@Rtron, So when are you going to make those goblins and stuff?

@BBeast

They've been made in the Collab. WE'RE ALMOST DONE.

They're being dropped in the center of the Mountains. And they don't even like Vestec! Some of them specifically worship Teknall!

Rovaick

Creation, Species

Name: Rovaick

Lifespan: Varies from species to species (Will explain in individual sub-species)

Descriptions:

General Race traits

-Can eat anything. If it exists, the Rovaick can eat it.

-Strong Jaws and teeth, tough digestive track. The Rovaick can bite through and eat the strongest of materials. Their jaws are incredibly strong, as are their teeth. So long as it’s attacking the inside of their digestive tract, it’s difficult to damage it (Basically, if they’re eating glass it won’t hurt them but if you shove glass into their throat it still hurts. Probably kills them too.)

-Can see in pure darkness. Born in the dark, they can see in it.

-Can’t lose their way. Rovaick can unerringly retrace their steps, should they ever get lost.

General Culture: They all obey a council made of equal parts Trolls, Tedar, and Azibo, for fear that any one ruler would force the other species to worship their God. The Goblins are content to let the other species handle the ruling business.

Goblins



Lifespan: 20-50 years.

How common are they: Fucking everywhere Absurdly common. If you’re near a Rovaick settlement, you’re gonna see them.

Most Revered God: Teknall.

Culture: Goblins follow whomever is the biggest and the baddest amongst them.

Species traits

-Promiscuous. To make up for their simple mindedness and their relatively short lives, Goblins breed incredibly fast.

-Master Miners and Smiths. They can mine like no other(indeed, they enjoy it) and can make the very best of whatever it happens to be. Mithril, Steel, Bronze, so on so forth.

-Not too bright. They’re a very simple race. This leads to a lot of mine flooding and being eaten by local wildlife.

Trolls



Lifespan: 60-100 years.

How common are they: Common. They primarily reside in Rovaick settlements, and make up most of their populations.

Most Revered Gods: Vulamera.

Culture: Trolls generally decide social status by who is the better merchant. The more money you have, the more important you are and the more likely you’re to be their leader.

Species Traits

-Natural merchants. For whatever reason, trolls are naturally charismatic and naturally have a head for mercantilism.

Tedar



Lifespan: 100-160 years.

How common are they: Uncommon. They’re primarily wandering with their herds, or locked in their workshops.

Most Revered God: Toun. Illunabar.

Culture: Tedar typically live by themselves or in small groups. The leader of said groups is decided through surprisingly peaceful deliberations.

Species Traits

-Strong. Tedar are one of the strongest humanoid races out there.

-Shepherds. For some odd reason, Tedar have a way with animals, able to calm and tame them with ease.

-Craftsmen. Where Goblins are good at making things, Tedar are the ones who come up with the designs and the aesthetics making everything look good.

Azibo



Lifespan: 200-250 years.

How common are they: Rare. If you see one, and it’s not on the battlefield, you’re probably not where you should be.

Most Revered Gods: Beluarc, Astarte, Mammon.

Culture: Who is the strongest mage? That’s their leader and then it goes down from there.

Species traits

-Mages. They are the only Rovaick who can use magic. There are several different mage types, that can be told from what armor the Azibo is wearing. If they’re wearing bone armor, they can summon spirits from Vestec’s personal plane and turn them into eldritch monstrosities to slay their enemies (courtesy of Astarte’s teachings). If they’re wearing stone armor, they can manipulate the elements, especially earth. If they’re wearing dark metal armor, they’re using Kuro’s Wi and a slight bit of the Iron Legion’s magic to attack and manipulate their armor. If the Azibo is wearing a mere cloak, they use Dimok. If their armor is patchwork of all previously stated armors, they’ve managed to master all of them.

They’ve also developed a black magic that any Azibo can use called “Igregora”. Quite simply, they manipulate the subject’s body and energies, giving them incredible strength, speed, toughness, and generally just make them better at killing things. Unfortunately, it also often turns the subjects into rage monsters that hate everything and only want to kill. Fortunately, they can use it briefly in the battlefield for less of a buff but also less insanity. Dark Blessings, basically.

Ogru



Lifespan: Varies. Some die immediately from the Igregora, others live centuries, and still others live mere seconds.

How Common are they: Ultra Rare. If you see them, you’re being attacked by the Rovaick and should probably run.

Most Revered God: None. They hate everything and that includes the Gods. The only ones they obey are the Azibo, and that’s from fear alone.

Culture: Beat the hell out of each other until one gives in and acknowledges the other is stronger.

Species Traits

-Bred for War. The Ogru are Tedar with a birth defect that leaves them with missing limbs, usually hands. The Azibo take these children and use Igregora to it’s full powers upon them, allowing them to attach steel or stone limbs and make them terrifyingly strong, fast, and resistant to damage. They also force the inbred fear and obedience of the Azibo into them, so the Ogru obey someone.

-Hate filled. Ogru hate everything. Be it child or warrior, animal or warbeast, if they can they will destroy it.

@Rtron

Interesting.

Between Hain, goblinoids and humans, Teknall is going to be having a lot on his plate. Good. Gooooood.

[Rtron]

I want you all to know.

That's just half the collab.

I want you all to know.

@Rtron

[Scarifar]

Considering that a Wisp is still watching, I just wish Niciel could go over to interfere. A shame.

[Hael]

I want you all to know something: Vulamera's foolishness is intentional. Yes, I realize that she's a Goddess of Intelligence, but that's just it. She's intelligent, she's good at solving problems and learning new things... but she isn't wise in the least bit.

As time goes on, she will learn from these obvious mistakes, and become wiser and less risky. Right now, she's a smart fool: she can learn like hell but she doesn't know what to DO with that knowledge... yet.

[Muttonhawk]

So, is someone presumably going to interfere and stop Vulamera from mauling the foetus, or do we find out in the next episode of Dragonball Z?

[Antarctic Termite]

And that all life not created using Slough's life essence means blah blah blah White Giants attack them, blah blah blah they're unnatural, blah blah blah.

@Scarifar

Can I just pop in to mention that I really, really love how muddy the concepts of 'natural' and 'unnatural' have and will continue to become? I feel like it fits the whole mood of different deities competing to function and create within the same world really well.

It may have been the Chaotic influence of this ruined, scorched place, but Vulamera did a very un-Vulamera thing: she took on a body.

@Hael

*TEN THOUSAND FIBERLINGS SING JVANIC HALLELUJAH IN THE DISTANCE*

A very nicely detailed collab, though, so well done to you two. Looking forward to the divine coathanger saga next section.

Mammon shoots an arrow at Ull'Yang, but misses and kills Jvan instead.

That treacherous bastard

Vowzra taints Mammon's food, killing him.

Ain't karma a bitch

[Legion02]

@Double Capybara I'm going to make something other than humans. So feel free to introduce them completely to Galbar in all their glory!

EDIT: I also decided that, until real cities and civilizations start spawning, I'll be making something a lot more frightening, dangerous and absolutely insane required beings. At least according to Reathos.

[Dawnscroll]

*glances over Clarent's posts that he's totally going to just copy paste* So question: dragons; sentient or beastlike?

Also, I have just have the Last Unicorn
With christopher Lee. I have never seen such a profound thesis on immortality and dying.

But yeah, Elysium calls dibs on the unicorns.

[Double Capybara]

@Legion02 Really, we need anteaters.

@Dawnscroll I'm still unsure about how Ilunabar feels towards Elysium, so far she only has seen glimpses of her in my post.

They are going to possess intelligence and self-awareness, yes.

Writing Quality: 9/10.
Story Line Advancement: 7/10 [poor Navy - will its destruction bring about Jvanic Wrath? Will The One By Immortals Altered forgive the one who wounded her so?]
Character Development: 6/10 [his interaction with the natural cat and the unnatural one is fascinating - does it mean that his perception of beauty is physical alone?]
