Ad substantiam * * * A shapeless expanse of substance twists, bends and turns inside of a seal so strong that nothing could ever hope to breach it. Inside of that unbreakable firmament five quintuplet lights illuminated that substance with a grandiose, yet scarred radiancy. Their light shaped that substance into exponentially more complex forms with the adeptness that only someone that already did so thousands of times before could have. Each light gave the substance a different quality: The first, which radiated golden light in a complex yet systematic pattern, ordered it in all of the elements and gave each element rules to follow. The second, which radiated crimson light with a violent rage, made strife between the elements, creating rivalries and alliances that are locked in a forever war. The third, which radiated a verdurous and solemn light, gave the elements the ability to create roots that could connect them. The fourth, which radiated an azure light that was gargantuan in scale, strengthened the roots of the elements, allowing them to create titanic constructs. The fifth, which radiated a swarming and stinging violet light, gave the constructs voracity, making them hunger to fight against entropy. So the lights created life, and so the lights created sapients, just like they did the first time in this inviolable firmament in which they sealed themselves… Yet that firmament wasn’t as strong as they thought; outsiders, holding the primordial strength of the archè itself, opened fissures in that firmament. The fissures were not big enough to be noticed by the quintuplets, but they were big enough to allow intervention; so the outsiders too created life of their own, and so the outsiders too created sapients of their own to undermine the seal. * * * Welcome to Londorion! A game about civilizations, their advancements and conflicts in this vast and mysterious world. Will they discover the secret behind their world, or will they remain ignorant of the truth that is greater than them? > **More Info** > > > **The World** > > > > The world of Londorion is a flat disk composed of five concentrical rings: > > > > > The Baroian ring; the first and outermost ring of Londorion. > > > > > The Valmian ring; the second ring of Londorion. > > > > > The Dralian ring; the third and middle ring of Londorion. > > > > > The Larmian ring; the fourth ring of Londorion. > > > > > The Kaetelian ring; the fifth and innermost ring of Londorion. > > > > Outside of the rings and in the gaps between the rings there is the Oderhan, which is highly hostile to life. > > > > * * * > > > > The closer a ring is to the center of the world the more magic it contains, but the less mineral resources it has. This means that the innermost ring has the most magic but the least minerals meanwhile the opposite is true for the outermost ring. > > > > Each ring also has special resources that are unique to that ring. > > > **The Magnitude system** > > > > The magnitude system is the roll system that I will use to determinate whether your vote has succeeded or not. When a vote is made, it is assigned one of six magnitudes, these are the magnitudes in crescent order: Magnitude F, Magnitude D, Magnitude C, Magnitude B, Magnitude A and Magnitude S. > > > > Once the magnitude has been choosen, a random number whose range depends on the magnitude will be generated and if the required statistics are equal or bigger than the number generated the vote will succeed… Magnitude F is the easiest magnitude to overcome, while S is the hardest. To be more precise, each magnitude’s roll range is: F - 0-50, D - 45-100, C - 95-150, B - 145-200, A - 195-250 and S - 245-300. > > > **Culture system** > > > > Your civilization’s culture will have a major role in your playstyle. > > To manipulate your civilization’s culture you will use culture votes, culture votes don’t have rolls and you receive 1 culture vote for each 2 normal votes you have. > > > > Culture is divided in two sections: > > > > > Memes - memes are the general tendencies of your culture and they give minor changes. Memes can be in 1 of 3 different conditions: > > > > > > Emerging - this is the first phase of a new meme appearing in your culture, emerging memes are easier to remove than estabilished ones and can be encouraged by the player to become estabilished faster, emerging memes dont affect your votes and will become estabilished if ignored for long enough. A player may choose to start making certain memes emerge by using culture votes. > > > > > > Estabilished - estabished memes affect your votes and are harder to remove, an estabilished meme can become descending if something that goes in contradiction to it happens or it can become descending if a player uses enough culture votes. Estabilished memes have 3 levels, 1st, 2nd and 3rd; each level increases the effects of the meme and makes it harder to push into descending state. > > > > > > Descending - the state in which memes are before being completely removed. Descending memes still affect votes and will be removed if ignored for long enough and can be removed faster by using culture votes or they can become estabilished again by using culture votes. > > > > > Precepts - they are more specific characteristics of your culture, giving more major changes than memes. Percepts are also harder to create and remove than memes, and might require both culture votes and normal votes. > > > **Species and Civilization Templates** > > > > Name: Name of your species > > > > Attributes: > > > > Intelligence: Affects technology votes and other things that require intelligence > > > > Cooperation: Affects internal organization votes and other things that require cooperation with members of the same group (does not boost interactions with NPC civs of the same species) > > > > Charisma: Affects interactions with other civs and boosts the results of culture votes > > > > Strenght: Affects votes that require physical strenght and attack power > > > > Agility: Affects scouting and espionage votes, and any other vote that uses agility > > > > Endurance: Affects votes that require physical extersion for long periods of time and defensive power > > > > Attunement: Affects magic votes > > > > Attribute points: 210 > > > > Min points per attribute: 5 > > > > Max points per attribute: 60 > > > > Size: Maximum size is 30 meters, minimum size is 30 cm.

Regions have stability, stability dictates how likely a region is to fall apart or to try to separate into a new nation. Other than stability there is also unrest, which is a value attributed to the entire civilization, high amount of unrest will cause negative effects. > > > **Military system** > > > > Military power is divided into offensive power and defensive power, units can be “positioned” to produce either attacking power or defensive power but not both at the same time, doing this does not use a vote (But doing attacks and military manuevers does use votes). > > > > Defensive power is needed to defend positions and offensive power is needed to attack positions. Take into account that it is generally slightly easier to defend a position than to attack it. ---

Also quite the effective ambusher, with large scythe claws and webbing that can carry bio electric shocks - +8 agility, +7 strenght, +5 to ambush rolls. > > > > Disadv: > > > > Hangry: Increased Unrest/Unstability when food is low. - Lowers max unrest by 30% when there is a food deficit. > > > > Pacifist: Lowered Strength when attacking unless Stalwart Protectors advantage is active. - -20% offensive power when attacking. > > > > Tropics-born: Lowered Endurance and Agility when in below freezing temperatures. - -30 agility and -20 endurance in cold climates, pop generates unrest in cold climates, -15 agility and -10 endurance in arid climates. > > > > Description: Large, long creatures, they never stop growing throughout their lifetime, only becoming stronger - but more lethargic. They are considered adults once they reach lengths of upwards of 30 feet, and by this time are covered in natural, scale like armor, and have an exoskeleton tougher than an iron clad beetles - not even a diamond tipped drill can pierce it. This armor is proportionately more durable as their size scales, practically indestructible and impenetrable by the time they are adults, even the joints being more than sufficiently armored. > > > > They have a giant, pincer like tail, six legs and two five fingered arms, four fingers manipulatory and a long middle finger acting as a giant natural switchblade-like appendage. > > > > They have spines on their faces, large exoskeletal horns and giant decorative feather like protrusions from nearby their four eyes in each side of their face, one main one and three smaller ones per side. They also have long antennae used for sensing their environment, even in pitch black. > > > > They can go fairly fast, and have quick reaction time, and have large wings upon their back, similar to a dragonfly. > > > > They also have the ability to lower their mouth plate, revealing their true mouth and mouth-arms, and spit a large amount of webbing that they then can conduct bio electric shocks through. > > > > Their large size means they need a decent amount of food, else they go into a hibernating state, and if they are woken up and there is no food nearby they are destructive and very hangry > > > > They are largely jungle inhabitants, and fare poorly in colder climates. > > > > They also are known to have a molting period that can happen once every few years where there nigh invincible armor is shed so they can grow a new set. > **Civ** > > Name: Alliance of the Stars > > Species: Featherhorns (various other races intermittently, usually on a one by one basis - no official, large scale integrations that would affect the Civ as a whole though) > > Location: Large jungle area mostly encircled by a ‘mountain range’ (Frale you likely know what I am referring to) next to a wide, clear lake with broad shallows near their settlement. > > First Settlement: Solas Réalt > > Ring: Valmian Ring > > Description: A laid back civilization who values living in harmony with nature, but don’t use this to prevent progress, whether that be culturally or technologically, unless it is actively harmful to the environment or to others. This does not prevent hunting, but does encourage sustainable practices and prevent over hunting. Non-agreesive, but more than willing to defend themselves and others. Dislike the idea of betrayal and pre-emptive strikes and the like. Value food production highly, and encourage the following of passions over what is strictly necessary. Hope for a one day all race, all inclusive civilization, dislike racism or other kinds of large scale anti-group sentiments, even for things such as barbarians, cultists, necromancers, or the like. > > Culture: Extremely welcoming of outsiders, the Alliance of the Stars is not warlike but extremely powerful and scary when riled up. They will welcome anyone of any species, as long as they as an individual have not shown that they have continued, willfully overly violent tendencies, and even then they will simply guard them for a set period of time until the government feels they can be trusted. It is extremely difficult to find a corrupt Featherhorn, in fact most abhor the idea, but they also are not the most attentive of leaders, preferring to lie around when they don’t need to work to help stall the species tendency towards hangriness. The alliance will also happily perform large scale integrations with other species or civilizations, adopting or simply respecting their customs, and integrating their technology with the rest of the alliance’s while improving the newly integrated civs lives with theirs if they are willing. The alliance also values equal group representation, hence the four leaders at the beginning. Something worth noting is that they do not force integration, but tend to be fairly isolationist/private, though friendly, towards outside/non integrated civs once they make clear their intentions to not join together as one. > > However, the Civ does absolutely abhor the idea of splitting apart the Civ, and feels heavy responsibility if it ever were to happen. They will do their utmost to prevent the separation or reabsorb the separated nation, or at the very least stop them from causing trouble. Most of the latter half of the Civ stuff is just randomly placed rambling, which could be repeat information. I’ll likely also add to this continuously as the game develops and I figure out more about their culture and exact beliefs Edit: would like to note that exact stats of the advantages are not necessarily applicable - I’d appreciate if Titan’s of the Ancient Past could attack, for example, or if ‘that’ would come with its own unique benefits ---

The particles need to consume minerals to reproduce and harvest energy from surroundigs to continue functioning, if they do not consume magic, then they’ll end up turning into regular material. > The “Shellcores”, as they are called, are divided into 7 subspecies: > -Blue/Navy, which bears the Abiotic attribute, known from staying dormant most of the time. > -Cyan/Azure, which bears the Positive Energy attribute, known from having advanced technology. > -Green/Verdant, which bears the Resistance attribute, known from lying and spreading propaganda. > -Yellow/Olive, which bears the Biotic attribute, known from living in anarchistic society. > -Red/Crimson, which bears the Imperial attribute, known from raising collosal structures. > -Purple/Violet, which bears the Negative Energy attribute, known from spreading the word of truth. > -White/Colorblind, which bears the Diplomatic attribute, known from not caring about color of the Shellcores. > All Shellcores share the same “Core” and “Parts” blueprints, so they may look the same if they wish to. > Particles are only bond by magic, so if you shoot thru a Shellcore with an arrow, it will instantly “kill” it. Because of that, Shellcores never engage in physical combat, no matter the situation. > However, death isn’t the same for Shellcores as it is for Humans (for example). After “dying”, Shellcores will reassemble into a near-invisible cloud of particles, and subcounciosly reassembly into their more physical form at the nearest place they deem to be safe. Shellcores can only really die if they run out of magic, particles, or some vicious spell is used on them. > Shellcore have the ability of harvesting their own “Shell” layer (the layer whose main purpose is to protect the more delicate “Core”) and then, thru engineering which is second-nature to them, turning it into parts they can attatch to themselves in order to become stronger. Parts can be specialized for weaponry, abilities (such as temporary speed increase), drone spawns or passive abilities (such as speed increasement). > Shell can combine parts of Shell and an artificially-made Core in order to make Drone Blueprints, which will suck in any Shellcore particles from the surroundings and create a minion used in fighting and carrying resources - drones. > Shellcores cannot reproduce like the organisms of Earth, so they use another method - by producing enough particles and increasing their density in specific area, they can force the particles to assemble into a brand-new Shellcore. > > CIV > Name: Violaceunegans > Species: _Shellcorae Particuale_ (Violet subspecies) > Location: A steppe area with few trees, some rocks and grass. > First Settlement: “Veriturbs” > Ring: Larmian ring > Description: A group of Violet Shellcores which have started living together in order to create safe place for reassemblies. > Culture: Violet Shellcores value truth the most, and so lying doesn’t have a place in their’s society. Besides that, this Violet tribe is known from living in one area, as opposed to other subspecies that rather live in multiple settlements across an area. What to fix there?

i must join this, it seems too good not to > **civ** > > Name: children of Cthulhu > > species: inanis tentamenta > > location: a tall forest with little enough light that the floor has little to no plant life due to all of it being green and thus not taking in all the light, a river is nearby and there is plenty of fruit and plenty of motile prey as well > > first settlement: silvopidom > > ring: dralian ring > > description: a civilization of hunter-gatherers who mainly hunt and gather to get nutrients to replace nutrients lost through waste and to allow people to grow and repair themselves, most of the hunters spear prey with their tentacles while most of the gatherers grab fruit they can’t reach with their arms using their tentacles, though plenty of the gatherers instead use their tentacles as spider legs and extend them to reach the fruit or push their tentacles out of their backs to make wings and fly to reach the fruit, though all of those are also tactics some of the hunters use as well. > > culture: the children of Cthulhu take pride in their creativity and speed. they will never stand for putting others down for no reason or preventing anyone from being themself when nobody is hurt by it, the children of cthulu like lots of spices on their food and actively seek out things they haven’t eaten yet to see if they’re any good, the taste testers are always ones who can create something as big as or larger than a lion with their tentacles since they’d only get sick if it’s poisonous but the ones who can only create a small tentacle will die if it’s poisonous. the leader is always chosen from a combination of election and several trials to see if they are fit to be a leader, if a leader wants to stay a leader they must retake these tests every 4 years with the result of failure being demotion to working class > > > **species** > > > > Common name: voidspawn > > scientific name: inanis tentamenta > > > > * * * > > > > Attributes: > > >

evasion and block rolls and +5 to rolls to hit things, mana scales\[3\] > > > > disadvantages: light weakness\[4\]. magic dependency\[5\], eldritch abomination: xenophobic species will have base relation points with this species of -100 > > > > * * * > > > > description: a species of eldritch horror that can never be illuminated enough to be lit up at all, can use its tentacles for pretty much anything including but not limited to: flying, yeeting buildings\[6\], holding up buildings after they have lost all structural support\[7\], armor that can move to protect weak spots, bladed weapons\[8\], battering rams, hammers, moving like a cephalopod or an arachnid, unspeakable tentacle deeds, etc. the downside?: they can easily die if they have too little mana, though that’s not much of a risk in the middle ring since they absorb it faster than they can use it, they can photosynthesize at the same amount of sugar production per surface area as an earth plant in a cave with the only light source being a small rock with a moderately strong aura of “eat belgium and perish” energy, though the cost of this is they will peel like an onion if they get too close to a star without proper protective gear. and due to being an eldritch abomination all xenophobes hate them by default, though as a result of that their neurons are extremely fast allowing for reaction time only a fly hopped up on adrenaline could top, their main visible defining trait is their glowing purple fingernails and their ability to slice the strongest of swords with a single tentacle by encasing it in purple glowing scales that fuse together into an extremely small line * * * 1. the cells of this organism cannot let light escape without being punctured and thus have adapted to turn it all into usable energy to protect themselves from extreme damage, the organism is the blackest possible black and thus cannot be perceived by anything that fills in gaps in its vision, removes need to eat with the exception of growing, removes need to breathe oxygen 2. the organism can seemingly create almost indestructible tentacles darker than the deepest depths of the Mariana trench from thin air, in reality though there is no matter being created as the tentacles are grown in a pocket dimension only accessible to the tentacles and not to anything else but the organism’s blood which is constantly flowing through the tentacles. the tentacles can be cut with a stone knife if they can’t access any mana, tentacle durability and hardness scale with mana concentration and anger. tentacles can be made any thickness or length and weight depends on the organism’s mana capacity, tentacles can be shaped into many things 3. the organism can use mana to cover any part of its body in indestructible, flexible scales that have a hardness of 11(there’s actually a mineral that has this hardness value called [lonsdaleite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonsdaleite) but natural specimens have too many impurities to reach it) and can take any shape scales naturally come in including teeth. any organism with this ability can use it to create shields as big as they can spread their body and will hardly ever need armor, though due to how this ability works simply deactivating mana usage won’t destroy the scales as they are crystallized mana that only need mana to be used to flex or disintegrate, this also allows the scales to be used as mana storage, it’s pretty easy to tell when this ability is active due to the dull purple glow given off by the scales in the presence of mana and/or light, though if the organism this trait was evolved by uses it under its skin the most damage you’ll be able to them is a flesh wound and whatever weapon you used will likely break, and due to their inability to let light out of their cells while having the ability to let it in, they are able to use this to photosynthesize in complete darkness, +indestructible fingernails cause who needs keratin when you have indestructible mana crystals, +15 endurance 4. as a result of the organism’s cells not being able to let light out it cannot go in areas more than 10 times as bright as earth in the middle of a hot summer day without getting extreme sunburn, this can be negated by clothes as long as they cover enough skin 5. the organism requires mana to use the pocket dimensions used by {shadow tentacles} and if they run out of mana any tentacles not actively out will be severed and will cause the organism to become extremely sick if the tentacles do not re connect before they die,

(+15 cooperation) > > Minor mind control - They can influence the thoughts of anyone to like them more. (+15 charisma) > > Disadvantage: > Otherworldly Hunger - They feed off of magic itself, requiring them to eat magical plants and animals, this forces them into the inner rings until they have the technology to harvest magic from the world itself. > > Description: > The Lohendral are long, semi-transparent creatures covered in large feathers, they have many small, nearly invisible eyes covering their body, 6 arms hanging off of their body, and use magic to fly far above the ground. They typically form small groups, drifting through the air looking for anything that will allow them access to magic, so they can feed. They are very friendly to other intelligent creatures, but if attacked, they will attempt to signal as many other Lohendral as they can, and will relentlessly fight the attacker(s). > **Civ** > > Name: The Lohendral Commune > > Species: Lohendral > > Location: A lush magical forest, next to a winding river, full of magic sources to feed on. > > First Settlement: Havonchir > > Ring: Innermost > > Description: > The Lohendral Commune is very exploratory, always looking for new places to settle, and always trying to make new discoveries. They don’t care for interaction with other civilizations, and are entirely focused on improving their own society. > > Culture: > The commune has no privacy, they all share thoughts, so they have learned to function as a collective, and care little for individuals, including themselves. Most of anything anyone does is to benefit everybody, and doing anything for any other reason is extremely rare and highly discouraged, the rare selfish individual is often banished or killed in the name of maintaining order.

> [@fralegend015](#): > > That would need to be its own indipendent advantage. they don’t grow or shrink their main body, the reason their size depends on emotions and what they’re doing is the tentacles, mainly because they aren’t always out or even on the same plane as the organism they’re attached to, also the adult base size can vary as well and that’s just a result of not being genetically identical [Next page](https://community.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/londorion/6911.md?page=2)
