ventus spent some khookies a while to spread technology from other parts of Galbar to the Vetruvians.

@BBeast

I think it'd be really cool if Teknall took up Chemistry/Alchemy to carry on the mantle of Occult left behind by Mammon's absence. The alchemy could be the result of Teknall's logical approach to teaching mortals (maybe through Gerrik's eventual replacement?) the secrets of the Occult. Of course, the voodoo-alchemy would come into being because they'd of course mess up the formulas and experiment on their own and make all sorts of crazy potions. It'd be great.

Edit: In any case, the alchemy theme is much more fitting for the current setting. What would you be doing with electricity anyways now that we're barely into the bronze age?
