Entry:Ancient Dreams: Glass Towers

Just changed my mind. The speech should be said by everyone, GM and players.

Here's the text for the Comittee's version of history, depending on who wins:

Humans win: That the Dragonlords were a scourge upon the World, and the Yu-Men did clease it of their monstrosity. To them, let History give thanks.
Dragonlords win: That Yu-Men did oppress the World, and the Dragonlords did free themselves, and the World thereof. To them, let History give thanks.
Tie: That war is a terrible thing; that neither Yu-Men nor Dragonlord did survive; for blood is paid for in blood, until the end of time.

Thanks Mark.

I think I'm basically done, except I have to figure out a way to kick up the "role" in this game a bit. I'm thinking I'll think about Aria as an influence.

Some extra bits of color....

The Towers

Before each Battle, the GM introduces it like so:
“And the Yu-men and the Dragonlords did battle at The Tower…”

After each Battle, the GM sums it up like so:
Humans win: “And the Yu-men did slay the Dragonlords, so that the Tower did remain whole.”
Dragonlords win: “And the Dragonlords did slay the Yu-men, and Shatter their Tower; and the Yu-men were much aggrieved.”
Tie, Glass Tower destroyed: “And the Dragonlords did Shatter the Tower.”
Tie, both sides destroyed: “And the battle was bloody, and hard-fought, and there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

The Battles are fought in this order:

The Tower in the Blue Ocean
The Tower Amidst the High Trees
The Tower at the Great River
The Tower in the Wide Plains
The Tower Under the Clear Sky

At the Battle of The Tower at the Great River, the following extra line is appended by the GM after the introductory line:

“And the emotions of the Yu-Men did make the Dragonlords’ sorceries wax strong, and Dragonlords were well pleased.”
