Woo.

Been a very long while since I last posted anything.

Here's the new stuff that I'm ready to put up. I'll just copy it here from the blog:

''The Pillars of Eternity: The Pillars of Eternity are three massive monoliths of black stone, individually known as the Pillar of Body, the Pillar of Soul, and the Pillar of Power. On their surface is carved the story of the Primals and their civilisation, which occured in the previous - now non-existent - timeline. They were created by the Primals and are unbound by time, allowing them to remain unaffected by the change to the timeline. However, though the surfaces are carved with the story, only Hallows - those who wield the remnants of the Primals' power - are capable of reading them. The Pillars are also sources of great power, imbued with the Aether and Commandments of the Primal Kings who created them. Should a shard of a Pillar be removed (no easy feat - the pillars are immensely durable, designed to outlast the universe itself), it can be used by a wielder as an unlimited energy source, to protect the wielder against changes to the timeline, or even used to artificially gain the power of a Commandment (though the power would be of the Primal who created it, and not be instinctively understood by the new user). The Pillars exist on all layers of the world, having identical locations in the True World, Neverworld, and the Afterworld, though they are well hidden, often within the depths of the earth. However, the true purpose of the Pillars is not to simply serve as a record of a no longer existent timeline. Rather, they are seals against the return of Deus, a powerful Primal who chose the path of conquest over the path of observation. Each Pillar bars a fundamental concept of Deus from across all of time and space, respectively holding back the very concepts of his body, soul, and power from ever existing, and constantly binding and maintaining laws in the fabric of reality that prevent his return.''

Painfully, I just found out "Pillars of Eternity" is the name of a game and so it definitely coprighted, which means I need to come up with a new name for these things.

Primals are the new name for the First, and they now come from the previous timeline and were almost all wiped out (along with their timeline) by the creation of these Pillars in a desperate last-ditch effort to take down Deus.
