Right, because it's the size of the tree that really determines the amount of suffering. Not, for example, the ambient temperature around the tree... the humidity... the amount of vermin (or vultures) eating on you... whether you're tied or nailed to the tree... whether you were wounded before or during the period of hanging...Odin wrote:This Halideva seems to have been a noble, powerful goddess. But she did not have the power to create anything on par with Yggdrasil. Nine days hanging on the Ash was like unto an entire year on Eiran's Tree of Life.Stonemaybe wrote:Nine days Murrin? That Odin was a wuss - Brid's there for the turn!

Ah, I didn't realize I was speaking with one so young and weak. The physical considerations have nothing to do with it with beings such as Brid and I. It is the nature of the tree, the power of it, that matters.

My apologies, AllFather and everyone else.Xar wrote:Still missing several turns... I'm surprised, actually. Because of this, I'm extending the deadline until tomorrow (saturday), 11 pm GMT (6 pm EST) but after that, no other turns will be accepted...
One of the players in this house was informed of being named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist last Friday, and between the unexpected influx of offers from schools not even considered, and other ongoing commitments, deadline slipped away from both of us...

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Odin was here long before any of you. Even before he changed his name back to Odin, it was known that that's who Han-shan was.
