Lords of Creation 15 (OCC)

[Philote]

For the aquatic dragonborn (Do they have a name?), I want some sort of embassy (Is this the right word that I'm looking for?) built in Spectropolis next to the water during the transition where I can have three members of the Council of Heroes plus some other Eternites looking over them.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I did want it to be the melting pot, but yeah, that's a lot.

Luckily, the war is going to be entering a truce period as the second age opens, "hopefully leading to a lasting peace."

I just rolled my eyes, you just couldn't see it over the internet.

But with regards to the war, it's mostly been taking place "out of sight, out of mind" as it were. It's mostly fought via collapsing tunnels on top of one another. The land route into Spectropolis isn't really considered safe anymore, but the water route are popular because they can't tunnel under the river. You still risk getting raided by the Gravi, though.

Not much of the fighting takes place in the city itself, it more of a neutral Zone. Neutrality is enforced by Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes, head of the Witnesses, steward of Spectropolis, and Sheriff round these parts. Also, they can't tunnel underneath the city. You can thank the Monster King and the remnants of his crystal dome stunt for that.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I think Embassy is correct, yes.

That could lead to some interesting conflict between Native Eternites and Spectropolis Eternites. What's a good slur for "not a real Eternite?"

The Water Snakes don't have a name. I'm leaning toward Gills.

You know, because they're Gils last race and they breath underwater.

Now, how do we develop them over 400 years.

[Philote]

I'm not sure about the whole "Not Native Eternite" thing, since I imagined the embassy just being something where members from Eternus were just rotated over to Spectropolis for duty for a period.

Though with more beings from Eternus spreading out into other lands I might have to start considering how to handle the non-native ones.

Question, should I expect every race to have a small presence in Eternus? The continent is dominated by the races I have now, but that does not mean that there could not be small homes for outside races within the major settlements.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Boquabia does have a tendency to attract beautiful things.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

No, I mean the Eternians that live and grew up in Spectropolis. They fought for the city, I can only imagine that some of them would chose to stay. Their descendants would be the "Not Really Eternians," since they're more homogenized with general Spectropolis culture.

As for Eternus, I don't expect every race. I doubt many boquabians would want to move to such an intense place. I think the most of another gods creatures you would get, besides Cravs which I imagine have a "Little Alabastra" in most of those major settlements, would be Demons. You know, if Dryad signs off on that.

[Philote]

I'll have to think more on what the attitude between Eternites and those now living outside Eternus would be.

More Demons visiting might be possible now that Gilgamesh is gone. I had Gilgamesh naturally not get along with Demons because of his Domain of Heroism but now I can have my races be more open to them.

Its a shame that we never got to the finals of the tournament, I was going to have that be a big turning point in Gilgamesh's relations with Mina as her hero made it to the finals. The battle between Gilgamesh and Kagehana would have been interesting too.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Have you read Dryads plot summery of the first age? There were a lot of things like that in there. Lot's of little dangling plot threads.

[Philote]

I think the finale for the tournament was the only thing that I was directly involved in that I was not able to completely wrap up though. I mean I did not wrap up things such as the Balasar event as nicely as I would have liked but at least I was able to address it.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Well we can;t catch everything can we? Besides, makes for good legends if you've got the knack for storytelling.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I might tug a few of those. There are things in there waiting to be tugged.

And Phi, I'm sorry I had the fun police show up, throw Balasar into the fungeon, and then never get back to him.

[Philote]

That's alright. I was basically going to wait until you sent one of your Spirits then have Yojimbo turn the gang into Balasar the Hero and the Servitors so that they would have diplomatic immunity in a sense so that I could force them out of the punishment.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Yeah, I actually mentioned that before. Not everything has to be outright resolved right now, though. It makes for good mythical stuff later on.

I know I plan on doing it for my Boquabians. They got lost in the shuffle of battle, and so rather than going through and giving them all an explicitly detailed 'happily ever after', I actually plan on referencing what happened to them, through the asking and telling of later generations.

 "Gather round, kiddies! Time to hear the story of how the great Lord Draias came to discover this fine settlement we call home!"

It'll be awesome.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Oh cool, he lived.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Heck yeah, he lived. He actually outlives every other member of his little group (Fandas, Rox, Gosso and Linessa). And since I never got to create my few sects of religion in the First Age, the Second Age will be prime pickins' for me to create the Order of Beauty, the Order of Passion and the Order of Creativity (names pending). I plan on tying up all my loose ends in a tidy little bow, in this coming age.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Well, not many, but certainly some. After my religions are started, there's certainly be Boquabian missionaries (if and when the place is determined safe enough not to die and stuff).

[Zaleramancer]

Fire Resistance is fairly useful.

Consider this: Normal mortals don't have skills.

A Skill represents a sublime and often supernatural capacity at something.

Fire Resistance as a skill would be effective immunity to fire unless something really powerful tried to hurt you with it.

[Zaleramancer]

I'd still like your input, since they're basically at least half yours.

[Zaleramancer]

Thanks for the wiki help.

I'm to lazy to ever actually get around to it.

[Zaleramancer]

I'll keep that in mind.
