Promising Unofficial EtG Cosmology

[treebeard xiii]

as i replied other to the first poll I am giving my take on the world of elements.

I feel the world or elements is a universe governed by twelve ruling factions (the elements). This universe is made up of planets and wormholes that open pathways to rival element dominions allowing these factions to war with one another.

each planet is either neutral (other) or affiliated to one or more factions each one providing the resources for the elementalists to unleash their untapped powers (quanta) or that allow the elementalists to learn new skills (spells and permanents) or recruit soldiers (creatures) for the neverending wars with the rival factions.

Each faction has a central hub where it can communicate with the residents of their dominion. Each hub is specialised to the factions essence aka. aether has an interdimensional ship, and life has a giant forest like ship.

Elemental should be a person who wields the elements (as you say, any being powerful enough to command/control lesser creatures, cast spells and manipulate permanents, but also being able to use raw power such as an elemental with a strong affinity for life being able to quicken and strength plant growth)

Elementalist should be a person who studies the elements. (aka, studying the powers and limits of elementals, studing the different kinds of spells and permanents to be used, studying raw power, etc, while not necessarily possessing these themselves)

One could be both an elemental and elementalist if they were so inclined or so talented.

A card should be a training device used for young, prospective elementals, to help them enhance their abilities (as you say, channel his/her power), but not required, and an experienced elemental would have no use for cards. Similarly, a deck is simply a collection of cards.

Quanta should be, as you say, a measure system to count the amount of pure, elemental energy an individual has. This is a really good way of putting it.

The elements themselves should be, as you say, the very materials from which the universe is made, and centers of pure energy where Elementals draw their power from. Also, they act as building blocks of nature and the universe, as the game's minimal lore itself implies.

The universe is something I'll leave to other people, because I've imagined it from small, isolated, far-spread pockets of elemental power, to vast and reaching empires with massive wars and territories between different elements, and basically anything in between.

Yes, it is still being worked on. Polls haven't closed yet, so you can cast your votes.

After these polls expire, there will be some more polls to determine some RPG-ish features of the creatures (and even maybe spells & permanents) as well as a few more polls to determine how a typical EtG civilization behaves. After that, the RPG will be probably launched.

When is the next poll coming?

Should I continue this project?

I think so, I really enjoy reading elements lore, official or otherwise.
