    Help with an active pantheon of gods, but multiple religions?

    I was intending for the elven god to be nonexistent. but the idea of him being one of the fallen gods trying to gain power again would be interesting, since one is buried in their desert. As for the gnomes, that is a good point. They're culture is all about the pursuit of knowledge, both through...

    High Fantasy Creatures/Races

    In my current work i have a race that lives in the jungle, they have three fingers and a thumb on each hand, scaled blue skin, four eyes that are capable of switching between normal sight and thermal, small horns, and a tail that splits into two fully functional independent tails that they use...

    Help with an active pantheon of gods, but multiple religions?

    So, in the story I'm working on building, there's an active pantheon of gods. originally sixteen, but now nine. a huge part of the plot being driven by the seven who rebelled and unleashed demons and plague upon the world and are now imprisoned across the world where they can't do any more harm...

    greek mythology/ the titanomachy

    Yeah demeter hera and aphrodite were born at that time. Apollo, artemis, and dionysus were born to mortals so they couldn't have been there since mortals weren't around. Not sure about hephastus. I'm not sure if the ares and athena thing was right though.

    greek mythology/ the titanomachy

    So I'm starting work on a new project with a modernizing of greek mythology, specifically the war between the titans and olympians. Since the titanomachy is lost (I personally choose to blame the alexandrians for not protecting their library better lol) the best I've been able to get research...

    scene names in writing software

    So basically the scene title is whatever works best to remind you what's going on without reading it all. Awesome, ok. thanks!

    scene names in writing software

    The software I'm ussing has chapter naming too, but it let's you break down the chapter into individual scenes within the chapter and asks for names for those as well. Which I have no idea how to name lol

    scene names in writing software

    Not sure if this is the right area for this, so here goes lol. I recently got writeitnow and was moving my WiP over from word. I'm stumped as to what the purpose of titling a scene should be. I get that its to differentiate but how do you guys and gals go about naming scenes? Thanks!

    Damascus steel

    This. The only thing I remember reading that we know of it is they used a special type of steel and used plants and leaves in the smithing process. But otherwise the exact method of crafting it was lost. But anyway, those are all some really good ideas as far as naming it. Thanks!

    Damascus steel

    How would you describe this or what would you call it in a fantasy world? I have a culture I'm making and I want to use damascus steel for their swords because of the desert/middle eastern feel I'm going for. Any ideas? Name it after the race/culture that uses it or what?

    Your longest serving character?

    My longest running character is Johnathan Frostblade, who was the prince of a small human kingdom in his own story, before enlisting into an organization dedicated to maintaining peace throughout the kingdom, and his story explored a group of countries that opened a portal to hell and released...

    question for anyone who dives / swims

    I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly but I remember hearing the different heights of diving into an ocean. Anything below 50ft is fine, after that it hurts like hell. 80-90 causes broken bones and internal damage. Anything greater causes death.

    Is it a good thing or a bad thing to completely create something from scratch?

    In my opinion its all about your own vision. The only time I think its not ok to use your own creations is when the races are just a rename of something else. If you're going to call a creature that's willowy, pointed ears, the height of elegance, and follows all the normal deffinitions of...

    expensive collections??

    There's a thought. Hadn't considered putting monks in. And then he would potentially not be selling powerful relics to political enemies.

    expensive collections??

    I donno why I was thinking a collection, just did. Though I see how a few more priceless relics or something would be worth more and work better. Now to come up with some nice relics. And who to sell them to. Hmmm...
