Voromanti archaeologists with permission of Empress Kalea Qadira explore the ancient ruins of Ortiquaee and find the tomb of an ancient ruler, who seems to have had a need for one of them. The other two better not get too close to a mummy.

A year later and I think it's still one of the better ones I did.

Female Variant of the Crested Jaguar, a Creature I designed for my worldbuilding project in University of 2020, also a current encounter for my DnD Campaign project!

_''Crested Jaguars are a very large mammal from the genus ‘ Panthera’, named for their large fin-like crests either side of their necks and large rosettes covering most of their body. Some can say they resemble a large hybrid between a peacock and a leopard due to their colouration and feathered fan tail. Sexual Dimorphism in the sexes are extreme. Females are generally much smaller compared to the males, reaching 6ft at the shoulder. Their pelt colour is a selection of browns, faun and oranges, while their skull shape is more round and short compared to their male counterparts. The males are much larger and stockier than the females, at 8ft at the shoulder, their coats are generally a mix of blues, greens and orange, with a large peacock-like tail feather. A male’s coat colour is most likely used for attracting mates, though this is a theory as this species is very elusive and a live male has not been seen in person in about 100 years.


A Crested Jaguar’s limbs make it adept to climbing, crawling and swimming, their skulls are robust and the jaw extremely powerful, rumored to be able to pierce through even the strongest of armour, which makes these cats incredibly dangerous and deadly.

Their range is very limited in the valley of Roanoak, usually a large male will have a large territory with several females in. Arcgate ruins is said to be the home to a large male for years, the individual is so elusive it has been described as being mythical, a silly urban legend to tell at bedtime stories. However, evidence such as prints, claw marks and scat have been found, proving it is indeed real. Though no one has been brave enough to venture into the ruins.''

If you’re character is unlucky enough to fall upon, step on or accidentally grab one of these docile gastropods, and get punctured, and fail a type G hazard check, then you’re in trouble. While the neurotoxin doesn’t kill the victim, it does slow them to half speed and only allows them to act every second turn. In the ruins, that usually means death.

In the void, there was a god, he created all the universes then was destroyed by an unknown being... Then there was many group of gods formed from his remains...

They created more universes, including one which will born a race called the Tiariean.

In the developing process of the Tiariean civilization, they develop their own society differently than that of the early humankind... Everyone was equals from the start of their cradle of civilization, there were hardly any slaves except those that were criminals in forced labours... The Tiariean civilizations rarely go to war with each other, but the consequences were more devastating than humankind wars... To the point that there was really three different group of alliances that will never came together, they fights even when they are at peace, and it was them the reason that the first generations of Tiariean failed to achieve greater things that would make sure they reaches to the stars.

As time goes by, the later generations of their race rebuilt then the Second and the Third Great Tiariean War happens, until they are able to maintain a long enough peace to get to the point of early era of their own post Information Age, in the duration of their own development timeline of their first ever golden era, they starts developing AI earlier before our humankind did manage to do so... Eventually they manage to creates intelligent androids that can emulate human-like emotions and behavior, but the three different Tiariean alliances take on different approach when developing these machines, some just import the conciousness of their dead peoples or the living beings, other just make sentient chips that does not have imported organic consciousness but they claims are far more superior, while the remaining resort into merging organics and machines as one and creates some kind of cyborgs, but later on they found that cybernetics really doesn't work in their favor as the mechanical components malfunctions with the Tiariean's own antibodies and general immune systems as they are sensitive to foreign non-organic materials so they dish the initial concepts and find an alternate workaround to the problem, finally they thought about making artificial Tiariean fleshes rip off from their own genetical materials that were built in with biomechanic-technological neural framework integrations and this actually works for them in place of mechanical cybernetics...

The Tiariean society were barely unified under the works of the Flashanya, the Arhan, the Ristharia and a few more major families, it is them that keep the three rivaling Tiariean alliances from going into a war with each other again and cause another devastating war that has set back development of their civilization over thousand of years, until now they are able to get back into what their past civilization has achieved in their previous era before the First Great Tiariean War...

Through hard diplomacy and efforts, and the sudden alien invasion during late stage of the Third Great Tiariean War they had convinced the three different Tiariean alliances to unite and let go of their past hatred amongst each other reminding them of how the civilization development has been set back because of their narrow minded ancestors... However that doesn't stop indirect rivalry between the three of those alliances when they were welcomed to join the Unified Tiariean Council, and the families will have to works to maintain the balance of power between those three. The alien fleet was defeated but the Tiariean's homeworld was scattered in ruins of shipwrecks and their own cities.

Their civilization (with salvaged technology from the first alien invader's shipwrecks) was able to move forward to reach to the stars, what they didn't know will await them was an unknown invasion from a force that has similar destructive characteristics to the Dark Celestials after they met other aliens who also got invaded as well, eventually they found out that the race that had invaded them during their Third Great War was been exterminated by these unknown force they encountered yet the alien have managed to deliver and leave behind a box with a cryptic message but wasn't able to make sense most of their transmission and data except some kind of warning to "prepare for the unknown that devours all"... It seems the invasion fleet that they sent to the Tiariean's homeworld appears to be the last of their kind.

Then they decide to refits and update their AI regarding this unknown threat but their attempts to reweave their own AI creations to fight the unknown would also create inner conflicts within their territories and society, and that eventually bring them to the Fourth Great Tiariean War this time against their own creations fighting each other and they all have to defend themselves against the unknown at the same time...

August post

A bit of story here too:

Jahn who at the time was a Human found this broken arm band/artifact in some very very ancient ruins after hearing rumors of no one could find but may hold items of extreme value (A perfect opportunity for a skilled thief like himself ), the place was almost crumbled entirely but after some thorough searching found said artifact but it was heavily cracked & somehow still together.

So Jahn brought it back to his camp & after running a ton of magic checks to make sure it was safe he decided to put it on seeing as it was worthless for anything else, turns out there was somehow still some magic lingering in it & had activated.
The problem with this was due to how damaged it was the magic came out in a very manner resulting in it heating up & actually burning through his skin while simultaneously causing a painful transformation.
Jahn eventually passed out from the pain.

And this is what he woke up to, having a new form he would have to get used to eventually & a heavily burned & bleeding arm which thankfully isn't as painful anymore due to all the nerves being dead

The wheels are forever turning,

the fire never stops burning,

the headlight is ever gleaming.

the whistle is always screaming,


Its timetables haven’t been rationed

yet it stops at every station,

with nooses upon the telegraph poles,

making calls for departed souls,


an engine of ghastly fire and acrid smoke,

it ruins the ground, the air it chokes,

leaving a wake of coal and oil and flame;

soon a sea of ashen barrens and distant shame.


The engineer knows not where it’s going,

only that the train must keep flowing,

an iron fortress that cannot be subsumed;

an industrial evil that must consume.

" Woken from a long slumber, encased in stone, LiskNa finds herself in a world both vague and familiar. In an attempt to find and understand the fate of her kin she studies the history of a faded timeline. Traveling the realm seeking clues in the relics that remain. “

“ Sites once abundant with the culture and community of the ‘dragos now reduced to scant ruins and forgotten artifacts.LiskNa collects all that she can and documents their data in detailed notes ~all of which are cataloged in her home. She finds some comfort in their memory. ”

Ark-City - a utopia in middle of wasteland. Before civilization fell, a massive project was started to make cities to save at least some of population and civilization. Now it stands, among rusting ruins of metropolis, its dark ancestry. Outside of this city may be survivors, trying to survive wasteland, but citizens of Ark long for nothing, they live in near utopia...

Important features:
Hydrophonic towers produce food for citizens. Food is mostly plants but some meat is produced, both artifical and natural.
Water purification plant recycles wastewater as well as serves well to deep water sources.
High-speed railway connects to other Ark-Cities.
Tower based shield system purifies air from the worst contamination.
Old city district allows citizens to connect with old culture.
Industry sector allows city to remain mostly self sufficent, and if there is lack of something trade with other Ark-Cities and outside will solve this issue.

Alone, I live on,

Among the memories,

Within the ruins of yesterday,

I continue on, despite the pain.

We once lived a blissful fragile life,

Despite the danger,

And knowing that in a blink of an eye,

Everything could change.

Since the moment we met,

This once pitiable girl,

A bystander to fate,

Became something more.

Within the colors,

The fragments of memory,

Are the pieces you all left behind,

The ones who gave me my wings.

Adorned in colors,

Painting the once lonely white,

In vibrant burning light.

I’ll defy fate,

And end this wretched story,

The way we’ve always wanted.

Even if we are just particles of stardust,

In time’s great expanse,

Within this vast, lonely universe.

Hold me tight,

Gently swaddle me in warm light,

Within the memories we share.

I’ll hold them close within my heart,

Just as you once did me.

Stars implode as they die,

A brief moment of blinding light,

As they scatter life-giving dust.

Just as oceans become deserts,

And streams become rivers.

Life continues on.

Alone,

Among the memories,

Within the ruins of yesterday,

I continue on, despite the loneliness and pain.

I’ll tear down this broken system,

This flawed, sad future,

For the dream and the peace we once fought for.

I’ll defy fate,

And end this wretched story,

The way we’ve always wanted.

Petals scatter,

As seeds fall and bloom again,

Even as the world is scarred by war.

Since the moment we met,

This once pitiable girl,

A bystander to fate,

Became something more.

Within the colors,

The fragments of memory,

Are the pieces you all left behind,

The ones who gave me my wings.

Adorned in colors,

Painting the once lonely white,

In vibrant burning light.

A star, an angel was born.

Because of all of you,

The ones I hold dear to my heart.

Alone I may lose my way,

But your light still guides me home,

And into the light.

We once lived a blissful fragile life,

Despite the danger,

And knowing that in a blink of an eye,

Everything could change.

Yet, we still loved this broken world.

I still love this broken world.

As the years,

The centuries pass by,

I’ll continue on.

Even if we are just particles of stardust,

In time’s great expanse,

Within this vast, lonely universe.

Hold me tight,

Gently swaddle me in warm light,

Within the memories we share.

I’ll hold them close within my heart,

Just as you once did me,

Even as we said farewell.

Alone, I live on,

Among the memories,

Within the ruins of yesterday,

I continue on, despite all the pain I bear.

Since the moment we met,

This once pitiable girl,

A bystander to fate,

Became something more.

Within the colors,

The fragments of memory,

Are the pieces you all left behind,

The ones who gave me my wings.

A star, an angel was born.

Because of all of you,

The ones I hold dear to my heart.

Adorned in colors,

Painting the once lonely white,

In vibrant burning light.

I’ll defy fate,

And end this wretched story,

The way we’ve always wanted.

Even though you’re all gone,

Despite your deaths.

You are all still here,

My lights,

My guiding stars.

As the years,

The centuries pass by,

I’ll continue on.

Even if we are just particles of stardust,

A faint memory,

In time’s great expanse,

Within this vast, lonely universe.

We once called this earth home,

This beautifully flawed, broken world,

This earth you loved,

Is the place you all left behind.

Though alone, I’ll live on,

Among the memories,

Within the ruins of yesterday,

Despite my broken heart,

I’ll live on for you.

For this world,

I’ll become its guardian angel,

It’s guiding light, a star.

For all of you,

For me,

I’ll continue to live;
