Editing Microscope--The Mural of Lu the Fatherless (section)

== Foci ==

'''Round Number:
#''Saint Xavata'', revered by the Followers of Lu the Fatherless (Glyptodont)
#''The Argi as a race.''  I chose this one due to a mix of three things. First, trying to portray a society with a single alien feature (significantly greater intelligence than the norm) and see how it affects the race as a whole. Second, the philosophical issue of their superiority of otherwise. Three- explaining in detail what thwarts their intelligence from leading to conquest.  (Yadal)
#''The deity known as the Destroyer.''  The Destroyer is an evil deity that rules over the mostly human populations of the Volugar mountains. His followers are cruel, sadistic, and power hungry. (Tetnak)
#''The City of Mazad.'' We've already established [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Microscope_RPG--The_Mural_of_Lu_the_Fatherless:_Event:_The_Great_Mazadean_Exodus here] that "the city-state of Mazad was long a great center of cosmopolitanism, trade and learning, located at a key point along the confluence of the Jagash and Negregur Rivers, bringing many peoples, races, religions together, where they lived side by side in relative harmony." And [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Microscope_RPG--Rise_and_Fall_of_an_Empire:_Scene:_The_Renunciation_of_Yesel here], we established that the patron pantheon of Mazad is the Gods of the Golden Forum, although the Mazadeans also honor the Transcendent Sages. Following the victory of the Pure Thought Crusade against the Invisible Empire, we know that many of the non-humans migrated out of Mazad to escape being massacred at the hands of the Crusade (though they may later have returned--in fact, my Event and Scene assume they did).
