The Pale Peak
Hi all! I’m continuing to refine the next chapter of Exiern. We already have 6 of Luis’ beautiful pages, and I am reworking my dialogue for them. I had mentioned my past methods of doing all the final dialogue the night before the page posts, and I want to spend more time with each page.
I’d also figured this time could be spent doing two things; world building, and back-catalog building. So I want to use a few pages to put out there some Exiern info that will make future points of the story move more smoothly. And I can also build up a few pages for the ultimate goal of going back to twice-a-week updates (more thoughts on how we’re doing that later).
So please enjoy a little Exiern world building as I work to start our next chapter on the right foot!

Silly Barbarians, it’s obviously Ash’s tooth
Would you see red at the top of a volcano?
@@slugFiller Exactly! Mackenzie was right for once.
@SlugFiller Potentially? The lava is usually much lower in the cauldera and would glow pretty obviously at night the rock its self would have to be pretty close to the lava to heat to red hot as well but the top is clealy slanted in such a way to make this impossible.
Assuming those smaller mountains are nearing the hieght of the himalayas, you wouldnt even be capable of breathing at the top. You could reach it with a few millitary jets but you certainly wouldnt be stopping at the summit with the speed you would need to stay in such thin atmosphere. A sub orbital rocket is probably your only hope to get on top assuming you cant drill into the surface.
@SlugFiller:
A volcano would be easy enough to spot. It tends to have a smoke plume and spit lava. A lot. That was propably they first thing they excluded.
@Evenas:
You asume this planet has the same atmophere pressure and physical laws as the real world. They have Dragons. Any asumption flew out the window with them.
I liked the bit about sneezing almost everyone into a ravine. Hilarious!
Um. Sherpa?
Sherpa — the closest English(?) word to what the natives actually call themselves.
Sneeze — probably not hilarious to the wives and children of the Sherpas involved — who were only trying to make a living, for goodness sake!
This is Exiern. It is not “Ash’s tooth”, it is a boob.
David: sorry, but no, Madonna did not lose a bewb in an hilarious accident
Nay, tis the discarded Dixie Cup of Ash, who did slake his thirst after completing his mighty deeds. Legend says it is stained red by the ambrosia of the gods known as the Punch of Hawaii.
Many a businesseer believes a ruby wealth awaits….
WTF? Businesseer? “A ruby wealth”?
Did anyone else get a Yertle the Turtle vibe off the “sneezed into a ravine” bit?
The Ruby Wealth of DOOM!
it is the rocket the Ancient Aliens used to moved the planet to a different orbit, so they could terraform it.
It makes sense. The right arm flying off, landing in a mountain top? Yeah, totally aliens. Afterall there are books in the old testament that are totally a man’s written retelling of a extra terrestrial being, including its ship. Ezekiel I believe?
ruby wealth await.. Stupid idea if true that much rudy would make it worthless , But becouse it RED its ruby? Not Garnet or Red Quartz or a dozen other stones.. 🙂 lol be funny is Ash was a God and it was really his hand..Hey its a magic World hail to the Chief Baby!
