The fishermen had been nomads for a few generations now. They came upon "Ptarvyon River" and thought it was a suitable area to make camp for a few weeks to replenish their food supplies. It did not take them long to discover that there was a reef close to shore, and there was a multitude of many kinds of fish and other sea life.
They noticed a strange round plant like creature growing from the sea bed. This creature frightened them. They stayed away from this plant "baku" as much as possible, till one day one of the fishermen saw a Baku on the shore. This fisherman decided to take a closer look. He was very reluctant at first but got close enough to see the color changing on the top area of the plant. The fisherman took his fishing pole out and started to poke around; he soon found that where the color was darker it was harder. This amazed the fisherman so he informed the leader of the nomad group.
Amazement was an understatement, never before had any seen such a thing. After much debate it was decided to pull the Baku further on shore, clear of the water. The color seemed to change before their eyes, what seemed like minutes were actually hours. Another round of poking was ordered by the leader. Everyone became speechless, the entire mass became hard as rock......
Just some ideas the "Ptarvyon River" part will be changed when the name is decided upon. This needs much work but i thouhght it was a starting block.
after many years of migration through the great portals, the klyros set up camp close to their gate so many other klyros could camp and talk together. one day, the mists surrounded them, and they stumbled into a small swamp. one klyros let out a yell that startled the klyros camp leader. the leader went to investigate, and he saw a small writhing plant with tough lumps on it. the klyros scientists studied this plant and concluded that it was alive. the klyros had no need for the plant and threw it into the swamp. later on in the year, the klyros heard strange noises outside their small village. it was the plant, the baku. it had grown many hundreds of sizes bigger. one klyros climbed the baku to the large flat top part, and looked around. he saw that the mists weren't as thick from there, and slipped down to tell the chief. the chief thought long and hard about what he heard, and told the builders to create a platform upon the baku. many months later, in dwanden, the platform was complete. due to the expansion of the baku the building had gone on longer than expected. the platorm was stared at by everyone. then, the baku sank its branches into the platform and mushrooms and flowers of all sorts erupted. the platform had became organic, and moved with the baku. the klyros people had climbed to the platform and began to build housing upon it. many years later the houses were done, and the houses too became alive. the klyros gathered into the centre of the baku and had a lively party. moments later, the walls of the area started to groan, and liquid burst from gaps in the walls. the baku shot up with the klyros upon it as the liquid filled the cavern. the baku emitted gases from its base and the liquid became thick. then, mists burst from the base also. this is how the klyros city was made.
Drought! Many have seen this happen but never to this degree. The land of the fishermen was drying up before their eyes. What once was a thriving population of many thousands had dwindled down to mere hundreds.
There was no explanation for what was happening, and it was happening fast. The lakes and rivers were once full of much life and a multitude of food sources for the fishermen, now they were only puddles. They tried everything they could think of to fix the problem. They tried dams to keep the water levels up, to no avail. The tried magic to keep the water life growing, failing miserably. All options were discussed, tried, and unsuccessful.
The city council was down to three members, from a 24 delegate group. There were two views of the remaining members. 1- The drought would end and the land would again flourish. 2- The land was dead and to stay would be certain death. The people were also split, those who still had hope and those who thought there was none. The council men knew a decision had to be made soon before the few remaining hundreds would kill eachother in a civil war.
The decision was made. The people would have a choice; stay and hope for the drought to end; leave their homeland in search of a better life. Two of the councilmen lead the four hundred people who decided to leave out of the city. Three hundred stay in desperate hope their homeland would not let them die.
There had been a legend of a portal in the great mountains of “Alhava”. This legend had been told for hundreds of generations and most believed it was a myth. With total desperation they had no other choice but to search for this mystical portal. To “Alhava” they started their quest.
I am no writer so this is full of holes but i thought the idea would be a valide one for the fishermen to have to leave thier homeland.
Sory Baldur Im not sure what you mean by "tempus "
Just for sure: Friends, do you take into consideration info from main PS-site? Check this links:I did indeed scour the history and settings for these little tidbits, but I felt none of them were substancial to make anything worthy of mentioning. I was expecting to read a little more into other deeds by the klyros, but it seems untill you guys invent some, there will be a large lack of them. So, I think that if you guys REALLY want to progress the information on the Klyros race, you need to ignore what the developers post while they're so busy, and just work on stories to the best of your abilities. Write lore, famous locations, interesting tidbits of knowlege and fact. All of that stuff is important, and you can worry later whether it synchs into the planeshift universe completely. :)

http://www.planeshift.it/setting_history.html - notice that Klyroses appeared in Yliakim at last.
I think Kixie's meaning that there's not alot of Klyro's history so for him to get a proper story he's had to invent some. He asked if you could work more on lore so he could get something to work with( as he feels this isn't enough), not change the entire race.A perfect summary I think.
Now all take a deep breath ;)
Yeah. I don't know where my religion lies. :sweatdrop:
I would imagine that a Klyros city would be near water of some source. One by a waterfall would be really cool. but I don't know. I've grown up in Hydlaa my whole life and don't know much about Klyran City. I always imagined it of having really artsy architecture. The houses would be made of very light material. No stone or brick. But that's all I every dreamed of. I don't know if a place like that even exists. :-[

I like your suggestions. However, I'm a bit confused now. Correct me if im wrong but isn't this the 'Lore' thread? Not the City Project: Names and Places thread? What I read at the top of this thread and my understanding of the meaning of the word 'lore' is to come up with bits of history, myth, legend, items of importance and thier stories, people and thier deeds.. so on and so on. It is also my understanding that all of the names/places/things in the 'name' thread were all 'made up' by different people. So in that respect, would it make sense to continue my train of thought in coming up with events/things in the past and how they relate to the present, being the fundimental properties of the definition of 'lore'?
I think the majority of us need a very clear explaination of what is needed on each thread, I see a lot of confused posters. Personally I think that coming up with lore and history will facilitate coming up with names and places more efficiently. I want to post a lot more but it seems no matter where or what I post its not what your looking for. Please help!
You better pick that up in the Main Thread, it's a good idea.
thx for kind words i am trying here :)I've contacted him before so I guess i'll contact him through email again*sigh* this webcomic was just getting exciting!
Have you tired e-mailing kixie?
I am certainly eager to speak with him or her and i think we could sunc things up nicely
let's see how Inca looks on the changes.
