I think the nephew shows great promise to see through Enkidel's web of lies at such a young age and to begin generating a web of his own. Tudiya would know if Enkidel's nephew had been altered. I'm happy for Danal and hope we can win the kid over in time. We can hardly judge someone for keeping secrets after a heroic adventure given all the NDA's Enkidel has been saddled with.

super sweet best pal posted:How can we build such a wonder when we ourselves do not know the joy of pooping? See, this gets me thinking. I'm wondering what it takes to modify great works. I'm wondering if Every Strike can translate smithing into automation and sculpting. Where are the boundaries, what are the limits? But it also brings to attention Zepa's monument itself. Did Zepa make it himself? If so, why is it such a pale imitation of the Great Works of other Great Cities. Zepa claimed to be a son of Labaras, yet every great city is credited to a grandson. And, even then, some Great Works are from a prior system hinted at by Amos and Amok. To me it looks like current Ur sits on top of at least two previously fallen empires and some sort of treaty is in place governing everything that remains in a sort of stalemate; some third parties might be working within or around the bureaucratic cracks, but everything is otherwise being left up to the Temple who won't be worried until Mt. Har is challenged. But the common folk don't know what's going on, or even that they're pawns. A Terrible Person fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Jul 12, 2020 |

Zepa claimed to be a son of Labaras, yet every great city is credited to a grandson. And, even then, some Great Works are from a prior system hinted at by Amos and Amok. Zepa's whole shtick is to eschew grand works and opulence. He specifically went out of his way to find a cursed land of (hunger?) demons to conquer, seal away, and ignore completely in the founding myth. It's pretty telling that Zepath's creation myth is "yeah we just picked a spot out away from all the bullshit." Unless I mis-remember there's no giant monster we claim Zepa slew and founded the city upon; the dragon skull is from Tudiya way later. It makes total sense to have his grand Ozymandias monument off somewhere else completely; the people who actually need to see it will be able to find it. It's a begrudging concession to the rules, and if you consider that it's guarded by a creature that we never actually saw but was merely hinted at, it just falls even more in line. The mere hint of the threat of his power shown only to those who need to see it to know that "yes, actually, we're pretty awesome, we just don't flaunt it," was enough for his purpose. It would have helped if Zepa clarified the bloodline part though so we didn't write that we married our dog.

Unless I mis-remember there's no giant monster we claim Zepa slew and founded the city upon; the dragon skull is from Tudiya way later. By and large correct, but Zepa definitely claims he dueled Asherah, whom the line of Zepa asserts to have been the bride of Asherak. If you believe the founding myth, Zepa cast her into the sea. I'm not sure how well known that specific part is, though.

Unless I mis-remember there's no giant monster we claim Zepa slew and founded the city upon; the dragon skull is from Tudiya way later. The massive monster our mythical founder killed (ok technically just drove back IIRC) is, uh, Asherak/Asherah/one of those big fish. That's who used to live here, that's who's rear end Zepa kicked, and because he kicked the rear end of the biggest baddest sea demon imaginable that was achievement enough and he spent the next 1,000 years loving his wives and enjoying his cabin in the woods away from his rear end in a top hat brothers instead of participating in the dick-measuring Great Work contest. Also Zepath's a melachim listening post built to quietly keep an eye on the sea, so it's probably kept intentionally small and quiet and unremarkable to avoid drawing too much attention. E: Beaten

We should forge one of those chain segments we can apparently make. Then make a bet with Tudiya. If he can't break the chain, then Danal is made king instead of us, but we still get to peek into the kingly records. If he can, then we are a mushroom until the next Jubilee.

Arkanomen posted:I bet the hunger demon under Zepath is Zepa after burning all his [???] to contain Asherah and is there as one last FU if she crawls up and takes Zepath. I think it was something else. Some other type of demon—since not all (probably not most) demons are hunger demons. I think hunger demons are really rare, and that most of the big D Demons like Fare and Asherah are just Melachim that turned from El/went Evil. They’re not hunger demons, though. I feel like Amok was pretty clear that Nephilim are very different than Melachim and humans since we’re immortal in a way they’re not. I wonder if when Melachim exhaust [???] They just wink out of existence. It’d explain why some turn to extreme measures to stay “alive.” I bet the demons under Zepath were just related to Asherah/k in some fashion. My running theory is that Labaras was a nephilim that pledged himself to El to bind the eternal hunger in himself and all of his descendants. So Zepa was a half Nephilim—quarter melachim—and bloodedness is just that trace of melachim blood. (And we’re of Zepa’s line because the same Melachim that begat Labaras begat us. So we’re Labaras’ half brother, and Zepa’s uncle. Making triple dad also our nephew and our wife our sister, step-sister, and some kind of cousin?)
