“Subdue Keriss nonlethally”

-These words, how can they be in the same phrase?


Teknall doesn't really know Keriss. He just saw her from a distance once.

Can new links and portals to the Gap be opened by anyone other than Jvan and the late Vowzra? It was mentioned that Jvan controls its contacts with the world (here? I'm sure there was a better example somewhere, but I can't seem to find it), but how much isn't obvious, given that Phi needs to remain locked and most people have so far been sane enough not to try anything like that.

It's technically possible, @Oraculum. Teknall and Lazarus each opened up mental links to the gap and were almost destroyed by it. However, making a portal that would let more gap entities out after/without destroying the opener is probably you should ask Termite about. I imagine Jvan would take steps to prevent such a thing.

If a god wanted to create a plane of existence analogous to say....a single galaxy in real-space, could that be done?

@Oraculum It's definitely possible for anyone with the power or finesse to bypass Teknall's barriers around it, or anyone who gets their hands on one of Vowzra's artefacts, which are scarce but scattered willy-nilly across the universe. If they also have sufficient knowledge and patience (and damage control), they can even extract useful tissue from the Gap. Osveril is in a pretty good position to learn how.

Jvan doesn't control the barriers around the Gap but she keeps a very close eye on them via Ovaedis. She's touchy about it because of the risk, and how much she's sacrificed to gain what control she has, but much like the drugs she dealt when she was a teenager, she's all for responsible use. So long as she can continue to keep Galbar relatively safe she'll support whatever she finds interesting.

People lose out by not asking her for free gibs. She's a very charitable god.

Any deity can create their own, private plane of existence. This can act as a private retreat or a manner to escape from other gods. These generally cannot be located by other gods unless the god in question allows them to find it. Those gods whose domain involves dimensions or space/time warps may be able to find said planes. These planes are very small - don't think you can go creating a separate universe in your own plane!
original ruleset


@LokiLeo789 Depends on what you want the galaxy for. Being a collection of stars, a galaxy is by definition extremely huge. Even the Magellanic Clouds, two little galaxies that orbit the Milky Way like the moon orbits the earth, have billions of stars each- Imagine an entire solar system given away to every single human being on the planet for three generations and you'll get an idea of just how big even a 'dwarf' galaxy is. People were blown away by the size of the universe before they even realised there was anything outside our own galaxy.

So, if you just want the aesthetic, that's cool. You can have a mini-galaxy of some kind, with stars like candle flames, no problem. A galaxy analogous to a real one in scale is a bit of a problem.

@LokiLeo789, I'm with Termite here. A whole galaxy is in no sense 'very small'. As we've been using the demiplanes, there is no formal limit on their physical extent, but generally things get pretty featureless if you go too far away from the middle. The point of the size restriction is so you "don't think you can go creating a separate universe in your own plane." An entire galaxy contains enough stuff to be effectively a universe as far as people (or even gods) inside are concerned.

With no further ado, or notice, I'm gonna backflip into vacation-with-family mode again for another five days.

See y'all when I get into another car accident for the sixth time this year.

And, merry Christmas.

...After a bit of thought, I've decided to return.

Edit: You know what? Screw it. Faxrus is making a comeback. Boy needs some love.

Out of curiosity, is there a Discord channel or something?

@Bright_Ops while you're free to discuss with us and maybe try something different if you're sure, do remember that you can always have your character disguise himself, or fly around, or make an avatar, or go through a crisis and develop, or anything really. It's a very free form game. Don't feel restricted by a role you picked. You can go wherever the story takes you and the story can be whatever you feel is worth writing.

Or you could get help! There's plenty of nudgehappy busybodies here who're more than willing to help you write something interesting to you.

Where would you go from here if you had less problems with Farxus?

@Antarctic Termite

Had a change of heart and bringing Farxus back properly.

The only issue I'm having right now is that I need to relocate the demi god spredsheet where people recorded might and all that... and where to start in order to catch up and have an idea of what the world's like currently.

Edit: Found the Spred sheet. Still stuck on where to start in order to get a general idea of the current world from where I left off... I can't remember when I stopped reading.

...Sorry for the double post, but I feel that the question I need to ask deserved it's own post rather then be an edit add on.

Can anyone explain to me what the current state of the ig universe is and just how advanced technologically it actually is?

Edit: Also, how recent is the 'Recent' map of the world?

The presence of magic makes judging technology a little screwy. On Galbar, the largest civs are hovering around the tail end of the bronze age. Many populations are probably still hunter-gatherers though.

Different regions tend to use different magic. Shamans communicate with elementals, wandering stone people use mathematical runes to work miracles, Toun-worshippers use Calligraphic runes to work minor miracles and take oaths, Dwarves use captured mysteries to sail in the stars, underwater statue people manipulate ice, a couple of parties manipulate flesh with intuition, and chaos hordes blow shit up because thanks, Vestec!

Some regions are insular, like the Dwarven Empire, Vetros and the Valley of Peace, while others, like Rulanah, Metera, the Marquisate, the Changing Plains, Mesathalassa have expansive trading networks.

Story wise, check BBeast's log in the 0th IC post. Dwarves are expanding, islanders will be soon too, a shade from the past has appeared to seek vengeance and kill gods, a covert game of sabotage is being played out in the occult sewers, shapeshifting universe eaters are massing in space, a hollow figure is trying to make itself at home on a too-alive and too-colourful planet. Idk, lots of things and I should sleep

Okay, pretty sure I've caught up... or at least gotten a decent idea of what I'm going to do next. I do have one final question through.

How does a demi god unlock a new portfolio? Do they have to be a certain level? Pay a certain amount of might?

@Bright_Ops Welcome back, hombre!

Demigods can nab domains and portfolios just like gods:



Also remember that, amongst gods or demigods (not necessarily both at once) there may be no clashes of ownership of portfolios and domains. See the errata in the 0th post for the full passage.

I just got back from Christmas family stuff. I'll have New Years stuff next. Then I guess I'll pick up where I left off.
