Glaugust 2026 (Part 4)

Non-Lovecraftian cosmic horror.

Why does everything have to do with the campaign I'm running this Christmas?!! Anyway, I don't think it will mean too much to my players if I give a little hint in the form of the king in yellow...

An unusual crop.

Dwarves grow crystals inside caves near geologically active regions, such as volcanoes. The 'fields' take the form of pits filled with a solution of the necessary materials, which form the crystals when the water evaporates. Dwarves insist that this is 'growing' food, and in their tongue they give it the same name as the growth of moss.

Tree dungeon.

Too long for this post. :( I will get round to this [PROPHECY DECLARED].

A lost spellbook, its contents, and the factions/individuals that vie for it.

The book of circles was a gift from the aetherial world and is principally a biological taxonomy of life in the aether. Thanks, Honno (Shoutout): Elemental magic system. The idea is that spells and other creatures are classified according to their element and then according to their 'circle', or degree of sentience, of which there are hundreds. This flies in the face of the theories proposed by the Royal Academy of Wizards, who hypothesised seven fundamental spells:

• Enlarge/reduce
• Heat/cool
• Light/darkness
• Multiply/divide
• Increase/reduce mass
• Lightning ray
• Time stop

The academy wants this book burnt, but most lorekeepers (my setting's clerics) consider this a vital text and important to keep so as to not offend the higher aetherial beings. It is currently housed in the tower of the Great Door (built around the passage between worlds).

Some roadfreaks for a passage that isn't a road – canalfreaks, hyperlanefreaks, portalfreaks, etc.

WILL SOMEBODY GET THESE FILTHY GREMLINS OFF MY CLOTHESLINE!! 

System for legal arguments in a court of law.

For an argument to be made in a court of law, it must be:

a) True.

b) Relevant.

c) New.

There is the position of argument examiner, who takes them for evaluation and then gives them to the voice of the court, in charge of reading them. Arguments that are declined are returned to their party, though they may ask for a review in the form of another argument or ask for confirmation directly from the fact analyst, the topic centraliser, and the scribe.
