Thanks for writing these up and posting them for the player base. Keep feeding me please.

I would like to know more about the Thryzn

[Fernandezj]

Thryzn have a vaguely mantis like name?

Mutations abound on the surface of Zalanthas, and many have gone so far as to become species in and of their own right, such as the deadly psionic gaj, the Thryzn who assisted in freeing the north, the animate cacti known as Thornwalkers, and the fierce insectoid kryl.

Mutants are supposed to seem to be more common along the shore of the silt sea, and Allanak is certainly much closer to the sea than Tuluk.  My general impression was that. prior to the importation of the Thryzn, mutants were more common in Allanak than Tuluk.  PCs are never Thryzn, so there is no reason for mutant PCs to be more common in the north than in the south.  Perhaps slightly more accepted, but not more common.

Oh, interesting. Thank you.

Is anyone else wondering why thousands of them just killed themselves and their children?

As I understand it, they worship this tree that Yaraya brought from the Archives. Whatever it is, it is a holy symbol for them, and they are sacrificing themselves for whatever "guardian" trope she is, to the tree itself.

They're linked to the tree which is of a similar nature to the one the Archivists had, but bigger and more than one person is linked to it. She seemed to use this link to compel them to death, combined with their inclination towards fire and hopes and etc

[Brokkr]

They worship fire as well.  Have monthly rituals where they jump through bonfires. The highest, "holiest" among their society wield control over fire. Basically, they make the Sun Runners look like punks.

[Delirium]

Can confirm, Thryzn are no fucking joke.

... what if they "elven outpost" the Keep? What a cool new place to visit. Excellent work on the story, and wow.

The Queen.

[Wday]

I love this story!!!

[Brytta Léofa]

RIP king

I kind of wished Luir's was taken over by her than Allanak.

[mansa]

Was Papoulis the man on the salt flats ?

[Brokkr]

papolaos was.

[Dan]

He should've made like a tree and got the fuck outta there.

[Bebop]

I'm not really going to comment on the story itself further but I just wanted to say thank you to Brokkr for doing this and trusting the community with this information instead of closely guarding it.  I hope staff gets lots of positive feedback and we'll see more things like this in the future.  As someone who hasn't played in about a year, it's helpful in considering a return as well to understand the state of the current game.

[Night Queen]

I'm glad the childish ageist attacks on the character were pretty much a one off thing, I know it's possible because I've been there


The story feels like it's something that's really onto the current dreaming culturally:) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_unconscious

ancient primal symbols such as The Great Mother, the Wise Old Man, the Shadow, the Tower, Water, and the Tree of Life.

Currently in development now by

all of us,

be sure to read the trilogy's epic final story, "Queen" coming in

a decade or two!

Yes, but no.

Allanak left the outpost, so you have to assume that the Outpost is under the control of the GMHs again, without knowing IC factors.

I much prefer a new place to visit. Not live, unless you count being able to quit out there living, but visit. New places to visit suggest the world is breathing and living. I always love that. I don't want to see apartments, or trades, or any of that stuff there, but it would be fucking cool to have a new route to travel to get to the new "place" in the Known, and merchants there offering new stuff or rare stuff, etc, etc.

Is it gonna happen? Probably not. But still it'd be cool. Also, Luir's is a great location for a trade route or for trade entities like the GMHs. It is a horrible place for a new power opposed to the two existing ones to try to take over, from a logistical standpoint.

I am not afraid to admit that I am totally confused as to what the hell you're talking about at all.

Amen. I'm neurodivergent and ADHD and GAD but I feel that is the closest I have come to looking into the gaze of the Old Ones.
