Rabenschwinges Cavern blog » Anesh http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress Voyages of an explorer Thu, 05 Mar 2015 19:23:51 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.38 Ashetens fate http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=101 http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=101#comments Mon, 04 Oct 2010 11:15:44 +0000 http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=101 Today B.P. told us a little about Asheten and his life. He had been a wealthy and influental guild master of the guild of writers.
The expedition has found three ages, that had been in his possession. (One of them beeing Risoahl.)
There is an interesting bit about Asheten: He once had been married to a woman named Naila, who had suddenly gotten ill, and, after some years, had succumbed to the illness. Rumors had gone wild in D’ni about her, some claimed, Asheten had been very jealous about her and accused him of having killed her. There seems to have been an investigation by the maintainers, but they couldn´t find any evidence to proof this accusations.
Asheten had not married again, and died like many other D’ni in the Fall. The expedition had found his remains in what happens to have been his study, and some other remains (maybe his servants) in various other rooms of the mansion.
He had been 298 hahrtee old on the day of the Fall.
Though he had been a writer, no ages written by him are known yet. But if one might speculate – as influential as he was, surely he was a skilled writer.
Coincidentally, Asheten seems to have befriended another fellow guild member with a familiar name – Anesh.
Since they lived both at the same time – the late D’ni era before the fall – and they both were influential guild masters of the same guild, this is only logical.

Another topic: We have succeeded to prepare the cave on Afelahn to the state, where we just could go on with excavating, if, only if we had a bigger excavator in the age.
I think, I should talk to Alex and Noelle. Maybe the Yagi can be convinced to “borrow” us one or two Toosha.
The problem is: We can´t tell them, were we´ll take the Toosha, of course. So, how do we explain this?

And another topic: I think, I´ll keep the watery age I initially was so disappointed with. Yeah, sure, I don´t know what to do with it yet, but it is stable, it is mine, and I wrote it :P
So, with the help of the Linguists (Link: http://linguists.bahro.com), I made up a name for it: Ahnoto, which literally means “water place”. It´s not a very elegant translation, I know, but I like the sound of it, and it fits. So, this is the second age written by me :)
If any of you, who read my blog, have ideas, what could be done with an age consisting of a big lake with no shores in vicinity, tell me, I´d be interested to hear (or read) your opinions!

First trip http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=46 http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=46#comments Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:26:23 +0000 http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=46 Just came back from my first trip to Tufolehn. Well, it is an interesting age, at the same time it is very minimalist.
If I understood the book of commentary correctly, this is the typical style which Anesh wrote in, and it was appreciated by many (including Tumak).
I put on my maintainer suit (don´t ask me, where I got it from) and laid my hand on the linking panel.
The area I linked in to was a small, flat island amidst a vast, green ocean. The sky and the sun looked quite similar to those on earth.

In the shallow water around the island, there were strange, round creatures – maybe invertebrates – formed like little, green balls with red spots in various sizes. At least think those are animals, can´t tell for sure. Other than that, I didn´t see any animals or plant life. I heard no other sounds than the ocean surf.

There is another, bigger island in the near vicinity of the first one, but I chose not to swim over to it before the basic tests – maybe the water is acidic or poisonous, I´d rather find that out the comfortable way.

I´ve taken some samples of soil and water and plan on coming back soon. For now, I´ve got a lot of preparations to make for my first book, my first age.

(edited to give more details on my visit)

The doctor said: no stress http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=31 http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=31#comments Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:46:31 +0000 http://dniworlds.rabenschwinge.com/blog/wordpress/?p=31 I´ve been at a doctor today, and guess what he told me: I´ve a slight concussion. Well, that explains the headaches and why I´m feeling dizzy sometimes.
He looked at me very sternly and said: “No stress!”

As if he knew I wouldn´t take his advice. Well, call me unreasonable, but I don´t have time to waste laying around in my bed and recovering.
Just have to make sure I don´t climb or jump when being dizzy.
Don´t tell my mother.

I sat in my Relto in the morning and counted my kortee´nea, my blank books. I have 14 of them, enough for the time being, I suppose.

Then I started to translate the book of commentary on my own (still don´t have a translator yet).

Progress is really slow, my D´ni isn´t very good, and many words I don´t know.

I´ve managed to find out the name of the age the book was written about, though: Tufolehn.
The book is quite interesting: not only did the author – a member of the guild of writers, but not the writer of the age itself – write about the age itself, but also – and this is even more interesting – how it was written. This is more valuable then I´ve first thought!

The name of the writer of the age seems to have been Anesh, and the way the other guy, Tumak, writes about him, makes me think, he was quite respected in the writers guild.
