Hi guys,
I wanted to ask you if creating a Who's Who book, from Tully's own perspective, would be a good book to read. Here's a couple of samples of what I would write. Naturally, I don't know everybody, but I would write about the people I've encountered and/or have heard about.
Here are a couple of sample entries:
QUOTE
Daevos
The de jure leader of our city and the Ur'Guard, this boyo is an imposing sight. All in Magnagora give him his respect, from the highest prince to the lowest serf. All in the basin at least respect, if not fear, his power.
Do not think that this boyo is just a king who sits idlely on a throne, twiddlin' his thumbs like he was on a privy. He is a potent warrior, mastering the fine art of combat with the two-handed sword, and he usually can be seen riding his nightmare. He has been behind most of the successful campagins of Magnagora, and has had a long reign. If it wasn't for the might of the Serenwilde and Celest, it is likely he would have conquoered all of the Basin and placed it under his sharp thumb.
I have rarely spoken to Daevos. He doesn't usually deign to answer a lowly city dweller like myself, even when I polish his armor. I know he appreciates all the hard work we do in the basin. The last time I think he spoke to me directly was when I manifested the Kundalini. His response: "Nice". Clearly, he only will speak when he deems it appropriate. I have rarely heard his telepathic communications other than a salutation on the city's aethereal channels, although I suspect he is more forceful on the more secret channels of the Ur'Guard. I suspect he is working on his tactical and strategic plans constantly. Some would say he is the right hand of Fain in the Basin. He may not be the most powerful being in Magnagora, but he certainly is one of the great forces to be reconed with.
Ialie
Ialie is an complex creature. She is a faeling who discovered an artifact that transformed her into a changeling, one of those rare creatures who can assume any racial form. In her native form she has unusually dark skin for her complexion, which might at first make one confuse her for a Shadow Faeling, at least from a distance, but her wings are the more beautiful sort that the natural faelings possess.
She has a love for rainbows and I suspect she is constantly experimenting with rainbow magicks, and she apparently has made experimental breakthroughs, such as a special rainbow cubix and cloaking gem, and I suspect she has a lot more stuff she experiments with. She is a Hartstone Druid, though she is not usually on the front lines--at least, I've not seen her there, but I'm not combative so I rarely see front-line battles. She partices the art of Ecology. She is also known to have adopted a giant bumblebee called Ezyth that followed her one day. She maintains a rather large manse called Starfall Haven, which I once cleaned up. She spends a lot of her time practicing her jewelry trade.
She is somewhat whimsical and has a flightly sense of humour. She also appears to be a bit of a flirt, at least from some, let's say--interesting behavior I have seen. Hopefully this won't be a problem for the boyo who's marrying her, the druid Bastion. For a member of the Serenwilde, she doesn't seem to dislike walking around Magnagora, even though things between the two empires are a bit tense. A lot of people like Ialie. Even a fearsome warrior like Murphy seems to be charmed by Ialie's presence and demeanour.
She serves Lord Lacostian as I believe the leader of her order, thus the title Mystericon. I believe she is the right hand of Lacostian in the Basin as Marina Whytetower is the left hand as an Oracle, at least from what little I know of her. Although sometimes I wonder if even she knows as much as she says she knows. (That's the problem with mysteries, ye can't verify them.)
Still, Ialie is a very impressive boyo. I look forward to getting to know her better. I hope she lets me clean Starfall again.
Viravain.
No comment due to previous encounters with her, as well as self-preservation instincts.
Would this type of book be an entertaining read for people? I'd want to make it one person per page so I'd have to spend some cash for this. It's a lot of work to write so I'd want to make sure this type of effort would be appreciated.
