《The soul will tell》Map & simplified game knowledge
Advertisement
Hi!
I said that I was going to post a bigger map for those that were interested, and as I'm currently taking a small break from studying, I thought why not now?
So here is the map! (The mortal one. Other maps will come later in the story)
I'm also posting important tables/info that are present throughout the fiction, but that you may find here. Rather than search through the text for them, you'd just have to come here.... (it's also simplified a little bit, less description AKA more to the point)
I also asked a friend of mine who's in art school to draw the main characters, but it's still a project and she's rather busy... but one day maybe! ^^
******************************************************************
CONTEXT:
The players are referred to as 'plane-shifters' by the natives of Situm. Why? Because the legend says that they have the power to freely shift here (Situm) from their original plane Dathum,.
When the 'shifters' first appeared in Situm, the legends were proved right
>> This is how the game explains the apparition of the players
The legend also says that the shifters may rank-up.... which is impossible for the natives who can only grade-up
It makes of the shifters a new existence with amazing potential that may put an end to the cold war (break the stalemate)
................
Continental map (mortal continent)
The central area is dominated by 2 great empires: they lead a peculiar cold war in which the rest of the area is more or less involved.
As the Strategos empire is under the aegis of order, Welram is aligned with Chaos. Those unfriendly states are only separated by the flowing waters of the Tear river.
Chaotic side:
- Welram Empire
- United Dakistee states:
- Free Amara
- Imdalin
Order Side:
- Strategos Empire

Path of the Stonebreaker
Femira spent her life stealing scraps and looting corpses just to survive another day. When she stumbles upon the chance to steal another's identity, she thinks she's found the ticket to an easy life. But she soon finds the glamour of the runewielder's hall hides as much peril as the bloodslick streets. Can she steal the greatest prize of all, the knowledge to reshape the earth, and make it out alive? Abandoned by his abusive father at the far reaches of the world, Daegan may not have the powers of his ancestors but he refuses to die in banishment. Will he make it back home in time to prevent a brewing war? ------------------- This is a gritty drama-driven, rambling tale that presents mysteries early on that the characters work to unravel throughout the story. It swings between action, drama, and sometimes some darker comedy. Warning: A whole lot of profanity, alcohol, drugs, implied violence, actual violence and mega-violence—the kind that involves knives sliding into eye sockets and brains spilling onto floors—the usual stuff, scenes of intimacy, mercenaries, pirates, lots of moral ambiguity, including a wizard that likes to make tea with the heat sucked from his victim's bodies and a heap of world-ending monsters ready to eat people. _______________ Expectations: Updates every Monday and Thursday. Chapters will be between 2,000 and 5,000 words. I'm Irish and write in "Irish English" which is to say that I don't use much of the letter "z"
