Questionable Questing

I'm thinking less punching people in the face hard enough to push them through a concrete wall, or casually lifting someone up one handed, and more hitting the right pressure point to disable the arm or applying just enough pressure in the right joint to break it. Less rambo and more John wick if that makes sense. Of course with a little comic book exaggeration added in.

And I would love to hear some word building.

John Wick is fine.

Spirits. Spirits cultivate over time and form into groups. The Old Gods are the great spirits of the world. Rhlor and the Great Other are the extreme right and left of that, the purest spiriual energy an the corrupted necrotic dregs. The Seven are the Godstars, alien beings from outside this rhythm. Mages of the Seven Towers draw on power from the spirits around them.

Andals filtered through the light of the God Stars. Others to the forces of summer or winter or flame and stone for Rhaella. Their soaking up and channeling a free flowing ocean of ambinent magical energy

The Citidal, which has the ilithids if you want that interlude, are Sevenists but also usually use inner mental energy. The power of thought to harness their will over the world instead of absorbing the essence of the world and shaping it directly.

So are the other's a corruption of pure magic, or are they just a representation of the inherent decay and destruction in everyday life and by extension magic?

Wait I just realized I asked the classic question about hell. Lol. Is hell torture because it lacks god's light, or is it a physical place that physically tortures you?

The answer is I'm having the Other Son of Craster kill his father to set up a perverted kingdom in the North with goblins for the players to be invited into and to discover there is no great Other threat like they understand it. Your thoughts on the Others as decay and death fit well. Jackal has them as those adapted to cold deathly conditions. Those who have lived in frozen radoicative dark magic.

What caused the frozen wasteland to appear anyway?

In my quest with Cersei my idea was that magic is always in a state of equilibrium and the stronger one side is the other side opposing it becomes stronger to match it. The Valerian's mastered dragons and by extension fire, making them so strong that ice rose up to defeat them in the from of Garin's curse. While in the past the rise of the others, caused the birth of rhollar and dragons.

Fire and ice. Balance is maintained between the two.

Wild old god magic plus extreme cold leads to many spirits of death and destruction, which feeds more spirits and you see the cycle

I like your idea of the two forces connecting to each other. Not sure I'll do that and interesting to bind the dragons to Rholor

Could it potentially be destroyed through climate change or terraforming the land to have plants, thus creating living spirits instead of dead ones? Or is the pure wild magic too potent or self sustaining to fully destroy its influence?

One of the ways. for my idea, the two were connected was that a big fuck off godzilla sized dragon is lurking in the ruins of Valeria, and thus once the others are destroyed there's another future world destroying threat ready to replace it. Thus a cycle of ice is ended and now an age of fire will replace it, and the cycle continues.

At this point there is so much build up that trying to alter it would be trying to displace thousands of years worth of networked spirits.

So if the godzila dragon wakes up, what creative force of Ice will come?

Godzilla dragon has to get killed first, ending the age of fire, but then probably a mutation of the green spirits the children of the forest accidentally created.

Interesting. Character wise what hero idols will robbinson's kids look up to and her wife finding friends with Shoto's mom as her son dates shoto?

All Might definitely, his optimism is too infectious. Gavin will get really close with Aizawa because, and Gavin will never admit this, Aizawa reminds him of his mother with the cynical edge tempered by a deeply empathetic nature. Lily will actually get really close with Midnight, despite being a blushing virgin, because midnight is comfortable freely expressing herself and her emotions and Lily's jealous of that.

Lilly is emotional but these emotions are for others, not herself. While I like the idea that Gavin enjoys Aizawa for being akin to his mom but with an aspect she lacks
