Spoiler: lemon10, The Nameless (click to show/hide)

Upon stepping from the portal, the first reaction of both you and your comrades are to kiss the ground and sing jubilee, though upon looking about you wonder if you have stepped from one hell to another. A dense tangle of gnarly glass glints at you ferociously, threatening to engulf you all like the maw of a giant beast. Although you are able to hack at it with your sword, you are sure to have many a cut and laceration in your future.

Spoiler: Nirur Torir, Holy Empire of Zor (click to show/hide)

You awake with a large number of your followers on the rim of a large valley in a strange, twisted and seemingly barren landscape. The sky above you is a roiling haze of color, brown, black and red predominating though with nearly every other color represented somewhere. You find nothing analogous to a sun, and thus arbitrarily assign your right as east, your left as west, your forward as north, and your backward as south.

To the west, the valley continues, sloping steeply until ending in a massive canyon rimmed with a peculiar tinge of leathery tan. To the north and south, the valley's upper limits can be seen to end with a sudden cliff topped by a gnarly tangle of what can only be identified as greenish-blue glass. To the east, a gargantuan mountain of solid black stone rises ominously, its sides sloping upward with a perfect, artificial smoothness and ending in an abrupt spike.

You dream of the world, of its happenings and your will within it. It is all the strength you can muster, just to lie here in this pitiful state, watching your race die slowly, agonizingly...

Then, as suddenly as you can sense, you feel a ripple reverberate across this world's magic. It flows within you, your form greedily sapping up  the raw power, and before long...

You awake. For the first time in millennia, you feel once more the feeling of consciousness, that wonderful surge of coming once more to reality, breaking from the prison of your mind.

Then, just as suddenly, the power fades, slowly you sink once more into slumber, and dream furiously of this new happening.
What was that? Where did it come from? Was it merely an anomaly? Some fey imagining? No, that was real...

And what of this sudden sense of foreboding? Certainly, surely, you would've received a vision of this as bad as what you feel is coming. Something has been changed... And you can't help but feel that its perpetrator should be destroyed.

Less then an hour after their arrival in this strange wasteland, Roberto was already organizing the few hundred people that had been "lucky" enough to escape with him. In this forsaken wasteland where they now found themselves, there was no time to grieve the loss of their home, no time to panic. The portal had, miraculously, delivered most of them to this place unharmed, and had remained open for several minutes. During this time, the cavern had apparently collapsed from the stress. Much rubble had poured forth, along with the debris from several buildings that had been on the surface. Some fifty people had been assigned to dig through the wreckage shortly after the portal closed.

As they dug, others were tending to the wounded, and some were cautiously scouting the area, searching for food, water, or any sign of civilization. Roberto was discussing the situation with his second-in-command, Leonard, when one of the diggers approached with a salute. He nodded, and the digger, a formerly retired soldier, spoke. "Sir, we've got some great news - The portal seemed to have dropped the main merchant district down on us. We've found several jars of wheat, some smoked beef, and armory three." Roberto grinned. "It ... Er, sir, the portal ruined most of the weapons and tools we found. The wood's rotten, and the metals are rusted. The bows are ruined, the shields are distorted beyond use, the javelins have completely disintegrated, and the swords are horribly rusted." Roberto grimaced. "We'll have to melt most of what we've recovered down just to have enough farming implements to keep us alive. There's not much of anything, but we think we can salvage enough swords to equip one squad. Beyond that ..." the man shrugged.

Roberto rubbed his hand over his eyes. "Continue salvaging what you can. Report again after figuring out how long the food will last." The soldier nodded and left. Within minutes, one of the scouts was back, and saluted. "Sir, we've found no signs of animals, nor any signs of civilization. Plant life is minimal, and seems to mostly be concentrated around the canyons."

"It's a start. Are the plants edible?"

The scout visibly paled. "Uh, we didn't check, please forgive me."

Roberto shook his head with annoyance. "I have no intention of whipping you. Set up a watch, we don't know if there are predators that roam at night." He frowned at the sky, ignoring the relieved expression on the scout's face. "Or whatever time they may roam. You may go."

Roberto continued frowning at the sky as the man left, and spoke to Leonard when he was out of earshot, his voice strained. "I hate to do it, but we may need to feed the plants to the most badly wounded. After we figure out which ones are edible, we'll start farming them ... During the off-season, we'll build a shrine to Zor - I don't know if He's still around, but we might be able to revive him through if not, and it would do wonders for keeping our minds off of the apparent hopelessness of it all. We don't have much labor to spare, but we'll build a more elaborate one once we do."

The portal began to close, and as the last of the elves trickled through, they saw how few they had become. Impossibly few. A whole nation had gone through the portal, and the march that had happened had broken a proud people. Their march had reduced them to cannibalism, for they couldn't bring themselves to waste any food, when they were so hungry, when before a cannibal would have been banished to the human cities, now when someone died, they ate them, for they still couldn't bring themselves to waste any food, even though they were no longer hungry.

They looked out at the land, and although they saw a twisted landscape, green glass as far as the eye could see to the north, and to the south was a barren wasteland. But looking out at it you have hope, because no matter how bad it is, it is nothing compared to the realms that you have marched through. It is a paradise, even the complete lack of creatures, which before the journey would have been seen as a curse is a blessing, because that means that their is nothing there to attack them, no demons or dragons or eldrich gods warping reality.

The elves begin to put up their tents and build. They would celebrate the end of their journey, but it has left them hollow inside. Something inside them is broken, and it is unlikely that they will ever be whole again.

Dean Albrecht looked across the room at the remaining faculty of the Gralia Academy. They certainly weren't the best choice for running a town, but as the closest thing to authority figures the survivors had, they were the only real option.
Much like this building, he reflected. The ruined city they had quickly claimed for their own had only a few reasonably intact buildings, and this was the only one big enough for their meeting, even if it the paucity of windows and total lack of artificial light made it a rather dim affair. Some chairs wouldn't have been unappreciated, either.
"Food," he said. "That's what we need to be worrying about right now. Food and water. There's definitely life here; explorers have already found some sort of spider-lizard things north of here. We need to know more. Can we eat them? Are there enough of them? What do they eat? Can we eat that? I don't know about you gentlemen, but I'm not particularly interested in starvation."
Professor Nantish, stubborn bastard that he was, couldn't let that pass. "Are you saying we should degenerate to no more than hunter-gatherers in the face of this fiasco? I hardly think..."
"No," Albrect interrupted, suppressing his irritation. "I'm saying we need to be ecologists."

As the final walls of Santrek were raised, high priest Zimtha watched over his people and their new glory for the Swamp Mother. Some of the more conservative (even for the Codylidae) had fought this tooth and claw ever since the beginning, but seeing the great city gave hope to the old croc. No longer will young ones freeze in the winter, no longer will split tribes fight amongst each other. With the blessing of the swamp mother, a new world was waiting for them. However, they must prepare, for though the the swamp shelters them, Zimtha fell a ripple coming from outside, something terrible. They needed to gather food, build granaries, and train warriors for the days to come.

From outside the comforting swamp and everglades, great fingers of a strange material lance the sky. Zimtha felt dread looking upon it, wondering what cause these abominations of nature to replace the once gentle trees. What was happening to the outside world...

The Stranger looked out from atop his tower. A visitor to the City of Ill'thskz (If there was ever one) would be excused for thinking that no such tower existed. The slums of the city when right up to the tower, even using it as part of their walls. A visitor would also be excused if he thought that there was no such city, but instead a small hill, for the slums were made out of wood and sod and bits of glass from the surrounding country-side.

The Stranger looked out from atop his tower at the columns of beasts leaving the city. With a keen eye gained from years in the city, the Stranger could tell which of the columns were under the control of the Avatar, who rested in a great cavern directly beneath the tower. Two of the columns were heading to the farms that lied nearby, for their soil to be ripped apart and seed randomly scattered. For while the Avatar could control the beasts, he could not force them to work in a controlled manner, for that was how the beasts worked.

A third column also headed out from the city. The larger number of wandering beasts, and the stains of blood that spoke of either death or life, for both were connected in Likslisk's eyes, said that these beasts were being controlled by the hive-mind intelligence that these beasts sometimes showed, instead of the Avatar.

The Stranger sighed and returned to his tower. He had much work to do...

Spoiler: lemon10, The Nameless (click to show/hide)

The year is hard and strange for your people, but they have become accustomed to constant change, strife, and turmoil. Though a few succumb to various madness or mishaps, most manage to keep themselves more or less together.

The exploration parties you sent out come back with every extreme of success available; The ones sent to the north east were attacked by the very forest itself, returning with major injuries but few casualties. Most of them will be unable to work for a year or more.
The ones sent southward, although empty-handed, come back in an excited rush as they explain the glorious epiphany which had befallen one of their number. Apparently, the great canyons here emit some peculiar form of energy with is central to life here and seems to temporarily quench one's thirst. (It should be noted, however, that over-exposure to this energy seems to cause one to become over-bloated with water and die from drowning- the fate of the party's only casualty, which they had already eaten on their way back.)
The southwestward party came back with absolutely nothing, no knowledge had been gained, no spoils discovered, not even a single injury greater then a stubbed toe.

It is said that a thousand monkeys banging on keyboards will eventually compose the works of Mozart. Unfortunately, you know all too well just how long eventually can be, especially when working with monkeys. Still, this year manages to be a somewhat productive year for the Likslisk, with new farms, if they could be called that, being broken near the crags to the northeast, and the beginnings of a defensive trench being dug around Ill'thskz.

The greatest highlight of the year, however, is realization one evening while staring across the burbling volcanic wastes to the north of your dominion. Long have your people known these wastes as the home of hostile, semi-intelligent creatures which dragged still-living creatures into the boiling lava for reasons unknown. Staring at the horizon, you notice a small, uneven lump rising from the glowing red-and-ebony monotone of the volcanic sea.
An island? Why had I never noticed that before?
You wonder if it would be possible to reach it somehow... you know the igneous lumps which form a crackled shell over the lava are at least somewhat capable of being traversed, but the creatures which inhabit it would no doubt be a very real hazard.

Roberto sat at his makeshift desk, listening acutely to Leonard's descriptions of the failed farming attempts. Their farming knowledge from the Old World was useless without water. There was apparently no water anywhere, leading to several futile and increasingly desperate attempts to locate some during their first few ... days? Hours? Weeks? Who could tell? There wasn't even any weather, which was probably for the best -- There had been little recoverable stone from the wrecked market, and what was there had gone into a large and intricate rock garden to thank Zor. Sleeping under open sky, huddling around each other was doing none of them any good, but there simply wasn't anything to build houses with.

The only real option for shelter was to dig large defensive trenches around the camp. The ground was tough and unyielding, and their tools nearly useless, but the hard work would keep their minds off of their predicament.

7 morale gives +10% production/+15% construction
0.30 starting production labor. 0 + (3 * .10) = 0.60 production labor returned to pool
0.45 starting construction labor. 0 + (3 * .15) = 0.90 construction labor returned to pool

At first glance the land appeared dead, and in all their time, they had seen nothing living in the desolate wastland that they hadn't brought with them. But as they had discovered, the land was flowing with life energy. Soon the elves would be able to use it fuel their magic.
The trip through the various dimensions had left them barren. So they had to resort to other ways of having children and increasing their population. They had enough food now, and in one year the new elves would grow from babies inside their pods to full grown adults. The main drawback to this method is that it takes a insane amount of food to use, a single individual needing three or even more times the amount of food that a adult labor would need over the same timeframe, but still, it was time for them to grow. Magic was needed as well, but the newfound essence fields would provide that, and soon the first new elves to be born on this world would come.

Life passed by as it always did, people we feed, and the goddess was pleased. But with each passing day, the high priest grew more worried, especially as more of these glass shard were brought in. What has happened to the gentle trees that once covered the landscape? What could cause this abomination? And what are their connection with the new creatures they found stalking these fields? Further investigation will be needed.

Another worry was the expansion of the Santrek. By Codylidae standards it was a city of magnificence, but in reality was just more huts gathered together than normal with a few industrial buildings and a big meeting hall. Fortunately, the Swamp Mother seemed to approve of their actions so far, and it would not be a heresy to her to use her gifts to their best abilities.
