And I think I helped confuse it when I pointed out the opposition between the Silken and the Uniformity. The Silken isn't 'chaos.'<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: HFA Handouts and GM Screen</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">The Silken. Cream, peach.

Possibly because there's an active war between them and the Uniformity, at least according to the majority of the character backgrounds (mine doesn't mention the Silken being chaotic, but definitely battles with the Uniformity). Perhaps the Uniformity claims them to be chaotic due to some of their aspects? (Deception/disguise/emptiness).<br/><br/>Chorus is most attached to the comfort and refinement aspects of the Silken. I see the Supple One as emphasizing those aspects, and being something like a genderfluid (and less gender-aligned) version of the Aztec deity Xochiquetzal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xochiquetzal). Remove the gender-specific aspects of Xochiquetzal and you have a god/dess that's concerned with beauty, weaving and embroidery, sex and reproduction. Which means that Chorus wasn't what is typically thought of as a 'temple prostitute' because no money or exchange of goods was involved, and certainly she had as much freedom to pick others as partners as they did to pick her, but that there was a certain amount of sexual flexibility within the temple's systems that may not have been representative of the surrounding culture, and that within the temple's domain sexual behavior was connected to worship rather than to relationships or secular laws.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=288425.msg14172609#msg14172609">Quote from: ShadowFox89 on 28-05-2018, 13:55:53</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">edit: Other idea, since we have a plethora of casters/sneaks/monster types, is an Angel/Valkyrie and agent of the Nebula.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>We don't have a 'plethora' of casters. We've got three sneaky/beguile-y types, one tanky type, and one primary healer/caster last I counted. So no combat casters at all, and only one 'normal' melee. Might want to ping Avalon to see if we need some 'mix,' or if they will adapt to whatever the party comes up with?<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=288425.msg14172467#msg14172467">Quote from: Avalon29 on 28-05-2018, 10:17:27</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I know Changing Saint mentioned a desire for the River Dragons.

Either of them seem like they'd play well as opposition to the other two pools, and that makes a nicely problematic triangle of powers, in my opinion.
