Elemental Charts

Relation To Alignment

Combinational Transformations

Implications

Since earth does not mix with anything, there is no mud.

What about senses? D + Air might be sound. Taste? Touch? Sight? Sound? Smell?

Fire is not fed by air nor doused by water. Nor does it give off smoke.

Wood neutralizes crystal, and vice versa.

Luminice neutralizes Coal, and vice versa.

Opposite elements attract. Make it a cube law.

So opposite elements can be used as: a) timepieces, b) warning devices, c) barriers, d) traps

Sight

Humans can see in Light and Void, but not Dark.

Demi-Humans can see in Light and Dark, but not Void.

Bad Guys can see in Void and Dark, but not Light.

Midgard Structure

Gods in center of planet. Midgard as body of Ymir.

People do not excrete waste when eating lardore.

All poisons are made from minerals. Animal poisons are rare and extremely nasty.

All languages are spoken. Only Norse Runes exist, and all races employ them. Mages know how to use these to create magic.

Caverns getting brighter as you descend (smattering of pressure activated luminice)

Take Oaths on weapons.

Must learn to start speaking swedish and Norse.

Large creatures should be spotted / presence should be felt on a session by session basis.

Frequency and occasions of divine sightings. Exclusively Norse mythos.

High level adventurers should take powerful magic items from low level guys.

Gate like doors (i.e. raise and lower, not side to side).

Waterfall. Frivafall (which becomes snow). Lavafall (which becomes steam).

Scrolls are written using runes.

Winchets, Distillates, Activations

Lakes are formed are with small pieces of True Earth nearby (which deactivates the coral), or water repulsive rocks, etc.

Sacred ground. Temple waterfalls? Scrying glass? Kneeling. Kissing Ground.

Things to do

How do we handle directions? Up, down, ????

Flesh out Doc on Runoc Magic. Spell-channeling?

What about witches on this world? Want them, or not? Shaman, etc?

Are there cursed magic items?

Travel medium? No wagons, only sleds... Lizard sleds?

Where do shadows fit in a world of light and dark?

What are the 9 world in the tree?

Glossary

Time

Wakes and Sleeps replaces Day and Night. Thus, Noon and Midnight become Midwake and Midsleep. There is no dawn or dusk, at least not downside.

A year is ten weeks.

Direction

upside and downside are designations for up and down.

Name Giving

All things have names. In particular, weapons have names which must be known before their powers can be activated.

Things which have names:

People

Animals

Weapons

Items

Lands, Zones, Regions

Villages

Clans

Groups

Rite of Passage Names?

Need Lore Check to discover names for magic weapons.

Name Resource

Norse Name Parsing

Story names: -argadr, -bok, -drapa, * Edda, * Saga, -skald, -skvida, -veda

Sagas: Eyrbyggla, Floamann, Fridjofs, Heimskryngla, Hrafnsmal, Pidrik, Vigaglums, Ynglingatal

Names: Flateyjarbok, Helgasvida, Hymiskvida, Primsvida, Ragnarsdrapa

Combinational Conjugation: when adding of -r use -a conjugation on preceding word. So, Pole of Mimir becomes "mimameidr".

Racial Derivations

All racial stock is now in some way connected to the Norse Gods.

Jormungandr (Midgard Serpent) is father of all dragons. Dragons fathers of all serpents.

Dragons are Great Wyrms, and bore through the ground (rather than fly in the air).

Also, elves are supposed to be Light Elves and dwarves are supposed to be Dark Elves, risen like maggots from the body of Ymir and graced with form and intelligence. Maybe we can incorporate racial adjustments / alignments like this...

Note that Guntir are powerful clerics and illusionists.

Dwarves and Gnomes as central power figures. Xorns rule, dude!

Half-orcs and half-elves are not common.

Corpses and Rebirth

Humans get stuck to the Yggdrasil tree for rebirth. Other races are buried, etc.

Clothing and Armor

All clothing is in some way equivalent to armor; most are constructed using metal bases.

In fact, no normal clothing is worn. The closest is skins and furs. "Armor" = "Clothing"

 Furthermore, there are several classes of armor:

Blood Armor

Alignment Armor (i.e. Law armor and Chaos armor)

Plant Armor (rare and powerful)

Void Armor (even more rare and more powerful)

Clothing made from void / vacuum / earth is impervious to harm by the appropriate elements.

L/D objects are invisible.

H/C objects are ?

Storm and Vortex armor? Oooh: opposing opposites.

Ideas

Monsters

 All monsters are derived from the alignment chart. They will also have another flavor added, which will consist of:

A metal, gem, or ore

A pure elemental connection

All normal animals regenerate each Wake unless the bones are broken! YES. In fact, most "monsters" will regenerate unless their flesh is burned / bones are broken. Makes sense for bludgeoning weapons for clerics. Wheelah! We might even have bad guys who've harnessed this power... (vampires)

Magic Eating Monsters (?)

Metal Eating Monsters (Rust Monsters)

Pure Metallic Monsters (Copper insects)

Pure Rock Creatures (Obsidimen). Bones = distillates.

Alternative Senses (Motion sensing. Screeling, bats, etc.)

Fungi

Lizards

Vermin (Rats, ?) Need burrowing creatures

Vermin Controllers

Luminice-worms

Light-eaters and accompanying shadows. Dark-eaters. Hot and Cold eaters.

Nasty-Ass Scavengers

Elemental Eaters. Elemental spewers.

Bone monsters which regen flesh.

Seeker creatures.

Bait creatures. This could be funny if the players are the bait...

Weapons

Magnetite weapons, definitely

Coalava and Luminite in combat. Slings, tipped arrows, etc.

Traps

Traps: Teleporters, Warders, Mental, Illusionary, Time, Direction, Senses, etc.

Elemental traps. Floor with luminice, ceiling with coal spikes.

Blocks which cause vortices.

Wood bridge = crystal devastation.

Stalactites.

Metals

Here's the beginning set of metals and ores. Convert herbs to earth of some sort? We'll also need to compile the current magical items (i.e. ioun stones, luckstones, etc.)

Lesser Power = 1/ Greater Powers = 2 / Special = 4

pumice

Ores

-stone, -rock, -ore, -ite, -ine, -on

-um, -er, -d

-ate, -ire

Gems

Spells

Spider Climb

Earth Scry

Earth Swim

Coral Fly

Airy Earth

Pressure

Crystal Shards = Magic missile

Assorted

Earthbergs? Earth rivers?

Magic 3D maps. Maps as infectious passing?
