Title: what is "the Crystal"
Post by: WizardsRule on April 08, 2005, 01:17:36 am

it talks about it in the following excerpt from the goverment section.

\"One of the most famous cases is the one of Fertedian Dalko, Octarch of the 4th level, that was tied to a hypnotized Megaras and sent straight towards the Crystal. \"

The azure sun? The life giving glowing ball of light that is omnipotent? Brush up on your history. It\'s radioactive as the background and so many others have explained, so the man was sent towards the crystal as a form of punishment. What else needs to be explained? Honestly, your threads need to have  bit more behind them. They seem like 30 second thoughts, strewn together. I do appriciate your effort in spelling and punctuation, just try and be a bit more focused in your ideas.

In the Planeshift history (http://www.planeshift.it/setting_history.html) and overview (http://www.planeshift.it/setting_overview.html) they mension \"Azure Sun\" and \"Azure Crystal\" and I think there\'s something like \"Yliakum is also called the city of the Azure Sun because of the bright Crystal on the stalagmite roof\"... something like that.

But I still didn\'t get if Laanx is a female or a male...

Laanx was initially female, but she lost all traces of a human-like sex due to her and Talad being not-really-very-friendly-to-eachother. So technically, she\'s an \"it\" now, but \"she\" is still so much better. :)

Just for the records; Laanx never was a male.

i thought the history described the gods as beyond gender, but that Laanx sybolized femininity, and Talad masculinity.

Quote

From the Planeshift History

Laanx spoke with a cold, male voice:
-You don\'t know what you did, Talad. It is not possible anymore to be One. I don\'t know you, and you don\'t know me. Go away and do not annoy me anymore.
(...)
After many generations of the Lemur had passed, Laanx wandered into a cave that was hundreds of times bigger than the one he created (...)

Laanx was never a male? mmm... there are more references to this... but there\'s another part where they call Laanx a \"she\" again, so I always had this doubt...

Quote

Laanx spoke, showing completely his true essence. - I\'m Laanx - she said - and I\'m your god.-
The creature gazed resentfully and silently, and then sat on a rock with its chin in its hands.
Seeing that the creature refused to follow his orders, Laanx became enraged and destroyed the creature by whispering a single word.

Ah! here it is... another thing to confuse... first \"his\" and then \"she\"... strange... strange...
