As it says in the post, it's a long read. So, find time to take a look at it.
And if you don't get it, because it's not said explicitly, these are my opinions. But I've had people from this game send me thank you messages, and talk to me about what they changed after reading it.
So read it when you can!

Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, you'll be a mile away, and have their shoes!
Jongo recommend checking your "Sent" folder of your PMs.

I had a purge there recently. I'm running a game of Braggart via PbP and it's devouring my PM box. >.< It's only now, post purge that I've realised that I deleted the first part of the descenion q. =/
And I've still got 3 horrible and unpleasant chapters to write, even if I manage to find it.

I hope that was worth the wait, ladies and gentlemen.
...shoot, I originally intended for that to grant the Love domain. But I may need something just a little extra to push it over into full domainhood. What do you guys think?

Finally got around to fleshing out Contragh's empire a bit more and the Revenants who dwell in it (Or to atleast clarify a few things). That post pretty niches tied up the second turn and will now fully bring me into the third turn where I can get real things going. If anyone has any problem with the memoir like style of the second half of the post, I apologize, I kept scrapping my attempts to write it in third person and it felt better the way it ended up, butto keep it from being a one off thing I plan on dropping two more short stories in that style down the road (Unless people really detest memoir writings).
Thanks for the advice Raz and Gengy, I had trouble really getting going with Contragh and fleshing out what I've already made has helped start a plan going in my head.

I'd just like to apologize on my silence as I tried to formulate an ascension story for Jethro, but in loo of my brainstorming, I've finally just decided to write what I think is right for my character.
As a tad bit of an apology for the long wait, I drew what I imagine Jethro looks like.
Spoiler
Post Incoming.
P.S.- I've finally settled on what exactly the Twilight is and how it relates to Nature. The twilight is simultaneously a "Quiet Lands" and a "getaway" sort to speak, for the spirits of Nature. When too oppressed by society (or any variable amount of reasons a Nature Spirit would want to get away), they come to the Twilight to replenish themselves. Also, the Twilight is their special area of reincarnation. The Twilight looks to be nature unblemished by man, pristine and wild, but ethereal at the same time. The few human souls that reside in the Nature (namely Jethro's ancestors) are so in tune with the inner workings of this land that their presence is negligible, and they're effectively spirits of Nature (albeit in humanoid form) due to their long exposure to the Twilight.
TheDarkDM: Is it desired for such a dragon to come to The Olm after Sonata leaves?

I think I'm going to have to cancel my application/submission to this campaign - the silence from the GM when I was asking what I needed to do prior to the start of the round left me unprepared for when it actually started (All the advice on how to write up an ascension-quest post would have been REALLY useful BEFORE everything started up again), and now that things are moving, I don't have the time to stay on top of the IC AND write out a post that gets me into it.

I have a question regarding Frellon, and would value the input of anyone who has an opinion. I'm on the fence myself, I could argue it either way:
Spoiler
So, one of the things I really liked about Frellon from the begining was how flexible his character concept seemed to me. I could see him developing in any number of directions, depending on how things played out.
So now I'm brainstorming, trying to decide what direction I want him to go from here, and I got an idea. I'm not saying this is what I am going to do neccessarily, but I wanted to sound it out here and see what you guys thought.
We have some pleasant and not so plesant gods, but ultimately, most all of us have been builders. Some may want to rebuild the disk in a not-so-pleasant way, but they still want to build things. Like nations of like-minded followers. No-one wants to just break things.
I realized that we don't have a god of Destruction.
So I thought to myself; "Could Frellon evolve into a god of destruction?" Well, what do heros do but destroy the villain? Think of that as the gate-way drug, if you will. He still is the god of honor, that would just mean that he generally aims to destroy targets it is honorable to destroy. I could even take destruction as the literal oposite of creation, with Frellon using 'destruction magic' to dismantal his enemies on a microscopic level.
What I'm really asking is: Do you think this within the realm of believability for his character, or am I thinking wishfully?

@Shorewood- I'm ready to head over at the call, but I dont see the call in the IC thread. Did I miss something?
Yeah it was hidden in the middle of one of my larger posts right after turn 3 started
Spoiler
Haramhold divided his time between building the city and designing the Nexus a project which has become an obsession with him as the years progressed. Finally after a half a century it was complete. But he could not build it alone it was too great a task for his hands alone. So Haramhold sent out a call to his siblings outlining his purpose and need. It echoed in the cry of a hammer as it struck iron burning red and yellow. It wound its way into the weaving of tapestries and baskets. It could be heard in the creaking of wood as it is bent into shape. All things newly made bore the message for those with the skill or the knowledge to percieve it.

Wow wow wow. Calm down. For starters, you really didn't have to do anything for before the round started (Because your character didn't exist before the round, or atleast in any meaningful way). And now that the round has started and people are getting things going is the best time to write your ascension. Focus on that, make it shine, don't be too concerned with the others (Of course, don't just forget they exist, but you only need to know basic things or things that might correlate with your ascension). When you do come out of your ascension, THEN you can access what everyone is doing so that you may best hop in (No need to do both at the same time and overload yourself, it is better to pace yourself and to get things done rather then quit because there's too much to do in so little time).
Trust me, turns take a while, long enough for ascension quests to finish and for you to set some things up. Don't quit, just focus on your character.

One of the real strengths about this campaign is that it is temporially flexible. You don't have to be part of every plot and initially, the first turn of any god revolves around your ascenion q. The ascenion q, by and large tends to be a very personal affair.
Only once you've ascended, do you need to start worrying in detail about other people's storylines. =)

You *could* work that way, if that's what you think you want to do. The question isn't "is it believable", it's (1) "Would Dark allow it?" and (2) "Do you want to work towards that for Frellon, as a natural progression of the character?"
You should know by now that getting a second Domain is difficult. I *think* Dark may have allowed me to pick up Luck right away on turn 1, if I hadn't rethought things and re-tooled the way Jongo was headed. Now I'm working on the Name domain, and it's a slow process. Raz wants the Love domain, and even with all the imagery and amount of Love that Fayruz naturally exudes, she has not yet picked it up.
So. If you want to put in the work, and think it's the right direction for Frellon... go for it!

Ok, I *think* I understand this reaction. It's the "Turns" being talked about in da rules as a shorter period, right? Or is it that Dark takes a little bit to respond to PMs? If it's the former, don't worry much about it. Our Turns take a little while longer than you'd think. Several months, actually.
If it's the latter, just keep politely bugging him. Dark has a life that does not revolve around us. Hard to believe and accept, I know, but we have to let him out of the DM cave every once in a while to feed on the souls of the innocent, or his Dark powers won't refresh. So just keep reminding him that "Hey, I sent you a PM, what's up with that?" and he'll get to it eventually. He's pretty good about getting back to you.
As to the ascension stuff? Don't stress over it. We had people who joined after Turn 1 started (post Turn 0) and they got their ascension done just fine.
As Succubus said, time is fluid.
We'll fit you in where you need to be! Hopefully you'll choose to stay and play. But if you still feel overwhelmed, well, we thank you for your submission to the game! Please feel free to keep reading.
And... I think that covers that.

You all showed interest in participating when I posted about it previously. If you are still interested then lets get this this party started.
Could you explain again what is the Nexus?

Then you meditate under a tree for a few years, get killed by rebels, eaten by a dragon. If you don't know exactly what to write, go nuts. So long as they're some kind of connection, work with it.
