Sarapis, the Logos

I used to check the link in the announce posts to see these. Now I come here so I can see not only the picture, but the inevitable and often amusing path from speculation and opinion, to Kyrra's (EDIT: I swear I put one of those creepy heart smilies here)

That said, while my first thought was OHLOOKLANDMASSES, I stand firmly with Kyrra in saying mm-mm-mmmm... cut me a slice of that Sarapie...

That's true, continents aren't ringed.

It is a fake. Sapience is flat and square, not round.

 Why does this remind me of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series? Also because it reminds me of this, I love it!

Auditors of Reality?

Ref the OP - just thinking how <censored> scary it would be to lackadaisically gaze out of the window of your little mudsex nookie-house in post-coital bliss on a beautiful, clear night and see that looking back at you.

Sapience isn't, but Achaea is.

Oh, that song. Urgh.

This picture is awesome. Words cannot even.

Raised in the Castro district of San Francisco.

Little bit of both?

Jonathin

There is a lot of water on the planet. Not going to be building the whole world. Dreams of a shipopoly crushed.

Draqoom

It would've been pretty awesome if instead of a nice perfect sphere it was some weird shape like a trapezoid or a dodecahedron or something.

This is my favorite God picture though. Captures the essence, distinctly Achaean, simple and elegant.

Draqoom

Also, since it looks like the focal continent on the planet seems to be Meropis, can I assume that the smidge of land on the top left is Kashar?

I want to visit that behemoth of a continent on the southern hemisphere also, and I'd like to visit the moon!

Sarapis

@Draqoom That's either Kashar (a region/nation, not a continent) or the nation that is south of Kashar. Continent is called Therophage. The one to the south of Meropis is Palariel. 

As far as visiting the moon, I think you'll find you wouldn't like it much. I've watched Ourania take mortals there, and they die pretty quickly once they arrive.

Shunsui

Hnngh, they've been named, they must be built ig now or everyone will be so sad. plz

Draqoom

That's fantastic that they all have names. Shows a real sense of care for your project when places that 'don't exist' in the areas we can interact with have names, history and a physical place in the world you created. I appreciate it even if it'll never be seen or experienced due to the strain it'd have on seperating the playerbase.

I'm sure areas will end up being built on them, but they'll never be fully built out like Sapience more-or-less is. It's not really doable, aside from anything else. Too big a project.

I vote one of the gods throws the entire continent and it hits Ashtan and Mhaldor :P Earthquake AAAAHHH!   *Smush!*

All of @Kyrra's totems in Ashtan would hold the continent piece several feet from the ground.

I am working on supporting the world, one totem at a time...

Hmm isn't the moon a bit to close?

Sign on the moon: "If you can read this, you are too close. And suffocating to death(I hope you held your breath all the way to here)."

I'll leave it to you to tell @Ourania that she can't drive. *duck*

Dear @Sarapis,

 

  Wonderfully done!  I personally like how the stars mimic your eyes.  Thank you for sharing this.  

Sincerely,

Cobra

Also, I never knew that @Sarapis was a Jawa.

That's no moon! Oh wait, it is. Nevermind, move along, nothing to see here.

Ourania

I was drunk at the time. Blame Phaestus.

Must have been all that moonshine.

I haven't had moonshine since I got back. I used to live off the stuff. Ask anyone!
