I was watching Thor: The Dark World, and thought to myself "Self, what if each world was a kingdom? And what if each kingdom was ruled by a different civilized race, and opposed by a different uncivilized race?".
And that's what the last post was for.
And it ties into this one: http://secretsoftheshadowend.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-voriskoghn-concepts.html
And that's all I'm saying for now, except that I have a new copy of the Dictionary of Imaginary Places, and I'm takin' notes.
Well, it can be questioned as to whether or not the Giants can be called "civilized races." ;)
ReplyDeleteHehehehehehehe!
Yeah, I'm thinking that some giants could be more civilized than ordinarily presented in D&D (although cloud giants, fire giants, and frost giants are all pretty cultured), and in other cases humans might be more present/interwoved in giant society than normal. In the Mabinogion, for example, there are giants that swear allegiance (after being defeated) to King Arthur.

ReplyDeleteinteresting thoughts.
