...that you could create anything to do with Aeia. Anything at all. An item, an area, anything.

What would it be and why?

Or, if someone else was creating it, what would you want to see and why?

Go!

Hmmm.. having now run across this, I shall have to think

Hmmmmmm...

So much festing though....

<Moonstone Abbey recently uncovered a shrine of Aeia on the Abbey grounds just outside of the town of Illistim.>

But does it say "elves drool" on it?

How about a garden area dedicated to Aeia tended by a local priest. The garden could feature plants and wildlife that have been touched by Aeia's presence.

It might be interesting to introduce a short storyline into the game where Aeia (or a representative) visits to dedicate the area (or fend off some evil threatening the area). Assuming success, those that participate might have an item in their posession touched by Aeia (Aeia scripty goodness for weapons or armor for those interested/dedicated to the cause).

Thanks for this information. I am still fairly new to the Rest so haven't expolred it in as much detail as I would like to (yet).

I love that garden, and I often ask, maybe just to be a bit cocky because I also love the Rest.. but those that claim they know it so well usually get a question from me. That question is where does it snow In the Rest. I think maybe 2 have been able to answer it in many years.

<I would create a pair of statues or outdoor mural that can be a holy place to both her and Kuon, The two pleasantly looking over a garden. Proper prayer or offerings for a particular plant or herb, could possibly yield a gift of that or any herb or plant that appears on the ground.>

There isn't this specifically, but if you offer a green sapphire to the Aeia statue outside the cleric's guild in RR, you sometimes get a gift from her (not an herb though).

I've seen several good ideas that I'm going to put on my special idea list for later use and abuse, but...

...think bigger.

I'm talking...PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER! itty bitty egg-shaped island.

Let me see if I can frame it. You win a raffle in which you get a blank slate of an area (we're talking multiple rooms) to paint and design. You, of course, being a devout Aeian, want to devote the area to her.

What kind of place is it? What kind of animals are there? Are they special? What about the plants? Any land structures? Are there buildings? What kind? Artifacts? What sort? Any "special features" you'd want to work in? Special features being described as magical stuffs or effects or messaging.

GO WILD.

Not exactly what I had in mind.

Less epic profit.

I always thought it would be interesting if the messaging within a place were affected by your deity alignment. So for example, those aligned with Lornon would get a different feeling in an Liabo area than those aligned with Liabo and vice versa.

You said think bigger....

disclamer-- I spell badly!

A massive earthen mound stands out on the fringe of the beach. The lush jungle dark and deep behind it. The mound is surrounded by lush growth of a variety of plants ranging from species known in every garden across the lands, to plants even the most seasoned ranger would have to study to identify.

After some searching you find an entrance hidden by vines of wysteria, roses, ivy, honeysuckle and many other flowers then normally do not welomce to cohabitation.

Inside the mound you see a large statue of a beautiful human female with kind eyes, various lilies growing through the soft grass surrounding the statue.

You glance up and realize the ceiling is open allowing sun/moon to stream light down onto the statue and surrounding patch of grass.

looking around you see passages leading off to the north south east and west,

ranger sense-- you find the area is a cultivated and encompasses many seasons, you sense recently... a critter with the proper culture or climate to be a green eyed porcupine, a green eyed bobcat, etc k9, and a bird that can be sapphire green colored.

each room has a different set of cultures and terrain to cover 5 unique combinations,, Temperate and subterranean is a good one, it can yield a green eyed white wolf.

each room has its own descriptions and purpose. one being plants that are edible and scripted for both people, companions, familairs, and special pets like kittens, etc.. Another Every healing herb imaginable.. Another many of the Alchemy and Ranger imbue herbs and plants from all over the lands.

Finally, the last passage should be special. A place like no other in the land but does not extend beyond RR. Ideally Id like to see it lead to a place where capped critters lived, but she is a rather passive demi-god. The only way I could see that happening would be if you left her an offering, to allow passage to train and test yourself against the greatest foes so that you were prepared to defend against anything.

That being said and unlikely to happen, my next best suggestion would be create an area that with an offering allows one to earn some thing, a stone or whatever to transport that persons body back from over the bay to the commons. It would need to have a fail safe,, where on death you got a message like you have earned a favor with Aeia to bring your body home if you do not wish to use this favor type cancel {something} otherwise you will be transported back. If you choose not to use her favor.. (dunno save it or not? but one shold only be able to have one at a time no matter what)

<A jungle gym!>

Heh, that might be fun. Your pretty sharp at doing things mars,, Icemule could use a vamping on the penguin pool, could make it a ice rink where the penguin's play some form of hockey with you... Use the slide for a fast launch belly slides with a puck release it, and the penguines try and block it from going in there cave on the opposite end. Then they get ... Angry.. and retaliate trying to score with a cave under the slide. Nothin more fun then angry penguins!!!

Fishing is a whole different can of worms!

~ X., punny.

hmmm... having had the craziest February, beyond imagination even... really... I might spend some time pondering this, even if it is late
(and Oh it had NOTHING to do with the Whiners mess)

It's "Aeia" to be everywhere.
