Work Accomplished Today on the Wiki:
Transferred information on dwarven religion from Blog to Wiki.
Began work on centres of culture transfer.
The central island in the archipelago, home of the Emperor.
The Aruan Archipelago is a chain of islands that extends from the south-western peninsula on the main continent. It is a [[Centre of Culture]].
There are five main islands in the archipelago: [[Arua]], [[Myra]], [[Lora]], [[Reia]], and [[Dara]]. The islands are linked through a common ruler, now known as [[The King of Five Crowns]], or the Emperor.
A centre of culture is one of the cultural areas that is in some way distinct from the others.
[[Welcome to The Legacy of the Ancients]]
[[Setting Introduction]]
[[14 February 2008]]
Dwarven religion is marked by a few important traits. They are monotheistic, or mostly so. Depending on who you ask, you may be told that there are no other gods, that other gods were merely Dimiourgos (the dwarven god) in disguise, or that there are other gods, but the greatest and creator of them all was Dimiourgos. All (except a few radicals) agree that Dimiourgos is at least the only god worthy of praise and worship.
Dimiourgos is worshipped in five aspects: The Artisan, the ~Life-Breather, the Protector, the ~Law-Giver, and the Renewer. Each of these aspects has associated with it an act that must be performed or a world-view that must be held. No dwarf is exempt from these five manners of worship.
[[The Aspect of the Artisan]]
[[The Aspect of the Life-Breather]]
[[The Aspect of the Protector]]
[[The Aspect of the Law-Giver]]
[[The Aspect of the Renewer]]
The Former Kularian Empire is a massive area that spans three Centres of Culture (See [[Centre of Culture]]), [[Kulari Proper]], [[Kulari West]], and [[Kulari East]]. It also has had some cultural effect on [[The Western Coast (Centre of Culture)]] and [[The Golden Interior]].
To get started with this blank TiddlyWiki, you'll need to modify the following tiddlers:
* SiteTitle & SiteSubtitle: The title and subtitle of the site, as shown above (after saving, they will also appear in the browser title bar)
* MainMenu: The menu (usually on the left)
* DefaultTiddlers: Contains the names of the tiddlers that you want to appear when the TiddlyWiki is opened
You'll also need to enter your username for signing your edits: <<option txtUserName>>
This small but important agricultural heartland only requires one cultural post. Called the Golden Interior because of the massive amounts of grain grown in the area, there is not much else to be said about this place. It is the typical "sleepy village" area, protected by a deep and rushing river to the north and a mountain range to the south.
That is not to say that it has not known war, but there are no great leaders here, merely small communities, and isolation removes much of the impact from a regime change. If you only ever see nobles when they ride through your town on the way to war, what does it matter to who you pay your taxes to, as long as they are the ones you must appease? What does it matter who takes the excess grain you grow? It doesn't, really.
Furthermore, the gods of the south are peaceful gods, and the God of Harvest is the most peaceful of all. When the young men go away to war, the harvest is neglected. Therefore the best policy is to advocate peace, and to act peacefully in all ways and at all times.
A Law-Speaker is a dwarven historian and judge.

A note on pronunciation: It is not "~MECH-ee-uh". It's "~Muh-KEY-uh". Please don't think this place is about robots, dear lord, no.
This is the last major human centre of culture, and the most different from the others. If you go east north-east from the Aruan Archipelago, you will eventually reach the shores of Mechia.
This place, once conquered by the expanding Kularian Empire in the East, and then again conquered by the Aruan Empire from the West, is isolationist in nature. I'm sure I'll get many accusations of ripping off Japan, and in a sense I am, but this society has reasons beyond "Dylan needed a new cultural basis" for being the way it is.
Where the cultures of the west are full of passion, Mechia is a very dispassionate place. That's not to say that Mechians do not feel passion, but it is considered to be vulgar to show any more passion than necessary. The cold hierarchic society gets its inspiration from the moon, which is believed by Mechians and those in the eastern part of the former Kularian Empire to be made of ice. It travels around the earth to protect itself from the raging heat of the sun.
The stars themselves move very little, and are believed to be the Moon's court (well, at least they believe it in a figurative sense), all are in their proper place. So too must all people remain in their proper places. Gender does not play a serious role in this society, but social class plays a more intense role than other societies.
War and combat is also important to this society. After they had been conquered by the Aruan Empire, a great being came to their aid. He claimed to be an Avatar of the Moon, and his power was great. He singlehandedly marshalled the Mechians and with them threw the Aruans off Mechian soil. His name was Darius, and he is now referred to as Darius the Undying, as he is still their ruler today. Most people outside of Mechia believe that Darius' sons, grandsons, great-grandsons and the rest have all taken pains to look like Darius in an attempt to consolidate power.
Darius is, in fact, an ancient wizard. Having broken with the society of the ancient wizards, he remained behind, and felt that in rescuing and strengthening Mechia he was doing right. He is slowly attempting to return magic to the world through his "Angels", who are close friends and like-minded followers of his, also ancient wizards.
It is unfortunate that the sins required to turn this society into a haven for the magically inclined are great and dark. Darius claims to still be acting in the interests of the people, but much of this project is now just an extension of his ego. For those of you out there who know me, Darius has another name, but I'll keep that a secret for now.
People in the West view Mechians as sorcerers, devil-worshippers and similar unsavoury characters. As humans cannot do magic themselves (well, most humans who can't do magic believe this), they must be tapping into the powers of unsightly creatures. The moon-worship and dispassionate attitudes certainly don't help. As a result of this negative attention from the West, and the conquests, Mechia is a closed society. The only people allowed in are given leave by "Darius", and the only people allowed out are Darius' representatives.

This section of the Tiddlywiki is devoted to describing the types of people you might meet. This includes regional differences and racial differences.
[[ancient wizards]]
[[dwarves]]
[[gnomes]]
[[elves]]
This section of the Tiddlywiki is devoted to physical geography of all sorts. Cities, landscapes, maps, and many other things can be found here.
[[Aruan Archipelago]]
The [[Western Coast]]
[[Former Kularian Empire]]
The [[Golden Interior]]
[[Mechia (Eastern Coast)]]
[[The Blasted Lands]]
This section of the Tiddlywiki is devoted to information players will find useful, such as a guide to character creation, prefab weaves and martial arts systems, and quick and dirty rundowns of things found in the other sections.
Near Mechia, eastern influence, mystical, etc.
As the title of the wiki suggests, this setting is as much about the past as it is about the present. The "Ancients" referred to in the title are the [[ancient wizards]], whose legacy is deep and far-reaching.
(Tiddlywiki note: You're encouraged to read tiddlers that come up in my writing as they come up. If you don't know who the [[ancient wizards]] are, the rest of this introduction isn't going to make much sense to you. This is, thankfully, the magic of tiddlywiki: I don't have to clutter anything with new definitions.)
There are a few important themes to this setting that I'm just going to lay down, right from the start: The Renaissance of Magic, the conflict between Magic and the Mind, and the balance between Order and Chaos.
It's very possible to play in the history, or in a future, in this setting in which some or all of these themes are ignored, but it is designed with the //default// time period as the magical renaissance.
There is a fourth, overarching, inescapable theme as well, and this is the title of the wiki: The Legacy of the Ancients. Magic is entering a renaissance because the ancient wizards are returning. The conflict between magic and the mind is gaining momentum because the aumani are gathering strength to punch through the walls and return to the world in force (which, incidentally, is //why// the ancient wizards are returning). The wizards themselves are caught between the ideals of Order and Chaos, and anything the wizards do has a great effect on their world.

//And in this way, Dimiourgos created the earth.//
The aspect of the Artisan is credited with the creation of everything that exists, including the earth itself. This aspect is called the Artisan to reflect the great majesty of the world and the things in it. The manner in which the Artisan is worshipped is through the act of creation, the highest form of which is the carving of one's offspring. Other forms of creation are encouraged, but it is the carving of one's offspring that must be performed before returning to the stone.
The carving of an offspring is a great endeavour, one that takes anywhere from one to four years of a dwarf's life. The dwarf is released from other clan obligations in order to perform this service, and spends much of the time in seclusion, alone with the rock, stopping only to eat and sleep as necessary. It is common practice for dwarves to wait a long time before carving an offspring, as the clan cannot usually operate for long if many members are released from their responsibilities at once.
A dwarf who decides to devote themselves to the creator spends much of their time creating fine art, usually sculpture or metalwork, and the rest of their time carving offspring. These dwarves often carve two or three offspring, rather than the typical one.
//Dimiourgos then spoke to the assembled dwarves, and gave them the law by which to live.//
The ~Law-Giver is fairly self-explanatory, but one of the important things to note is that the law was given to the dwarves orally. Dimiourgos spoke to them, and told them the law. This has a great effect on dwarven culture, as it sets them up to be oral historians and storytellers. It should be noted that dwarves have no written language.
The proper way to praise the ~Law-Giver is to follow the law. Each tribe (or group of tribes, in the case of smaller tribes) has at least one Law-Speaker, who has dedicated his life to knowing the law and stories of Dimiourgos. ~Law-Speakers are often given the power to make legal rulings, but this is not normally necessary. Instead, they tend to teach and indoctrinate young dwarves into their proper roles in society by teaching them the laws and examining them to help discover the sort of work they are suited to. If any sort of opposition to the ~Life-Breathers was thinkable, it might come from the ~Law-Speakers, who also enjoy significant power and respect.
Devoting oneself to the ~Law-Giver is to devote oneself to learning the vast oral history, stories, and the laws given down by Dimiourgos. It is not a calling to take lightly.
I'll do more on the specific laws themselves in another post, likely with the discussion of politics.
//Dimiourgos, after having carved the first dwarves from the earth he had created, breathed life into them, and taught them the manner of it, saying to them "You are my first and my chosen, you will hold the power of life and death over your offspring".//
This is the aspect of the ~Life-Breather, the most powerful aspect and the most influential, having the only organized priesthood.
Not all dwarves are suited to become ~Life-Breathers, and many ~Life-Breathers jealously guard their secrets from the other dwarves. Those that become ~Life-Breathers themselves are called, supposedly, to the practice, and to ignore that calling is to reject the gift of the ~Life-Breather aspect. To accept it is to worship the ~Life-Breather in the greatest sense, and similarly those who are not suited to those duties worship the ~Life-Breather by doing that for which they are best suited, and thanking the ~Life-Breather for the gift of life.
The Priesthood of the ~Life-Breather rules dwarven society, usually indirectly. The society is often self-regulating and requires little in the way of overt rule, but ~Life-Breathers are consulted about dwarves' callings, and when a dwarf must be promoted above the others (to a position of generalship in the case of war, for example), it is the ~Life-Breathers who make the appointment.
Furthermore, ~Life-Breathers hold the secret of the breathing of life into a carving, making it a dwarf. These priests can (and have, in the past) withhold this action, and essentially destroy a clan, or even the entire race, if they are patient enough.
//When the waves of darkness threatened to pour into this world and destroy the dwarves, Dimiourgos held up his hands and stopped the flow, protecting the dwarves and allowing them to grow until they were strong enough to protect the world themselves.//
The aspect of the Protector defended the then helpless dwarves, allowing them to grow until they were able to protect themselves and others. This selfless act of defense on the part of Dimiourgos is to be imitated. It is an act of praise to defend those who cannot defend themselves.
A dwarf devoted to the Protector might become a guard on a border, or perhaps wander the mountains, looking for lost souls to protect.
//When Dimiourgos discovered the dwarves who had returned to the stone, he was overcome by emotion and wept. His tears washed the statues clean, returning the silt to the water. From the water, he called the rock anew, and rebuilt the dwarves who had lost their life.//
The aspect of the Renewer is responsible for returning dwarves to the stone, making them again one with the stone, and preparing them to be carved into something new.
The Renewer is worshipped in different ways, but all involve taking the statue that a dwarf becomes at death and returning it to the elements. Dwarves in high mountains may leave the statue to be eroded by wind, dwarves that live near a river may have the statue eroded by water. There are some dwarves who live in a volcanic range who return their statues to the lava.
Devotees of the Renewer serve by preparing the statues, finding a place for them, and enabling the other dwarves to pay their respects.
"The King of Five Crowns" is another title belonging to the Emperor of the [[Aruan Empire]]. He is so-called because his Empire is comprised of five kingdoms.

This tiddlywiki is an information page consolidating all of the information about my campaign setting: The Legacy of the Ancients. If you're a player, you're strongly encouraged to remember the difference between ~In-Character Information and ~Out-of-Character Information, but I won't stop you from browsing this site. Any seriously touchy information will just be kept on my personal wiki anyway.
Players are invited, if they are so inclined, to download copies of this Tiddlywiki to make their own notes, but the online version is only editable by me.
Now, some notes about using Tiddlywikis. Each of these little boxes that shows up every time you click on a link is a called a "Tiddler". I didn't make it up, I promise. Clicking on [[the names of tiddlers]] opens them up. You can close them using the "close" option at the top right, or close every other open tiddler by hitting "close others". Double-clicking the name of a tiddler opens it for editing, though you won't able to make changes to the online version without my password. If you're interested in learning more about basic Tiddlywiki use, please go [[here|http://tiddlyspot.com/twhelp/]]
If you're new to the setting, please visit the [[Setting Introduction]] as a jumping-off point into this vast world.
The Western Coast runs up from the [[Three-Tooth Mountains]] in the south to the [[Icy Mountains]] in the north. It contains three Centres of Culture, [[The Bay Coast]], [[The Western Coast (Centre of Culture)]], and the [[Icy Coast]]
The ancient wizards are a society of human-like persons, suspected to have shared a common ancestor with the humans prominent on the eastern continent at some point in history. Their society peaked approximately one thousand five hundred years before the default time period.
It is difficult to do justice to how influential and important this society was to almost every facet of existence (excepting, of course, our woefully ignorant modern humans). By way of an example, for ease in reference to historical events and the like, all dates on this wiki are calculated using the calender devised by the ancient wizards. Dwarves, elves and gnomes use this calendar as well, leaving only our woefully ignorant modern humans with calendar problems.
The ancient wizards are as much defined by their principal antagonists, the [[aumani]], as they are by their own accomplishments.
!Race Portfolio
''Homeland'': Dispersed across the continents. Prominent homelands include the northern mountains (icy), the volcanic mountains on the western continent, the three-tooth mountains in the south, and the great wall mountains in the east.
''Homeland Anomalies'': Dwarves live mostly in mountain caves, either natural or carved.
''Archetype'': Calm, deliberate, pious.
''Average Height/Weight/Skin Colour/Hair Colour'': 5'0" (short humans), 200lbs (dense like stone), grey skin-tone, black hair.
''Race Description'': Dwarves are approximately as tall as short humans, though this is entirely up to the dwarf responsible for the carving. The shorter heights are to ensure that less space is needed underground. The dwarf never really loses its stony nature, remaining very dense. Their skin is a deep grey, though this varies somewhat depending on what type of stone is used to create the dwarf. Ancient stories tell of alabaster dwarves! Their black hair is almost mossy in texture, and is only on the top head. There are no sexual organs; the dwarf literally has nothing there.
''Food Types'': Dwarves eat mosses and fungi that grow naturally in underground areas. Dwarves can go a long time without food.
''Government/Ruling Body'': Dwarven society is a theocracy, ruled by the priesthood that effectively holds ultimate power: The power to refuse to animate more dwarves. It is the laws of Dimiourgos, the creator, that rule in dwarven society. All dwarves follow these laws, but regional differences involve different interpretations. (Note, these laws are forthcoming!)
''Diversity'': Often, the stone used in the carving of a dwarf has something to do with their personality. It stands, therefore, that dwarves from different areas will have slightly different personalities, cultures, and ideas.
*''Volcanic (Igneous) Dwarves'': Slightly more hot-tempered than a normal dwarf. Still mostly unnaturally calm by human standards.
*''Sedimentary Dwarves'': Layered in a metaphorical sense. Probably the most suited to deception, keeping secrets, and that ilk.
*''Metamorphic Dwarves'': Metamorphic rock has had time in the earth to mature, and contains the greatest proportion of precious minerals. Metamorphic Dwarves are much the same way, and often serve in the priesthood or as clan-leaders.
''Language'': Dwarves have their own language, which is a rich, soft-spoken, gravelly sound. Some who venture into human society learn human language from old texts, but they stand out, as it is an archaic form of the language.
''Religion/Philosophy'': Dwarves worship one god, Dimiourgos (the Creator), in many aspects. Dimiourgos is the Artisan, the ~Life-Breather, the Protector, the ~Law-Giver, and the Renewer. Priests dedicate themselves to one or more of these aspects, but only the ~Life-Breather has an official hierarchy. Dimiourgos' Law stresses patience, calm, and durability.
''Unusual Laws/Taboos'': The carving of a dwarf is considered a sacred enterprise, one that can take as many as four years. Dwarves are typically left to pray and meditate for this experience, often withdrawing almost entirely from the rest of dwarven society. It is considered an insult to offer help to a dwarf who is carving an offspring. The creation of dwarves is kept a secret, as any outsider who learned that only a few dwarves could breathe life into other dwarves would be considered quite dangerous. A dwarf's life is directly proportional to the amount of time spent on his carving. A dwarf will live for fifty years for each year spent carving.
''Military Type'': The dwarves do not hold a standing army. Often when the dwarves feel the winds of approaching war, they spend a year creating soldiers.
''Allies/Enemies'': The dwarves have no natural enemies in this world. Their staunchest allies, the ancient wizards, are long gone, and dwarves are mostly left alone. They have been peaceful for centuries.
