squaky pmed me, saying that the negar are too strong. Looking at it, he is totally right. Given their power, i suspect that given a hundred years they would snowball and kill all sentient life on the planet.
So, some changes.
First: the negar's strength is directly related to the phase of the moon. The closer it is to the full moon, the weaker negar are, on the full moon they cannot materialize. This effects their regeneration (none within 6 days before or after the full moon), strength (extremely weak close to the full moon), magic (almost none near the full moon) and the intelligence of the natural negar (close to the full moon they are basically suicidal lemmings and are unable to do things live avoid obvious traps or open doors), and difficulty to kill (within a few days of the full moon they will pop like soap bubbles, within a few days of the dark of the moon their hide is extremly tough). Negar are only at maximum strength and power within 2 days of the dark of the moon (so 5/28 days they are same strength, 13/28  they are basically jokes to fight, and 10/28 days they are fairly dangerous). Natural negar also have a lifespan of only 5 years, and new ones spawn 5 years after they die.

This means that the created negar (eg. dark elf negar and such), will stay inside the city (where it is always dark) when it is close to the full moon to stop from dying pointlessly. In addition, since most people the negar killed weren't warriors, they won't fight as a negar either, and will just peacefully live in the city.

In addition i change the negar from being etheral during the day, to living in a alternate plane (so that they phase shift at sunrise and sunset). The plane is the same as ours with the following exceptions: buildings in the real world still exist, and are impossible to damage or pass through or over (so you could build a fence and the negar couldn't get to the other side during the day). Oceans don't exist (eg. one step will take you from one continent to another).  And the negar are slightly stronger then in the regular world (and have strength inverse to the current cycle of the moon in the real world, so a negar would be super strong on the full moon, but weak when their is no moon).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The accursed king held his sword, weakly trembling and barely keeping both feet planted on the blood stained ground.  He looked upon the field with despair, seeing the corpses of his kingdom and his enemies.  The ethereal Negar that had followed him for his long years cackled and laughed at him.  "I told you, sire.  I foretold your kingdom's fall."  The king shoved himself to the ground in misery, and cried slowly for his lost lands, and the lost people.  "And it is all an exercise in futility.  They will regroup, and attack again, until the entire world is under their thumb."

Standing as strong as he could, the king reflected on this.  The eastern continent must be warned.  His boats wouldn't make it in time, but...  He grabbed at the Negar with his magic gauntlet, pressing against its throat.  "You will make me a Negar."

The ghastly spirit struggled and coughed, but still had a wide eyed look to him.  "Submitting to my offer now, of all times, your highness?"  Smirking, he grabbed at the king's arm.  "Here, then."  The Human who stood there moments before, disheveled and torn, looked nothing like his new, convulsing form.  Retching and heaving, the king fell to his knees and shrieked with agony.  His skin crawled, running through his entire body, and the twilight of the sky shone upon him.  It finished as quickly as it started, and the once great Human king found himself to be a Negar.

Moments later, the eastern continent mobilized its military, ready to fight the new threats who were emerging.  The eastern Queen was informed through an ethereal vision, which people found strange.  But as the moon emptied from the sky days later, all doubt was lost when a fully figured Negar stood with black eyes.  The western king stood ready with the army.  He wasn't able to save his kingdom, but damn if he won't save this one.  He sacrificed everything to ensure success.

Story idea?

Very nice, i had intended for the process to take 24 hours, but i suppose i don't see a reason that Ekona  can't do it instantly.

Also, Their isn't really anywhere for a army to attack (that non negar know about right now) besides the city in the land of darkness, and i can already predict that it will go VERY badly indeed even with a very large army (or the army could travel to the other plane that the negar live in, but that would go even worse).

[squeakyReaper]

This probably wouldn't happen until age three (or even be possible, really).  There are five cities at the moment.  Dwarfail, Far-bin-nar, Hunter's Peak, Tutunik Magoria and Chokla.  I hope to see more spread around as age two and three go by!

And yeah, I just felt like writing somethin' up so I made that.  I imagine particularly powerful Negar, or created ones who were sneaky in life, could get permission from the group to go around and destroy places from the inside.

Also, can the Dragon Hunters be named something else?  Since there are already the Hunters, it makes it a bit confusing.

The dragon hunter order are now the loke faroths.

Do you mean go into the human realm and destroy things, or negar betraying other negar and destroying stuff in the negar realm?

Like say a particularly powerful, militaristic empire comes up named A.  Well, the Negar just turned a powerful diplomat from country B who has a vendetta against empire C.  So the diplomat uses his ethereal presence to manipulate and taunt the ruler of A into going to war with C.

Well, i suppose, but i had rather intended for the negar to be unable to effect the regular world in ANY way during the day (eg. if you talk to someone they couldn't hear you), i suppose with sufficient magic it would be possible, and a negar diplomat/king/high ranking millitary officer would know facts about a kingdom that would easily be able to throw two nations into war (eg. our nation committed this atrocity against your people, or make up a atrocity that they didn't commit to make them go to war, our nation manipulated yours in this way), even though as a negar, i doubt they would be trusted at all by the people they are trying to manipulate.

In addition i change the negar from being etheral during the day, to living in a alternate plane (so that they phase shift at sunrise and sunset). The plane is the same as ours with the following exceptions: buildings in the real world still exist, and are impossible to damage or pass through or over (so you could build a fence and the negar couldn't get to the other side during the day).

I did this to make it easier for the negar to be seperated from and not effect humans during the day in any way. And so humans/elves/dwarves could go attack them if they have the magic powers and if they feel like it.

I use the 7 points I ahve to make the great wall of Last Haven between the mountains on Last Haven

lemon10's turn.

Hey, is it Lord Ashguard, Asgard or Ashford?  It changes every time you post...

[lemon10]

Yuck we are submitting our turns in order now? If its my turn 3 (if so, updating the turn thing at the right time would be nice), i haven't went yet, if its my turn two, i went earlier in the turn (ignoring whos turn it was)
My turn two was as follows:

I roll 8+19=27
I command (27-4=23) the created (eg. ones that used to be elven/human/thorian) negar to make the city of Chokla, one half is in the land of the dark, where they can reside without fear of the day, and the other half is in the land of the light, where it is always day (the city in this area is also etheral, and immune to any kind of damage), and they are always ethereal and free of danger of reprise.
I create the avatar Ekona (23-8=15), a negar who used to be a dark elf, skilled in magic at life, his new nature as a negar has expanded his power. Upon his turning he bound the souls of all the living negar to him, making him both exponentially more powerful and hard to kill, but also meaning that if dies, then all the bound negar will die with him.
I create the order of the dragon hunters (15-6=9) a group of negar whos goal is to turn dragons to further expand the power of the negar.
I advance the negar civilization (9-5=4) with greater magical powers in combat, and the ability for strong mages to defy the night/day for up to a minute (eg. they can stay etheral at dark for a minute, or stay solid for up to a minute after sunrise).

[squeakyReaper]

Yeah, it's turn 3.  Turn actions so far.  And osnap, it's actually Furtuka's move.  Just realized that.  Eheh.

[adwarf]

Its ashford when did I say asgard?

[squeakyReaper]

In the first post yeah.  I've been saying "Ashguard" this entire time, haha.

[Furtuka]

Sorry I wasn't able to do a turn today I had q math meet. Oh and squeaky not sure if it matters but when I created the quarrus I had placed them on the eastern continent

[squeakyReaper]

Oh bugger.  I already made a western city...  do you want me to retcon it, and place their city in the east?

Also Furtuka it is still your turn.  You can go now if you want.

Here is the current website build.  I'm going to work on Gelenson's for a while, since we're closing the first age.  I have most of the events of the first age, but I'm sure you'll find things I'm missing.  Up next is still the Crest Lizard, then the Fall of Lord Ashford...  argh.
