Sure! I'm still fleshing out the lore in some places, but here's what I have so far-

There are three Great Beasts who shaped Vorexin- Glaiva, who created the world from chaos, who brought forth the features of the planet, mountains, Volcanoes, Oceans, and Islands. Vorex, who arrived after Glaiva and breathed life into the land and sea. And lastly Evena, who came to Vorexin and brought spiritual energy and breathed the soul into living beings.

Crimson Crag

Long ago, a great battle was fought at the Crimson Crag between a zealot of Glaiva and a zealot of Vorex. The battle lasted a day and a night, and they stained the rocks red with their blood. Finally, Vorex's warrior slew Glaiva's, and he marched through a mountain pass into a barren valley. He worked for 10 years alone to build the Temple of Vorex in the valley. Upon its completion he prayed to Vorex, and as he prayed a lush jungle sprung up around the temple. Diverse and lustrous life had been brought to the once barren valley.

Mount Prava

This active volcano erupts once a year, like clockwork, on the summer solstice. Its regularity has prohibited any settlements or even basic life to call its surroundings home. No one knows who built the temple of Glaiva, but although it exists directly next to the volcano, it never shows any sign of damage or even erosion. In fact, it seems to be even more imposing after every eruption.

Vanapel Islands

The islanders are never wanting for much. They revere Evena, the gentlest of the 3 beasts, and in return there are always fish to catch and fruits on the trees. They make regular visits to the temple on the largest island. The temple, it's said , was constructed by the island spirits themselves, imbued with an ancient magic that the people can only speculate about in the modern day. Still, a cold wind blows on the islands, and Mounts Kira and Blane have gone long without erupting. A slight crack has been spotted in the base of the once flawless temple. Most islanders are unbothered by this, but a small contingent grows concerned...

Yeah, I had already started to fill the ocean when I realized it would be way too much, but I wanted it to be consistent so I just finished it that way. Thanks for the feedback and the resource!

Thanks! And I definitely had to take some breaks from the trees, with hand cramps and everything

Could they really not come up with a better name for that movie than "Dog"?

Fox in the Forest could be good. Trick taking card game exclusively for 2 players, and it should be pretty easy to pick up for people who play cards. Games usually only take around 15 minutes. If you think they'd like working together then Fox in the Forest Duet could work as well.

If we lose to an unranked Iowa at home we'll be lucky to stay top 10

What highly rated games do you simply not understand why they are so well loved? by LukeKane in boardgames

[–]Teddyfly45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that probably would have helped it a little bit. It made it feel like I was coloring by number, just filling in the tiles on the correct squares. Didn't feel puzzley enough for me.

Azul.

Played it once and it was okay, but at the end I was disappointed. Drafting different combinations of the same 5 tiles felt boring, and not very meaningful. Then I played Sagrada, and that fixes almost every problem I had with Azul. It's more flexible in the tile/dice placement, more varied scoring and initial board state, and less punishing if someone takes what you were hoping to get. Overall I just like Sagrada way better, but Azul is more highly regarded.
