Shards of Power [Returned, Revised and Improved]

[DarkKnight]

Ok, good luck .

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Due to my own stupidy the site was up but wasn't running properly. I will upload it fryday now -,-

 

[DarkKnight]

Ok don't worry. You also got to think of your real life^^

 

[The_wand_mirror]

As you may have noticed by my signature the site is now online and working normal. you can visit it by clicking on the (current) logo in my sig or just typing the address: www.shardsofpower.nl.ae

 

[DarkKnight]

Or clicking the link in your post XD I'll read it tomorrow, now I'm... short of time.

Edit: Ok, I'm checking it now, the links of the maps aren't working though... were are the characters for? as for instances, it looks like you're discribing a game. Items also looks like a game, so this is for a book/books? cool.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

you might want to read the home page more clearly everything (instance and items is explained in there) and also there is a clear description under the links to the maps that says ''(Links not linked to pictures yet, give me uploading suggestions!)''

 

[DarkKnight]

Well, you've got me, I haven't read everything XD just checked out your site in rocket speed. sorry.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I have,I left a msg in the quest book

It is pretty interesting,captivating and you can spend some time reading and relaxing at the same time.

Wand none theless you done a good job.Im fully impressed

 

[DarkKnight]

Do you know how to know if you have created a succesfull world? If other people will make other stuff dedicated to it, and how you know it's a original world? People will go like WTF for it, I surely hope for you it's one of both, espesially the first one.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well,they treated WoW with adoration,why?

Dk you dont know,but Blizz nearly got broke,if it wasnt for Warcraft,there wouldnt be anymore SC 2 and WoW

 

[DarkKnight]

Warcraft just has a special, original touch to it, altrough it isn't Purely original, meaning, people will try it, becouse it's new, yet, familiar, Wow is treaded with adoration becouse people can interact with eachother on a game, and blizzard has 'studied' gamers behavure and what they want for a long time, and then they came to the conclusion of making an mmorpg, but instead of other mmorpgs, they made this one based on what they've learned, just like the people of the Renaissance project are doing now (watch my signature) they've learned that level grinding is not what people want, and they are now developing a game wich would, if also completed, shake the mmorpg world on it's base.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I still have a lot do at the site, but the exams are coming up and i have to practice. Sure when i pass i will have a veeeery long holiday because school stops sooner than normal when you're in 4th grade here so.. Anyways i will try to work then and not now.. although i will also attempt to make some minor changes.

And now to announce the middle eastern continent (The Third yes), here is the map of Thelanoris also named 'The Other Side'.

 

[DarkKnight]

With middle easter, you mean it's just around the middle of the world and a bit to the east and not like: Desert, oil, cavalry and such stuff? (Oh and people with towels on their head, and maby some Achmed's (dead terrorists XD))

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Nono ^^

I just mean its in the middle and then to the east =p

Achmed is fun btw =p

There are small parts of thelanoris on the northern (right under) and southern (right above) continent maps

 

[NearbyHermit]

Sweet paint made map

 

[DarkKnight]

Uuhm, you could then just call it East XD, btw, is there also a continent on your world wich is connected to another continent (by land)

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Sweet paint made map

Theres no other way i can picture my world =p

Uuhm, you could then just call it East XD, btw, is there also a continent on your world wich is connected to another continent (by land)

East...

There isn't a continent connected to another by land.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hehe,cant you draw your map?

I drawn the WoW Azeroth Map .And I play with it all the time,I mark myself with a small dot,its more fun this way.

 

[DarkKnight]

I have drawn my maps just with pen and paper, then I scanned them ^^.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Thats the normal process in cartography
Hand made,computer scanning and computer editing

 

[DarkKnight]

Or, (if in reality, this time) take a picture from above (or multiple) scan it(them) and then edit it (them)

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hmm this sounds like an awesome tutorial about cartography

 

[DarkKnight]

I'm just trying to help, don't expect too much ^^

 

[NearbyHermit]

But one thing,never heard of more updates on SoP,hey Wandy.

I sudgest you make a map or a campaign about it,introduce us to your world.

 

[DarkKnight]

That would be cool ^^.

 

[NearbyHermit]

It will be,but as I see,he isnt keeping the project up to date.

 

[DarkKnight]

Didn't he say something about that a while ago?

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Euhm? Exams coming up in about 2 weeks? Learning much? Not much free time so i play games while i can? =p

I'll try to get to it in the weekends but i prefer gaming now instead of working on my story again. Btw read my sig now =p

Yeah, i don't know what i want xD

And no. i already said i don't want it to be a War3 map

A few pointers you must remember: proofread your work after you finish typing it up. Run it through word and use the spellchecker if you need to. That's basically it. This technique is useful for people who have problems with English, one of the toughest languages to learn. Oh, and if this is going into a map, DEFINITELY run it through the spellchecker. I mean it.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Wandy,good luck.You are going to need it.My exams are comming in a month

I suck at grammar, and i don't wanna learn it either actually =p

 

[NearbyHermit]

Then you will break down on the gram test?

 

[DarkKnight]

I don't think English is hard, but, if you make an mistake in grammar, other people should note you about it, it helped me get some mistakes out of my writing XD

 

[NearbyHermit]

Indeed,I'm going to the letter school,in wich I learn about old-new languages,it is hard,you have to know at least 3 foreign languages.

 

[DarkKnight]

I'm (kinda) learning japanese XD (Watching maby a bit too much anime =/)

 

[NearbyHermit]

I have something for you

[The_wand_mirror]

I've been working on information about the middle continent Thelanoris. You want me to post everything seperate or just when i finished a whole lot and post everything at once?

 

[DarkKnight]

Your choice (altrough it would be cool if you posted everything seperate and at the end combined everything ^^)

 

[The_wand_mirror]

lol, i was asking for your opinion and you say its my choice >.< just choose =p

And i don't think its a good idea to do that because there are changes sometimes because of my own mistakes or things that are just totally stupid and i need to change =p

 

[DarkKnight]

That's why there would be an 'end-product' First you have all kinds of things, (People could give opinions) and then you can later on change them.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Some information about the new continent

Well there are quite some new lands in the middle continent and also there are many new special locations. It will also bring 3 new races but they won't be joining any of the factions. They also won't be joining the neutral faction because its not of any benefit for them. They are on a whole new continent and 2 of the three races is not even that intelligent. So the three new ones are:

Apemom: Some hybrid of humans and apes, they have high intelligence.
Skarlj: Batlike creatures. (Look like gargoyles from war 3)
Narlkhs: Humanoids with hedgehog-like spikes all over they're body.

And well.. like 12+ new countries and all with they're special locations..

 

[DarkKnight]

Loads of hybrids in your world (dirty humans... I knew this animal sexs thing was growing out of hand...)

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Well that's because Maghor (The demon leader of the Maghonian order) was messing with nature and experimenting with DNA. Because he possessed universal magic he could create creatures by mixing different species. most of them were destroyed, but some of them managed to escape and flee to the outskirts of Deimosh (The world).

As for the other creatures, they were actually the rightfull owners of the planet.The Ancients created them with the use to experiment with live and they're powers. When they heard they had to destroy they're creation they picked out Deimosh and tried to make a stand. Thats how Renmei came to there, they are lesser copies of the Ancients (Gods). So they aint a normal specy, they are there by no choice nor they have been created as part of the plan.

 

[DarkKnight]

Did you just made that up or did you already plan that in advance?

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Rofl, its partly made up. I already told you that the Vruug were Renmei mixed with Demon DNA did i? Well.. if not, i already made that up a while ago. As for the other demons, demons are the servants of Maghor and the servants of the Lords of the universe. So the only races that aint hybrids are the neutral and hostile creatures found in Deimosh and the demons themselves. The other races have all been created by manipulation of nature and experiments from Maghor.

But yeah, its partly made up.

 

[DarkKnight]

So uuhm, Humans are experiments? Woei XD

 

[The_wand_mirror]

No they are a race made in a hurry. the Acients had to secure they're creations so they just created lesser copies of themselves which they called Renmei (Actually Human is a swear word used by demons in SoP xD)

 

[DarkKnight]

Well, if you say Human in Kumai, they will all look at you with a questioning face, and if you say Race, they'll all beat you to death (and on some occasions electricute you XD)

 

[The_wand_mirror]

lol, how are your wars?? small scaled or big scaled? and are they bloody? (I imagine mine veery gory lol like the intro of Warhammer 40.000 but then even more violent.)

 

[DarkKnight]

Well, in the Age of wars... there was an army that was called 'The Sea of Silver' (or something like that), it were a couple of million soldiers, they just cut straight through every army they encountered while just walking a bit slower than normal marching speed, in other words, everybody who's on the battlefield and is hostile, is as good as dead (the enemy were tribal men, but that doesn't matter) the feet of almost the half of the army were red after a battle, as they've just walked across the enemy corpses, behind this army there was almost a walking city, people with all sorts of proffessions followed the Army, this was becouse the army was very demanding, oh btw, altrough it was a pretty bloody war, they had respect for the dead and there was also a small army of people who burried the enemies bodies (or whatever they do in their culture XD)
