[OOC] The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy got like...a third of a post. Question: are all Omestrians born with that elemental fire hue in their eyes, and then those without it are the ones who have been subjected to some sort of ether drain at some point in their life, or is the blazing gold restricted to a smaller group of them (probably something hereditary)

@CollectorofMyst trying to figure out if Oren has the bright orange or the standard gold.

And who else Zt knows that has the brighter color. So far it's...Rose. Not that she's associated with that many Omestrians, but whatever.

[Lovejoy]

@shylarah Um, I might be forgetting something but I don't think Asherahn eating people and erasing them from time is something I've alluded to. At the moment we only know him as a Remnant who's been expunged from history, but who is still very much conscious and is actively having an affect on Omestrian inquisitors. I could be wrong here though. Maybe something I wrote accidentally gave off that impression? Let me know!

As for Omestrian eye colors, I see it a spectrum. Eye colors can range from burning amber to pale gold and everything in between. When it comes to how I've described certain Omestrians having eyes that possess a subtle "glow" to them, yes, these are people who haven't been drained of their ether.

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy spine, soul, the rest of that list. Those weren't listed in the Varyan canon, but they /were/ listed as ones Asherahn and Omestris consumed

Right, thanks. Zt's eyes are at the orange end of things, and it sounds like Asherahn's are too. Given that she's not seen that many other Omestrians, I'm gonna go with it being a surprise.

And I'm going to guess Rose's are similarly colored.

Also now trying to figure out if Asherahn was just utterly awful and Omestris was good merely in comparison, or if she was actually decent or at least got over the whole "destroy everything" idea and stopped being that kind of a god. It's unclear. Essa speaks of the twins as destructive, hateful, and consuming, but then bashes Asherahn and seems ok with Omestris.

[shylarah]

derp, wrong place. May need to tweak the post slightly, depending on @Lovejoy's answer to the question of the other remnants, spine, soul, eyes, legs, etc. But the rest should be good!

[Lovejoy]

@shylarah OH! I completely misread that post! My bad. I thought you were talking about something else entirely. Yes, Asherahn and Omestris consumed those other Remnants and they were left out of Varyan canon. As for Omestris not seeming as malicious as her brother, there's a part 2 to that story. :p

Will read your post now!

[Lovejoy]

@shylarah Great post! I feel for her. She's so confused and conflicted. Hopefully one day she'll get the answers she needs.

Also, just food for thought. There are a few things from Essa's story that you might want to keep in mind for Oren @CollectorOfMyst and Ziotea's discussion. Namely, the small detail that Essa included about Sydon-Mar being part of an unknown god. It's probably my fault, since I've been using god and "remnant" interchangeably, but when she said "god", she definitely didn't meant "remnant".

Other stuff to keep in mind. This land was once known as North Ura, a name neither of you has heard before. Also, and perhaps most importantly, Lanostre was not mentioned whatsoever in connection to these events.

Maybe something to ask her about when she wakes up. :p

@Lovejoy
Heart, Mind, Stomach, Left Hand, Trident, and Shield. That's six.

Right arm, right leg, left leg. Spine, eyes and soul. That's six.

And the Glacier and Sydon-Mar. Fourteen or thirteen total.

How many gods even wait on the other side of the sea?

Also, is it bad that I want to have names to put to the 'faces' of the gods Asherahn and Omestris consumed?

[Lovejoy]

@CollectorOfMyst I haven't given them names yet! Feel free to suggest any. This goes for everyone else too. :)

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Lovejoy Jeff.

[Lovejoy]

@CollectorOfMyst Only if it's spelled J'eff

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Lovejoy jEFF

But seriously, now you've got me brainstorming. *shakes fist*

[shylarah]

@CollectorOfMyst@Lovejoy

Fallen star was also used and Zt's a bit overwhelmed. Soi yeah, she'll dig through all the pieces later.

Honestly though, how many pieces of the Ice Titan are LEFT?! I can get trident, okay, fine. But then...I mean what body parts are left for over the sea in El?! SOMETHING'S NOT ADDING UP HERE!

and I love it.

<3

[shylarah]

Legs. Regel should be one. For reasons.

Eyes...Yara? Yora? Yari?

Soul...Kirana

[CollectorOfMyst]

Maybe Vertax or something for spine? If we go real simple.

[Lovejoy]

@shylarah I like those! Let's go with :

Right Leg: Regel
Eyes: Yora
Soul: Kirana

@CollectorOfMyst I think Vertax is going a bit too simple.

[Drakey]

HEY

I'm back, but I won't be able to post. Gotta brush up on everything.

Also...Hi

[shylarah]

@Lovejoy Pronounced "re-ghel"

It means leg in hebrew. *cackling*

[Lovejoy]

@Drakey Hi! Glad to see you back!

[Drakey]

I'm glad to be back. I'm gonna read everything and then send you a reply probably tomorrow.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Lovejoy I can go simpler, you know.
