Welcome to Banished Quest!
You take the role of a young mage labeled a criminal by his people and cast out into the wider world. In the last thread you wiped out the last of the void creatures and got accused of being a filthy degenerate.
It is currently the 20th of Svarthi, in the year 936 NH.

After you healed the boy your life became a flurry of activity. Once you'd gotten him back to your brother's palace you had to stave off the constant advances of your brother's slaves, waiting eagerly for the boy to awaken. When finally he opened his eyes for the first time since he fell on the battlefield he muttered only vagaries of a beautiful woman's voice calling to him, muttering insensate before collapsing back onto the bed and falling asleep once more.
Simultaneously disappointed and curious, you allowed yourself to be dragged away by your brother's giggling servants. Much to Chryssa's obvious discomfort, though none of your other companions seemed to care. You remained distracted by your thoughts regarding your subject, or patient rather, even as they laid you out on a padded table made of the finest Elaudian wood, polished to a shine. The heavy scent of incense and opium did little to settle your nerves, and though the head girl in particular seemed a skilled masseuse you felt no more relaxed when four hours later Darzi's voice, heavy with melancholy, intruded upon a rather pleasant bath.
You dressed quickly, in little else besides your loose-fitting silk pants and the light robes you wear underneath your other clothing, and rushed up to the bedroom which you'd relegated the boy to. He sat there in a padded aketon, covered in dried blood, ravenously consuming a plate of rose water rice and herb-crusted lamb. Over the course of a lengthy interrogation you learned that he remembered not his name, his family, his friends, nor his home.
He remembered your language well and seemed to have a loose grasp on the customs of your people, his ignorance excusable by humble origins, but for all intents and purposes whoever he was before you brought him back was gone. He was born anew, a blank slate.
(1/9, buckle your anus.)
By no stretch of the imagination could you have called the results desirable. Sure he was alive, but there was essentially nothing of his old self left. He would occasionally experience brief moments of revelation upon exposure to something he was likely familiar with previously, but there was no context to frame why he enjoyed something, or knew some tidbit of information. You resolved to keep him as a guest in your brother's palace, under your protection, until you could figure out what to do with him.
After your experiences with the boy, the next day you resolved to meditate upon the nature of your own soul. You had hoped to glean some insight into the nature of souls and their function. It took some doing, but eventually you found a secluded area of the courtyard where you could meditate in peace. Thus, beneath the boughs of an ancient fig tree, you allowed yourself to sink into a trance.
Stripping the outer shell of your divine core proved a surprisingly relaxing task. You noted with no small amount of curiosity that the shell was of a different color than usual. Rather than a brilliant gleaming gold, it seemed almost dull. Like the luster had been drained from your soul. You also found the golden mantle far more uniform in density than in your previous efforts to erode it away and reach the shard at its center. It took much longer for your magic to eat through the strange substance than the last time you tried this meditation, and there were no 'soft' points either.
Upon finally reaching the core you did not find some ragged stone crust surrounding that piece of the gods which grants you life, but a carapace of dull black metal. You poked and prodded the substance, briefly lamenting that you've yet to conceive of terms for the various layers of the soul, before ultimately finding it inert. Your Earth magic did not erode so much as a dent, no matter how forcefully you plied your vys.
(2/9)
Only then did it occur to you that your memories remained intact. You did not forget anything of major import, though there were many minor gaps in your recollection of the last few months you could well attribute to the natural fading of memory. A thought occurred to you, perhaps the hard stone cage which once encased your soul's core was composed of those memories you hold most dear? By reinforcing it, and by increasing your prowess with Metal magic, you have built up that shell, filling in the gaps using new memories.
It's an interesting theory, and one which seemed to hold more than a grain of truth. Looking back on it, the mantle of your soul had indeed seemed thinner than in your previous attempts, despite being denser all around.
Regardless, it was at that point you ceased your endless pondering and finally began your meditation in earnest. The task of reinforcing the shell was a simple one, and in no time at all the dull metal had given way to brilliant gold. So bright you felt nearly blinded by its brilliance.
At the conclusion of your meditation you did not faint, as you had in prior attempts. While unbelievably weary you felt well enough to dine with your brother and his wife. You'd heard of her in a vague sense, the daughter of a Marzban in service of Satrap al-Latif of Marqash. Her father was Maalik Najem, known as the Two-Blooded in honor of his Samrajyan father. The stories surrounding his birth have become a sort of folk legend.

Tell me of the most memorable magical realms you have traversed, /tg/.
I personally had to deal with a few traps too many in my most recent venture. And not the ones you find in a dungeon.

How many of you guys only let your players play as humans, or have no demi-humans in your settings?
>>43465807
I've considered it.
It seems like it might encourage more character variety and force people to rely on backgrounds rather than races.
I'd especially look into it for a space opera, as an alternative to the green-skinned alien babes.
Humanity might be alone in the galaxy, and that might not be a bad thing.
>>43465807
In my Sci-Fi setting you can only play as humans, though their are other races.
Also what defines "human" is basically just point of origin and perspective. Body modification has gone pretty far.
>>43465893
this
I just feel people only do non humans for stat bonuses.
not saying your elf can't be more than a Legolas rip off, its just those characters are far and few between Schemegolas elf rangers
Both in terms of fluff and tabletop rules, who is the biggest badass in the Imperium?
>>43465571
The Red Wake.
>>43465628
I see what you did there
Who tends to have better relations and more likely to form alliances (temporary or otherwise)?
The Empire and the Elves, or the Imperium and the Eldar?
>>43465486
Empire and the Elves.
>>43465486
Empire and HIGH Elves specifically. I doubt they get along with Wood Elves or Dark Elves.
Considering the High Elves were the ones who taught humans how to do magic, and Teclis has been invited to the Imperial Court numerous times, as well as them having allied for several wars, I don't even think there's a question.
Hell, even the Wood Elves are kind-of sort-of sometimes allied with the Bretonnians in a sneaky, underhanded and manipulative sort of way.
You have to remember that PURGE THE ALIEN and ABHOR THE WITCH isn't as much of a thing in WHFB (even if there are Witch Hunters).

>>43465067
That's not a grate joke.
>>43465067
Why not? Why add dex damage to bows instead of strength? Why allow STR bonus to hit which anything when accuracy is traditionally represented with dex? Why is there magic?
The answer is go fuck yourself you picky little shit.
>>43465134
Kind of grates on me, to be honest.
Can we talk about armor for a while?
In this game, this character has a helmet until a certain point in the game, and what seemed to be the helmet's red ornament/plume turned out to be her ponytail poking out of a hole in the helmet.
In terms of realism or at least common sense, would it hinder her in any way in battle? I wanted to add something similar to this to my knights.
Main concern would be enemies pulling it or it getting in the way or field of vision, but I wouldn't know.
Sure, why not? Its your game/story.
>In terms of realism or at least common sense,
You already abandoned that. Why bring back the chains you threw away?
>>43464948
Dam Undyne is much more sexy in her armor.

You need more than one good/okay card to make a whole color worth it. Face it, white is pretty trash tier in modern. The only good cards it has is path and good sideboard options, far cry from "must play color" like red.
I'm designing a new character, and I was wondering if /tg/ wanted in on the fun.
My character is an elderly grandmother, a Favored Soul Sorcerer of Freya. She's 72, and after a long life, she's decided to go on an adventure for her retirement.
One of her qualities? She had a LOT of children and Grand children. And I want some help thinking of them all! So make a vague character and it will undoubtedly be in our gameEven if it is only in those dull moments when she decides to tell stories about how proud she is of her children.
>>43464160
Reference chart. She is a human and all her kids are between 52 and 19.
What I have so far
>Eldest Daughter, 52, Half-Stone Giant. Runs a bandit encampment in the north.
>Eldest Son, 51, Half-Stone Giant. Went to a rich country across the sea and is learning how to be a gourmet chef.
Are you making Jessica Fletcher?

>Youngest Son 22, Pure human , Has a wife and 3 children, Has a farm and 3 extra workers to make more of a crop. A bit dim but a hard worker and built like a rock. Outside one of the big cities. Willing to let party sleep in the barn if ma vouches for them.
>Wife 24 a bit thick but in all the right places, does her fair share of farm work, but children don't raise themselves.
