And a river. And a desert empire.

A desert empire? Lucrative trade must be had between Lifprasil and these people. IT MUST.

So, does it really take Might to introduce a single species to creation?

And is this suddenly, or can we let nature take its course and just evolve?

I imagine Logos is planning something like this with his species:


To answer: if you're creating a whole new planet, it'll take few billion years and some stealing from Slough.
If it's on Galbar, you just need to steal from Slough.
In both cases, you need Might to create intelligent species.

@Double Capybara And I hope we'll keep seeing Ilunabar's musical themes in stuff like this. Is there any spiritual life native to Raka and feeding on/tampering with dreams, or not yet?

As for the domain switch/addition, I think it's entirely viable. You may want to keep building on the themes of desire, pleasure or escapism in there, since I feel like that's what you're going for with Ilunabar rather than undirected whim. Anyway, the only name suggestions I can think of are 'Fancy' and 'Reverie', which are both pretty much just positively-connotated synonyms of Fantasy, which is probably the best fit on a purely definitive level.

A) Oh yeah, you can expect a lot more musical terms coming from Ilunabar

B) Dream based life is a plan that will go on later. Impossible to not do it with Bakus (Japanese dream eating tapirs) and Fairies (Lured people in the dreamworld) and of course magical girls around

C) Escapism is a lot about what Ilunabar is about, and at the same time she is about Carpem Diem too. I think she is all about enjoying life and new things, be it with books and animu or by dancing and eating good food.

Extraordinary sounds like a decent domain. As for whether it is going to cause conflicts, I would rather see its development back to front: What kind of stuff are you intending to use it for, what would you like to do, how would it help you, and where won't it help you?

to use it for: first and foremost, to play with mortals, to bring new stuff to towns and when interacting with heroes I think oddity is always a good way to test them, specially because the Beauty domain will have her singing about them later.

what I would like to do: Shenanigans, Ilunabar bringing an odd festival to a town, haunting a place near a temple of a god, daring a hero to try to climb the highest mountain.

how it would help you: Novelty beyond Beauty, the thing is, right now Ilunabar is all about the pretty stuff, which she will always be about, however she often touches feelings that aren't defined by how pretty or elegant they are, a lot of times she touches wonder which is odd, intriguing or just simply amusing. I think Extraordinary/Fantastic gives her the tools to work that

how it would not help you: Ilunabar has always been out of sync, meanwhile her Beauty meant her opposite was boring/ugly, having this new domain will add "Ordinary" to her opposites, and that is big. I'm fully ready to take her even further away from creation, to put it in words, she makes great meals but she does not know how to harvest vegetables or hunt, while others will be shaping planets, Ilunabar will still be using might to create simple lakes and more often will simply resort to inspiring mortals and heroes or using her avatars when it comes to creating a thing from nothing.

Oh. Well, you can still make a !NOT! Japan. Or a !NOT! Sun-Worshiping Incan Empire.

@Double Capybara
Looks good to me. Extraordinary doesn't quite seem the right word though. Plenty of other suggestions have been made.

@Kho
Is it okay if I say a Dark God rampaged through a world of the old universe? I'd rather not take unauthorized liberties with the lore since you no doubt have it already worked out for the past.

<Answers>

Looks good to me!

@Cyclone
So, where is all that Zephyrion done going to be on the map? I know its bordering the fractal sea, but not much else.

I don't know who came up with the idea first? Me or you? xD This feels like Newton vs Leibniz all over again.

What if I use my own divine blood as a template? And this is just for non-sentient species atm...

Next post, the Citadel Rises. Terraforming begins....

Also, my race will be pretty much...

I was intentionally vague because the last map I made was rather rough and I'm not the best of spatial thinkers. I don't want any contradictions between what is said IC and what appears on the map, so I will reevaluate everything that the other gods have made, put it on a new map as accurately as I can, and then add Zephyrion's landforms wherever there is room. The map will then canonize their location.

I Imagine @Frettzo silently laughing at my meager graphics skills, but I'm growing in power... The other day I watched half of a youTube tutorial on making fantasy maps! Do not underestimate me, feeble mortals, for one day I shall be the god of maps!

*Lifprasil eyebrow waggles in the backdrop furiously

@Double Capybara Lifprasil, depending on how much Vestec influences, may take the Domain of the 'Id', or the furthest reaches of the mind, IE the deepest, darkest fears of the psyche. I just wanted to make sure you didn't think that was too close to extraordinary or dreams? Because if you got dibs you got dibs.

Some dreams will be scary nightmare yes, but this doesn't mean she controls fear, just like a dream where the person is crafting something cool doesn't mean she is now teknall. So, dreams don't take that.

On the extraordinary part, while the domain is vague I would be taking some very specific portfolios, spooks and alien are small slices of fear, but there are fears that are not even close extraordinary, fear of death and injury, fear of losing a loved one, those are daily fears, some essential for life itself. So no, fears aren't taken here either, because they are much bigger.

To sum it up, no clashes anywhere, don't worry.

@Kho *glances at Kho* Should I burst his bubble, or do you want to do it for me?

I would love to help with making the map, but I don't think there are any sites that allow for more than one person to do such a thing. And I would also be newer(and you've only had a little experience with it0 than you at it.

Alright cool. I was beginning to worry that people had started brushing off what I was saying as white noise lmao.

I could help draw the map! Granted people more talented than I aren't involved.

I'll keep that in mind and might actually ask for you to help by making maps of specific continents/planets as need grows. I imagine we'll soon find this RP having a lot of settings and I can see myself falling behind in mapping them all.

That sounds specific enough to be a Portfolio rather than a Domain in and of itself. Id sounds like it would be a Portfolio within the Mind Domain or Emotions Domain if that's a thing, unless Emotions is also a Portfolio of Mind.

You know what. I guess Portfolio would be more suitable, yeah.

Hmm. I've been thinking about what other portfolios to inherit. I was thinking sculpture, because flavour, but I've not got too much more inspiration. Is it going to be worth it?
