Hey C'nor, could you please free up some space in your private messages in/out boxes?
Done. Not that it's much space, but there is some now.

As for Xia trying to get rid of Arlom... he's the concept of "city" - I think she will find that difficult. At least he's being really really nice about it
Bryn, what exactly are the Laws and the Land of the Dying? I just want to make sure I don't step on any toes. I was actually planning on making the Underlife something similar to what you did I think, an underground plain with connections to the mortal plains (but the connections would be portals which the dead souls I plan on gathering there would be unable to utilize, whereas the living and servants of Ensirex to come would be able to use)

Just thought about something and I have some ideas for the future.
We each make a "school" of magic that draws from the power of our respective suns. Vylcent's solar based magic is going give the power of flight and teleportation to those who practice it. Bonuses: Practitioners of his magic will be able to approach and be relatively near the Green Sun without being harmed and they will also be able to survive in space.
Vylcent is going to go for Knowledge (Enlightenment) as his 4th or 5th Domain. First he's going to create a Monument that if you meditate in, things are revealed to you pieced together from things that you know. (Basically a meditation aid or sorts) The rest of the AP actions for that Domain are not quite decided upon yet.
Pretty soon I'm going to have the Green Sun orbit around the two other Suns in that second suggested orbit.
Vylcent is going to try and get along with all the other gods, regardless of whether or not they like him.
(Far Future) Eventually, Vylcent is going to want to meet The Creator
Edit: Vylcent may or may not eventually start breaking the fourth wall.

@ Chris: I don't even know if contacting the Creator is possible. But I think it'd be very interested for your character to meet it. Though, the Creator is neither god, evil, lawful, chaotic, or neutral. It is all things at once, as well as nothing. It's... hard for us humans to grasp as a concept.

And by extension, it's hard for Vylcent to grasp as a concept, but that's why Vylvent wants to meet him.

Acantheis really doesn't like MYSTERY or ADVENTURE or helping out random mortals huh? Interesting. (and yes he changes all the time when you're not looking (he's the city version of a weeping angle)).
Edit: btw now that people shadows rip apart if you try to leave the city, Arlom is not going to trap people in the city anymore. You're free to use the city and his doors as telportation as long as you're okay with your shadow being ripped from you. This also leads to a group of people on all three worlds who have been to Arlom, are shadowless and know some of his secrets. Not really a cult, but people on the fringes of society who are in the know... due to them being weird and suffering the effects of having no shadow, they increasingly become dangerous and more inquisitive of the city. Eventually they will become servants of separate fears of the city (who haven't been introduced, just referenced to). So eventually there will be a group who follow the Librarian who kidnap children, etc. Arlom himself does nothing to stop them or help them. outside spreading his doors, he is pretty neutral.

He likes mysteries just fine. But he didn't come for a mystery and this is seriously cutting into his much more important research. He's trying to be polite, but considers the treatment he's been getting to be the equivalent of flipping off your neighbor for asking you not to mow the lawn at 6 am because you work Friday nights.

So he's decided not to play Arlom's game.
Shame. It wasn't a game, it was Arlom trying to help the poor fellow out, you were to be his companion and savior. The lesson was not meant for you, but for him. Oh well

I refer you to Acantheis's alignment. He's a pleasant fellow, but Arlom is a god and he can use his big boy words next time he wants something.
(Which is probably what I'm going to be spending my next 4 AP on come rollover. We'll see,)
EDIT: To be clear, the Denizens are mortals correct? They're not gods or pieces of a god in any way?

He's been using big boy words all the time - but for example his words in the beginning of the game were only understood by his brothers - only crazy people and eldritch Horrors understand the language of the streets. It's not his fault you didn't know how to read the architecture or speak window/door

The ones you met so far; yes, not even mortals - pieces of mortals - they aren't their own race or species or whatever. The other mysterious named denizens, with a lowercase d are .... well... you'll see.

In this case, Big boy words means "Hey, you should help this guy out... you scratch my back, I scratch yours." not constantly manipulating the environment around a person to enforce an undesired action.
As far as Acantheis is concerned, Arlom is acting like a spoiled child. And if there's one thing I learned you don't do from my child psychology classes, its that you don't indulge a spoiled child.
Acantheis came here to quickly solve a matter, he has many important things he'd much rather be doing right now. And he's said as much to Arlom on multiple occasions. So Acantheis considers Arlom's actions to be incredibly rude.

Fair enough. I'm going for the usual eldritch horror blue and orange mentality. He's a city, he thinks differently. He's the god of unease, entrapment, strangeness and the sense of being lost. He's the god of feeling constantly under surveillance and that nagging feeling that you're under somebody's control. He is the god of the many secrets within the city, the sense of adventure and entertainment, the sense of elation at being somewhere new. He is the god of mystery and Noir. Adventures and chance encounters. Doors and fear.
So of course he will only communicate with you by leading you places and being indirect. It's just how he is
edit:
@ Snowfire...slightly confused ,... how did a ship vanish or go fast enough to eject a shadow inside it outside. They aren't three dimensional creatures... or creatures... they are literally shadows. A god may peel them and make them 3d but I truly don't understand what happened. Also refer to PM...

I understand the feeling you're going for and I certainly appreciate the effort you're putting into it, you're doing a great job of conveying that.
At some point I will take up that mantle and go on an adventure within The City, but now is not that time and Acantheis is not the character for that scenario. He's too much of a Staunen to be afraid

Also now that I think about it Arlom can't really be described as evil also - just alien. Also wouldn't matter where you went the Aberrant Council will follow.
