Round 2
Chaos Card
New round, new Chaos Card! Here’s something funny, the card I drew is “The Joining” which states “A society and their nearest neighbor merge together”. Now I could choose to discard this card, but let’s run with it.
What happened is, Choshaur died and years later a student of faer’s finds some sort of journal fae wrote. In this journal Choshaur admits that fae intentionally told those who did not want to worship Ah’Tix that they were banished. In the journal the exact words that Ah’Tix spoke to faer. While not instant, this reunites the two groups into the United Ethereals of Ah’Tix. They now explore the world and return to the mountains to pray.
Turn 1
Alright, there needs to be more map. Especially if these people are exploring! Time to draw more tiles!
The tiles I defined were: I3, I4, J5. These three are mostly more plains with some forests, lakes, and beaches. What’s the one interesting thing about these tiles? Well, the obvious thing is these are the places most explored by the Ethereals, but that’s not really much of an answer. Instead they should find something there. What they find are magic rocks that exist just under the surface of these fields. They’re like quartz crystals or something. These rocks let the bearers use magic. Remember these are gaseous ghostly people, so I think they sort of place the rocks inside their chests.
Turn 2
I want more map defined. But instead of sticking to the same general area, let's go somewhere else!
This time the tiles that were defined were: B3, C3, C4. More mountains, forests, some rivers and lakes, and even a little beach. I got kind of a thing going with this temperate section in rows 3 through 5 I guess.
What’s interesting about these three tiles? Where I think something new pops up here. This time it’s not gas-like spirits but flesh and bone humans. One day trees in the forest of C4 started to bear fruit. These fruit grew and grew until they fell to the ground and burst open. Inside were adult humans. They were fully capable of speech and survival. The forest became known as the Forest of Life.
Turn 3
It’s tempting to set a scene with these humans or to draw more of the map around them, but let’s go with CHAOS. After discarding a card and then accidentally shuffling the deck (whoops), I pulled “The Bountiful”.
This card lets me pick a tile and then that tile becomes bountiful and rich in whatever way I want to interpret that. Just picking a tile is a bit boring. Let’s roll some dang dice! I’m going to roll 1d12 and 1d8, then use those as the coordinates. The results I got were 9 and 4. So that’s… I4!? We defined that tile earlier. Wow!
What happens here is that the Ethereals find a massive source of magic crystals. The way I am going to represent that is by drawing some pink lines over the map.
React
I have not used a react yet, so let’s do that now. I’m going to set a little reaction scene to this discovery.
Something is found deep within the mine. A new sort of magic rock that glows with a strange darkness. An Ethereal by the name of Mizia takes it upon themself and they instantly disappear.
