It appears Sauromatia already has an astral income. Thanks for showing me our armies, Reno.

What star children do you speak of? Remember, at this point R'lyeh proper is still falling from the sky. Aboleths rule the seas, and a giant shard of flaming gas hasn't squashed them yet.

...why you gotta ruin my fun like that? I meant it in a metaphorical sense anyhow ;P

Aboleths aren't star children, even metaphorically. They're not into rad new crazes like mind-altering drugs or bowing down to the might of Yoth'Shothogg (They've been doing that for millenia). They haven't introduced any new concepts to the world(since they're, you know, about as old as the world), or, well, anything that "star children" might do. Other than conquering the planet and enslaving the lesser races, of course.

Christians say the Earth is 5000 years old, scientists say 3.5-4.5 billion years. Let's split the difference and call it 1.75 billion years old.

Yoth'Shothogg is only a spry 3850!

Then again, the land of Ascendant could be anywhere from 5000 (and everyone older than that migrated here) to an infinite amount of years old.

Ok I'm stopping now. Please let's not continue this topic as it's probably too geeky even for Dominions forums.

I never said my pretender was as old as Ascendant, nor any of the individual Aboleths. Only the Aboleth race as a whole.

By the way, Reno, why is your pretender right next to one of my provinces? I still don't get it.

Vooosh!

To Renojustin :
What do you say? Actual age of land of Ascendant is very fine topic!

Unfortunately, Acashic Records do not provide a paleonthological data for us to analyse. So it would be very inconclusive discussion...

Renojustin · #10 April 29th, 2008, 02:28 PM

Ahhh but Acashic Records reveal everything. They start by measuring the half-life of certain rare compounds such as Rubinium and Succubinium. Then they go on to buy a round of drinks for everyone at the bar, and as we all know, bar gossip is one of the main ways of finding specific information that you need to know in a fantasy world.

We'll need a strong Astral mage to cast it; where's Yoth'Shothogg? ...but then it would probably lie about it to suit its own unknowable, nefarious purposes! And then there's Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

Perhaps we'll never know for sure just how old the ancient and sacred land of Ascendant is. The only thing we can be certain of is that it is the birthplace of a GOD!!
