Zharrad- Are you sure you got a good title? Personally, I find sexual attraction to a computer game to be slightly scarry.

The last scenario with an intact Empire should take place in 1872. The last Echoes scenario takes place in 1889. I have yet to make it, though. :( -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Q:Where did the name "Ermarian" come from? Who made it up, cos it definitely wasn't in any of the main "canon" games as far as I know. A: Ask an older member of the Arena. Q: Is Exile/Avernum part of Ermarian or does it count as a separate world? What about Vahnatai lands? A: As we found out in Exile 1, Exile and the surface are actually connected (it's one of the three "major" quests). And as we found out in Exile 2, there is a physical route to the Vahnatai lands. Therefore, we can safely assume that all of them are on the same planet. Q:Can someone make a similar timeline for Exile? (Has it been made?) A: Making a timeline for Exile would be pointless, because you'd only have one ruler (Micah). Q: Does Exile still exist at the time of AtG or Echoes? Has it become a completely Vahnatai (or similar) land? A: During Echoes? I don't really care, and Stareye's scenarios say that the Sliths hold alot of Exile, so I'll just go with that. Q: In TM's version of the world do the elves still exist in the North continent? A: Elves have been extinct completely for thousands and thousands of years. There are none left alive on Ermarian, period. Hell, magically reviving any of them would be difficult, considering how long they've been dead. But really, what's this "North continent" you're talking about? Q: Isn't there a theory where the Vahnatai once covered the entire surface world and they created all the sentient species with their magic? A: It's a theory I don't believe in, but I doubt it matters either way. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

*sigh* Here: Ermarian Human Height: 4'-7' Weight: 100-300 lbs Eye Colors: Blue, Brown, Hazel, Green, Grey Hair Colors: Blonde, Red, Black, Brown, and Grey (although through age, not natural) Facial Features: N/A (Humans are the basic template from which comparisons are made. Ermarian Sylvian Height: 5'-7' Weight: 100-300 lbs Eye Colors: Red*, Blue, Green, Brown, Hazel (* Extremely rare. Also the eye colors of Baltimore I and Baltimore XXXVI.) Hair Colors: Black, Blonde, Brown Facial Features: Slightly hollow cheeks, varyingly pointed ears but never by more than 2 centimeters, sharper chin and nose (although weight can round out the face, as it did for many emperors including Baltimore XXXVI). Ermarian Proto-Sylvian ("Elf") Height: 6'-8' Weight: 70-150 lbs* (*Based partially on the complete lack of any agriculture/civilization) Eye Colors: Red, Black, Hazel, Green Hair Colors: Blonde, Grey, Brown Facial Features: Hollow cheeks, sharp figures that are nearly impossible to round out by weight (unlike Sylvians), pointed ears, frail figures. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Stareye- There is one odd skill I was planning to have Baltimore use in a scenario about his (and Katothen's) past, whenever I was to get around to making it. That is, Sword Magic. Balathermo was a sword mage. What does this mean? He knows two spells- Soul Augment, and Soul Disengage. The first places some of his life force in a specially-designed sword, giving the sword an ability (beefed-up stats, defense, fireballs, etc.). The second ends the effects of the first, and gives Baltimore some of his life force back. You could have this be a skill of Aizoan emperors. (I'm itching to make a scenario with sword magic in it.) The doomsday weapon/artifact (if you need one)? A Soulsword (a sword capable of Soul Augment) that casts a nuclear blast. More than enough of a threat. :P Elves are extinct. They weren't the arrogant, elder race you're all used to from Tolkien. They were proto-Sylvian, frail cavemen who beat each other around with sticks. They were also genetically inferior, which is why most of the human genomes swallowed them up. The only person who still knows that the elves existed was Icabod. Of course, while Sylvian genes are dominant, the fact that most Sylvians with the exception of Katothen, Baltimore and very few others actually made it off of Vantanas means that the sheer numbers ensure that humans will outnumber Sylvians by a longshot. Of course, because most Imperial nobility is 100% Sylvian, this also means that all Emperors up to Hawthorne III. were Sylvian. Not that it makes a difference, because Sylvians and humans can reproduce together, and are extremely close to each other anyway. The only people on Ermarian who can tell apart the differences between Sylvians and Humans are the only people who call the language spoken by the Empire "Lower Takmannean" (again, B2 beta-testers should know what I'm getting at here). Along the lines of the Empire collapsing- Well, eh. The Arena already has a few conditions of collapse that I've had to edit Echoes to (Doston's rising after the First Cataclysm being one). I'm not sure that anyone else has really commented with any other suggestions for the collapse of the Empire, and it's not like I didn't leave enough time (+2000 years, if you count Aizo) for scenarios. Point is, the Arena exists, and it exists after the Empire's collapse. Some explanation is indeed necessary, and I tackled this one head-on, because I saw nobody else in sight going after it. About the Vantanasian Map: You see that concave curve in the NW corner of the continent? That used to be where N. Vantanas used to be. It's basically a large continent approx. 2/3 the size of Australia. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Calling an amulet a "Sylvian Amulet" is like calling an amulet the "Human Amulet". Sylvians are still an existant species. :P (Especially in the 1870s, when the Empire is controlled by one.) I suppose that this archmage could be a remnant from the anti-Solar league of Blackrock. But then again, I severely doubt that any of you would know what that is. I'll give a brief (although far from complete, and rightfully so- that's part of the core story of Echoes) history of the Sylvians. Years -100,000 through -80,000: Vantanas is covered in Elves, which apart from being completely unrecorded, are also considered to be the proto-form of Sylvians. Humans are only barely beginning to evolve. Years -80,000 through -50,000: The northern half of Vantanas where most humans are begins to split. Interbreeding between humans and elves prove quite rapidly that certain genomes will become dominant very quickly, eventually resulting in a new, nearly homogeneous specie that produces its own offspring from both human and elven seed. Around year 60,000, N. Vantanas has split completely from S. Vantanas, forming two seperate continents. (N. Vantanas has yet to be re-discovered, and is also known as TMU, which the B2-betatesters would recognize.) Around year 50,000, genetic diseases and more-dominant Sylvian/Human genes have swallowed up the elven population to the point of extinction. At this point, the average Sylvian is 90-70% human, 10-30% elven. Rakshasi have completed their evolution towards the east, with the Sylvians taking up most of the west. Years 50,000-1,000: Small communities and tribes form. No language, very little evolution. Seismic activity on the half of Vantanas that isn't TMU is close to none. TMU is firmly in its place, wedged between the tremendous Doston and Pralgad/N. Valorim tectonic plates. Year -500: Rakshasi form Tanmaii De (the Rakshasic language- I'm actually working on making it) and Rak De (It means "The people are" in Tanmaii De. Quite literally, its the name of their nation in its primitive form) in -450. Sylvians form Ylondiac, the primitive name of their loose, tribal congregation, in -350. The city of Blackrock is formed, and a crude language is invented. Year -200: Rakshasi are forced into the cavernous universe of Arngoth by the Dragon Shale in -224. Wasazore, Vic Sniper and Ezekiel crash-land on TMU and form a civilization in -217. Wasazore is ousted from leadership in -192, the Great Emmigration follows in -191. Humans on TMU (aka "N. Vantanas", the continent seperated ~60,000) land on Vantanas in -190 and fail to create a civilization. Humans land on Pralgad and Doston in -189, the latter fails. Humans land on Aizo and Valorim in -188, the latter fails. Pralgad and Aizo are in states of relative chaos, with multiple powerful lords claiming territory and fighting amongst themselves. Rebellion in Blackrock breaks out in -178, when the underground organization called the Anti-Solar League commits terrorism in the headquarters of the Solar Order, a prominent religious institution among Sylvians. A ritual is disrupted on a fluke by a seven-year old apprentice of a powerful yet obscure mage. The mage named Balathermo and his apprentice flee the Order, and Vantanas. It is rumored that perhaps others from the Anti-Solar League may have escaped the Order, but this is as of yet unconfirmed. Balathermo manages to escape via boat to Aizo in -177, where his name is slowly turned into Baltimore. His apprentice also made it to Aizo, but he disappeared shortly after the rebellion in Blackrock and didn't make it to Aizo with Baltimore. Nobody knows what happened to him to this date. (A cookie goes to whoever knows the name of Baltimore's former-apprentice.) Baltimore spends the following 32 years trying to unite the factions on Aizo before finally succeeding and crowning himself Emperor. (Yeah. That was the brief history. :P ) ---- The collapse of the Empire in Echoes pretty much smashes any hopes of the Empire continuing as-we-know-it. Aizo is completely destroyed, and nothing lives on it. Doston was purposefully lowered into the ocean, and everyone on it was drowned. The capital of the Empire (Solaria) was destroyed, along with all of the other large cities on Pralgad. Valorim is, well, mostly destroyed as well. And Vantanas is at the center of where the collapse comes from. Some people survive, enough so that Ermarian isn't doomed. But any power the Empire may have had is either smashed, or is heavilly reduced, and scattered among the remaining power-hungry Dervishes.
