[QUOTE="JohnBiles, post: 5122466, member: 63128"] My Amber campaign had huge amounts of world building over the course of three campaigns set in it, some of it in play, some of it invented in advance. A lot of the game revolved around uncovering ancient lore and the past in order to deal with the legacy of that past. This led to a glossary developed by one player, who read over all the game logs and teased out all the lore he could. Entries like: [B]RUNES, SIDAR:[/B] The written characters of the high Sidar language, Sidar Runes exist in multiple dimensions at once. Some of these dimensions no longer exist post-collapse. Modern scholars who wish to read them must first train themselves to see into these other dimensions, then figure out what the missing dimensions are. This is said to be somewhat akin to trying to watch a foreign language TV Show that has separate parts on 10 TV sets simultaniously, with some of the sets turning off at random intervals. Worse, there were 47 different forms of runes. Needless to say, only truly dedicated scholars try to learn it. As if that weren't enough, according to Chloe and Setsuna some of the runes are carnivorous. Kuonji is said to own a an apron with a particularly vicious inscription. Other examples of Sidar Runes specifically mentioned are the writing on the [I][B]Arch of Revolution[/B][/I] and a locket owned by Random. [I]*Mentioned throughout the game, detailed discussion occuring in F9R between Setsuna, Chloe, and Suzuka at Minor's birthday party.[/I] They plundered Sidar ruins, found a prison full of artificial gods created by the Sidar and so on.
