I love the Wanderers. I can't wait to find some excuse for Margaret to get involved with them.
The Warlocks are interesting too. About time there was some Wizarding counterparts.

I get what a Wanderer is, but what do they do? Anyone got any examples of a typical Wanderer activity? You know, whenever they're not absorbed in their own rituals.
I'd imagine dealing with their Pantheon's wishes - which may vary, considering the depth of their gods. Seeing as their "star-gods" are Lovecraftian entities, I doubt they have anything but greed in mind for Althanas, which serves currently as a "gateway" in the multiverse; a sort of universal plane that encompasses so many factors that things such as Liquid Time affect it constantly. However, despite this, Althanas remains utterly Unique amongst its reflections and refractions in the multiverse; making it valuable to such entities like the Elven star-gods or my own Judges. Creature who can, by conquering Althanas, take the essence of that Uniqueness and convert it into pure power or, in the Lovecraft case, food.Originally Posted by Wanderer
That's on my end of the spectrum, anyways. In which case, I can imagine they would be doing everything they could to help speed that conquering process up. Seeing as, as Caden said, most of these Outsiders are too strong to make a physical appearance on Althanas's material plane, they use mere mortals as their pawns.
But, also as he said, this is public domain. It's up to you.
Monsters.
Monsters who dragged people into the darkness and inflicted unspeakable torments upon them for pleasure - and I should know. They'd done it to me once.
Monsters whose existence was a plague upon millions.
Monsters who had taken my child.
A man once wrote: Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. Tolkien had that one mostly right.
I stepped forward, let the door bang closed and snarled, "Fuck subtle."

I could see Cael becoming a Wanderer Bard, but after BEEEEEEEES I don't see the Elves welcoming him with open arms.
If I could make it work in life like it works on paper,
If the love that I describe could be anything but words,
Then I would wipe my eyes, I'd dry this ink,
I'd trade my pen in for a pair of wings and I would fly...
If only I could make it work in life.

I'm already cribbing the shit out of the College Arcana write-up and inserting canon every which way all over the place. You can't stop me! Nobody can!
Also I think the inside of the College Arcana looks like the inside of the buildings of the Kingdom of Zeal from Chrono Trigger.
Effing love that game.

Double posting.
Caden, is there anything that separates Witches from Wizards in your view, or are Witches just female versions of the Wizards? Only reason I ask is because there are no real Witches on Althanas that I know of (save Denebriel?) and Stella is thinking of making one herself. I know, I know, you said it's all public domain and whatnot, but having a small guideline is nice.
Oh, and I'm still working on that Wizard. Still.

Oh? No witches huh? Really?
Hey, hey, I said "to my knowledge".
