[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 9159642, member: 6816692"] Hah, sweet :) Regarding the Titan of Civilization... I am not sure whether Tiz stumbled across that other campaign thread. I know that he read a bit of the Korrigan&co write-ups as this was still active and ongoing while he was prepping. Also, I forgot to point out the significance of the fertility blessing of the Father of Thunder for the two PCs. Up to this point, it was common knowledge that Eladrin couldn't have children with other races. Auryn and Gabriel had first developed the hope that Deva and Eladrin could work due to their connection to Srasama, and especially Gabriel's much stronger bond with the goddess. Then he had found this cursed monkey paw that would grant him three wishes, and he promised that he would use it to help them have a family should their hopes not be fulfilled. He didn't care that each consecutive child would place another curse on him. And then came the Father of Thunder out of nowhere saying basically "screw the rules and the weird Dreaming shenanigans, I am a f***ing Titan, let them be fruitful and multiply" Regarding the promised inner workings, here is what I noted back then (and with "back then" I mean four years ago oO): [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]The last few days had shown Auryn that she was truly on the path to healing.
