Accepted and let's go ahead.

Let's go ahead.

Agreed

Okay then I am officially kicking off time for Round Three Submissions:

1 or 2 cultures   (1 or 2 per player).
--Each player will describe one or two cultures that exist/s in the fantasy world. Each culture can be based on everyone in the culture being the same species, or have some other sort of basis (belief system, say).
--No culture is allowed to be inherently eeeeeevilllll.
--DO NOT SUGGEST THINGS THAT ARE EXACTLY LIKE A CULTURE THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN D&D/PATHFINDER/ANYWHERE ELSE.
--Each player may create one or two cultures. Two cultures will give you more chances to get votes.
--Top six recipients of votes will become officially canon as existing in the fantasy world.

Each of you PRIVATE MESSAGE me your ROUND THREE submission starting NOW.

Would a Company Count as a Culture?

That sounds more to me like a Faction (see Round Seven.)

But I guesssssssss if it really dominates every part of the entire community's life... if, as I said, it counts as their Belief System...

I was more so making a Joke about Company Culture.

Well... now you've got an answer anyway.

Sorry. But that does give me an idea for A Culture.

Would City-States be considered Cultures?

I think so

ROUND THREE: CULTURES is up.

To help avoid the need for a runoff, give 3 points to two entries, and then 2 to two others, and then 1 to two others. (Like last time, it may not succeed in avoiding a tie, but at least it seems fair.)

PM me your votes.

Do NOT vote for your own submission at all.

Voted round 3.

It was difficult to discard any of your suggestions...

Very good job.

Hm, I meant to put that post here in OOC.

Oh well, I'll leave it there for now and clean it up later

Anyway, DISCUSS here in OOC, please

Hey both My selections won.


Alright so, Chessboard stuff has now become a major facet of the world. Though I do like the Swamp locales.

I'm glad the Half-Orcs won, since some life in the Mines were appropriate.


And I dont mind If Hapits ride the Lizards it sounds appropriate, racing is something fun after all.

Hmm, I'm just happy that some of my stuff got added in, but not just one, two of them. Nice! Also, thanks, the Half-orcs where my idea.

Anyways, I was thinking on the lines that the Cage-folk's ancestors shunned the laws of their former province cause their outlaws and made a new one. They also provide safety to those caste that leave the Monarchy, since they too oppose the Monarchy's regime. They also have an open economical warfare to anyone with a Smokeweed business. All smokeweeds belong to the Cage, no one else.

The 2 I voted for 3 pts were The Uglolla, and Night City.

Interesting. Seems the west is the more densely populated, specifically the swamp.

Might be easier to know about relationships with the chessboard once we know more about it.

EDIT: were you going to copy/paste the descriptions again?

It should be noted that Hapid is noted to having cities. While say the Frog monarchy only has one. This does mean that densely populated may just mean more of different folk then just more folk period.

Same with the Cage-Folk, and the Uglolla aren't building major cities anytime soon.

Three cultures in one smallish area versus one culture spread out over a vast area. The Sandstone desert was noted as being quite large.

I am not assuming the swamp is that big really. Could be.

Meh, still, interesting mishmash.

I look forward to the next round.

I'm going to be honest I didn't realize it was density, not totality even though I said density. It is very likely habits are spread out over a vast area while it is likely the swamp is more densely populated.

No worries at all. Words can be hard sometimes. Hell, I teach English and I trip over them constantly.

Okay SO:

--Hapids now ride Giant Blue lizards around the desert. When one gets too sleepy, it just crawls off to a cave and starts sleeping again (usually after it's delivered one to a safe-enough location). One can wake them up with the right floral scents, but it's diminishing returns (with the same lizard).

--Frogs sometimes escape their monarchy and emigrate to the Chessboard Village? Whereas the Cagers came from the Chessboard Village long ago and have bad memories of it? Right?

--PLUS the Cagers have economic/cultural hostility toward anyone else who cultivates smokeweed? Right?

--I am, in fact, visualizing the swamp is large... probably not as large as the desert, but large.

--Having said that, I think Xadir is right-- there could be just as many Hapid as there are Cagers or Frogs-- more, even-- just spread out more widely, too.

--(Daryus: At first I didn't know what you meant, but yeah, I see, you mean in the Canon thread. Yeah, I'll clean that up and put the official descriptions once we're done discussing Round Three.)

So... anything else we need to discuss regarding Round Three? Like, any of the above...?

If I understood the cultures well, the Cage would also be in the swamps and it usually covered by smoke from smokeweed...

If so, it would be more logical for the Frogs taht flee the Morchy to run for the Cage ,as this smke would, as per its definition, avoid the Law Mages of the Monarchy to go for them, as it i nterferes with their magic (when not outright poisenous to them)...

Hm. Any thoughts on this, World's? Xadir?
