Primeval - Clash of Civilizations

[Magnus Pym]

[ic=Kratas]The sighting of one of these is a rare occurrence, to be sure. Hiding deep within the bright flats of the desert, they only come out to meet the sun, it is said, each thousand years. For long they have been the stuff of legends, their bipedal immensity (About 200 feet in height), rock-solid skin, sharp claws and fangs and empty yellow eyes striking fear into the hearts of men.

Legend also has it that if the Sun-God wills it, he may abstain from smiting down these invincible titans and let them run rampant to punish mankind for their misdeeds.[/ic]

[ooc=Additions/Modifications]Changed the landmass' size from 600 000 km2 to 4 500 000 km2.
Changed the Arachnokos description to be in line with the new changes to Wisparia, whose name has been changed to Padassos.
Added the Kratas to the Bestiary.[/ooc]

[Ghostman]

Do all the kratas emerge at the same time, or is it supposed that each group or even individual might follow it's own millennial cycle?

[Humabout]

Do the kratas embody any particular natural force or disaster?

[Magnus Pym]

[ooc=Answers]Good questions guys.
Ghostman. They would all emerge at about the same time. In desertfolk legends, the sighting of one means dark times lie ahead, and better pray the Sun-God for mercy.
Humabout, no. Really, they are just monsters. However their size and the extended length between their awakening leaves much to the imagination of the superstitious people of Primeval.

Maybe it's important to note that there aren't many Kratas. I didn't exactly set the number yet, but right now, I'm thinking about 4-6. Not more, not less. And I'm not sure if I want this specific creature to have reproductive organs or even capabilities, I'm still unsure how they are meant to be made. I'll leave that for later.[/ooc]

[Ghostman]

Beings of that caliber don't really need to conform to any sensible rules of biology or ecology. They could well and just have existed as long as the universe itself, or be born from fallen stars, or literally be the severed fingers of an immense god-avatar that were cut off it's hand in a mythic event.

[Magnus Pym]

Cool ideas Ghostman :)

[ooc=Edit]I edited the text for The Padassian War to remove unnecessary fluff and instead lay the groundwork for the story of how the Padassians became ghosts. To this effect I also changed the title of the story from The Padassian War to The Padassian Disaster. This is only the first part, I shall complete the second part soon enough and finally be done with this important story and then move on to other stuff.

The text can be read on the first page, below the story of Jamibia the god-king.[/ooc]

[ooc=Work done]Finished The Padassian Disaster story in two parts. Enjoy![/ooc]

[Ghostman]

It's a good story, but I think you should have kept at least a short summary of the war itself.

[Magnus Pym]

Ok, I'm gonna think of something.

[Magnus Pym]

[ooc=The Padassian War]After Ghostman's "request", I included a short story of the war on padassos that brought the Disaster.

Enjoy![/ooc]
