Re: The Afterlife

No, they were descended from from dinosaurs. Jon's amulet is an ancestral form, used for combat.

Ahh, gotcha.

They couldn't have been extinct for millions of years simply because there literally would be no artifacts or ruins left over, everything would be dust. Fifteen thousand years is at the outside of what I'd think that the tougher monuments and artifacts could last, but it's possible.

Don't forget that strong enchantments preserve things against decay. The Journal of Anef the First dates back to the Kingdom of the Nine (ca. -11,000 CR) and Elemacil was forged during the War of the Great Darkness (ca. -5,000 CR), and both are still in excellent condition with no hints at their extreme age.

The Pantheon came to Earth sometime before 15,000 years ago. The Lost Kingdom was influenced heavily by the Titans, and that was the human kingdom that was dominant around -15,000 CR. The Aedra and Daedra had their war with the titans around -14,000 CR, not long after the Lost Kingdom became, well, lost. :)

I always got the impression that Jon's reptile-folk were supposed to be actual dinosaurs. If that's the case, then the Tened probably lived millions of years ago, and were wiped out before humans were even walking erect.

I'd hazard a guess to somewhere around 10,000 years before the current day. The (d)aedra's arrival brought about the Tened's extinction. Enough time must have passed for them to become a forgotten people to all save the most learned scholars, but not so much time that their ruined cities and monuments have become nothing but dust and gravel.

Actually, in my second story to take place late november 707 (almost a year after) my character will have a significant conversation with the fellow just before he goes into winter sleep mode. Hopefully, the result of said conversation (ultimately up to the comunity) will actually help Laracin's situation in a way I don't want to specify before I finish my story, "Only in Metamor". So fear not, this tree has not been forgotten ^.^

How is Laracin doing?

in discussion MK Discussion / Realms of Wonder » How is Laracin doing?

During Winter Assault, Laracin was dug up and brought into the keep to protect him from being chopped down by lutins for a battering ram (or whatever other use). As of (the middle of) LToY, I haven't seen anything written concerning whether he survived the transplanting back in the garden or how he's recovering from the cut roots. There have only been a couple slight mentions (remembering previous encounters) of him in the intervening time.

Very, very true! I see it every time I look at my old stories and those I've done recently. The comparison is night and day.

This Tened idea raises an interesting question; exactly when did the pantheon establish itself on Earth?

Well, you only really get better at anything with practice. If it seems difficult, just keep chugging out words; you'll get better with time.

As one of the people working with you for proper characterization, I understand the pressures that you're facing. I'll have patience, which I shall use to improve my work.

Though I sometimes fear that I might be over-reaching beyond my skills.

Ok Logs, I put up my story so now you have to finish your second one up now! Get cracking!

For those who don't know (which… would be everyone besides nagolinc), I'm the friend who showed nagolinc this place and told him he should write here. He has a second story actually mostly finished, but he said he wouldn't finish it until I finished Sacrifice (my first story). Well now it's done, so you all have my official permission to go threaten to impale him with swimming noodles until he gets it done.

*undergoes grand mal seizure*

I'm not sure how, but that mailing list formats stuff weird and now it looks like I sent a txt that wasn't word wrapped. Is that just showing up weird on the mailing list page itself or is it screwed up on the sent e-mails too?

Whew, the thing's almost done. I've just got to give it one final read over and polishing and it'll be really done. It should be sent up to the mailing list in a day or two.

Welcome to Metamor Keep, Mr. Toast!

Please share any tomes of whatever dimensions you have with us. I am always eager to see more of this wonderful world we call Metamor. :-)

Well, this isn't supposed to tease you. It is supposed to give everybody a head's up on what I'm going to do so they don't feel like they have to wait for me to write it before forging ahead on their own works.

The reason is that I think it's going to take me a while to get through all of this. I've had very little time to write in the last month, and the next couple of weeks aren't that promising either.

This goes for those who've asked for my help on their tales too. I'm really sorry, but I'm not going to get to any of those for a while.

Oh well if we're going to count THAT, then yes you are indirectly responsible for me finding this place, but you didn't BRING me here, you just built the bridge I crossed. You may as well give equal credit to my roommate in freshman year who was boring enough I started spending more time on the internet :p Or to the artist who drew the banner that flagged my attention, or to the various authors I recognized from previous works in WoC or TBP and decided to stick around for at first. Besides, even if you WERE responsible, I'd never admit it now would I? ^.^

It's true Vir rakes in a lot of new people though, thankfully I got in through DMFA's Xepher link so he can't hold that over me ^.^

You mean the banner ad I made on the link network I added the MK site to because I though it would help get MK more exposure? ;)

Hey Toast! Always great to have new people, especially when they manage to read the (large chunk of) the archives! I myself have been around this place since August of last year (May actually, but meh) and been having a lot of fun. It's true Vir rakes in a lot of new people though, thankfully I got in through DMFA's Xepher link so he can't hold that over me ^.^ Anyway, looking forward to your story as new entries to MK are always welcome!
