>+/-Ecological Development: The Dragons have Returned
>The Great Progenitor's influence discouraged the nesting and habitation of numerous Wyverns and Giant Reptiles such as the Boiling Lizards and DRAGONS. Dragons are not but a simply large "wyvern", Dragons are not to be trifled with: They never stop growing, live for hundreds of years, lay hundreds of eggs at a time, they breath fire and inspire a great amount of fear, respect, and cultural significance in the southern continent. Rumor has spread on the mouths of Southern Cyclopean Sailors that a few Dozen Dragons have already begun nesting on the Volcanic island within the bay of the southern continent: fattening up on whales, wyverns, marine reptiles and seals so they may lay their eggs.

>The Great Progenitor's corpse has been picked clean and nothing substantial remains to be eaten save for scraps only fit for the fish.
>The however must feed and so he is taking it out on the plains: Once again bringing great destruction, disaster, turmoil, and hardship for the lands.
>The Zizz is not but a simple bird: His red plumed body blankets the world and replaces the sky, at any moment his great pointed beak spears the heavens to effortlessly pluck up Mammoths, Paraceratheriums and entire herds of roving cattle.
>The Zizz is not but a simple bird: He is massive, he is the sky, he is the air; he brings with him a great and terrible stifling wind and great pillars of thunderous lightening strike the earth below him.

>Failure. -Rise in Beasts complicates the expedition

The South is more than happy to assist you in your endeavors to capture and tame a Boiling lizard or at the very least obtain some of their eggs for capture, but the Volcanic island they dwell on has become an increasingly dangerous place. Their home has always been a stable rookery for boiling lizards, but during recent times it's skies have become infested with flocks of Wyverns and even a Dragon or two are now being spotted- slowly gliding over the warm volcanic winds as they bring back whales and prep their nests.

You do not manage to capture any boiling Lizards: The expedition doesn't go tremendously bad, but everyone agrees to get out before people start getting eaten or burned alive.

>The "Volcanic Island
>The Volcanic island -for those who don't remember- is the island just within the bay of the southern continent. It is a land mirred and ruined by constant Volcanic activity with a charred landscape and sparse vegetation. It has become something of a massive Aviary and Rookery for all manner of fire breathing creatures.

Alright, I had some ideas about heroes and I'd want to get your opinions before rolling.

Our civ is kind of anti-individual, which runs a little bit counter to the notion of a hero being an individual who has gained renown from a feat of great skill

Why not have tatooing then to show great accomplishments of the individual, identifying them without making them named. Kind of ritualistic feats of daring like Counting Coup mixed with the tatu from far cry

Check list for tonight's match of things we need to do.

1) Get Mycea to help out with getting the Manticore Tribe to Calm their tits, maybe fully integrate into the Cyclops before the Gorgon Empire and Dinosaur tribes get serious about wiping them out.

2) We need to recover the sun god's lightning bolt from the corpse of the great progenitor

3) We need to ask Mycea about the true nature of Mana, insist on it until she tells us.

4) We need to get our elf bro up to the moon again so he can save them from extinction with Mycea's super special seed.

>Maybe reach out to the Changelings about the 3rd child

I dunno if the Third Child is a Changling Demigod.

Mostly because they weren't much involved with the goings on with the progenitor. I mean even our god "Orange Boy" is a god of Coral reefs and such, rather than cyclopses. The only "race specific" one is the Merfolk Demigod.

I'm thinking Dark Blue is a demigod of outsiders in general. He's attached to Akalade, and seems to have more progenitor-ish stuff going on physically.

>>38383206
Third child is an elven god. Probably the only one of its pantheon still alive.

>>38383050
I don't think the demigods will like it too much if we start acting on behalf of the god children without consulting them first.

>>38383236
Probably Mycea had included elven dna into the corrupting seed to grow this demigod

>>38383109

Hey, we should give Mycea the grand tour. Maybe even bring a cutting to the Arcanum so the islanders can hangout with her too.

>>38383236
Maybe, maybe not. No one in charge seems to know.

I was under the impression these were "new" gods all together, rather than reincarnations. They were birthed from the progenitors flesh, and as such are closer to it.

Currently what's going on is as follows: The Gorgon Empire has taken control over much of the Fungal wood and there presense is very firm and politically cemented- the only real resistant to their power is currently the Dinosaur tribe which has seen an overwhelming amount of military solidarity and growth. The Dinosaur tribe seems to be stemming their power from a line of Mysterious leaders and even today they continue to be the only source of resistance towards the Gorgon Empire through sheer military prowess. The Manticore Tribe on the other hand has fallen in relevance and the Tribe is beginning to split into two cultures: Orthodox Manticores and a "Fungal Tribe".

From what you can tell: The Dinosaur Tribe and the Gorgon Tribe are on the brink of War and The Manticore tribe is too distracted by a Cultural revolution to intervene.

Currently your presence is only just enough to prevent full out War from happening as the Gorgon people themselves do not wish to drag you into this through the cross fire.

>>38383510
I'm not a big fan of us going into war either. But I'm not opposed to the shifts in the tide of power a war between the gorgons might bring. I mean, worst case scenario is that an entire new tribe of people are wiped out forever, but best case is that a brand new culture establishes itself and weakens the dominant Gorgon Empire. But that said, outside of military prowess the Dinosaur gorgons don't got much going on for them, and the Hydra Mother is practically a GOD on their side.

Lets lean towards making some sort of peace summit or event just to stabilize/manage things.

I'd like for those two red territories of ours to connect some day.

The Plains are not a fun place to be in at the moment: it is a twilight stricken land of near perpetual darkness as the Zizz over-casts it's shadow on the world. The Wind created by the Zizz's presense is strong enough to tamper with the local weather: preventing rain, removing cloud coverage, and the difference in tempature causing horrible strong winds and 'dry' lightning storms that cause brush fires.

Every single being is making themselves sparse: The Ant People have hidden themselves away within their cavernous mounds and the Changelings are MOST welcome to the emergency aid and hospitality you're providing within your neighboring mountain towns, Jungle Farming Villages, and the small trade town thats begun to develop where the Air-Monolith's stand.

>+Increased Political Relationship and Understanding+
>Within the firm, stone, earthen shaped halls and homes of your people, the Changelings are able to find solace and protection from the Elements outside. Your hospitality is comforting to them and through these trying times you learn much about their people: They at one point possessed a large standing and lucrative trading empire that spanned the entire super continent and traded with all numerous other Changeling cultures and civilizations. They saw and built many wonders, flourished in undeniable wealth, and had one point mapped out the entirety of the "Endless lands".
>That was a long time ago though and currently their species lives a more scattered and cultural varied existence, but they still remain confident they'll rise to global relevance once more.
>The Current Changelings you interact with are a mix of sub-cultures containing: Nomads, Herders, and a small fraction of traveling Merchants.

>>38383857
I'm guessing Fungals are the more peaceloving or calm group, where as orthodox would be the usual death fetishists and murder cultists.

There was a little "event" when we first met the Manticore tribe that might explain the dichotomy better. It was a "Murderbrawl" and mostly featured the tribe murdering eachother just to be Chieftain. All the while we sat with some philosophers and mothers in a Murder-Free zone as they explained their almost peaceful philosophy of the cycle of life and death.

There is currently extremely high Merfolk traffic between your various islands and the "Deep ocean" ever since The Great Progenitor had been killed: The perpetual storms have calmed, Sea Monsters and Creatures have become more abundant, and the Ocean has taken a much healthier shades and tones of blue and teal. Your Relationship however remains only one of a personal basis as they seem hesitant to commit officially for a few reasons:

>Their great kings, queens, and spiritual leaders have -if not all- been killed and consumed by the Great Progenitor; leaving behind a large vacuum and cultural absence in their various sub-cultures and civilizations. Their political environment has poor stability and they are currently just trying to figure things out as they apoint new leaders and so forth.

>Merfolk cannot "speak"; their mouths and throats are adapted for life underwater and they cannot formally communicate in the same way you can, only able to chime out squeaks, chirps, and other animal-like noises they find embarrassing. They instead possess Telepathy, but this practice is.. "subversive" and it's culture does not translate well over to a spoken one.

>+Silver Lining: You do however bond over your mutual love for the ocean and many of your coastal communities spend a great deal of time co-existing and working with Merpersons to hunt, fish, and forage for food on the tide. This has provided a lot of time to bond and apply a greater understanding of one another and rekindle a certain nostalgic familiarity that hasn't been apparent since truly ancient times.

The re-building of their civilization will be a slow and methodical process, but your Two Species possess an unspoken familiarity and comfort with one another.

The Province of Mycea's Grove has been defined by it's pleasant agrarian communities, sweet and fresh smelling air carried on the picturesque wafting clouds of colourful spores as well as the beautiful mixed Fungal and Jungle growth that grows rampant- displaying gorgeous flowering plants, and varying colours of pink, teal, red, blues and healthy greens. The Province is a land of vivid natural colour and peace and is one of the most important cultural and agricultural sectors within your side of the world.

It is only natural that it has become something of a junction for peace talks between the various Cultures that habitat your side of the world: The Gorgon Tribes and even a few intrepid Changeling Merchant groups have begun to make the treck over the mountains to see what all the fuss is about.

>+Dramatically increased Changeling commerce+
>The Changelings Merchants from the plains have become eager to trade within the province of Mycea for food, temporary shelter, and various other goods and services. Their presence is.. mildly unsettling to some people; so they keep themselves as rigidly humanoid as possible when in the company of others and never take their cloaks off in public. They've begun opening their own Unique establishments: Money Changers, Gambling Halls, and Theaters. They also introduce something called a "Circus" which is a traveling band of Entertainers and trained animals.

She is an utterly humongous Gorgon Woman- she is a Giant among her people and even by Cyclopean Standards she is quite tall.

Her hair is Black, but kept short- She does not wear any adornment beyond simple Bracelets or Anklets and a simple ornately pattered dress to cover her Crotch.

Her most defining feature though is her full head of writhing Snakes, Her intense gaze, and the long, black, Triceratops-like Horns that crown her head which she adorns with layers of Golden rings.

She speaks softly and bluntly, "I am the Cosmic Serpent and we have some things to Discuss- oh great one eyed children of the Sea."

She comes before the local Sages council in secrecy and discretion, "I do not have much time to dawdle; The Hydra Mother and myself were once one being adrift in the stars due to the similarity of our two souls. I was the "tail" and she the "heads". Now that we are reincarnated- the existence of my physical reality is most likely "inconvenient" as I have lead her to believe my identity was consumed within her own soul.. When the reality is far from it." She lets out a long drawn out sign to herself and rolls her shoulders- She seems tired, tired and worn out.

"I admit I am not fond of being alive; I belong within the stars, but I am obligated to my worshipers and I am obligated to you, Children of the deep. Without your Blood and Seed I would not be here right now."

She goes on to admit that she unfortunately does not have a plan: Being alive denies her of omnipotence and compels her to more natural emotionally invested reactions and feelings that sour her judgement. She implores you though to remain neutral: she is only motivated by the survival of her worshippers and those who still remember her. A God is nothing without it's people.

>>38385862
Well the obvious answer is to build a temple to the Cosmic Serpent even here, and then use a ritual to help speed their return to the stars. Thus giving them back their power, and ensuring their worship even afterwards.

This is actually not a very explicitly demanding or difficult task for your people: They've always made trips to the Rib-shaped Reefs in the past and present to fish, gather shellfish, hunt for pearls, and some were even brave/foolish enough to climb up the formations in search of bird eggs.
The entire voyage only takes a few weeks- and passage to the "Mainland" where in your jungle communities have begun to develop is just a short boat ride away from there in clear weather: only extending your traveling time by a few additional days.

This path of travel is MUCH more expedient and cuts the travel time to a few months as opposed to almost the whole year it takes to travel ALL around the mainland.

>+Dramatically increased Traffic between Islands and Mainland+

Your people frankly do not like to.. "police one another". Law, Order, and punishment continue to be enacted and respected on a very personal level: no one over bearing force commands or penalizes for anything beyond their individual communities and personal relationships. Law and Order are only supported with any kind of efficiency and structure because most people know one another in communities and the Sage council often acts as an unbiased judge and Jury to particularly difficult or uncomfortable situations.

The problem with this is that the population is growing and at the turn of every century the population DOUBLES: There are more and more strangers and more people whom don't know one another and your own version of "modernity" is slowly creeping onto your Ancient civilization as urbanization becomes more rampant with trade and commerce.

Also where did the progenitors spine fall because truing it into a bridge to the mainland would be awesome.

>>38386622

>>38386622

The Progenitor's bones are fresh, progressively whitening, and the splay out of the ocean depths as a new land mass that brings a new and distinct wonder to the horizon, but to "colonize" it and claim it as your own comes with many physical and political problems of it's own that you've come unprepared to deal with:

>The Great Progenitor's Reef
>The Bones have seeded the growth of an immense and beautiful coral reef that rises and flourishes from where the ribs meet with the waves; forming layered and "shelved" growths of vivid and colourful corals. These reefs are called home by a rich variety of fish, shellfish, and unfortunately; Immense and dangerous Sea monsters: Sea serpents, aggressive fish, marine reptiles, and even Wyverns frequent the area.

>Political Problems
>The "Ownership" of the reef is currently disputed by the Southern Continent's Snowclops people, the Merpeople, and your own island dwelling Cyclopes. No one realistically wants to "steal" it from anyone, but the place is just TOO good of a fishing spot and the treasures that dwell within it can't be ignored.

>The Lighting Bolt has broken into two piece:
One piece is in the possession of Mycea, she willingly returned it to your people on her way back home and as soon as it was placed back within your Arcanum the flow of Mana was quickly restored.
The Second piece was unfortunately the much "larger" portion: it has sunk to the bottom of the depths of the Bones- most likely still embedded in the Progenitor's shoulder blade. It's been a couple years, but it slowly seems the piece is making it's way to the surface: An amazing and breathtaking display of Corals growing around it and taking the form of a massive spiraling coral tower that is nourished by the Mana it pours forth.

>Complete and total Abject failure to the point of being detrimental.

The attempts of the Sage's council to police and better provide legal and civic protection to people has created a small amount of tension between the general populace; especially the OLD and the YOUNG as they've never had to be "ordered" by law and they resent this turn of events as.. "lacking faith within the people."

This is however been most disastrous with regards to the creation of a counter Culture:
>-Cultural Development: Degeneracy
>Drinking, Gambling, and Sexual liberation have always been things your people have enjoyed in respectful moderation and without any desire for excess as rich and satisfying social lives of friendship and companionship have lead to self control. The looming threat of LAW however has created resentful Degenerates: Dirty, filthy, naughty Cyclopes and Gorgons who are especially lewd and inappropriate in their actions and displays. Without going into detail; they commit weird and offensive acts- often times in public as a show of protest.

>Successful Counter Roll.
>Cultural Development: The Silent Majority speaks
>A Number of people find the Degenerates "Hysterical": Law is not there to take away your right to drink, sodomy or for any other various lewd acts between consenting adults. Law is here to protect those who cannot protect themselves, to establish written and mutually agree'd upon regulations and practices between adults, children, and beings so people are not mistreated or taken advantage of.
>+Political Invention: Domestic Laws
>Domestic law is law that is followed, practiced, and unforced and agreed upon universally by Communities: It is a stature of laws that protect individual people and persons: Pedophilia, Rape, Theft, Harassment, Child-theft, and so forth. More importantly though, it guarantees mutually beneficial reconciliation between victims and perpetrators more efficiently curbing crime.

I think we should leave it alone to let it peeter out. We've made our grievences known, Law is to Protect those who can't protect themselves. and we were apparently "heavy handed" at first and this led to people acting out.

Best to LET them act out, and slowly calm back down. Expect it to take a generation or two.

We aren't quite at 1920's or 60's levels of counter culture quite yet.

>>38387686
Agreed. We got what we wanted with a little bit of backlash. We should just see how it plays out for a little while. Eventually they'll see that the laws aren't there to strip away freedoms, but to protect those freedoms for everyone more effectively.

>Establish an Observatory within the Mountains.
>Roll 16/20, Roll 56/100
>Above Average Success overall. +Akalade's assistance. +Racial Bonus

You haven't checked up on Akalade, but he's become something of an iconic and relevant figure-head in a number of your Arcanists and Leading Magi circles: He's been seen doing talks and lectures within the Arcanum and has assisted greatly in the recollection and continued documenting of the Blind Sage scrolls as per commission of the Weeping Sage cult. Akalade in his time here has developed a wealth and breadth of knowledge that one could consider supernatural.

He comes before the Sage's Council, respecting proper tradition and dressing to appease local tradition: Wearing a striking coral and flower hair piece, long flowing robes he's fashioned from both silk and grown materials he's cultivated himself. You make your request of him and accepts without hesitation.

He demands though a number of resources, "I'll need a working team of Cyclopean Masons, Resources for the observatory, and an entourage to the structure sight- the best locations would be the Home island, The Fungal Mountain, or The Mountain range separating the plains from the Fungal woods."
Akalade makes a personal last request, "I would also like my public Sexual ostrasization to be lifted- I wish to begin courting again." This wasn't 'entirely' important, but Akalade had been banned from Bathhouses, etc due to his questionable emotional health during puberty.

>>38387960
I hope he learns to cope with aging mates.

>>38387960

Good for him.

>>38388145
I don't think he'll be going for mortal mates.

>>38388169
Ok that made me grin like a fool

>>38387960
Do we need to vote to lift his ban? If so, I vote yes. If he really thinks he's ready. Hopefully he's not schemin or something.

>>38387960
Let's construct the observatory on the Fungal Mountain

>>38388212
Where's the fungal mountain? I can't remember. (i assume somewhere in the mainland)

I dunno I think mainland has been fairly developed as is. And I'd rather we build it on the Mountain range.

>>38388237
Well as long as it's not in the storm area affected by the Zyzz. I would not want to put Akelade too far away from our civ. Fungal mountain would be in the middle of gorgon/cyclops territory for him to study

>>38388169
Pretty d'aww.. Thanks.

>>38387960
I'll vote to put the observatory on the mountain home island. It's probably safer there.

>>38388285
Uh, I mean home island.

>>38387960
>"I would also like my public Sexual ostrasization to be lifted

Sure, also apologize for our oversight of his needs due our concerns of his safety and health. It was never mean to be a long term imposition but our concern for him and the recent crises rob us of the attention need to address this.

>>38387960

I vote for the Mountain range just to encourage our people to expand and settle further from the islands.

>>38387960
Place it on the Home Island.
and appoligize for the Sexual Ostrasization and lift it.

>>38388346
Seconded. We need more landmarks in newer areas.

>Roll 77/100
>Success through EXTREMELY lucky roll DOUBLE 77'S


Through making minor improvements to the Floating pot: Strengthening their pipes, increasing their locomotion, speed, flying height, carrying weight, and so forth your Arcanists make an accidental discovery in terms of the physical capabilities of what exactly magical tonal resonation can do in terms of it's application on industrial or trade uses.

>+Magical Technology Discovered: Bell Forge+
>The Bell Forge is something exclusive to your culture: A great iron bell is finely tuned before being engraved with with explicit and complicated ruins that are ingrained with a mix of electrum to carry magical tones more efficiently, the outside of the bell is then covered in a second layer of Iron so as to create a multi-layered echoing distortion of sound. The sound and the ringing of the bell is capable of making exciting the molecular bonds that efficiently mimic the forging process without the need for fire.
>Bell Forges can essentially be hung up within a Workshop: A blacksmith may hold metal inside (using prongs of course) of it before ringing the bell it regular intervals to forge and temper the metal before it is finished traditionally.
>Bell Forges produce weird and somewhat unusual weapons and tools that can have unpredictable magical properties- but their physical quality is impeccable.

Serious answer though, parthenogenesis. Think of it like the asari from mass effect. Males just provide a bit of genetic material and a sort of initiator to reproduction.

>The Observatory will be built on the Mountain Range- within the Range of Mycea's Grove.
>Akalade's Public Sexual ban will be lifted.

The terms are mutually agreed upon, Akalade receives permission to essentially have sex again, and they dismiss themselves from the council. They spend a few Months within the home island: drawing up drafts, finalizing plans and constructions, documenting and cataloging funds and resources- and Akalade spends a few weeks catching up with his sex life; he seems to have gotten a little rusty, but his experiences are overall positive if albeit a little sore.

They travel by ship, down through the already established trade route between the islands and the mainland Jungle communities that exist beyond the mountains to shave off a few months of travel: The necessary supplies are sent on a different vessel and the Glass and Metal working are created on site before their arrival so as to save time. The entire process though will take a few years- you will not receive the results of the observatory until the next session due to the precission and necessary engineering it will take to construct it. (also we're almost done for the night)

>>38388802
Sure. And maybe a magical orerry.

>>38388814
It probably would. He is gay though. Or bi. Just like a lot of our people.

>>38388852
You guys sure are paying a lot of attention to his sexuality.
I'm usually of the opinion that it generally just doesn't matter.

That said I think it'd make sense for him to be bi, Immortality would make any one gender boring after a while. that said wouldn't mind if he was gay.

Akalade gets a gorgon harem, right? He deserves that.

>>38388723
Neither. I don't think they'd name any of the beetles.

>>38388916
Just stating facts anon. He had a husband.

>>38388916
Yeah I figure he's gay because of his previous mate

>Discern the True Origins and Nature of Mana
>Commune with the Sun
>Roll 16/20
>Sun Roll's 9/20
>The Sun "tells" you with benefit to your interests.

Your people are incredibly curious about the true origins of Mana- Mana, this mysterious, golden, nourishing, and iridescent liquid that readily flows from any divine or magical sources- even the God's themselves at times. You simply MUST know the nature of it's origins and the Sage council unanimously agrees the first person they should ask is the first source of Mana they've come upon: The Sun.

The Monoliths are dusted off, the old instruments are picked up, the Hymns are rehearsed and offerings are presented for safe measure; no one has had to actually ask the sun or formally commune with the being in a LONG time. They begin their hymns, the council lets forth a boisterous and loud magical and ancient chorus that is sent forth to the heavens to hopefully land upon the gaze of the great burning eye that is the sun.

The sky Crackles, Golden thunder lines the heavens- clouds are cleared, the blue sky turns a soft comforting orange and a beam of golden light sends forth a response, "MANA? MANA IS LIFE. MANA IS DEATH. YOU ARE MANA, BUT BE THANKFUL YOU ARE AS WELL NOT 'TRULY' MANA.. THE RED WORLD, MY SONS. DO NOT SEEK TO ABUSE OR CONTROL THE PROCESS OF LIFE- MANA HAS A SWEETNESS THAT CAN QUICKLY BECOME A POISON WITHOUT CURE."

I'm thinking the Red World is still... Primordial then. Like its full of demons and monsters, because that is the freshest and earliest form of life there is. We are born from the bones and flesh of gods after all. The Red World is a world COVERED from head to toe in the Great Progenitor, or creatures like him.

Good to hear from Sun Dad again. Dude has been giving off the hella sweet vibes now.

>>38389040
Mana is basically primordial ooze. Goodness. Does that life could gestate from it if we have enough lying around? Could we create NEW life forms?

Shit this explains the origins of monsters and spirits too.

>Get Mycea to tell us about the true nature of mana!
>Roll 11/20
>Roll 5/20
>Mycea "tells" you with benefit to your interests.

The next being you seek to Question is Mycea; you've observed Mycea "bleed" Mana and Mana was what poured from her corpse as it decomposed. She is, however, back in the land of the living now and physically doing the rounds within her Grove and Province.

She does not need any great ritual or assembly or anything like that: She can be stopped and talked to by your priests, sages, or even a simple farmer as she walks her groves. Her Avatar form is immaculate and she has an un-deniable atmosphere of divinity, but her personal mannerism is one of humility and discretion. When she is addressed she neatly tucks away her gown of vegetation and sits quietly on her knees before her companion.

You ask her the Mana Question, she has to think about how she's going to answer this and she spends the time holding your Sages within her lap and gently stroking their heads. It is a beautiful day: the birds and flying reptiles are singing, the sky is clear, a gently breeze washes over everyone and the world is calm and peaceful on ones face- beautifully complimented by the large fluffy colourful spores that hang upon the breeze of Mycea's domain.

She finally speaks, "Mana is.. Mana is very important. Mana is a fluid that is produced by everything alive- it's a direct physical byproduct of the soul and particularly conscious or 'large' souls are capable of creating a physical liquid form you're familiar with. In the natural world this fluid is quickly consumed by all manner of living things and it's re-attributed into the system.. Though..."

Her tone grows a bit distant, while she slowly raises her hand to brush the hair from her eyes, "Mana can cause a kind of "pollution" to occur if it over-saturates a world; too much Fertilization can burn a world.. Red.."

>>38389423
We can probably keep using it for what we've been using it for, be he JUST said not to abuse it or try to control the process of life with it.

>>38389040
I think the time has come to ask Mycea if she can muscle through the horror and tell us more about the Red World, given what the Sun has told us, and that we know OTHERS on this planet might be attempting to contact it.

We need to know in general terms. She knows we don't desire power, but knowing always helps more than it hurts.

THE RED IS LIFE OVER GROWN

THE RED ROT SPREADS

>>38389509
ooooh... OOOOH!

Okay... I think we need to ask her to confirm something.

Is over use and abuse of mana something that creates people addicted to it? Perhaps so addicted to it that they attempt to get to other worlds and make them into 'mana' farms of sorts?

Its okay. (thought an event was supposed to happen at the end of tonights session, that is unless finding about the Red was it.

How are the god kids doing? How far have they developed like age wise. How far are they away from being proper independent demigods. I also wonder what cute antics they've been up to.

>>38389732
I've been trying to find a use for those wind monoliths that we've researched and made but never used.

Elementalism is the first kind of magic we discovered.

I recently acquired the first three issues of Morrison's run just because of how hyped it is on /co/'s Multiversity threads.

That said I'm not sure if Morrison's metanarrative fetish makes it 'quintessential' AnimalMan.

I for one also love how it ties into things like Swamp Thing (The Green), or The Blue, or The Black, or The Gray. I think bionicle gave me a fetish for elements and heroes tied to colors like that.

You still think South is "up" as you have no reference/it's not really important, it may as well be north.

>>38389789
>Does Hydromancy effect Ice?
Ironically enough; not entirely. Ice making is rudimentary, but it requires knowledge of pyromancy since it's the one in charge of manipulating tempature. Ice/cold is the absense of HEAT/energy after all.
MAGIC IS ACTUALLY ROOTED IN SOME LEVEL OF PHYSICS.
I AM NOT GOOD AT PHYSICS, BUT IM TRYING REAL HARD SO MAGIC MAKES SENSE/ISN'T BROKEN.

They're around 5-6'ish. They're doing alright, but they don't have much power at this moment or divine sway, so they're keeping close to Mom.

>>38389930

From the merpeople entry:

>both male and females possess large stretchy breasts they can inflate and deflate with air

my question is: what the fuck!?

>>38390123
think air bladders. Their breasts would be located over their lungs, so seems like a good place for air bladders.

What have we been learning from the blind scrolls? We've had people studying them for a while now but nothing much has come of it.

>>38390123
Air bladders. Like bouyancy tanks on a submarine. Is my guess.

What does Mycea think of are necromancy and what where doing with it?

>>38390159
Cm is just really into Magical Realm

You're capable of mining and processing Silver, but not on the level the Gorgon empire commits towards it.

>>38390075
>What's the difference between the Fungal Crops from Mycea Grove and those from the Gorgon Empire?
Nothing really, they're the same species/crops- breed variety and produce rates obviously vary, but Mycea hasn't caused any new species to develop out of nowhere. Mycea's grove at one point was a source of extreme fertility and production due to the reinstated symbiotic relationships between Plant AND Fungi that had been lost in ancient times leading to the development of Fungi dominated old growth forests.
These aren't present anymore on the mainland: All the jungles on our little "strip" have some immerssion of both plant and fungi that produce great diversity, produce, and natural health.

>>38390123
>>38390137
>>38390159
>>38390186

They're Air Bladders: They're technically located just behind the breast, but it still creates the same effect of making the breasts appear larger by pushing them upwards and out. Merpeople dwell within a variety of depths in the ocean and need to be able to rise and lower themselves and adjust for pressure.
