420 Done - 54 To Go
As my father says, we're "within spittin' distance". This may be a bit cryptic to those of you not directly involved in the project, but I enjoy wordclouds and needed to share this.
158, two mile hexes.
Three points of interest per hex.
420 Points of Interest done, and wordclouded for analysis (i.e., are we being boring and redundant with something, or does it seem pretty flavorful?)
54 to go.
So much more to come!

Lady Hedonia [NSFW]
Phenomenally exciting news: Artist officially on board!Our first content/pitch milestone is coming up next week, so we won't be posting any of our regularly scheduled content this week. Every free moment for the next several days is going to be nothing but SFI.
In the meantime, please enjoy the following concept for our very own Lady Hedonia. This lovely ruler of the 736 layer of the Abyss enjoys long slithers on the beach, smoking from her hooka of a thousand flavors, and endlessly battling her neighbors for absolute dominance.
See her headshot below the break. Warning... there are tits.
So much more to follow in the coming weeks!

·
First
floor ceiling height 10'

·
The ground
floor is built into a hill, and the first floor rises out of the hill with no
egress.
Originally
built as a forward outpost by some Druegar, the chapel now known as Consecration
has had a long past of housing evil inhabitants. The last evil denizen, a lich
named Guris was slain by a band of adventurers several years ago. The cleric of
the group, Brother Bourvon, spent three months clearing, cleaning and
consecrating the dungeon in the name of his god.
When it
was finished he attempted to gift it to the local magistrate and church, but
they refused, insisting he keep and maintain it as a bastion of the light.
After a year, Bourvon had attracted a small following of 12-15 followers.
Despite their good natures, most of these followers lacked formal education or
training, so Bourvon rearranged Consecration to focus more on education than
faith.
Bourvon's
most trusted assistants are Sister Vera Pristain, and Sir Kesher Jaylor. Vera
was one of this first people to come to the church. She learned the ways of a
cleric, traveled the lands for five years, and then returned to the church to
teach new initiates. Kesher was once a notorious local bandit leader who was
converted by Bourvon. Kesher is now a fierce defender of the order. He trains
initiates in martial pursuits.

Telecanter Thursdays
Every week we dream up three magic items using Telecanter's Epic Table of Spell Like Effects.Gordon's Lazy Mining Bag - 013
 |
| Distance - Utility, Utility - 50 - 1 day - Animate - Metal Attribution: Graysonline |
Speaking the word will have one of two effects depending on whether the backpack is empty or full.
If Gordon's Lazy Mining Bag is empty and the word SAMMOBOSH is spoken, all raw metal ore within a 50' radius will begin to animate, ripping its way out of the ground/rock, and fly into the bag. Only enough ore to fill the bag will come up out of the ground. Anyone, or anything, in the radius will likely be severely damaged (excepting the bag itself). If there is insufficient ore within the radius to fill the bag, it will still work, but only partially fill the bag. Note: this animation only works on raw metal ore, not finished metal goods
If Gordon's Lazy Mining Bag contains ore, the user can throw the ore out, speak the command word, and the thrown ore will form into: A bridge, stairs, or a wall. If the bag is completely full, the object created can have a volume of approximately 50 cubic feet. This object can be created within 50' of the bag, as willed by the user.
Each effect can only be used once per day.
The Bridle of the Crystal Steed [Artifact] - 014
 |
| Wielder - Defense - 10 - Permanent - Evoke - Mineral Attribution: talos00 - Equus Libris |
When the bit is placed on the horse and latched together it taps into a demi-plane of gems. Over the course of an evening of wearing the bit, the mount becomes made of living crystal. The crystal is transparent with small whorls of clouds, and it glows with the power of the creatures soul. In the case of the Paladin's divine bonded mounts the transformed creature glows in a luminous manner.
After becoming crystal, the mount's defense is increased dramatically (as if they are wearing full war plate) but their movement speed remains the same. The mount also no longer need to eat or sleep.
The way these mounts catch and refract light (both their internal light and external light) causes the creature to have a dazzling aura of about 10' which can also amplify any "inspirational" effects caused by the soul of the creature.
The artifact is neutral in its nature, and numerous groups of evil aligned humanoids have sought to make the bridle their own, 'cause let's face it, who wouldn't want to use this on a nightmare?
The Golden Face - 015
 |
| Touch - Transport - 20 - 1 turn - Animate - Fire Attribution: buddhafiguren.de |
Some of the stones in the headdress are missing, and scratches that appear to have been made by a dagger or pry-bar are visible. Touching the object causes any flames IN THE ROOM to instantly expand and fill a 20' area with normal flame. After a full turn of being engulfed by the normal fire, anything that was touched by it is transported to the Plane of Fire.

The School of the Four Winds
 |
| Click to download a free pdf |
Group Name: The School of the Four Winds
A.K.A.:
The Way of Siriana, The Way, The Winds
Group Mark: "The Sun Above the Mountain" and "The Mark
of the World"
Group Colors: Each of the four schools wear a specific shade of blue,
ranging from dark to almost white, that they accent in orange with their
personal style (gems, embroidery, trim, etc).
Goals:
Train young sorcerers to embrace the strength that can only be found through
helping others.
Leader's Goals: Siriana Mistweaver works tirelessly to find and train
young sorcerers to learn to use their innate power, and eventually help those
in need.
Individual Goals: The Master of the Desert School, Farandi, believes that
sorcerers should rule, spreading right through might instead of using their
gift to selflessly helping the needy (and unappreciative). He does not actively
seek followers, but his stance is firm and his voice is loud, and he has
attracted a small following of passionate, hot headed sorcerers. Some students
whisper that the Desert School must eventually leave the teachings of Siriana
behind.

Diamondskin's Arena
The lizardman
Vascar Diamondskin runs an arena out of a large cavern in the contested borderlands
between two countries. The cavern is set within an old crumbling limestone
hill and the floor is covered in smooth soft sand. A number of large,
natural skylights, keep the cavern well lit, but the crumbling ceiling can
occasionally drop rocks and dirt 50' onto unsuspecting arena patrons.
Despite the occasional crumbles, the ceiling is in no danger of fully
collapsing, and anything that does fall is quickly cleaned up by Vascar's
crew.
Fight
nights draw large crowds that range from passing adventurers, mercenary bands,
gangs of outlaws, off duty soldiers looking for fun, and the occasional
wanted man looking to make quick coin before trying to disappear. Since
most of the spectators are relatively local, the arena clears out pretty
rapidly once the fight is done, and nights with no fights can be quite
peaceful in this large cavern. There is a small sleeping area for travelers
and, since any thievery is punished by immediate death, it tends to be a
pretty safe place to stay, no matter who you are. Food and drink are
provided by vendors, but the vendors and the prices change with the winds.
The patrons are ever changing as well, there are regulars of course but the
majority.

Telecanter Thursdays
Every week we dream up three magic items using Telecanter's Epic Table of Spell Like Effects.You can see past weeks here: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3
Maximilian's Top - 010
 |
| Wielder - Utility - 70 - Instant - Dispel/Disappear - Air Attribution: Garage Wood Shop |
When Maximilian's Top stops spinning, all air within a 70' radius is instantly sucked into the top. This effect can be used once per day.
Some scholars doubt that the top is actually made of something as plain as ebony and gold because no matter how horrific the implosion caused by the immediate evacuation of air from the room, the top always appears to be in pristine condition.
Pria's Crystal Earrings - 011
 |
| Touch - Defense - 10 - 1 hour - Animate - Water Attribution: Kolstrom Kreations |
No one in the court had seen this man before, and none have seen him since, but he is attributed with turning the tide of war, and saving their lands from destruction. Pria was initially shocked that this man would waste her time with trinkets, when the fate of Rilio hung so precariously, but the beauty of the flashing blue crystals on platinum hooks could not be denied, and once the man showed her their power she knew that her people would forever be in his debt.
If the earrings are thrown into water (of any volume), they cause the water to animate and form two swan shaped water guardians. These guardians will defend the owner of the earrings for one full hour, soaking up incoming damage and actively fighting any fires within 10 feet. This power can be used up to four times per day.
The Fire Kingdom's hordes were pushed back, and Pria secured victory for her people at last. Joy turned to wonder though when on the first night of a full moon following the Fire Kingdom's defeat, Arch-Duchess Pria disappeared. The earrings, along with a complete plan of succession, and a single white swan feather, was found in her bed chamber the next morning. The Arch-Duchess was never seen again, but some of the scullery maids claim they saw two swans fly across the moon that night.
The Creator's Gloves - 012
 |
| Area Effect - Utility - 70 - 1 turns - Divine - Earth Attribution: Samuel Lee |
Should the wearer of these gauntlets punch the ground, golden light will stream through the terrain for 70' feet. The wearer of the gauntlets will then be able to use his mind to shape the earth into any form he desires.
The user should be careful though as any use of these gauntlets, regardless of the intent or results, will attract the attention of 1d4+2 gods or demi-gods.
