Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sanglorian" data-source="post: 6100075" data-attributes="member: 83822">The Last Fiendslayer (Jahur) When Shuttered's windows closed, a loosely-knit league of fiendslayers were trapped in the Shrouded Lands. These hunters specialised in the slaying of demons and devils, but some considered their methods suspect – they would graft pieces of fiends to their own bodies to increase their prowess and were willing to truck with other dark powers to slay demons and devils.  After the Shuttering, left with few outsiders to hunt, the fiendslayers split. Some became conventional mercenaries, using their talents for personal gain. Others decided to fight mortal evil as well as the beings of the lower planes. Over the years, fiendslayers have died before passing on their knowledge and grafts. The last fiendslayer drinks in The Gushing Ruby, a tavern in Jahur's blue quarter. His name is Erebus, one passed down from master to apprentice since the Shuttering. He has heard of the Temple of the Dead God (03.13) and wishes to gather a group to sack it and frustrate the aims of its high priestess.    He is in Jahur because his comrade is a Janissary who was badly damaged in a battle with an ogre. He hopes the Jahuri have the skills to repair him.  Hooks Did the ogre survive? What is the blue quarter? Tell me more about The Gushing Ruby. Where are the lost fiendish grafts? What fiendish grafts does Erebus have? Who is his Janissary comrade? Are there any Jahuri keen to join Erebus?[1] Yeah, the table of contents was an afterthought and I think it shows.  [2] Woops, that was actually to show that I'd had to rework other parts of the setting to implement my vision: in this case, making changes to the Sir Theanor hex (removing Gorean Grey stuff) and taking part of the flying fish section and putting it in the Shuttered section. So I wouldn't include any bits of those in the Hills of Gore section.  [3] I found that once I started chopping and changing these questions often (not always!) resolved themselves. I think if we started hacking up Shuttered we'd find it easier than it seems now.  [4] Yeah, the order could definitely use some work. [5] Referencing is going to be tricky, for sure. I did think of something like your G1.02 notation, but I agree that it's clunky. I'd be reluctant to insert hyperlinks at this stage: I think the test should be whether the work's usable at the table, with additional electronic-only features if and only if we master the physical form.  I'd be really reluctant to transition to a wiki for the same reasons, and also that it'll be a lot of work. Cheers.</blockquote>
