((Maybe. Few but the Spider itself know of its origin, and you'd need a pretty big secret to trade for that knowledge. And it already has most of the biggest ones it its web...))

[Dermonster]

((Yo theres a primordial void elemental that created the universe as some sort of weird test thing. It's gonna come on down after Chaos and Order have their big war. Gimme the 11 secret herbs and spices.))

[WillowLuman]

((I don't know where the spider came from. It's a mystery, and some things are best left unexplained. And the Spider probably already knew that one. Order, Chaos, and other such beings that have been around since the beginning probably know where it came from, though. I said few but the Spider itself know of its origin, after all, leaving open the possibility of others knowing. Just remember that it's fun to leave some things open to interpretation.))

[Dermonster]

((I really need to learn how to convey my joking voice into sentences which can be misconstrued as serious.))

The news of the world are carried by a religious group, known as the Saced Order of The Travelling Word, who feel that it is their sacred duty to deliver messages from important people to important people. They are highly respected amongst all the civilized races as they make fast information exchange possible. All of the bigger cities hold a monastary and every race is welcome within the ranks of the sect, even though the Archmessengers are almost exclusively made up of Klukou due to their flying abilities. It is said that refusing to give a messenger refugee will lead to bad luck, which is why they are often treated like nobles.

Remember that post saying that the time elemental warping stuff was theorized to be the origin of most races by blending them together?
Yeah, so the lizard and the bird people were probably mixed by it into the feathered pirate lizards at some point.

The spider reamins a mistery, though its origin as a (manavore?) titan spider (Titan spiders are manavores IIRC) are theorized. Some scholars thinks it survived long enough to gain sentience and quit devouring mindlessly spirits. Visitors to the Chasm Spider confirm that the area around it is not mana-less, but that's it. Spirits, as usual on such ancient matters, are elusive.

Thaelas canonized as city of lightning. The city sprawling at the mountain's base is the city of Metal. Known for its peerless crafting (duh). The undergound cities are particularly developped under them, and despite numerous theories nobody really knows why.

The planet/moon doesn't have moons of its own, the 13 "moons" are other moons of the gas giant they orbit (I don't remember the matter being made clear cut), not that it changes a lot of things for the civilisations.

Tides are massive, because gas giant.

It wasn't so much that races were blended together, that creatures were twisted into a different form. The Maraxi were intended as dino people, something like humanoid Maniraptorans. Though, the above theory sounds like it would be likely to arise within the setting.

Time elemental does some weird shit with evolution, man, pulling bits from all along the timestream.

(Why'd you get rid of the moon moons? I liked those )

[WillowLuman]

(IDK if anyone got rid of them)

The world orbits the gas giant at a great distance, so the giant and the sun appear almost the same size in the sky. This is why it is able to maintain its own moons.

(Muahahaha, you are powerless to fight my retcon powers!)

(Right here.)

There is a blue comet that comes once every 173 years, and when it passes near mysterious spirits come to mingle with the elementals. They vanish when the comet leaves, though, and the elemental spirits do not speak with mortals about what they speak of with the comet spirits.

The Cult of the Black Break believes that when blue comet intersects the 4th planet, the gravitational orbit will change and drive the comet on a direct collision to this planet. This story was created after their previous theory, that the comet would eat the sun, didn't come to fruition. The cult regularly "updates" its doomsday predictions whenever its previous predictions turn out false, or whenever doing so could generate publicity off of current events.

((In other words, unless the GM says otherwise, they're as accurate as Mayans were))

[Dermonster]

((The mayans never- not the time, Derm, not the time.))

There are beings made out of quicksilver in the caves beneath the chasm. Some of these caves connect to the surface, and theses beings sometimes leave to attack settlements. Adventures, particularly the Panther Company, venture into these tunnels, wher many mysterious things exist.

[Furtuka]

((Either way we actually did seem to decided to let the moons be, and the creators language afterwards made it rather clear that the moon moons were moon moons. So hah! Your retcon powers have been thwarted by the law of contradictions!))
