Yeah, I definitely remembered you had at ...Thanks! Yeah, I definitely remembered you had at least one region where daemons failed to tread, and I remembered your comments here about the Oinodaemon, so Preservation is a bit of an homage to both those things. I would have to go back to <i>Horsemen</i> to see what lore made it in or out, but I'm pretty sure you got the point about Balishek's Crater across. <br /><br />And "something bad-even-by-the-standards-of-evil happened here" is always a good excuse for putting a semi-safe base on an evil plane. :-)<br /><br />You're right, there was only one Crawling City in Gehenna! Whoops. This is always the trade-off with this blog. If I compose at lunch like I'm supposed to, I end up playing fast and loose with the details; when I compose at home, what I gain in accuracy I lose in precious, precious sleep.Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551888121167330346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903836431528017500.post-20948618695651628152013-03-07T06:19:02.821-08:002013-03-07T06:19:02.821-08:00There were some really cool ideas here. The notion...There were some really cool ideas here. The notion of lesser daemons dropping off of them like parasites is a crazy cool visual, as is thinking about the Crawling City of Gehenna being a single gigantic olethrodaemon. Nice stuff!<br /><br />The line in the City of Preservation alluding to sites associated with the Oinodaemon being something of a taboo for daemons, that's my thinking as well. I think I outright suggested it with the location of Balishek's Crater, but off the top of my head I don't recall what history got cut for space regarding previous Horsemen killed by the First to prove a point. I like to think that even though relatively few daemons know that the Oinodaemon actually existed, anything associated with him/her/it is going to act on them regardless, and they'll be unwilling to approach locations of objects sufficiently touched out of fear more than anything else.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02676993031576156056noreply@blogger.com
