It seems that most regulars stopped contributing last week. Quite sad.


Is there a current summation of everything to date? I think a lot of people are intimidated by the size of this thread (I know that I still have about ten pages to cover). Perhaps a summation - starting a new thread, Eyros Part II or something, would draw people in.

I've run out of stocked contributions and haven't had much time to mull over new ones. Without carefully going over all the existing contributions, there's not much more that I can readily come up with to say... except to elaborate further on my own earlier ideas, which I try to avoid.

There have been periodic summations throughout the thread, but most stuff should be at the associated wiki:

'Official' Eyros is being closed to new contributions on the 11th. I don't know if this means the thread will actually be closed. Eyros is hopefully going to get bootstrapped into a PDF publication.
 

Slightly more than mid-way down page 24 is the most recent compilation of stuff, though it only covers much of what isn't yet in the wiki. I'll re-iterate the list of stuff that I had posted, regarding what stuff still needs work. Remember that the standard contribution is just supposed to be one idea, one or two sentences. It doesn't have to be deep and involved.

We still need to flesh out more of Eyros', Nistadeen's, Xaleris', Ghalfaen's, Kwlloch's, Indracca's, and Saagersberg's history.
We still need to flesh out some NPCs for these places, and/or things going on in these places that may be of interest for DMs or players.
We still need to flesh out more of the land's geography, landmarks, strange places, terrain features, place names, city names/quirks, and the names of the darned oceans and seas that are as of yet unnamed.
We still need to flesh out more of the political agendas, events, goings-on, and such.
We still need to flesh out more of the daily life, common events, fashions, naming conventions, holidays, celebrations, ceremonies, religious institutions, and such.
We still need to come up with more historical, famous, legendary sort of figures of Eyros' past, of which various towns, monuments, buildings, fortresses, terrain features, spells, holidays, and such may be named after.
We still need to flesh out more information on the races and their places in the nations around Eyros, such as Indracca, Xaleris, Nistadeen, Ghalfaen, Saagersberg, and Kwlloch.
We still need to flesh out more of the religions outside of Eyros, and perhaps a bit more on just what the Crucible and Draconic Legacy do in Eyros proper.
We still need to describe more about the Jagged Eye, Animus, Vildaxaranthus' territory/minions, and any other secret societies, cults, rebellions, and so on.
Folks might still also contribute something about Orrukar, Mo'ahhim, Nientei, O'hoa'ti'neumas, the mysterious fog-shrouded western isle, or the Nistadeeni-discovered far-southern desert land of thri-kreen and such. Or any of the barbarian tribes or other undescribed stuff around Eyros proper
 

On the last page I linked to three previous summaries that are in the thread. These contain nearly every post in the thread, besides the last ones which aren´t much.
 


The Xaleris Festival of the Coffin is a weeklong celebration of the dead. The Xal gallop through the streets wearing masks and costumes, drinking and carrying on to loud music. At the end of the Festival, an empty coffin is carried through the town, then deposited in the graveyard, afterwhich a picnic is held there.
