Platser i spel jag gillar: Island of Celebration

Little big adventure är en spelserie jag skrivit om tidigare på bloggen. Det är en spelserie som alltid haft en religion-positiv utgångsvinkel som jag uppskattat. I första spelet spelar man rentav gudinnan Sendell´s utvalda, och religionen är ett hopp för planetens befolkning som är slavar under en diktatur. Det andra spelet är som jag skrivit tidigare på bloggen lite mer lättsamt, men har å andra sidan mycket intressant världsbygge på ön Island of Celebration på planeten Zeelich.

"In the beginning, the 2 mother planets, Zeer (the sun) and Lich (the cold) met one another during the Oogh: the great cataclysm. From this Zeelich was born. Life appeared and the brotherhood of the Gods sent there the youngest son of the light, who was called Kard N'kom. Alas, some deleterious fumes emanating from the Great Sulfur Mine disfigured him. His horribly mutilated face escaped the Gods, and it was decided that Kard N'kom would have to forever hide his face and never again appear in front of the noble assembly. Condemned to roam the cosmos forever, Kard N'kom saw his Name erased from the divine law. He who wanders without a face became then known as Dark Monk... Zeelich was populated with 4 different races, condemned by the Gods to fight each other forever. But, life being stronger, the divine brotherhood hurled Zeelich into the first sun of the Novae system. This shock created the planet such as we know it: a blanket of clouds isolating the rocky summits from the melting ground.

Then Dark Monk came back and announced the latest verdict from the Gods. The races were to fraternize and share the task of returning Zeelich to its former beauty. He unveiled a great wonder: from the deadly cloud, hideous monsters were born and threatened to invade the planet. But, thanks to his Key, Dark Monk also gave rise to a volcano which erupted and sculpted in basalt a gigantic statue in his image, holding the Stone Book of the 10,000 Names. At each ceremony, lightning would henceforth inscribe once more the Name of God, Dark Monk. Before disappearing, Dark Monk broke his Key into 4 pieces and thus revealed the Great Prophecy. On the day when the 10,000th Name of God is engraved the reunion of the 4 fragments of the Key will make the monsters and the gas disappear, and will give back to Zeelich the heavenly appearance of its origin. Life will then be reborn as it was in the time of Eden."

Nu när det är påsk och återfödelse står på tapeten känns det angeläget att tänka på det numera nerlagda Adeline som skapar skurkar som inte dödas eller bestraffas när de förlorar, utan får en chans på en återfödd planet!
