Just trying to formulate a story using my current playthrough,10 turns for now,skipped uneventful turns.

Mods used are

Base ruleset:Rekmod

Extension mods:Events and Decisions

Difficulty:King

Turn 0-Our great empire has started,finally...well,it's still one city,but still,I just know it will be.We spawned near a river with some salt and perfume to the south,with one more near to the east,used my settler to explore north along the river,now named منطقة نورث ريفر الكبرى(Greater North River) based on the fact that it pierces through very hilly desserts and the place we will settle upon.

The settler found some more salt to the North,which solidified our decision to settle there,we started constructing a monument to this great achievement,modeled after my gorgeous self of course,and queued for a worker next and another warrior to protect him while the other explores or vice-versa.We started researching pottery.

Turn 1-The warrior found some ancient ruins that had a map of the area with a barbarian camp southwest,the brave warrior journeyed to the distant camp to ki- ah,I mean,exto- ah,I mean,AGGRESSIVELY COLLECT TAXES,from the barbarian camp.

Turn 4-The barbarians have noticed us and attacked us,we received more damage than them,we retaliated.

Turn 5-We beat the barbarian warrior with low health remaining,we recovered 16 gold from the outpost,the warrior is returning to the city to heal.

Turn 7-We have finished researching pottery and have started researching mining.

Turn 9-THE **SUN FUCKING DISSAPPEARED...HOW!?! Ahem,**ther must be a reasonable explanation for this.

Turn 10-We have started a TRADITION of sculpting and creating wonders,WE SHALL HAVE ALL WONDERS UPON OUR CIVILIZATION...ALL THAT DEFY THIS SHALL PERISH.

If you have suggestions on the gameplay,or criticism of my storytelling,feel free to tell me anything.

Here's the post,anyway

An excerpt from a book called "The lantern in the darkness" says this "The Nowhere is the place where all things dead reside,including knowledge,an hour from there picks and preserves the greatest of them,some the Elegiast takes to return,some the Beachcomber steals."

The Lighthouse,also known as the Book Burning or The Exit of The Soul,is a God-from-Nowhere,where he was born,and a God-from-light,from a spark of the Forge of Days fallen to the Nowhere.His aspects are secret histories and lantern,and his sphere is all that is forgotten,and all that will not be again(experience,lighting in a bottle ideas,unique stuff,etc.)

He hoards the great knowledge and dead to the living,the greatest of which is in the middle of his hoard to protect and control.He is visited by the Elegiast,his friend,to talk and to trade things,and the Beachcomber,which sometimes steals,or asks for things it wants,and he gives willingly,as long as it is not from the center of his hoard,which he will burn of there is something missing.

He has a ritual called The rite of book burning,where you may,sacrifice a text,high level lore,or unique things,to summon a forgotten,a believer of the Book Burning from the Nowhere,which will make your believers insane if you fail,which has 8 lantern and 8 moth

A Unique spirit that he has is Tory,the first forgotten name,or the first deadname,speaks Vak,and will make your believers insane(again),he was in the Nowhere,then witnessed the birth of **the Lighthouse,**who then subsequently put him in the middle of his hoard,learned many things,then turned to a long,then a name,moved to the outskirts then trade to the Elegiast and then returned to the mansus,then stolen by the **Beachcomber,**for he knows the secret and forbidden couplings of many forgotten and living hours,then escaped to the waking world via the ritual to give us this info.

Just something I cooked up in the back of my brain for a bit and let it cool

Tell me adept,what is pure?

Tell me adept,what is pure?

Once again I implore all you adepts to help me find inspiration/better stuff to say here.

Okay,so it would start with you dreaming to ascension:enlightenment and then with SH to upgrade it,then you would have to explore a lot of sh,like up to 10-12,then beat them,then remember how the first few SH locations drops an empty place you can illegally move into,like that,but stackable and triggered only if you dreamed with SH,AND/BUT be inhabited by people,cuz you still need people to know what/where stuff is/happens for it to be history,then,work on them or talk to your followers for a vow of silence/NDA(SH),about those places,to turn them to SH(re-sealed),BUT,because theyre SH inhabited by people,their stock of things to STEA-,RO-,TRANSFER to ourselves would well restock,like the repeatable last SH locations,because why would people leave their lives behind them without a big,continuous,reason?

Strathcoyne burned his house down,sure,but he's rich enough to buy a thousand more with even more books,and Kerisham's a town for pete's sake,yes everyone knows the high level lore of x,y,z,they worshipped The Sun In Splendour before his breakup with The Forge Of Days.(figuratively and literally)

Ok,then you would take those SH Then work with then with lore,moth "I will spread it" making it not so secret

knock,"I shall open it to others,or myself" monopolizing/renting the SH out basically,

and heart "I shall bury it" ,representing The Vagabond,The Mother Of Ants,and The Velvet respectively,plus a way to pledge your allegiance to them

You would basically be doing this over and over again to higher and higher SH(like do one time per level,2,4,6,etc,then,once you're done,combine SH to level 14,and once youve gotten enough you would dream the peacock door,and then get,the new SH influence "a true secret" a level 15 influence, "only 2 people know this,an hour,and me",you've basically got an infinite amount of these because,the hours aren't very honest about themselves,and because of your allegiance this happens.

I forgot to add the marks of desire part,along with my other one,so here it is,sure the included hours arepretty different all in all,but its secret histories,all of them are secret,even the hours who helped you,anyways.

"The X,Y, and Z hour,who is THE,X,Y and Z title has known me,every day my presence is less,like I am not here,this is the third mark."

"The fourth mark is not found,as I am not found,only adepts can barely see me,though if I strip and scream,I am seen and heard as a ghost,or a thought,I feel lesser."

"The fifth mark is like an anchor,the places I visit feel like...I do not know,the spirits do not know me."

"The sixth mark is known,well,as I know it to occur when my own existence,to myself,feels like nothing,most hours,except some and my own,do not know me"

"Though nothing remains,I will pass through the Tricuspid Gate and will not return.My hour awaits me.In their presence,I am nothing.This understanding is too much for my soul,to hold,but The Mother Of Ants will open me,The Vagabond shall spread whats left of my presence,as well as the understanding The Velvet shall hide my death,I am not immortal:none know of me for it to be so."

"I have passed through the Tricuspid Gate,and entered the rooms of the Mansus.The glory is very close here,it's light and knowledge seeps through me.I have walked with my hour.Sometime I hear the hours debate one another on the matter of the courses of the world.I have not yet lived,I will not die.Perhaps one day,I will rise even higher."[Congratulations on a standard enlightenment victory,I have unleashed the tigers of my imagination,it says there are other paths]

​

Honestly I didn't know if I should go for a "only the higher powers know things" kind of victory or "the knowledge of me is nothing/doesn't exist" I did the latter,but i have ideas for the former,if you guys want it.

I don't know THAT much lore,im maybe? Elbow/knee deep in the lore,like I don't know the crime of the sky,the corovality?,the intercalate,the shadow self of the mansus,legieans?etc.I DO know the mansus,the names and aspects of the hours,basically just enough to headcanon my own,but it's not perfect.

I found the game,became addicted to it,and bought all the dlcs,but I've only won standard victories,none of the dlc victories,so once again,please give me the deep end lore and feedback to better this fanmade edge victory.

So it would start out with you dreaming your desire to power and then dreaming it with edge lore to get dedictation/ascension power,next is different,which will need you to voluntarily make a follower(preferably forge,cuz,you know,the lionsmith) mad,invoking/mimicking the corovality,and the earlier you do this,the better,since it would increase their hatred for you,and it would then spur them to ascend as fast/faster then you,what would entail,would be like sabotaging the longs plans,killing his followers,them retaliating,etc.

You would then acrue scars,and then choose to heal or keep them to pledge your loyalty to either hours,but I havent thought of anything for a major edge victory,so,no,Then,as he ascends,you will ascend with him,bringing the fight through the Tricuspid Gate and then

"For a little while we dwell in the high rooms of the mansus,and then we return through the Tricuspid Gate,his body stirs in the ashes,mine in my scars,they are hairless and imperishable as marble,I scarred/healed and unkillable,I carry the cunning edge/enduring strength(based on which hour you pledge loyalty to),I will not die,we will fight eternally I will rebel,perhaps,one day,I will rise even higher.[congratulations on a standard power victory,I have unleashed the tigers of my imagination,it says there are other paths.]"
