Title: Elves in the Sky!
Post by: SA on July 15, 2006, 11:32:36 PM
[ooc]It's exactly as the name implies, folks!  Our favourite ageless pointy-ears in floating cities above a sea of toxic filth.

The setting will be elf-centric, with a mild human presence and a few dispossessed dwarves dwelling in the wastelands.  No cliches here.

Coming soon...

You should read Vardeman's series about a sky city and the wars surrounding it. In his series the people occupying the city are ruled by an evil tyrant, but nevertheless he has some really cool ideas.

One of them I quite liked is that instead of cavalry the elite forces of the city ride giant eagles.

Why not make all other races mutations of elfdom, and all resentful of their pure cousins?

I can't wait to see this one, Salacious. Your stuff is always great, and the imagery evoked in my mind from "floating cities above a sea of toxic filth" says a ton, all of it good. When will we see the setting itself?

The elves rule everything AND no cliches?  I think you have to choose on or the other.

Haha, the "no cliches" bit was tongue in cheek.  I understand that, with the way I'm portraying the elves, there are bound to be cliches.

As for when you'll see the setting...

I have only the faintest idea.
