Three sentences with little to no detail on the migration of three major races to another plane is not RP.

Hey now it's four sentences!

Not really.

In my opinion, two paragraphs at least for something this major.

Someone call the king in yellow, because Carcarosa is waiting for him.

Iituem, I'm about to make a proposal to Turpis, through Thurasa. His reply will decide whether or not Rotarn will smite him.

That's a thoroughly daunting prospect.  Go ahead.

I just thought of something. My god is from another set of realities entirely, as are his creatures. and all he creates. His creatures can probably watch the king in yellow as dinner theater, while the Necronomicon would probably be something like light reading to them. The flip-side of this is that Les Miserables would probably blind them, if not driving them stark raving mad and a textbook would probably be akin to a dark book of forbidden lore. Creatures entering other plains would warp the area around them to survive, and creatures from other dimensions would do the same while visiting mine.

Is this whole idea okay?

Because of my secret love for game balance, here is a list of all extant concepts in the world:

Spoiler: Concepts (click to show/hide)

Not all races know them, but these are all that currently exist.


I propose that from this point on, any concept which does not yet exist in the world must be created with the Create Concept action (and the creator gets to give it to one race or organisation freely).  Once created, any deity can then teach it to another race.

Although if the concept happens to be 'Solar Power' and Rhuax is watching, he might declare war on you for trying.  ;)



Edit:  Now with Sandcrafting!

You have solar power, if you make regular offerings to the Temple of the Almighy Rhuax.

I'd also like to make an addition to that proposal, any concept covered by a gods domain does not need to be created in concept.

But as a corollary to that, the concept can only be first taught by the god who has that domain (once it's out in the open, though, anyone can teach it).

So Wayock can freely teach war-related concepts as a 1pt action, but Garish would have to Create a war-related concept (unless it was also a machine-related concept).  But now that Wayock has taught Tactics to the Ger, anyone can take that knowledge and teach it to another race.

A few notes on the story post:

I have used the term 'chaptergrounds' instead of 'chapterhouse'.  Since the Senon don't actually have any skill with masonry (or that many other skills, for that matter) I have assumed that the crusader sect essentially just lives in a series of fields and forests that they claim.  This actually goes for every single race except the Gor (who I assume live underground in grottos) and the Ynoclian humans (who actually get houses!).

This also implies that the Senon are largely without detailed culture on their own and Senon crusaders proably adopt and mimic the culture of the species they change into.  This is a rather terrifying implication, as this means that the Senon race is almost entirely geared towards the ruthless and unswerving proselytism of their moral viewpoint.

Also assumed that the Senon use whatever weapons are in the culture they are mimicking.  Swords have not been invented yet amongst the mortals, so assuming that Thurasa's was a direct gift from Rotarn.

Took a bit of liberty with the Senon lifestyle, but 'Crusader' implies the kind of regimented order and indoctrination described, as well as the violent suppression of all wrong-doing.

Sandcrafting has been tuaght to the mermen which allows them to make weapons and armor.Which they trade to the humans and crabtaur  in return for meat and grain and beer.
