In the desert, there is a black obelisk, called the river of passage. It is said that one could use it to pass between worlds, but none have discovered how.
Likely because of the strange, yet unseen guardians surrounding it. Anyone who would approach, well most... are cut to pieces.
No no, lad, I hear it is the magical wind that protects the obelisk. No guardians involved, just magic!
the old man speaks: "ye both rights lads. the guardians are air elementals"
Well, that makes sense. But how do you know that?
I felt there air, and when they ran through my brother with there blades of air, the blood was caught within there bodies, just long enough for me to see there form. I myself scarcely escaped."
Incredible, maybe I'll... not go anywhere near it.
Done-ish, although I have no idea on how to draw an invisible elemental. :V
There are many forts north of the waterfall and west to the temple, where they defend the land from Swarmafi Scythracki raiders from the south-west, the insectoid race and their foul empire requiring large amounts of slave labor just to keep their civilization running, not to mention the requirements of labor and sacrifice to support the ever constant wars both outside and inside the empire, all in the name of their blood god, He who we shalt not speak his real name until the swarm is worthy of a small amount of time, unless he is angered and destroys us all or Arockanmokannot in their language. Curse the scythe arms to kill with, and their wings to carry them inwards to war!!!!! [/i][/s]
Just use the fluff I put here for the scythers, and not include any of the rest of it. oh, and maybe move the fort to the location described here?
...I have been sadly unable to moved a drawing I've already inked in, although the fluff was somewhat intriguing.
North of the mountains, there was once a small lake, clear and able to heal wounds of those who drank from it. But nowadays it is murky pool full of amphibians, and people sighted a three-headed jaguar who has a nest in the spring of the lake!
No one remembers the name of the lake today...
Amphibians? To put in a Toady One reference or to let it pass... also, how's Turpid Pool for a name?
Lastly, a question: there's a question in my mind as to if the barren area to the East (Bottom-Right Corner) should be another desolate desert or a rocky, inhospitable wasteland. Input?
