Hey Azzy! I'll read through this today and see if I can come up with anything on the Krean view. Of course, I still have to finish the third part of that Uri on Deci's entry too...

(If anyone wants to buy me a birthday present in May, a fully functional and educated clone would be most welcome!)

I might have a look later as well.

Quote
....are the realms of darkness and shadow believed in elven and human mythology to be located on the other side of the known physical world of Caelereth.
(Introduction)

Quote
..rest deep beneath the surface of Caelereth.  Many parts of the Netherworlds are said to consist of caverns located between the two sides of the complete Caelereth world, however, it is also told that there exists a barren surface on the other side, where the creatures of darkness dwell as if they were on the upper side.
(Location)

I think you should mention in the introduction already, that some think it is inside the disk.

And also mention somewhere, that 'others' (the Caelosophs) believe, that there are no demons there, but that in the core exists a piece of the void also, which surfaces at places like Ximax (the orb), maybe Ostemangar??, and soon I need it in the Rahaz-Dath also. Could be, that the Venlaken enclave would be such a place as well. Maybe people connect void effects with demons etc..


A difficult revision you have here! But you are doing well! thumbup

Haven't had the chance to finish reading the entry yet but something caught my eye. I cannot understand what the following sentences are trying to say:

Quote
There are those Ximaxian sages who claim that an actual visit to the Netherworlds could only be possible for a mighty wizard, whose imagination is so powerful that all the possibilities he works with in order to create spells can produce whole twisted worlds in his mind in case he is heavily influenced by other magical forces. These imaginations can be fostered by the mage's belief in myths.

Azzy, could you please help me with that? Thanks!  :D

Ok. That bit makes NO sense at all.

It would be impossible for a mage of any kind to simply imagine themselves in the Netherworld. That bit is saying that a wizard, fostered by his beliefs in myths, can "will" himself to other worlds, including the Nether.

As the entry progresses (as Talia says - not an easy challenge) it would be possible to open gates to the Netherworld (but who is to say it really is the Netherworld?). Or at least, the magic used to exist long ago but not anymore.

Other ways to the Netherworld, according to some beliefs, is death (ie humans). Physical manifestations of the Netherworld are believed to be the Mists of Osthemangar and Shadespell Gorge (ie the Shades caught in-between worlds). Those will be addressed as well.

No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith. And that, I fear, for any reasoning, conscious being, would be the cruelest trick of all.

This is not forgotten, just don't know when I will get around to finishing it.

*dusts off the drafts*

I am getting back to this one. I believe I can summarize the ideas into some kind of form.

I'm amazed you can see the Altario projects pile considering it is dwarfed by my unfinished projects. For which I apologise.
