@SnakeOilCharmer: I hope that this story point was free for the picking. If not, I sincerly apologize! I'd been looking where to place this guardian for a while now, and this seemed perfect. @HotsuSama: I recently realized that my "The sixth Arcanist Eternal" post states that ascension to godhood is unprecedented, which through careless reading on my part heavily correlates with what is currently happening inside "The Bright Dawn". Luckily I don't feel that the statements in those two posts are exclusive and it makes me very excited for the implications to what kind of being is hatching in the Brightwoods. If someone were to believe the myth of Gungalion having been involved with what happened in Boros Major and the subsequent formation of the Gorge, well let's just say that we can only hope that the Bright Dawn was not an intended consequence... @edit: At first I wanted to name my post "The Protector of Morton Freed", but then I realized that this didn't make a good entry for our overview table as it lacked a singular descriptor. I think I could have helped myself calling my post 'Lore' or 'Settlement/Artifact', but I felt for considering the Ethereal Lands on a grand scale, the settlement itself is probably more important. I hope my designation still makes sense, even though I clearly wrote more about the Emerald Skeleton and the skeleton itself probably won't get an elaborating post in the future.

Hello everyone! New year, new map. Not much in geographical updates this time around but always good to get up to code every once in a while. Quote:
And jeez, the idea of someone engineering something like the Bright Dawn is actually kind of hair-raising.

An update - one I had a lot of fun with in picking through some of the established lore and myth in previous posts, with a little added in to fill out the remaining blanks.
It's against my antipodean nature to make a calendar where the beginning months of the year are winter, but I recognise I'm in the minority there, so when in Rome ...

I can also add something else new, which is more than a little relevant to my sudden need to add a way to track the days.
I've been asked a few times about the Ethereal Lands as an actual game setting. Well, it's getting its first game! I've started running a solo game with Wishkamon about a prestigious harpy traveller on a mission of goodwill. Will the Ethereal Lands benefit as a result? Or will everything drown in an apocalyptic magic-storm? Let's find out!

Great way to tie things together Hotsu! Let's see if I can muck it all up again. Speaking of Rome...
Brand-new creations as a result of this post include: The Great Pillars, The Green Needle Pillar, The Godsend Pillar, an unnamed mystery cult dedicated to the Frayers, an unnamed cave that runs deep in the earth near the Godsend Pillar, and a partially complete outpost under Casmore's control. This post contains referenced associations to many other established features of the world, including: The Frayers, the Eddazeth mountain range, Casmore, Lake Bredden, the druids of Eddazeth Mountains, and the Broken Throne. This post implies the following: that at least one (or perhaps multiple) deities may have created the pillars. That there may have once been a mountain range supporting the Green Needle pillar, before the Broken Throne became broken.

So wait, do all the pillars reach roughly the same altitude of 30,000ft above sea level regardless of where they appear from the ground? Out of curiosity, how wide might they be?
The table is fairly relaxed, as long as there's keywords that can be used for the more important bits of cross-referencing. I'll put a line in now!

HotsuSama,
All this worldbuilding makes me think of a little story-telling rpg I stumbled across. https://www.bendutter.com/sigil-ston...rseverant-rpg/

The Green Needle pillar in the Broken Throne being the same height as the rest has some interesting implications, the more I think on it. It could be the most shallowly rooted of all. Also, why wasn't it toppled when when Zeth faced the Breaking? Either the departing deity Keppana (or someone else) thought the pillar so important as to protect it through the Breaking, or a deity is incapable of causing even indirect harm by toppling a pillar. Or the merfolk are right, and Keppana didn't actually go anywhere. I was thinking back to the cooling tower of the power plant I used to work at when the pillars came to me, so I suppose they are about that wide. Google says it's roughly 330 feet in diameter. Of course, architects and engineers the world over agree that even something this wide at the base supporting a structure of such immense height is preposterous, and that each pillar should have snapped under its own weight long ago. How they are still standing is something of a mystery.

Ah, coolies. I was having trouble visalising their width and kept seeing them as stupidly skinny in my head. And yeah, I was wondering about their relative rooted depth as well. Interesting ...
I'll leave it to others to fill in what settlement looks like within Fellund itself, as well as any specific curiosities. I mostly wanted to define a little bit more geography, and it felt like the thri-keen established in an earlier post weren't getting much love so I wanted to establish the movements of the main tribes.

Reading the test game made me want to bump the thread. Figured I'd flip the script on this one by adding some deliberately loose ends. Sometimes those are very handy. Last edited by GabeTheKid; Apr 4th, 2021 at 09:35 AM. |

I've been meaning to catch up on the new content here! There's some great mythological elements in particular here. Looks like I may need to do a new map update soon too ...
