You are all GODS!!

I was looking at a desert called Rub' al Khali, a massive salt desert that is in Iran. Much of the wildlife only comes out during the night, just as that is when people sleep. It kind of shows how the Metropolis has effected the area around it causing more activity in the night than in the day.

What also comes to mind is the story of the Sandman who rules the dreaming, the desert will probably gain a different title over time though in the world because among the sands somttimes people can see ghostly images and faint outlines of creatures in the distance.

The Rub' al Khali is a sand desert in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen & UAE, I think. The English translation of the name is the Empty Quarter. The salt desert of Iran is the Dasht-e Kavir. Either would be a nice choice.

Oh, Voda, meant to tell you I like your Shenlin write-up. Reminds me of the clonal colonies of aspen trees.

I think I'm going to stick to Australia... In this worlds case it's going to look a BIT different.

I'm going to have it resemble a super volcano in build, the largest concentration of Volcanic activity on the face of the planet itself. Picture Mordor from LoTR kinda landscape with fissures and windows into the glow red lava just below the surface. The ground will be VERY unstable however looking over the landscape even though it looks dangerous there is also an eerie beautiful woman's touch to the spindles of old hardened lava flows and broken land. In the center of the massive land mass sits a MASSIVE super volcano the size of the state of Rhodes Island just to give a bit of scale. I would assume that the volcano would be one of the only landmarks visible from space above. This peek would stretch and reach nearly to the highest elevations know on the planet giving Lavaria a touch of sky and air into her range of possibilities of portfolios as well. Inside this massive melting pot of a super volcano is a series of 'safe'.. or should I say semi stable, passages that lead to portals to her realm of lava and fire. These tunnels were formed by carefully controlled tunnel flows of lava now gone and left behind pathways to her realm. Lavaria has named the maze of tunnels interwoven within her super structure "Cinders Path". These tunnels if traversed with no knowledge of intuit direction could have mortals lost for 3 lifetimes. All told there is nearly 1000 miles of connected maze tunneling.

As stated in the IC channel though this portals to her 'hell' realm are ONE way and the only way out is the gatekeepers of fire who take orders ONLY from Lavaria.

Thanks buddy! spend a good time writing that up and actually coming with the idea.

I think I am going to go with Dasht-e Kavir, I would perfer to stay in Iran so I don't get too close to you guys and I just have something in my heart for salt deserts

Haha, I think Torath could make it anywhere, but being all dragon-y and being able to fly, he'd likely like a mountain somewhere in his realm as well.

 

[Myth and Legend]

Frozen, that is one really evocative image. I like it. Which desert?

With all this jumping around I'm not really sure who is where now... Let's see:
The One and the Many - equatorial jungle regions (southeast asia, africa)
Ras-gul - southeast asia
Lavaria - Australia (maybe pulled up a little tighter to Indonesia?)
Duretep - a desert (Sahara? Empty Quarter? Other?)
Heliasillyel - the Balkans
Ubariya - thinking the Zagros (south-ish of the Caspian Sea in Iran) or the Urals.
Torath - ???
Chrextes??? - anyone know if Roman is still with us?
Did I miss anything?

Also the Italian peninsula, I must insist!

Update tonight everyone.

As it seems almost everyone has come to a consensus. On the way they wish the world to be handled. My question now would be are the locations of your godly realms are the same as the world would a neutral spot a "City of the Gods" be needed for meeting each other or not. I am good either way.

Also remember the world will be devoid of followers, and you will need to think of if you wish to try 'creating them' or ship them in (Like ML). I will provide the means just need to know the way you want it done.

Can anyone think of anything else?? I will be answering any past questions tonight. You may repost them if you wish, but not needed.

Are we allowed to 'create' races?... or do they have to be stock?

I can see Lavaria 'infusing' current races in the SRD with the spirits of fire elementals making new races and the like with fire based defenses and powers. Kinda like giving them the fire subtype but more customized. Is this a possibility?

 

[HolyMan]

This is D&D anything is possible.

You would need to figure how you will aquire your specimen's then, ship in or steal (??) or have someone create some base creatures for you. I'm leaning towards having a The Forger like entity of Life pass you guys way, but this is only a thought so far (alot of brainstorming).
