Feros saw the last fangdrake fall. And he saw not only a loss, but an opportunity. He spoke to it's slayer, Gren Garnsson.
'And as the old way falls, a new will rise, and the strong prevail. Such is the way of the willds. Now I ask you, do you forsake them or embrace them? Do you relish the hunt and the change, or do you long for stasis and perpetuality? If it is the latter, i can do no more for you. If the former however....... I would speak with you.....'
...I changed my mind, I wanna be this guy. IF possible.
Mind if I point out the parallels between this dwarf and Udil?
Assuming she thinks it's a really good idea to attempt to kill the god of knowledge. Even if she succeeds, she'll probably end up insane from the resulting mental overload.
Vandia has shown...questionable judgement at times. Besides, as you have admitted and your actions have broadcast, you are weak.
IamanElfCollaborator,
Stop calling yourself Switzerland. No one messes with them not because they said "we are neutral" but because they have a nice army and a defensible terrain. Germans during WW2 had plans to invade Switzerland but decided against it, because fighting with one of the best armies in Europe in mountains is a bad idea
I already said that to him. He didn't listen.
As for cowardice, Corvus is a pacifist. It's against his own beliefs. I'm not calling myself Switzerland, I'm aspiring to it. Don't confuse cowardice with pacifism and dislike of war.
How could you be Switzerland without the mighty Swiss army? (It's not just the knives that make them scary, you know.)
Also, I would appreciate it if you would stop insulting everything I do. If you hate my playstyle that much, then PM me. You have no IC reason to kill Avarian. Avarian has not even interacted with Aodun. Avarian has not even made his desires public. Don't mix IC with OOC. This behavior is why I left Bay12 for a few months in hopes of people acting better. I'm sick of people bullying me around in here and everywhere else in life.
I have to agree. If Avarian was being a divine troll, or Firelordsky was threatening gods OOC, or something, this might be fine...but he isn't. He's trying to be a good Overgod.
Well crap. If there's now random godslaughtering, then we're all screwed, pantheon or no pantheon.
Not if we take down the godslaughterer by working together.
Poor drakes... This word is cruel to all lizards (((
Agreed. Although I might be a little biased...
Ignorant Dwarves!
And ungracious, among many other adjectives.
At least some of the Clawdrakes are still alive...
Not enough to maintain a breeding population. Not even close.
UDIL: 2 Neyravah & Co.: 0
The first victory was when Neyravah was unable to do much of anything because it happened in the 1.7 Days that will Live in Infamy. It was like winning a game of baseball when the other team was tied up.
The second victory was when Neyravah wasn't even around. It was like winning a game of baseball against the other team's dog.
Oh and the dwarves probably wouldn't want to ally with the same creatures that have been killing them in the past.
If they did, I would be
very mad at Ardas for his hypocrisy. "Neyravah killed some dwarves when trying to help the dwarves? THEY MUST DIE! The shades intentionally killed many dwarves during raids? Hey, let's ally them!"
You ask how i can get to the bottom of the sea? I have 3 acts, and magical weapons and my troops leveld up to kill magical creatures too, if you haven't noticed. You call Shades off or I'm taking you out of the sea, Spongebob.
When did you kill magical creatures?
And don't get cocky. Fighting underwater, even with such "minor" concerns like breathing and pressure
wizarded away (despite Udil not being a god of water, the sea, or anything like that), is much different from fighting on land. And three mighty acts can't alter a whole nation.
Did the Wyrm disappear again?
The Great Wyrm. Made of Gold.
Yes. I vanished for such arcane things as "sleep" and "stuff I do during the day." Because not all of us can waste more than our afternoons and evenings on Bay12.
I like how I have no worshipers but yet the entire 9th continent is in a constant predator-prey cycle. Udil at least seems happy enough to play his part.....
Might end soon though. Udil just removed most major carnivores. This'll have 2 effects:
1. The Jungle becomes more dense and harder to traverse, as the paths once created by drakes are slowly overgrown.
2. The Jungle's primary herbivores increase in population.
Most of the primary herbivores were drakes, but yeah.
The first might lead to the extinction of remaining large carnivores and large herbivores, as well as medium sized pack animals. Hence, the second will see a serious boom in small animal species, mostly herbivores. This might cause a boom in small carnivores or a decrease in plant biomass.
The end result is a disturbed ecology which loses most of it's large animal life, has increased chance of disastrous forest fires, becomes harder to traverse, and might even collapse completely.
Bwah ha ha. Udil has been punished in part. This
might pay off the interest...
Its not like mountain-dwelling dwarves care.
It's people who think like this that let things like massive forest fires and global warming happen.
Besides, it takes one nomral act of mine to eradicate the jungle, or I will order a construction of magma doomsday device, DF-style and bathe the continent in fire.
Never mind,
Udil still owes the full sum.Anyways, without the jungle how will you get any wood? No beds means tantrum spirals. Maybe
then the interest will be paid off...
And all the mountains came alive and went for a swim Ardas.
On accident, as a last attempted gift of the god you hated.
But yes.
Wait. That means that Udil essentially doomed his own people to die in the ensuing ecological chaos.
Indeed.
Assuming they don't have ships yet, which I doubt they have,
I also doubt their ships. They didn't have them when they were pairs of or solitary fishers, and they weren't mentioned to have gained any nautical skill since. Unless you count any dwarves living on mountain turtles, there probably aren't any dwarven sailors.
or Udil doesn't interfere, which he will.
But not, judging by his ecological track record, successfully.
May his actions end as well as Neyravah's.
Actually no, he didn't.
The mountain dwarves are selfsufficient, and the fisher dwarves live of the sea.
He might eventually kill an entire continent*, but his own species isn't directly at risk. Those irontrees and whatever might be. And the increase in small animals will result in a tremendous increase in pest.
If anything, this greatly reminds me of Mao's Great Step forward.
Which ended how well?
Besides, pretending that the forest somehow doesn't matter to the ocean or whatever is just wrong. All biomes interlink at their borders. For instance, oceans are affected by deforestation miles upriver; the water gets more turbid as sediments wash downstream. This causes coral reefs to die off due to turbidity (they're remarkably fragile animals; blocking off the zooxanthelle is REALLY bad for them), as well as algal blooms from increased nutrient content in the water (which also kills corals, as well as many other types of life). This causes many other changes in ecology. Overall, the entire area of ocean is changed from cutting down a forest hundreds of miles away.
Destroying the wilderness across a whole continent won't end well for anyone.
I need to make DarkDrakes...To honor Neyhahrabshdjdsiha
Neyravah.
And...um...better than nothing?
Well, Elf, the Dwarves are not reliant on the Jungle one bit...so no problem for them.
Even assuming they
never need wood (they do, for furniture, heat, light, cooking, etc), and that they
never use the plants for anything (aside from plump helmets, they don't have any subterranean crops--and plump helmet rinds make terrible clothes, as well as opening the road to malnutrition and famine if relied on too much), and that the animals of the jungle were not needed (there's no hunters? no weapons made of drake bone or tooth, no armor made of their leather? no amount of meat from the jungle is eaten to supplement the dwarves' diets? etc?), destroying the jungle would have
major effects on the surrounding area. If you hit a car's radiator, however crude it may be, with a sledgehammer, would you expect everything in the car to work perfectly?
On another note the Jungle was an ecological aberration, the continent will live on very well without it...
So Neyravah was so clumsy as to not change the whole region with the Mighty Act, which contains enough power to create whole planets mind you, so as to make it a once-again-functioning-and-balanced biosphere, despite being the God of Life?
Just assume that they are an event horizon... At absolute zero
Well, if Hawking radiation isn't a thing in this universe, event horizons probably would be at absolute zero.
