[OOC] Tabrasa\- Born of Chaos.

I'd prefer high fantasy age, but I'm okay with anything ~

@A Lowly Wretch
That's fine.

For your consideration

Ahmenophus, God of Magic

Name:Ahmenophus

The Prime Magician, Lord of Birds

Domain:Magic

Appearance:


Realm:

Aaru, The City Among the River

A city built of his own design, Ahmenophus built a paradise where all magic flows to and from. Hidden among the desert sands the city is a haven for magicians of all types where magical knowledge could be acquired by those deemed worthy. The river which flows throughout is the flow of mana which all magicians pull from and which all expended mana must return. Ahmenophus designed his city and the flow of magic specifically in mind so that the natural flow of Magic could never be stopped or taken advantage of.

Heka, Ahmenophus’ Monument

Heka is Ahmenophus’ personal dwelling within his realm. Here is where the river of mana leads and where it originates. Within this personal sanctuary magic culminates and is stored much in the fashion of his older sibling. Among the vastness of this inner sanctum Ahmenophus experiments devising new and creative magic's in the hopes to pass on his knowledge for eons to come.

Biography:
For as long as he can remember there was nothing; blackness, nothingness and an eternal Void. But something chose him, pulled him from nothing and gave him life, purpose, and a reason to exist. His first memory is a strand, something bright and eternal, being plucked from...something and his form being wrapped around it. And so Ahmenophus was born.

It took him some time to grasp what and wh he was but it almost came natural to him, his control of the force known as magic. Memories flooded him of magics that he couldn't fathom and he saw how to improve them. As he wandered the earth he needed a place to think to concentrate all of this madness flowing through his mind. Stopping in the southern desert he constructed Heka and declared it to be the center of all magic, but this wasn't enough. Soon an entire city rose from the burning sands and Ahmenophus deemed that this would be a sanctum for all those who seek to practice magic and called it Aaru.

Knowing humanity to be a rather, greedy sort, Ahmenophus took precautions to ensure that his realm was not to be taken by those unworthy. Hiding its location in a mirage that always moves he devised several tests to ensure that those who sought The City Among the River would be able to devise its location through carefully crafted maps and artifacts but would also be of noble intention. This has been the way magic and Aaru has grown for all these years.

Notes:

“Put this on my Tabula”

Creations

Djinn

Djinn are beings created out of pure mana from the Aaru river. Chosen to be the physical manifestations of all magic they are able to wield magic in its purest form aside from Ahmenophus himself. Almost always guardians of sacred magical treasures and liaisons to magicians around the world they are seen and known to all as Guardians of Magic. It is said that if you capture a djinn they are forced to grant three wishes.

Types of Djinn

Djinni - Masters of wind and water, these are the most common form of djinn. Jack's of all Trades of magic they are most commonly seen acting as the liaisons to magicians on behalf of Ahmenophus.



Ifriti - Masters of fire and war-based magic, these are mainly seen as generals in Ahmenophus’ army. More malevolent of all the djinn they rarely reach out to mortals and will often kill those who attempt to contact them.



Marid - Masters of earth and protection magic, these djinn are seen as guardians of sacred mystical artefacts. Often found in the harshest parts of the desert they tend to be isolationist by nature.

@A Lowly Wretch
I've been meaning to ask...how does magic change with Dirka's, and by extension Dealdrics, absence from the roleplay?

[Stabby]

Actually, how does god replacement work?
Does what they've done just stay and the god vanishes, leaving some mysteries for those who stumble across what's left, or is it like they didn't exist?

[A Lowly Wretch]

@ZAVAZggg - Magic is as it has always been. All magic is, in truth, power lent by deities. What Dirka represented was an unformed power that she so lent to mortals. I see it as a type of energy that, like fire or electricity, comes with unique properties and methods of proper utilization that are largely decided by the presiding deity. The only thing that should change in this transfer from Dirka to Ahmenophus is the qualities imposed upon this morphic essence and how freely he chooses to lend it.

@Stabby - I can't answer that here since it'll be relevant in my next two posts. Do trust that I'll reveal that information soon.

@Archangel89 - Everything looks quite good. In a couple posts I'll be informing those waiting to formally enter their posts and with those pending acceptance I'll be revising the roster to omit absent deities and include all those not yet submitted.

[DELETED jdl3932]

@A Lowly Wretch
Okay.

[Archangel89]

@A Lowly Wretch can I go ahead and put Ahmenophus in the CS section and replace my other entries

[A Lowly Wretch]

@Archangel89 - I'd prefer you wait on that personally. I'm waiting until I reveal the fates of those removed before I change the roster at which point those who are accepted will be included onto the list and can post their CS's into the CS page. My apologies if this creates some difficulty.

[Archangel89]

No problem just checking

[DELETED jdl3932]

@Archangel89
I like your sheet by the way. Sticking with the Egyptian theme huh?

[Archangel89]

@ZAVAZggg yup, my first couple were Greek and some Indian but I like this theme I have

[Duoya]

Sorry, stuff has been busy lately - go on without me for now, I'll make a post soon (next few days).

[DELETED jdl3932]

Just a bump.

No rush, just making sure y'all are still alive.

[A Lowly Wretch]

@ZAVAZggg - I'm alive. I was just giving folks a bit of time to wrap up their affairs before I roll things into the next phase since it kind of supercedes most other activities.

@A Lowly Wretch

Alright. As I said there's no rush, I'm just checking in.

[Duoya]

Sorry for taking so long for such a small post, things have been pretty rough on my end and I didn't want to make you guys wait any longer.

[A Lowly Wretch]

@Duoya@Noodles@Archangel89 - I decided you've all waited long enough so here it is, the first half of my intro into the Hall of The Divine. As I've mentioned all currently existing deities were affected so basically everyone aside from the newcomers will be placed in a ten thousand year long slumber. Luckily (Or unluckily depending on how you see it) time passes differently in the dream so they won't be stuck hanging around inside a dream for that long.

You may notice I don't have the second half of my post up. I'll be working on that first thing tomorrow but I figured I'd let you all see what was done thus far so there wasn't any more silence from my end of things.

@ZAVAZggg@Stabby - So I've erred on the path of bringing the setting forward into the age of medieval fantasy. Your deities don't have to necessarily have been around for the entirety of that time so you can determine how long within those ten thousand years your deities have existed. They could be relative newcomers, coming into their own around the time the old gods begin their awakening or they could have come to be just shortly after the gods entered their centuries long rest. Either which way you, and anyone else entering new gods, are free to submit sheets for review. Since I've thrown some new information some editing might be required so I'll have to look any submitted sheets over to see if they conform to the current circumstances proper. Aside from that those who I have seen look quite good so it should be of little issue.

And of course like before if you're still participating but I haven't @'ted you do feel free to let me know since my memory is far from perfect and thinly spread.

[DELETED jdl3932]

@A Lowly Wretch
I'll make some changes to my CS before I post it. As for the Yanites, I figure they would be able to stay shrouded in relative anonymity for ten thousand years.

They are a cult after all.
