darm you did an awesome idea, but I'd love to add my own two cents.
ReplyDeleteAsian faction:
1. There is a long alchemical tradition in china so the japanese might have gain this knowledge during their occupation of manchuria.
2. chinese alchemy is based on a 5 element (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) so your 5 biggest factions within your eastern alchemical faction.
3. the phoenix (the mixture of 5 elements made flesh) could be an overarking symbol.
3. the russians have attempted to take a materialistic world and instead of alchemy, have thrown themselves into modern chemistry...doing stuff that can be done nowadays).
4. tibet is considered a diplomatic zone with europe, seeing as it was one of the places the thule society did a sizable chunk of their digging.
Europe/Africa
1. nazi's had a term called "honerary aryan" and it was used to generate alliance. I could see the concept of a "black aryan" coming into being, especially if they use a variation of the nordic creation myth (this particular african tribe came to our world using a reed instead of the ice from another world).
2. if you want a couple of theuritc areas in africa, I would recommend the giza complex, lalibela, and the ruins of zimbabwe as focal points for ritual world.
3. if your going to combine theurgy with what was there, it will inevitably lead to industrialized rituals, possibly called protocols. Basically they have to keep the ritual going 24/7 in certain areas so they have 4 man shifts not unlike a more mundane job.
north america.
I would love to throw the moundbuilder settlements as places of magic. ancient magical mounds that used to have great civilizations and are earth conduits for magical theory.
all and all, a great concept guys. :)
