Message: <blockquote data-quote="Christopher Lambert" data-source="post: 1956765" data-attributes="member: 25412">[sblock]The halfling civilization during the Blue Age used lots of life-shaping, including huge ships. Basically, you make protoplasm into whatever shape you want. Some of their creations had some intelligence to them, too.The kreen could survive in a moist environment, but at the time were only semi-sentient. They looked like thri-trin, but you'll need the DSMC II or, better yet, Thri-kreen of Athas to know what one looks like. Basically, they had two claws and four legs. They also had wings, letting them move from one island to another.Druids and possibly elemental clerics came into existence during this era. There was also a war between the life-shapers and nature-benders, but that didn't seem to have much effect.Psionics didn't exist yet.The halflings tried an experiment to double the productivity of the ocean, creating the Brown Tide. Obviously, that was bad. Indeed, it caused the fall of their civilization. In a desperate effort to keep things as they were, halflings used the Pristine Tower to fix things. This gigantic artifact was probably made through a combo of life-shaping and druidic magic, and it drew power from the sun (changing it's color for the first time). In addition to ending the Brown Tide (and starting the Green Age ... where did all that water go?) it also caused lots of mutations.Halflings began to transform into other races, including the pyreen. Psionics also started to appear. The kreen were also transformed into thri-trin, six kreen subraces, and zik-chil. The kreen founded a civilization far to the west.No, I don't know what effect changing the color of the sun had, other than to say it was a bad thing.[/sblock]</blockquote>
