I agree. However, certain things have gotten so long that I'm leery of wading in to the reams of international politics, mythology, & demons. There's just so much there that I never really absorbed.
And that's someone who spent the time to catch up from page 1 when the thread was 11 pages long.
One thing that might be fixed in-thread is flagging the individual Pillars and cities of Eyros a little better. They're pretty hard to track down without a search.
Ack. In any case, I think doing a little writing for this project would be fun. Count me as an applicant if more are needed.
If you like, I can do a short write-up for each of the Pillars, but other than Eyrdeyn and maybe Mhur and Malarn-ka, even I have trouble keeping those cities straight (I actually find the foreign countries easier).
Vajar: Orcish Pillar. Descends from Vajaros Dragonbane. Dark secret- Hobgoblin blood in the distant past (Vajaros's paramour Lazkani). Many rulers have Vajar as their orcish Pillar.
Zhal: Orcish Pillar. Descends from ? Seems to have lots of tough members who protect Eyros by hunting down renegade races
Taljik: Orcish Pillar. The newbies who replaced Garren. They have a planned arena in the works, but not much else to be said.
Garren: Orcish Fallen Pillar. They all died except Ramu (who is safe in Alivia's pendant) during the War of the Crumbled Pillar, which they precipitated. They also once looked to the sea, including the Grand Admiral of Eyros amongst their numbers
Malarn: Human Pillar. Wealthy scholars, House Malarn scions descend from the sage Malani. They have cornered several forms of trade, including the Gharjuin trade with the Sarynthi, using this to help finance their Great Library. They believe in meritocracy and tolerance for other races, allowing those of great merit to become honourary members (like Kalis).
Kiron: Human Pillar. Merchants who descended from the Hero Kira, House Kiron members have embraced the faith of the Children of the Dawn. Because of this, they believe that the elves should be free, and thus they freed their Masks and even accepted elven wives, creating half-elven scions and even one elf wizard scion who has been raising eyebrows.
Mulcibe: Human Pillar. Passionate artists and craftsmen who descended from Mulcibia, who was loved by the eladrin Kampaetnos, they have vibrant red-gold hair, which causes some to make remarks comparing their hair to that of zombies.
