RoaE: Act IV: It has Begun

Act IV: It has Begun


Introduction

So let's start with thank you for your patience in waiting for act 4 to arrive. But we are here and the game is surging with life. Now that we are we shall hammer forward to the power of the story.

Fluff

The Fate of the 4 Dwarven Clans: Due to the noble and dark efforts, the fates of the the four dwarven clans, Iron, Silver, Gold, and Copper have come to pass.

The Province of Black Coral Point has excepted the Iron clan with open arms. As the Silver clan gets a new start in mammoth end. However, before the other two clans could be rescued, tragedy struck. Demon possessed minions under the command of the province of Darkness, slaughtered the other two clans to the last. What a dark time. The blood flowed and the monsters relished in their bloodshed.

Tremors in Sarv: rumours of major quakes happening in Sarv. I wonder what it could mean.

People in Place: Time as pasted since first arriving here. Spies and agents have been placed, and the game of politics has adjusted. (Steal option has been added to the assassinate action)

Winged Servants: As some have come to realize, angels are among you. They sweep from province to province and strike at random. (To 'attack' the angelic host, you send armies to confront them.)

Game Details

Black Corel Point and Darkness: There is nothing left to dig for in these Provinces.

Uncovered:   Darkness has retrieved the heart of light and Mammoth's End has discovered the Banner of Salvation.


Powerful Spells
Angelic light: The Angel Sariel casts a protective barrier over.
Betrayal: Dark magic from Sheera twists the fallen angels heart.
Meter Storm: Deadly magic from Sheera bombards the province of Huldufolk.

What is Chained Lands?

Chained Lands is a Pathfinder game I am preparing to run. With nearly all world building aspects, short of the adventures themselves will b design by the Players. The levels will likely be capped at 6, and t experience system will be more based around the effort the players invest in building the world. But more on that later. The game currently has 6 players and I hope to record sessions and extra bit a we go.

Monday 30 May 2016

Chained lands Project: Deities

Deities of the world, from the minds of the players. Needs to be cleaned up but a good holding spot.


Esther "The One Who Became"
True Neutral
Domains: tranquility, acceptance, violence
Starting as a human freedom fighter in one of the bloodiest skirmishes to hit the continent Esther was an everyday human. She started as a wet nurse before becoming a warrior and eventually came to lead the rebellion.

After being brought almost literally to hell and after countless  impossible decisions the God's saw fit to deity her for her astounding capability in the face of intense pressure and insane odds.


 
Turrok.  
NG
Domains: artifice, undead and earth.
Turrok loves all creations of earthly origins. Undead are not intrinsically evil, they just typically are created by evil beings. Turrok claims to fame: creating magic, the major land masses and two of the three moons.
Broot chaotic evil deity of all things evil and tiny. Domains are chaos, evil, and plant life.He is constantly plotting in whatever way will best allow him to gain power in this world. He is totally unpredictable in all ways except that he is predictably evil. He appears like a mobile Venus fly trap.
Peronell 
chaotic good deity of war. 
Retribution, , war, and strength are his domains. 
His followers are constantly testing their battle prowess, to glory in the thrill of battle and self improvement through combat. Peronell rejects the need of slaves as warriors are never slaves.


Altholos 
neutral evil 
Whereas the good deities care more for their fellow life forms, and creations, his focus is on the individual. Dream, repose, glory are his domains. Glorifying the individual over the benefits of society is what makes this deity true evil.

Bingnagian 
Chaotic neutral deity of shifting personas. 
A trickster deity with domains in retribution, charm, and trickery domains. 
Often meddling in the affairs of others (both mortal a deity) simply for the joy of inflicting entertainment (for her) on others

 

Janshae is the Goddess of magic. 
The method of conducting magic is the thought area which Is worshiped.
Alignment: lawful neutral (as all Magick has rules, even if we don't understand them). 
Domains: magic,Knowledge and learning


Binding chains (LG deity)
Domains: community, protection, and nobility.
Also known as the benevolent master and faithful servant, this deity focuses on the responsibility of protection and security for all, and the sacredly of life. Seeing death and a final resort and murder as the greatest sin. As well, Binding chains is the God of slavery, but has strict edicts of the treatment of those owned. From Sacred Slaves, to those punished for committing the greatest sin. Many in slavery pray to this deity, that their masters be held to Binding Chains accords.




Ly'lily, the godess of dark evolution. LEPortfolio: healing, fertility, mutations. Domains: Healing, Evil, and 'undecided'


This dark godess is often attributed to the creation of monsters in the world. As well the source of magical healing in th world. She encourages magical experimenting on the living and destests the undead.
