R'lyeh Dreamlands and Void Summoning

[HoneyBadger]

I love the idea of the Void Gate. I really and truly want it to be moddable, and to be able to add void critters of my own design. I think it could be as significant a factor to base a nation around something like a Void Gate, as to base one around the ability to cast certain spells or forge items.

Suppose you had a nation that could access Tartarus, or Cocytos, One of the elemental realms, or the Japanese underworld? Maybe a gate to the far future or the far past, from which can be drawn dinosaurs or mechanical beings.

Or Verne's "Voyage au centre de la Terre" underworld! And come out with survived dinosaurs!! OH MY!!

Land of the Lost: A Nature mage may enter to summon a Sleestak.

Your "voyage" idea sounds quite interesting, Tifone. Imagine a scenario wherein various Void-sites actually represent long sea voyages to mystical islands and continents, etc. not otherwise accessible by the main map, simply because the map itself only represents the known world? And they're only accessible to those commanders with the Sailing tag.

Thanks Badger... and hey your idea of making it usable only by commanders with sailing is a great complement! IIRC, because I read that book when i was around 12yo, the characters have to do a difficult travel by a subterranean sea to get to the prehistorical land. So it is very thematic! The site is taking shape What about your idea of the Japanesse underworld? What could you find in there?

That's an old, old one. I requested the ability to add/mod Void gate for a Shinuyama-based mod, based somewhat on Demon City Shinjuku, where instead of void creatures, your mages could enter and summon Japanese flavoured demons and undead. It would be something like a manga-based mod, with creatures and graphics inspired by various anime movies, which I don't think we've seen yet.
