[quote=@Antarctic Termite] Did you mean khopesh? The khopesh is the Egyptian sword design you mentioned Xerxians using glass versions of. A Khoshep, on the other hand, is when Kho becomes a shepherd and has trouble with troughs. I think we'd be looking at it from a very Earth-y perspective to consider science and magic like this. Far-future technology on Galbar wouldn't compete with magic. Instead they'd integrate. Imagine a rocket launcher inscribed with elemental fire runes launching incendiary rockets that erupt into flaming demons on hit. Imagine a Tesla gun in the hands of a lightning mage who can control its electricity so perfectly that he can hack computers from 500 metres away with a thunderbolt. Imagine- Biotech space marines who augment their incredible physical and mental capabilities with the power to distort fate to their will so that nothing is impossible to them. :hehe [/quote] Imagine Ilunabar controlling the whole media, from newschannel to the fibeswood movie industry. Imagine Ilunabar creating a sick ass counterculture that takes over the universities and becomes just culture Imagine a bunch of arconian wing people denouncing these two points as some sort of collectivist interdimensionalist intrigue without even knowing that all their dank bebe the orc memes and eccentric conservative personalities chippering on social media are also all under Ilunabar. All this, of course, leading to Ilunabar's great, universe shattering objective: Making waifus real.
