In the past this word was used to express pain, but in the 80 it started to be used like synonmy of cool, great or fabulous. The etimology of this isn't clear but my own theory is this new use is from "¡guau!", exclamation to express surprise or admiration ( Example: ¡Guau, qué chica tan bonita! = Wow, what a pretty girl!). Other words in Spain would be "estupendo", "genial", "excelente", "chachi", "chulo" or "chupi" (this is more childish or informal). In other zones of Hispanoamerica the words may be "chido" (Mexico) or "chevere"(Colombia)."Unseensweep" is an evolution of the "invisible landscape" from the 2nd Ed Shaman Handbook. It is like the spirit realm from Kara Tur but it is morphed by the collective beliefs of the sentient creatures. Maybe this plane could be right if you want to add some touch of new-weird-fiction style creepypaste, Backrooms or Fundation SCP.Barataria (Part 1)A nice place if you like to suffer.A lot of time ago there was a brave hero whose original name was lost. The people called "Mitraist" because he fought for the brotherhood of Mitra. He left his previous life when the brotherhood was betrayed in the middle of the fight by the noble houses for the power. His cousin was a cleric of Verethragna (a yazata or archangel from Persian pantheon) who was falsely accused and executed for treason as a scapegoat for those truly responsible. He was traveling during several years like an errant knight helping innocents when he could. One day he met a child who lived alone and crafted dolls and toys. This little boy asked help to the Mitraist and this accepted. The boy wasn't a child at all but a half-god "whose parents weren't married". The mitraist couldn't guess other deities would send monsters to kill the Toymaker-Child. When the Mitraist realises the level of menaces they faced he felt very sick, but the Toymaker-Child promised if he defended he would give magic talismans to protect innocent children. Then the Mitraist accepted the deal. He didn't worry for his own survival but he needed a reason to live and fight. The Toymaker-Child kept his promise, albeit in his own style. At the New Year's celebrations the Toymaker-Child left gifts in little children's bedrooms, dolls, toys and books with tales of legendary tales who fought against the forces of the Darkness. The other deities realises thanks their prophetic gifts this little detail would change radically the "Unseensweep" or "Invisible Landscape", the world of the spirits (who are summoned by the shamans). Those toys were blessed with divine magic, and thanks lots of innocent children could be saved against supernatural predators. Urban Legends told about parents waking up to the terrified screams of their children, and when they got to their rooms there were the corpses of children-eater monsters before them, and on top of them the stuffed animals of their children wielding a blood-soaked weapon. The Mitraist was the first one of legendary heroes who protected children in the shape of a toy. The children who survived those monsters grew up, and they did not stop believing in the heroes who defeated the forces of evil. When they became adults and told to the next generations the feats of these legendary heroes then a light of faith and hope emerged. The supernatural predators became increasingly weaker because the new generations believed these could be defeated by the legendary heroes. Thanks the Mitraist the Toymaker-Child earned a place among the rest of deities. But this doesn't here because the Toymaker-Child prohesied the arrival of the children from the star. This prophecy was fulfilled, although not in the way originally imagined.A night a great ship who traveled among the stars throught the outer space was atacked by an enemy power and then crashed into the land. Its crew hasn't survived the impact on the land without the divine power by the Toymaker-Child, who has earned a higher rank and he had got ready for them. The crew of the crashed space ship were "aleerins", a specie of humanoids who had developed biotechnology and this to be fused for their bodies. Only the Toymaker-Child could understand that biotechnology and he offered his help, although then the aleerins or also named mechalus, didn't know yet he was a deity. After the Toymaker-Child became their protector deity. More than a thousand years later a second space ship arrived to Bataria in a exploration mission and the aliens could verify the impact of the arrival of the "children of the stars". The space explorers, a group of mechalus with other ally people discovered two main empires. The first one was ruled by the religion colloquially known as "Paragrafians" or "seperated". These built citadels that were true utopic wonders, a most of zones are true ecological jewels, with a great respect for the Nature.  The main religion of the second empire was named Pedisequian (from pedisequus, the slave or servant who escorted his master). The origin of this name was because an Ubermeschian* phylosopher said their merciful ethics were values of pedisequus). The Pedisequian empire wasn't so avanced technologically advance, and their populations had to fix and upgrave a lot of things but most of citizens enjoy a good life level.     * (The Ubermenschian phylosophy defends the homo superior or Übermensch don't obey more rules than his own conscence. Detractors claim that this is simply a sophisticated way of describing a psychopath, and they are right)</blockquote>
