Void Rift Report!

Xephyr's going to probably avoid you.

Spoiler: No Sugar-Coat in This Spoiler

Especially because she's the Fragment of Sorrow and already has low enough self esteem

 

Dawhhhhh...

Welp.

 

Let's go over some abilities Xephyr has and some things about her personality

Spoiler: Not all, but some...

First off, she can spread frost on the ground and travel anywhere her frost reaches.
She can form crystals of ice at extreme temperatures, both to lock opponents out of a fight and as an attack.
She can form crystal walls
She has partial heat immunity, but has no control over the product of melted anything
She is extremely shy and is used to being bossed around
She's a tactician who secretly enjoys scouting runs
Her tome allows her to wield Void energy, letting her become extremely dangerous in the dark

 

.... And another person I cannot incinerate. Of course.

 

No, you can incinerate her.
a) Why would you- oh riiight
b) Melting may cause issues with incineration

 

Just came to look over this, I see you've read Eragon.

 

Mey beh :3

 

Just finished the Darklands map. Took me around 45 minutes to complete. In case you don't understand the symbols, though you probably will:
Things which look like hills in the Sea of the Lost - Those are waves. Ik they don't look good, but Brisingr takes up a bit of this map, so I had to make a difference between them.
Lollipops in the Forest of Nyme - Trees
Pointy things in the Shrouded Peaks - Mountains
Pointy things covering several areas, also dotted around the map in some places - Settlements and Outposts
Three weird things sticking out from one place in the Swamps of Decay - Just some things which are meant to be shrubs to show that that area is swampy.
Things which even I can't begin to describe in the plains in the centre... - I.. I just don't know what I was thinking when I drew those. They're meant to be ruins from the Wars of the Doomed.

Feel free to ask questions about the Darklands now that you can see this map!

 

Ah, that's where the Sea of the Lost is.

...Surprise, Runetrel.

 

I was actually going to make the coast longer but then I realised that the Darklands wouldn't fit with Brisingr and Gargantuan in location unless there was a kingdom between the three, so I just made the Darklands have less coast, but a bit more land than I'd planned. I mean, the Darklands is now pretty much bigger than Gargantuan in size according to the scale on the previous maps, though maybe not quite as big as Brisingr.

 

Coast is still big enough for...
...uh
...you'll know when it happens.

 

Suspense is suspensy (I don't think that's a word but I don't care, writers make their own words up all the time).
And yeah, I know that it is still big. I mean, Emeraldonia is about 100 miles long (Rogue said it was as long as Long Island and Long Island is 100 miles long, give or take). And in scale with stuff in the Darklands (this is from comparing the scales on the other three maps), Emeraldonia is about as big as the Forest of Nyme. In Gargantuan, half as big as the part of the kingdom which isn't No Man's Land. And in Brisingr, about as big as the mountain in the centre.

 

Right. Started typing something a few days back, never got around to it.

...You can has one hint.

Spoiler: Said Hint

It involves why I'm not allowing someone else to take the third god slot

 

(No idea what happened to my last post)

My weapon's info is incorrect on the OP

Regalius

​

An incredibly strong blade made of an unknown material. It can channel Reflet's powers.

And here's drelsh

A rare gemstone found in the mountains of Brisingr (most commonly in the Cyntherna Mountains). Dragons are naturally drawn to it, and they may attack the owner. This makes mining it incredibly dangerous. It radiants it's own heat.

 

"May attack the owner"
Oh boy. This'll be fun.

 

Anyone who's read through a ton of the original threads knows what's coming. Not much changed, but it's a different scenario and everything.

Except I finally named the goddess.

Spoiler: The Island of Aurilon

Goddess of Storms, Keila
Daughter of the Cyclone, Aria
Daughter of the Gale, Rina
Daughter of the Quake, Lisa

Each commands an elemental beast, the goddess an exception
The three Daughters of Storms are demigods
Aria has a pet Leviathan
Rina rides Ziz (though is seldom seen due to how high of an altitude she usually keeps)
Lisa commands Behemoth (who acts like a dog in her presence)

Yeah, elementals. I wanted to.

 

Weird things around Matu: Ruins
Lollipop shaped things: Trees
Pointy things at the port and ???: Houses
Dotted line: Road

Sea of the Lost: The sea between the Darklands and the Lost Kingdom. This isn't the same sea as the one between Aurilon, as the sea south of the Lost Kingdom has not had so many lost things at its bed. Lots of monsters lurk in this sea.

Port Efram: While this settlement was always small, it didn't ever need to be large. While Runetrel in the Darklands is large, Runetrel has a large population. Efram, on the other hand, has very few houses but instead has a vast fleet. The harbour reaches out far into the sea... or at least it used to. (The harbour itself with all the boats and stuff pretty much stretched across the entire bay it is in)

The Birthlake: Few now know what this place is. But rumours have spread from those that do that the Lost held their newly born babies in the water to bless them with its power. Nobody knows how or why it was created, and since that includes the Gods (may make an exception for Keila or the Daughters of Storm if I need to) then the Gods cannot have created it for any reason. Now, the area around this lake is becoming overgrown, and the natural beauty of this area is surprising, possibly thanks to the Birthlake itself. The water is said to heal those with diseases or curses and also minor and major wounds.

???: Ok, this place I won't reveal anything about. If the characters do go to the Lost Kingdom, they will likely come across this place. And no, this place won't help you to get 100% quest completion.

Ruins of the City of Matu: If you know the basics of Dark Script, you will know what the name of the city once was: Lost. Nobody knows how the name began, as the Lost do not speak Dark Script. It is possible that Eras gave the name... but why? (This is going to be another mystery I'll leave in the rp. Your characters may work out both of these, though it will likely depend on whether or not something happens in this kingdom). This city was small for a city, around the size of Nyme, as many people lived on the sea their whole lives... and of course many were fighting/raiding Aurilon (I'm guessing that happened from what Aria said).

Palace of the Lost King: This is possibly the biggest mystery of the whole kingdom. The Lost King's real name was never known... but only one thing was: he was immortal. He never aged, never died and unless there were hundreds of people who looked like him who changed places, which there weren't, then he was the same person through the whole history of the Kingdom of the Lost. Nobody knows how he came to be immortal.

Note: I've decided to make quite a few mysteries around the Lost Kingdom because they are known by very few people. The ??? one nobody knows the answer to, and the other three (the creation of the Birthlake, why the city was named in Dark Script, the Lost King's immortality) Eras knows the answers to but nnbody else: not Reflet, not the Void Cult (that's what I'm naming it), nobody. All four mysteries are actually linked because of one thing, which will likely be revealed in the rp at some point.

Also, I now only have the map of the whole world... or at least, that was going to be the only thing I had to do. But of course, there is now going to be Aurilon so I'll wait for more info on that kingdom. Also @Pit and Dank Pit are you still going to do that ice kingdom? Just wondering, because I'll either wait for both provinces to be fully designed and then make the maps of those (if both of you and @Exvhius want me to) then make the final map, OR I'll make the final map in the next week and then make the other maps once these two kingdoms have been designed, then I'll make the final map again.

 

I'm working on it, yeah.

Kind of slow because I don't have much time to spare e_e

 

Yeah, I find the same with the maps, and a tonne of old scrapped lores I've made.

 

Aurilon map is pretty small. I mean, it's an island with a town, a farm cluster, a tiny port, and a temple.

It's never seen war for generations. Nobody's armed.
