OOC: Galleons are a good deal to advanced at this point. Think of more of being around turn 100 or so: even the Lanun, the most advanced naval power, is using galleys and trimenes. --- Barlow the Berserker was a Lanun who had been in attacking the Citadel from the beginning. When they had...

Not really. Old story references were mainly because I wanted to re-use characters I had half-developed when Cypher made a new story instead of continuing the old one.

It's why Cassiel's cool. He could use his great powers to all manner of things, yes, but he doesn't, to drive his point that the Grigori shouldn't rely on the God's at all, even for their own lives. Self-determination at it's best: it's the same reason why he doesn't grant the power to heal...

The Maw had burst forth a hoard of Orcs, and not a Grigori cared. And why should they? It was unlikely they would live long enough to see one. At least, that was the prognosis on the future of those who remained in the Citadel of Trials, counting the hours until the Lanun berserkers entered...

Filler.

When more people have posted, I intend an update which will bring a somewhat... different interpretation of demons. However, that depends on other people putting in more stories. After what happened last time, I've resolved that I'll really only even consider writing an update when at least...

Well, either of you could always write a story of a Grigori galley or wanderer making it's way to your shores by storm or sail, if you wish. I'd certainly play with it as it interests me. There's also always the matter of the Head of Cassiel and the person looking for the relics, which I left...

Two weeks after the Storm Kestrel's encounter, Lanun still waged war against Grigori, still lay seige to the Citadel of Trials. Comillo had not come, had not broken their fleets. Perhaps the tales had been exaggerated. Perhaps the Speaker's servants from the Deep kept him away. Perhaps he was...

Why not just have them come from the caves now?

Why retcon? Why not make up something entirely new?

Numbweed classified in Grigori Lands Grigori herbalists have come across a new crop of great potential: a type of seaweed that seems only to grow in the seas where pure Creation borders Hellish lands. Called numbweed for it's plentifulness in the Kelp forests and it's pain-killing and healing...

First Mate Nate was a good Lanun. That didn't mean he was a good man, so much: he drank and robbed and killed with the best of the landing parties. But he was generally quite good at what he did. "Listen up, dogs!" he yelled to the crew of his ship. They were the Sea Pack, had the tatoos to...

This seems like a good place to ask. As a rough estimate, whereabouts on the tech tree are we now? If Lanun have OO religious units, and Amurites near the elemental magics, what would be about good to claim at this point?

If people can only channel magic from their surroundings, that would mean magic would still be (relatively) strongest where there are fewest people, correct? That gives some hope for the Malakim (deserts) and Doveillo (tundra), but leaves a great(er) sway in the Oceans. The Overlords could be...

--- The party approached the forgotten tower, giving no notice as the Grunts emerged from the ruins and watched them approach. At their middle, as their guide, a girl. Branding, the one who has so recently been a guest. She remained dressed as a commoner, though she wore a sturdy cloak to...
