In addition to creating a wall for the people of Waterdown, I also totally redid their settlements, particularly the cliff caves. They gaped as I rapidly turned the whole cliff-face into basically a reinforced and planned-out apartment building, helping interconnect rooms and making them fairly uniform in size, put out balconies, added store rooms and more living space, some large storm doors on rollers that could block attackers, evacuation routes, decent stairs, plumbing, and a water supply. Outside, I…-

He was blinking at me in disbelief, as conversation buzzed all around. “That... is astounding news, Lady Traveler!” he blurted out respectfully. “Are you sure of that?” “I surveyed the Polar Opening myself, and an associate of mine traversed it. There may be another such opening at the South Pole, which we will investigate in due course.” I flipped up a very large The crowd all ooohed in wonder together at the full and complete detail of the illustration, and instinctively went looking…

Thinking about it, I tossed up a The Old Steed came down as the waters got shallower, and the final force of the Vortex petered out, reducing the sea below to normal waves nothing that big could hide in. I moved towards the largest intact warship, clearly rusting away, but still mostly intact. A man stepped out onto the deck, and my suspicions were confirmed when I saw he was holding an old carbine in his hand, pointed into the air and away from me. There were other rifle barrels poking out of windows…

Legion was having that pleasant explorer-scout discovery thing going on, a world even bigger than Hyperborea unfolding about them. My explorations were more of the merciless find and kill them all mindset, even if it all was VERY interesting, and The Map was getting filled out to a simply unbelievable amount of detail as I swept down the remaining coastline of North America and headed into the Caribbean. The mineral wealth alone that I’d charted would keep Heavenbound Hall in money for ages. There were…

A balefire eye studied Legion intently. -You stink of angels, lilitu,- the dragon /rumbled suspiciously. The dragon grumbled at nothing in particular. -I am Grobriundlarsh of the Abyssal Maws. Ask your question, succubus queen. If it aids in bringing down the suppression which binds me here, I may answer you.- -The means are tightly guarded by powerful forces, and I had no true need to be seen in more places.- On the other side of the planet, Commander Haru’Ara harrumphed. “If he had showed himself…

Leaving behind the magnetic pulse was instantly apparent, as richer Elemental Air power was suddenly pervading the atmosphere around them. The zone was less than a hundred meters wide, but their Pact Wings instantly thrummed with new strength, and their Ring with the same. Most of the greater Elemental Powers were not yet Infused into the Ring, but the Aura and efficacy against creatures of Air was. Any such meeting them were going to be quite afraid of them. The areas didn’t become populated rapidly,…

(As of this chapter, Legion kicked the remnants of a stone T-Rex or something down the steps of the Pyramid to join the other guards there in rubble and ruin. There was enough of an Aura of death magic here to keep normal creatures away, and long custom of not bothering the place with moving stone and bone defenders was probably long in place. That did mean that the path from the Hollow World to up above was wide open and undefended, but even if they left, there was no doubt it was not going to be that…

Legion slid smoothly through the gaping crack in the door, quite a bit bigger than the others, mostly because they were more annoyed after having to crash their way through a score of golems that Wrath couldn’t harm, immune to magic as they were. The golems weren’t immune to Strength 68 and Might 75. Even they could hardly believe how strong they were together. It didn’t make them invincible, of course, but the cumulative effects, especially once the lilitu racial bonuses became the standard, were…

They were pretty certain that some sort of alarm went off as they chewed through the stone golems outside and the bone golems inside. Oddly enough, there were no undead. The Illuminati must have figured that anything that could get past the undead outside would not be stopped by any inside... and that probably included themselves, because nothing showed up throwing spells at them, either. They still had Traveler’s That meant they could move their Warlock Resistances around. On top of that, being able…

“Heaven and Hell,” Legion swore, and their gaze flickered to Europe. Queen Rayetizvisha had known there was something down there, but had not bothered with the scale. It wasn’t her job... and again, Old Things lived down there. Traveler had That situation was even worse, with an incredibly developed subterranean world even more populated than North America. Traveler could only grimace and stare with deep interest, looking at the levels and networks and underground seas and magma chambers, feeling…
