Editing Talk:Heaven's Mandate

Howdy exalts.  Anyway, I thought that we could post here about what we actually did to the site so that we can easily see what kind of new material has been posted.  Related changes just doesn't cut it.  So, post your latest adds, starting with what you've posted since the last session.  

Exp scale (subject to extreme fudging):<br>
1/2 pt: Half page of flavor, or moderate structural changes.  Great for filling in entries on people and places, but doesn't require a lot of thought or creativity.<br>
1 pt: One or two pages of flavor.  Usually more labor intensive, requiring cross-referencing, and they add new information to the setting.<br>
2(+?) pts: 3 or more pages.  These entries are really adventures in themselves, and go beyond character exploration into character development.<br><br>


==Hans Andersen==

# New: [[Special Training for the Marukan First Legion]]
# New: [[A Tea Ceremony, Interrupted]]

(10/27) Bad news for tea-lovers everywhere.

# New: [[Crossroads of Tea and Karma]], and an Epilogue: [[The Reprimand]]
# New: Stub entries for Nameless Ravine's father's two Monkey Bodyguards, [[Raging Panda]] (kohai) and [[Leaf-Catcher]] (sempai)
# New: Stub entry for [[Charms of Apotheosis]]

(10/28-10/29) Some post-game follow-up:

# New: An [[Unexpected Theology Lesson]] for the Marukan First Legion
# New: The Litany of Inferior [[Marukan Regional Teas]]
# New: Finale:  [[The Bureaucrat and the Deity]]

(11/07) Oops.  Some consequences.

# New: Unity of Nightmares, [[Act 1: Curtain Call]]
# Coming Soon:  Acts 2-5, plus an intermission.  I'll put these on their own page once they're done.

(11/09) Daybringers Fanfic.  Heaven help us all.  (Servants of the Righteous, Part 1)

# New: Chronicles of the Daybringers, [[Gaiden 3.5]]
# New: Renamed "Unity of Nightmares" to "Nameless Ravine's Nightmare".  Added [[Act 2: Boameth and the Fox]]

(11/13-11/16) Stone Bone Trees.  (Servants of the Righteous, Part 2)

# New: The lead-in for [[Shai Mei]]'s entry got out of hand and turned into its own tale: [[Gaiden 5.6]]: Marta's many tools.  Shai Mei's own entry remains blank...
# New: Entry for [[Shai Mei]].  Needless to say, it features rampant tree-philosophy.
# Updated: [[Reforging the Promise]].  Added the results of the first post-reforging test-run.
# New: [[Intermission: Rivers and Spoilers]]
# New: [[Act 5: Fifteenth Son Shatters the River]]
# Updated: [[Raging Panda]] teaches Nameless Ravine a new charm.
# New: [[Rededicating the Promise]], with a cameo from SSW

(12/21) The Faces of The Enemy (Messages and their Bearers)

# New: [[Clearfield]]
# New: [[Amilar Agathon]]
# Updated: Soho gives us a guided tour of the completely remodelled [[Flying Pearl Lake]]

(12/30) Staring Into the Abyss (A Trial of Valor)

# New: Poor [[Soho]] doesn't have his own entry yet, but he does guest-star in [[Gaiden 6.5]]: Unlikely Sifu, Unlikely Student
# Updated: [[Sha Yan Shi]] - Added "Part 3: The Calm Before..."
# New: [[Act 4: Torrent of Woe]].
# Coming soon: The (chronologically challenged) nightmare sequence concludes with [[Act 3: Darkest Before the Dawn]]

(1/9) Angry Angry Deathlord (The Consequences of Action)

# New: [[Four Farewells]] - The first part of Nameless Ravine's adventures between the end of the SSW arc and whatever comes next
# New: [[Hope in Varsi]]
# New: [[Sha Yan Shi and the Wayward Eye of Ma-Ha-Suchi]]

(1/14) Beneath Open Skies  (The Righteous Strike Back)

# New: [[Thirsty Soku and the Righteous Man]]
# New: [[The Prison of Oaken Rebuke]]
# New: [[Soho]] finally has a short entry.  I think I'll need to play him in game to get a feel for him before he gets some serious adventures of his own.

(1/21) Phoenix Rebirth (Distant Peals of Thunder)

# New: [[Sha Yan Shi and the Monkey-Picked Messenger]].  I'm enjoying this *way* too much.
# New: [[The Fivefold Chronology]] - Intended as a list of every entry, arranged in game-world chronological order (regardless of author and date of composition), cross-referenced by subplot.  Lots of cleanup and formatting and typo-fixing yet to do.  There's almost certainly chronology errors in there as well.  Also, someone else should volunteer to add in-game calendar dates to the session-headings.
# Updated: [[The Fivefold Chronology]] - Fixed the broken links, and added commentary about the ordering scheme.  Added a link off of the main page.

(2/11) Meanwhile... (Darkening Skies)

# New: [[The Second Southern Expedition]] - Added Part 1: "Not One Tiger Warrior"
# Updated: [[The Second Southern Expedition]] - Added "A Conspiracy of Virtue"
# Updated: [[The Second Southern Expedition]] - Added "No Man's Land".  I'm tempted break this tale into multiple pages, in which case "No Man's Land" will probably be reclassified as "Daybringers Gaiden 7.5: What Might have Been".  If for no reason other than to goad David into finishing DB8.  Curse you Hans!
# The Chronology-monkeys have been busy; the Second Southern Expedition has been split into [[Not One Tiger Warrior]], [[A Conspiracy of Virtue]], and [[Gaiden 7.5]], with more coming soon.

(2/17) Meanwhile... (Sapphire's Bad Day)

# New: [[Sha Yan Shi and the Mandate of Heaven]] - Best. Topic. Title. EVAR.
# New: [[Powder Kegs (and other delicate matters)]]
# New: [[Divine Intervention]] - Fun with evil, evil, evil cliffhangers;  You are a horrible, horrible man, Hans Christian Andersen. :)  -  JK
# New: [[Hurry Home, Sweet Voice]] - The funny part is, Jason, there was only a ninety-minute window of truly-evil cliffhanger-dom before I posted this next part.  Not that there's any real resolution, but still.
# New: [[Sha Yan Shi and the Law of the Pack]] - The problem with being a half-caste in a full-moon world is that you have to deal with... another Evil, Evil, Cliffhanger!  Mwa ha ha! ''She '''''did not''''' just say "In the name of the Moon, I will punish you"...?! -mac''
# New: [[Sha Yan Shi and the Long Dark Night]] - What?  No cliffhanger?  Inconceivable!
# New: [[Agathon's Findings]] - I wrote this ages ago to explore the events that brought Agathon into disgrace in Lookshy, but forgot to post it.  With Marta's wedding and Soho's impending trial, it's suddenly quite relevant.  ''You know that nothing links to it right now but this Talk page, right?  :) - JK''
