Well, it's worth looking at the physicality of the Axis Ritual, per Book 10. At the Axis Ritual site are 8 vertical pits, 5ft wide and 50ft deep. 'The Ob bent the rules a bit, and in the alcove of the shaft for the plane of space they shoved a second small icon representing Baden, the ghost moon...

Moon v Planet is relevant if you are going by a rule where players can swap in X planets and Y moons. If you decide not to go with MAP in Act 3, that's fine. There are a few planes that need to be in place for Act 3. Ratios is Gidim-infested and their way onto the world, thus Ratios needs to be...

As stated in that thread, my justification for the Ob using Gyre planes is speed-of-light delay. The Ob are using asteroids of far-off planes they are magically studying, not realising that those planes have actually been Gyred already. Perfectly fine that you want to go in a different...

-Lylandra Oh yeah, we have much less information on Elfaivaran and Clergy society pre-Malice. Something that interests me is the possible-Triegenes empire that likely stretched from Danor, across Drakr to Crisillyir, the greatest the world has ever known. -Ryan An subtlety of book I like is...

Actually you're wrong there, Lylandra. Book 8 repeats several times that Kasvarina had many husbands. In the book, the party meets two of them- Asrabey and Bhalu. There may very well have been more. Crisillyir/the Clergy definitely does give off the vibe of being the not-Catholic Church, and at...

Arcaneshield, I certainly am not trying to slap a definitive 'sexist' label on either you or Thursty. Of Thursty, I think he leapt to an idea he thought was cool, 'elf slaves', and didn't spend enough time thinking out or fleshing out the underlying worldbuilding. I think he's a cheeky rascal...

-Arcaneshield 'The ruling minority still have to answer to the males of their society who greatly outnumber them'- actually, I very much disagree with this, which feeds into my criticisms of Book 8 Elfaivar. The enclaves are hidden away in demiplanes, and enclave matriarch wield some of the...

-Arcaneshield Zeitvice does focus on what I consider to be the flaws and holes of the AP, so it can come across as pretty cutting and condemning. My introduction still stands, however- I think this is the greatest AP ever written. I just think it still embodies the core flaws of AP design, such...

Yeah, my party ran into this problem. Best solution: the PCs can use Kell's information to perform a brief set-up infiltration with a small number of operatives, so that the larger assault with Asrabey can better succeed when the King can send a larger force into the Bleak Gate at a later date...

If you can point to facts I've gotten wrong or weak interpretations of how Book 8 ties in to the rest of the AP, please do let me know.

Per Book 12, the party might learn his true name from Book 8, or Kasvarina can tell them, or linking with Ascetia will tell them automatically. If your party hasn't figured it out in Book 8 then they must have missed a lot of memories, including Pala, which isn't ideal.

Zeitvice has been updated to cover Book 8. As ever, please let me know if I have misremembered or misunderstood anything in Book 8, or if there are any other parts of the book you think I should include.

Crispy, it looks like you're referring to this building in Book 5: Pemberton Industries Office Building. This squat complex once served as a testing ground for the discredited Pemberton Industries’ experiments with personal arcanoscientific devices. Now it is locked and lightly guarded until...

I've had another casual read through Book 8, I might get another Zeitvice section going.

Yes, I am definitely an artist, and certainly not a madman with access to photoshop and anime picture boorus. Well done. Your odyssey is almost complete.

I don't use music very much, but I did use The Dream of Flight to start off the campaign. Seemed quite suitable for Zeit's industrial revolution setting, and for the opening scene of the flagship being launched.

My theory is that the demons were former invader Golden Legion devils leftover on Lanjyr after the Axis Ritual. From book 12 we know that the Legion use gold to convert humans and outsiders into devils. After the Ritual the gold transmutation wore off, the devils turned back into their original...

Let's see. His older sister could be a disciple of Nevard Sechim. When the old man dies, she takes over as respected Skyseer, and serves as a prophecy/druidism mouthpiece through the rest of the campaign. His fey double could, like Copperhead, have fallen in with the Voice of Rot. Tying the...

I dig your Terry (Terakalir) interpretation. Kept in a lava complex with gnolls who worship you as a God, an absent megalomaniac father- it would definitely make you pretty unhinged. If I were to run it again, I would definitely include that aspect- but i personally would still make them...

Speculating as to the true identity and history of their grandmaster. Discussing how they were assigned a cell of Vekeshi asssasins to help with their local problems. Talking shop about the extraordinary research they are completing into technology, history and magic. You should be able to mix...
