Update 6.28.08

Posted by knightvision on June 28, 2008

The past few days I’ve been working on several organizations and the new hex maps. This morning if finished the Blades of Judgment. This secret militant order of the Praxian church was once the greatest order within the church. However their greed and departure from church doctrine had them banned from church functions and their charter was revoked. They still live on and recently have started to thrive again in public as bodyguards for the very clergy that originally banned them.

Update 6.24.08

For the past few days I’ve been working on my new maps and they are looking good. I wanted to get started on some in depth write-ups for the various human races. Tonight I finished the first draft, here’s a quick glance at the Ibriy.

Ibriy

Main occupations
Caravansaries, merchants, riverboat tenders, traders, and money changers

Human
Their
skin color ranges in the tan to olive shades and hair tends to be black
or dark brown, and curly hair is most common. Their eyes are most often
brown, gray or hazel, but blue or green eyes are not unusual The Ibriy are wiry and short, with males averaging about 5′ 6″, but they
are exceptionally strong for their build.
Society
The
Ibriy earn their living primarily through transportation of
goods,passengers, exchanging money and selling horses and other beasts
of burden. They are mostly nomadic in nature, though more and more are
settling down in urban areas.

I’ve been looking at some web 2.0 stuff for my website. I came across a site called plugoo They came up with a way to put your instant messenger program on your website without letting the person on the other end know your screen name. It’s pretty cool.

I also started working on some hex maps for Ebonyr. I wanted to go with a concise and clear mapping system and this is the easiest to use by far.

I’ve been still plugging away at the website. I’ve revamped some religions. Most of the humans will monotheistic in nature. The main religions I developed are:

The Unity Church
The Church of the All Father
The Holy Faith of Naveed

I working on the Hanjuism and Hashem religions.

I hoping to have most of the religions done by the end of June and then I’ll start the final drafts on the races.

It’s a tough job creating a world!
