The book is fine, I guess - since the creatures aren't actually summoned, but created from the very ink of the book.
Thulemiz isn't too fussed about who rules Garakai, he likes it more semi-independent and free. So long as it is acknowledged that it is his vassal and supplies him with whatever aid he should need, he'll leave it pretty much to Aztoc's devices. Should create for some nice politics between Thulemiz and Quay (and will be an added reason for that visit I mentioned to you via PM xP)
Perfect, didn't want to overdo anything. The 'visit surely will be eventful.
<Snipped quote by LokiLeo789>
Aztoc did say that all the people left. It's just him and his ungodly army given to him by Vestec that are left in the flying fortress...
If you mean that when he signs it all the invaders nearby will be sold, I don't think that the souls of Ialu and whoever else are coming are even Aztoc's to give.
No matter, the whole soul thing was insurance, Aztoc is not to be trusted. Aztoc's is still mine. Hahahaha-hahahah!
Filling up a library ten times larger than any mortal could build is a chore even for a god. Arguis sighed, pausing from his current speech about the Secrets of Wi and it's different denominations. A fascinating thing really, he would have to experiment with it sometime. The Toren, who patiently waited for Arguis, placed their writing utensils down, and began to talk amongst themselves.
Arguis' mind began to wander, deciding to take a break from the writing. As he mind wandered, he began to hear the prayers of mortals, although most of them did not interest Arguis, one stood out amongst them all.
"Gods of Galbar, I will not lie to you. I am a evil man, by anyone's idea of 'evil'. I have lied, stolen, murdered, enslaved, conquered, and betrayed. All in the name of power. And I regret nothing. I do not throw myself at your mercy, do not pray and beg, to have my life spared. My choices have brought me to this situation, and I will accept my fate. I pray to you to give me the power to fight my enemies. To leave my mark on them before I die. To let the future know that the last true Lord of Garakai did not go quietly into the night. That I did not die cowering behind my walls. That I fought with my dying breath and my enemies knew fear. I will pay any price demanded from me. Just give me this one chance to make Garakai's memory be that of an Empire and not of a hovel."
Arguis no doubt was impressed by the 'evil mans' truthfulness and frankness, but he was much more interested in the fact that he was willing to pay any price. "Aztoc huh." He mumbled to himself despondently and he stood up and began to pace, his excitement for the situation growing. The Toren watched Arguis quietly, no expression shown on their face, it could have been described as a deadpan expression.
"Take a break, I will return soon." Arguis proclaimed to the Toren before dissaperaed in a flash and teleporting to the wall that Aztoc stood upon, actually not to long after Vestec's appearance. Arguis looked over the wall at the ground below, nodding in approval at the Vowzra's handy work.
"Seems that you've been visited by many gods. Arguis said glancing around at Aztoc's Realm, frowning at the corrupted Cimex and and Uri in his Armies. "Im going to have to ask Vestec to stop messing with the Uri, their population is to low already, having 500 of them disappear is not doing them any good. Arguis said exasperatedly.
"Anyway, I didn't come here to talk about my dissatisfaction towards the soldiers in you army. Arguis summoning a large leather-bound book, it was surprisingly light for how large it was. The cover of the book read Morello-Nomicon, the book itself producing an aura that chilled the very soul of those standing around it. It was a book of Arguis' imagination, drawings of monsters that could be called demons, hundreds of ferocious monsters ready to do their masters bidding. The book was about 300 pages long, 250 pages of the book were the same picture, it featured Drakon, humanoid Lizards armed with Halberds and Axes. Their scales just a tiny bit stronger that of dragons, their blades capable of damaging dragon scale armor, they wield advanced fire magic, capable of utilizing Blue Fire, which is much hotter than the normal red. Along with this addition to his army, Arguis provided him to Wraiths, phantom like beings that can possess other sentient beings, Aztoc had a total of 20 under his control. That meant that 270 pages of the book were just powerful summonable additions to his army. The other 20 pages were incantations, capable of summoning natural disasters, and controlling it, although that would prove very difficult to do, and cam be very draining. The last of the book blessings, are it's unnatural ability to significantly boost Aztoc's Unusual power of Dimok, pushing it beyond its original limits as long as the book is in his hands.
The second the Morello-Nomicon touches his hands, all this information would be thrust into his head. Arguis kept the book away from his grasp, smiling and pacing around the man. "As does everything, this power comes with wires attached, a catch, a price. It's simple, something within you power to do. Arguis said, shrugging nonchalantly as he paced around him. "Everything in Garakai, every soul within the country, and everything on the land itself and the land, will now become the property of King Dusis II and me. That includes you." Arguis said pointing at Aztoc. "After the battle, weather you, or your enemies win, this place with belong to the Uri and me, and worry not, what Thulemiz asks for, it will be given. All you must do is sign this." Arguis said, summoning another book an opening to the first page. The book floated in front of Aztoc and pencil appeared next to it. "When you sign this book, everything, and eveyone in Garakai will belong to me." And with that Arguis dissaperaed, the floating book would follow Aztoc until he sighed his name, the second he did that, everything and everyone's names will be written in the book, their souls bound to the book, and it would automatically travel to Arguis, and Morello-Nomicon would then appear in Aztoc's hands.
-Arguis answer Aztoc's prayer, and gives him the Morello-Nomicon, a demonic book. (1 FreePoint due to its power) In return, everything, and everyone in Garakai, and Garakai itself, belongs to Arguis and Quay.
-3 Might invested in Literature Control and now become part of Arguis' Portfolio.
@ActRaiserTheReturned At the moment we don't have orcs, gargoyles or any other trope fantasy creatures, it's only humans, who are pretty much the same as in our world, Uri, who don't have any kind of power against being stabbed, let alone shot, and the Cimex, who are equally vulnerable to stabbing and shooting.
And we also have dragons, whose scales offer very good protection, but certainly nothing to prevent a cannonball getting through without their magic wards. We also have undead, but they're hardly invulnerable t physical attacks for the most part (unless they're ghosts)
Well we have 16o years to change that do we not, the Uri will become scarier than the plants from Plants vs Zombies! The Cimex will Poke-Evolve into a nicer but even stronger version of their current selves! Fear the future!!!
Well, we won't be having 1500's grade firearms for a long time yet. Don't worry though, we'll eventually have our fantastical, impossibly hard metals (as any self-respecting fantasy world must). Any that are created at this point in time, however, must be exceedingly rare. Like, rarer than oxygen on the moon.
Pah, you all know where the first every library is. You know who the first ever librarian is. You know who the first ever author is. Arguis and Mirtagn will always be mockeries of the one, true, great and best original: Zerabilziiii!
It's several different solutions of chemicals, including mercury, mixed in with iron, tin, copper and charcoal, it needs to be heated with the traditional way, like with hot water as well.
Can that really go to together naturally, like, magic has to be involved right?
Oh no you didn't, you think you can just make libraries all willy nilly, it will never hold as much knowledge as Alma'Toren. But thank you for the act of worship to Arguis.
Granted. But the fact remains, Aztoc did promise to kneel to Thulemiz, and he wouldn't have just waited for the battle to be decided. If it's 'see what happens and hope' or 'Interfere and hopefully kill Ialu and his allies' Aztoc is going to interfere. As far as he knows, Thulemiz is better to kneel to and easier to manipulate, whereas Ialu's just going to kill him.
Not to mention, I think Arguis would have made whatever devil's deal with Aztoc he was going to before this happened. Not sure, that's for @LokiLeo789 to say. Vestec certainly would have (THE COLLAB, WE NEED TO FINISH IT @FRETTZO).
Regardless, I'll adapt. Just something to keep in mind.
I actually was planning to make that devils deal, been thinking about what to take away from the guy. We can still do this right? I'm up for it.
