Title: Visualizing Zalanthas..
Post by: Delirium on September 20, 2004, 05:37:47 PM
Help me find some good pictures of desert scenes that could be applicable to Zalanthas. I know someone (Naephet, possibly?) posted some gorgeous ones, but they elude my searching attempts. So, I've turned to google, and you guys. I don't know about anyone else, but I enjoy being able to have a clear picture in my mind of what various places in-game would probably look like.

Here's some I've found so far.

A patch of Tablelands... (http://www.saharamet.com/desert/photos/desert2.jpg)

More Tablelands... (http://lina.perriere.free.fr/landscape/desert.jpg)

The Salt Flats (http://www.saharamet.com/desert/photos/field.jpg)

The Shield Wall (http://aku-aku.com/images/southwest/canyon.jpg)

The Sandy Wastes (http://www.saharamet.com/desert/photos/dune01.jpg)

Sunrise on the Red Desert (http://www.saharamet.com/desert/photos/sunrise2.jpg)

"More tablelands" is almost exactly how I picture a certain spot on the North Road, just past Luirs.  I think it's "Under an outcropping of rock"?  I'm not sure.

I was a bartender at a resort in Death Valley for a season.  My experience there colors my Armageddon sessions.  It was infernally hot, barren, and unpleasant- yet Zalanthas is even worse.  It didn't prevent Europeans paying quite a bit of money to stay there.  It was called the Furnace Creek Inn and you can probably Google it.

Cool [sorry, still stuck at that phase where this is the word]

After looking at it, it makes me realise that many of the hunts that I did is actually quite impossible, I mean you probably need at least three people to take out the half-giant face to face, not to mention a bahamet/beetle. [no, never hunted them before]

Hey Tlaloc.  Actually, the picture I used as a Gith is titled as a "gith shaman" taken from one of my old Dark Sun modules.  If you look at Fnord's pictures on the first page titled "Warrior battling gith" and "bad ass gith warrior", those are pretty standard depictions of how Brom envisioned them to be.  I agree that I picture them looking more "githyanki" like as well--I actuallaly have some pictures by Baxa that i'll scan when I get a chance that do look much more like classic D&D Githyanki and such.  Most of Baxa's pictures i've seen however aren't nearly as detailed, but i'll post when I have them scanned in.

Huh, I've never associated that picture with a gith.  It's always been the standard image of a belgoi to me, perhaps because he's holding that little belgoi bell.  Apparently I'm not alone either because I've found some similar images:

I use to play the Dark Sun campaign setting back in the day and i've always been under the impression that was a gith too.  Looking at it now as a Belgoi would explain a few things though, like why it is holding a bell...  It's got blue skin like a Belgoi too.  But Belgoi have webbed feet, are straight backed and never use weapons.  Maybe it's a gith that married a belgoi and it's his day to ring the bell?

What i've always had problems visualizing is a carru...

Wow, I remember downloading an older version of that years ago - looks like they just recently released a new one for Macs. Thanks for the reminder; I'm going to play around with it some more now that I have it again.

Definitely some nice pictures in here.  One thing I noticed:

QuoteWhy you can't see a tent in the marketplace during a sandstorm:
http://www.juliemasterson.com/Gallery/morocco/images/sandstorm.gif

In this picture, I can see a large dune, and other geography, that is obviously more than 100 yards away... What about being able to see a geographic structure 300 yards away demonstrates why tents in the marketplace can't be seen when you're touching them?  Surely the walls, buildings, and roads of the city would cut the winds down from those in the open desert, and even there, IRL, I have found visibility to be much more than I had expected.  In the same vein, I recommend checking out the Desert segment of the BBC's Plant Earth series to see some good examples of how visible things are in a sandstorm... And a whole lot of other neat shit. ;)

Also, most of these are on the submissions site, but I think there are a few bonus images as well:

Invoking the powers of Suk-Krath. That means seek shelter immediately.

A very pompous looking merchant.

A silent killer lurking in the shadows.

Watch out behind you--!

A rinthi elf stumbles through the sewers of Allanak.

A first class bounty hunter. Fearless. Persistent.

You see fellows of this type too often in the Gaj.

A band of desert elves keep sentry over their encampment.

You catch a glimpse of this mysterious wanderer in the stormy wastes.

A desert raid in the Vrun Driath could mean your death.

A young man offers his wares in the Bazaar.

A huntress scans the horizon.

Or if she's hunting humans and she wants them to stand there, slack-jawed, as she shoots them in the face.

Because I would.

Here's a site for Native American crafts and artwork.
Some of it is very Zalanthan.

http://www.crystalbuffalo.com/


A 14.5" collectors knife handmade with a 10" elk bone handle, attached to a 4.5" serrated black obsidian blade. Elk sinew is passed through a drilled hole in the handle, and tied. This knife comes with a black glass display case.
(http://www.crystalbuffalo.com/collectors/blackwolf-obsidian-and-elk-bone-knife.jpg)


The extremely sharp blade is made from black obsidian and is close to 13"long with serrated edges. Over 1.5" of the blade is attached to the handle to keep it in place.
The 8" handle is made with sequoia cactus, with an additional 6" elk sinew tie on the end. The two pieces are held together in the traditional way using elk sinew and pitch. This is an eye-catching piece. An awesome 27" from end to end including the elk tie.
(http://www.crystalbuffalo.com/collectors/blackwolf-serrated-obsidian-knife-with-cactus-handle.jpg)


A 7" knife. The blade is a translucent chocolate flint piece and has serrated edges all around. The handle is made from a bone which has been dyed dark brown.
(http://www.crystalbuffalo.com/collectors/blackwolf-small-translucent-flint-knife.jpg)


This has got to be the one everybody will talk about! The clear glass blade is an awesome 15" long with 1.5" used as part of the handle.

In the center of the knife there is 2" of 'pitch' and elk sinew to hold them together. The handle is 6" and is made with pinon pine wood. At the very end of the knife there is 23" of horsehair, sinew, and two feathers. It was too long to get everything into the picture. An absolutely awesome looking knife made by one of the best artists around, Black Wolf.

Ok, so this seems like it would be a Half Giant.. though when doing calculations the HG would be twice the size of the woman in the picture. She stands seven foot.. an elf is up to what seven five. Geez... And people act as if its nothing to see these humanoids.
If I where human I would think twice at picking a fight with an elf or HG. Twice the size... Geez. I crane my neck in game already to talk to a sitting HG, I guess I need to stand a room back and shout when talking to one standing.

Bidding starts and twenty three thousand of His coins.

Gonna see if I can make this work. Here are a few portraits that I did a few years back for some players, different PC's. A few are my own Characters too. Be fun if anyone knew who some of them were. I don't have much time for this kinda stuff anymore, and I marker render living rooms now.

Sergio Toppi, check out his work. Google is your friend. Some of his works carry a Zalanthan feeling, at least to me.

I'm gonna hype Yoshitaka Amano. the artist who did much of the origional concept art for the final fantasy series. (before the suck)

He's got a neat, subversive aesthetic which I think works well for those soulless magickers, templars etc.

(http://www.imgdump.info/data/media/3825/imgDump%20Yoshitaka%20Amano%20Misc%20Art%20By%20A09%20284.jpg)

There is only one calling which warriors follow: to fight, and perhaps to die fighting. Although motivated by innumerable goals, there are a few commonalities among warriors. In nearly all warriors there exists some notion of honour and fairness, and often a vague conception of glory.

Sandstorm

QuoteResidents of Sydney, Australia awoke today Sept. 23 to orange skies filled with dust. This image pair from  jujuly25 at flickr also shows a clear-sky view from the same angle on a Sydney balcony a day ago. What a dusty difference a day makes.

The  BBC reported that the dust storm is the result of years of drought in eastern parts of Australia.  National Geographic published an in-depth story and  pictures in April on the region's Murray-Darling basin and the long term drying from climate change in parts of Australia. These changes are increasingly seen as part of a larger pattern of  shifts in rainfall in several regions.

First thing that came to mind when I saw this...

Gortok: A common type of canine in the northlands, the gortok are well-known as wild predatory scavengers with a strong pack mentality. They are not known for particular intelligence or cleanliness, but are quite hardy, capable of loping great distances after their slowly tiring prey before moving in with their vise-like jaws. Their hides often become an all but useless mass of scar tissue due to the constant fighting amongst themselves or the wounds recieved during a hunt.

False. As the current Tan Muark Storyteller, I do not appreciate such lies and slandering. Gypsies do not eat their own ugly babies; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeling for more information. This is the real reason that gyspy PCs are markedly more attractive than those unfortunate city-dwellers.

How come no one ever gets the dwarves correct? They're all using the cheap trick of making those legs absurdly short in order to cut at the dwarf's height, while drawing them normally proportioned above the waist. The first pic is relatively fine, but the second? Where are his knees? And everyone does that, no matter the kind of dwarf they're doing.

I never played Dark Sun, so at times, I find it hard to visualize some things.  I just want to say, this thread is amazing, and thanks to everyone who contributed!  So that's what an argosy looks like!

I would've never guessed by reading the docs that a Mekillot looks like a triceratops.  Mantis are thri-kreen from D&D, it appears.  Really, really neat stuff in here.  It will really bring the text alive.

Kudos!

Thri-kreen were one of the primary native races in the Dark Sun setting. I always figured that their presence in other settings was more alien.

^^^ big pdf...patience.


I never knew where they were from (never even owned any Dark Sun expansions) but I used thri-kreen in some sessions as a DM.  Mostly because, well ...  they're badass.

The bird people in the outlands? No they are a reference to the Dark Crystal.

There is actually a quest line that is a reference to the movie too.. So eh..

That entire game is a reference to something or another.

Yes, this is correct. The name, Arakkoa is a reference to the D&D creature, but the other references do point to the Skeksis from the Dark Crystal.

I figured the name pointed if it was that close. Though I was never big into dark sun.
Though as I said.. WoW is one huge reference.

Such as link, zelda, link's boomarang, etc..

You must be confusing the carru with the chalton?

Quote
Carru : Territorial by nature and dangerous by virtue of their size (tall as a war beetle at the shoulder, but much slimmer) and spearlike antlers, an adult carru can pose a significant threat to the unwary. Normally herbivores of the drier parts of the north, their relative commoness there has made their hide, as well as their antlers, a commonly used material.

Quote from: shalooonsh from Details of the Ghaati"The Khaadi are known for an almost dwarven drive once they determine a goal that they need to attain, and have a reputation of being some of the most ferocious of the race."


A Ghaati hunter strikes when night falls - Hidden from the Sun's ferocious glare.


The Ghaati Warchief of the Khaadi prepares his tribe for War.


A Ghaati Warparty advances against enemy foes.


Though rare, a trader that goes amongst the furless, educated in their ways, to acquire from the furless what the tribe cannot acquire for itself.

I firmly believe that the Ghaati have the ability to, both, be beautiful - and ferocious.

Meh. I think I was pretty spot on, with all four. Different roles in the tribe require different tactics. Just because the "cute" one appears disarming and weak - Cross her in a deal and the three above her will be skull fucking you before dawn (because they are said to be as nocturnal as possible).

Climate is different than Zalanthas, but I dunno...here's a couple other ones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonneville_Salt_Flats  -- definitely in a desert-like area, seems Zalanthan enough
http://www.nps.gov/deva/naturescience/salt-flats.htm  -- definitely in a desert-like area, probably more Zalanthan

I grew up playing in the Bonneville flats as a kid and visiting them often. Utah is Zalanthas.

I think Zalanthan-ness is subjective. But, you've been here longer and so are probably expert enough in what is Zalanthany and what is not to make that judgment call. So, I'm willing to concede that I may not have posted something Zalanthany enough, but I don't appreciate being accused of not crediting the artist when I did.

Anyway, pictures.

When staff members post a warning about not doing this or that after moderating things, they aren't doing so in order for you to argue on the GDB in response that your position is correct if you look at it the way you look at it.  You can appeal via the request tool if you have a gripe or (if you'd like!) ask for clarification there and I'll be happy to explain why your post was moderated.

Movies.

"Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity." Inspiration for anyone wanting to play an escaped slave with big knockers.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKMPpkjIxsE (trailer)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBGGnQbEJ0U (full movie, on youtube)


Also, "Outlaw of of Gor," but with Mystery Science Theater 3000 over it, if you're into the gay thing. There's no full movie link for this one without MST3K guys but I found it funny and very dark-sun inspired. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os-gE6rgmKI

I'm a huge fan of Mathieu Lauffray (ever sense I read his graphic novel, The Oath of Amber.. really arm-y and cool and adaptable). Was looking through the novel again w. an animator (trying to CON-vince him into doing a feature version of it...) and I realized how much some of his work reminded me of arm in general.

If you like his work, click here to his own page (http://www.lauffray.com/).

I was digging through movies and found that Once Upon a Time in the West is currently online streaming on netflix, if you have a subscription.

I highly recommend watching this one. Lots of inspiration for red storm/ Luir's roleplay, plus lots more for aspiring raiders. It runs a little long but trust me, the first 15 or so minutes will pull you in even if you aren't a raving Western movie fan (which I am not).

That was a parody on famous Frazetta's illustration of Conan. I laughed when I saw it and thought it would fit into the world of Z. Here's the original (also fitting):

He is all that is man.

I have a shirt that I wear to the gym regularly to train that says the following; "To crush your enemies. To see them driven before you. To hear the lamentation of their women."

Every little boy wanted to be Conan growing up. I never stopped.

Only sans the crazy-eyed guy and add in a lighter blue color as well. The closest tribal tattooing I've seen IRL would be maori (closest to how I picture it, at least).

That's how I picture them. Like a black bobcat. Tiny and cute, but still a little scarier looking, and black. It might also be because I grew up in Florida and that's a black bobcat, native to Florida, so I grew up occasionally seeing them on the way home sometimes.

That's how I picture rantarri. I know it's missing some features, but you can see the rosettes, only I would think the places where the beige is in the picture would be closer to grey.

The last one in particular seems to hold a certain Zalanthan aesthetic to the ragged and piecemeal armor.

When an Immortal says something like this with so much enthusiasm I'm split.

My first idea is that I think I'm going to.. you know.. maybe Tuluk is really interesting this time of year. Yeah...

On the other hand I am interested to see what Rathustra's version of "Shark Week" would be like. I'm starting to get mental images of Jaws set in Red Storm village. At least it wasn't Halaster that I inspired... or is Rathustra the new Halaster?

Not quite Zalanthas, but some of the images in this collection from Project Dune (re-imagining Frank Herbert's classic) are very similar to what I always pictured areas of the game looked like.

You want more apartments? I could totally see this happening in the game world. A band of rogue gickers with exiled tuluki joining together with those poor banished or genocided tribals. The artisans slowly chips out a series of living dwellings (like Andy Dufresne, in The Shawshank Redemption), they breed (cause what else is there to do in the wilds but twink skills and have sexy time) and soon, twenty years goes by and you have a whole rogue city.

They can in DarkSun ( http://www.lomion.de/cmm/jozhal.php ), but I don't believe so in Arm.
I assume that little code quirk where almost all mobs use to auto pickup/wield anything wieldable they ran across was fixxed a while back. I haven't seen any scimitar-wielding scrabs/goudra/skeet/carru in a few years. :D

I've always pictured them as mini raptors but with iridescent skin. I think the skin is Armageddon only.
There use to be a good image of them stealing eggs on the web, but I can't find it now.

I guess I've just been lucky. When I was a newb and obsidian hacking was the thing, I think I ran into more armed scrabs than not.
I guess they were taking all the weapons from the noobs they were munching on, or else some player was running around with a bag of blades and dropping them for shits and giggles. :D

You guys are really creative with finding these pictures.  Sometimes I think, that's just how I pictured that thing/place/people, and sometimes it's entirely different.  But I always enjoy this thread.

Jozhals wield stuff.  They often have rocks, I've seen one with an arrow.  I think in darksun jozhals are also vivaduans.  They don't at least to my knowledge seem to be Vivaduans in zalanthas.

I also though they were more like geckos. Like...flat to the ground. Maybe the sdesc needs an adjustment, I dunno. Obv. I never get to look at the mdesc because they are the most hardcore dangerous critters in game...which never made sense before (when I was all like, how are they leaping into the air to scratch out my eyes like that?! arghghhhhh) but now it does because they are fricking DINOSAURS.

I still can't get over this. Mind. Blown.

Yeah I pictured something similar when I think of the booths, although my imagination was seeing something plainer - more along the lines of:

(http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/4200/barbooth1.jpg)

Simplicity, very little lighting or bright colors, and it almost looks like this is over looking a sand-colored-ish city...that is somehow magickally lit up... :o (Sorry for the small pic coudn't find bigger)




On an unrelated note here are some more random pictures the make me think Zalanthas:

So back on topic I.E More Jozhals...



I think jozhals lack empathy because they just sit there and casually watch as a living cactus kills their pal with a spiky tackle and tiny little spiky punches. I would say they are too dumb to understand what is going on but they are way smarter thanwe give them credit for. For one they can and do use tools.
Quote(http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/2339/jozhals1.gif)

Not sure if this is or isn't actually a jozhal. Halfsilt? Is that like a half-breed but something mixed with a jozhal?
Quote(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/1328/jozhals2.gif)

So if half-breed jozhals exists then this is one type of them. This is not a Jozhal it's a Pterran. I know. But when I saw it I thought: If dwarf + human = Mul - then dwarf + johzal = pterran.
PTERRAN: The Jozhal equivalent to a Mul - He's buff, he's tough, but he doesn't look mad enough.  :-[

Quote(http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/7894/pterran.gif)

But in the end Jozhals are no different from you or I. See? They kill people and steal their boots too!

Does Cenyr has monopoly on glass products? Serious question. The glass looks like ordinary fucking glass beads
Title: Re: Visualizing Zalanthas..
Post by: FantasyWriter on June 02, 2013, 01:52:02 PM
No.  The helpfile states: "The village is primarily noted for the quality and artistry of the glassware it produces."
That insinuates that their glass is "better" than that of everyone else, IMO.  This would, in turn, lead one to believe that there is more out there for them to put to shame. :D

That's as far as I can go without offering IC information.  But it is certainly something that you can learn more about IG.

Edited to add: I said Cenyr earlier because it may or may not remind me of a certain IG item from there. ;)

There are a number of cultures in Africa that don't fear the big scary hyena the way we (and most other people in the world) do.

There are 'hyena men' in Africa who use spotted hyenas in street shows to make money.  You know, like Siegfried and Roy and their tigers, except without the Vegas strip as a backdrop and without all the glitz and glamor.

There is a place in...Ethiopia (?) where the hyena is 'worshipped' because it is believed that they ward off evil spirits.  The walls of the city have accessible entryways so the hyenas can come and go as they please and when they are encountered in the streets it isn't a terrible thing.  

I read a blog post about it a few months ago.  I think the blog belonged to a photographer that focuses on exposing/showcasing the differences in African culture and that sort of thing.

I don't understand how this is true. You don't seem to understand the definition of the word you used. I would say 'Nak is that. Can't say much more because it would fall into the realm of ICly info which is absolutely not a thing to do here.

Well, like in Song of Ice and Fire the Starks are always getting fucked over. But we all know in the end GRRM is finally going to grow a heart and have Jon Snow and Arya win everything.

Jon + Daenerys matchup to Rule All, with Arya as their pet assassin.

I like that from what I read about them in passing a while back, they were a matriarchal as opposed to patriarchal society. A lot of the south american tribes and peoples like the Inca and Maya or the Olmec have similar Zalanthan flavoring.

Erdlu are highly underrrated. Despite their lack of uninterrupted long-distance travel. Their speed is fantastic. And since so few people use them, it's usually pretty easy to keep your mount straight without having to title it, even when out in a group.

They are probably like Killer Bees in terms of killing people. It only happens because so many swarm at you at one time it causes a massive histamine response that kills you.

I saw a National Geographic thing (or something similar) about those hornets.  If I recall correctly that's not really how they attack, swarming in massive amounts like Africanized honey bees, I mean.
Title: Re: Visualizing Zalanthas..
Post by: slvrmoontiger on October 01, 2013, 11:43:34 AM
Right I read up a bit more on these because I'm fascinated by wildlife in general. They only seem to swarm if something invades their hive or if they are invading a honeybee hive. What the deal is with hornets though if I remember correctly, unlike honeybees, any member of the wasp family which hornets are part of can sting multiple times its not like the honeybees where when they sting the stinger pulls out and kills them in the process. Their stinger stays in tact and they are able to sting multiple times. What I read is that because of their size the poison injected is of a higher dosage than most other wasps or honeybees. Also from what I read is people that are allergic to honeybees and wasps could die from one sting. Suggestions for people that are not allergic is if you are stung more than ten times to seek medical attention and if you are stung more than thirty times to get to a hospital or emergency medical facility. Always a good idea to take a benedryl or some other anti-histamine when stung by any bee or wasp as its USUALLY the histamine reaction that will kill you.

A snorkel? WELCOME TO ARMAGEDDON

No it wasn't a snorkel it was indeed a scuba outfit. Didn't you notice the oxygen tank he/she was lugging around on his back?

Where is that sea?

I'm not sure. But it's actually layers of ash from a volcanic eruption atop the ocean/sea waves. It floats for quite some time atop water.

A snorkel is a standard piece of scuba equipment, and it was what said person was adjusting just before s/he went under the surface.

I've thought that as well, however in both cases they are neither near the adults to be -hatchlings- nor do the adults seem to be on any migratory breeding script to indicate that they lay their eggs or birth their young in those other locations. And in fact one of those beasts resided in another place as well and is even further from their -parental source- if that were the case. However they could certainly be the off shoots of the genius perhaps.

When a magicker interupts your mudsex?

There's a ton more over at http://vallejo.ural.net/ -- I'd post some more but many of them have rather nude females in them. And I don't wanna make this thread NSFW. I'd rather imagine all of Zalanthalas like this, and seems a lot of Dark Sun material is drawn in that loincloth style as well. I think the whole "heavy armor/abas/cloaks" culture IG comes from player's need for loots. But that's for another thread. Enjoy some Vallejo!

I dunno about the lack of clothes, and I'm one player that NEVER puts on a ton of items, and regularly takes off their armor if applicable.

In truth, if you Google image search gypsies, the images without belly dancers or obese white guys with huge bellies are how I imagine people dress.

I've lived near gypsies, know a few - met a bunch. They're very ecclectic, fashionable, and often dress as if inspired by Kramer from Seinfield and any fashionable french person you ever saw in the past fifty years. It's some sort of super thrift shop meets dirty tribal thing, with a lot of headwear.

Post by: boog on February 17, 2014, 05:05:29 PM
You're lucky you live near neat gypsies. Ours just live in trailers and have big fat gypsy weddings. ;)

But - anyway. I just meant I see people in a desert, with whipping wind that scalds and scours more likely to wear clothes!

Though, I'm tempted to make a Zalanthan woman akin to the lady in the episode Major Boobage of South Park. ;)

Actually, that version was photoshopped, in 2004, for a federal exhibit. It does use the same negatives to produce the color that the original version did, however.

Here is he original.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Rgb-compose-Alim_Khan.jpg/800px-Rgb-compose-Alim_Khan.jpg)

The reason this probably wasn't done more is that it would have been incredibly difficult, required special equipment with moving parts to take the photo, and special equipment for them to even view it.

Photographs back then took longer than they do now. And getting three without the subject moving would be an exercise in aggravation.  According to that article, most of them do show signs of movement, but they were digitally removed for the exhibit (as above).

Long ago, servants of the Dragon - a powerful sorcerous entity - roamed the earth, crushing all opposition.

(http://01varvara.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/andrei-ryabushkin-at-the-dragons-cave-1880s-e1268603539400.jpg)

Then the dragon mysteriously vanished - some unknown task complete or perhaps interrupted.

628 (Year 12 Age 9)
600 have passed and civilization is arising anew.  However, during a war between the city-states of Allanak and Tuluk at Wyntek Harzen, a black fortress is discovered in the sands. It is believed to be the home of Luir Dragonsthrall, last living servant of the Dragon.

(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/287/2/a/2ad18cc1c6433ed840391c986e66e765-d4cs1hk.jpg)

(A fun project would be to make a video out of these with some appropriate music, kind of like the introduction of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AxVTvrD3HY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AxVTvrD3HY)).

(Warning: some poetic license in this post)

Over 100 years pass.  Luir's activities during this period of time are unknown. He is apparently without the Dragon to guide and empower him.  An elusive figure, his whereabouts during this period are lost to history. Historians speculate he merely wandered these many years - a dangerous, faceless outcast that few encountered (or lived to tell about).
(http://www.quartertothree.com/fp/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Duel_04_01.jpg)

120 years after his fortress was first uncovered, the whereabouts of this dangerous wanderer were somehow made known to the powerful ruler Tektolnes.  Perhaps a
High Templar or Tektolnes himself was able to sense his whereabouts during a rare but careless lapse in shielding his mind from detection.

This spelled Luir's demise: circa 744, (Year 51 Age 10), Tektolnes confronted Luir Dragonsthrall deep in the obsidian mines of Allanak.  This might suggest Luir was more powerful than any of Tektolnes' High Templars, and that only Tektolnes himself could challenge the dread servant.
(http://i.imgur.com/fNH5S1a.jpg)

But, Luir was outmatched. By use of incredible magicks, Tektolnes buries Luir under ninety-nine cords of rock, cementing his position as one of the most powerful entities in the Known.

~8th age: Due to the horrific fates suffered by those unfortunate enough to stumble in his way, the sorcerer Valasurus gained legendary status as a terrible force to be reckoned with.

(http://hdw.datawallpaper.com/abstract/sorcerer-297059.jpg)

The "vile sorcerer" as he became known had aspirations to conquer and to rule, and realized the value of city-states as a way to concentrate and multiply his power.  But, he was wise enough to know know he was outmatched by significantly more powerful entities, notably Tektolnes himself.  So he lay in wait.

(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs7/i/2005/160/4/f/a_cave_on_a_desert_planet_by_hoevelkamp.jpg)

By the 34th year of the 9th age (c.650), Tektolnes was heavily distracted and faced numerous impending threats.  First, by the uprising of a warrior from the north - now powerful leader - named Muk Utep - known to lead a seemingly unstoppable conquering force in the north. Moreover, at least one servant of the Dragon was rumored to still abide in the Known: Luir Dragonsthrall had to be dealt with.

Perhaps the vile sorceror Valasurus perceived Tektolnes' distraction, and this is when he seized his opportunity.  He emerged from hiding and, in a quest to machine his own center of power over the Known, raised the city-state of Steinal in the far east.

(http://s4.goodfon.su/wallpaper/previews-middle/31137.jpg)

Steinal became a rival of Allanak in the Known World's Southlands, growing to occupy the land east and south of the Salt Flats (q.v.). Its heights of decadence rivaled Allanak's, and its wealth was prodigious. The nobility of the city lived in such opulence as to border on that of royalty.  The city prospered for many hundreds of years.

Despite the growing threat of Steinal to Allanak, Tektolnes' focus was largely to the north, where the Dragon itself appeared to make what can only be described as an "obscure exchange" with Muk Utep.

(http://nerdreactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Elder-Scrolls-5-Skyrim-Trailer-Screenshot-Dragon-Wings.jpg)

That's another story, but this exchange left a great part of Tuluk destroyed.  When this happened, it appears that Tektolnes was able to shift his focus east, to the growing threat of Steinal.

By 1055 (Year 54 Age 14), war between the two city-states was in full effect, their armies clashing just west of the Great Salt Flats.  Steinal's military prowess was leading to important losses for Allanak, and to some it seemed as though Valasarus' army might prevail.

(http://www.kenkellyfantasyart.com/i/DesertBattle.jpg)

His full focus on the east now, though, Tektolnes was able to summon an awful magick, and a sandstorm of unheard-of magnitude rose out of the sands.

(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/8797/sandstorm2.jpg)

As it grew in intensity, this storm smashed the city of Steinal, burying it, its citizens, and Valasurus in the desert forever (Tektolnes, in the process, gaining a fearsome reputation for burying anyone who dares to challenge him).

(http://theunplayables.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/End-of-the-Desert.jpg)

The tales of the riches of Steinal persist, as travelers claim to have found an entrance to this or that buried estate on the far side of the Salt Flats, but none of these have ever been authenticated.

(Warning: major speculation in this post, which is just for fun)

1389 (Year 3 Age 19): It has been almost 500 years since the last appearance of the Dragon, and even longer than that since any of his dread servants roamed the Known.  To most, the Dragon and his poisonous, defiling magick are like the dim memory of a nightmare.

(http://i.imgur.com/CBmJu4g.jpg)

Suddenly, the first "true" Defiler in over 1500 years is found and somehow killed outside of Tuluk.  The details of how this defiler was slain are lost to time.  However,  it is known that ancient texts miraculously resurfaced as a result of this, which detailed much of defiler magick: it is very real, very powerful, and has immeasurable depth.  The consequences of such a discovery are clearly profound; but where this library of texts ended up, and who or what consumed their knowledge, are unknown.

(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/30/article-1371290-0B63EC4900000578-127_634x379.jpg)

What is known is that Tektolnes' activities are completely unrecorded during the ensuing five years.  In fact, he remained silent and inaccessible even as his city was put under a grueling siege for a year, circa 1394.  However, at the end of these five years, Tektolnes reappeared in the guise of a dragon and breathed death upon his city's sieging army - the army simply ceased to exist.

(http://www.unesourisetmoi.info/wallpaper_41/images/dragon-battle.jpg)

50 years later (1441 - Year 55 Age 19), a fire of questionable origin starts in the scrub plains south of Tuluk and almost destroys the city.  A mere 9 years after this (1450), a terrifying and presumably magickal cataclysm strikes the city-state of Tuluk, leaving it to be nothing more than a pile of rubble and ruins.  Over seventy thousand people were killed that day in what has since come to be known as the Fall of Tuluk.

(http://thefinalempire.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/15.jpg)

This cataclysmic event does not destroy Tuluk, but puts the northern forces on the back foot.  Allanak is also likely still suffering from the economic effects of its own besiegement, though it is fifty years past now.  Neither city-state has a clear advantage.

And so commences decades of overt battle - skirmishes, terrorism, and guerilla warfare - between the two city-states, with terrible losses on both sides.  

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I44RzCI14Ks/UW1LLxoVK4I/AAAAAAAAFLE/ZYuIfjaPT7U/s640/Battleagainstarrius.png)

By 1476 (Year 13 Age 20), Allanaki troops, in a series of bloody battles, conquers all of Gol Krathu. The lone surviving Allanaki templar, Elaira Fale of the Blue, is credited with the victory.  However, the invaders are unable to finish the job, as Muk Utep holes up in his pyramid and an indefinite siege begins.

(http://hd.wallpaperswide.com/thumbs/pyramid-t2.jpg)
Title: Re: Visualizing Zalanthas..
Post by: CodeMaster on March 23, 2014, 06:14:48 PM
Forty years of Allanaki occupation have elapsed, and Muk Utep has not left his besieged pyramid.  Allanak's forces are either unwilling or unable to penetrate his fortress.  No enemy of Tektolnes' has ever been so difficult to vanquish.  It is now 1516 (Year 53 Age 20).

After much preparation, the northern powers muster enough force to launch a counterattack against their conquerers.  The multifaceted resistance army is comprised of the Sun Legions of Tuluk, a number of rebel resistance fighters, various human tribes of unknown origins, and hordes of hideously mutated and deformed creatures.  The motivations of each group may be up for debate, and are not commonly known, but they formed a devastatingly effective and agile fighting alliance.

(http://imgur.com/8SbK1IN.jpg)

They successfully penetrate the Scaien Walls and liberate the land inside and, with no loss of momentum, marched for Luirs, liberating the outpost from Allanaki occupation as well.   When the surge was over, high templars (Sathis, Valika, Ihsahn) and precentors (Kul, Israr) lay slain on both sides.  Thus the twentieth age ended in significant and continuing defeat for Allanak's overextended forces - Tektolnes' greatest losses ever recorded.

(http://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/1318960-bigthumbnail.jpg)

These defeats were further punctuated by a terrorist attack on the Tor Academy inside the very city of Allanak... and the slaughtering of several more Allanaki forces by a Tuluki force led by the Jihaen templar Gavale Uaptal.

During the the Allanak/Tuluk conflict of the 20th Age, an ambitious sorceror of great potential was wandering the edges of the Known, studying and learning from dark, pilfered texts.  Accounts of his activities are scarce, but children's tales often include some detail about him finding sanctuary in the eyes of the worst Zalanthas storms, wherein none could approach him.
(http://playsorcerer.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/monk.jpg)

It is conjectured that at some point this "Lord of Storms" became deeply interested in the mantis clutches.  He may have learned their language and culture.  He may have grown to admire their physical prowess, their incredible agility on the hunt, and their military potential.  And he may also have seen into their sleepless and deeply alien minds, perhaps perceiving some exploitable psychic flaw in their pack-driven mentality.  But, he lacked the power to turn the key.

Sometime around the start of the 21st Age, the Lord of Storms' wandering led to a chance encounter with a being from east of the Tuluki plains.  The consensus seems to be that this "dark creature" was a entity of great power, its origins possibly even lying somewhere outside the Known.

(http://horrornews.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Giant-mist-creature.jpg)

It is widely assumed that a pact was made between the two, very likely empowering the Lord of Storms beyond his own potential - but little else is known of the meeting.  Nevertheless, the only recorded precedent for such an arrangement is the rumored exchange between the ancient rulers of the Known and the Dragon himself (which, as we know, led to armageddon).

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/57/Apocalypse-Albert_Goodwin.jpg)

Following this exchange, the Lord of Storms exacted an incredible influence over a massive swarm of mantis.  He led them to Luir's Outpost.

(http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2013/081/f/0/desert_outpost_by_narandel-d5yvc1o.jpg)

The violent and total conquest is thought to have been uncharacteristic of these ecologically minded creatures, and little is known about the ensuing occupation.  Legend has it that the storms around Luir's had a poisonous quality during this time.

After some seven year gestation period, Luir's burst forth with an incredible army comprised of the mantis (some perhaps appearing sickly and altered) as well as some of the most hellish creatures ever to have roamed the Known.  This army swarmed towards towards Tuluk, which was hard pressed to bring the mantis advance to a halt.  The invaders easily broke through the marshaled defenses to make their way to the heart of the city.  The loss of life was tremendous.

(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/066/b/6/the_mist_001_by_skullbeast.jpg)

Some suggest Muk Utep had somehow foreseen this unlikely attack, and had somehow been prepared for it: just when loss seemed certain, an enormous eruption of psychic energies poured out from the center of the city and sent ripples throughout the Known World.  Apparently traumatized by the unleashed energies, the invading forces became disoriented and confused, turning on each other and allowing the city defenders to push them back.  Hoping to capitalize on the victory, the Kuraci forces and their allies launched a quick assault on the Outpost and force what little remained of the mantis invaders to retreat.

It is not known what happened to the Lord of Storms, but some say he was ravaged by the psychic attack, which he felt ten-thousand fold through the mind of every creature he controlled.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TRju1TnYfxU/TMmDVQC5EiI/AAAAAAAAAVA/QpZftWfiHlg/s1600/dead+marshes.JPG)

Some say this was fatal, while others say he continues to wander the Known, a damaged shadow of his former self.

Post by: CodeMaster on April 04, 2014, 03:41:10 PM

A warparty led by Allanaki blue-robe templars, including soldiers of
House Tor and gemmed from House Oash, makes a foray into the
Tablelands, striking for an oasis.  What they mave have found there is
not commonly known, but some claim this warparty must have found or
inadvertently set off some kind of magickal trigger, disturbing an
ancient dormant energy.

(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/337/0/a/sand_and_ruins_by_blinck-d4i1ama.jpg)

The warparty does not stay long before turning back for Allanak, but
within hours of the warparty's return, the earth begins to rumble.
The quake is felt throughout the entire Known.  Large swaths of the
North Road between Allanak and Luir's crumble off the Shield Wall; the
cliffs which border the North Road between Luir's and Tuluk collapse
and cover it.

(http://samlib.ru/img/m/momotjuk_w_a/abbis/mudflats.jpg)

Amid the chaos generated by the quakes, fantastical accounts of
magickal creatures of stone somehow passing the gates and pressing
into the streets of Luir's and Allanak are given -- these creatures
destroy and overtake portions of the settlements, but are
painstakingly beaten back.

(http://imgur.com/hqjG7iI.jpg)

There is a year of uneasy peace as scribes and sages try to determine
what exactly happened.  There is much hope that the worst has passed.
But, a mere year later, a massive aftershock rips across the Known,
once again felt everywhere and by everyone.  But this time is
different: a large shape crosses the sky and seems to settle over
Suk-Krath, bringing complete darkness to the world. In the darkness,
moisture falls from the air, and for a brief time, rain comes to the
Known.

(http://www.nightskyinfo.com/sky_highlights/annular_eclipse_may20/annular_eclipse.jpg)

The rain is no miracle; repeated waves of murky water crash in from
west of the Scaien Gates in Tuluk, leaving thousands dead amid the
flooding; looting and crime runs rampant.

(http://2012start.comeze.com/images/flood01.jpg)

In and around Luir's, creatures of stone cause death and destruction
while fierce, tearing winds kick up.  A volcano rises southwest of
Allanak, obliterating critical farming villages and nearby
encampments.  Fire elementals move into the streets, scorching
everything in their path; there are scattered rumors of some of
Allanak's gemmed trying to stop the onslaught, but they are attacked
and lynched by rioters, while the nobility remain huddled in relative
safety -- some say powerlessly.

(http://imgur.com/mUwNjvV.jpg)

At the end of the full week of darkness, the shadow lifts from
Suk-Krath to take its own place in the sky as a black moon which
reflects very little light.  It is the subject of much study and
speculation and viewed as an omen of bad luck the world over.

I really like that one, Wanderer.

Thank you. I worked very hard on it.

What funny is I actually did enjoy this. Even if you think it's just some funny thing, I actually took the time to notice the details... both of them.. :D

I was serious. :(

The Labyrinth (or 'rinth) is the common slang term used to refer to the northernmost quarter of the city of Allanak, due to its maze of alleyways that thread about the ramshackle buildings within it.

(http://leker.typepad.com/medievaliste/_levant_full_size_990364.jpg)

Once it was merely the quarter for the lower classes of Allanak. Before that, it may have even been an area of some affluence, but this past is only barely hinted at by some of the crumbling structures within.

(http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6124/5947645750_77ef55403c_o.jpg)

Over the last several hundred years, as the rich became progressively richer and the poor became poorer, the quarter has completely degenerated into a decayed and disease ridden slum.

(http://www.backtoclassics.com/images/pics/franciscogoya/franciscogoya_mournful_foreboding_of_what_is_to_come.jpg)

In recent days, the 'rinth has become more than just the home to the desperate, the unwanted, or racially undesirable. Generations of its inhabitants have been born, lived and died in Tektolnes' chamber-pot of human life.

(http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/03/cd/d0/0e/yantai-color-stone-corridor.jpg)

Now, not only do the general citizenry of Allanak avoid this dark ghetto -- especially those well-to-do -- but the militia of the city dare not enter as well.

(http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/11/Thief-4-storyboard-art-610x240.jpg)

The Labyrinth has formed its own culture of sorts, apart from the rest of the city. Racial or purely random violence is a common occurrence. Street gangs roam wild in the winding alleyways, looking for the lone and unsuspecting.

Packs of children have been known to kill the unwary for nothing more than the hopes of a scrap of food; most are destined to live out their short lives in poverty, wandering the streets aimlessly, scavenging, and begging, until their luck runs out.

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ULFtBRgCmzs/TxzOE8iIccI/AAAAAAAAASE/HUBEIKEqLFc/s1600/Pelez1Blog.jpg)

Darker, more unsavory organizations have also embraced the chaos and turmoil of the rinth and made it their home.

(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/280/8/4/assassin__s_strike_mtg_by_chase_sc2-d5h4n9g.jpg)

Geographically and demographically the 'rinth is made up of two distinct areas - the Westside and the Eastside. The Westside's population is, for the most part, made up of humans while the Eastside's is mainly elves. This has led to a futher sub-division of 'rinth culture as the two main population groups generally keep to themselves and view each other with mistrust and suspicion, despite the fact that the general social structure and day-to-day life for most occupants of the 'rinth is the same.

(http://stonetelling.com/issue4-jun2011/labyrinth.jpg)

Since certain sectors of the Allanaki economy have gone underground, the 'rinth is where many of the city's small to medium-sized "business contracts" are negotiated, although detailed knowledge of this might not be well known to the average inhabitant. What is evident, however, is that money does trickle into the alleys and at least some of the residents can afford an ale or two occasionally in a local alley
tavern.

Red Storm Village lies just north of the Sea of Eternal Dust (q.v.). It is a haven for desert travelers and wayward merchants who pass that far south.

(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/223/6/e/escape_the_sandstorm_wip_by_mistermikea-d5aqn86.jpg)

A simple town, ruled by a mysterious figure called the Sand Lord, Red Storm Village offers some measure of security in the knowledge that criminals rarely have the nerve to stay long, as life is a little too hard for thieves and killers.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--fEG5yxPeSk/T4y9zyUcu9I/AAAAAAAABE0/XKwswX8pMSk/s1600/45.jpg)

Many folk have made their homes in Red Storm, for the simple reason that it is far enough from Allanak to avoid the long reach of Tektolnes's law, yet near enough to support an easy trade with the city-state, including grain and spice.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XVIoDfmSWyk/UQJqPiWNfPI/AAAAAAAAR08/VCnRuCnhFV8/s640/digital-art-by-powl96-(16).jpg)

The latter is a narcotic harvested on the shores of the Sea of Silt, and it is the main trade of House Kurac.  (While spice illegal in the city of Allanak, and carries heavy penalties if one is discovered carrying or using it, there is naturally an underground market.)

(http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs37/i/2008/260/5/7/desert_sandstorm_by_mrConceptual.jpg)

In the 25th year of the 20th King's Age, while the rest of the world's attention was on Allanak's successful assault on the northlands (including Luir's outpost, in which Kurac conducts much of its spice trade), Red Storm was quietly devastated by a tremendous wave of silt.

(http://www.ourstory.info/library/4-ww2/Saber/images/sb068.jpg)

The ancient stone walls stood firm, but everything within the village had to be gradually rebuilt by the Sand Lord and his people -- with help from various "interested" groups.

(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs42/f/2009/148/e/9/Through_the_Sandstorm_by_KZ_KW.jpg)

Most of the main buildings were reconstructed from massive blocks of stone.  These massive blocks are rumored to have been supplied by giants from the Sea of Eternal Dust by way of some obscure agreement with the Sand Lord.  In a further effort to ward off future disaster, massive canvas tarpaulins were hoisted to better shield the village from the fiercest weather of the region.

The spice trade resumed...

From RAT:- On bandoliers.

Historically speaking, Bandoliers are used for small loads of ammunition, shotgun shells, single load rifles, etc..  so Slings would make sense.

(http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/sixth-scale-action-figure-news-reviews-discussion/725091-some-vietnam-war-questions.html)

An example of a modern day bandolier, this I would assume would allow you to carry about as much, if not in size, in weight, as a newbie starting pack, but would restrict movement in combat with melee weapons significantly (anyone who's used one of these will tell you they're good, but mildly restrictive on front of body movement)

(http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/1903-bandolier-9-pocket-product,15370)

Around WWI WWII this would have been your more common bandolier, as you can see, it would allow for a greater amount of movement in melee combat, but allows for a lot less carrying space....

(http://kqdesigns.com/rasmelsbreastplate.htm)

The first bandoliers we're AFAIK, actually pat of ritual and custom Native American dress, and used for tribal dances, and stringing weapons, quivers and kills on in everyday use. And were not much more than beads and leather thongs. Over time, these became more developed, and progressed into what you see at the top. The Native American, or possibly,  the WWI WWII styles are the more likely I see being used by people IG.

(Text from http://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,24087.0.html (http://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,24087.0.html) and the Allanak help file...)

Cold Eyes stood in in the midst of his bloodied, wartorn encampment; men and women could be heard weeping in the distance over their fallen friends and family, while broken elven bodies lay strewn across the terrain, unattended, where they would be left to bake.

(http://www.peter-jansen.com/gomorra%20groot.jpg)

His eyes ever as cold and hard as his heart, he looked over the assembled nomadic chiefs, many of which were injured and forgoing care to hear him speak.

(https://yy2.staticflickr.com/5123/5269515322_a733197924_z.jpg)

As one occasionally given to theatrics to help drive his points across, Tektolnes drew a large square in the sand with his toe.  Then he began to speak of walls. Walls bigger than any that had ever been built by the hands of man - at least since the Dragon's reign.  Walls that would keep out the horrors of the wastes, the elven threat (which he deemed a priority, for obvious reasons), and even the very wind and sand itself.  Walls that would keep his children, and the children of all the chiefs, as safe as anything could be. Walls so firm and so thick that they could take a generation to build fully.

(http://www.rutahsa.com/wall-pi.jpg)

But where?  A place harsh enough to keep his people strong, yet surrounded by the resources to keep them alive: Vrun Driath.

(http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/79c5a2a23e271bf33004e3fb80ab7504/http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i103/BangGangster/desert_ruins_by_blinck-d304j7r.jpg)

With an unnerving tirelesness, he planned with the other chiefs until again Suk-Krath lit the horizon.  Turkus, his old, tattooed face appearing weary, looked up into the eyes of Quintus, his leader, and asked what this great city should be called.  Tektolnes' mother had been slain only hours earlier.





Allanak occupies the central part of the Southlands region once known as Vrun Driath, and is surrounded by desert and wastelands on all sides.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2182/2096542268_55c9edfba2.jpg)

The city is possibly the richest single civilization in the Known World, in total wealth.  But the life of the average Allanaki citizen is one of strife - expensive and degenerate living conditions.

(http://www.stankiewicz.e.pl/obrazy/12.jpg)

This, coupled with a nearly omnipotent ruler who watches every move his subjects make.  By contrast, the nobility live in opulent splendor, as do the templar servants of the city-state's king, the Highlord Tektolnes.

(http://www.oceansbridge.com/paintings/artists/jan2012/misc4/Hans-von-Aachen-xx-Two-Laughing-Men-xx-Private-collection.jpg)

Of course, they are also the Highlord's puppets, their lives spent gathering popular support and serving in a Senate whose decisions are somehow always in perfect accord with His Gloriousness's latest decree.

For instance, anything to do with spice is, of course, illegal in Allanak.  While the banning of spice was made many years ago now (and predicted by some nobles and even high templars to have disasterous consequences), its repercussions are still felt in the modern style of Allanaki trade: much of the Allanaki economy has moved underground, the result being that many of the more honest merchants have been "driven out of business".

(http://www.carlsguides.com/walkthroughs/skyrim/pictures/sneakbackstabdagger.gif)

Secret dealings in dark alleys, or even in the Labyrinth, are commonplace - as are the concomitant affairs of extortion, maiming, and murder.

The Arena is the home of Allanak's bloody Games.

(http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/066/9/8/Spartacus_Arena_by_BubiMandril.jpg)

Even from nearby roads outside, the screams of gladiators practicing inside echo over the polished bone spikes that jut above the stone walls.

(http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120313152742/spartacus/images/2/27/SacrGladmainHD.png)

The Arena itself has a smooth, polished stone wall, engraved with a variety of inscriptions, most of them depicting scenes from famous battles and gladiatorial combats.

(http://nekki.ru/images/upload/skulpt_3.png)

It is favored by the city's populace as a place where they can watch various criminals, traitors, elves and people who have somehow irritated a templar fight amongst themselves or against the gladiators of Allanak.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z-6RxQygE-s/UCk4ZMPET_I/AAAAAAAAASE/cvD_JU1ga1E/s1600/SA05GladiatorialArenaWOL.Final.jpg)

Thick round pieces of Thuja wood, reinforced with deadly spikes of chipped obsidian, serve as a deterrent to anyone seeking to interfere with the wild, frenzied, and sometimes barely-contained battles on the arena floor.

(http://www.johncarterofmars.ca/news/saunder.jpg)

The floor itself, some five meters below the edge of the stands, is covered with coarse sand smeared with the bloodstains of fallen gladiators, and scattered throughout with chitin spikes.  It is made up of sand and rocks, as if built directly over the desert that once lay there.

(http://sittinonabackyardfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/large_lawrence_of_arabia_blu-ray_x08.jpg)

In general, there is no escape for someone condemned to the Arena.

A rogue defiler makes an appearance in an Allanaki tavern.

(http://www.learntarot.com/bigjpgs/maj01.jpg)

After exchanging jibes with a blue robed templar he is quickly escorted from the premises.

Later that day a large crowd gathers in the Dragon Temple to witness the defiler's execution.

(http://www.learntarot.com/bigjpgs/maj20.jpg)

Lord Eligeth of the Red, after turning the defiler to a pile of ash, is heard to remark that any such rogue will find a quick death if they dare approach Tektolnes' City.

HavokBlue I think those are like feathered kylori. They could be kenku but I've always understood the kenku to have arms/hands in addition to their wings (as the Dark Sun lore) which is what makes them mythical beasts that are featured in folk tales and legends today.

The Negean Library

Knowledge is power, so the saying goes.  So it is perhaps unsurprising that we can trace some of the recent political upheavals in Tuluk back to a library of texts which has changed hands several times since its inception.


(http://www.thedungeons.com/berlin/images/main-images/library.jpg)

House Negean was a noble house of Tuluk until year 15 of the 22nd Age.  Their traditional area of expertise was in the keeping of Tuluk's history; they held to this ancient trust and, with time, expanded it to the study of all things, everywhere.


(http://www.faculty.umb.edu/gary_zabel/Courses/Phil%20281b/Philosophy%20of%20Magic/Phil%20100/Readings/comet_1532_apian-l.gif)

Correspondingly, the Negeans developed a large library of texts that still exists, which we refer to as the Negean Library.

In the year 1632 (Year 15 Age 22), in an agreement with the Tuluki Templarate, House Negean's nobility were conscripted into the ranks of the templarate and almost immediately put into training.  It is not known whether the Negeans resisted this change or embraced the executive power that came with it, but the House as it was known ceased to exist.

House Uaptal was granted the assets of former House Negean including, perhaps most importantly, the vast wealth of knowledge in its library.  The Uaptals had once been influential, but at this time they were less known for their economic clout and more for their mounts and breeding programs (to this day, many of the best mounts in Tuluk are descended from Uaptal stock).  For this reason, giving them the library may have - retrospectively - seemed like a strange choice.  But perhaps the library was undervalued.


(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Euclid_Vat_ms_no_190_I_prop_47.jpg)

It is even conceivable that some members of House Uaptal viewed its acquisition as a burden, an additional resource they had to watch over and maintain with no clear way to generate returns.


(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ernvWklEXUk/TVlW8xSmRdI/AAAAAAAAAJU/a-wR5LhimEM/s1600/agora11.jpg)

Still, it wasn't long before House Uaptal began to grow, often in substantial and unprecedented ways.  Pivoting off its control over animal husbandry, the House applied a number of unspoken economic and political tactics to grow its wealth and influence in the proceeding years.  This growth continued unabated, much to the befuddlement of the other Tuluki noble houses, eventually placing Uaptal at the third rank among the noble houses in the Tuluki Triumvirate at the peak of its power.  Perhaps the library was a credit, after all.


(http://static.rogerebert.com/uploads/review/primary_image/reviews/agora-2010/hero_EB20100721REVIEWS100729996AR.jpg)

The year 1633 (Year 16, Age 22) marked a boiling point for the rising tensions between Uaptal, Winrothol, and Tenneshi.  Here, at a public event celebrating their good fortune, a member of the High Council of Uaptal was slain in front of onlookers by a shadow artist.  The next year, the Houses of Winrothol and Tenneshi banded together to eradicate Uaptal in an unprecedented utilization of shadow artistry, wherein they outfitted a heavily armed contingent to assault House Uaptal's Estate, slaying most that resided within.

Only crude accounts of the carnage are given.


(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/278/9/d/medieval_urban_combat_by_ryanryzzo-d304xkf.jpg)

All of Uaptal's surviving assets were divided between Winrothol, Tenneshi, and Kassigarh, but it is believed that the Templarate (and the Legion) have secured power of the Negean Library.




































(http://warhammerscenarios.net/wp-content/uploads/Ancient-Book.jpg)

(The suggestion is laughable, but there are whispered legends that suggest a young family member or aide was seen riding off on an unfathomably fast beast, escaping the assault and rescuing a single battered book from the destruction.)

So, I happen to live nearby a both extremely significant and extremely remote archeaological artifact site, kinda like Mal Krian.  It's the Yarmony Pit House site (http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/etc/medialib/blm/wo/Planning_and_Renewable_Resources/coop_agencies/new_documents/co3.Par.72973.File.dat/metcalf.pdf), which is significant because it proves a bunch of masochists wintered over here in the Rockies like yours truly.

Found by an old bank of the Colorado river on the private land of a rich dude whose family makes very famous synthesizers, I found it amongst other artifacts, mainly flakes of flint, yes like the forageable object in the game, almost exactly so.

The Utes were in the area until the 1890s, but there is an enormous void of information between them and the "Folsom" people, who were here between 5-8k years ago.  Before there were pyramids in Egypt.

This is a flint-knapped geode discovered on old Ute lands about a half mile north of the Colorado river.  It was discovered beside a knapped, green stone knife about 3 inches long that I gifted to my Apache neighbor.

It's hard to tell, but countless knapped facets cover the parts of the stone where the geode is exposed.

This beautiful pair of gloves is made out of gold, silver, steel and leather. I can only imagine Muk Utep or Tektolnes wearing these. Note that the right hand has chainmail in order to hold the sword, and the left hand is plated, for the shield. They're from the late 1500's.

Hmm. It's an interesting one. I've seen similar blade designs on halberd, but the haft is normal length.

Probably just call it a heavy war-axe.

1. Not everybody has time or energy to enter every command to appear realistic
2. Some folks prpbably think that kanye west style shutter shades are what sunslits look like, even though those are worthless
3. I give people the benefit of the doubt that characters are automatically lifting their sunslits up to their eyebrows for the duration of.indoors time
4. Dark stained sunslits could look cool. Imagine if those white ones that inuit wears were solid black. Wood tone is cool also.
5. You look goofy o-rama.
6. You can see surprisingly well out of a pinpoint or a slit even indoors. Try it. Field of view is shot and seeing in shadows too but acuity is improved to nearly 20/20. A penalty to CITY scan seems appropriate. (i don't think wildnerness scan would be penalized where you are usually scanning for camouflage patterns and far away hidden animals)

There's a cool-looking pair of sunslits (sensualist?  wtf autocorrect) at the top of this post  about Red Storm (http://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,10535.msg822319.html#msg822319)!   I dunno, I think they can look kind of cool, in a masquerade ball kind of way.  You're probably apt to feel cooler if you've got your earbuds in with Duane Eddy playing.

With the blanket being held like a diamond rather than a square, it's easy to tell that that's actually the top point of it, not some specially sewn hood. FFS it's draped over one side.

I was listening to the old music included with Europa Universalis 2. It includes some bits of late medieval popular music that I like to imagine are more similar to what you'd hear in Zalanthas than anything more modern:

I have no idea how I went my whole life not knowing that a) such a thing existed and b) was readily available near me.

Then I bought one and figured out jackfruit is the most inconvenient food in history.  First, it's giant and covered in spines.  Second, only about a third of the inside is edible (the pink part).  The yellow parts aren't.  The pits aren't.  Then, there is a white paste that is stickier than glue, and will ruin your knives if you don't coat them in olive oil.  Very Zalanthan.
Title: Re: Visualizing Zalanthas..
Post by: awkward on July 20, 2015, 03:34:42 PM
And it tastes/smells like garlicky ass*, so I will second your vote of jackfruit being a very zalanthan (AKA gross and inconvenient*) food item.

* in the opinion of a westerner like me

Post by: James de Monet on July 20, 2015, 03:43:25 PM

Title: Re: Visualizing Zalanthas..
Post by: aeglaeca on July 22, 2015, 06:55:33 PM
It's not inconvenient if you buy it canned!

There is also durian, which has even spikier points than jackfruit.

(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/steven-universe/images/0/02/Durian.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150606203706)

It also smells like utter ass, especially if it's overripe. But it tastes like custard.

Durian fruit smells like a diaper.  A dirty diaper.  And since it smells so strongly of dirty diaper, it tastes like dirty diaper too...at least, I definitely did not think "custard" when I tasted it.

I'm of the opinion that durian can only be enjoyed by those who grew up eating it, or by some genetically different portion of the population.

The less-evolved genetic kind.  Seriously, this fruit is one of the nastiest things to grow on this globe.

I remembering being led to beleive the Zalanthan sky is red, though I did see a place that long ago. One of those out of the way very rarely travelled sort of areas and it disctinctly pointed out the sky being blue, I noticed it because it went against everything I thought. I wonder now if I should have typoed it. Whoops!

Yeah.  I just checked a log of a look at a carru, and in Arm, they have four legs, not six, and antlers, not horns.  Being a dork, I checked, and that picture comes from Appendix II of the Monstrous Compendium, and it is a carru in Dark Sun.  So, upshot: Arm carru are not the same as Dark Sun carru?

From our helpfile:
Quote
Common in the areas surrounding Allanak, these insectoid creatures stand taller and larger than the average human, and their heads are fringed with a multitude of milky, translucent eyes. These beasts, while fairly common, have an aggressive hunter's instinct and a back terrible for riding, and thus are never used as mounts. They are often easy prey to the hunters of Allanak and the southlands, with a pale, soft yellow meat within their thorax, a head that if cooked properly is considered a delicacy, and a tough shell that can often be sold for coins in the larger cities.

Allanak sometimes reminds me of old Rome. Or Greece. I'm thinking they might have the same music as this:

Allanak, according to the old docs, actually has really chaotic music, in an attempt to appear cultured and well, better. I'm trying to find the docs that say this. Raaaargh.

So I'm watching this...

First wincing at all of the failed climb checks and thinking... one of them is going to fall on their neck.

Then I was like... wait... they're just twinking their climb checks.

Then I lost it when the Byn sarge grabs the last runner and is like... oh FFS.  Get over the wall.

10/10.  Would fall off the shield wall again.

Gith are a race of hunched-over humanoids.  Gith share an apparent albeit distant ancestral origin with elves, sharing similar long-limbed frames, as well as exceptional degrees of agility and endurance.

Common folklore holds that the gith are a forgotten tribe of elves who lived beyond the Known World for some several aeons.  (For reference, the only other known beings documented as having their origins outside the Known include the Dragon, and the powerful, unnamed dark creature that allied with the Lord of Storms in in darker days).

(http://img1.goodfon.su/wallpaper/big/8/a6/diablo-3-art-ohotnik-na.jpg)

We can only speculate as to what the gith had to contend with during their time "outside" -- but during this time they developed under extraordinarily harsh conditions into their present form -- gith skin has even been described as being scaly, suggesting some drastic but apparently successful mutation must have occurred.




Today, those gith that have taken up residence within the Known deal with few outsiders and prefer to slay and consume intruders instead.  There are old stories -- often scoffed at -- telling how how gith would occasionally deal with the now-extinct Red Fangs tribe, but their technology remains cruder than even the Zalanthan standard, and the quality of their wares is poor at best. Most items stained by gith usage, so-called "gith gear", are considered to be borderline worthless, due to the tell-tale stench and brutal wear and tear the gith lifestyle imparts.

(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/play-rust/images/c/c7/Bone_Knife_icon.png)

Gith are generally recognized as dangerous nuisances outside city gates.  But even those who have never ventured outside city gates tend to recognize gith, since larger-scale attacks mounted against gith populations by civilized groups routinely result in enslaved bands joining the ranks of the arena population.  A healthy gith is a worrisome sight for any arena gladiator.

Gith occasionally attempt to expand their territory, and on several occasions, gith raiders have attacked Luir's outpost, only to be repelled (here demonstrating that the Outpost is one of the few outlying civilizations to be stable enough to support a regular population, despite the proximity of the gith threat).

Gith society is highly tribal, much like nomadic elves.  However, gith tribal culture is extremely ritualistic and rather cruel.

(http://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-facts-you-should-know-about-Zdzislaw-Beksinski-and-his-outstanding-art18__880.jpg)

Symbolism, tradition, and attention to correct processes marks gith society apart from others (with the possible exception of mantis culture, from whom the gith may have learned).

(http://terrapapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/terrapapers.com_zdzislaw_beksinski_1976-62.jpg)

As elves have their tests of loyalty, tests of merit by combat are common among gith, but other measures such as ritual performance are also frequently used to settle disputes.

(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d2/92/c8/d292c8e469b974715d24a8355ba2a6ac--horror-art-creepy-horror.jpg)

Because of the hostile nature of gith culture to other demihumans, it has been almost impossible to compile any useful information on the language which they speak.  Heshrak appears to have been descended somehow from the Allundean tongue; most likely it descends from one of the proto-variants of Allundean that predate the Dragon's arrival.  Requiring a strong sense of culture to assist them in maintaining their lives in the face of a high death rate, their written language was greatly developed -- by Zalanthan standards.

Learn about Silphium, an ancient Greek plant that was a spiky-yellow flowered, effective 'mule mix'. Highly grown, farmed, and exported at the time. It was culturally directly connected to prostitution, also. The modern birth control section is not related.

Denizens of Zalanthas have a multitude of terms for sand, grit, and dust, and silt falls within that vocabulary.  The ashy residue chokes the lungs, clouds the eyes, fills the nose and mouth.

(http://freebigpictures.com/wp-content/uploads/reddish-sky.jpg)

But silt from the perilous Sea of Eternal Dust is different.  At times this silt exhibits narcotic and even mild hallucinatory qualities.

(http://static1.1.sqspcdn.com/static/f/332732/15296271/1322459404880/sfu_undead01.jpg)

The presence of silt also has an odd effect on many magicks, causing them to either become more powerful or fizzle completely in unpredictable ways.

Some claim spice comes from the sea, thrust ashore by forces unknown.  Indeed, it is frequently found in deposits along the shore that generations have made a living sifting, smuggling, and selling.

(https://simoncareyholt.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/ashes_to_ashes__dust_to_dust__by_cheesysteele-d3nfklw.jpg?w=900)

The sea varies in depth from a few cords to several leagues.  Depending on the state of the moons, the level of the silt may be higher or lower, but the actual maximum depth is unknown.  Still, to allow for the existence of such enormous silt horrors as have been sighted a depth of at least one league would be necessary.

For all intents and purposes, the Sea of Eternal Dust is effectively outside the Known World.

(https://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/articles/doom%202016%20concept%20art%20main.jpg)

Supposedly, several islands exist within it, but these can't be seen from shore.  Few dare travel the sea's seemingly impassable breadth to authenticate these stories.

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3297/3610527810_1cb548c77a_b.jpg)

It is a source of constant danger (of various kinds) for the settlements dotting its shore.  Red Storm itself was devastated by a tremendous wave of silt in the 25th year of the 20th King's Age and had to be rebuilt.

(http://www.mobygames.com/images/promo/original/1467345009-3111115048.jpg)

Beyond the constant storms, the sea and its blighted shore are host to a number of highly adapted creatures that plague travelers.

(http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/dune-frank-herbert-concept-art-simon-goinard-03.jpg)

The silt hawk, for instance, hunts over and near the sea, diving down to snatch up smaller silt hoppers and striders -- but in large enough numbers they have been known to sweep in and take down lone explorers.

Occasionally mistaken for a silt hawk in the distance (a common but deadly error), the leather-winged silt flyer is known to swoop down out of the thick clouds of silt and dust to repeatedly attack prey as large as an inix with deadly patience.

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e85/DizzySommer/Silent%20Hill/Silent%20Hill%20Monsters/AirScreamer.jpg)

Some claim these creatures alone have been responsible for destroying poorly fortified villages, now long swept away.

(http://massimoporcella.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Ritual_Stone.jpg)

From further south come verified accounts of humanoid giants, which are among the very few sentient creatures known to have thrived and existed outside the Known World.  They are rumored to live on hypothesized islands, but since the catastrophic expeditions of Year 35 of the 21st Age, they also inhabit what's left of of Red Storm East.  Few have returned with accounts.

The infamous silt horror varies in size from about that of an inix to some approximation of a large war argosy.  They are most known for the terrible toll they take from the usually stoic and secretive crews of the silt-skimmers.

   This stretch of scrub lies on low, sandy hills broken by boulders                                           
and towering stacks of black rock.  Hardy pech grasses and maar                     
trees are the predominant plants here, though a few swathes of                       
arruth grass snake through the scrub.
                                                     

(https://i.imgur.com/6Dhqg7t.jpg)

   Long yellowish gesra grass sways gently in the breeze, completely
covering the gently rolling hills stretching out in all directions.  Cleanly
cut tree stumps poke up from the soil, evidence of recent logging in the
area.  Old, cracked wagon ruts streak the sides of the low hills, and here
and there the grasses give way to wide swathes of cleared sand or
hardscrabble.  Only the occasional cracked boulder or tumbled spire breaks
the fertile monotony of the landscape.  The air here is dry, but there is a
slight hint of moisture, something normally only felt near an oasis.  Far to
the northwest a line of purple mountains crosses the horizon, slopes
shrouded in dusky haze.

I tried to use DALL-E 2 to generate some character portraits and while I don't know if they captured the characters I was going for, they're pretty cool!

The tall, dark-haired elf looks over at you from a shadowy Labyrinth alleyway.

The short female in the dark, hooded cloak seated at the square, wooden table looks up at you.

QuoteSomething huge breathes loud, wet breaths, hot blasts of fetid air whooshing through the thick undergrowth.

Method 1: MPC-HC player, copypasted to GIMP (https://www.gimp.org/downloads) as layers and just used eraser (https://web.archive.org/web/20230321201911/https://i.imgur.com/DtMbib8.jpg)

2: Marked the gap by hand for InPainting with Easy Diffusion (https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui)

Credit: Friedrich Thaler, Scenery Painter of The Neverending Story production team - edited by me

easy diffusion doesn't have an option yet for custom numbers for width/height so the aspect ratio is changed making it look a bit bulkier than the original done with eraser

It also liked to draw newer-looking flowers (https://web.archive.org/web/20230321201935/https://i.imgur.com/9hXc1qp.png) in the gaps which was cute and seems poetic since the painting is being being brought back to life too, but yes definitely amateur restoration :D

Very reminiscent of the Sun Runners, it's clever how the xylophone has no base so it can be portably carried and placed across anything that is around at the time. :)

QuoteAnnatto from the achiote plant is often used for flavouring or colouring food across the world. The Tsàchila tribe in Ecuador are highly recognisable thanks to their traditional bright orange hair, which is achieved by using the crushed seeds. It is believed they have been doing so for centuries.

This tradition is believed to have been a palliative measure from a time when the Tsachila were exposed to the ravages of smallpox from explorers. A Tsáchila shaman asked a spirit to guide them to a cure by ceremony and prayer. They were guided to an achiote bush. They covered themselves completely with the red juices of the seed-pods and after a few days the mortality in the group was drastically reduced. The Spaniards called them "Colorado" (meaning coloured red) because they thought it was their natural skin.

They are forever grateful to this plant for the protection that it offered to the entire community from smallpox. The shape of their hair style is fashioned to look like the seed pods.

Their native language is Tsafiki, a member of the Barbacoan linguistic family, and translates to mean "true word".

According to the 1997 census, their population had reached 2,640 inhabitants.

QuoteThe Tsachila are known for being skilled weavers .. Traditional skirts are worn; black and white for the men in honor of the highly venomous equis snake, and rainbow colored for women. With the spread of Catholicism, the women started to wear bright sequined tops instead of being naked from the waist up.

.. We asked about the floral bath. "We thought you wanted the rejuvenating option!" he said. His eyes twinkled.

.. My guide showed me a beautiful spot overlooking the river and explained to me that, as the city has encroached, the water has become so polluted that the Tsachila can no longer drink, bathe, fish, or wash clothes in it. This is especially tragic considering that fish constitutes their primary food.
