Ascendant - Game On!

To Renojustin :
What do you say? Actual age of land of Ascendant is very fine topic!

Unfortunately, Acashic Records do not provide a paleonthological data for us to analyse. So it would be very inconclusive discussion...

Ahhh but Acashic Records reveal everything. They start by measuring the half-life of certain rare compounds such as Rubinium and Succubinium. Then they go on to buy a round of drinks for everyone at the bar, and as we all know, bar gossip is one of the main ways of finding specific information that you need to know in a fantasy world.

We'll need a strong Astral mage to cast it; where's Yoth'Shothogg? ...but then it would probably lie about it to suit its own unknowable, nefarious purposes! And then there's Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

Perhaps we'll never know for sure just how old the ancient and sacred land of Ascendant is. The only thing we can be certain of is that it is the birthplace of a GOD!!

If you count the entire series, so far it's been the birthplace of two gods (perhaps three), and will soon witness the birth of another.

And Yoth'Shothogg is too busy making sure that the Aboleths have access to land to cast any spells for this so-called "common good". Who wants common good anyways? I want excellent good, good that only I have access to. I'm not letting the other pretenders use my toys!

Well, depending on point of view, it was birthplace of about 15 gods... Check it - must add one for previous Pantokrator. It's just that most of them currently are sleeping over results of the last party with the person mentioned above...

The C'tis have bathed too long in the warm sun! Therefore Staling a turn! Damn 3 misfortune...never again...

Well that'll teach me for searching for magic sites with my pretender. Damn helheim and their glamour to the grave.

So how much work is it to revive a dead pretender?

Long has the Lord Stravinsky achieved enlightenment, and just as long have there been those, hairless and ape, who doubt him. How can this be -- has he not escaped the cycle of samsara, has he not in so doing embodied samsara itself?

Perhaps there was the greatest doubt when I, his disciple Amitrajit, declared that there would be peace with the people of the sky. "In our moment of triumph?" cried the ape people in anger. So cried the most holy of the White Ones, so cried the slightest of the Atavi. The markata cried nothing but instead flung feces. Though the apes are the most enlightened of peoples, even they could not see the truths that Lord Stravinsky knew. Even I could not see them, even as I knew they were there.

But there they were. Following the peace, after a single season has not the land of the apes doubled in size? Are not the sky people, who were before trapped in the cycle of violence and suffering, now shaken from their complacency, now ready to seek the path to enlightenment? After our show of leniency, has not Devasura, a long-fallen Devata, returned to us seeking redemption?
