Pyramids and Great Triangles

Unread post by Library Ogre »

Ok, so one of the great triangles (the Mediterranean one) is "landlocked".... that is, all of its verticies are on or near land.

What would happen if you put a (large/medium/small) pyramid on each of those nexi/lines?

I may have to try that, suddenly I'm getting all kinds of ideas of how my current character could use that. :demon:

My guess is that first of all, the instablility of the triangle would be curbed considerably, and secondly, well... I think after that I'd depend on how you wanted to use all that power.

An item of such power would be guarded and protected, but oh the possibilities and wars to be fought over it!

You'd get three Pyramids.

The Great Pyramids are actually believed to be built in a spiral pattern which leads to the lost Tomb of Hermes, a.k.a.Thoth. The location corresponds to what is believed to be a global chakra, which would be the mother of all nodes. Stonehenge, however, is built on a ley line with several other locations forming a triangle as you propose here. Stonehenge is also believed to be a global chakra.

Very good Nekira. However, since you're now controlling the nexi and ley lines which make up the nastiness of one of the Demon Triangles, what would be the impact on the Demon Triangle to have its power subverted?

Same powers as normal?

Basically, same level of control: You can shut down random dimensional shifts and control the weather.

Anyway, I would ALSO give the pyramids a higher PPE base and triple the MDC.
