Week 4

[foundationmods]

It finally happened. Someone murdered, and was punished for it. After a particularly grueling trial, one much worse than the games ever were, everyone definitely needed the rest of the weekend to rest up. But now it is Monday once more, and that means it is time to get back to 'work'.

The cameras have moved again, and the contestants will need to be careful where they say what until their new locations have been revealed. In addition to that, the house itself seems to have changed, with its usual colorful appearance suddenly a bit more grey. Even the weather seems to be gloomy, with those storm clouds from last week starting to overcast the area, threatening to drop rain.

Seventeen contestants remain in this game of death. How many more will fall before the game is over? And how many more will be driven to murder?

There was no religion in your world?

[darkova]

There was, in a way. But all this organized doctrine and named beings...

On Erion, when you die you become one with the heavens, and can pray for it's bounty, or are sent to the Netherworld to be punished. But you can go to the Netherworld while living, if you know the way. I have done it myself more than once- 'Tis a place, not another world or state of being. I suppose it's pointless to build a sprawling belief system when you can literally prove what is or is not true.

I cannot speak for Sandalphon, but there was no organized doctrine in regards to what I am in my world. But several manmade religions did brush close to the truth.

[ But Netherworld stuff, huh. ]

I would expect the religion in your world to be centered about the tales and myths of the Netherworld. Before mankind was able to routinely reach all the continents of the world, there were many superstitions about the relatively unexplored land.

Did your journey take you to the Netherworld, or were you an explorer?

[darkova]

My people came from a far away land to Erion- so I can not say if that was the case in the past.

As for myself... I explored a little for my own sake. There are treasures and knowledge in the land of the dead only powerful sorcerers dare try to find. But never beyond the borders until shortly before I was brought here. I traveled into the bowels of those lands in order to barter with it's Queen.

Oh? Was it for a soul perhaps?

[darkova]

I wish I could say I was quite so noble. And taking a soul from Odette would be a short victory- she is a vengeful Queen. No, I went to her doorstep to ask for her dead army to aid me in a battle. The offered price being my life and service to her in death.

[visionem]

A classic bargain. Did she accept?
