So far this has been one of the better world building threads. OP, are you alive or is your mind burning with new ideas?

>the cost of bribing is draining, however, for each individual has to be bribed, otherwise they will turn on the one given an unfair advantage in order to ensure their continued survival

>They are right to do so because each time the drake riders decide to move against a city-state that offended them to much they destroy every living thing in it sparing nobody and even deeming the women unworthy of procreating with because of their weakness (let's avoid turning them into rapists by making them genocidal as fuck).

Their societies preserve themselves with huge slave populations of up to 70%.

Kind of goes against the individualistic darwinistic theme, doesn't it?

I am alive, to some extent.

> Casting magic outward requires a magical artifact, which can only be created with complicated rituals and extensive meditation. Of course, there are many magical artifacts scattered throughout the ancient ruins.

>many of these tribes lose to their slaves as some of the weaker ones ally and conspire with the slaves, only to get themselves on top
>These tribes are conquered or devoured by the surrounding forces

It's pretty much describing Sparta by now.

>The obidient slaves are used as shepperds and servants guarding their herds.
>The disobidient slaves are used as bait for monsters the tribe activley hunts.
>Slaves that demonstrate strenght and ability are often rewarded with freedom and join the tribe.

>No...You see the society is devoted to getting stronger and will often delegate the work with the young tribe members acting as suprevisors and learning the basic skills needed to maintain the tribes function at all times.

It's already a mix of Sparta, Slavs and Mongols.

Why avoid rape? It's not like our epics or war stories center around the issue, if they even mention it.

They could be prudes who only take in the children and biology follows.

I have an idea.
Rather than mere drake riders, why not have drake chariots?

>Hoards of Hunnic centaurs who's power is measured by how much empty depopulated land surrounds their tribe.

There are terrible band of roving rapist out there though. They're notAmazons, and they want your man.

You sir/madam, are brilliant!

>drake chariots
my chocolate comrade

>Their society is extemely protective of their women granting them great authority.
>Filial piety is viewed as the highes virtue besides strenght.

Let's go with the Darwinistic theme where they deem the weak unworthy.

Slaves are only those who were captured in open combat outside of sieges.

>There was a small faction of drake riders who took to using chariots for battle.
>They are limited to a small area of lowlands suitable for their chariots tho and have become fairly sedetary using their slaves for agriculture instead of staying on the move and hunting monsters. The other raider tribes despise them for their ''weakness'' but still grudgnly trade for food products with them.

(I have nothing to contribute, but let's bump a creative thread instead of yet another pile of garbage)

If we go full Darwin here, they should have a winner class of Bards making women laugh and having the brutes grow their children.

Allnighters are the key to opening the imagination.

I said Darwinist not cuckolds Sven.
Do you really think that men in a culture like that would allow them selves to wear the green hat?

You do understand that a nomadic nation of monster hunters wouldn't be able to support something like that.

>Instead Bards are the old sages of the tribe who managed to live to an old age and pass on their expiriences through songs.
>They are rewered for their knowledge and are the only tribe members who are sole supported by the tribe besides the children too young to train.

Done and done

>The chariots act more akin to sleds on the ground and a glider in the air.
>Chariots are slightly faster than a solo rider. They are drawn by 2-6 drakes and the platforms carries 1-3 warriors.

This is truth.

>One of the different drake-rider tribes took on them selves the idea of researching more draconic beasts to gain their powers.
>They managed to tame Wyverns as areal mounts and Earth-Wyrms which feed on plants as pack animals and tunnel diggers.
>They also have an elite caste of warrior-priests which managed to imbue them selves with dragon-blood. They often have snake-like eyes or tounges and some are even able to transform their hands and feet into bronze-like claws.

>the world is populated by sentient hurricanes that sustain themselves by sucking in flora and fauna and draining it of the lifeforce
>there are valuable crystals in the mines that allow to speed up or slow down time in the area around them
>the column of fire is actually inhabited by ifrits who build their ring cities around it and travel between them on asbestos flying carpets

>I said Darwinist not cuckolds Sven.
You think Darwin plays fair? Or women? Or craven wussies? Nah, I'm making the dumb brutes understand that there is no winning if they trust women.

>Dumb brutes
>Somehow able to maintain a society

Are you just that desperate for your NTR fetish after the rape was turned down?
Then use it on the not!Greek city states instead, they should be far more prone to degeneracy than an Egalitarian tribal society.

Dude what the hell?
Not everything is about fetishes. Rape happens literally in every war. I said not to focus on it.
As for the NTR part, it's what happened in Sparta. Willingly though, the older men wanted younger men to fuck their wives.
That's what a culture of str worship leads to.

I hate Sparta and I want others to do it as well. Dumb animals.
The drakes are great tho.

You do notice that this is relativley different to Sparta right?
These guys are closer to Mongols and Slavs except Darwinistic and forming a meritocracy with similar familiar valuses as Han chinese.

Meanwhile Sparta had:
>Oh hey lets send our sons to get raped by fat 30 year old men who will starve them if they don't give them ass.
>Oh hey let them murder-fuck our farmers so they can went their stress.
>Oh hey let's not actually wage wars.
>Oh hey let's actually kill our own children right after they are born.
>Oh hey let's ban our men from fucking their women most of the time and make sure when they do so the women look like men which is kinda hard to do when most of your women look like models and somehow kills the man-loving boners of Spartan men.

Sparta was just full on Gay communism.

>These guys are closer to Mongols and Slavs
Except being raiders, in what way are they close to Mongols at all, let alone Slavs?

Nah, if anything exerting your will over the weak is survival of the fittest at it's purest.

>Darwinistic and forming a meritocracy
Sorry lad, but those two are always in effect.

They are nomadic raiders, slavery is a way to integrate into their society (The slavic identity spread in exactly this way. Each time they enslaved someone they'd give them the opportunity to learn their language and earn back their freedom by becoming a worthy asset to their tribes, also the fact that they are pretty much easily bribed by foreign powers and won't follow anyone who doesn't have total power and dominance).

Getting lots of descendants who survive better than others is darwinism. This would mean high adaptive ability and a combination of charisma and endurance, or in the case of riders, they could focus on agility (for maneuvering in those carts and on the backs) and strength. They could even be lacking in con/end due to their reliance on beasts of burden.

I want /pol/ and especially lefty/pol/ to stop their shit and return to wordbuilding.

>The city states have a bull-race tradition designed to cull the number of citizens when the city-state isn't able to support the growing population.

Yeah, when Veeky Forums does erotica, it should be magical realm. Monstergirls and vampires are the vanilla.

>the bulls are sentient and gore people with great reluctance

> If the fallen stars land on solid ground, once cooled, the "star-shards" make some of the best material for weapons and armor in the world.

>Similarry some powerfull beasts have crystals made out of their condensed magic in their skulls. They are hunted for this material as it is essential for making enchanted equipment.

Bumping kickass thread with dank antiquitated architecture.

Some hills are littered with stone circles and bones of what seems to be a race of humanoids with giant skulls.
Most of the skulls strangely enough have stone blocks in their mouths, a fact that confuses the contemporary scolars.

(Giants with retarded kids who kill them selves by eating legos)

What's in the fucking basket?!

Probably some water.

>forests are filled with beasts, horror, flesh eating plants, dryads and wandering merchants

Groceries.
>Ancient Paparazzi taking a storegraph of a god
>All the sun god wants is to pay for his groceries and be done with it
>Fucking cashier won't take his credit card already.

Bump

>Every few hundred years, the God with the smallest stamp collection gets expelled from the megadungeon to wander the sphere.

This is some trippy stuff.

Flesh and Metal eating goats wander the mountain megadungeon in herds.

>streets were used only to bring in things or maybe even used as toilets

D E S I G N A T E D

Fertile land that would support agriculture is precious and rare. The primary food source is various forms of aquaculture, and only a few civilizations have discovered agriculture as we know it.

I won't lie this trips me out

the world is in a book that wasnt ever written, because
>the "writer" put screens on every wall of the imperial capital with a direct, constant stream of his perception, but can also hear everyone there, which would normally be maddening except it was just the one god that controls the hivemind of NPC's that the world populated with at first.
>who got really good at playing a game with names and voices.

there's no darkies

Tsunami's sometimes result in torrential rains on the other side of the sphere.

Legend tells off the wroth of some God. A waterspout that connected the hemispheres

> 8.5/10 Thread

Can someone with more free time than me condense the thread down into an overall summary of this new world?

>But the crystals bestow the magic upon the creature. Since these creatures are way more dangerous the crystals are way more valuable.
