The bones of a prehistoric world call out to the Oruhnian... and some answer the call.

Everything works slightly differently in Oruhne. What does that mean for ancestral tidepools? Well for starters, they're literal. As in, literally ancestral.

This week, we explore the nature of empathic magic and how it can create warm, inclusive communities... for a select few. Enjoy!

“Love will not be constrain'd by mastery...Love is a thing as any spirit free.”
Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales

It's been a long while since we did a god mill, so this week we decided to roll one up, with a caveat: what would this god be like in Oruhne? And what if they were exclusive to that continent alone?

This week, we investigate the Outriders further. What would a class breakdown for them look like? They can't all be rangers you know. They aren't a single kind of person, so this week we open their ranks to be explored. Enjoy!

"Next time you feel unqualified to be used by God remember this, he tends to recruit from the pit, not the pedestal."

- Someone with Troubling Theology

For a long time now the people of Oruhne have been used for purposes beyond themselves. They've grown used to it. Or at least, that's the common conception.

But not all feel this way. What about those who don't wish to ally themselves with the Wild Gods? What about the Shorn?

“Never forget what you are the rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour and it can never be used to hurt you.”
- George R.R. Martin

When a warrior spends a lifetime with a weapon, it's bound to take on certain aspects of their character. It reflects who they are. When an Oruhnian spends their life by a weapon, the imbuing is literal.

This week, we investigate what the implications of a weapon imbued becomes. How does it change the character of the weapon? Of the imbuer? Is the bond forced? Is it like marriage, or a friend you've always known? 

Or something else?

"Not all those who wander are lost."
- J.R.R. Tolkein

The wilderness is full. Full of adventure and danger and lessons. It will ground you, but also uplift you. And it will certainly endanger your life. This week we travel outside the walls of Haven and Hold to investigate Travel in the land of Oruhne.

"...All things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished..."
-Simon Peter, 2 Peter 3:4-5

Oruhne changes. Perhaps it was simply one continent, a rainforest. But what if it was more? If it's a land of wilds, what about the sea, and the shore? What about evergreens and deserts and tundras and mountains and flood plains? The face of Oruhne changes this week.

"Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair."
-Kindle the Light, Oath of the Ancients

It's time we had a *spiritual* talk: the kind that involves holy weapons, oaths to ancient nature gods, and a divided war between the Shorn and the Wilders. Simple, right? This week, we investigate the paladins of Oruhne, and imagine how such a class would operate in their lands.
