I have reflected Belsheroth's mistakes in my domain acquisitions. Read them, and you'll know everything.

Nothing further will be said on the matter.

And I've removed my comments regarding Kiloasa and Belsheroth.

And I've said I'm not going to say anything on the matter. The entire.

But I will say this:
The original system of the Afterlife has no arbitration or judgement.
Belsheroth was a guide only. Sometimes he talked to the dead, mostly, he did not.
I did not lie when I said the system lacked flaws. You died, and were taken to a place of eternal rest.

The idea of judgement came about because of the actions of others. And then matters became complex and Belsheroth's simple system was changed. In fact, I should include that in his "Will" that he's writing.
But I won't because everyone will attack his beloved Forests.
It's supposed to be a rest home, not a fortress!

And now, all matters are closed.

Yeshon, did Sophia kill a Raven-kin? I was under the impression Sophia had killed a ravenkin in the city but I can't find the post now.

Hipho · 10-09-2012, 08:21 AM

All the gods argue and fight and bicker and what does Yohalles do? Sleep through most of it.

Sortve ironic.

planswalker · 10-09-2012, 08:24 AM

question: has anyone created anything ent-like yet?

C'nor · 10-09-2012, 08:29 AM

The Woden, perhaps? They're more humanoid, and much smaller, but they are tree-people.

There are also some Elementals among the Changelings with Wood as their element, but the same thing applies to them.

planswalker · 10-09-2012, 08:32 AM

and the Woden were Kiloasa's creations, right? hm... I think Graiah might just contact them about following a new purpose...

and, of course, create among them some Spore-infused members who end up growing 30 feet tall.

C'nor · 10-09-2012, 08:42 AM

Indeed they were. Though I think Kipt has most of them now. (And if you like, feel free to do the same to a few of the Changelings who got caught on the mortal world after the barrier went up. I think it might be interesting to have a few thirty-foot tall madmen with a grudge against the Fae running around.)

planswalker · 10-09-2012, 08:47 AM

heh, can do.

in that case, Avocado, would you be okay with Antheima just leading a sect of Woden away to focus specifically on encouraging the growth and use of Green Life or would you rather Graiah asked Kipt's permission IC to use some of them?

mystic1110 · 10-09-2012, 09:19 AM

Wow... a powerful ancient god intentionally punishing himself? Deja vu.

Not that I remember, I assumed Profanti had killed a random Ravenkin knight.

Hipho · 10-09-2012, 09:22 AM

Hey Mystic, I'd be very interested in doing something or other with Yohalles and Wigbach. Maybe they could have a nice calm discussion?

mystic1110 · 10-09-2012, 09:42 AM

Certainly - but as I said in another thread I'm really busy today - so if you post referring to me...ill respond around 10/11 EST. Sorry :(

I remember that. The icy mirror thing in the deepest part of Hell wasn't it?

Followed by sticking said mirror in Islanoff's hood, yes.

His choice, not mine. I wanted to use that mirror for something else, but he stole it.

And now Gwyn's using it as a shield, i believe

I had thought Sophia had killed a ravenkin in the city (falsely as it turns out) and it was supposed to be them. Profaniti wouldn't kill a ravenkin knight (at least because the Knights work for the Imposter, who might be evil, but would probably be pissed if Profaniti is going around killing his troops)

Yeshon · 10-09-2012, 01:29 PM

@Mynxae: Just after Isanloff died.

@L_A: Hmm, then how do you want to handle this? She could always be an illusion and then Profanti tries to convince her she killed the ravenkin in cold blood.

@HT: In reference to the Doctor, I think we agreed on the next one.

Lord_Asmodeus · 10-09-2012, 01:34 PM

I was thinking it could be a convincing puppet, and/or Profaniti could try and convince Sophia she only thought she had left that Ravenkin, and had instead killed her, or that somehow the Doctor had convinced her he or she hadn't so she would stay focused.

I think that Woden are kind of like wood people in name alone. Sort of like how humans are corn people according to the Mayan mythology. Elric may correct me on that one since he created them. Other than that, yeah, you IC without asking Kipt. He took them as followers, but he doesn't like them nearly as much as his Elthiens.

They are actually all sort of refugees right now, and would probably be very receptive to a god coming and taking some of them. None of them are on the First World either, so Graiah could show up, and say "hey guys, follow me if you want cool ent-powers!" In religion they are divided anyways between worshipers of Kipt, cultists who still worship Kiloasa, and atheists. Druidism is well established, and exists in five schools right now. The Woden are lead by a council of six people with one member representing each school. In the future, I was going to have the Cultists move in to the forest on the eastern continent, Rangers (Elthiens that live with Woden) stay on the moon, several Woden stay with the Lloyas, and create a new land for the followers of Kipt. The later being the ones who breed with Elthiens to make Elves.

planswalker · 10-09-2012, 02:24 PM

wait, I'd thought the Woden had been involved in the war in the north. I take it they've since left the material world?

I did make the woden, and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions regarding their biology, although their culture seems to have changed a lot since I last played them. Is there something specific you wanted to know?

Mostly, I just want to know what they look like and how tall they are.

A difficult question. They're all shapeshifters to a degree. Probably a combination of these images:

Image 1

Image 2

They look like they're made out of wood, and they're born from "seeds". But all Woden have inherent druid abilities, one of which is shapeshifting. They typically have humanoid body forms but bestial faces and claws. Their height is highly variable, but they're typically above 6'.

sounds like teaching them how to boost their own life force and manipulate other things to grow bigger, faster, stronger would appeal to them.

They kind of already do that... it's part of being a druid. There are plenty of ambitious druids out there though, and if you can offer them a boost to their abilities they'd probably take you up on it.

I was planning on gathering some of them for Nettal to use, since he was far and away the greatest mortal druid since Thornne. And the only reason Thornne was better was because he tamed a dragon.

Druids may do some manipulations of that, but my idea is to make the specialist experts who focus on nothing else...

edit: also, Nettal is a complete and total ass. just saying.

I'll see if I can dig up an old post I wrote about druidism and show it to you. I'm not sure what exactly the differences between the two would be, so I don't want to say anything concrete just yet.
