They are returning. Awakening from a slumber beyond comprehension to mortals. Awakening to a world they once tried to claim. They promise much to their followers, and to their enemies they will deliver blood, fire, and death.

The coming chaos is a rebirth of a fire long thought quenched. The Akashic records recall the Age when the world was ripe with pretenders, a legion claiming divinity. Then the antokrator ascended to true godhood. Bearing dominion over all, from the Heavens down to the deepest recesses of the ocean, the Pantokrator hunted down the false pretenders, casting them into eternal imprisonment. Not all pretenders were vanquished though; indeed, a great many managed to hide away and bide their time.

Now a new Age has dawned. The Pantokrator is gone. And now the pretenders who cowered beneath the Pantokrator's rule all those long years dare to show themselves again. Moreso, their newly remembered hubris has led once more to a war for true ascension to godhood. But they are not alone.

The ancient ones banished by the Pantokrator have broken their shackles. They are awakening.

There can only be one. A new chapter in the Akashic records is about to be written in the tattered flesh of the fallen...

That intro was swiped directly from dominons page (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/DOM3/DOM3_page.html)

so Dominins is a turn-based 4x fantasy game and my first attempt to LP,
for my part i will try to make some form of a story as i play trough,

as for your involvement, if you wish you may submit a name for a commander,
and if you feel so inclined make some in character posts to deepen the story,

but for the start we will need a name for our pretendor,
so suggest a name of vote for the one already suggested,

i will try to go into further detail of the game in the next post,
feel free to ask any questions and let's try to get this thing started.:smallsmile:

I've played the demo of this game and loved it. Do you have a Pretender form and civilization picked out or can we choose? First suggestion for a name is obviously The Giant.

I think that the Mother of Monsters sounds best.

I really like Headless Ninja's suggestion: it would be awesome if you gave the game "Giant(s) in the Playground" theme: either a titan-sized pretender, or one of the giant nations. :smallsmile:

Have you decided on the nation yet? Ashdod is one of the more powerful races, and it would be awesome to read about all the smackdown some old-school angels can inflict.

Yeah, The Giant seems pretty fitting :smallwink:

I think I'll be watching this LP quite closely. I enjoyed the demo a lot, and would like to see a proper game.

"The Giant" it is, and I will use one of the giat races,
but we still have no comanders :smallfrown:

first one in gets to be :smallcool:"the prophet":smallcool:

Suggesting commanders would be kind of easier if we knew which race you were using.

I think he means just for names. And Headless Ninja is obviously the prophet, since he came up with The Giant idea.

Feel free to put Endoperez in there somewhere.

Ah yeah, put me down for that as well.

Heh, I'm not overly worried about being prophet if someone else would like to. Would be nice to have a commander named after me, though. Mainly I'm just here to see how a full game of this plays out, although IC posts could be fun.

Bolvitners journal

At end of the last age grate empires fell , without guidance to lead them most of them were reduced to small bickering provinces constantly warring one another,
Now with sudden appearance of this new god, The Giant, people are again filled with hope, hope of their prayers being answered.
I however remain suspicious, mostly of his heralds, the witches covenant, those old hags are up to something, I better keep my eye on them.
For now I shall head east, and do my lords bidding, it's been a while since i left home, it feels good to be on the road again.
