Best Of

I forget about the recognise command waaaay too often.

Raves for @Gurashi and @Sotsepmet such fun and different rp to be had today, I don't think I've rp'd so much in years.

Another question! How tall do you imagine your characters to be? I know Czixi is about 4-5 feet tall, and Shofet-Mysrai is about that height also.

You can also put me in the camp of those who assumed that Elders were of superhuman and/or mutable size, with even the short ones still being larger than an average mortal (See: Meridian being a threat the Soulless while still being able to pass as a mortal). As far as Thax goes, I've always imagined him as massive and hulking, the Gregor Clegane of the surviving pantheon. But if you ascribe to the changeable size theory, that now that raises questions...can Thax still alter his size? Is zingavium capable of changing size too, or is it immutable? Is he stuck in massive form, or small form, or what? Hmm...

OR!

...

Thax's armor was crafted by Clangorum and amended by Agamemnon, two deities whose splinters are known for being in a very specific size category... is it possible the armour was made in their image?

(No, but the thought of diminutive Thax made me laugh too much not to share it with you all)

...Does this make me a very tall cleric supporting small tanks?

As for height, am I the only one who imagine Elders as towering above mortals? Pfft, why would we share their puny height? (If everyone else is mortal-size though, Lantra would likely be over 6ft. I imagine her as a tall lady!)

Not at all! This is why Czixi (and other short Elders) throws me off so much. I picture Elders being 7-8 feet tall. Maybe 6ft on a short side. But to see an elder that is tiny just looks odd. I can't help but think 'why are you short. Did something go wrong in the past.'

Here's a fun behind the scenes tidbit: The fae language does have its own set of documented linguistic rules that admin follow for consistency, and we do keep track of our existing fae vocabulary. I'm not as versed on fae as other members of the Havens, so I'll turn to admin like @Viravain or @Nocht for when I have a question on how something should be phrased in fae.

As for height, am I the only one who imagine Elders as towering above mortals? Pfft, why would we share their puny height? (If everyone else is mortal-size though, Lantra would likely be over 6ft. I imagine her as a tall lady!)
