That would make Agony a narrator FOr reasons

It has to do with the mechanic. I think that might be cool but there'd need to be changes. Because Rending is inherent in the person, not the item. The item is a better focus if it has Aeian magic, which is what you are feeding to the Slumber beast. The Rending magic also feeds on the Aeian magic.

um Agony would prolly kill the person, sooo....... Put them out of their misery sort of thing I'll see if Ashkolada responds, but I may need you

Well I mean You do get the ability to like use the element after consuming it So like if you consume a blade used by an Adjucator you can use lightning

I mean Well Consuming is pretty much that You take their focus, so they can’t Rend, and it’s destroyed You can also consume another human Since the body is the best focus possible

No uh your consuming is similar to Rending, but it is better for different things

Theani dashed backwards, cutting a rope behind her and collapsing the ceiling of the room as she exited.

“Rending ~ shadow magic. Using a focus (certain shapes are better as focuses, seems abstract but there is a reason. Staves and swords are good. Items associated with change (again, a sword) are better focuses as well). With these focuses, they Rend something touching their focus - shattering it irreparably. And I mean irreparably. If the shattered fragments are smelted down and forged, these fragments are significantly more difficult to Rend. Anyways, when a Render rends something, they begin to Rend their focus with each rending, until it is also broken permanently. They can use their bodies as a focus, and their bodies are the best focus possible, but this is very very dangerous.” So you take someone else’s focus. When you consume it, it erupts into whatever element it’s associated with Kinda A little bit of communication

They are not exactly driven mad by the Slumber, but pretty much Magical creatures are all Slumber Beasts (not always dragons)… You can definitely sense magic, yeah. You’ll use that to sense what you can consume

I’m just hhhmm trying to figure out the mechanics behind that. Okay, yeah, but you can’t choose who you do it to

Tis punishable by death and two days of torture.

Okay. Thats cool…….. lemme think…. It sounds like it would come from Aeia, tho. Okay, you can access the Chaos inherent in others, and can mold it. The effect of this is mostly noticeable during sleep/dreams (bringing out the destructive aspect may encourage nightmares, etc.). But if you suppress the Chaos, push it, this will put them to sleep.

Okay a few notes Dragons here will exist, but… it’s complicated. You won’t be able to communicate with them. And elements… Hmmm Okay, you’ll be an Eternal that attempted (and failed) to cross the chasms, meaning you took the tiniest bit of the Slumber within you, and you gain powers similar in nature to Adtae’s powers.(oh crap I forgot to explain Adtae in the lore) You can consume other people’s Focus’s or Focus candidates (see rending I think it was described on the first page) to gain energy like you described. Traveling into the chasms infected you with the slumber, and you took a Slumber Beast (these are the dragons) in. By using your energy, you can release the Beast momentarily, spewing an element most associated with the focus you last consumed. If you don’t consume focuses enough, the Beast will consume you. Yeah. Describe… what that entails?

Ye

Dragon Hhhhmmm Yes You won’t start with this, but your character will discover it

Sure I’ll begin crafting a plausible ability set.

Uuuhhh I won’t be able to do this

Theani tossed a knife at the officer, then backed behind the burning paintings as she retrieved a shortsword.

Not much will change it, and if it does oh well that’s fine. Uuuhhh medieval period. It doesn’t really matter if you break from lore a little bit (because there is a multiverse that I briefly mention in the lore) Additionally, Aeia can and would have blessed towns with some minor powers unique to them, so… there a wide variety of things. If you are “noble” (parallel, but it’s not the exact same system), tho, you will be an Eternal, so you may or may want that. The problem is, there’s a LOT of lore that I haven’t handled in a very long time (however, it isn’t ALL the lore, because this is only Era 2/3 out of like 10) @Spark of Hope

Theani smiled, looking at them and retrieving a weapon.

plateaus are generally very large tho so yea I put a lore dump in the description

Yeah Pretty difficult to miss Ill put it up in the description, because it’s important and I didn’t know I would be doing it when I made this thread the catastrophe was called the First Rending Basically, the world was fractured into a bunch of plateaus with uncrossable chasms — shadows separate them, and these shadows kill those who try to cross (there are ways to cross them, but not readily accessible. There’s two people that can. One of them is unaffected by the shadows between chasms by nature, and the other one (the Judge) used methods unique to the Immortals)

Philosophy is on theme, yeah! I ask because there’s a catastrophe some years/months before the beginning that makes trade pretty difficult

Uuuuhhhhh Original characters You can play Kreen, but no memories of other RPs What would he do if he weren’t a merchant?

Future sight is actually yeah that’s something that does exist Its usually era 0 exclusive but it actually exists in all eras.
