Hate to say this, but the ball's in your court, Vox.

I for one don't mind the big posts. If I did, would I be making some myself? tongue

Now, here's a question I thought of that I'll feel pretty stupid if there was already an answer for and I missed it: How long ago was the cataclysm?

So now that I'm back from work, time to catch up in-

The caves surrounding it will allow us to grow plentiful crops of Plump Helmets.
plentiful crops of Plump Helmets.
Plump Helmets.

Mein Gott, now we're all going to have fun.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I was going to ask about an idea for an ability of sorts for Eye that I thought up. Basically the ability for him to "scan" the mind of whoever he's possessing in order to learn some of the skills they know almost instantly, but it costs faith to do so.

Does that sound fair?

If its his own people he wouldnt need to expend faith. Probably not even for outside mortals. Other Scions it would require faith for.

http://www.d20srd.org/extras/d20spellfilter/

Thats the dnd 3.5 spell filter. Anything that crops up in spell levels 1,2, and 3 are things they can do without paying faith. Things in 4 would also be possible if it relates to the scions divine spheres.

As for time: A few years since the very end. Over a decade since the Broken Sky began to form and tribes formed from bands of survivors. A tribe may be anywhere from almost 20 years old to newly formed, of course the survivors that founded it may have been a clan for far longer. As an example: A tribe of elves might only be 3 years old, having finally escaped the seemingly endless cataclysm war, but it might be founded by the remnants of a 300 year old elven village.

Well, I already put the limitation that he can only possess his own followers anyway, and thus can't possess other Scions or even their followers. (Though thinking about it, maybe that's something I can have him try by spending faith...)

Plus, I'm talking about what would basically be an instant expert button. (So long as the person he's possessing is an expert at the task.) That seemed like something that could use a balance factor, at least to me.

Is it ok if my regeneration power can heal brain damage that members of my tribe have? It's kinda vital for my current intro idea but that can change if it's against rules or something.

EDIT: Maybe also change the name of The Dead tribes people. I find it problematic that the only thing separating 85% of my tribe and death is a capital letter.

How about "The Necrons"? How about "The Mortuum"? 'Mortuum' is Latin, and basically means 'dead'. And it has a nice ring to it, I think.

Also, I'll now be waiting on Shadowbell. I'm pretty patient though, so no rush.

I dont mind the name change. I can note on the Recruit page that both names are used for the tribe.

And i shouldnt be suprised, considering how striking a name it is. Although from the page I cannot pin down exactly how his sky is as broken as mine (since mine has a world in it) but, regardless, i doubt it shall be an issue.

If you need to you can always change it to "Broken World"

Tribe name: The Teristan

Culture Semi-nomadic something of a cross between Celtic and Plains Indian. Technically they have two villages. The Summer villageis established as a trade spot and to work on various arts and crafts. It's also there for foaling season It's near a mountain that is a source of iron ore, the entrance of which is kept carefully concealed. It was recently raided and plundered which is why the Elders called for a protector. During autumn the tribe travels south with it's herd of buffalo and horses to the Winter village where slaughtering and skinning is done, then back north during the spring. Goblins do most of the herding and Kom most of the metal working with the other races in subordinate roles although there's no hard and firm caste system, it's quite possible for a non Goblin or human to rise and some humans herd and vice versa for smithing.

Tech level: Early Iron Age.

My carefully calculated and drawn out plan of "telegraph the first miracle" has worked perfectly... *rubs hands together*

Although I wasnt expecting said miracle to be plant-related.

You know, thinking about it, we should probably figure out where the different tribes are, and who's near who, and other stuff like that.

@Vox: To Florine's (Shadowbell's) village. In fact, that's basically where almost everyone is headed.

Where is Shadowbell? It's been a few days now.

@Falkon: Well let's see, based on what we've posted in relation to Shadowbell...

I'm to the West, and a little North of Shadowbell.
Wikkit is North-West of Shadowbell, putting him somewhere North of me.
Savato is also somewhere to the West of Shadowbell, according to his post.
Bstarman is somewhere to the East of Shadowbell, according to the forest being on their right, and said forest being on the North side of Shadowbell's village.

Falkon, you yourself implied that there's some mountains inbetween your village and Shadowbell's, but you didn't seem to specify which direction that was.

Vox's position is unclear, besides "Somewhere up North". Wikkit implied in one of his posts that Vox's village was a two days journey from his.

At least, this is what I've gathered so far, unless I got something wrong.

First off, I pronounce it puh-HEY-can.

Secondly, I just threw out that "2 Days" figure out of nowhere. Apparently Godstonia is only about the size of Australia (According to Mr. Thorn), so a 2 day journey may be feasible, but not all that much.

@Wikkit: If you have it so the guy who said that meant "two days by foot" the whole time, that might make more sense.
