The Dragon and the Swift: info thread

The Dragon and the Swift is a new chapter told in the fantasy setting of what was previously (at least to me) known as the world of Suras. I choose to rename the planet to Areth for a few reasons, including copyright. because I did not invent the name and only use the aspect of the project that I created. Suras also has two definitions, one that describes a chapter or sections of the Qur ān, the other describing the portion of a leg known as the calf. Neither of these has anything to do with this fantasy world, so a change was needed.

 

However, the vast majority of what folks will remember form the old adventures is still in place and expanded upon. I dug up a few of the old graphics for posterity:

Yes, the maps are terrible, but then I never claimed to be a mapmaker lol. The Sinta Blade graphic was graciously created by Sinister Death and looks great to this day. I'm still searching for other graphics on old drives, etc., and will post them if I find any.

The basic plot of the story revolves around the adventures of a nation of a sea-faring population, better known as pirates for lack of a better term. The above Sinta Blade is their signature weapon. 

 

There are a host of other nations, some good, some bad and a particular grudge held by the Elsidol Empire toward the pirates, of Corsair of Sel Erratz. u

 

The stories take place in a number of locations, mostly tropical, but also in temperate and tundra environments. 

 

I changes the magic system to revolve around psychic abilities interfacing with animal life and the souls of those who have passed. It was previously centered around an element known as "bonestone", but I didn't create that (I can't remember who did, but it was a compelling idea and maybe at some point they'll want to write their own story!) so I reimagined the entire thing to better fit the overall plot I have in mind.

Is this a mafia game or an adventure game?

[Ithillian Turambar]

It will be a Mafia Game. It will probably be a very good Mafia game with twists and turns. Apparently these are very cool Pirates.

[Turin Turambar]

Are they space pirates? 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Space Pirates would be science fiction I think

 

 

[Turin Turambar]

So true. Fantastical creature pirates?

Okay, I'll stop spamming.
