For a HQ we need a myth. I am rubbish at this sort of stuff, so please contribute and revise!! The sources are Chasing Kites and Sotrm Tribe and a whole bunch of other stuff that I have been looking at over the last week.
During the storm age, before Orlanth had left the world on his great quest our people grew hungry when daga came and spoiled the crops, and there was no rain. The men didn't know what to do so they went to the loom house to ask the women. There is always another way, and they told him that they should go to grandmother to ask for what they need. At this time there was a thane Konigvor who had a water spirit named blue dancer, a nymph he had as servant in his household, one he had taken prisoner from the water tribe and someone who provided water to his piece of land and his cattle. They knew that if they could get him into the air then hey could water the whole tula with life giving rain. Konigvor wasn't happy but he he said that he would be happy to help if they gave him something that they would miss, which they agreed to do for the good of the clan. But no umbroli or magic they had could hold the blue dancer. When men are at a loss they seek the advice of the women, and the priestess said that grandmother kept hidden all the things they would need.
The thanes travelled to grandmothers house on the edge of the dark forest where they found a warm welcome waiting for them. When they asked her for help she said that they could have a look in her repository and take the thing they needed, but they could only take one thing. They looked and found a magnificent kite and the blue dancer laughed with glee and joined with the kite.
When the heroes returned, flying the kite that held Blue Dancer and great storm came up and it rained for 7 days and a night, and the Blue Storm Dancer kite brought rain from the sky, which is one of the reasons the Anzarni clan were able to survive the darkness and the return of the king Orlanth from his great quest.
The End
My idea is that when they get to Asrelia's cavern they find Mykka's adult body, but also they will find Mykka's name and the memories of her family. Which will she choose? (I intend to have another player playing Mykka).
If they choose the body, however, Grandmother (Asrelia) will tell them that she doesn't have the power over spirits and that she must go into the dark forest to seek her sister in her dark cave (Ty Kora Tek).
My idea is that they will meet some challenge or other. Maybe they will be attacked by trolls or something on the journey, or someother pre dawn type creature. TKT will try and convince Mykka to stay with her (like she did Arelia/Ernalda). If she refuses she lays a condition on the questers that she will put join Mykka and her body but Aren has to walk out of the cave and the dark forest without looking back. Mykka will walk behind him, silently. Babs Gor will follow them and if Aren does look back then Babs will bring back Mykka to spend eternity with TKT, spirit and body. The contest will be an extended 1 versus his love for Mykka, and any thing like strong will he has.
Game is on monday, any thoughts?
