[Morgaz]

Morgaz's diplomat bows graciously. "Of course. Such considerations are of primacy. Morgaz bids you a fond farewell." [Morgaz's ambassador seemed relatively pleased with the exchange. You may build an embassy next turn for 1 action slot.]

>>GM note: I will be updating later tonight due to some outstanding life considerations.

1. The war is finally over, we may finally [demobilize].

2. Food has become scarce since the war began. Perhaps it is time to [upgrade] our [farms].

3. Convert the town of [Moel] into a military base for better military unit production.

Zed's breathing was heavy as he reached the final step, after a short pause he walked past the black archway lead outside.

He shielded his eyes with a wrinkled hand as the morning sun greeted him warmly. He still wasn't used to that, apart of him knew he never would.

Two young men bowed as Zed began to make his way down the ziggurate. After about two minutes of methodical decent another pair of men once again, bowed.

"Oh get up for the sake of the nine." They were quick to obey, their dirty red robes hung loosely from their thing frames. "You are to search for the blood thirsty strangers of the surface. One will go north, the other west. Pack light, and make haste!" "Yes master Zed."

The two newly appointed emissaries were quick to depart.

[Send two emissaries, one north and another west. This is a free action as I understand it, yes?]

>>11432

An emissary from the south is heralded. A broodling comes from the ground to heed them. "Hello traveler, welcome to The Brood, and how may I help you today?"

>>11432

[GM: All diplomacy not involving resource exchange is free and can be done with impunity, correct]

>>11435

((Red what resources/tech/currency/pop do I take from the now defeated Chaos?))

>>11434

The ragged man didn't say anything towards the creature for some time, picking his words 'carefully'. "My name Violac. What is yours?"

>>11437

"I don't have a name, I am simply a drone and a facet for The Broodmother," the broodling says without any real thought to it. "There are some humans that live within the brood. I'm fairly sure they still use names."

>>11438

He raises an eyebrow to this reply, despite his best efforts otherwise. "Who is Broodmother? She birthed you?" He grew closer to the creature, curiosity getting the best of him. "What are you made of? How many human slaves do you keep?"

>>11439

"So many questions. Would you like to come inside?" The broodling motions to the hole in the ground before continuing. "You're a new group to Soren I presume. The Broodmother is the queen of the hive, yes, but she is also the conceptual connection between all members of the brood. I'm the broodmother as much as any other member of the hive. She does have a material body, but it is hidden well away through many many chambers. I'm made of all the essentials that other species are made of." The broodling flexes their four arms. "Slaves? No. Humans have become a part of my hive. So did some killer apes, but I'm not sure how intelligent they actually are."

>>11440

Violac follows, allowing the creature to speak. Some words it used he didn't quite understand, but he was sure not to show that. "New to..surface as most call it? Have lived within mountains for..centuries? See you live in caves too" The thin man ducks a lower ceiling as they continue, a smile creeping across his narrow face at the thought of other cave dwellers. He watches as the thing moves four arms at once. " Your mother is you too, I see… And these humans…? They come from caves too yes?" He rubbed his nose our of habit, the darkness feeling comforting almost. " Who is your god? They are dead like the others yes?"

>>11428

Star Colonel Alaric Kessler, decapitated another skeletal soldier. He and his men were stuck on the walls, guarding the entrance to the pulse tower. The battle was going poorly, the elves were selling themselves dearly to defend the city, but they were slowly being overwhelmed. Zombie rocs dove at the troops in the towers, reaving them and sending them plummeting to an ignomius doom. Airships blasted at them with cannons from the skies, scattering men in giblets of meat and bone.

Indeed the pulse tower, jury rigged by some enterprising mages, was nearly the only thing holding the defense together. It shot out astral energy again and again, scything through troops, ships and even the agile rocs themselves. He looked up in time to see it discharge another purple-blue lance of energy, ripping an airship in twain as it fell to earth. It was a glorious sight, if futile. For every elf new the battle was lost. They were too few to combat the legion of the undead at their door, and they were warned too late. Still every minute they endured was another minute of time they saved for everyone else.

Alaric looked back down to the corridor that was his field of battle. More skeletons, and several zombies, some in elven armor. Fallen friends and allies. He swung his sword again as the closed, slashing into a zombie's head, and kicking it back, catching a skeleton's bloodied axe on his shield before he bashed it away and slashed it from clavicle to pelvis, felling it.

Hack, slash, block, parry, hack, slash block, parry, hack, slash, block, parry. That became his entire world as his men slowly fell, one by one under the ever surging weight of the treacherous undead horde. He shoed a zombie child off his blade, during a lull in the combat and heard something off. There was a keening note coming from the pulse tower. That couldn't be good. Thinking quickly he urged his men out of the tower base and into the city itself. He guessed correctly as not more than thirty second slater the tower detonated, killing the roc trying to get into it.

"Alright boys, that was the last real defensive option for the city that just blew up. This place is going to fall, we need to secure as much time for any civilians to escape as possible. Who ready to make some noise?" he queried. He lead his soldiers to one of the markets, where they saw a grizzly scene.

Inside the market there were zombies, skeletons and necromancers. Alaric felt vaguely ill and he saw what was once a former elven woman's jaw open impossibly wide and crunch down into the face and head of her child, even as the poor boy was screaming and crying at her. Next to that pitiful scene was an elven shop keep pinned to the wall of his own shops with iron knives, as skeleton threw knives at the defenseless man, laughing and jeering at his pain. Further down a necromancer in his tattered black robes could be seen, clearly flaying an elven woman alive in some sort of ritual with a black knife. He chants and he does so and her blood reaches the ground black as night and dark as sin.

Alaric takes all this in at a glance in but a second, and utters one word, in a voice colder than the undeath come to claim his home, "Charge"

————————————————–

>>11442

Alaric hurt, his left arm was chained to right leg. His right arm's stump was still dripping blood, and the burns on what was left of his left leg stung. The fucking skeletons hadn't seen fit to bind or treat his wounds, and now they're making him stand for this farce of a trial. They blathered on and on about how the leadership of the Imperium sacrificed their people for eldritch power, and endangered everyone with its use. The condemned him and his actions of defending the city as "Killing, wounding and delaying of the necessary peacekeeping forces to keep the people of the Stella Imperium safe from their own leadership." Alaric spat at that, and got his leg kicked out from under him by a guard for his trouble. Once they were done breaking his ribs with their feet, he was dragged back up to a standing position.

The "judge" glared down at him and said, "We the people of the righteous and just Necro Imperialis, do find you Alaric Kessler, guilty of all charges. However all is not lost for you astral touched monster, repent you ways and renounce the spirits you venerate, and we in our benevolence may raise you after your execution, to be a worker in our grand empire."

Alaric just looked back at the "man" who presumed to judge not only him but his entire race. "You know nothing skeleton, our magic was harmless and peaceful, you attacked us lie the treacherous snakes you are, urk", Alaric stopped as a sword was run through him from behind at the judges signal, then a second, and a third. Alaric despite blood coming up from his mouth had enough left to say one word as his left arms raised itself into a fist and pounded his chest over his heart, "Nova."

The courtroom shook as the astral energy inherent in his body detonated, taking the 3 guards with him in a purple explosion of power. The "judge" simply looked at the scorched marks of the makeshift courtroom and declared, "Next case!"

Angels wearing helmets to resist mind reading arrive at every coalition member and the undead speaking only to their leader once privacy had been established to invite their leaders to a gathering of nations at the gnome air city as neutral ground where The Treaty and its points will be discussed as well as other important points concerning the nations of soren and Morgaz will join us and offer psionic scattering equipment to ensure that no unwelcome parties may listen in or read the minds of the leaders, you are of course welcome to bring your own measures against mind reading. One guard may accompany a leader or your representative if you so chose to send someone in your place, this is a matter of the highest importance in these turbulent times so security is important so we ask you do not release the nature of this gathering or who else will be in the meeting.

(respond parties invited that will be joining)

[Morgaz]

Morgaz arrives on time with another dragon. Both of them are huge, but Morgaz himself lacks any armor aside from a set of glowing bangles. He has massive visible scars that range up and down his torso, a milky white eye. The second dragon stays in a circling pattern around the area but is visible. Morgaz rubs his remaining good eye and yawns, then he begins. "Yes, I am of course honored to be met by the other great nations. I trust these…things won't be needed." [he shakes one of the bangles]

The Pure Heart of The Chosen of Tiamat

The Vilon Field Commanders after depositing the survivors onto the dwarven airships find the exhausted warmaster, seeing her only as a ragged tattooed little girl who seemed to have a mantle of considerable power about her on their way back to shezeb and tracks indicating to have been heading westward. they brought her before Him and sensing the conflicting natures within her decides that she could be saved and her inner goodness prevail within her. After many hours of struggle to sever the magical bonds and purify the malicious spell on her she appears little different still bearing the strange tattoos but her aura that was so malevolent is now almost motherly in its light "Have her cleaned up Octavia, treat her gently"

When she is brought forthe clean as the day she came into this world and dressed in finery she explains her experiences of the past as Warmaster of Chaos and tears fall down as she expresses her gratefulness to The Throne and every Vilon looking on is visibly moved.

"Tiamat's chosen am I still and the Great Mother is happy for this one to have found her way" she lowers herself onto her knees and bows "Please allow me to follow you, I know the Great Mother will look well on our match. The Tome of Tiamat is all that I require to raise good children for you" She turns the pages reading words in some forgotten language and three kirins appear, tame as new born kittens to their mother and the curious vilon any other onlooker can see their strength and appreciate her powers. "You will be safe here, pure as you are and possessing such a gentle and caring soul. Turbulent times are ahead so I may rely on you and your children, forgive me." Tears flowing freely from every pretty vilonian face overcome with happiness at such magnanimity.

>>11441

"Well, they aren't exactly caves. While a lot are reinforced from stone I understand the mistake. They're really burrows from digging. Humans are the most common species really. They aren't really honed into magic and the like. Religion has always been an interesting thing for us. Originally The Broodmother was in a sense, our god, but now we've been studying the ancients. Not entirely sure about their god, but we know that they were powerful."

>>11444

Noticing the angel's arrival, the broodling walks the cave-dweller back to the entrance and tells them to depart.

A broodling arrives to the meeting accompanied by "The Experiment". The Experiment follows closely behind the intermediary as they approach the group. "I hope I have arrived on time, I was showing guests around our hive. I imagine The Broodmother will be channeling herself through me later in the meeting. I will answer for the brood to the best of my ability until that time."

The Throne itself has appeared floating and dim light coming off its golden surface with Octavia looking over the meeting point above them. "I think not, but the option will put others at ease and if there possible I want everyone to feel the issues can be discussed without reservation."

>>11447

"Very well, give her my welcome in advance. I trust that we will all find some answers and protections are available if you choose. Perhaps we can arrange for a tour of the place while we wait for the rest?"

>>11448

"Would you show us around your city while we wait? The others please direct to join us in time"

>>11447

>>11450

[Morgaz]

Morgaz visible sneers and mutters to himself at the sight of The Brood. You didn't think dragons could mutter, but apparently they can.

Suddenly, he straightens up and his eyes go wide when he views the experiment.

He crosses over to the experiment and leans in.

He starts low, but builds in volume. "This one… seems to make constantly bad errors in judgement. I've seen Mericon Blood Magic before. This is a hack job worthy of a rank strain lord, but it is such a thing. Tell me insect, do you know what you are doing?"

>>11447

Violac listened, the thing rattle on about their fake caves. Another thing, it seems that humans are apparently everywhere on the surface, and that they are blunt to the ways of magic. The mention of ancients peaks his interest however before he has time to ask…

A woman with wings appears, Violac rubs his eyes in disbelief. His host begins to lead him to the exit of their fake caves and says something..He doesn't pay attention. Maybe humans can move up in the space above…does that mean they would live there? Violac climbs higher and waits for what seems about an hour, before watching the human fly away- somewhere to the west. His jaw hangs in disbelief for a good while. A woman that flies.

He had much to tell.

>>11451

>>11453

[Morgaz]

He goes on, flippantly ignorant the rebuttal. "The archives…are pretty clear about this." He pauses. "Every time you use it you run the risk of calling those things here. It's their method. Theirs. Not ours. Every time you use it it's like trying to light a fire with the wind against you." He pauses again. "Or, to use a particularly valid humanoid expression, to piss against the wind."

He goes quiet and tilts his head toward The Chair. "You know this one tried to dominate one of my ambassadors, yes? It's the reason why we are wearing this atrocious damnable jewelry. Do you think I like this garish trash? I assure you, I don't. And now it stumbles in here with a …some sort of clown-freak horror that would be best reserved for a lower plane or some damnable god of the jesters." He rolls his eyes.

After the snide remarks, Morgaz seems to go silent after this and returns to his original position.

>>11450

"A tour would be nice, however it seems I have pressing matters to tend to first," the broodling says to the angel before shifting attention to Morgaz. "Basic study has been put into the research and we are studying the scrolls we have. Information on it is minimal. I'm sure your knowledge and assistance would be accepted without hesitation. This reminds me, I carry a message. The Broodmother sends a thousand pardons for the previous discrepancies that occurred between us. An explanation is offered for the irreparable actions of the broodlings who have come to an end since the time of your emissary's visit. During the time of war on Chaos, we were pressed thin and The Broodmother began to destabilize in condition. The aggression that resulted was due to the hive mentality becoming malicious. It was an order sent to the wrong drones. Perhaps we can work past this terrible tragedy. Although we lack any more parts for you device, we can pay you what little currency that is in our coffer to better our relations. It is the hope of the brood that a mutual alliance between our nations may be sustained, and once again we give our greatest apologies." The broodling extends one of its four arms weakly, expecting rejection from the towering figure.

>>11453

"We have little knowledge of any such thing. We have found a way that our powers may impact the makeup of broodlings. This was simply an initial test to understand such functionality."

>>11451

>>11447

The Throne moves bodily to face the experiment

"Blood magic?, I wasn't aware you two had such interests. I thought it was produced by some deviant ape and a brood, I almost find it preferable that it isn't natural in creation, almost."

>>11455

[Morgaz]

Morgaz starts laughing to himself after he returns to his position. "This is totally ridiculous." He trails off, ignoring The Brood ambassador. "As for my interest in blood magic, it happens to be because I earned my doctorate in planar metaphysics nine decades ago. After awhile the theoreticals lead to metaphysics, and there's a rather large school of thought dealing with the properties of "Blood" magic, which is a relatively…vulgar term for a variety of "magic" with peculiar properties. After you study planar theory for about five minutes the issue of the Mericon swarms comes, hence blood magic. By the scales, I sometimes think I'm talking to plebians here." He turns to the chair. "You've seen enough nonsense around the planes, surely, to understand."

>>11444

Sigvar the Giant and a lone escort step onto the gnomish airship, and head to the meeting hall.

"Greetings. While the Republic represents itself here today, I want to be clear on one issue: The Republic protects the Republic and the peoples that inhabit it. We have no stake in the fight between the Stella Imperium and the Necro Imperialis, though we will sign the peace treaty if the Republic can go about it's business unmolested." The big man turns to Morgaz and his escort, bowing to them both* I am, however, very curious about what you have to say, your highness.

>>11450

The dockworkers mainly ignore you, moving on with carrying their cargo either to or from the ships in the docks.

>>11452

The vilon angel sees the emissary in fine robes, "A new nation among soren's folk?" Seeing him nod the winged woman seems to think but then decides on something "Well, like, if your leader can be suuuuuper careful and find her way to a flying city that way" the angel points towards the sky northwards "Then she can bring one guard and join the nation meeting. But no gossiping to anyone else promise?" She descends and stick out her pinkie making him pinkie swear "Bye bye!"

>>11457

The Broodmother takes full control of the broodling. "Morgaz, I have offered you my apology and am actively searching for the material you request without questioning your intents. The point of this meeting is to bring peace between nations, and I publicly admit to my momentary lack of control of my nation during your emissary's visit, but surely we can achieve some level of peace between our people, as intended by by this meeting."

>>11458

[Morgaz]

Morgaz registers the giant. He turns to him with his entire head but keeps his eyes focused on the experiment.

"Yes, it is very much as I have said. This plane is some damn fool errand from being obliterated into tiny pieces. The constant wars haven't helped matters."

Eventually Morgaz corrects his postures and stands at attention properly. He mutters again and continues himself "I swear if the council hadn't been so childish about their gems and other trash we'd be in a much better position right now." He visibly sighs, as only a dragon can.

>>11461

Morgaz looks at The Brood ambassador for a moment and clearly registers the statement. He snorts and rolls his eyes. "Yes yes, that's what they all say."

>>11457

"Yes, though one never likes to assume it might be 'that' magic and just a very very unfortunate natural catastrophe in reproduction. Still, the encounters of my travels did have recurrences such as this one and I find one falls much like the next, yet I had thought their prevalent research was in psionic energies rather then more fleshy manipulations."

>>11458

"Very well. I will have words on this issue with you later when the formal discussion begins when the point arises"

>>11462

>>11461

The Throne rises and falls to strike the ground with a thump

"The personal grievances of your two nations will be brought up in good time if there is more to say, and what others have to say and ask about it"

>>11462

>>11463

The broodling cringes at the sound of the thump, "It is what we mean, not just say. It seems this will be discussed later, anyways. Did you come across the rubicite you were searching for? I will be finding it shortly and want to make sure my search will not be moot."

>>11460

He just stares as she flies off, her skin was soft- almost unnaturally so. A minute passes before Violac begins his trek back to the capital. Much, much to tell indeed. Zed would be pleased.

And so the political process began, Violac informed a watcher of what he learned, whom passed it onto Zed one of the prophets closet advisers and former chieftain of their people. The information was met with little reaction.

"Very well. I shall depart immediately." The small figure made its way out of the sanctuary. Zed stood there wondering what was yet to come. Out of the corner of his eye the face of chaos winks. Or he could of sworn it had…

The small woman was easily missed among the coming and goings of the airship. It had taken a couple of minutes to convince the pilot that indeed, she had been invited to this gather.

With a light feet Hannah stepped onto the dock of the meeting hall. Her simple white cloak covered her short and thin frame. She dusted the filthy thing off a few times and pulled her hood back. Black hair covered her eyes, and a large burn scar covered her right cheek. A plain looking face looked out into the clouds before turning to the door.

Without a word she passed through, and gently shut the door behind her. A look of surprise flashed across her face as many alien things sat among the meeting hall. Hannah took her seat, and began watching…

>>11463

[Morgaz]

Morgaz smiles to himself. "If it would please…the chair …of the meeting…I will hold my commentary." He begins smirking to himself. You didn't know they could do that.

>>11466

A gnome flanked by two guards approaches the group. "Oh no, please your grace, please go on. Also, would you, or one of the others please tell me why there was apparently going to be a meeting in my city without my knowledge? I only learned about it because of complaints of your transport ships blocking the docking space for a recent shipment of Ioun by the Caritelli family." The gnome taps his foot while waiting. The gnome is average height, even for a gnome, with short cut black hair and light blue eyes. He wears a heavy purple suit and pants lined with fur and has a noticeable gold pocket watch.

>>11467

She leans forward a bit, trying to catch a glimpse at the little person. What strange creatures they were. "It is a meeting," She began, softly tracing a scarred finger on her knee "A meeting of nations, pink fashka."

>>11467

"Hmmm didnt you receive my memo?" The Throne rises and turns in a number of directions before spotting a large tablet rock with writing on it decorating the lawn outside the window >> http://pastebin.com/ZszHPQA3 "There it is my good fellow, no need to fret"

>>11467

[Morgaz]

Morgaz roars with laughter. "The traders! Ah, they have all the chutzpah…ah..if the lower orders only had their..confidence the world would be a free place." Morgaz wipes a tear from one of his eyes; apparently the pun and the gnome have really helped his mood.

>>11468

The broodling surveys the room. The number of people within had easily more than doubled in the time she had entered. She notices the cave dweller previously visiting her nation. and slides to a position behind her. "So you ended up here," she says, grinning. "The business I was attending to is just about finished for now. So you're here too? I assumed your people had yet to make a name for themselves in this sort of circle."

>>11444

A single skeleton shows up on a roc too small for anything other than a single rider. He is ushered into the hall and quietly introduces himself as Bill head of foreign relations and direct representative of the undead as a whole.

>>11444

As typical, the Dwarves send forth a skilled diplomat with some manner of basic guardian. Not that they had these in abundance, but there was a distinct courage in being an explorer or a diplomat, and this was one of those instances.

>>11471

She turned the chair to regard the strange voice. Her eyes sizing up the as they were called 'broodling'. "Yes I am here, and have heard of your being from the emissary." With a smooth motion she got to her feet, looking up at the four armed thing a bit closer, almost whispering. "You smell like blood four armed one."

She glanced to the side as two more things entered, one the remains of a man which walked upright. The other an alien a bit taller than the pink fashkas. She returned her attention to the broodling. "The walking remains smell like blood too…"

>>11465

The Throne moves over the crowd of people now inhabiting the hall, grand by the standards of its people it gives just enough room for the throne to maneuver and on his way to the head of the table he turns to greet the new leader "Welcome mon cher, my diplomat said another would come, and fate seems to have favored you to find your way here. There will be time for formal introduction but I am The Throne of The Dominion, and I have called this meeting to discuss the concerns of all Soren. By what may I call you?"

>>11475

She looks at the being on the throne, he was very handsome. "Hannah." She replies with a small bow, before returning her attention to the insect.

>>11474

"The stench of the once foul lands now clean," the broodling said, eyeing herself for blood stains. "And they," she motions to Bill, "are from Necro Imperialis. I'm fairly certain they're a prime topic of debate in tonight's discussion."

>>11468

"Yes I know that now, but I don't know who you represent." The gnome then gives a slight bow. "Doge Vasirinii DoJone, leader of this city of Vyriah."

>>11469

The Doge then turns to the Throne then points to the multiple other large rock tablets that decorate the lawn of the mansion it pointed at. (You fuckers never got a place, so I am saying you are still at the docks). "Also that isn't even my home, or the capital building. Your messenger tossed it on the Vesserini's lawn and they didn't notice."

"Now, is this everyone meeting?"

"Be seated across from the the lady and next to the seat Republic's Sigvar the Giant"

>>11473

The Throne rises for the entrance of the dwarven ambassador "Please take the seat to my right across from Morgaz if you please, though we are missing a certain member then we can begin in earnest"

>>11478

(Angels can fly and so can The Throne short stuff) "Well the architecture of other folk is strange to the vilon yours especially perhaps. Almost my good Doge, but if he is much tardier we will begin shortly"

>>11478

Greetings young gnome leader. Depending on today's outcome I am very interested in meeting with you after this meeting. I believe our nation's could have a beautify trading partnership. But for now I must take my seat and await today's proceedings.

>>11477

"You have pleased the idol of murder, blood and terror…as well as the one of chaos." She attempts to touch the creatures torso if allowed to. "You have my thanks."

>>11478

She approaches the little one. "I represent my people, let them be known as Santerians…" She crouches as to be at eye level. "My name is Hannah, let this not be seen as an insult, but your kind remind me of one of the beasts we used to fight against in the underground." A small smile creeps on her pale face, the first since she had arrived.

>>11483

Unsure how to react, the broodling allows her torso to be touched. "You're… you're welcome." The broodling then proceeds to take a seat adjacent to Sigvar the Giant.

>>11428

Name: The Lost

Race: Elves

Color: Blue with brown backing

Fluff : The Lost are the last fragments of the once proud Stella Imperium. Their cities sacked, their labs destroyed, their people tortured and killed. They are all that's left. The Dwarves and Dominion, who came too late to aid in the battle, came in and swept them away even as the Necro Imperialis butchered scores more under their heel in a fit of overzealous rage and fury. Every elf remembers that day.

The astral light inborn in every elf still burns, but the principals of their magic has, shifted. Where once it was artful and filled with beauty, it is now cold and Spartan. Where once the luminous purple light of the astral plain was clearly apparent in all who saw and elf cast, the color and aura are hidden and subdued. Less powerful perhaps, even likely, but so much harder to detect by an order of magnitude. Indeed their magic and eyes give off no light or warmth or beauty anymore, it just is.

Government Type: Elder Council, who answer to the dwarf king alone. His nobles can go sit on an iron spike.

Economy Type: Capitalism as per our short bearded friends.

Religion: The star spirits are still venerated by the lost, but the open worship and asking of questions has ceased. The stars did not or could not help them then, and are unlikely too now. The elves must help themselves first.

"Your going to have to wait a bit longer as the angelic bastard decided to invade someone's home."

>>11483

"You must be talking about goblins. Annoying bastards those, like dark places and explosives. Also don't like paying."

>>11484

"The first time I heard I was hosting was when the others showed up."

"Now then, would you people stop invading these poor people's home before I have to remove you from my lands for breaking and entering? I have heard my set-up for you all is ready. Follow me." The Doge begins walking, and more guards start piling in.

A clap seems to come from The Throne trying to gain the attention of the lords and ladies of the table. "First let me congratulate you that have come for arriving and morgaz for the protections he has offered to make available. Now if we may formally introduce ourselves and then the guest on my left would be so kind to speak of 'instability' in the realm." A faint image of a man in princely garb atop the throne seems to manifest with the clap looking quite pleased "I am The Throne of The Dominion, Overlord of the Vilon"

>MISSED ALOT OF SHIT

>GETTING ALOT OF SHIT DONE

>+15 ACTIONS

1-3- It is at a time when our path comes to an end. Our trek has come to a crossroads, a sign pointing to two directions. Left and right– such simplicity. Such a way that we..in all of our greatness as observed by how far we have come…may defy it. We have strived against fate and reality itself, our struggles to leave this wretched life and ascend to a higher form of conciousness, to achieve true happiness. The life of myconkind is hell, and our only escape was the dream world. Such determination across an entire species…it shall be honored on this day. For on this day, we shall defy the ground. We have forged a way to manipulate our own flesh and soul, a step towards ascension.

Today, we go -UP-

(Begin researching/building [Spore Ships]– giant floating structures composed of engineered fungus, iron and wood; all powered by the Meld. They essentially resemble giant air balloons– with inflated and meld-enchanted fungus working as the balloon. The fungus is designed to, by command via telepathy from the pilots, release a large amount of Myconid spores over a large area. These spores can range in various types chosen by the pilots– from standard reproduction spores to toxic miasma spores. The base of the ship, built with wood and iron, is used for transportation and "piloting"– the ship pilots itself but the meld engine requires atleast two Myconid engineers to maintain.)

4-6 - And with this step…we use it to bring forth an age of expansion. On this day, my kin, we finally leave our shelves. Such wisdom we have acquired, such greatness…it must be shown by our ability to survive out of our own habitats. We leave the brush and meet with the sun, and perhaps we will encounter outsiders on our way. We shall speak kind words and messages of neutrality to them..but when they try to fight us? We leave such brutality to the hands of the Withdrawn Ones.

(EXPAND. EXPAND EVERYWHERE! EXPAND NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST– EXPAND THE FUCKING DONG. Use a combination of spore ships and ground myconid to go full manifest destiny on everything. No restrictions on territory– go up the mountain if we need too)

7-9 - ….we are with drawn

we no meld

we kill for colony

is good

fun

fun

(Begin "training" more Withdrawn Myconid soldiers, creating a substantial defensive force. Allow for some Myconid to go through the process– and -force- any of our criminals to the process aswell)

10-13 - The time has come once more for the Meld to grant us its gifts– may our shamans be kind. Beezlebuffo The Wise speaks in his strange tounge, asking for the emergence of the supertoads– the children of Beelzebuffo. While the Wise One may be large and heeds only the words of the Sovereign…the Supertoads shall be our replacement for such primitive creatures like horses

(Begin improving the Summon Animals spells once more, using the "leftovers" of the megatoad Beelzebuffo to try and learn how to summon smaller supertoads– which are much more smaller and can be used as personal mounts. A substitute for horses)

14-15 - wall

wall

wall

walllll

(The Withdrawn want more defenses– so we will give them more defenses! Using Fungineering and our own spells, begin growing more defenses like the Briarthorn wall around any new territory we may have gained)

>>11487

She follows the little person, at an almost invading like close pace. "I've never heard of such things, I speak of the fashka. They are green, have hollow holes for eyes and walk around naked. The fashka throws stones, some as large as my head, but the sure sign that you face one is their child like laughter. And their hatred of water." She continues describing the beasts at length, including their lack of clothes and glowing green blood.

[Morgaz]

"Very well, let's go where the Doge has seating for…well, some of us. I am beyond the carriage of most of this."

[[GM: Everyone is led to the Doge's assigned area.]]

>>11493

The Doge leads them to an open air platform that looks to have been made to be a private garden. A table and chairs have been laid out, with enough seats on each side for every representative and then some. The Doge sits at the head of the table with his guards flanking behind him and says "So, what is this meeting about?"

>>11494

[Morgaz]

"Yes, so, as the chair was saying before we were so gracefully escorted by the Doge…"

"This mostly pertains to the basic substructure of our fine world, here. Specifically, my research seems to indicate it is…particularly unstable. That is to say, the peculiar qualities of this place are such that it seems to be extremely fragile. As more time goes on, the plane will begin to rip and tear more clearly, and I am unsure of the long term ramifications. The plane could simply bifurcate, or, it could atomize into a slurry. Several types of magic have a tendency to exacerbate this…issue. I have not established a way to solve the problem, but I saw…fit to let the other nations of the world know about the issue."

[Morgaz]

Morgaz continues. "Anyway, as I've said, the research is highly theoretical. Most of it is my original work; I am studied in such matters but I am devoid of…the knowledge of the council given their….reticence. My general analysis is that if another large bridge to this plane is established, something ….disagreeable will happen. However, there stands a chance that I am in error, and that the properties of this plane are…unique."

>>11495

>>11496

"If I might ask, o Dragon, what kind of magic poses such a threat to this world?

We have heard of such statements on the dangers of a magic before, but /that/ came from the Necro Imperialis.

However, your excellency has opted to warn us of this danger, rather than take actions into your own hands. For that, you can be assured we are grateful.

And if I may ask again, are there any current threats of bridges from another realm to this one?"

>>11497

[Morgaz]

Morgaz pauses for a moment. "Nearly every form of magic being deployed can form a bridge by overloading the local fabric. It would require nearly every race to stop using magic. As you can see, it is …unlikely."

[Morgaz]

Morgaz concludes. "With that I have nothing else to say. I must depart, as I have pressing matters of state to attend to." Morgaz departs the room at an even pace.

>>11499

>>11498

"Hold dragon!"

Whether or not the Dragon left, the Ambassedor would speak.

"Gentlemen, this is a grave news indeed.

So many of our fellow races have some degree of magical inclinedment. Indeed, beings such as Elf, Undead, and Angels are magical by their very nature even before practicing such an art?

This is a grave news indeed."

>>11500

>>11499

The Viceroy strikes to the heart of the matter, and thanks to Morgaz we few now know the truth of things as can be deciphered by perhaps the foremost expert alive. With these being the foremost reasons I called you all here I hope you appreciate the circumstances we live in and that should such become public is could cause mass panic, witch hunts and worse"

Hannah leans back in her seat, having long slipped of her boots and embraced the garden with her feet. The winged chameleon brought up some interesting ideas, but she held doubts that it would change anything. The heart was a fickle thing, that once set on something little could stop it lest is was torn from the chest.

"What does this change though?"

"Well there is surely some way to solve this problem. Adversely we may find that there is no singular solution, and that we are all just slowly awaiting the destruction of the plane. I suggest a research team be put together in neutral territory dedicated to solving this crisis."

>>11504

"Furthermore, a crusade against magic is not the solution here. As has been stated, several races rely on magic for existence. It is my belief that the ancients of this land found some way to sustain themselves despite magic use. It is for this reason I believe that the study of their ways be made the primary source of identifying whether these theoretic concepts are true."

>>11505

"I would like to close my statement by stating that Morgaz should be invited to said location to lead research, seeing as he clearly has made the most advancement in it. It is best that he assist us all in finding the solution as we assist him."

>>11507

"That would be the detachment. While I understand a portion of the meeting is to discuss the actions of the undead, I would like to state that they have informed me of a group of strange psi-users that seem to show violent tendencies towards the nation of Soren. It is absolutely key that these… Terrorists are stopped before any more harm is done. While I digress from the topic of the meeting, you must understand that such a faction would be detrimental to any research towards the salvation of the plane."

>>11506

"Though he has already left so his side can not be changed as of now, I believe you have antagonized him to the point where it would be smoother to provide him with the resources and talent to establish this team and find a more concrete theory to stabilizing this plane"

>>11509

"Such antagonism was not intentional, of course, and I have tried to make this clear. During war I was pushed into heavy mobilization which made control of the hive unstable. I have tried to make that clear to him. Regardless, the team should still be founded in attempting to discover the plane's unique properties. If he sees the study is successful he will hopefully return to assist in our cause."

>>11509

"Who says the chameleon wouldn't simply receive the gifts and provide your nothing in return? You place much faith in the flying black one."

>>11511

"That is the purpose of a neutral research center."

>>11512

She giggles softly and returns her attention to the garden.

"These arrangements and more we must prepare and work on together. The materials and experts to study and develop our own theory, and on the disturbing matter of this 'Detachment' mentioned by the Broodmother is concerning. I will call a recess here so that we can reconvene at a later date and begin preparations"

>Maybe we should each contribute at least one action to the research center next turn? as a simple, common stepping stone to begin

>>11431

[Brood]

>>You are demobilizing. It will take 4 turns for the Broodmother to feel better (or so). You will demobilize in 1 turn.

>>Set food stocks to Very Good+

>>You have conquered Chaos.

>>You are administrating a relatively large occupation space (100% of current territory). You will need to assign three [very strong] (or equivelent) units to the task.

Note: You have seized the following:

Buildings acquired: 1 (Iron) [Sustainable], Wood [Sustainable], Coal [Sustainable] (if stock exists, set to 2x)

Territory acquired: 8 Hex; 1 Town [Moen][Heavily Fortified]

Add technology: Urban Warfare [Simple]

Items acquired from the occupation: Chaos Prisoners [Massive – 3]; 20 Currency

Slaves [Lots]; Industry +1

Note: The Chaos Capital is totally ruined. You may attempt to rebuild it, but it will take some time. Over the course of three major battles any resources the city has remaining have been destroyed. You can also attempt to plunder the remains; this will take additional actions.

1. You begin the demobiliztion. The Brood from the battlefields begin to return home. [You will receive the appropriate population back next turn.]

2. You begin upgrading your farm networks. The Brood think they have figured out some better farming methodologies that can work in times of great stress or labor shortages. (Food 1/2)

3. You begin evicting the residents from the town and purifying it. The thing was heavily fortified before the war and the conversion is easy enough; you use your hordes of human slaves and prisoners to do the fine work. [Fortress 9/10]

[Patchwork]

1.2.3: The historian kills it and he pours through the first of the logs. The first is mostly a series of airship drill instructions and aerial maneuvers. (Revise techs: to [Aerial Navigation, Average])

The second mostly pertains to the first age of a world you've never even heard of. You discard it as it doesn't have any really useful information. The third is largely a series of stories about great “aeromancers”; you think you've got something here. (Add spell: Haste [Simple])(Add spell: Summon Air Elemental [Simple]) You think you've exhausted the scrolls of worth, frankly. (Remove scrolls)

>>11515

>where do we want to put it? I'm game to do so.

>>11388

[2702]

1. You begin working on a series of gliders. You suspect they will help you with…certain important things. (Research 3/6)

2. The first Spider Tank rolls out of the production facility. The facilities are having trouble with the metal and some of the components have been improvised, but it moves forward. The engineering crews cheer and report that future units will benefit from materials that can be alloyed. [Add technology: Improvised Elsian Proprietary Armor [Improvised])(Add unit: [player named unit][Very Strong+++][Armored]; (Set resource: Iron to [Strained])

3. The cloaking research manages to finish, barely. It should provide us with at least some capacity to avoid detection, but the engineers aren't too sure about scrying. Everything about this awful plane is broken and stupid, but it will provide us with the ability to build a cloaking defense network and also to improvise smaller backpack units. (Add technology: Cloaking [Very Simple])[[Meta: This will slow down the assault of opposition forces as their scouts will be unable to find you; more skill will slow it down more.]]

>>11402

[Air Dwarves]

1. You manage to rescue a [Massive; 5 pop] amount of Stella Imperialis citizens. [You may dictate what is to be done with them. This does not cost an action.][Set civil defense to: Very Simple]

2. And with war on the horizon, the need for fast and quickly produce metal skyrockets, with a new colony supplying metal ores, and a great need for mass produced parts, the Grand Iron Forge is finalized in excellent timing, her crews of combined Clockworkman and Dwarf now experienced in their various tasks and cooperation. 11/12

3. The initial clockwork testing for combat is…underwhelming. Several clockworks malfunction and misfire. The money is enough to muzzle the press, but it's not enough to make any real progress. (Combat Clockworks 1/8)

4. [Nobility] The nobility, are, quite unsurprisingly, pissed off. Nothing happens though, because they seem to be busy managing their colonial holdings. Whew!

[Dominion]

1.2: Your rescue teams manage to save [lots; 3 pop] of the fleeing residents from Stella Imperium. [You may dictate what is to be done with them. This does not cost an action.][Set civil defense to: Simple]

3. Vilon outriders continue on clearing and taming the island. It's going very well. (9/10)

[Sculpted]

1.2.3.4.5.6: The Combined Forge-Quarry is completed in good Order. It adds new research options and you can probably construct larger sculpted more easily. Possibly. (unique building: Forge-Quarry; +5 industry +2/currency/turn)(Add technology: Scaled Construction [Simple])

789. You start work on trying to figure out how to create new sculpted out of diamonds. Subsequently, you lack a base of research diamonds and so you find those. After that, proper research starts and moves forward. (Diamond-Fabrication [Very Simple])

10 You manage to complete the mine in good order. (set resource: Granite [Sustainable][x2] Aluminium [Sustainable][x2])

11. You scry for some diamonds, but it only provides a limited amount. The spell just isn't that powerful. (Add Diamonds [Some])

12. You begin working on a better currency system. Currency/Coinage: 5/6

>>11417

[Santeria]

1) You manage to expand into the surrounding mountains. It's going quite well, frankly, and your experience in hard terrain is paying off. (Add 4 hex; +.2/pop/turn)

2) The Ziggurat is under construction. It will take some time, but it will yield benefits to you that are..considerable. (Ziggurat 6/10)

3) Your hunting parties head out. While they don't find very much in the mountains, they do find that bird eggs are edible and relatively reliable. You make a note of this. (Set food to [Very Stable])

>>11448

[Vyriah]

1. One of Morgaz's generals arrives to give you the general methodology. It's weird, but it seems to improve combat efficiency of pretty much all flying units. [Add technology: Morgazian Air-War [Simple]]

2. Upgrade our anti-espionage so it isn't terrible.

3. While well meaning, your airships arrive late due to an engine failure. You manage to save [Some; 1 pop] citizens of Stella Imperium, though, and they seem happy. [You can decide their fate without an action.] [Add technology: Civil Defense [Primitive])

>>11449

[Kaldor]

1. You sent some of the Freak-Trolls to Mare. I guess you just need to see what happens…

2. You begin scrying for the last beast on the island. It's…quite large. You think it's a ..gryphon of some sort. A big one.

3. While your orders are vague, it seems to help the overall efficiency of industrial production (+2 to industry).

>>11489

[Colony]

1-3- You finish your research on Sporeships. They're pretty solid, actually. [Add technology: Sporeships [Mediocre])

4-6: You expand and your spores seem to land pretty much on target – that is to say, everywhere. Things are going pretty well, honestly. [Add 4 hex; +.1/pop/turn; add resource: Healing Grass [Unfarmed] [GM: clarify direction?][Please roll 1d4]

7-9:You train a group of Withdrawn. They're ready for battle and look pretty tough, really. (Add 8 units [player's name choice][Strong])(Set food to: Average)

10-13 – The research goes extremely well and Beezlebuffo speaks to you in a slow ponderous nature typical of his kind. You think that you can train most of your Mycon to utilize the new supertoads that are summoned by Beezlebuffo. (Set spell: Summon Animals to: Good)(Add technology: Mobile Infantry [Basic])(Add unit: 2 Toad-Mounted Withdrawn [Very Strong][Quick]

14-15: You begin to upgrade the wall. The next wall is going to be really very big and will cover the whole nation! Great. (Briarthorn Wall 8/10)

The Elves are to be given status as legal refugees with the option for naturalization and citizenship, and are to be moved onto the colony in Ribwall, where they like the rest of the colonists will have access to colonial job and housing opportunities.

Legal refugees recieve the same basic rights as actual citizens, save the ability to vote on higher authoritative matters. However they will be heard for any petitions concerning food, security, living conditions, as well as the right autonomous self-governing of themselves under the King in a designated [Special Administrative Zone].

Race: Dwarvse

Color: Brown

Fluff :

Long ago, the first Dwarves on this land delved deep into the earth. At that time they had not explored their island, and where shocked to find that upon reaching a certain depth, they were greeted with impossible sky that stretched on forever! At that level, the world was strange. Sometimes stones and men would fall to their doom, othertimes they would float seemingly forever until saved by ropes or a gust of wind pulled them away. These were the early days of the Dwarves.

The he Dwarves attempted to mine and dig but with trepidation and caution, fearing what would happen if they dug too deep. Entire mines might collapse into the impossible sky.

Centuries would pass until the first dwarves discovered the ability to enchant ships to fly, and from there, the first Sky Barges were built. These ships, able to sail through the sky, would sail beneath the island. At first, to rescue those who might fall from pits too deep, and then, to take part in mining operations, capturing the precious ores and gemstones that were pulled away.

The Dwarves have adopted these ships as part of their society, and set out to expand their reach both in the air, and underground.

Government Type: Monarchy

2. Merchant-Nomads: You can buy most things relatively easy, so long as you have the money. It is also easier for you to make money, generally.

Eccentricities:

1. Everyone Hates Gnomes: Gnomes are physically weak in combat, and are easily kicked, punched, or abused. All of your combat rolls in melee suffer a -1 penalty.

Free: Drop the one pop of saved elves form the Stella Imperium at their new home, unless they wish to stay in Vyriah. Either way split the 20 gold of resources spent between them so as to ease their rebuilding.

2. Upgrade Anti-Espionage tech

3. Begin researching a type of weapon that will compress air into a reservoir to be used as the force behind a lead or other type of metal projectile. If done correctly it should be quieter that powder weapons and use no magic but the Magi-storm engine pump to create the compressed air.

If I may point something out. Our religion has studies the nature of magic a long time. Not just the dangers of Astral magic. Our problem might be that the world is leaking magic somehow. Generally it is impossible to actually completely destroy magic. It is inherent to the world. Even when used it is simply recycled back into the planet and it's associated planes eventually. Our problem may be as simple as finding a hole and patching it.

Fluff :

Long ago, the first Dwarves on this land delved deep into the earth. At that time they had not explored their island, and where shocked to find that upon reaching a certain depth, they were greeted with impossible sky that stretched on forever! At that level, the world was strange. Sometimes stones and men would fall to their doom, othertimes they would float seemingly forever until saved by ropes or a gust of wind pulled them away. These were the early days of the Dwarves.

The he Dwarves attempted to mine and dig but with trepidation and caution, fearing what would happen if they dug too deep. Entire mines might collapse into the impossible sky.

Centuries would pass until the first dwarves discovered the ability to enchant ships to fly, and from there, the first Sky Barges were built. These ships, able to sail through the sky, would sail beneath the island. At first, to rescue those who might fall from pits too deep, and then, to take part in mining operations, capturing the precious ores and gemstones that were pulled away.

The Dwarves have adopted these ships as part of their society, and set out to expand their reach both in the air, and underground.

Government Type: Monarchy

Economy Type: Capitalism

Religion: The Dreaming Forge God. The Dwarves believe that the reason the world floats through the sky, is that a great god of forgework is alseep and dreaming of islands flying through the sky. We dwarves are in the image of the forge god, and are the ones to construct the designs and inventions he dreams up with.

1.2.Secure the elven people. Disseminate priests and what doctor's we have to see to any wounds they may have. While doing so offer the gift of undead to them. Immortality and access to necromancy should tempt quite a few. Especially after they just saw it utterly destroy their evil Astral magic. As an aside I'm aware of the plague going around but there isn't really anything I can do about it now.

3.4. Repair the elven capital. Focus on the homes and cleaning the streets of dead bodies.

5. Raise their dead as regular civilians for now. If an emergency comes we can reallocate them as necessary hopefully peace prevails though. Not the bodies of their leaders. Anyone that was in a government position gets cremated and spit on the ashes.

Name: Santerians

Race (Determines bonuses):'Cave' Humans

Color: (Determined map color): Dark orange with blue trim

Fluff (Determines bonuses): Originally a tribe of humans whom lived within the shadows of Nightcrag Mountains the Santerians lived short and grueling lives against the horrors of the caverns. However things changed the night the elder chieftain was nearly slain by an assassins arrow.In that moment a young priestess stepped in front of the arrow and was pierced in the chest with tears of crimson she slowly died a painful death within the cheiftens arms. The assailant disappeared into the shadows, and the young priestess was laid to rest as a hero in a large sarcophagus deep within the caves. As the priests closed the lid those in attendance watched as the stone walls bleed around them. As disturbing as such a thing was to behold, it was seen as a sign of something. But nobody really knew what it could be.

A month later the priestess appeared to the people again, it seemed to be impossible. But indeed, her tomb was discovered to be vacant. Her name was Hannah, and she was proclaimed the leader of tribe by the elder himself. Hannah proclaimed she had returned from the land of the dead with the assistance of the dead gods that dwindle within the world beyond the living.

It was soon taught that death is not the end, that those who die are sent to the shadowlands- a reflection of our own world. Those who are weak will succumb and pass onto the afterlife- a simplified version of this world created by the weak souls, who will live another mortal life, unaware of their former selves. This will continue until they reach the fifth afterlife. A place of eternal darkness and violence… However strong souls that have suffered in life are able to return after a time, their consciousness and sanity intact. Such 'return trips' becoming only easier the more an individual walks the path in the shadowlands. Even reincarnation into another body is possible, the memories of their former life returning with adulthood…a different body, yet still essentially their original selves.

The Shadowlands are ruled by the nine gods, Veles, Thoth, Armok, Lir, Baccus, Eusoch, Xom , Grosth and Behra. It is thought that these beings were once apart of a higher plane of existence. However it is debated if this plane was one of paradise or one of dread. These beings are neither omnipotent or all powerful, instead they are rotten shadows of what they once might have been. Each eager to receive offerings and sacrifice for their favor.

The Santariens, having witness the undying prophet rallied behind their new leader, seemingly able to pull the very blood out of another man, Hannah lead a crusade of violence and revenge against the other human cave tribes. Within only five months they had all either bent their knees to her or had been put exterminated on the cavern dirt. Now much greater in numbers the Santariens exit the caves for the first time in decades….

Government Type (Determines some stats): Absolute monarchy, the undying keeps a few advisers from conquered tribes (whom surrendered) on a small council as well.

Economy Type (Determines some stats): Traditional economics.

Religion (Determines magic): The path of now and forever, the old ways, the march of blood, it goes by many names but the tenets and lessons are always the same.

Location: Southeastern of the Nightcrag mountains.

Name: The Lost(Courtier)

Race: Elves

Color: Blue with brown backing

Fluff : The Lost are the last fragments of the once proud Stella Imperium. Their cities sacked, their labs destroyed, their people tortured and killed. They are all that's left. The Dwarves and Dominion, who came too late to aid in the battle, came in and swept them away even as the Necro Imperialis butchered scores more under their heel in a fit of overzealous rage and fury. Every elf remembers that day.

The astral light inborn in every elf still burns, but the principals of their magic has, shifted. Where once it was artful and filled with beauty, it is now cold and Spartan. Where once the luminous purple light of the astral plain was clearly apparent in all who saw and elf cast, the color and aura are hidden and subdued. Less powerful perhaps, even likely, but so much harder to detect by an order of magnitude. Indeed their magic and eyes give off no light or warmth or beauty anymore, it just is.

Government Type: Elder Council, who answer to the dwarf king alone. His nobles can go sit on an iron spike.

Economy Type: Capitalism as per our short bearded friends.

Religion: The star spirits are still venerated by the lost, but the open worship and asking of questions has ceased. The stars did not or could not help them then, and are unlikely too now. The elves must help themselves first.

It's unclear what is happening. The shaking soon stops and everything appears normal.

The meeting had ended almost as quickly as it had begun. Without as much as a word Hannah followed the walking corpse around for a few minutes before making an approach.

"There you are," she said with a smile, her voice sounded something like music within the sky. "I've been wondering about you ever since I lay my eyes upon you… namely how you are able to keep your form without assistance?"

She then leaned forward, almost standing on the tips of her toes as if it would allow her to speak softer. Within a whisper she said, "You slaughtered them all did you not? Even the woman and children. Yet no one even mentioned it…. are all on the surface so indifferent to suffering?"

3 [Coalition Research Facility]. Sending some of the brighter and magically inclined vilon, not including Pini, to aid the facility. If we can learn more about the magic's effect on the fabric of the plain and which magics are more benign and which are dangerous.

Diplomacy: Morgaz

The Voice lands, occasionally looking up at where the fissure was wanting to know what would have come out, what did the dragons see in the fissure what metals did they use to close it all this she would ask and more running through her mind as she approached Morgaz's border the first "Is Morgaz available?"

>>11547

[Morgaz]

Morgaz himself was among the dragons on the flight. He lands near The Voice, apparently quite excited.

"Greetings. A fine day, isn't it? It's not often that one's theories can prove to be absolutely correct, or that one's methods can be validated categorically. Come here, I will show you something."

You peer into the bag that Morgaz holds. Whatever it is… it's…semitranslucent… and vaguely colorful? It seems to change every way you look at it. You've never seen anything like it before.

"Raw magic. It's the first I've seen of it on this plane. It exists elsewhere of course – dead planes, planes fragmented. But here, now, too. There is also raw order and raw chaos to be found. Perhaps the…edifice will be begin leaking that too. This place, I sometimes castigate it for killing my wife, but it has mysteries to it."

He sees you are agawk. "Oh, don't worry. It's quite safe. Assertions otherwise are mostly the yammering of fool. Raw magic is…powerful, mostly because it is immensely mutable. It can assume nearly any property. It is the abstraction that binds everything together." He pauses. "Let us hope such material does not become a …gold rush."

>>11549

A dwarf ship arrives as well, havnig been alerted to the issue by several communication channels from the Angels.

Updated on the situation, one of the dwarven diplomats ponders.

"We're developing a research laboratory to help you find a cure for the Astral Magic that is threatening the world.

If raw magic is "Safe", studying and understanding it could help in bringing an end to the global threat of Astral Magic."

>>11549

>>11550

A pack of broodlings fly to the scene to watch. One steps forwards as the group leader, "The dwarves are right, the research center is well under development. Our goal is to study the problem of the plane's destabilization in a controlled environment."

>>11549

Dip cont.

"Morgaz, we are beginning construction of facilities and if this material is 'safe' then our research should try to make it the priority of our magic theory which seeks to understand the dangers of our magic. This could be the stroke of fortune we need…or as they often appear 'elsewhere' is it a sign of worse things to come?"

>>11552

"Indeed, the fact that 'Raw Magic' is abundant in dead or fragmented planes leads to some fearful inferences."

>>11552

>>11549

>>11550

>>11547

[Morgaz]

Morgaz's voice changes and he slowly retracts his bag. He has seen something.

"I knew this would happen. It always has to be like this, doesn't it. It can't be any other way. It is the nature of things. My wife tried to make me see what is good in others, but it is the nature of power to ruin the heart of what is good in life. " He pauses and he seems to choke up, but then his facial expression grows fierce and his voice changes. It becomes harsh.

"And she is dead because of it. I am not seeing visitors today. I will be happy to receive you through proper channels. I wish you both good day."

With that, Morgaz heads back into his fortress. Guards immediately arrive, but they take no action except to escort him inside.

You are with the wind.

>>11554

The Dragon flies off, as the assembled those are left to themselves.

"I sense a lack of trust gentlemen. It seems the Dragon believes we are in this for profit rather than the good of the world.

This is most unfortunate, but does make me ponder. If the Dragon truly wished us to help with all our means and stop the danger to the planet, and trusted the information to us, why now does he show us trepidation?

I know this, you cannot ask one thing, and then proceed to do the opposit. If the Dragon means for us to stop the threat to the world, he would trust us capable of doing so."

>>11555

>Trips Chek'd

The broodling leader begins to speak, "It's relating to the Mericon. You may have briefly heard Morgaz instructing us on them before the meeting began. To my understanding they're a parasitic race that consumes and shatters planes. I have a working theory Morgaz may be from another plane where such creatures exist. I have someone that may be able to provide answers, but I will wait for the neutral territory of the lab to be completed. As for Morgaz's plans, I believe he is going to try sealing the plane together using raw magic, which may also be a mistake." The broodling has clearly digressed and begins to mumble about uncertainties towards the Mericon.

>>11556

"Whatever Morgaz does, are any of us in a position to stop him?

More and more we dwarves feel less and less in positions of power. But a few decades ago, the thought of the Stella Empire falling was so far away. And look where we our now?

If you believe you have something that will be of help to us all, please tell us and we will use every available means at our disposal."

>>11557

"None of us can stop Morgaz individually and he'd prepare for us if we show any sign of making a group stand. It's a dilemma I cannot immediately face or stop. What is key for now is the completion of the research. As I stated, we may be able to forego the research once we finish the laboratory and I may put my… informant to work. The best thing to do now is wait, as painful as it is to say."

>>11545

The skeleton whispers back

"We slaughtered every last one of their government, their soldiers, and their mages be they men or women. The children were not directly harmed though many will die from plague undoubtedly. This is not good. Both for international relations and because children's corpses are sacrosanct we can't raise them and use them. It's a waste. And you should be thanking us we removed a threat that would have destroyed the world just as much as these new developments might. As for no one mentioning it. This is bad my goal was to come here and establish the treaty not have it ignored. No response is a bad response it leaves us requiring to be ready to defend instead of focusing on rebuilding. I will likely be punished for my failure. For you my vile little man who whispers his words instead of speaking boldly if your nation attempts to use the raw Astral magic we will come for you as well. The next time you speak to a diplomat I advise you don't attempt to incriminate and insult them from the start we are more forgiving of it. Other nations might not be."

The skeleton then walks away and proceeds to address the host.

>The spores begin to spread further…

[META: Looked over new rule set. Not entirely sure how trade functions. I can sustainably trade resources with someone now?]

>>11571

{{GM: It will not increase the overall supply of resources, but it is possible..}}

>>11572

[META][Could I for example, run a trade route of [Gems, Scarce] for Baz's [Rubicite, Scarce]? Or is it purely for currency increase?]

>>11574

[GM: You have made effective contact with The Brood occupied territories of Chaos. Would you like to move south, around them?]

>>11573

[GM: Yes. Both resources would be effectively bridged, and there would be a currency increase as well as other benefits. Effectively both sides would be, so to speak, attached at the hip insofar as resources.]

5/6 - MEANWHILE BACK AT THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE…

The Fists of the Herald raise their heads to the sky. They look to the east, as though listening for some distant call. Suddenly they jerk to attention, at the ready. The Herald has new orders for them. Immediately setting to work, the Fists and the lesser elementals that populate the Thrakun begin clearing out a large, circular area in the valley, making a deep depression and adorning it in the detritus of their work. Rubble to rubble. Ruin to ruin. The Demiurge slumbers, but not for long.

[Begin construction of 1 of 2 Ritual Circles for the Great Awakening at the Thrakun Tuuman]

>>11584

(Moen wasn't the capital or destroyed. The capital was. Moen is super fine and getting fortified.)

A brooding flies upwards to the large elemental. "Well, all of us are to some degree. 'The Experiment' assists in keeping and maintaining order, but the clownspider also has some level of influence."

>>11587

(Close enough.)

"All of you claim to rule? It is better than one man claiming all, to be true." The larger behemoth remains still, but the smaller humanoid continues speaking as though it had heard what the former did. "You are an oddly-shaped people, nothing like What Was. I am Dulsea Valley, and Emissary of the Herald, It That Speaks As God, which is All and Eternal, it which Slumbers. What are you?" It seems to be asking not the broodling, but the race as a whole.

>>11588

The brooding pokes out her chest, trying to make themselves sound important as the giant, "A brooding. Manifestation of the broodmother's will, keeper of order and virtue. Basically we've transcended individuality to form a multifaceted society. No war or hatred. So where is it your people are heading? You came awful close to our town here. Yeah, we had to clean out the world-threatening Chaos in the name of order."

>>11589

"Keepers of order, hmm?" The emissary smiles. Rather, it makes a face that one who's never seen or heard of a smile might make if they were asked to express satisfaction. "Order is our common interest, then. This land is unfinished, disorderly, corrupted by evil influence. We feel it in our bones of earth, it drives our march and fuels our anger." its tone is monotone, not showing a hint of emotion. The fire that wreaths its head flares slightly.

"Stamping out disorder is our birthright, settling imbalance our one purpose in existence. We are the land, the Living Plane Manifest in Multitudes. The Tunak Tuarum, for that is our title, makes for the Spine of the Demiurge, the Cradle of It Which Slumbers. That is our sacred home. But the earth changes slowly. We have time. Tell us all you know of this world as it is, for we know little, only recently Awakened as we be."

>>11590

"A problem. A group of many nations tries to discover the problems of the world. Little is known currently." The brooding crosses her four arms.

>>11591

"Problems?" the elemental laughs. Rather, it makes a grating, cacophonous noise of rumbling boulders and flashing sparks that could be roughly construed as laughter if you'd never actually heard it before. "The problem is simple: this world is incomplete. It is imbalanced, the Divine Creation is skewed and tainted by… outside forces acting upon it." the emissary describes the world's problems as though it were a physics equation. "Once these forces are counteracted, set to neutral, then the plane will stabilize, the troubles will cease, and the Shaper can finally complete its work. Will your group help bring the balance, or do they act against it?"

>>11592

"We will act in your favor to the extent we can allow. Understand that the plane is collapsing. The time you wished to create it has passed, I regret to inform you. The purpose of our study is to stabilize the plane. If you wish to endorse these actions, I request you continue your march south. Beyond the dragons you will meet, there is a colony now hidden. When you find it, I humbly request you smash it for me. They have been committing acts of… Terror, against the plane. It would be in both our interests you stop them."

>>11596

"Interlopers, infesting the Holiest of Holies?" For the first time, a hint of real anger invades the emissary's voice. It makes a growl that sounds like roiling, howling winds and deep popping cinders. "We will wipe them from existence. Your aid is appreciated, may It Which Slumbers see you close to completion."

With those cryptic words the emissary departs, and the colossal titan lumbers behind it, leaving small craters in its wake. Despite the carnage surrounding the capitol, flowers start to bloom where its feet fall.

Bardin stood, hunched over the card table with the rest of Regal Team. They were still his friends, even in his entombed state. In the small manipulators shaped to look like hands he held seven cards, holding them up closely to the tiny set of crystal disks that served as his various optics.

"Go fish." He said in his mechanical voice, slapping the cards down on the table. He put them down a little too hand, splintering the cheap plyboard table and sending cards, beers, and half-eaten bread flying across the yard.

"Sorry, mates." Came the voice. A whirring noise as the giant machine turned slightly, collecting cards with a speed that not even the Knight sitting at the table could match. "I'm still learning my own strength."

"It's alright, Bardin." Said a female Elf. The Knight. She gave the spider tank a smirk. "But I'm noyl going to forgive you if you let me ride inside of you tonight."

"I couldn't stop you anyway, Liliana." The mechanical voice replied. The mechanical laugh was a little awkward but everyone else found that just as amusing.

[Vyriah]

1. Morgaz's ambassador claims to have informed you of everything that Morgaz knows about the situation. He goes on to state that, as a positive sign, that Magi-Storm engines and Strato-magic deployed by the Gnomes has a “relatively low footprint”. Morgaz instead offers you some revisions to your drive systems, which has has managed to improve. You get the idea Morgaz is trying to get you to drop the issue. (set Magi-Storm Propulsion to [Average])

2. Anti-espionage research starts following some confusion by multiple departments over resources. This slows progress, it must crawls forward. (2/6)

3. You begin working on Magi-Propellant; a powderless compressed substance produced by the running of the Magi-Storm engines. The theory is problematic, but it starts. The researchers aren't sure how they're going to pull this one off (but they will). (1/6)

2. The fortress completes. (revise: Moen to [Fortress])

3. Your efforts are in vain; the few pieces are still unstable, and now you've lost what remaining bits you've had. You're very slowly getting better, though. (PsiBi Research: 6/10)

>>11532

[Patchwork]

1/2) Returns on your offers are mediocre, but your [pluralism] seems to help matters. The new towns and hamlets are generally good natured. (Expansion: 7/10)

3) You start steel production but it's…just not going very well. There have been several accidents in the forging facilities. (lose .2 pop)(research: 0/5)

3. You commit your resources to the lab. There's nothing else to be done from here except wait. (Add unique building: [Coalition Research Facility]).

4. The Nobles are pissed off again. Great. They don't do anything, really, but they want more gems. (Set gems to: Low)

>>11547

[Dominion]

1. Expansion completes; some small villages have been integrated. A few Vilon scouts report that they've found some caverns. It will need some work to get into, but they seem deep. (Add 4 hex; +.1/pop/turn)

2. The research into anti-spy methods completes in good order. (Add technology: Counter-Espionage [Simple])

>>The following units have become available from the occupation: 3 Undead Warmages [Strong]; 3 Zombie Hordes [Medium][Infectious]

1.You slowly start to convert the population. Many decide to agree to the change, but there are many remaining. Plague ravages the camps. (Add 3 pop; set Elf Prisoners to 3)

2.3.You begin repairing the capital. The damage is extremely severe. (3/20)

4. You raise wights of good quality and number. (Add units: 2 Wightswarms [Very Strong][Fear])

5. The status remain incomplete. The guy hired for it took the money and ran. Son of a bitch. (lose 7 currency; statues 1/2)

>>11562

[2702]

>>Morgaz has personally appeared to you. It's not sure how he knows you have scouts at the local towns. He is wearing massive black armor and stays at a slight distance. He bellows (loudly) “that I would like to speak to the commander in charge AT THIS FINE TOWN. I know you are here.” You may respond without an action and without cost. He has a small retinue, but they stand at attention rather than in a combat posture.

>>Nation event: 2702. You have noticed an odd insect around the base. A few of the psilockeers manage to hit it with a rolled up document. Think think it's Brood in origin, but they're not certain. You have the corpse.

1. You begin working on the communications array. It moves ahead thanks to some very innovative technicians. (5/7) [GM: Clarify what you want from this?]

2. Glider research is hampered at the last minute by a few errors in the design schematics. No progress is made.

3. The operation has begun as per your orders.

>>11576

[Sculpted]

1. The banking system is active and your now have a relatively effective economic structure. (Add technology: Economics [Simple])(+4 currency/turn)

[Tunak]

1. You continue rolling south. There is slightly harder terrain, and this seems to slow the force down slighty. (Expansion 8/10)

2.3: Your elementals now are able to cast quake magic in battle. This isn't quite what you were hoping for, but is seems to be useful. (Add technology: War Magic [Simple])

4 – You start working on the firestorm spell. It's slow going, as several of the elementals are still awakening and appear groggy. (Research 3/6)

5/6 – The construction of the first circle begins. It's a relatively massive project and will take a good deal of time. (3/20)

>Name: The HonkSpider

>Race (Determines bonuses): The Brood. Spider-like Humanoids that share a hivemind with their Broodmother. Each has four arms and a light chitinous armor on their body. Certain variants of the species that assist in caring for the queen have four clear wings not unlike those of dragonflies to assist in maneuverability. Other, "workers," have the ability to create a sort of silk which is used in expanding the hive. Their mouths are lined with eighty thin, sharp teeth. The Broodmother herself holds a more spiderlike appearance, taking the form of a large black widow with a human face.

>Color: (Determined map color): Purple

>Fluff (Determines bonuses): "That foolish spider my ringleader is slain my god is almost giggling at grim amusement. That fool spider wanted a meal hehehehehhehehhhehehehheheheh silly spider all things has souls even pests like you. My god shall laugh again or my name isn't King Honk." King Honk said as he tries to moves his arms "Wait this isn't my form in fact I'm not sure why I have four arms has my god changed me into this what's going on. Harlennelrah must be laughing his ass off he'll like this indeed. Well even the former King Honk shall make do with this form. Perhaps I should follow these pests after all I want Harlennelrah to laugh not mourn my comrades."

>Government Type (Determines some stats): Hivemind system where all members of The Broodnest share the mind of the Broodmother. Monarchy under The Broodmother.

>Economy Type (Determines some stats): Raw material based system that is used for outside trade. Due to the broodmother being able to directly control any one member of The Brood, there is no reason for an internal economy, thus all currency is owned by The Broodmother with the intent to further The Broodnest.

>Bonuses:

>1. Collective: It is very hard to surprise or get the drop on a collective organism. Attackers never get any advantage in rolls during an attack and can never surprise you. Tactics against you are also generally less effective.

>2. Psionic Coordination: As a collective insect organism, your units do not experience fear and do not retreat from combat. They fight to the death and are resistant to all forms of suggestion. They also might be able to exploit certain combat situations unlike other races.

>3. Clownspiders: You are clownspiders, a variation of The Brood that has been infected with a rare and ancient bacteria and cursed by the god Harlennelrah. The bacteria is non-transmissable except to certain brood. Inexplicably, you have a tendency to cause [Fear] in many units.

>Eccentricities:

>1. Fire Bad: The Brood severely dislike fire. If fire is deployed in combat, the Brood behaves oddly and suffers a combat penalty of -1 to every roll. Larger Brood are sometimes resistant to this.

>2.He Who Has The Last Honk: In combat, you gain a combat advantage against those who have slain clowns in the past. This translates into +2 to every combat roll, but only applies to clownspiders.

Fluff :

Long ago, the first Dwarves on this land delved deep into the earth. At that time they had not explored their island, and where shocked to find that upon reaching a certain depth, they were greeted with impossible sky that stretched on forever! At that level, the world was strange. Sometimes stones and men would fall to their doom, othertimes they would float seemingly forever until saved by ropes or a gust of wind pulled them away. These were the early days of the Dwarves.

The he Dwarves attempted to mine and dig but with trepidation and caution, fearing what would happen if they dug too deep. Entire mines might collapse into the impossible sky.

Centuries would pass until the first dwarves discovered the ability to enchant ships to fly, and from there, the first Sky Barges were built. These ships, able to sail through the sky, would sail beneath the island. At first, to rescue those who might fall from pits too deep, and then, to take part in mining operations, capturing the precious ores and gemstones that were pulled away.

The Dwarves have adopted these ships as part of their society, and set out to expand their reach both in the air, and underground.

Government Type: Monarchy

Economy Type: Capitalism

Religion: The Dreaming Forge God. The Dwarves believe that the reason the world floats through the sky, is that a great god of forgework is alseep and dreaming of islands flying through the sky.

Several people look at each other with visible confusion. Even the Mayor appears confused. Morgaz can tell that this isn't just an act, he legitimately has no idea who or what Morgaz is talking about. Mercifully someone actually does. A human man who had been standing behind a stall smiles. Suddenly in a deadzone between townspeople and dragons a very pretty Elven woman sitting behind a desk appears. She looks up, then down, directly at Morgaz.

"Well, isn't this a surprise." She says coyly, a smirk tugging at her lips. The Elf is dressed in a brown coverall that bears little more than a patch on the breast and a name: Ironbranch. At her collar are three stars in a triangular formation. "How can I help you?"

"I am Morgaz and I am sovereign of the nation to the north of here. I bring…ill tidings, mostly because I what I am about to say." He pauses again.

"The farmers are quite well trained, aren't they? They do it themselves. Very impressive." He trails off. "So. I am here on…diplomatic business. It has become..clear to me that you have…been…making several….gestures toward certain nations. That is not my concern. My concern is mostly that I require engineers for finish my project. This discussion concerns the solicitation of those engineers. I would ask what you would require for their expertise. It would be…piecework, mostly a few small items."

Race: Dwarvse

Color: Brown

Fluff :

Long ago, the first Dwarves on this land delved deep into the earth. At that time they had not explored their island, and where shocked to find that upon reaching a certain depth, they were greeted with impossible sky that stretched on forever! At that level, the world was strange. Sometimes stones and men would fall to their doom, othertimes they would float seemingly forever until saved by ropes or a gust of wind pulled them away. These were the early days of the Dwarves.

The he Dwarves attempted to mine and dig but with trepidation and caution, fearing what would happen if they dug too deep. Entire mines might collapse into the impossible sky.

Centuries would pass until the first dwarves discovered the ability to enchant ships to fly, and from there, the first Sky Barges were built. These ships, able to sail through the sky, would sail beneath the island. At first, to rescue those who might fall from pits too deep, and then, to take part in mining operations, capturing the precious ores and gemstones that were pulled away.

The Dwarves have adopted these ships as part of their society, and set out to expand their reach both in the air, and underground.

Government Type: Monarchy

Economy Type: Capitalism

Religion: The Dreaming Forge God. The Dwarves believe that the reason the world floats through the sky, is that a great god of forgework is alseep and dreaming of islands flying through the sky. We dwarves are in the image of the forge god, and are the ones to construct the designs and inventions he dreams up with.

Dahlia raises an eyebrow. High-definition picture is a truly glorious thing. "I'm not terribly concerned about the attempts of primitives to find us. We are prepared for that eventuality, but you have done a great deal to intrigue me. First, you have instruments capable of reading our signatures, which means you aren't like the other savage nations on this Plane. These townsfolk have been well-trained indeed, they're also quasi-citizens of Primus so it's to be expected." Dahlia leans forward, both her elbows on her desk. The smirk falls away to reveal an expression that is all business. "It means that you're capable of reading highly advanced and encrypted psionic signatures. That makes you useful, or a major threat. What sort of items are the talking and for what sort of work?"

>>11621

a polite refusal is sent back with the broodling. From the handwriting it seems the Doge tried very hard to be the bare minimum of polite.

[Morgaz]

Morgaz laughs. "Oh, I can't actually read them. I can register them and correlate them. The rules of this plane are…. a little strange. As for how, documentation is quite extensive; there's only about three other planar-going entities – that I am aware of – that have your signature. One is a plane-going blob, the other causes planar-tears of catastrophic proportion. You do not look like a blob to me, nor some damnable eldritch horror!" He laughs once.

Suddenly, he changes the subject. "The work is simple. I require fine hands and fine skills to make revisions to a proprietary device I have constructed. The device is only the size of a fist, but is partially uses some psionics to make some of the principles function. However, my people, though they are..skilled in many things, are not psions." He pauses. "This is where you come in. Two engineers for two days, or so. They will be well kept. In exchange, I will send several of my best soldiers to train you in guerilla warfare techniques. I have fine skills after fighting the previous administration in the god-forsaken mountains north of here."

Name: The Lost(Courtier)

Race: Elves

Color: Blue with brown backing

Fluff : The Lost are the last fragments of the once proud Stella Imperium. Their cities sacked, their labs destroyed, their people tortured and killed. They are all that's left. The Dwarves and Dominion, who came too late to aid in the battle, came in and swept them away even as the Necro Imperialis butchered scores more under their heel in a fit of overzealous rage and fury. Every elf remembers that day.

The astral light inborn in every elf still burns, but the principals of their magic has, shifted. Where once it was artful and filled with beauty, it is now cold and Spartan. Where once the luminous purple light of the astral plain was clearly apparent in all who saw and elf cast, the color and aura are hidden and subdued. Less powerful perhaps, even likely, but so much harder to detect by an order of magnitude. Indeed their magic and eyes give off no light or warmth or beauty anymore, it just is.

Government Type: Elder Council, who answer to the dwarf king alone. His nobles can go sit on an iron spike.

Economy Type: Capitalism as per our short bearded friends.

Religion: The star spirits are still venerated by the lost, but the open worship and asking of questions has ceased. The stars did not or could not help them then, and are unlikely too now. The elves must help themselves first.

Dahlia looks suitably unimpressed. "I regret to inform you that we already have training in guerrilla warfare and don't need further instructors for that task." She shrugs half-heartedly. "But, you do have something that I want. You have detailed readings and examinations of the metaphysics of this Plane? I want them. Give me your documentation on the metaphysics here for analysis and I'll give you two engineers for your work. Information for information. The stupid metaphysics of this Plane are causing all sorts of issues with my equipment." As if to punctuate that the picture suddenly vanishes. The human let out a curse under his breath. The picture flashed back into being a few seconds later. "Like that." She says with a frown.

Hannah had wondered the streets of the flying city for nearly a day now, eating garbage and obtain liquid in other 'interesting' ways. However her she could afford to procrastinate much longer. After about half an hour of searching she found what she hoped was the residence of the 'doge' as they called him. She approached the nearest guard and requested an audience. Insisting she's the leader of a nation when met with 'understandable' doubt.

>>11629

[Morgaz]

Morgaz is slightly put off, but he senses a deal is near. "Very well, I will send you the data I have collected. It is in draconic, mostly, and it will need to be copied. I will provide a translator as I'm afraid some of my terminology is somewhat unclear. As such the translation will be somewhat imperfect, but I suspect you are quite used to that so far." He pauses. "Additionally, I would like to make you aware of growing…paranoia and power-mongering of nations of this plane. They are…exceedingly irrational. I will provide a faerie dragon to you if you wish you contact me in the future. It will dwell in the hills near this particular town and will easy to find. Expect the documentation in two days; you know where to send the engineers." With that, Morgaz flies away.

After the meeting he mutters to his aide: "they are all the same."

>>11632

Hearing the name and the description the woman is let in to meet the same gnome from before, this time wearing a red suit with a gold trim. "What's your business? Also, why haven't you left my city yet?"

Dahlia closes the connect. Her frown deepens. The report she was reading was preliminary analysis of the bug they'd found wandering around the base. They don't estimate it saw much given how early it got squashed, but any amount was too much. They needed that Gate open, and they needed it open fast. She pressed her communicator, opening up a voice channel with the Chief Eingeer. She could hear drilling and hammering in the background along with muffled voices.

"Yes, General?" He asks into the communicator.

"I need two Engineers sent to Morgaz. Don't worry, it's for diplomatic reasons. He's more advanced than we gave him credit for and I want him on our side until we get the Gate open."

"Will do, General." The connection went dead. Bloodstone was a busy man after all. Dahlia went back to reading her reports.

She walks into the room, her eyes wander across various well crafted pieces of art for a few moments. "I must admit with embarrassment, that I have never dreamed people living in the clouds possible.. let alone an entire city flying…" She giggles at the absurdity of it all before focusing on her host. Hey eyes traced the suit, it was a deep red. "I like your cloak a lot, red looks nice on you."

She gives a small smile, then crouches near a seat across from the sitting leader of the gnomes. "Right, I'll be frank Sir Doge, we have little to offer and no military to speak of… so we are of no threat to you.." She pauses a bit, "I doubt we would prove one with an army, but this is besides the point."

"We will be soon be investing our resources into the field of medicine, hopefully one day we shall be able to offer you physicians and doctors as sign of token. For alliance yes? It is good deal, or if not good enough we also make advances in magic of manipulation of the body so to speak…What do you think?"

The ground work of an academy of medicine and anatomy is laid out, there would soon hopefully be doctors among the Santerians. [Begin construction of a medical university, rush with 10 gold]

3) Within the temple the practice of magic begins, however it doesn't belong in combat at all. In fact it's about as indirect you can get… The walk of the shadowlands would be explored more..the concept of reincarnation.. no longer a concept for those who follow the path…who have suffered enough… Ten priests commit ritual suicide, if everything goes well they will all appear on the horizon within a week, their wounds healed and their minds expanded.

These were the early days of the Dwarves.

The he Dwarves attempted to mine and dig but with trepidation and caution, fearing what would happen if they dug too deep. Entire mines might collapse into the impossible sky.

Centuries would pass until the first dwarves discovered the ability to enchant ships to fly, and from there, the first Sky Barges were built. These ships, able to sail through the sky, would sail beneath the island. At first, to rescue those who might fall from pits too deep, and then, to take part in mining operations, capturing the precious ores and gemstones that were pulled away.

The Dwarves have adopted these ships as part of their society, and set out to expand their reach both in the air, and underground.

Government Type: Monarchy

Economy Type: Capitalism

Religion: The Dreaming Forge God. The Dwarves believe that the reason the world floats through the sky, is that a great god of forgework is alseep and dreaming of islands flying through the sky. We dwarves are in the image of the forge god, and are the ones to construct the designs and inventions he dreams up with.

Name: The Lost(Courtier)

Race: Elves

Color: Blue with brown backing

Fluff : The Lost are the last fragments of the once proud Stella Imperium. Their cities sacked, their labs destroyed, their people tortured and killed. They are all that's left. The Dwarves and Dominion, who came too late to aid in the battle, came in and swept them away even as the Necro Imperialis butchered scores more under their heel in a fit of overzealous rage and fury. Every elf remembers that day.

The astral light inborn in every elf still burns, but the principals of their magic has, shifted. Where once it was artful and filled with beauty, it is now cold and Spartan. Where once the luminous purple light of the astral plain was clearly apparent in all who saw and elf cast, the color and aura are hidden and subdued. Less powerful perhaps, even likely, but so much harder to detect by an order of magnitude. Indeed their magic and eyes give off no light or warmth or beauty anymore, it just is.

Government Type: Elder Council, who answer to the dwarf king alone. His nobles can go sit on an iron spike.

Economy Type: Capitalism as per our short bearded friends.

Religion: The star spirits are still venerated by the lost, but the open worship and asking of questions has ceased. The stars did not or could not help them then, and are unlikely too now. The elves must help themselves first.

[Morgaz]

Morgaz's diplomat appears as the massive darksteel door opens.

"Greetings. Great Morgaz has explicitly banned the association of the nation with those who utilize blood magic. If at such a time you would like to rescind such practices, great Morgaz will of course receive you." With that the diplomat goes inside, and the massive door slams audibly. It slams loudly – so loudly, it causes nearby birds to fly away. You are alone.

>>11677

"Guess that's just how it works sometimes." She turns around and goes home.

Most of the base, sans Regal Team, gather in near the array to watch and observe the first astral communication's link with home. They arrange themselves into neat orderly ranks as if they were on a parade ground and not at all in the rather small confines of the base camp. From the area of communications all clutter and equipment had been cleared away for the event.

Fifteen Telepaths gather together, each on a glowing node of the Array. The the crack of thunder and a sudden smell of Ozone the eyes of the Telepaths open wide to reveal pools of empty swirling darkness. Their mouths open in a silent scream. The manifester crowns circling their heads and the heavy metal gauntlets shimmer and crackle with untold power. The large power pylons that ring the Array pulse and beat with a dark red light - the color of blood. Above the array a dark cloud swirls and loom before exploding with yet another peal of thunder to reveal the area Astral Sea itself, just a small snapshot of its vast expanse. Then it is gone. The energy arcs from the manifestor crowns shoots forward to the center of the contraption. From the center of the array a truly regal figure emerges. A clear pictures, but a hologram of a person. She is tall, lithe, unimaginably beautiful. Clad in a form-fitting red dress that hugs her curves, with a crown upon her head and bejeweled gloves running up her arms the Mortal Queen herself steps forward from the platform.

The entire Detachment - excepting of course the Telepaths holding open communications - kneel in reverence and respect to the woman who alone maintains the same level of communication it takes all this work to do. She comes to Dahlia. Her poise is perfect, straight backed, but not rigid. She moves with all the air and certainty that only one of absolute power could. The Astral Projection of Queen Elsa stands before Dahlia. The Pioneer-General growls lower.

"Rise, General, Dahlia, my beloved Consort. Oh how I've missed you!" Dahlia rises slowly to her feet, her head still bowed. She doesn't even look at Elsa's feet. She looks away entirely, but maintains her stance of attention. "Come, look at me, my dear General." Even through all this distance Dahlia can feel the presence, hear the mental command of her leader. She looks up into Elsa's dark dark eyes. "You're late." Elsa says. Those eyes hold no warmth. Only contempt. "This array needed to be done months ago. Your failure has held back our operations in that zone for months, Dahlia. You must be punished for your failure."

It started as a prick in the back of her mind. Then pain blossomed. Like a rod of fire had been jammed under every nail, and into her eyes. The pain was everywhere, simultaneous, and staggering. Dahlia couldn't even scream for one long moment. She felt consciousness sway, but the mental finger grip of her Queen was strong around her jaw, and no darkness could claim her. She shuddered in pain and finally, after several agonizing heartbeats, was allowed to scream. She collapsed into a writhing seizure. No one looked at her. No one moved from attention. She bucked and clawed and screamed for a good long while before the Queen was satisfied with the woman's punishment. She felt the mental talons leave her but echoes of the pain still caused her to quake and whimper.

"I am not without mercy," She says, smiling now. Her hand gestures out over the Detachment. They could all feel it; the pleasure. Mind-numbing in intensity. Many of the newer or less resilient of the Detachment dropped immediately from the overlord, twitching in much the same way Dahlia was. Many lost control of themselves. The more experienced simply shuddered in place with pure euphoria. Images of paradise, feelings of the most exquisite physical and mental pleasure washed over everyone in the camp. Everyone except for Dahlia.

Rolling onto her side the Elven woman let out a quiet whimper. She squinted her eyes, clearing her vision of tears that way. She needed her hand on the ground before she collapsed again. With intense mental effort she forced herself back to her knees. The pain fled her, replaced with a small amount of the pleasure the others had been given. She shivered.

"Get my Gate open, Dahlia. You have a month. Do not make me respond to this personally again or it will be most unpleasant for you, Consort."

"A-as you will, m-my Queen." Dahlia croaked. She still shuddered occasionally but even her mind could not differentiate between the fear, the awe, the pain, or the pleasure.

Rolled 73, 30, 13 = 116 (3d100)

None of the Engineers would meet Dahlia's eyes. It wasn't entirely their fault, and they all knew it, but Dahlia was the one punished because they could not work fast enough. Now, they had a deadline. Never before had the term been more apt. Pioneer-General Dahlia looked drawn and exhausted, as if the day's ordeal had sapped all life and strength from her Elven bones. Even her long slender ears seemed to sag.

"General," Bloodstone began to say. He paused, his voice dropping and his tone becoming softer. "Dahlia, I'm sorry. Not just for the array. What the Queen asks of us," He pauses for a long time. He looks between the other Engineers, as if for support. The unsaid words hang heavy in the air. Dahlia nods sadly. "I don't know if we can do." Bloodstone finally finishes.

The door flew open. A lone Engineer stood in the doorway, panting. In her hand was a slate sheet. "I've got a solution!" She cried, rushing to the front. Dahlia lifted her head, eyeing the girl curiously.

"You've got what?" Bloodstone asks, angrily snatching the slate from Sylvia Brightstone.

"The Astral Well! It draws power directly from the Astral. If we could build the Gate on it we could skip the power generation process entirely!"

Bloodstone's dark eyes were glued to the slate. His brow was furrowed, a single hand stroking the fine hairs on his chin. "That would work. But how could we get it? We'd have to break cover in order to take the thing and the territory is occupied by the Dead Empire." Bloodstone handed Sylvia back her slate. He folded his arms over his chest. "But it's pretty much our only shot if we want to get this done before the Mortal Queen flays us alive for being late."
