MYTHOLOGY

THE STAFF by 月老 @ Jun 24, 2015 21:13:23 GMT -6

Our updates and sitewide discussion will be done here. For those of you who are new to the game, please reference the omnibus for all necessary discussion of culture and lore. The purpose of the mythology board is purely for dialogue between staff and members about site changes, whereas the omnibus details the setting, as does the abridged version.

SHANGDI

a coat on the wall [c] by QUAN FUU @ Jul 14, 2015 0:57:18 GMT -6

From above, the empire of Shambala appears as a great, downcast eye nestled along a brow of mountains. High in these mountains is the Winter Country, while in the lowlands cloaked in beautifully green forests is the Spring Land. Shangdi—the brilliant heart of the empire—a city of rivers—a city built in the shape of the character for “Heaven's Doorway”—a city in sight of the Sacred Gate—lies in Shambala’s low pupil along its eyelid of the sea, where it weeps the great tear of the Summer Land and smaller drops for the eight islands of the Autumn Country.

UPCOMING: A BRIDE FOR THE EMPEROR - 7/14.

SPIRIT REALM

LOCATION LISTING by 月老 @ May 25, 2015 18:54:05 GMT -6

This realm beyond Life; this realm beyond Death; this realm where only spirits go. It is endless valley, grim, gray, and hard, bloodless earth, surrounded by endless mountains, ever distant and unreachable. Mountains that walk seven leagues—always, in every direction. Pools of glassy water, rimmed in dry red, pocket the land. The sky overhead churns forever—without day, without night—a sky the color of a storm that never comes.

UPCOMING: NOTHING.

NIBIRU

BA'AL

LOCATION LISTING by 月老 @ May 25, 2015 18:47:11 GMT -6

The shivering, strumming heart of the desert—it drifts in the air, a massive fortress tethered to the ground by magicked shackles that enshrine the great capital of Ba'al. Each chain is built of steel and gold, behemoths weighing tens of thousands of pounds and immovable as they stake off the gaping cavern beneath the city. White marble and washed-stone glean in the sunlight, encased in murals made of sharpened porcelain, chiseled opal and ruby, and blown glass.

UPCOMING: THE PHANTOM RAIL - 7/30.

DESERTLANDS

On unfamiliar soil [OPEN] by YONTEN @ Jul 12, 2015 18:33:29 GMT -6

At the end of the Shambalan border, a land painted in emerald green and autumn red slowly fades to gray, citrine, and straw-colored. A massive scene of craggy mountainside and thick wasteland, it is devoid of all life—even the fine, golden sands its legends speak of have disappeared. The stuff exists only in crawling rivers that flow to the gaping cavern under the floating capital, tumbling downward into nothing and leaving a mist of dust behind. Ledges snake around the bottomless pit of the desert, hidden by Nibiru's ghostly waterfalls.

UPCOMING: THE GOLDEN TOWER - 8/12.

THE MAG MELL

CARNEVAL

LOCATION LISTING by 月老 @ May 25, 2015 18:49:34 GMT -6

"A city under the hill; a door to the underworld." Carneval is many things, ancient least-of-all, and lays buried deep past a cairn guarded by Shambala's Bai-shi. Built in layers that spiral like stairs, it climbs a Gothic clocktower. Near the smoky ceiling of the cave, soft-lights and hazy neons glow before they fizz and snuff out—embers in a low-burning fire. Lively and romantic, Carneval has a way with strangers, caught in the upswing of an industrial revolution that never spread past its borders.

UPCOMING: THE FESTIVAL OF MASKS - 8/12.

KELLS ISLANDS

LOCATION LISTING by 月老 @ May 25, 2015 18:50:16 GMT -6

Unobtrusive, olive-colored hills and islands dot the marshes that creep the edges of the great bay. Curtained in morning dew and the thick, fresh taste of country air, brick and wooden homes sit alongside clumsily fenced fields and untamed forest. Old landlines hang above man-made land bridges, murky water seeping over loosely-connected planks when the tide begins to rise under the moon's pearl. Stories tell of hauntings, kidnappings, and spiriters—deadly human traffickers that come and go through Carneval.

UPCOMING: NOTHING.

PREOCCUPATIONS

Introductions! by YONTEN @ Jul 8, 2015 19:46:32 GMT -6

Everything outside the in-character sections of Shambala can be stored, tossed, poked fun at, or generally abused here. Perhaps you have a game you might like to post? Have at it. Or a song to share with the rest of us, perhaps artwork or pieces of writing? Your site OTPs haven't gotten enough attention? (... well. We all have them.)
