Once, there was a beautiful Amazon girl. No maiden was she, but then the Amazons never cherished that trait in their girls. But this day, she came across a stranger hunting in her jungles. All know that Nyx' beasts hunt the evils of the world and destroy them. We've heard the story of plantation own...

Deep in the jungle, unguarded except by the jungle itself, is the Great Temple of Nyx. Rising high above the ground, the top of this great stone pyramid is nonetheless below the canopy of the even greater trees who guard it. link to image The stones of the temple are old, and worn. The jungle has ea...

So, is there any particular restriction on when we can post stories of the People? One the one hand, what we do in our turns means little unless the People are talking about it in the threads. On the other hand, I suppose there's some kind of advantage to be had for a more prolific writer. Though......

Several days after Surya and Virelai performed the consecrations on their temples within the Rotunda, the first evening of the new moon arrived. That evening, as many others, Theresa spoke at the Sunset Sermons. As always, she spoke of the Unity of the city, and the community (and individual) benefi...

Indeed, it is pretty much entirely a political creation, not a faith-based one. But, anticipating some Acropolis variant of Nietzche coming along and claiming that our loss of faith has undermined all of the social benefits of religion, we're covering that angle as well. Maybe it's more like an Inte...

If I had to guess, I'd say it was the Fibinacci Sequence, or Golden Spiral . I'm no music theorist, but I believe that there's something about the mathematical relationship of one musical note to the next, being somehow based on that pattern. That's what I remember from the old Walt Disney thing. (S...

Virelai, it seems awfully convenient that you claim no control over a group almost entirely filled with those who prefer you over all others. That they may act against the interest of other gods of this city, without oversight by you, simply because they are not officially your church. You make many...

Not that I mean to accuse anybody, but... perhaps it should be pointed out that the Barbarian horde had been to the north of our city for several months, not doing anything, until Virelai sent her dancers up there, and then sent her own priest to talk to them. Now they're using song to escape us. An...

Theresa strolled through the marketplace, near the artisan's guild. She saw the refugee women staying there, now visibly with child from their barbarian rapists. Barbarians, some of whom even now, were prisoners of the city. Some of the women had the stereotypical 'glow' about them, happy in the new...
