A definite on both. How many regions would you recommend we have? Depends how big you want the continent to be. We should probably focus on locations first before committing to anything else. I'm thinking four regions. How big would that make the continent?

Seeing how this forum is meant to be the ultimate crossover where our imaginations are the only limit I can't see how we could go overboard. Our own world is filled with many different cities and cultures so why not Genesis? Our reality has rules, as does Genesis. We should be looking at what we have now as a guideline for what will and won't work in Elim. I haven't seen anything suggested that would be out of the norm for Genesis unless I'm missing something. Greek Mythology isn't my forte.

Well, Jherra has seven boards. If Elim only has four it could actually look smaller than Jherra and things might look unorganized.

Having played a hell of a lot of Dark Souls recently, I had the idea of expanding on Arix's notion of a smaller council of deities of equal standing, drawing inspiration from the ancient Lords of DS. Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight; perhaps a god of light, prosperity and other such ideals, inhabiting an Olympus-like domain surrounded by guards and his elite black knights. Nito, First of the Dead; Elim's potential god of death, a lich of nigh-absolute power who resides in its deepest catacombs. The Witch of Izalith, the first pyromancer along with her Daughters of Chaos; perhaps a goddess of fire and the cycle of natural life. As for the ruler of the elves we seem to be agreeing on, I suggest elvish Planeswalker, Nissa Revane. Arix and I entertained the idea of a continental conflict of some kind, into which our foreigners are drawn amidst much suspicion and xenophobia. I thought that the elves might be facing encroachment on their territories by tribes of belligerent fire elementals coming down from the volcanic regions, who burn swathes of forest and process the charred wood into a strong metal analogue for use in their advancing tools and weapons. Also thrown between us was the idea of a free-radical faction that no one else dares approach; a dead city, inhabited by thieves, outlaws and loosely ruled by a sect of necromancers.

Yes, but you don't want too many boards on the main page either. Might be a good idea to consider actually adding regions to Jherra.

Perhaps not adding areas to Jherra, but removing the lesser used and destroyed areas while adding the second land. The second land would start unexplored with few areas and as its explored more boards can be added to an unknown bored as sub boards, the ones more used could become main boards with their own sub boards.
And they may have missed my post Miracle, but my brotha Ross has a lot of the details there.

Looks like Zira has some competition for Supreme Fire Overlord.

You don't need to have all twelve titans, and all twelve olympians in Elim. Some of the titans don't even play roles in the Greek religion and are simply mentioned by name. I cite Gaia and Zeus as suggestions because I thought they'd be interesting characters to see on here. Four regions plus Arix and Sparda's idea would be more practical. I was going to suggest four titans led by Gaia anyway.
