World creation story (+ magic)
hello everybody,
i'm currently making a campaign and the "background" of the story needed some deeper justification so i came up with an story/explanation that describes the creation of iridia (i remembered like the name of the world had a Y somewhere in English but i just read it in the Spanish translation and that's how its spelled), as well as the rest of reality, its an attempt to "tie-in" everything cannon that i have read and can remember so far, including the magic, the relationship between life and death, the clear power within the spiritual rituals and beliefs of different cultures(including the elves and the faerie), and the beginning and end of the universe(or at least its potential fate).
this is the story/explanation ill be using in my campaign( im kinda proud of it) and i hope others can enjoy it, or even use it for their own stories and campaigns, id be really glad if this got implemented on mainline, but right now i just hope it can spark some discussion on the forums(even though i feel sort of satisfied with it, im gonna call it a "work in progress" and i ask for your guys's opinion on it, i probably missed something, or it might not make enough sense or be interesting enough, so... any constructive comment, suggestion or criticism is much appreciated .), oh and just in case anybody is worried; this uses no religious allegories from the real world, and imho has far less of a religious undertone that UTBS does(not saying its a "religious" campaign but it does play a lot with the concept of religion)
ok, here it goes:
