Heck I might as well carry an adventure on myself!

[Cathar]

Sure thing. So our gods - there might be some writing to do about them, but here goes what we have so far :

Ino Sweetdecent the Leafy Armors : Goddess of agriculture, loyalty and oath. Pretty much the goddess of the lands, also our patron deity.
Edri The Friendly Salves : Husband of Ino, god of healing, labor and crafts. God of everything man creates from the earth.
Sabu Virtuesearch : God of justice and sailors. God of everything that comes from the sea.
Bastsan the Rapidity of Champions : God of the underground, patrons over minerals, jewels, wealth and thunder. Probably the father of Ino.
Gogol Deathphantoms : Dark god of those who ended their own lifes.
Pasmug : Minor goddess of jaleousy.

Our opinion of dwarves is pretty good - as long as they are far away basically. We trade with them alot, and have in general a great deal of respect for what they do, but occasionally we compete with them for ressources. Most people regret the war we wage against the dwarves of Dezor Uzol in the west, war for which the war-leader Tis Tangledtrampled is blamed for to this day. Dwarves are also resented for sitting on the underground wealth of the world, but that aside, our relations with dwarves is very good. We'd take a dwarf over an elf anytime.

Aww yeah

Okay, here's my vague plan.
Dwarves were the first users of runes, and through trade, the humans of The Nation of Pearls learned of their use of letters, and quickly adopted them for widespread usage, though the original dwarven letters have been switched up, dropped off, and changed a good deal though. Actual runes also had symbols for gods, which is why I asked about them, since it would be interesting for adventures and temples to have such symbols.
As for some form of runic magic, I've thought about that, and my idea is that they start a sentance with a god symbol to ask that god's help, then a curse/spell. This could be used to explain how Bronze collossi can function, as well as our large robot friend.

[Cathar]

Sounds like a plan, especially since we have long term relations with dwarves. That could also explain the wierd names of blades - they would be the rune spells carved out on them

I hate to derail the thread again but....

As a huge Star Wars nerd, I can't help thinking of Cathar every time.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is a rough first draft done with shaky handwriting with a wonky ruler, I'll make a second draft tomorrow.

[Cathar]

That's excellent ! When you're completely done, I'll vectorize the symbols and use them as a ressource. Thanks so much !
Also when you're done, feel free to write me what you want to be drawn in exchange, either here or in message. Doesnt have to be related to anything.

Edit : Oh, and while I'm here, can people interested in the next chapter give me a rough idea of their adventurer to come? So I can gather some ressources and give you informations beforehand

[Imic]

I forgot to mention: There are 27 letters in the Human alphabet in DF, with Α and Ρ being added, and with Y being excluded. I would like to mention, however, that I took the liberty of removing Q, since it only appears in one word, Qu. I don't even know what it means, but Kiu should do the trick.
I use DF interpreter to translate stuff, but it invents new words for ones that don't exist already, fyi.

Uhuh sure, I was gonna go with a peasant character from Watershields if possible.
Don't know how far I'll go but I know that much.

[Cathar]

Well there's not much research to do on the Pearlites, everything  is already explained
Problem is, Watershield doesn't have a native population, since it's a player-made fort. But you can totally make a character from a neighbouring village/town like Hazelsides or Hairyoracle.

Also the update is 75% complete. Give me one more day. I hope you guys are ready for the final battle

[Imic]

I made a second draft, but I spilled tea on it, and the third draft had too many mistakes to use, so I'll have it done by tomorrow, fully developed and all. Hopefully tea-free.

I will mention that I drink tea in a massive mug, so it really was an accident waiting to happen.

[Cathar]

Well, to be honest your first draft was already pretty cool, I'm using it already. Here's Warmcrested Control-The-Tides, Zefer's new sword.
I think it looks pretty neat

That is awesome.

The final proof that this thread is, infact, a deep, daek, seemingly endless barrel of wine from which you drink every now and then, each time revelling in how much better it's gotten.

Feel free to quote that out of context.
