Probably the elves will dwell in the land with a small river surrounded by mountains in the east, in what appears to resemble a peninsula.
Not actually claiming, just saying that my dwarves shall be living in and around a volcano.
My dwarves will hopefully be calling dibbs on the large mountain near Golden1knight's claim.![]()
If I were you, I'd be wary of some Night Elves lurking your caves.
EDIT: Most likely I will not be present at this forum in the next two weeks, and I'll hate to miss the beginning of this NES.
So there may not be some night elves lurking in my caves.![]()
...The Forest of Dan...
Every time I see this I get creeped out that it's my name.![]()
"Let me tell you, wee spawnlings, of the origins of the the Ogre Race."
"In the beginning, there was only the Cosmic Grub. The Grub was ravenous, and began to eat itself. From its juices flowed the seas, and its flesh became the land, and its skeleton supports the land as it bites its own tail. Its spines became the mountains, and its curves became the valleys, and so it was that all became as it is now."
"So it continued, for a thousand thousands years. Until one day, from the Flesh of the Cosmic Grub sprang the First Walker. The First Walker looked upon the Flesh and saw it was barren, and forged the trees and the flowers from the Earth. And so it was that the Land was flowered."
"But the First Walker now grew hungry, and did not desire to eat the flowers, for despite their form they tasted bitter. So he made from the Flesh the beasts of the land, and the beasts of the Sea, and the beasts of the air, and dined upon them until he grew full."
"Now the First Walker was sated and wanted not. But still he was lonely, and desired someone to speak with. So he forged from the Earth the first Ogre, the Great Amun, and the first Rhinoceros for him to ride, and breathed into Amun the breath of Will and Strength, so that Amun would have these. And Amun and the First Walker were in good company, and roamed the Earth, naming the beasts and the plants and feasting on those beasts that were wholesome."
"One day, Amun was out walking, and grew hungry. So he rode his rhinoceros, and caught many animals, but the earth was then plentiful, so he tossed the carcasses where he ate. From these carcasses spawned the other races of the Earth, the Men and the Elves, and the Dwarves, and all the other races. And Amun was pleased with this, for all these races were wholesome to feast upon, and he gorged himself for a thousand years more."
"However, the other races grew faster than he could eat them, and soon the land risked despoliation. Amun spoke to the First Walker, and said unto him, "The delicious races spawn faster than I may, and I cannot eat them all. Soon they risk destruction by their own numbers, and then they will all starve. The First Walker took pity upon Amun, and said to him, "I shall cause my spirit to merge with yours, so that you may too create and make. And every year in the spring, you shall cause spores to flow off your skin, and if they land in fertile ground they shall grow into your Ogres and they shall be your children. And the First Walker did this thing, and so it was that the First Walker departed from the Earth and into our spirits."
"And so Amun spawned, and so did his spawnlings, and his spawnling's spawnlings, and the Ogres became as a great tribe. And they learned the ways of fire, and the ways of metal, and the ways of the rune-writing, and they made the Brogher Mountains their home, and feasted on the flesh of the delicious races. But all this is another story, Spawnlings."
