Mountain of Shadows RP: the sequel in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, March 13 2007 11:12 Profile Homepage #52 OoC: Pardon the double post... and before we close this out: quote: Originally written by Frozen Feet: I have an itch that this RP will become long and successful... Amen to that... great job, everyone. IC: It was dark. Very dark. Sequoia had a vague idea of which way was up, so he used the broken halves of his staff to dig his way out of the snow. Eventually, the druid was rewarded by the sight of a clear, star-filled night sky. No storms, no ominous peaks blocking out the light, and no wolves. In celebration, he took a handful of snow and shoved it into his parched mouth. Then, when his eyes had taken in the entire sky, Sequoia turned his attention to the shattered caldera that he sat in. Some of the mountain's power still throbbed within his mind, but it was slowly draining away. Sequoia could dimly sense some of his fellow travelers, but he could not figure out where they were, or if they were alive. But if nothing else, at least the lights inside the druid's head had faded, and ice no longer formed in his wake. The burning sensation he had felt along every inch of nerve and muscle was also gone. There was just soft, cool snow. And none of it was tainted. ---------- Epilogue ---------- While it is acknowledged that many legends surround the infamous Mountain of Shadows, most contemporary scholars believe them to be the product of political mudslinging and misguided fantasies. The very idea that the noble and brilliant King Albert would squirrel away the kingdom's riches in a desolate mountain is simply unacceptable. Even more impossible is the idea that the wise and powerful king would be defeated by one insolent demon. Some fringe researchers have inquired into the previous denizens of the mountain, but their searches have proven fruitless. In spite of their failure, they maintain that another kingdom held sway over the mountain before the beginning of Albert's rule. These unsubstantiated reports are frequently ridiculed within the academic community. The only confirmed historical events surrounding the mountain regard a group of so-called "adventurers" that attempted to scour the mountain for treasure, as "adventurers" are prone to do. Oral and written records in towns surrounding the mountain document the arrival of the "adventurers" and the eventual return of a few. Details of their trip to the mountain are often conflicting and confusing, but they frequently hinge on the presence of a massive demon who possessed the very mountain itself. Such tales are not completely outside the realm of reason, but they are frequently dismissed as stories meant to scare children. However, more interesting than the "adventurers" and their alleged exploits is the well-documented seismic event which took place near the mountain, in the time between the arrival of the "adventurers" and their departure. Later expeditions found a large caldera at the mountain's peak, supporting claims that the mountain was at one point volcanically active. In any case, many subsequent expeditions have attempted to map the system of caves that is alleged to lie beneath the caldera. These caves are mentioned in the reports of the "adventurers" and their exploits, but so far, researchers have yet to find any substantial cave systems. No artifacts of any kind have been unearthed as of yet. Strangely, several research groups have been lost while searching the mountain, but most scholars agree that this is due to the inclement weather which frequently strikes the mountain. Other possibilities include geologic instability around the caldera, owing to its relatively young age. Regardless, upon examining all of the records and evidence for both sides of the argument, I am drawn to the conclusion that the Mountain of Shadows is merely a geological oddity, instead of the legend that is quite frankly over-represented in the mythology of King Albert's time. ---Sharg Makin, abstract from master's thesis in historical archaeology -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Well, feudal systems seem to be pretty rare in Empire lands as they've been explored so far. ASR is the only exception, I think. It seems like land ownership is just kind of a "my family's been here for fifty years, so the land is mine" sort of system. There don't seem to be many large estates (except for Hawke's Manse and the dead general's home in E:R), and there's definitely a point past which most large homes become evil lairs. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

A stick just has the highest damage multiplier, so eventually it becomes the best weapon. You just need a really powerful fighter.

As for BoA... nobody's deemed them worth recreating yet. That, and most scenarios' settings don't work well with mind crystals.
