Darklord I hope you didn't miss my continuation of the Kor stuff.
Oh and Mystic, since Alorm is any city, that includes cities the mortals make for themselves right? I mean the Brothers sank Veta because it was made by Alorm and people disappeared in it, but if the Humans make another city, won't it have the same problems?

Vylcent knew this... didn't really want to believe it, but now he has to accept it so now some long term mortal-enacted solutions to that are coming up!
Edit: In the form of constant band-aid type application

Yes, I think OoC the ChrisClark knew that, but OoC his god had no idea.
I'm thinking the problem with Veta, from the VBros perspective, wasn't so much that it was taking citizens (although I'm sure that's part), but that it was unnatural, sprang up without aid, and was blatantly the work of some powerful being. And it became a capital.
Bharus has the same issues with karlik and Kopyem Goroda, but....he's tiiiiiiiiiiiiiired

You know, if you bring Xia to the Asteroid-Continent, you're going to draw the Ire of Gjol Maduur, and he's not a very forgiving god (As evidenced by his promise to repay Velharan and Valmyr for the insult of not accepting his yield.)

Not at all. And I agree, early game seems to be highly AP starved. In fact, most of the games I've started have included an AP boost in the first week or so to get the universe more fleshed out quicker.

While I appreciate both sides of the argument (much as I understand why Arlom is taking my beautiful Frost Giants and Dwarves ), I kindof like where it could go. I mean, at worst... it attacks a god, the god see that mortal race is trying to hurt us, we stomp it into goo. And for eons to come, the surviving races tell this story:
"In ancient times, when the world was new, when the Sun Gods sank the mystic city of Veta and the races were young...the Steelthorns came. Forged by the Lady of Pain and her Sister Xia, they came in a Godkilling castle from the sky. They said the gods had overstepped their bounds, had tormented and abused the mortals of the world.
And so the Gods had to die.
The Gods, some fearing for their grip on mortality, some fearing for their own safety, and some merely wishing to end a nuisance before it became a reckoning, ended the war before it began, scattering the pieces of the Halycon Fortress, and striking the Steelthorns low.
Some gods sued for mercy, placing the blame of the Sister Goddesses. Some called for the Sisters to be absolved, and the Steelthorns destroyed as an example.
Some called for trial, some for exile.
In the end, The Steelthorns were stricken from existance, and the Sisters pardoned.
But legends say, little one, that some Steelthorns were not present when the Gods punished them. Some say they were scattered with the pieces of the Halycon Fortress, and that they wait for the day when they can rise up, and End the Gods.
Now go to bed, it's late."
As much as I like it, there's again the issue that...well...the Steelthorns don't want the Gods dead. They just want them their power to be balanced against that of mortals. Now yes, the hard way to do that is to kill them. But the easy way involves getting the Gods to willingly limit their own powers and enhancing the mortals.
They'd really, really prefer the easy way. The Starlances etc. are in case they have to go the hard way

Fat Chance.

I'm going to have to second Darklord's response. Arathor, at least, would quite literally rather die than limit his own power. Especially if all the argument that can be mustered for why he should is 'for the benefit of the mortals'.
And hey, if he can't personally defeat the ship and its gods outright by himself, well, he has a solution to that. Namely, hide in a mortal population, and see how much collateral damage the Steelthorns are willing to accept to get to him.

They're changes right? The Denizens don't like changes, so the crystals would attract them in that sense. I'm planning to get some more mileage out of the crystals next rollover as well.

True - but the shadows aren't stupid. I'll allow around half of the shadows to return to their people, but the other half are now avoiding the crystals, slowly driven mad by their irregularities, while the victims of Arlom begin to understand that the crystals are "safe zones"

In which case they will enhance mortal kind to the best of their ability to balance his actions. If that fails however, then and only then will they act to forcibly limit his abilities.
And I have to ask. If they won, would he agree to their terms? Or would they just have to kill him?

I'd have to say that Gjol Maduur would rather tear apart the ship and scatter the pieces than allow the Halcyon to become a threat.

Hey instead of talking about what characters might possibly do in the IC thread, let's all go over to the IC thread and find out what they actually do!
Sorry I need Chris to clarify and agree to the effects of the Crystals so I can act it out IC... btw Elricaltovilla you're either going to be involved in a Cthulu type mystery tour of the city and it's society of victims and shadows OR you can be a god and do whatever you want - up to you
I think that's going with the assumption that they're already a threat.
Snowfire:
Might Alynaia borrow two AP from her sister, for purposes of hiding the Halcyon?

Well since I'm kind of AP-less right now I can't really do a lot of God stuff. But I can totally start busting you up

Even better - would you be okay, not being able to leave with your own power given that Arlom is a sanctum, you go on this adventure... and then you get your power back and you decide to do want you want from there
I think you either misunderstood what I said, or meant that they're NOT already a threat.
By the way, Demigods can only be made from legends, which are made from heroes. Just notifying you.
They're not now, but I think that Snowfire's question was relying on them already being a threat, which would mean that tearing them apart before they became one would be... Difficult, at best.
And how would one go about converting an artifact into a hero, anyway? Somehow I doubt that falls under the 1 AP subaction to change one you made....

It depends on how they went about it, really. And precisely what the terms are. Odds are, if you could beat Arathor into submission he'd yield and agree to whatever terms were presented to him. He's a wild beast, after all, and proof of dominance is hard to for him to resist.
Of course, being a wild beast and Chaotic Evil besides, chances are he'll stay bound by those terms for precisely as long as he feels the Steelthorns and/or the responsible gods are strong enough to enforce them, and not an instant longer.
And in-character, I'm still waiting for a response to Arathor seeking out one of the gods of the sun. He asked a question, after all
