Why does the sand shark have gills?

Vennant doesn't appear to age because he serves drinks at the speed of light. Now you know why there's no delay on the buy code in the Gaj.

Because FUCK YOU, that's why

It's well known that the primary propulsion system of a sand shark is the process by which they inhale sand and then project it out of their gills at high speeds

That's how I always imagined Gaj.

If the Gaj was half that fun consistently the only complaint about tavern sitting is that it'd be the best thing in the game ever.

For my part, this clip has always had a big influence on how envision the "mood" of Zalanthas, and of Allanak in particular:

Highlord Tektolnes discusses the nature of time and prophecy with a few of His Black Robe Templars.

I stumbled upon this on Reddit, it's about finding and working sapphires, agate, garnet and some more common gemstones found in Zalanthas. And the way they look when they've been cut (aka worked by Kadius).

I found it quite interesting and beautiful.

And while I'm on the subject of gemstones:

Fire opal:

Sometimes, severity is the price we pay for greatness

I love those, thanks Iiyola.

That Opal looks like a freaking fire-bombing.

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, 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.



Sun glyph medicine ball thing found within 3 miles of the Yarmony pit house site.

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.

You know I think if James simply retitled his thread "Cheese" and apologized for his first post being off-topic, all problems would be solved.

LOL

I'm taking an indeterminate break from Armageddon for the foreseeable future and thereby am not available for mudsex.

I know, that annoys me as well. The "outfit" just screams Red Fang, though
