Stonegard is the capital of a Dwarven empire that has dominated the Iron Range since the dawn of time.AIM-54 said:The map seems a bit incomplete, but I suppose you just scanned the one page?
I figured I came from Stonegard. But I'll bite as to where we're starting. So, where are we starting?
Check out the town of Fallmarsh on the map link. That sounds like it's just what you're looking for.AIM-54 said:In the line of world-building, I'd like to propose a city built in a swamp, with buildings on stilts, and where small boats are the primary form of transport between buildings or clusters of buildings. It might be inaccessible without some form of water transport, perhaps built thusly for defensive purposes (or at least to make it harder to find).
Duriniel is, indeed, the chief god of the pantheon for both Dwarves and Warforged. However, some among the warrior caste venerate Tyriel, one of Duriniel's brothers. Tyriel is the god of war, valor, strategy, and cleverness - obviously, someone that a warrior can understand. For dwarves, Tyriel is the second-most worshipped deity, after Duriniel.AIM-54 said:Awesome write-up Kennon. I take it Duriniel, thus, is who the Dwarves consider the "main" god of the pantheon. Is there another deity a dwarven of the warrior caste might also worship more along the lines of a militant god (as I recall Duriniel is more a Hephaestus than an Ares), or does he fulfill that role for the Dwarves as well?
Asking me what might be apropriate is also perfectly acceptable. I am happy to "point you in the right direction."The_Universe said:On another note, where do you all think your characters are "from?" Some of these places are sort of obvious; Nikhil and Jeremiah's characters are probably both from somewhere in the Dwarven regions, while Liz's character likely calls one of the southern regions home. Is where they were born different from the place they have more recently called home?
Feel free to describe these places in generalities, and I will try to adjust/fill in as much as is possible.
