Kaylin88100ParticipantOK, the poll is now closed again…and it’s a draw again (or still)! So what I’ll do is alternate my time between both options and try and finish both by the end of the summer.

HarlekinMemberSo you request, but i think i made a little mistake you need family? Like parents and child or the elven family with only one character?
So here is the first.

Kaylin88100ParticipantLovely, Harlequin. Thanks. Could you post the text files please?
Keep ’em coming, folks! Also, bonus points to the first person to spot the tiny little mistake in Harlequin’s pictures.August 6, 2012 at 4:02 am #8646
Kaylin88100ParticipantPROGRESS UPDATE:
Added the “Téras” page, but there’s not much on there at the moment.If anyone wants to make me an elven child (either sort, as long as you get the hair colour right! ), feel free.

Added Harlequin’s pictures (the fixed versions) to the “Elves” page in the appropriate places.August 18, 2012 at 8:58 am #9456
XimeroParticipantHi, Kaylin Glad to see you’re still at it – i see the Kairula pages flourishing, and even attracting support from other artists, which is always great. So congratulations are in order! Meanwhile, i would like to ask you (but never mind if it leads you to spoil any plot twists or anything) whether the Shadow will be approached more in-depth. So far, i could only spot a cryptic (ominous, even ) reference to it as being the place where no one in his/her right mind should go, but i would indeed be curious as to what manner of beasts lurk therein. Would it all be a sort of Bizarro-Kairula, similar to the original but deformed in some way, or even an Anti-Kairula, or much much worse, some nook or cranny of the Abyss? Would humans (greedy as they ever are) try to tap into its frightful energies? Would some native mage / magic creature come back from it with a vengeance? Would the Shadow find some way of ‘spilling over’ onto Kairula (and Earth, via infected/-ing portals) as a sort of consuming contagion? etc. etc. (donating ideas, since i have no HM creation to donate as of yet)

Kaylin88100Participant@Ximero:
You…you…MIND READER! That’s exactly how I see it!SUPER SECRET SPOILER:
There have been several wars fought over the history of Kairula, and the most recent one, less than a century ago, was when someone opened a portal in a total eclipse…
I’ll leave the rest to your imagination – for now…

XimeroParticipantmwuhuhuhu :}
I’ll look forward to reading how it all plays out

Kaylin88100ParticipantXimero mentioning the Shadow got me thinking about monsters…
[polldaddy poll=”6486215″]August 26, 2012 at 2:04 pm #9972
Kaylin88100ParticipantLinks to the info on each of the monsters:
Eosi: http://kairula.wikispaces.com/Eosi
Gloamglozers: http://kairula.wikispaces.com/Beasts+and+Monsters+of+Kairula (scroll down)
The Shadow: http://kairula.wikispaces.com/Magic (part of the Portals section) and also mentioned in the previous link
Valheru: http://kairula.wikispaces.com/ValheruAugust 27, 2012 at 3:25 am #10030
XimeroParticipantVoted! And thanks for the info links (we’re all lazy…) – though i would make the slight objection that (unless i’m not recalling it right) the Shadow is more like ‘the dark side of the Force’, or the dimension/plane that sustains it (which, scary and unknown as it may be, arguably could contain some (former?) beauty as well – cf. Jotunheim in ‘Thor’ ). So maybe pitting monsters against a force/dimension is a bit inconsistent. That said, though, i’d pay good money to see a battle between Eosi and Gloamglozers
August 27, 2012 at 5:00 am #10032
Kaylin88100ParticipantYeah, me too. And actually, the Shadow is a living entity – I think. It might be composed of hundreds of smaller entities, though – like every shadow, everywhere…
Also, the Gloamglozers are more of a force of nature as well – they’re basically Void elementals, living embodiments of the element/plane/dimension.
August 27, 2012 at 10:33 am #10051
XimeroParticipantAh, my bad. I quite like the Shadow and the Void (as defined above) existing in the Kairulaverse – together with the Eosi making it all way much more than a medieval-ish (at least pre-Industrial Rev.) fantasy (since it has some clearly sci-fi elements as well – so kudos for that). Also, way to go with the b&w circus, looking forward to seeing the series complete
August 27, 2012 at 11:45 am #10052
Kaylin88100ParticipantThe thing with Kairula is that it doesn’t need an Industrial Revolution, when it’s already had a magical one.
The quality of life is about the same as modern-day Terra, if not better. -
