[QUOTE="Sanglorian, post: 5868973, member: 83822"] Hmm, you make a good point re: the fourth book and the rest of his work. I've heard it's quite a slog. I noticed that you added a Creative Commons licence (BY-NC-SA) to the collection. While you can certainly do that for your own contributions, it won't be valid for any parts of the setting made by other people. I think it's worth transitioning to a CC licence, but it'll involve contacting contributors and asking their permission first. I think before we do that, it would be good to discuss which licence we think is most appropriate for the setting. Personally, I think CC BY-SA is preferable to CC BY-NC-SA, and I'm happy to elaborate on why if people are interested. [B] THE FERNSBANK FOSSILS (02.10)[/B] Several miles out of Fernsbank, where a sandstone cliff rises out of the trees, an extraordinary scene is played out in stone: the skeleton of a burning eagle is frozen in battle with the exoskeleton of a grey worm. By some sorcery, both have been stripped of flesh and transformed to stone. The same skeletons are a site of pilgrimage for stone giants, and it is not unusual to find one of those solemn beings in meditation before the fossils. According to the austere and solemn teachings of the Stark Way, the bones represent the triumph of earth over both the power of fire – the burning eagle – and that of water – the grey worm. [I]Hooks:[/I] Was this a climactic elemental battle? What process turned them to stone? Where do the stone giants come from? Where can one learn the Stark Way? Is it only practiced by stone giants? [B]THE SCAB (24.05)[/B] At one point, the Welt Road widens into a kilometre-wide chamber, seemingly formed naturally out of red clay slowly hardened by the passage of time. Dotting the chamber are igloos made of clay blocks cut from the walls and floors. The gnome families who make their homes here continue to live in the igloos until they collapse, then simply cut themselves another and move in there. This long process has resulted in a treacherous passage with holes cut into the floor, igloos blocking the path and collapsed homes that must be waded through. The gnomes themselves are frequently desperate to leave their rude lives. They will offer gemstones as payment to those who smuggle them into the Shuttered city or will simply hug the undersides of night cattle and hold on as long as they can. There may be lost treasures left in collapsed igloos, since the gnomes usually consider the collapse of an igloo as a sign to start life over – even if it is a still-living spouse or child left under the collapsed clay. [I]Hooks[/I] How do gnomes make their way into the Shuttered City if they are rejected at the gate? Where do the gnomes find the gemstones? How did this gnome colony begin? What do the gnomes eat? Do some cattle get lost in the Scab? What do the gnomes do with them? Do the gnomes ever venture up into the Kingswood? [/QUOTE]
