Dromus Prep Thread

[Thunderbird459]

Honestly, Kell, do you really have that many spare MHz of brain time to come up with all this stuff and still get your BA in A Little Bit of Everything? Such barely contained creativity confounds the mind of this one who gets a headache trying to create a name for his characters.

Anyway, I'm considering Caeldwyste or Dromus. Perhaps there is a nice mountain conveniently located near a trade route or town in Caeldwyste that I can tunnel my store/workshop/home out of?

Edit: PAGE!!!!!

I think the basis of the planes is a good idea. There's enough there to give a good base to any character.

Thanks, that's the biggest thing I was worried about.

That sounds suspiciously like a compliment. Actually, I hate coming up with names too, you can blame DemonWolfZero for most of these.

I haven't decided yet on specific geographical features of Caeldwyste, so if you want a mountain, lo there shall be one. Caeldwyste has its own trade routes, of course, but if you want to do business with the traffic going through Dromus you'll need to set up shop near the gate town of Whispermere.

Why a tunnel in a mountain, though? Sticking with your dwarven heritage to the bitter end?

Hey Kell, Feiran is almost finished. I'm just putting finishing touches on her and voila! she'll be done.

Also. I think that I will be setting a Holyfire Seat of governement on Kelluna. If you agree, then Feiran will be doing something like a learning exhacnge thing. So, she'll be from the Imperium and vacationing in Dromus. Sound good?

One more thing, can I place the Teravians somewhere? Maybe you can use 'em or something.

That sounds suspiciously like a compliment.

What good is a complement if it's not a backhanded one?

"And so it was that at the prayer of the dwarf, a mountain sprung from the land on the outskirts of Whispermere. And it was good." - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Multiverse

The reason for wanting an excavated lair is partially because it is heritage and comfort, but also to show those damned snobby relatives that just because he spent as much time in the library with a spellbook as he did in the forge with a hammer doesn't mean he can't still tunnel with the best of 'em.

Keep tellin' yourself that, Wee One. Just keep on tellin' yourself that

EDIT: Kell, wizards.com has new ice stuff. You might want to check it out. They have a new substance. It's called blue ice, it's really cool. LOL, look at me I made a funny. Sorry about that, caffeine+studying=makes everything funny.

Chassama, the Proxies technically worship the usual gods, including Kord. The situation is analogous to multiple Protestant sects springing up from different readings of the same Bible. Since Kord personally isn't around to settle the issue, his proxies are the authorities on religious matters, and they're notorious for disagreeing even when they're working from the same canon.

Still, it could be said that I'm on the bad side of most of them and had to run because I don't worship through one of them. Basically, it still comes out the same. And that's the basic idea I had as to why I'm in Dromus in the first place. A 'disagreement' with the proxies.

So where are you from, Kelluna or the Imperium? Or neither? You have to live in one or the other, unless you're wealthy enough to shell out 250 gp and a day's meditation every time you move. You have avery confusing way of phrasing things.

I like the image of your mystic theurge pounding away at the rock muttering about his parents, Thunderbird. Heehee. Anyway, feel free to get your stronghold-building on.

Chassama, the background's just fine, except that you have to at least pay lip service to one of the Proxies. I just wanted to make sure there was no confusion heading into this, especially since clerics have a great deal of built-in baggage. You may not be orthodox enough to stick around comfortably, but all the divine energy around here comes through a soul collector.

Instead of doctrinal conflict, why don't you have some sort of shame on the field of contest that has you seeking atonement to overcome your shame? Half-orcs aren't really known for their sophisticated theology anyway.

 

[Chassama]

You're probably right about the half-orc theology. Except I have a wisdom of 17. Even a half-orc with that kind of wisdom could be dangerous to the normal theological leaders. Perhaps moreso with the way you described Kelluna. Or at least how I perceived your description of Kelluna.

On the other hand, I'll see what I can come up with about the "shame on the field of contest" idea. My original thought was that I'm in Dromus because I didn't even bother to "pay lip service" to any of proxies. But, *shrug* who knows what'll come of this.

 

[Conundrum]

We could start our own fan club with all these praises going around.


Anyway, I'm just waiting on you shmucks to get done. Vayshor's ready to go. Let me know more as the time approaches.

 

[Kelleris]

Well, we'll start as soon as I have everyone's characters posted and reviewed. The idea is kinda that you post them as you finish them.

Well, I can understand being a little lazy about it, I guess. :\ Anxious to get started, though, so I'll have more of a reason to check these threads compulsively.
