Let's create a setting.
« on: February 27, 2014, 02:42:04 am »

Inspiration.
So, let's see what B12 can come up with.

The idea is to create a complete setting. (As in, for a story)
One post at a time.
No leapfrogging.
Nothing which contradicts someone else, or is completely asinine.



> The land is broken into multiple tiny islands.


AWESOME STUFF:

Datadump- the story so far.

Credit and thanks to the above mentioned.

These islands evolved into existence from volcanoes.

These islands evolved into existence from volcanoes.

...volcanos that were home to an intelligent species of lava squid.

Instead of by water, the islands are separated by seas of dense fog of composed of floating material expulsed by volcanoes long ago, before the volcanoes had gone dormant.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Giant sea(ash?) creatures inhabit the oceans beyond the islands.  They're worshipped as gods on the outer islands.

There is a species of Ash-jellyfish which have evolved from the more intelligent volcano-borne squid, and use heat-pouches in order to swim through the Ash-sea (Seafog?).

The volcanic birth of this land gave rise to a spectacularly poisonous atmosphere, not unlike that of Venus.

The sapient races include the aforementioned squids and jellyfish, maggot-men that are ruled over by a singular Lord, a type of humanoid mold that has a hive mind, and (because somebody would mention that eventually), dwarves.

The jellyfish are actually alien space wizards from another dimension. They are on the run from an undead plague.

Or maybe not, if this is serious.

The jellyfish are actually aliens from another dimension. They entered this dimension when the volcano tore a hole in spacetime.

Rumours speak of a truly titanic species which slumbers deep beneath the lava..

Some even believe the entire world to be located on the back of one particularly large specimen of said species. They dread the day it would wake up and just shrug off the entire thing.

How about this: they evolved from the squids, but in that other dimension. Having lost hope  to save their world, they shifted into the current one and started working on preventing the plague, should it happen here as well.

There is also a race of trees, but they aren't really considered sapient, only vaguely sentient. Their boughs create a barrier against the poisonous atmosphere, creating sweet habitable air inside.
This is a method of hunting.
They are carnivorous.

A religion dedicated to nullifying this threat flourishes actively among the mortal sentient species on this land.

The humanoid hivemind mould have long harboured grudges against these trees for swallowing too many of their kin.
