Bezeri Awakening

[azzedar]

one thing for sure: i will never be able to play that religion without thinking of the airline :>

is the endless cycles of worlds meant in a metaphorical way? like 'worlds' as lives/the world as the environment an individual lives i/possibilities?
or real, actual worlds in the whole? like different planes of existence?

 

[Valkrionn]

I will not say anything on that, other than that you are wrong with both lives and planes.

Hmmm...

So we're looking at a compound of of Aira (Old), Randa (Cycle/Age) and suffix Mar (Land/World/Home).

Old Cycle of the World.

Endless is more accurately Oio, signifying an endless period.

Just checked and you seem to be partially right.

Actually some words' meaning change if you change the dictionnary you look at. In the one i used for this word, Aira means Endless, Old. The Enless meaning disappears in another one ^^

My Quenya is a bit rusty, what with Galadriel having buggered of to Valanor ages ago and me being a Wood Elf by birth... But closest translation I can get to is... "Old Long House"

My Quenya is limited to asking for directions to the hotel or toilet.

Hour upon hour of searching, is where.

The original is here: http://media.photobucket.com/image/lizard man/RobShanti/attachment-1.jpg?o=300

I would request you don't use him, seeing as we will be. There are a few other images I'd ask you not to use as well, as we'll be using them as new Cualli/Mazatl leaders in 1.4; Namely:

• Cualli
  • http://sansyu.deviantart.com/art/Lizard-Man-142121496
• Mazatl
  • http://gobboking.deviantart.com/art/WizardLizard-70014043
  • http://i39.tinypic.com/11ifpdk.jpg
  • http://i44.tinypic.com/2mr8i9e.jpg (My favorite leader portrait. )

Here's a pic we considered for use as Cimesiat, but ultimately rejected... Similar bone structure, may work for you. http://v3ss.deviantart.com/art/Merg-35588130


Edit: We have quite a bit more lizard art (like I said, spent hours searching. Saved some good ones) so if you want links, get on #erebus and ask.

Have one that we aren't explicitly using yet, but that I like and think would fit for a larger-bodied lizardman; A cualli, not a mazatl.

 

[Tasunke]

I suppose I will get on Erebus then.

 

[Valkrionn]

Well... The Bezeri now have a graphic for their mounts. Not quite a serpent, but it works. I may have to work on them now.

That's a pretty cool Sea-Dragon.

You have my thanks

Bezeri? Bezer'ej? Isenh? C'naatat?

Interesting...

I don't suppose that any Wess'har are going to be showing up?



Also, I believe you mentioned having C'naatat as a promotion? Perhaps it could work in a similar way to the Balseraph Mimic units?

Glad someone knows the source, at least, though it's Isenj.

And no, Wess'har will not show up. And none of the names really have much to do with the civ(s) other than general themes.

• Bezeri = Aquatic civ. Reptiles, though, not squid.
• Bezer'ej = Name of capital, rather than planet.
• Isenj = Fast breeding civ, but not spiders.
• C'naatat = Discipline of magic, not a symbiont.

And I'm not sure how exactly that will work yet.

 

[Tasunke]

Wess'har sounds quite interesting ... I may have to read this series ...

Sh... of course ! I didn't understood why the name rung a bell.... thx..
