The Adversary doesn't normally sit back and create his own territory; his creations reside within everyone else's. I've got a few ideas, but 'cause it involves everyone's creations it'd be cool to get your opinions.

The first is for the Adversary to create demons that live throughout the world, inside the deep woods, black caves, in the long shadows of crags and mountains and so on. Another is that the Adversary could create several points of occultism within the world -- places where summoning and performing rituals will be much easier. Things like standing stones and pillars in the desert, groves in the woods, columns in the sea; areas of the world that are in tune with the material.

What do you think? D'you have any ideas of your own -- they say two heads are better than one.

You could make festering cracks in the earth that these vile spirits and demons crawl out of, kind of feeding off of Takkal's (or is is Toun? I keep getting the gods mixed up ;-;) nightmarish vision.

Toun - Freaky god of perfection.
Teknall - The cool craftsman

I think I'm going to have Ilunabar trying to inspire Zephyrion to make the fissure in Ironheart Ranges spread around the world, creating Tectonic Plates and thus bringing change to the landmasses.

I know this might screw a few people over...

But its so pretty.

@Cyclone

@Double Capybara

Hmm, yes. Having tectonic movements to shift the Ventium very land itself and make yet another equilibrium for the living planet would make him happy.

Wait, how would Toun's vision attract demons? :S

She became the goddess of love and was the most promiscuous thing since Adonis?

@Muttonhawk

The idea was meant to play off of his vision of chinks in perfection that chaos would slip through. It wouldn't attract demons lol

Well, that and the true answer cross over in the burning sensation upon too much physical contact with the subject.

@poog the pig

Ah, I get you.

Yeah, I should think that a lot of people would be slacking off if Toun got the real world to that point rather than just his daydreams.

That's a cool idea. I'll go with wells. Holes in the earth that gouge deep into the realm of the occult. Prepare for burrowing centipede-snakes.

Jvan's Ocean

The Fractal Sea

Physical - Landform - Habitat - Galbar

Description: The Fractal Sea is a large ocean promptly created by Jvan after she made planetfall, in a playful experiment with the raw materials available on Galbar. It is a saltwater body and rather cold, bar its northernmost section. The southern edges of the Sea freezes over with the coming of winter and the seasonal expansion of Vakarlon's ice caps. Despite this, it is still fairly rich in phytoplanktonic life, making it a strong contributor and recycler of oxygen to Galbar's already nourishing atmosphere. Other forms of life are beginning to spread through it from their points of origin at the border of the Deepwood and the Jvanic Peninsula, where the goddess herself resides in body.

Appearance: This ocean, at its point of birth, took the exact form of a Mandelbrot Set, its axis of symmetry aligned perfectly perpendicular to the equator of Galbar, and its edges measured almost to the molecular level. Like any unenchanted landform, of course, it has been changing and shifting ever since. Notably, its southern edge, which lies just within the south polar circle, is distorted by seasonal ice, its north-eastern edge has been twisted out of shape by the Shattered Plains, and simple wind and weather patterns have smoothed its more jagged edges. Despite this, it still possesses an incredible and beautiful assortment of inlets, estuaries and peninsulas, its northern reach penetrating even past the northern tropic of Galbar, and has almost no islands. The 'cleft' of the central cardioid is a stone spire reaching deep into the ocean's heart, and at its apex rests the body of Jvan, large enough to be seen from space as a carmine glow on a rounded, porous grey plateau. Her lower body is largely hidden from view and flooded to sea level, though regular shifts in her shape often result in waterfalls from above or below.

Beneath the surface, the Fractal Sea shows every sign of its violent origin as briny blood was squeezed from air and earth alike. The sea floor is mostly metamorphic stone rent into wild arches, 'natural' monuments, mesas, tunnels and trenches, all of greatly varying depth and entirely irregular in their arrangement, a stark contrast to the measured edges of the ocean. These bizarre formations are most prominent at the center of the main cardioid body, which is separated from its adjoining shapes- Including the large northern circle that touches the equator- by an encircling continental shelf, and grow less pronounced towards its edges. The outlining of the cardioid by this underwater cliff means that if you drown within the waters of the main water body, even just fifty meters away from a beach, it will take a long time to sink.

Life: The first life of the Fractal Sea was photosynthetic plankton, and as it spreads and fluctuates, it has become a pulsing green tint in the ocean. These microbial forms are a combination of bacterial and eukaryotic life in many different shapes, mostly the latter by mass, and produces a rich and endless stream of marine snow for deep-dwelling and current-filtering organisms to feed on. The first multicellular species are the creations of Jvan using samples of the spawn of Slough, and as such, have a somewhat similar aesthetic to the species of the Deepwood. Jvan's modifications deviate greatly from one another on even the most basic levels, though, and some species have been taken apart and put back together again with pieces of one another so many times that it is very difficult to tell what their genetic donors were- Plant, fungus or animal, vertebrate, mollusc, arthropod or annelid. Much of this life can afford to be predatory or live by filtration, due to the high reproductive rate of the phytoplankton. Although the larger species do tend to wander, all breeding populations initially cluster on, around and within the body of Jvan herself, who edits them and experiments with them routinely.

@Fabulous Knight

Have you heard about how the Nahuatl religions had a Hell/Underworld of sorts that was a real, physical place? It was this spooky cave system that they thought spirits went to in death.

Similarly Mammon could make some of those caverns below the surface into his own little Underworld where mortals might go to do black magic or offer tribute.

And it was terrifying, and elaborate as fuck (though I'm no expert whatsoever, so for the life of me don't quote any of this). A whole physical and spiritual journey with distinct stages and terrain, like the levels of Dante's Hell, only that you have to pass through them sequentially unless you somehow have favour with the gods and can afford a shortcut.

Reathos might like it if you did a physical-spiritual combination like that underground, so long as it's not too close.

The spooks are back in town boys

[Fabulous Knight]

@CycloneI was more thinking about pouring blood into the pit, burning bonfires around the edge, building ziggurats around them, laying the dead outside it tower of silence style:

loads of dead bodies

I'm not sure where the wells would lead. Does a labyrinth of sewer-like tunnels filled with all the gore and offerings made to the wells sound like a good idea? It'd be full of the burrowing centi-snakes that made it, but it could function as a surreptitious mode of transport for the very brave.

I don't know much about native American culture. Europe/Africa/Asia's more my thing.

@Fabulous Knight

A literal Underworld seems like a good idea. It would discourage Ug the Caveman from wandering to close to the Hall of Reathos.
