May I please join as Osmann? I really have no idea for a backstory...

I didn't really think of that, but now that you bring it up, I think that there will be a 7-man ruling council for 9 nomadic tribes, and there is an elder on each of the councils whose only extra power is to group with the 8 other high council members for decisions regarding the whole race. I will think up names for the tribes later. I do believe I tried to claim a spot, and I saw it in an updated map, but I don't know how to add a spoiler, as I am a bit new to this, so could someone please explain?

The eskimo nomad dwarf race thing I have been developing is called the Kall Dvärg (which translates into Cold Dwarf in Swedish (thanks Google Translate)). They are basically a human-like race whose max height is about 4 feet tall, and the tallest could be 4 ½ feet. They are a hardy race, who can survive off of a bit more than humans can, so like little shrubs and bits of grass (although those are scarce in the regions). They live in Kvef (once again, google translate taught me that the noun cold is kvef in icelandic this time), a snowy ice-mountain region, as I have specified in an earlier post. They mostly live in ice caves or almost burrow down into the deep snow to create their own caves. In order to survive, they use a kind of elemental fire magic, where the power of the magic is negatively proportional to their current core body heat. If they are freezing to death, they will be able to create a huge inferno, but if they are toasty warm, they can make a basic campfire. It basically controls how much power they have, because if they summon a huge fire when dying of cold, the fire will warm them up and they will lose power. Every year or so, they move to a different place, because they have essentially melted everything in that vicinity, so they move to let the snow gather again. They have a ruling council of 7 elders, and basically they vote, and their word is law. The elders are decided by more or less those who have survived in the cold the longest, as they have an adulthood ritual. You get thrown out of society when you turn 15 years of age, and you can return whenever you want, but your rank and status in the society depends on how long you can stay out. Some Kall Dvärgs just stay exiled and live a life away from everyone else. Please ask any questions, and I am always open to constructive criticism.

What if when one was used up, a new one of it's kind instantly pops up in a random place in the earth? As Badger was saying, the white lumuoles could be almost transformed into it, but then wouldn't you have to find it anyways? So I guess the two ideas are kind of the same, but who knows? Also, there could be a physical representation of the different colored shards, so that you can there is almost a giant floating shard randomly popping in and out of this world in different places to spawn in more lumuoles. I was also wondering if I could claim the eastern D, H and the blue (that doesn't have a letter assigned to it) area. I would maybe populate it with the eskimo/miner race I was thinking up, or create an almost nomadic tribe that just travels within their domain. Screenshot of the portion of the map I was thinking: On a side note, how can I upload images from my computer without having to use a URL, because I can't exactly go and host a website. The way around this I found was to just get a google blog thing (they're free, woo hoo!) and just make it private viewing. I then upload the picture in a post and click on open image in new tab, and then it is a url hosted by blogger. It would just be easier to upload directly from my computer.

Hello all, I am ok at sketching basic pencil drawings, and I can do some very basic CGI on the computer. I apologise for not having any examples of my work, as they are at the bottom of some recycling bin because I don't save my work. As for other considered artworks, I can... Play the drums (I mostly do jazz and some rock, but I would like to learn Red Hot Chili Peppers) Photography (outdoors, I can't do people) Writing (I have a very weird writing style of completely switched around grammar to make it an interesting read) Programming (I am working on a text-based role-playing adventure game) I am currently thinking in my mind of a coolly shaded, almost but not quite black and white drawing of a figure standing in the mists (after Mistborn, kind of obviously)

I have noted that this thread has started a while ago, however I would like to join if you would let me. I think that a network of ancient obelisks, arches, gates, etc. could be in use as almost a way of travelling from place to place, however it does need a source of power, and limits to what can travel (like only organic matter and the clothes that people carry on their backs) so that in times of war people can't send supplies and armies through. A mountainous polar region would be a cool area because you can have almost a dwarf/eskimo combo race that kind of stays underground to survive the cold, and there could be minerals or other materials that they mine. Magic there would be used as a way of staying alive, not really a luxury for anything else. Mainly focused on a kind of fire magic type thing, so that they can bear the cold in sub-zero temperatures. The way it would take power is kind of like a feruchemy type thing, but instead of using up the heat in your body, it would negatively match that. So if you were dying of the cold, you could create a huge inferno, but then you would warm up and the power would fade. I guess that in a way it does take the cold from you, by creating a fire with the heat and size directly proportionate to your core and limb temperature.
