Pantheon: The Third Age - Rules and Comments Thread

[Xar]

Time has shifted and some things have had a different outcome than some of you may remember... poke around the threads and you might pick up one or two important differences.

Oh you're joking.

10,000WGD to whoever PM's me a list of what's changed?

Any takers?

There's at least one major change in recent history, which can be easily found out if you poke around... more changes are spread here and there, though.

[Menolly]

AllFather, as cho stated above, I have not memorized everything so the changes are not blatantly jumping out to me. I seem to remember somewhere in the background thread or somewhere that there was a region that suffered the curse of differentiating time, other than Quiet and Bohi, but now no longer see it. Am I recalling wrong, or was there an area that was affected by time in this way since the start of the Age which is no longer mentioned?

And we have a taker! 1,000 WGD to whoever guesses who it was correctly. (And no, the taker isn't eligible. )

Um, was Siria dead when Xar first posted that story piece? I'm sure I would have remembered that.

Edit: Yeah, I don't remember Jameak resigning, and the Lords deciding to give up.

[Menolly]

*nodding*

I just stumbled upon that myself, as cho is urging the Pantheon to check out...

[I'm Murrin]

Can anyone find references to Siria in older posts? I want to know how she died. The last I remember was her arriving in Shaldir from the sea, IIRC, quite a long time ago.

[Menolly]

I am slightly confused there.
Was Siria Jameak's daughter, or The L-rd General's?

The AllFather says Time has shifted.
Perhaps now she has never arrived at all?
Perhaps the shift in Time has altered whose daughter she is?

[The Numen]

Siria had returned to him through a Time Reaver rift.

Now there's no mention of the Reaver at all. (There had also been some comment that the TR was as much a boon as a bane to the Lords.)

Combine that with the change in title to the TR thread Zephyr started (where Koel posted a lot of detail), to "the Forgotten Time Reaver"...

I wonder if TR has been removed from our timeline? I kind of expect the Events thread to start being changed, and then the map.

[I'm Murrin]

Siria was Lord-General Admar Tellem Meckros' adopted daughter, same as she is in the current version. She was a mutant born to and abandoned by some of his followers, immortal and capable of regenerating her flesh. I would very much like to know how she died.

[Menolly]

But Jameak is referring to her as his daughter in this story of the L-rds of Eiran.

Fascinating.

Oh! I now take that back.

The story is changed yet again!
Now it is not Siria, but Lirania Jameak mourns.
I thought Lirania was like a spouse to Jameak, and not a daughter, but I have not read up on their relationship in a long, long time. I may be confusing Larania with another female involved with Jameak in the Second Age...
But the Grim L-rd says he also mourns his own daughter...

...and it is now blatantly stated that the L-rds are no more.

[I'm Murrin]

Yeah, before they talked about both Siria and Lirania, with Admar dominating the middle of the conversation more, now the speech is shifted round a bit so Jameak takes more focus and only Lirania spoken of.

[Zephyr]

Wouldn't it be cool to discuss this stuff in the Game thread?

[I'm Murrin]

Bel has more important - and less abstract - things to think about than the alterations to a piece of text his player considers more of a world-building and flavour thing than in-character knowledge.

If something comes up that would cause Bel to directly experience these thnigs, he might respond.

(The general rule of thumb is if my character would have no reason to be watching events in a particular place and time, they won't know it happened unless a) it's in the events thread or turn results, b) it's shared by another character who experienced it, or c) Xar states that they saw it.)

[Zephyr]

Yeah. But you're helping them work it all out OOC. Is there a reason they can't talk about it IC???

[I'm Murrin]

As far as I'm concerned my character doesn't know the details of the conversation between the Lords, so he can't really discuss it. If we had something more tangible like actual evidence of the Time Reaver no longer being in the timeline, then he mgiht join in, but Xar's only given us the alteration to a scene that concerns things Bel doesn't give a damn about.

The rest of you can feel free to treat it however you like, I know my ideas about how to look at all this are very different from most of you. (I still refuse to openly acknowledge the Allfather as part of Pantheon canon in my in-game personae, even though he clearly is considered so by Xar himself. Though that seemed to be because players dragged this concept of the GM as a higher deity into things themselves. )

Good post.

So how far along is the turn atm, Xar? Seems like you're giving out hints faster than we've been used to lately.

[Menolly]

Not that I expect the AllFather to answer, but thank you so much for asking, Murrin.

You have no idea how difficult it is to restrain myself...

[Creator]

yeah ... I WOULD have expected that question from Menolly ... or Fist!! (tho Fist would probably have txt'ed it! )
