Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

In real life a lot of this comes from brain chemistry and from fear of loss. This is one of the reasons I think reincarnation type of immortality I made is better than eternal youth. You get to be restored to your prime, which shakes your perspective.

Also, society of immortals will, in my opinion, be more willing to take risks, than a society of mortals, which means more social and other experimentation.
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the city of endings has legal gladiatorial combat. Bunch of bored old fucks some of which wanna die might wanna do high risk combat first.

And now we need to get the Summoning path so we can summon our royal bodyguards to battle. Should be the next thing we study with Harry. Or we could always go to the university in our new realm. They probably have summoning classes and tutors available for the ruler.
Sure. Game mechanically wise though do you think we're going to have a requisitions budget when it comes to services from our hell?

Yeah, want this, and I'm all aboard the Yog train with the Fivefold Courts of Fate, read all of that and want to see it bloom..

What's that you say? Every single seer on the planet just passed out screaming "the Devil is Here"? The Archive just doubled in power and passed out (maybe)? What few prophecies hadn't already shattered since Molly left Arctis Tor just disintegrated?

Let's. Go.

Considering the view of the fivefold courts, fighting to the death probably isn't that uncommon especially in the ring of battles, 'normal' death is something the citizens risk and endure all the time for whatever reasons, and they are no more afried of dying then you would be afraid of going to sleep at night.

This will be a novel way to test the archive's limitations if you guys choose a hell that has a population and the written word.
 
Well if she is granted words from our dimensions history well I'd have to get a promise of her advising us on the words from our hells history. Cause fuck giving that knowledge for free well unless she just gets it. In which case let bygones be bygones. Also if she can't do it at all then the deal is null obviously.
 
I meant it more as in 'can she perceive it'. Strange and very very old metaphysical interactions are in play there.
Hmm, could those old magics cause a version of the Archive to spontaneously appear in our Hell, one that knows all of the written words that have retroactively been created?

That seems unlikely, the archive is at the end of the day a being of the material world and more to the point she is linked to a bloodline with a specific purpose of helping to fight the Oblivion War. While there might be knowlege relevant to that in Molly's hell the question is would her creators have thought of that,
 
Personally, I have no interest in this as an option for our Hell, @uju32. We need a much larger Hell from the get go, IMO, so that our population has a justifiable reason to be numerous and prosperous, not having developed on a tiny sliver of land.
Plus it's just more fun.

I don't know about you guys but I want to see a living planet wake up and say hello; something primordial and crazy, hellish and grand, not as some reasonable pocket realm that middling powers might acquire.

Guess I should vote too, not that it matters here.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall of the Yama King's offices (or thronerooms for the less modern ones).
Because this right now is the sign that the window of opportunity to reclaim the Exaltation has closed.
Before we might have been up there with an Elder Akuma, now we are up in the big leagues, even if we can't use it all at once.

Well it's possible that our hell might out live us. I am given to overstand that most of the current Yama kings stole their hells from someone else.

I'd really love an interlude composed of different powers and players capable of sensing The Opening of the Door and their reaction to it.
...Assuming anyone can sense it, that is. Can they? This seems like something that would make spiritual waves. Those that can sense our "archdevil on vacation" aura would surely feel a new Hell appearing, right?

It's not safe for them to be around you, no matter what you do or what you might teach them there is nothing that would make them able to stand up to the likes of Broken Seeker. Your words to dad and Harry come back to haunt you even as you can hear the car behind you. He's not even that big.

It's not safe...Nowhere is safe...

In the dark behind your eyelids
In the quiet between heartbeats
In the place where you are whole
In the stillness of your soul

A gear, a lock clicks
A door shifts


Do you open it?

There is no question there, no hesitation, nothing against, this was wanted since some time, planned for, now is the moment of thruth, the revelation of our glory in full, the first of the biggest steps.
 
Some did. Some made their own. Others were given their realms by God and moved them to Yomi Wan when they became Yama Kings.
So the response of the Yama kings is likely to want to try and steal our hell somehow. The most obvious way being to capture and craft Molly into some sort of living portal. Easier said than done.

It depends on if Molly's Hell is bordering on the other Hells or the paths between them. Just because it's in Molly's soul doesn't mean it's not also in Yomi Wan.
 
… Once we have a proper hell, including the ability for jades to naturally occur, will we also technically be able to buy souls via the same mechanisms as the Yama Kings?

Not that Molly would*, but it'd be an interesting character moment for her to realize she technically has the ability provided she could source the power for her end of the bargain.

* Unless we cheesed it somehow I guess? Leasing a soul to give permanent power ups and then giving it back at the end of the term. Since you can keep your powers from the soul trade if you manage to buy it all back or your patron dies it's clearly not something that requires an active bond to support.

It's a new independent act of creation right? Patterned after the Primordials making legitimately new stuff instead of "just" forming something out of the existing universe.

If I understand correctly this is the next best thing to "let there be light", possibly being the only time since then it's happened since then.

Sure it's highly atemporal, but so are a lot of people at the higher levels. Feels like some of them should notice.

Personally I'm hoping for an Archangel interrupt, especially since a Sword is right there.

It can't be stolen, it's literally her soul. We can sell that, but it can't be taken.
