Posted by: MynameisDen« on: November 05, 2016, 06:15:00 AM »We should also get our own calendar? Because 11th of Nov~ XX16 is kind of weird. Nothing too fancy. Just a calendar date like the 1st year was the year Elta was created? Nothing related to any prophet. Just the cities first construct? So we'd be in the 3rd or 5th year of the new calendar? Ya hear me?

I'd kinda like to see Etla get its own religion going at some point in the future. @Lionheart and I have been working on something to this effect. I know he had mentioned in his one thread about religion. A concept of Light and Darkness kind of thing. I think it would be an interesting concept at its base, but yeah... Etla was never a religious continuity as LE had mentioned before, but I do agree, seeing some kind of religious aspect be introduced and developed would be neat and help promote more historical events!

So in the same token their deity's are just uber powerful characters who left this plain of existence for wanting one with greater challenge and potential for their skills, yes? In regards to D&D's concept of godhood, that's not entirely accurate. By D&D standards, gods can definitely be slain, their powers stolen, and their worship dismantled. The Forgotten Realms setting maintains that gods will simply shrivel up and die without worship; this the decree of that pantheon's overdeity. They are more than simply ascended characters, however. Most of the pantheons listed across D&D's various core and splat books are not former mortals; they're primordial entities. A few, such as Lolth, began as a demon lord and eventually ascended to godhood through a combination of mortal worship and stolen power. What precious few of D&D's gods there are that began their existence as mortals have all but lost their original identities whilst ascending. Even a lesser deity would be considered powerful well beyond mortal reckoning. You might could kill one in an epic level campaign that has allowed the acquisition of a divine rank or two, but there's almost no chance of being able to do it using only core and splat books and 20th level characters. Between their already ridiculous stats and the further gains of possessing several divine ranks, these entities are virtually untouchable except by other gods and near-gods. The gap becomes even wider when you factor in intermediate deities, which are themselves as far above lesser deities as lesser deities are mortals. Above them are greater deities, and above those is an overdeity. All that being said, the dream doesn't stick to D&D's canon. It's kind of a melting pot. I'd kinda like to see Etla get its own religion going at some point in the future.

Posted by: Eliel« on: July 25, 2016, 02:00:07 PM »Jay explained it pretty well. It is just the main island and a few smaller islands surrounding it currently.
Posted by: river« on: July 25, 2016, 01:38:45 PM »Hi. I'm a new player and I just wanted to clarify, so basically the island of Etla exists in a world that includes nothing but the island itself, and the only things to come from off of the island are what find their way into the rift?

 Posted by: Takurasho« on: July 12, 2016, 12:06:47 AM »Bumping this thread for posterity.
Posted by: Lionheart« on: May 06, 2016, 02:39:30 PM »Everyone has good points.
I have certainly listened to them. Many of you have already pointed to where I personally want to take things, though the character is not quite there only because RP has to happen! Great feedback.  |
