It was founded by a group of young people from Karsh led by a man known as Uncle, which he uses as both name and title.<br />
<br />
The 'city' is extremely secretive. Although it has few buildings, with most people sleeping in tents, it has a defensive wall that would be the envy of any great city. Some who have escaped say that there are hidden caches of weapons which are likewise of the highest quality.<br />
<br />
The inhabitants of the city consist of the original founders, their children, and some of the local tribespeople, who entered the place due to starvation. Some say that the inhabitants of the city deliberately drove off game and poisoned water supplies to achieve this end, and that children were outright kidnapped. <br />
<br />
It seems that everyone is effectively a slave of Uncle. It is said that sexual intercourse can only take place with Uncle's blessing, and that even talking without permission is a crime. Uncle is said to force the inhabitants to ingest various substances which render them more docile.<br />
<br />
The stories of some escapees who made their way back to Karsh caused even the wicked people of Karsh to become outraged. Karsh thus sent an expedition to capture Uncle. However, true to their nature, the Karhsians accepted a deal which kept Uncle in power. The Karshians received a number of slaves, none of whom were the original colonists (although some may have been their children). It is also whispered that political prisoners of Karsh are sent to the City of Dignity, where they are tortured and subject to medical experimentation.anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05546197561922726279noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950271105728204311.post-895035079956785362011-10-24T23:55:00.002+11:002011-10-25T00:37:16.347+11:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTl2VHvvBWN5Y0BnP0Fr7Rih-XsoYu9bPf1iHrLEPKavstgKTaDIhUWaq06wAN1lMDXDDU6WeIpedfOfFdp758vz40KF20RbsoEPhEIZL8V-tuZnz7w0Yr4tocCNkh1nChli3_wOjaEF5-/s1600/NicholasRoerich10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTl2VHvvBWN5Y0BnP0Fr7Rih-XsoYu9bPf1iHrLEPKavstgKTaDIhUWaq06wAN1lMDXDDU6WeIpedfOfFdp758vz40KF20RbsoEPhEIZL8V-tuZnz7w0Yr4tocCNkh1nChli3_wOjaEF5-/s320/NicholasRoerich10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05546197561922726279noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950271105728204311.post-80508123429636162112011-10-23T23:58:00.001+11:002011-10-24T01:33:58.535+11:00from the Odyssey...the gods, in the likeness of strangers from far countries, put on all manner of shapes, and wander through the cities...<br />

<br />
Grognards aren't wearing their Transformers tshirt ironically.<br />
<br />
Hipsters like the early albums, before they got commercial, not the early edition, before they got commercial.<br />
<br />
Hipsters argue about stupid things like the definition of 'alternative'. Grognards argue about important things like the definition of 'old-school'.<br />
<br />
Hipsters use pretentious French words like <i>mis-en-scene </i>and <i>cinema verite</i>. Grognards use pretentious French words like <i>bec-de-corbin </i>and <i>glaive</i>.<br />
<br />
Hipsters are into irony, which is where you wear something even though you don't like it. Grognards are into nerd-rage, which is where you talk incessantly about something even though you don't like it.<br />
<br />
Hipsters spend hours making themselves look like they just put on any old pair of clothes at random and didn't bother to do their hair. Grognards don't spend hours.<br />
<br />
Hipsters write zines because their band fell apart. Grognards write blogs because their campaign fell apart. <br />
<br />
Grognards <i>know</i> that what they're doing isn't impressing women.<br />

Australia Post recently put out this set of stamps, called <i>Mythical Creatures</i>. This is a bit of a pet subject of mine, but it reminded me how fantasy in general popular culture is quite different to fantasy as represented in role-playing. D&D and other games seem to have a lot more 'sex and violence', in the form of female nudity and concentration on weapons and armour, than you'd get in most representations of fantasy worlds (heavy metal album covers and the work of Frank Frazetta being obvious exceptions, and perhaps that's what a lot of D&D artists were inspired by). In this case the differences between new and old versions of D&D don't really matter.anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05546197561922726279noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950271105728204311.post-56413243200666772952011-10-17T20:54:00.001+11:002011-10-17T20:55:07.485+11:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When a creature of one planet died it was reborn on the next planet in, until at last it died on the innermost planet and became one with the sun. But the inhabitants of one planet invaded one nearer to the sun than themselves, and killed all the creatures thereof. Thus when they died there was no vessel for their rebirth, so they were reborn as rocks, and must stay in this form forever.anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05546197561922726279noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950271105728204311.post-35141320624442416622011-10-16T21:24:00.001+11:002011-10-16T21:24:55.120+11:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have two different projects that are half-finished:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A poem of <i>A Princess of Mars.</i></li>
<li>A story called <i>All-American Detectives</i>, with a similar premise to the comic and film <i>Watchmen</i>: that is, a detective story where the detectives are superheroes.</li>
<li>I was also thinking of doing a story using the Teleleli material I've been posting here. It would probably be like those old science-fiction stories where someone from Earth journeys to another world, and the emphasis is on the details of that world.</li>
</ul>
I'd be interested in hearing people's opinion. Feel free to suggest something other than any of the above. I haven't turned this into a poll, because I want to hear people's reasons rather than just get numbers.anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05546197561922726279noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950271105728204311.post-54993891262744174222011-10-15T23:55:00.000+11:002011-10-16T01:22:49.882+11:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the Dark Ages, the period in Europe immediately after the collapse of
the Roman Empire, did not in fact occur. It is stated that the 'missing'
years are a result of the change from the Julian to the current
Gregorian calendar, made worse by medieval reliance on oral history
(such as the legends of Charlemagne, King Arthur and Robin Hood).
Another factor is the desire of many medieval rulers to present the
history of their families or kingdoms as being longer than in reality.
The theory is said to explain the almost complete lack of invention and
progress in Europe over a period of 500 years.</span><br /><span class="xml-punctuation"></span><br /><span class="xml-text">When
I mentioned this theory to a certain Telelelene mystic, she told me
that the years had not been misplaced, but stolen, and taken to lands
within the world of Teleleli. Her meaning, like most pronouncements by
such people, is unclear to me, and I present her words to the reader
without judgement as to their value.</span><br />anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05546197561922726279noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950271105728204311.post-61780507233526040392011-10-14T23:55:00.000+11:002011-10-15T00:49:31.814+11:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

However it only allows travel between places with the same name. For example, someone on our world would be able to travel from Perth, Scotland to Perth, Australia. The names must be exactly the same (it would not allow travel from Main Street to Main Road, or from Mount Albert to Mont Albert). However the similarity may be in the names of countries, cities, streets, or even individual buildings (for example, two taverns with the same name).anarchisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05546197561922726279noreply@blogger.com2
