You're here to see the exhibits? Welcome, welcome. What's that, the mess outside? Did they throw out useless junk? No, no, I'm afraid those are some of the exhibits, there's been a magic incident you see, recovering the items and putting them in their proper place - or at least inside - would be greatly appreciated. As for me, I'm not part of the staff, my name is Lurker Wogeathis and I'm a human necromancer. I know you've heard the stories,
I've heard the stories, from the mad Oddom and Cog to the recluses of
Vutok, Bralbaard, Pik & Desli and the list go on, to the... controversial Moldath and Avolition. I've heard how
the change affected them, and at first I thought it did not do so for me. I had no wish to rule the world, to turn the living into my puppets or to bring death to the world. Nothing like that. But now I realize it did affect me in a certain matter, my affliction does seem to ask for the blood of at least one creature of each kind, so that my name may enter as many slayer sections as possible. But it's a small matter I'm willing to live with.
Ah, forgive an old soul's rambling - and I am old, reading Bralbaard's latest journal made me realize how distant my time was when Ulosothro was the unquestioned capital of Omon Obin. How times change. As fascinating as my story may seem to you, there's not much to tell, really, as I've told my Museum compatriots time and time again. I do have some scraps of paper detailing this and that lying around if you're that curious, but I'd think you came to see the exhibits. What would a bicentenerial necromancer have to show us, you might ask. Demon remains, skulls, ancient books? The Museum holds all of these, 'tis true, and I've brought some demon remains and some raw gems on my previous turns, but now, I have something you might not expect: goblin wares! You'd be thinking, goblins are just beasts given divine form to mock it, many of them trapped in Hell with the true beasts, somehow surviving and worshiping them until someone digs too deep or divine intervention. Those who know me must know how much I
loath the critters. All of these are true, of course. Then, you may consider, that these items are just stolen by the goblins and somehow survived in their horrid condition so that I may have gathered them here for you now.
Well, the answer is surprisingly no. From my research into them, they appear to be of direct goblin provenance. How can I be certain? Why, it's the materials, dear ones. What sapient being would carve draltha, troll or goblin bones? As much as I indeed loathe these creatures, these items
had to make their way to the Museum. Can you imagine their history? The things we may learn even from such uncivilized creatures? I've recovered these directly from the pits of the goblin capital of Stozuutong, and don't worry, I slayed some greenskins while I was there. This is the place of
Master Egu's death, who would have ruled to this day if not for brave Museum adventurers. Unfortunately, I was only able to explore two or three of those pits, accounting for the temporal distorsions and the army of trolls I made sure to not disturbe. I remember reading once that there are 6000 living trolls in Orid Xem, a truly terrifying number, and I think I found where they're all hiding...
OOC: It's interesting that we were talking about goblins just as I had a goblin submission...
It's quite a shame that the many fascinating events that take place during world gen take a nosedive at the start of the game. To a degree, despite the three or so centuries that have passed over the course of the game, the world in of itself outside of adventurer actions is mostly static.
However it just means we must forge onward and take the world into our own hands. I definitely have an interest in putting an end to some wars. . . Maybe even create a new civilization or two, I believe I know how that can be done. For now I must administer to the Realm of Silver, another flaw is that our citizens will all merely die of old age as marriages/births are few and far between. The new Weatherponder District has dwindled considerably. Nothing to worry about, Omon Obin will have a fertility festival I suppose. Haha.
We're definitely seeing changes, a human capital was taken over by Adilatír as a result of a war with the humans, the elven capital fell AFTER Bralbaard's first turn, there was the
Battle of Cemoshtoral, that battle in which Bralbaard was killed etc. There's also the massive High Confederacies immigration into Adilatír hillocks, as I've deduced most humans are from that particular civilization. I wonder how the dwarf-human-elf and even goblin relations will continue to evolve.
As for making new civilizations, be careful. Other than borking the game, which would be obvious, so it's not much of a concern, adding things that particular game file wasn't ready for may result in LV crashing. It happened when
Archcrystal modded bookmaking in, and LV stopped working for it.
