Almanac – Thaust
June 13th, 2013This week’s Almanac entry returns to our Mythic Beings with Thaust, the great spirit of glory, ambition, and conflict as well as the Patron of Morante. He is the greatest rival to Giavere, and the Lion and the Unicorn have tangled many times since the rise of the great spirits.
Corthis is a world inspired by the what ifs of history. This rivalry grew from my musing on the nursery rhyme The Lion and the Unicorn.
The lion and the unicorn
Were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town.
Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town
Typo in the 2nd-to-last sentence: ‘choses to manifest in that location’.
A spirit that regularly manifests? Awesome. Ones that manifest every now & then, and only to people who go blind first, seem a bit too fickle for my taste :3
Like Terry Pratchett said, it’s difficult to be an atheist when the Gods come round to your house and chuck bricks through your windows.
I’ve edited the typo on the webpage, thanks for catching that!
