@Charzy: I never said it was a single god:

Edit: It also came to my attention that we don't have a patron god for a lot of concepts. Perhaps we could have patron gods for the classical elements for Zhan's sake, a god(dess) of nature for Markiel, etc.?

Emphasis mine.

@jasonwolf: Ah, I see. Last game, the concept of order and the concept of chaos were split between two gods. I wonder what sort of lore implication Alnox will have, being a combination of the two. Oh well! I'll write him in.

Edit: And to clear up confusion, you guys are all pretty much at liberty to design lore that's relevant to your characters (within reason and under my oversight - mainly to prevent conflicts). Thought I'd mention it since some of you don't know how much power you actually have in that regard, and some of you might assume that you have more power than you really do.

I'm almost done!

Since this seems to be what we're doing, here's the part of the map I've delegated to be the Storm/Shadowlands.

I might need to make a sheet for Lady Death to go into the bestiary for how much I threw her into this. Would that be okay? As she will be a NPC of course and should know our heroes fairly well as she taken them from the land of the living to the land of the dead.

@ravenDivinity The real core of the idea I've had is them being all about this big cycle. rise and fall. ebb and flow. The nature of the world. Long ago he was praised for bringing life, but when it came time to reap the human spurned him and he lost his influence. He made Mark his arbiter to continue that cycle to bring the rise of new lands and crush the old.

@ravenDivinity are we doing something different in the IC? I just say cause I noticed @Deltav has 2 posts in and we haven't received a GM response yet. If something different is happening it'd be good to know, otherwise delta might need a heads up on how that works.

Uh, I'm not making a GM response until everyone gets at least one response in. Nobody really should have more than one post.

@jasonwolf Y'know, I, nor Clarent, have forgotten that little comment of yours. We have just given our response. Dragon Slayer vs Woodsman. Knight vs Hunter. Regent vs that cute little pocket knife of yours.

"So come then, Arbiter. I will burn your forests, poison your rivers, and butcher your owls. I will salt the earth that you call home, and shatter the rocks until all you recognize is but ash. The war against you will be total, as will your defeat. So run Hunter.... Run back into your woodlen glens.

The Knightly Harmonic Order of Coquelicot is Hunting you now."

@ravenDivinity yeah that's what I was thinking. Delta currently has 2 up in the IC. I don't think he knows that.

@jasonwolf: Ah, I see!

@LancerOfBlue: Death probably handled with decay, putting timers on people's lives, dictating the amount of time ordinary people had to live, and taking ordinary people to the afterlife. The legends are the business of the gods themselves as far as the afterlife goes, so Death probably wouldn't know anything about them or taking them to the world after death. Plus, y'know, even if she did have that knowledge, it wouldn't be useful to us in the roleplay because all gods, all spirits, all deities, etc. (basically any sentient entity that bestowed anything upon the legends) are dead by the time the events of the IC begin. Death wouldn't even be around to tell anyone anything.

@DeltaV: Like @Dextkiller pointed out, I would advise against putting more than one post down at this point in time. I haven't even responded to anything yet IC. I'm still waiting for other people to post their starters.

@Dawnscroll: Holy shit, your post takes up like half the page whenever I load the first page of the IC, and there aren't even 20 posts in there yet. My head is spinning.

Yeah and I just got my sheet done. All these posts are very imposing :P

@ravenDivinity Y'know, I added some more stuff to it. So you might want to read it all just to freshen up.

Again.

@Dawnscroll: :'(

@FantasyChic: I read your character, and I approve!

Y'know, I feel like our pantheon is still but bare though. I don't want anybody to think that we're limited to just those gods. There were probably more, and if I recall correctly, the last run of this RP had a nature god, a love god, a fury god, and a time god.

I'm in there like swimwear! Will IC post when able

Yeah, no kidding. @Dawnscroll, that's a bit excessive.. Did you do what I did and combine posts? Cause that's a ridiculous amount of writing for one post.

That'll do. So far the only of the old stock to write a new post. Ya lazy bastards.

I'm in game development. Being lazy is my job.

Looking at the state of the gaming industry, I'm inclined to believe you.

@Dead Cruiser
You mean making strides toward bigger and better games and innovating new tech yearly? Yeah it's terrible. Frankly I can't speak for the bad games that come out, but the good ones are better than they've been in a while.

Mostly referring to the strides made to pump out half-complete franchise-focused games as quickly as possible, to then release the majority of content content as on-disc DLC and microtransactions.

But, you know, corporate interests stangate art wherever they take root.
