But I will miss having fun with peoples titles. I was going to hold them to the epithets they got when they created their pretenders. Why would I have anything to do with a pretender whose titles included Duke of Corruption, or God of Fraud and Theft, or Patron of Liars?

That's why I made sure that my god's titles weren't crazy. I got "Prince of the Deeps" I think, and "Prince of Metals". Fairly thematic for Atlantis, I say, with their Basalt Kings.

My inner pedant forces me to point out that basalt is a form of volcanic rock, not a metal.

And did we figure out what the deal with Yomi is?

I would very much like to play Pangea.
Under the carefree direction of Annaga-Gradana the peoples of Pangea begin to undertake what would be called an isolationist policy in other cultures, but in Annaga-Gradana's domain is merely an extension of her Pangea centric will. Not yet gaining the hatred of humanity that would characterize the future peoples of Pangea, Annaga-Gradana's time is one of boundless passion, insatiable lust, and languid slumber, a calm before the storm.

No word yet on who Yomi is.. If I don't hear from them soon I'll just delete the pretender to make sure.

Hey-hey,

I've written a short intro to Ulm now. No prizes for guessing which pretender I'm using...

Short? Really?

I'm afraid I have to demand you lower the quality of your writing. You're making me look bad, and we can't have that.

...I kid, I kid.

Beginning surely looked familiar...

But a good twist nevertheless.

Darkwind · #**208** January 28th, 2009, 09:18 PM

I don't recognize the beginning (maybe I'm just not well-read?), but I envy your writing skills. I'm going to have to step it up a notch.

Oh, I nearly forgot, I need to know the url for the wiki

Well, I hope I don't spoil anything but it's a modified quote from the beginning of one of the classical Conan stories - which, of course, was an inspiration for EA Ulm!

I don't remember the title offhand, but this episode was also taken as the starting episode of Conan the Barbarian movie. Both Howard's stories and movie are definitely worth to check - even though I generally love some other Howard's cycles more (namely Solomon Kane, Bran MakMorn, plus horror stories and humor ones, Bearcreek Gentleman being a favorite among the latter).
And step, for all things! It isn't easy to produce good-quality text constantly, so you may well surpass us somewhere at the middle. But I hope we will have something which would be enjoyable to read.
