Well, as with writing arising as the result of a music-related action... so would architecture being a result of this, if you win. Makes perfect sense.

Ah, then this is a gift from our gods to the city, and should be written that way (as V did already). And, also as V did already, it's to be something new added to the city, not just altering history so that the thing always was there. (Though, if it nods back to retroactively "revealed" h...

So, since a minor domain related to the gift is a possible outcome of this gift, does that mean that the gift itself need not come from the domain(s) that we currently possess? Is this a gift from our characters, or the players taking an opportunity to free-form create more backstory for the city? I...

Turn sent.

Autarch, let me know if I handled my non-DSP stuff properly. Most of it was more "groundwork for stuff I plan on spending DSPs on in future turns" than actual stuff with useful results this turn.

A short distance to the Southwest lies the village of Blood Cove. While the other six villages around the city of Aditya are dedicated around farming, Blood Cove is more of an enclave of the wealthy, outside the walls of the city. Of course, there are farmers there, usually serfs working the land of...

Autarch, you'd previously confirmed that we could make "down payments" against larger power expenditures if we didn't have enough power all at once to do some action. (e.g. - I have 2 DSP available this turn, and wish to create a second High Priest, I can spend my 2 DSP now and then the fi...

I'll be going out of town on the 26th (with limited access to the Interwebs) until the 2nd. I also would be just fine with pushing the deadline out until the 5th of July or so. That allows Syl more breathing room anyway. It's win-win.

Her weeks in rehab seem to have only made her forget the safety rules of Gravin Threndor.

1. Do not offend Xar
2. Do not offend Syl
3. Do not ignore texts from Fist
4. Do not give Goatkiller666 something to babble on about

Did you count the ones in the Tales of the Acropolis, where Nyx does most of her posting?

Shawn stood on the hill, surrounded by the army of Aditya. With him is Marziale, Priest of Song, and the commander of the forces. He looks out to the lines of soldiers before him, trying hard to ignore the fact that behind him was an even large number of barbarians, equally bent on destruction. To t...

Why could not the Barbarians also have a god, working on their behalf?

So, let me just start by saying that while I'm disappointed with these results, they are totally reasonable. My disappointment is that I didn't realize something which, in hindsight, should have been pretty obvious, and would totally have sent me in a different direction. I knew there was a king to ...

I make no apologies. I was rushed, V had already done the Illiad version, and anyway... there's no shame in being derivative of Gaiman's "Sandman".

In the Wharf district, on the southern bank of the river, almost in the Shanty Town in fact, is a small non-descript building. The windows are boarded up, so no light spills out to show it's occupied, except when the main door is opened. The only way to know this is a public house at all is the plaq...

"You've all seen me, and spoken to me, while sharing this mead with us. It seems we talk about Love and Unity more now, as a city, than we did when Libidinal was still in our city. But I think that's why he has left us, and left us with this goblet. Love is greater than the gods of one city. Lo...

Surya?

"Last week, I spoke a bit about things we can all do to help prepare the city for an attack, while we hope one won't be necessary. A lot of it would be volunteer work, cleaning up around the city, and within the city." "As most of you know, Nyx has given the poor, the homeless, her sp...

Shawn speaks in the Heart of Darkness. Before him are the children of the faithful, who are here with him while their parents are off working. "Mister Shawn? Where did Nyx come from?" asks Phoebe. "Darkness has always been there, child. Just like the sun, birth, commerce, song, death ...

Theresa hands the goblet of divine mead to Szabad, and approaches the front of the crowd. More people are showing up to the surmons now, especially with Veralei joining the process. This means that it's no longer possible for all of them to get a taste of the mug during the time when the sun is touc...
