[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 2418628, member: 19990"] [b](Discussion) Enworld Physics and World Concept[/b] Oestensibly, this thread was all about Enworld as a location, or more specifically, Enworld cosmology. Even more specifically, Enworld cosmopachydermology. :) First we have garyh's description of Enworld: [INDENT]Enworld travels on the back of a giant elephant named Enworphant, which marches through the cosmos. The sun and moon are birds that accompany Enworphant on his journey. The stars are brightmoths, insects that are eated by the sunbird.[/INDENT] The following facts:[list] [*]If somebody falls of the edge of Enworld, he ends up in an outer plane. [*]Enworphant is androgynous and immortal. [/list] And Lichtenhart's description of the flow of time on Enworld: [INDENT]Time flows because Enworphant eternally walks. Should it ever stop, everything would freeze in a stillness of death. As it walks, with every little step it takes reality vibrates, and it sends slow waves of time upon Enworld. On Enworld's surface these waves collide, creating small ripples in the tissue of time. Wherever smaller crests rise, time starts flowing faster; wherever they ebb, time slows as the place is slowly left behind. Wha do you think of it? We could use this in many ways, ther could be enchanted forests where you go to be forgotten by the world, and busy cities whose artisans deliver craft in half the time, and also it would save us lots of headaches calculating if an adventurer can be back from his adventure to the tavern on the 3rd rather than the 5th of october.[/INDENT] And two more interesting Enworld facts:[list] [*]Enworld has global seasons. [*]Enworld, as it rides on the back of Enworphant, is in the shape of a hexagon. An elemental tower is at each point of the hexagon, and Orussus is at the very middle. [/list] Finally, there is this description of the Empire of Carduth by Uriel that seems to have just snuck in here: [I]Empire of Carduth[/I] Massive Empire located East of Orassiss, on the other side of the Bainlund Hills and the Stonepike Mountains. Currently expanding Westwards...perhaps 150 to 200 miles east of Orassis, [I]for now...[/I] Roman Empire on Steroids, Legions backed by Wizards,air calvary (hippogryph);largest land army on ENWorld, though they are spread out in many locations. The force arrayed against Bainlund and Stonepike is rumoured at 10,000...while the Bainlunders have barely 3,000 career soldiers and Stonepike half that (1700 or so). Not an [I]Evil[/I] Empire specifically, but an expansionist one that seeks to subjegate and/or assimilate those on it's borders. The last great expanding of Carduth was nearly 40 years ago, when they annexed the Sultanate of Gallipona, a desert dwelling land of spices and horse traders to the South of Carduth. Carduth is at odds with Herdrallia to the North (Goths/Celts), and seeks alliance withn Rivenblight against that Realm of barbarians. So far, none has manifested except in the most vague of ways, and always to the Elves' advantage. [/QUOTE]
