I like your post; I think that it's very detailed and well thought out! Oh, and I'm planning on using the character list I posted several posts above this one to attack the group of Slag Giants. I'll probably have them patrolling the outskirts of the base to look for potential wildlife, if that's alright with you.

Thanks. It took forever with how many things I had to respond too...

Have fun with the giants! :3

Looking for more wildlife? So the giants are going to turn you away from that?

Only temporarily, depending on whether or not the squadron manages to survive. Gutcruncher and his squad were sent out by Scorponok to search for wildlife to weaponize for the Empire's assault on the capital. This could be used in the IC to gather more data about animals who may potentially be weaponized for the Empire. Perhaps the Slags could be the first to be experimented on...

Well, seeing as the giants do still have some intelligence, sentience, language, and indeed a culture, that may be tricky. Not necessarily impossible though.

Terrifying thought though.

Okay, that's fine.Take your time. This doesn't have to be fast. More time between posts means more time to spend planning a good post, and less hassle and rush that lead to problems in the first thread.

CING, do you realize that the ship already got knocked out of the sky, and Nyx is inside the city?

CING, do you realize that the ship already got knocked out of the sky, and Nyx is inside the city?

Do you realize that the city would have been reacting as soon as they saw the ship, and Nyx approaching?

Now that they're in the city... I guess fighting breaks out? How do we want to handle this?

[Apathyverse]

Arg... What have I missed? Sorry for being late, real life and such. And it pains me very much to remember that just a few weeks ago I was asking whether CING is gone or not, completely oblivious to their post.

Which part of your post, CING, was referring to my ground forces?

First two paragraphs under Varuskan Badlands. This describes the environment where they landed; and as you specifically mentioned scouts, it will say what they find. Also, your troops are being attacked by a giant monster. (This is why very big walls were invented.)

I have a question: Would it be possible to try to ally with a god from another plane in that Universe to try and help in the war against the Independent Nations and Guilds? Hypothetically, what would the results be in the best case and worst case scenarioes?

I have a question: Would it be possible to try to ally with a god from another plane in that Universe to try and help in the war against the Independent Nations and Guilds? Hypothetically, what would the results be in the best case and worst case scenarioes?

Would it be possible? Definitely.

There are several different categories of gods in the Wartorn Realms. I'll give a quick rundown, as well as what sort of results to expect:

The most powerful deities in the Wartorn Realms are the Elder Gods. I'm going to shoot straight here: they won't ally with anyone. They view other beings as little more than a nuisance at best, and a resource to be exploited at worst. They are completely alien in thought processes, form, and power. Their very presence contaminates flesh, mind, and soul, and there is a very good chance that they aren't even aware of the damage they cause, nor care. And merely attempting to ally with Elder Gods, regardless of how futile an endeavor it is, will make you lots of enemies, both in and outside the Confederacy. (This is impossible to succeed except in very, very specific circumstances, difficult to attempt, will greatly escalate the conflict, and almost certainly wipe out all your armies even if you do succeed.) There are mortal followers of Elder Gods, but they usually follow very specific ones, and even then the Elder Gods tend to be incredibly fickle with their "blessings", if they even pay attention at all. (Most Elder Gods don't pay attention to any mortal followers they may have at all, and aren't even aware that mortals exist as anything more than than we may think of flies.) And these followers tend to be greatly persecuted whenever they are discovered.

Beneath Elder Gods in terms of power are Planar Lords. Each plane, except for the Spirit World, has at least one Planar Lord ruling over it, including the Material Plane. Planar Lords are still quite powerful, but less inscrutably alien in their mental faculties. However, they are capable of being tainted... and when they become tainted, the whole plane goes with it. The Planar Lords have many strong abilities and powerful followers, and could make for powerful allies, or enemies. However, while it is definitely possible to ally with Planar Lords, it is not easy, as many mortal actions tend to be quite beneath them. And in the event that one does ally with them, they would most likely make enemies of other Planar Lords. (This is possible, though difficult, and will greatly escalate the conflict.)

In addition to Planar Lords are Inevectus and Maleficarum. Both categories describe gods that were once not divine, but achieved divinity through great and unknown magics. Both are significantly less powerful than Planar Lords, but both also tend to have greater numbers of mortal followers, while most Planar Lords could care less if they had any mortal followers or not. Though Inevectus and Maleficarum are greatly less powerful, they care a lot more about their followers, and are still far more powerful than most mortals. The biggest difference between Inevectus and Maleficarum are that Inevectus are "pure gods", and Maleficarum are "tainted gods", but there are some differences between how each functions. Inevectus require the prayers of mortals to maintain their divinity. Maleficarum don't, they maintain their divinity through the taint itself. As a rule of thumb, Maleficarum grow more powerful as they age, regardless of if they have any followers at all; but most don't turn down followers as that means less followers to Inevectus, and it gives them more of a foothold in the Material Plane. An Inevectus can become a Maleficarum if they become tainted, but it is entirely possible for tainted mortals to ascend as Maleficarum, without ever having been an Inevectus. However, the worship of Maleficarum itself is often persecuted (except in the Confederacy, ironically.) (Definitely possible, but beware as they are as flawed as mortals.)

Thanks for the explanation.

I think that after Gutcruncher and his crew have dealt with the Slag Giants, I might have Scorponok or one of the Micromasters make a deal with the Devil. That Devil being one of the Planar Lords or the Maleficarum.

Oh, and I need to remind myself to one day create some more short descriptions of the Micromasters in the Wartorn Realms.

Well, there are the Lower Planes, which are ruled over by Planar Lords... those could certainly be the "devils" you are looking for.

As for some notable Maleficarum, there's St. Veleno, once a saint of the Imperial pantheon and patron of knights and crusades, twisted into a god of assassinations and coup de’tat. There's also Daemusari, once the patron goddess of elves... when she fell, the entire civilization went with it, and she became a goddess of disease, undeath, and cannibalism, and is believed to be the source of Plaga Immortis (zombie disease), a virulent pandemic disease with no cure. And there's also Moisala, who intentionally became Maleficarum, and is a goddess of revelry and debauchery, and some of her followers founded a traveling circus.

I'm a bit surprised you didn't suggest trying to make a deal with the god of machines, though. (Yes, there is one.)

[Independant Nations and Guilds]

I noticed my post from before formatted the combat strength weird, so I went back and fixed it with the use of the "list" code, layered on itself a few times to create the indentations that were intended, to make the whole mess readable. Sorry if there was any confusion before, it should be easier to read now.

I'm interested about the "God of Machines". Yeah, it's very likely that Scorponok would make a deal with them.

We also have our own gods: the Guiding Hand (Primus, Epistemus, Solomus, Adaptus, and Mortilus), and the Pentacore (Unicron, Akra, Harbinger, Kryn and Syncorax). In this case, the god of note would be Unicron the Chaos-Bringer. He created Galvatron and the rest of the Unicronian Decepticons in The Transformers: The Movie. He's also been fought in other continuities, e.g. the entirety of the Unicron Trilogy and Transformers: Prime.

More information on him can be found here: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron.

Let me pull out my word document and see what I can find...

Let's see... His name is Lepigio, and he is also known as the Great Artificer and the Mechanist.

I can't find a lot on him here, but if I recall, despite being the ruler of the Shattered Plane, he prefers solitude, and rarely appears before his subjects. He prefers working on new inventions over actually governing his people. And his plane is filled with many intelligent constructs, which enforce his rule. He prefers to use his vast intellect to solve his problems, rather than brute force, utilizing magics, logic, and invention to accomplish his goals. While he is weaker than a few of the other Planar Lords, he is still powerful enough to not be trifled with, and he does have that army of constructs, as well as divine technology far beyond anything seen anywhere else in the Wartorn Realms.

Oh, and his alignment is Lawful Pure. Not that that probably matters. (Yes, pure. I replaced the "good" and "evil" axis with the Taint mechanic from 3.5e Heroes of Horror, for the setting. All that the "pure" means is that he hasn't be touched by the taint of the Elder Gods.)

I hope this helps.

Oh damn... that information you shared there. Yikes.

Maybe you could make a post about one of these Elder Gods reacting to The Unknown’s actions?

[Independant Nations and Guilds]

Maybe you could make a post about one of these Elder Gods reacting to The Unknown’s actions?

Well, besides the fact that the only language they would be communicating in is Dark Speech. It is not a normal language... mortals can learn a few words at best, and merely uttering words in it is enough to empower dark spells, break the world around, and send the minds of those not tainted reeling back in horror. Unless you want a post that looks like nothing but this:



...it would be best to not make a post like that, but instead show the effects, rather than the process. Not to mention, nothing yes has happened that would attract the attention of Elder Gods. And that's a good thing. If they ever physically get involved, it would be campaign ending, as there would no longer be a Wartorn Realms to fight over.

Nether, Independant, I sent a dropship to Feicui Qiangcheng. Feel free to bring it down from the skies.
