>+/- Ecological Development: The Spring of Zizz
>He has parted the sky open like curtains and flown back up into his realm that lays beyond the clouds and the winds he has created in his wake have brought back all the rain he had denied the plains for years. You can scarcely recognized the plains anymore: Rain, nearly regular and constant rain that nourishes and hydrates the parched and lightning struck land. The rain washes away the turmoil created by the Zizz and in almost an act of apology or compensation it fills the land with a green and healthy hue not seen for hundreds of years. Animals are currently thriving, the ant people's have been culled to a managable level by flooding, the changelings are flourishing, and that warm, dry, unbearable breeze brought by the Zizz has been replaced by a damp, fresh, and earthy scented one.

>+/- Economic Development: Dragon Hunting.
>The Southern Continent has a Dragon problem; They have 7(14 adult dragons) breeding pairs of Frost Dragons and although that might not sound like much they annually produce over 8400 eggs a year and almost like clock work flood the skies, fern forests, grasslands, and shores with flocks of Whelpings. Most of them are of course eaten by predators, but a handful every few decades reach Adolescents and every hundred or so years reach Adulthood. The south has created a small economic boom from the hunting and processing of Dragons, they are an excellent source of many commodities: Meat, Hide, Bone, and Reagents.

>+Personal Development: Your Observatory is complete, Akalade is your guide to the Stars.
>Akalade in prompt fashion has completed your Observatory; it is located in the hills neighboring the mining city just north of the province of Mycea's grove. The Observatory is unto itself a small town of Astronomers and needs to be fed and supplied by the nearby villages and communities; making it's upkeep quite expensive, but it has the potential to offer a wealth of knowledge.

>High End Success

You've been capable of building boats and rafts since the dawn of time: fishing vessels and even longboats and canoes that are strong and capable enough to weather the ancient storms and waves to get you to the Southern Continent and it's Icy Shores... You've been slacking though in contemporary times with your advancements in water craft as of late, but that is about to change:
Purchasing designs from the South and improving and innovating upon them using the unique physical qualities of FUNGAL WOOD. Fungal wood is hollow on the inside layered upon rubbery structures that allow Fungi to grow beyond any feasible normal expectations. It also makes exquisite material for boats as it allows them to be made BIGGER and BETTER.

>+"True" Ships invented+
>True Ships are not dinky little two layered Boats with a deck and a bit of storage space; True ships have three floors to them which can provide room for bunks, storage, and oars/paddle rooms. These vessels are also so large they can comfortable be armed with weapons: Spear heads (to deter sea monsters, etc.) and even Ballistie.. if you had them. True Ships typically have Two to Three Sails and make a humongous difference in terms of trade; one big ship vs sending many small ships.

>+More Furniture Commodities Invented+
>Chairs, Bowls, Spoons, Mugs, etc.. A handful of perfectly mundane goods and commodities also get created as a by product; they're not a breakthrough invention or anything like that, but they make life more comfortable and with proper technique and coatings Fungal wood do make excellent dishes and bowls- a welcome and inexpensive change from CLAY.

>Lucky Roll 11. Interesting Results.

The Merpeople are a quiet race; they can't speak, they communicate through telekinesis and even then it can be difficult to "truly" understand them as the technique involves piecing together thoughts and memories to visually communicate new ideas and concepts within ones mind.. which can be subjective and uncomfortable, so naturally diplomacy is slow. Hand gestures though and the introduction of a written language have been slow but successful; some merpeople can actually READ Cyclopean, so it's a start.

Sufficed to say though, Merpeople remain more comfortable with your Maritime and Fishing communities: They freely trade goods with one another, they spend an awful lot of time together working, and sporting teams have begun to sprout up within communities to play something resembling beach volleyball.... This has however lead to some important and interesting developments:

>+Volleyball Invented
>Volleyball is a lot like "Soccer" but instead of using your feet you use your hands, head, or tail-fin in the case of the merpeople and is usually played with both parties immersed in about waist-height water and two large rocks built to represent the "court". Volleyball is unheard of inland, but it's popularity is steadily rising in maritime communities and has dramatically increased the amicable relationship of the Merpeople and the Cyclopes species.

>+New Crop: Kelp+
>Kelp is a long, green, wavy, plant that grows on the outskirts of reefs upon rocks; the Merpeople find it disgusting and only consume it as a famine food- typically only growing it so consumed fish may lay their eggs in it. YOUR people however find it absolutely delicious. The Merpeople have noticed this though and they've patiently spent time teaching and instructing your people how to cultivate and grow their own Kelp.

All across this great world there are numerous and diverse beasts of varying size, danger, and delicious'ness: Carnotaurs with Blood tinted and Scarred hides roam the dusty plains, Humongous white furred Frost Dragons bring shadows in the skies of the southern continent, and the mighty Therasaur with it's disarmingly silly waddle roam your very own Jungles... Why, even YOUR own people could be considered a vicious and terrifying beast if they didn't know any better.

The Plains though are by far the worst offender in terms of creatures you've never seen before or would prefer NOT to deal with on a regular basis if you can help it; the mountain range you operate your mining town and observatory in ALONE is home to an indigenous species of Wyvern that into itself is enough of a handful.

>>38543294
>Create new and improved musical instruments.
>Roll 94/100
>Complete Success +Foreign Influences.

Instruments as you can imagine play a humongous and extremely important role within your people's culture: History is analog through song and The elements and vary nature of reality is naughty by the eternal and endless composition of a symphony of endless souls in tandem. Currently though, your musical instruments have been quite limited- one does not simply "invent" new instruments in your society; each one is as sacred as the last and development can be slow, but through outside influences you've come to accept some new ones and invent your own.

>+Gorgon Instrument: Shamisen
>The Shamisen is a STRING instrument, this is unheard of in your culture, but is something more common place within Gorgon Society. The Shamisen is an instrument more common within the Manticore tribe and originally invented by the Gorgon empire through Elven inspiration; it has a delightful and enticing "twanging" sound to it as is extremely iconic within Rural gorgon culture. Made out of firm jungle wood with the strings tide and down either by hydra sinew or fungal 'leather'. It is inexpensive to produce and a welcome addition to your culture- it's popularity has exploded in popularity within Mycea's grove due to Country Cyclopean Folk having their Manticore Tribe wives strum them sweet folk songs during cool spring evenings.

>+New Instrument: Zither Invented+
>The Zither is a string instrument inspired by the Gorgon Shamisen. The Zither is LARGE and square shaped, resembling a cross between a harp and a guitar (if you had either of those, that is). The Zither is special in that it can be strung with METAL strings- specifically designed and crafted by Cyclopean Artisans to twine and produce only the most pleasing sounds. The Zither is expensive and usually only played during special occasions.

>>38544573

Oh, and one more:

>+Merperson Instrument: Ocarina
>The Ocarina was at one point an underwater musical instrument, which in it's own subversive way sounds obvious, but is difficult to wrap your surface dwelling head around. The Ocarina as you know it is a wind instrument originally introduced to your culture by the merpeople hundreds of years ago as a somewhat ominous artifact; you've managed to finally replicate it though. The Ocarina produces a sad and nostalgic tune- one that reminds your people of an ancient time when life wasn't so complicated, when beings were content to simply "be", when ancient evils were placated by the primitive innocents of humanoids, and when the ocean didn't bring constant change, turmoil, or drama- but only the comforting brushing sound of waves on sand.

>+Cultural Innovation: Orchestra
>The Orchestra is something that ties into your cultures practice of dramatizations and plays; Orchestras are finally possible now due to the diverse and explicit diversity present in the variety of musical instrument you now possess: Drums, Flutes, Bells, Ocarinas, Digirdoos, Shamisens, Zithers, etc.. You have the makings of some of the finest musical theaters this side of the continent.

We've been talking about this for the past dozen threads, I don't think we can make it happen. We've already asked all the gods about it, and they pretty ubiquitously put the notion down.

The great beasts that walk the earth and soar through the skies have always been something your people have either casually avoided or have had their taming efforts been mired by constant failure.
The Changelings however sympathize: They have circumvented and traveled the entire super continent in the bloom and glory of their own Empires age and have come to know many diverse, terrifying, amazing, and beautiful creatures. Their.. techniques and proccesses though for taming such creatures is something of a point of Controversy.

The Traveling Circus that has been frequenting The Province of Mycea's grove hosts a true wonder; a trained and performing Giga-Mammoth, the beast is so large it is actually used to carry most of the circus as a beast of burden. When it is not used for manual labor though, it displays amazing performances and wondrous feats that display the breadth and dimension of it's strength, size, and majesty.. But it's performance leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of your people: The Creature is kept chained, the tusks have been docked and filed down, it shows visible signs of whipping and physical abuse around it's legs and around the eyes and rear-end.

The Changeling Ring master is questioned on his techniques, "We distract the parents using pit traps, fire, and riders on horse back before we rope and steal away the Calves, now, the calves are obviously quite large and spirited- so we have to train them through the use of whips, irons, and chains or else they simply refuse to listen to us. We've tried breeding them obviously, but such magnificent creatures can live for hundreds of years and naturally breed slowly. The entire process is quite expensive and time consuming, but we find the end results are worth it." The Changelings slithers and extends a wiggling mass that turns into a hand and arm so he may tip his hat.

The Manticore Tribe's culture is quite explicitly and graphically "bat shit crazy" by your own people standards: They are ruled by a queen whom will only be replaced once she is assassinated and if she dies of natural causes then their entire nation enters into a brawl of blood, carnage, treachery and mayhem to decide a victor.... and your people have had the Honor of experience this a few times and have always thought to themselves, "There has to be a better way."

>+Cultural Development: Combat Sports invented: Wrestling, Boxing,
>Combat Sports are sports that pit two combatants against one another in a non-lethal situation for glory, entertainment, and rowdy fun: Wrestling is currently the most popular one as it can be translated over to cross-species matches; it being PARTICULARLY exciting to watch entire teams of Gorgons attempt to wrestle a single Cyclopean Athlete into submission. Boxing however is still respected on a species-specific circus: Gorgons fight gorgons, Cyclopes fight Gorgons- but either way, the two sports have exploded in popularity seemingly over night and all across your great civilization public combat sport matches are taking place in public squares with gambling, drink, in-between entertainment and after parties usually held at Public baths for Athletes and attendants a like to wind down and relax from such exciting events.

>>38545908

>>38545908
If it is a thing then probably one of the few examples of public lynching, I can't imagine any crime being seen as more heinous, since the ONLY way you're going to want to rape somebody given how free with love Cyclops are as a rule, is if you're getting off on the helplessness and victimization you're causing.

Hey guys have we invented printing press or chinese/japanese style wood block printing?

I only ask cause I was developing a new Type Face/letters for Island Cyclopean. based off of carving into wood.

Its Bold and Brash, and suits red. A typeface that'd make Sun God Proud.

>>38545908
Probably. But it's bound to be a lot less common among the cyclops given there very liberal attitudes toward sex and generally peaceful nature.

>>38545971

no, but I think we're advanced enough to try now.

>>38545908

Cyclops aren't violent almost as a rule, I assume that we look like the Trap cyclops OP likes posting for the majority of our life and then only go athletic but kinda feminine muscles or tits after 40 or so.

If rape is a thing, it's the same reason as murder, which means there is something wrong with that person and they are promptly shown that while Cyclops are peaceful, angry ones are no joking matter and why no sane civilization would want to fight them.

The Parrats. But that said a lot of the parrat murdering was done by our then Recent Gorgon immigrants.

>>38546086

They have to be way worse than the Manticore tribe for that.

And even still, the Cyclops as a whole will cry as they fight and mourn for months on end at the very idea of having to kill someone.

and everyone that knows the Island Cyclops as a people will utterly and completely hate the people responsible.

>Event Roll 57/100
>Neither beneficial or disadvantageous.

>Akalade has Confiscated the Observatory: He is using it as his own personal Study.

It might have seemed predictable or maybe this is catching the Sage council by complete surprise, but Akalade has "confiscated" the Observatory. He did not do this through force or anything like that; he simply isn't answering to the outside world and has been politely turning away any attendance or admission from outsiders. The Observatory is not just some "telescope on a hill"- the observatory operates on the level of a small town and is fed with food and supplies by the neighboring communities on the mountain and within the neighboring province of Mycea's grove.

Akalade has staffed his observatory with many Moon-touched Cyclopes, Two-headed Cyclopes, as well as numerous other perfectly normal Cyclopes whom assist him with his mysteries and obscure work; which he seems to have feverishly begun as soon as his Bell-mana Forge arrived and a copy of the weeping Sages texts.

Akalade has also invested and further made personal upgrades to the Observatory including: A spherical glass-shaped "dome" construction that is called a "green house" that was made using both magic and technical skill to his own specifications and houses an air-tight controlled environment containing numerous plants and fungi. A large, rotating, hanging, public sculpture of sorts..? It is made out of Metal and seems to support many hanging orbs of various size on rings that freely rotate and spin.. some sort of Magical construction? Numerous constructions and renovations have been made within as well, but are not within the public eye to see.

Akalade also seems to be trading and accepting the passage of Changeling Merchants- some of which are all together quite sketchy- as they bring forth and unload carts of mysterious origin and content.

I mean, probably not BAD either, but we could ask him to at least release any findings he has.

But he's a cool dude. I'm sure he has his reasons.

I, personally, think we should just tell Akalade that we trust him and are fine with this, but that we want him to be careful.

>>38546508
Also we should ask him to keep us updated on this stuff.

Maybe he can show us how to make Green houses- I bet the southerners would love those

>>38546503

I mean we still gave him the pod as reward for lending us his starship.
I'm a little worried he's either trying to make a new starship, or call his friends either to say "Hey come on down here its fine" or "Hey I'm being au natural, and its awesome and you guys suck" about it.

>>38546401
We should tell him that this place isn't meant for him alone. It's to help all those with an interest to better understand the heavens and he should be sharing his discoveries with us rather than locking them away.

>>38546528

we could reverse-engineer it without bothering him. our architects are fairly competent IIRC.

I think it's kinda cute how are people by and far enjoy fighting, but hate hurting people.

>>38546574
adding to the list btw.

But I'm on board with just letting him do stuff.

>>38546598
The way I think it works is Cyclops pretty much embody the morality of "Is everyone enjoying themselves? Yes? Is anybody going to be permanently harmed by this? No? Not ruining anybody else's good time right? Good! Have fun."

>>38546598
Fighting is a form of physical motion turned towards a purpose- it doesn't have to be purely to inflict harm. The same force that can break bones can also be used to turn aside blows

>Roll 75/100
>Happy roll: 75. +Long time running, +Strong Written Culture.

Bamboo Scrolls and Clay Tablets are the norm in terms of written text and documented written word; the process can be long, but people essentially just write in ink with hand or they inscribe something in soft clay- The irony though is that your people have been inscribing and carving glyphs and messages into metal for hundreds, possibly even a thousand years and no one has made the leap to just dip it in ink and use it to print words.

>+Ink Printing Technique Invented: Metal Print, ink. Metal Print, burn.
>Extremely popular texts are documented and etched in Metal; these metal pages are ingrained and forged with grooves so that they can be filled with ink and then applied to Bamboo Scrolls and Textiles. Variations on these prints can also be made for BURNING text into bamboo scrolls- it's cheaper, but produces a less quality good. These can also be made into TILES or STAMPS that can be used to make customized texts and panels for printing.

>+Dramatic Increase in literacy and information.
>Printing techniques allow things such as farmers almanacs, text books, sheet music, bestiarys and journals to be easily produced en masse. This has lead to MANY more public assemblies, schools, and budding institutions to be better equipped to document and teach more standardized and realiable information as you understand it.

>+Cultural Innovation: Public postings.
>Due to your Cultures societal value on public access and sharing of information; one of the first things someone made once they got a complete collection of printing stamps was a Newspaper. Newspapers started out as a kind of "cult" activity where businesses and cults would produce fliers to send to their customers and members, but the practice has fallen within the hands of the Sage council and they now post on a bi-weekly basis important news and updates at public forums for those who have missed it.

The Cyclopes assisting with Akalade's mission are not exactly.. "discreet"? They trust Akalade and he is of course their friend and they would never betray him and they would never betray their own people, so this creates a complicated personal situation.
Most of the information you pick up is naturally from the Workers and Assistance when they go out of town for a drink or to keep up appearances back at home; keen and enthusiastic on talking great lengths on their important garden work, how much their learning about the heavens and the stars- Akalade is quite keen on mapping and studying them. You find out that large Structure outside is in fact a mechanical -accurate- mobile diagram of your Solar system which mirrors and maps the movements of the celestial bodies.

>The Cosmic Snake and Hydra Mother on the God of Snakes minor arcana card.
>The SUn on the God of Eyes card
>Mycea on the God of Mushrooms card
>Great Progenitor on the God of Reefs Card

That frees up 4 major arcana for the things in >>38547588

Is there any notable Merfolk individual we could put on a card?

Man, I know that the Manticore Gorgons see us as agents of life and growth, a beautiful people to represent the half of the cycle they do not, and the Dinosaurs see us as a beautiful and strong but very peaceful people that should not be trifled with, but I wonder how the "Average" Gorgon over the centuries / millennia has come to see us, back from the first slaves, to the immigrants, to the modern "Average" non-native gorgon thinks of us.

>Akalade's Roll 89/100
>Akalade manages to miraculously save himself.

It all happens rather quickly: A handful of your Craftsmen and Sages just wanted to find out how Akalade had made the glass, but they were to bashful or embarassed to simply ask Akalade how he had done it and none of the Workers themselves understood the exact process. Akalade had held their hand during the construction and took advantage of a complex process of expanding and heating Glass in real time with the use of both magic and technical skill; the end result was a hexagonal styled dome of incredibly durable and resistant glass.

One of your Sages though tries to wiggle off a tile from the green house ceiling.
Akalade however is inside; quietly dusting off his hands on his Apron while waving over to the Sage, "Oh, hello! I've been mean- Wait, what are you do-"

Akalade is cut off.
Both figuratively and literally.

The Sage accidentally contracts the Glass Tile and it falls loose from the ceiling and it falls down; Akalade manages to notice, but unfortunately not in time.
Akalade is cut in half: his upper body does a brief spin before the upper half falls on it's back and his lower half simply slumps over where it stood.
"O-oh no" Is the last thing he says before he immediately succumbs to shock.

You are not the lone witnesses though: Several Changelings had been carting off some gardening supplies and they immediately drop everything to respond. They throw off their robes and reveal their featureless chalk-white bodies and stark black ringed eyes: Their bodies melt and jump forth like water to immediately mold and wrap around Akalade's two halves.

They shape and recombine themselves into the missing halves; Akalade's body slumped over unconscious on his Changeling legs. The Changeling fused to Akalade's lower half shouts, "MEDICINE. NOW. FIX. QUICK. THIS UNCOMFORTABLE."

You have 1 turn to try and Save Akalade before the Changelings are unable to support him and he dies.

I'd imagine Merfolk would be depicted directly on the child, farmer, hunter, and god/constelation cards of the Reefs.

Cyclops obviously for Eyes. Gorgons for Serpents, Mycea and the flora and fauna who live in her Forest for Mushrooms.

I have a question.

Do we even have armor researched beyond leather?

>Save Akalade
>Roll 16/20
>Above Average Success.

Everyone single Cyclopes immediately drops whatever is they were doing and a small crowd of them in unison: Scoop of Akalade as gently as possible and proceed to rush her over to Mycea's Grove to directly hand her off to Mycea and what little Mana flow remains in the province.
It is a trip that would normally take a few days, but due to the emergency and expediency of this issue you managed to find Mycea as she's met you in the middle of your Journey and has come out of her way to help.

She had literally jogged over in her Giantess form, "Oh no, oh no, oh god- what have you children done. Oh my goodness, oh this is bad- this is very bad." She stutters a little and gets down onto her knees. "Okay, okay, I can fix this- I can fix this; I'll fuse her back- Him, I'll fuse him back together and we'll give him a nice long Mana dip and he should be fine." Mycea lets out a long sigh, rolls her shoulders, and spreads her palms open. "Okay, Changelings- let him go."

The Changelings quickly wiggle off and mold back into humanoid forms; spitting up blood and being handed blankets while everyone else watches Mycea do her work.
The Two halves immediately start pouring their "contents", but Mycea is quick to work her magic: living, bending, vegetation and fungal growth sprout and germinate from her hands to act as bonding, stitching, and slowly pulling the two halves of Akalade together. Sealing wounds, rejoining organs, closing up the cuts and creating a near perfect fusion of the two pieces.
"Alrighty- That was super important; wouldn't want the two halves growing into two Akalades, would you?" She gives a Nervous laugh before wiping off her brow.

"Okay, bath time."

Hell, the reason the staff was made like this was so whenever the rings hit each other and made sound, it scared off the insects on the ground so the monk / priest didn't step on them and prematurely end their life.

Mycea holding now carefully holding Akalade in one hand; grows and draws a fungal handled knife from her open palm which she uses to cut open her palm and pour down bleeding, glowing, fresh, brightly luminescent mana from the open wound and down onto Akalade's unconscious little body.

She's careful to cup her hand so that the Mana actively pools and Akalade is immersed within it; His body convulsing, veins and muscle visibly flexing through the skin as he wriths and squirms in discomfort and pain. Mycea coo's and shooshes, "No, no, no, Come on little Akalade- you need to let it in there." The Mana bubbles up and the wound starts to fizz and steam from it cleaning itself and reverting back to the "default" Akalade's dna had prescribed.

A Few Weeks of intense bed-side care Akalade finally wakes up in his Bed within his Observatory surrounded by very Guilty looking Cyclopes and a small Mycea shoot. Everyone feels super awkward and responsible, but in reality Akalade is mostly just groggy and his intestines are finally working properly so he has wicked terrible gas and really just wants everyone to leave so he can stop embarrassing himself.

He's fed some decent food and allowed to go to the bathroom by himself. All he really asks is when he can get back to his work.

>... do elves reproduce by Binary fission? shit that would explain a lot.
No.
If Akalade had just been dunked into a Mana bath without sowing or fusing his two halves together he would have regenerate into two seperate twins/clones of himself because Mana doesn't discriminate and the pieces were large and whole enough to do so.

His recovery also would have been much longer as producing two seperate bodies from one -even with mana- would put an enormous amount of physical stress on his body and leave both his "twins" in an atrophied state for months 'till he was re-nourished.

Anyway, back to business: >>38548853
