some stuff I made about Dominions 5 & 6

I made Elentalus because I felt uncomfortable playing the other nations in the game. Why should I lead men to die if I am not of them? So I made my own story, something that is indistinct from history. Something that reflects the tales and the glories of any who might see. History is lived through you and me, and our pasts are not so different, I think you'll see. What difference is there between an apple on each half of the globe?

Cavaliers was when I learned how important our actions are. I learned that the call to power (the ability to push a button and determine death from afar) is too great to wield for our most primal of sides. And power like that is necessary when you reach a certain amount of abstraction, much the same way the stone knife is important to a human to protect itself from dangers like vines (snakes) or blades (like teeth)

Spirals produce waves, not of a ripple, but rather a continuous flow. Picture, if you will, the waves of life radiating off of our sun - never a wave (like a tsunami), but ever in change. For if you stand atop the crest of a mountain's peak, is it not similar to standing atop a fluid's flow? Perhaps like a sine wave, something you can reason with in your mind, where the peak is fixed in X,Y space but the value of the curve is in Z, corresponding to which part of the sun's globe is visible to it.
