  Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 234)CrazyMLC wrote: I'm curious about his name, or perhaps what became of his blade. Rauha: Auflern Staube. After he killed his brother and took the kingdom, his sword was passed down the family for generations. After the corruption, which his kingdom survived, the sword was modified with parts of a beast core, making it into a magic weapon. The sword is Kuolema, a blade that was once shining silver, but became a brownish red over the centuries from the blood it let loose. I do not know where exactly the blade is now, but I assume it is still with his descendants. They are strong people, I do not believe they would have been killed off. |

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 234) I had no idea the blade had became such a gruesome weapon, stained with the blood so, or that Auflern had claimed the throne. Mmm...
Do you know of the struggle for power between shamans and some kind of secret magic? It's an interesting tale I once heard, though I don't know any of its details. |

Do you know of the struggle for power between shamans and some kind of secret magic? It's an interesting tale I once heard, though I don't know any of its details. Rauha: Secret magic? You must be referring to either Alchemy or the law of Kaasiala. Alchemy is similar to the Ruhe's gate magic, using a bridge between this world and the otherworld to one's advantage. While gate magic would simply let things through, Alchemy focused on transporting physical matter into the otherworld, modifying it with the otherworld's laws, and bringing it back into the physical world. This was their art of Transmutation. There was an incident where a transmutation resulted in a massive crater, an explosion surpassing the power of my kind, and the Daeli and the Ruhe set out to exterminate all Alchemists and their knowledge. The law of Kaasiala, is, hmm. You see, when spirits enter your realm, we take some alternate form and usually have a connection to our realm that maintains the form. If the form in our realm is destroyed, the one in yours is as well. This form can be many things - simple objects, bursts of energy, strange creatures, environmental disasters. Laws. When Kaasiala entered your realm, he took the form of a law, one that made magic occur when certain markings were made. The Ruhe did not approve of this, and their mightiest gate shamans destroyed Kaasiala's body in our realm, ending the law. |

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 234) Fascinating! But yes, the second one sounds like what the story was about, with the shamans destroying that form of magic. I wonder why they decided to destroy the spirit responsible?

I wonder why they decided to destroy the spirit responsible? Rauha: The law of Kaasiala resulted in a great deal of ingenuity and automation, as well as much destruction. When the layman could reduce half a city to rubble with a piece of paper and several months of sitting around, things tended to, not remain intact. The ease of access combined with its great power made it difficult for civilizations to remain so. |

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 234) I see! That does sound like something the world would be better off not having around, simply because of the destructive power it gives to the individual, same for Alchemy. If only they were safer.
If a spirit came into this realm and became some kind of sentient creature, would it be aware of what had happened? What creatures can they manifest as? |

Rauha: Whether or not they are aware, it can depend on their strength or intelligence before they entered your realm. As for what forms they can take, they can be anything. Witches look like they are made of artificial materials like cloth, manticores appear to be flesh and bone like your normal creatures. There exist creatures that are simply rocks. They have a core, they think, and they are just rocks. |

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 234) I suppose maybe there are others, stranded without a functional body, then...
I ask, mostly because of a problem I've been facing. I woke up not too long ago, not knowing who I am, on the side of the road as a group of strangers came past. I joined their group without so much as a second thought, and it turned out they'd all had similar histories. We all woke up with amnesia, or foggy memories, right next to other members. None of us are quite normal, either. We each learn new skills at a rate that appears to be abnormally fast, and have some sort of connection to each other that I can't fully explain. One of us is even a negation user, which is pretty extraordinary, it seems. Have you heard of anything like that before? |

I do not know what it is, but there is a force that places you, its game pieces, on to the board. I do not know who or what is behind this. All I know is that someone, sometime, called it 'Red.' I do not know what that name signifies. It does not have the power of ancient magic, but achieves victory with few moves and lets the pieces do the rest. |

No, it needs to be destroyed. It will be destroyed. Rest your mind on this. Um... I've been wondering for a bit, but... The bucket out here, with the... Parts. Why exactly...?" |

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 234) Is there any way I could find out more about this 'Red'? Someone who might know more? Maybe I'm hoping for too much, but still, I have to ask.
