2023 "Tales of Leinyere" Story Event: Official Support Thread

[Rustyoznail]

Just a question, which is repeated on the Geek Pride thread. My story is about testing a VR game. Would anyone object if I based it on the "Tales of Leinyere" world?

@Nouh_Bdee, particularly since it's your idea.

Cheers

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

I say go for it!

I think this is a fine way to avoid pushing the multiverse ship completely out of the harbor. Go for it.

 

[Rustyoznail]

No worries, I'll give it a go. Hopefully I'll have it done in time.

FYI a new part to my story just dropped https://literotica.com/s/kyra-and-the-swordstress-pt-06

I added some more detail about the city Talishpur. Once a powerful naval empire that grew powerful through banking, its a city that's enjoying a peaceful twilight by the time my story takes part, which I guess is later. I've modeled it after Renaissance cities like Florence and Venice and all the intrigue, culture, and architectural beauty implied. It enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate, and is renown around Leinyere for its many festivals, particularly the once a decade festival dedicated to its patron the God of Pleasure, Aersus.
I've also added some more gods/ancients to the pantheon related to Aersus. Calantha, his wife, the Goddess of Pain. Lydora the Goddess of the feminine, his daughter, Arion, the God of the masculine, his son. Zaria the androgynous progeny of Lydora and Arion, the god/goddess of beauty. Erydor, the God of spring and youthfulness and Faela the nymph lover to Aersus and Calantha, the goddess of the senses.

Sorry if this conflicts with anyone else's idea but I'm having a ton of fun adding a bit to the world. I think I missed my calling by never playing D&D hehe

 

[Rustyoznail]

Sounds great Jackie. It is a fun world to play in.

Hellooo... I'm trying to get out in front of this event with a story of my own this time around. Yes, I write slowly. Any word on a 2024 edition?

Leinyere is taking a year off. Sorry!
I’m planning on a 2025 event

No worries! Gives me more time to prepare, lol.

Thank you.

If there will be Tales of Leinyere Event in 2025 I will reserve Part three of the Wood Knot Warrior for that. I have PLENTY of other stories to keep me occupied until then.

 

[AllenWoody]

Hi everyone…. I swear there was a section on Leinyere religion but now I can’t find it here. Help a brother out?

I’m looking for an ‘evil’ religion, the kind that would have dark rites including human sacrifice. If there already is one I’d rather utilize it than make one up unnecessarily.

Cats are sacred to her; they watch, and they tell her what they see, and the bones of any bird or mouse a cat brings to you can be used to divine the future. She carries the souls of the dead to the underworld, and she brings new infant souls up into Life. She receives seed (heh heh) and returns new life to the soil.

That's about right. I don't recall any truly dark deities, but I haven't read everything.

I would assume @AllenWoody, that you could create a cult quite nicely and not stray from the rough line. Maybe throw in some disparaging remarks about the mainstream Gods.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Oh.. btw I took the liberty to add minor deities to the Pantheon of Aersus in Kyra and the Swordstress

Lydora, daughter of Aersus, the Goddess of Femininity and Love.

Arion, Aersus's son, the God of Masculinity and Passion.

Zaria, the androgynous progeny of Lydora and Arion, the God/Goddess of beauty.

Calantha, the Goddess of Pain. Aersus's wife.

Erydor, the God of spring and youthful innocence

Faela the nymph, Goddess of the senses, lover to Aersus and Calantha both.

I also wrote a sort of bookend epigraph to tell an account of how Aersus was once the steward of the "golden groves", and was condemned to forever wander the forlorn ravine after he was caught teaching the mortals music, poetry, bodily pleasures, and winemaking, and how it was Calantha that fell in love with him and rescued him.

Hope that's fine! Not sure where I can add them for posterity.

And thus, the Cult of the Scorpion was born!
