Whenever the people gather to share a meal and a drink He may appear among them. Those who are generous with little find their bellies full, hearts light and the weariness of the day cast aside. In time the appearances of Har'Ak would lead some to tell tales of a folk of master artisans that lived within the mountains. The greatest among them would be said to be the brewmeisters, though many would doubt such things were ever more than fantastic tales told by friendly drunks. Har'Ak's care for the people would sometimes manifest in menacing aspect. Those who took their feasting and drinking to excess would, in the fullness of their folly, occasionally find themselves nose-to-breast with The Dour Man. A towering brute that would stand between them and those they would harm. The Dour Man is said to have hands like hammers and those too dim to walk away from trouble often find the truth of it. To this day many places that serve a meal or drink to strangers keep a club nearby with a fist carved into the business end. A reminder to all that to disdain hospitality is to risk the Hammer Hand. Primary Aspect: The Hearth and Hospitality Geography: Sentient Life: Gift to Civilization: Ripe Meat off the Bone and the Strong Drink Fauna/Flora: Interference: Mythic Monster or Guardian: The Dour Man Secondary Domain: Secondary Domain: Secondary Domain: Welcome aboard and well done for getting your choice(s) amended for Primary Aspect so quickly Pick two choices on Friday and then two on Saturday and Sunday. Most of the rest of us are taking the weekend off as we have already made the requisite choices so only those that have not will be taking the weekend to catch up.

Sociotard Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Pandemonium chases a bunch of actors "the whole script is on the worms!Just try 'em" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Pandemonium had gone too far in Concinnant's opinion. Literacy suddenly was impossible? The written word no longer existed? Learn, memorize, only to have the knowledge gone again as soon as the worm was taken out? Was this an attempt to keep each generation ignorant never to truly gain from the next? True, oral teaching could continue, but with this system true innovation could be cut down a trickle! Nor was the G0D of Crafts and Technology alone in this. Dagna too was displeased. For writing was a form of art, and written music meant more songs could be shared. Whatever Pandemonium's intentions were, the point was his interference had cut out many options and replaced it with few. So, with Dagna's help, Concinnant turned to his greatest resource, the ingenuity of his worshipers! Crafters, inventors, minds who would not be slave to wormy tyranny! Ideas flew back and forth for what seemed a generation, and then! At last, the great invention came forth in concept and was developed by a think tank of many races! This device would stabilize the mind, making it so one could read and write without headaches or madness! It was protective of mind body and soul and even was said to enhance one's natural intellect! It helped reduce outside influences on one's private thoughts! Concinnant was pleased by the mortal craftsman who devised the salvation of the written word and soon priesthood (As wall as some others) would be known for wearing them as ceremonial garb for they were dazzling items. Thanks to Dagna's mining, the two priesthoods shared the secrets among themselves and their followers freely. No, not for them the chore of shoving a worm up the nose (Though some still did), rather, they could pass on knowledge in dignity to those who also wore the device. It was dubbed "The Zinnchapeau!" Let folks use worms if they must (One suspects Tziruu would thrive), but for those that preferred the nearly lost ways of literacy, the secret ways of symbols on paper or other surfaces, there was the Zinnchapeau! Interference: "The Zinnchapeau!" (AKA "TIN FOIL HATS WORK TO PROTECT YOUR BRAIN!") (Above , a picture of a Human High Priest, Weer "The Dignified" Allus) death tribble, Logan D. Hurricanes and L.

Hermit Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Alas, it is entirely possible that those wearing The Zinnchapeau might end up being disbelieved in some cultures and locations. Why, in some lands they might even be seen as madmen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Same offer applies.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Flora: Tulanok is a plant that grows exclusively under the sea. The Amamaun have cultivated it for centuries and discovered its special properties. Those who eat of the tulanok gain enhanced mental powers and can transmit their thoughts telepathically. It is such a staple of their diets now that most of the Amamaun can "send" even when they have not eaten it for days. Furthering their reputations as mystics, the Amamaun usually protect this harvest which is sought after and highly prized among the surface world. They will share with very special and honored guests. Tulanok also has a slight narcotic effect which is even stronger on air breathers. death tribble, Hermit and Old Man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
