Message: <blockquote data-quote="Loonook" data-source="post: 45634" data-attributes="member: 1861">The Uncivilized LandsIn the Plane of G'esh there have been many changes to the landscape since the acceptance of the Autn (the Four Gods [Palde M'ka, T'ka, Mot, and Henda) as the supreme controllers of its areas... but they had much work to do.Their ascension to Greater God status from that of mere mortals only contributed more to a weakening of the planar energies that held the system together... the Autn have been locked away for thousands of years taming the energies and restructuring them... but there are still the Uncivilized Lands.Though bearing no actual name in any tongue, the land has been known in tongues as the Land of Exiled, Land of the Forgotten, the Plains of Chaos, and the Mountains of Lies.  The land is rough and tumble, filled with nomads and small moving groups who seek only to move through the lands to a safe place.  Sadly, this place is nowhere near safe for any involved.The Land is known for its fits of elemental fury; leaks of pure elemental energy have bathed the lands, scorching, freezing, and deadening the surface in places.  Rains of elemental fire are not uncommon, and those exposed to it frequently take on the characteristics of the energy... there are rumours of beasts named Ku'Klon who have attacked outposts in the G'eshian kingdoms.  The beasts, whose name seemingly translates to 'Kobold' in the Common tongue, stand 10' when fully set, and spew forth flames from their nostrils.Along with the hazards of enormous beings, the area is a large crossover between the Astral and Ethereal Planes.  The Time Storms on its surface have been known to age people rapidly, or fling them through time without a moments notice.  Few survive for long in the lands, and those who do are either insane or cursed.One such group, the PoiPalda, were an ancient lineage of the House of Palde M'ta (which was split into M'ka and T'ka at the ascension... more on that later).  Tall and thick, these Poin battle with anything that they find in the Lands, which ranges greatly due to the immense amount of shifts of time and space.  Their extreme paleness is unknown through the other Poin cultures, and their strange attribute of being able to grow hair is a giveaway of one of these creatures.  A PoiPalda tribe hides in the sands at daylight, and arises at dusk, to stalk down prey ranging from mutated animals to large fungi... their diet is extremely varied, and is very odd thus when they are encountered outside of their normal dwelling places.This area is also a famous spot for the Priest of the Nameless, a group of Poin who have been warped by an unknown force and whose sole purpose is to seek out items to aid in the possible usurption of that power.  Bearing items extremely foreign (which may include highly technological or extremely magical things) the Priest stalk the lands pulling large carts behind them, with their ooze and other bizarre 'protectors' riding or pulling with them.The lands are extremely wild, but also varied. In my next writing I will cover more information on the denizens of this area... until then, see you later <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
