That tweet doesn't link to anything, but from what you said, it's cause the lines don't match what's been said, which makes sense.
 
Ah. Weird cuz it worked for me but it must just be a preview then.

This is the one I was talking about, down on one of the comments in a reply to another.

Basically it's as you said + the text stuff I mentioned. I think combining the fact they're doing Refrain which has even more content like the WN and Eye of Hypnos, and Mangagamer doing other projects is why they're taking so long to do this.

IDK what the other VN's would be like if they were to do them instead of Sona Nyl but I imagine they wouldn't have taken this long if they did any other.
 
I do hope that IF they do still continue WAB if Sona Nyl does really well that it won't take them this long to do another.

Especially Valusia to get that Leonardo and his False God mech, or have Steel Princess Hilde and Machine Lord Charles of the Society around.
 
While editing Josephine's profile, thought to checked out the original weapon x, and wouldn't you know it, he is also 8-C and mhs+.

Really makes me want a match up between the 2, but think Jo might be outskilled.
 
Kek, Wolverine lol.

Yeah the ruby text for their names are literal comic book names of the X Men characters. The Council alone has Silver Samurai (Berta), Weapon X (Jo), Quicksilver (Walther), Gambit (Wilhelm), Storm (Florence), and Hawkeye (Emilie).

The Comics got even more with three former Council members being Angel, Beast, and Cyclops. Only ones that aren't of X Men is Tesla (Man of Steel), Shadam Coco (Catwoman), and Zorro (Douglas) but the last one has been around before even the first comic book characters came into the picture.
 
So yeah I was saying on the other thread that there might be an answer of sorts that could give us some idea about Steampunk's cosmology, and that has to do with the weird "dream walk" thing Lily does that has her go to different stories which seems to relate to "worlds" she goes to in.

But it's kinda weird now that I see it cuz I kinda forgot the whole context of it beyond something about going beyond space and time.
 
Yea, and we haven't even seen what he does in Sona Nyl.

If Edison gets some resistances, maybe a few broken passive abilities, he could seriously run for a spot in top 2-A's, if he even is only 2-A that is, still holding on to the hope that he sees the world as fiction.
 
不定形の、歪んだ影のような怪物であり、内臓などの器官は存在しない。
白く光る“ひとつ目”が特徴。

あれらは古代の怪異にして、滅びた人々の残した恐怖の残滓。影。
あらゆる傲りを嘆く声。
あらゆるひとを嘆く影。
既に終わった、見知らぬ誰かの物語。
“ひとよ止まれ”
“ここから先には何もない”
“導かれるのは”
“恐怖だけ”
彼らは、そう、嘆いているだけ。
呪うことなどなく。
恨むことなどなく。

Also was thinking about stuff from Valusia when I recall Zereer bringing some up, particularly on Leo/Leonardo/Uomo Universal

So the Horrors of Valusia are shadow-like creatures that, much like the Critters of Inganock, they possess no internal organs and have a glowing white eye that seems to be their other most common trait (similar again to the Critters of Inganock and Sona Nyl having a spring screw on them cuz of being toys).

This goes even more for them as Horrors are later revealed to be the leftover fears of past Valusians who died and what's left of them is their fears manifesting as these shadow-like creatures.


影は、己を成す恐怖をひとへ分け与える。
ひとが先へ進まぬように。
無限の恐怖に落ちぬように。
けれど、ああ、けれども。
その影に刻まれた恐怖はあまりに。
あまりに強すぎて……。
それ故に……。
ひとはそれに耐えられないでしょう。
声にも、姿にも。
触れられれば消えてしまう。
影の嘆きを心が受け止めるよりも、前に。
記憶が、心が、肉体が、消えてえしまう。
命を奪われてしまう。
自らに膨れあがる、恐怖に。
それほどまでに、彼らに充ちる恐怖は、大きくて──
深く、果てなく──

Said fear of theirs is actually potent because it can be weaponized.

Just by making contact with anyone, they can share the fear that makes up what they are now with others. The fear being so endless deep, everything from your memories, mind, your whole body disappears just due to how intense that shit is. It's basically something that makes you disappear. Not harmed or killed, just disappear by their fear.



The Horrors also come in different types like the Cyber Zombies of Karsheel, the strongest one being the Angel-Types with their pillar of salt light hack.
 
Rough draft? You plan on making profiles for them?

I mean their nature is defined, but everything is unknown there.
 
Maybe~

They seem more haxy in nature than being purely physical. They got shit like various powers depending on the variations of them, and their main form of killing is more about spreading their fear.

What could get them some stats is on the Beast, Giant and Angel Horrors.

First one are stated on their blog profile to require a platoon of Adepts to take out, and most of them are not only superhuman but they’re also outfitted with Crack Engines from Inganock.

Giant Horrors can destroy engine towers and structures but that seems more to do with their light shit. Angels are the same but their power is noted to be stronger than that of the Giants/Abhorrors due to Paradigm.

I have to set everything on a blog later to explain that. That or @Zereer can help explain some of this.
 
Funny thing about Steampunk now that I notice is how each series setting has a particular dangerous being.

We first have the Critters for Inganock. The Metacritters for London/Sharnoth. The Horrors for Valusia. And the Messengers/Angels for Sona Nyl. Even Karshel has it too for them with the Cyber Zombies.

Only thing for them is they’re not as broken as the rest if put in the normal Steampunk setting since using Cracking against them is one notable way of defeating them.
 
So if I do make some, what would being a shadow that embodies past peoples fear be?

Is that as abstract as the MetaCritters of London or something close to the Critters? Unless I put that as Intangibility/Incorpearlity.
 
I would rather we get something official than rely on info from some fan wiki, though i understand since who knows if we will get a Valusia translation, but it's up to you what you want to do.

It depends on whether they can be harmed physically or not, if they can be, then them being embodiments is just a fancy thing which has no meaning, if they can't, and are indeed the embodiment of people's fear, then they are both type 1 abstracts and incorporeal.
 
Well Atwiki pretty much has text ripped directly from the VN's, even that from the novel of Karsheel. They even have stuff of other works like from Shinza too, and I have the OG text for that (courtesy of a friend) plus videos online to check, so they're legit AFAIK.

They share the same feature of 物理無効, or "physical invalidation". The 物理 means physics or laws of nature, something the Critters also have on the official Inganock Website. The description on the blog states nothing outside of the Old Ones can harm them.
 
I should also mention that the Dies Irae profiles use a fan wiki (@wiki) for some of the info on the profiles yet nobody had any issues with them having it.
 
Pnakotic Phantasmagoria [Machine]

World Machine of Madness. It is said to be a giant machine developed by the《Golden King》, or by a supernatural being that came from a different land than Kadath. It appeared in March of 1909, completely destroying the Giant God (False) controlled by the Universal King. Its whereabouts afterward is unknown.

It is rumored that its right foot crushed or tried to crush something in the Strait of Dover (the Strait of Calais) in a certain month of 1909. In any case, this is the truth about the earthquake of a certain month that was rumored in Paris.


狂える世界機械について【設定メモ】発生の源は《発狂する時空》に由来するが、従属している訳ではない。本来は複数の宇宙に跨がって存在する●●●●装置。神々の鉄人28号。良いも悪いもリモコン次第。でも狂ってる。

『深闇のセレファイス』では、リモコン(意訳)は消失しています。《結社》を後にする際に黄金王が破壊したとも、黄金王が去ったのと時を同じくして一切の玉音をもたらさなくなった総帥トートが何処かへ捨て去ったとも。

About the World Machine of Madness [Setting Note]. The source of the generation comes from the《Madness of Space-Time》, but it is not subordinate to it. It is essentially a ●●●● device that exists across multiple universes. The Iron Man of the 28 Gods. Good or bad, it depends on the remote control. But it is madness.

The remote control for it has disappeared in "Celephaïs of the Deep Darkness". It was said that the Golden King destroyed it when he left the《Society》, or that General Thoth, who stopped bringing any sound around the same time, abandon it somewhere.


This is one piece of machinery I wish we could have art of.

It's also pretty powerful too since it can bring harm to Leo's Giant God Mecha. For reference, the Giant God casually one-shots the Abhorrors who are over 100 feet tall (Giant God has that size as well) and are taller than multiple Engine towers and structures which they can destroy. It can also perform Paradigm but Leo took it out before Golden King can complete it.

(Full Fight and Aftermath)

The above is also said "truth" of the "earthquake" rumored in Paris, so Golden King and Leo's fight was intense enough to cause some major commotion.
 
This says quite a lot even more because Leo’s Giant God is said to inferior to a Shintai according to Sakurai, and the Shintai’s I see are pretty variable from the Ulthar list of Shintai.

I got stuff like Cthulhu being said to be able to destroy Kadath if it were ever pissed, to some Shintai called the God King whose power and authority trumps all other Shintai, which may even include the Black God whose outright called the Black King...although this could just be yet another manifestation of Nyar as a Shintai and not the actual Nyar?

Idk I have to go and read that but yeah, Shintai would at least be superior to Leo’s Giant God if this is right
 
水の神/クトゥルフ

クトゥルーとも呼ばれる。最も美しい神体に降りたとされる強力な神性。深淵の海(国)に住まう人々の神体として君臨している。ダゴンやハイドラといった海魔のうち最上位の八体を眷属として統治下に置いており、人の作った機械の体を与えている。

The Abyssal Kingdom has made a pact of alliance with the Gray Kingdom.

It is called the "God of Compassion" because of its deep love not only for the people of the sea who worship it but also for the people of the surface and the Cat people (Nekobito).

It is said that if the Water God were to tremble in anger, all of Kadath's surface would be shattered.

Posting up two Shintai's that would have appeared in the setting of Ulthar, the Water God and the Black God. Also known as Cthulhu, and the Black King.

Gonna be posting more Shintai's here, plus doing this in a way actually helps me post the translations later on the actual blog and to show I'm not joking about other gods existing in WAB xD

So yeah, these are the list of Shintai that would have appeared in the setting of Ulthar, which is technically part of Steampunk canon since one of Lily's dream walk journeys actually shows her the past of Kadath here.

So we have an Outer God, an Elder God, multiple Great Old Ones, and some others that are Shintai in the past. There are vague statements here and there that detail how strong they are, which is really only this "God-King", the Black God, the Water God/Cthulhu, and the Earth God/Tsathoggua.

We do have this here from the book that can give us a kind of lowball for even the weakest of Shintai.

偽神 (偽神群)

灰色の国をはじめとするさまざまな国で作られる機体。

神性が降りていない素体を元に、人の技術のみで駆動するよう作られた量産機。

神体の特徴である「頭」もしくは「顔」が存在しない。

神体の力には遠く及ばない。しかし、たとえ権能や神威を有しておらずとも大型の鋼鉄の塊であるため、人の兵よりも遥かに強力。

やや大きめの街であれば領主の所有する偽神が一機から数機配備されている。

False Gods

Engine Bodies created in various countries, including the Gray Land.

They are mass-produced machines that are driven solely by human technology and are based on bodies that have not been given divinity.

It does not have a head or a face, which are characteristics of a Shintai.

It falls short of a Shintai's power. However, even if it does not possess authority or divine power, it is a large mass of steel and is far more powerful than human soldiers.

In a somewhat large city, one to several False Gods owned by the lord is deployed.

しょせんは偽神です。本物の《巨神》イイーキルスとは比べものにもならない

And according to Sakurai here, Leo's Giant God is even referred to as a False God and is inferior to an actual Giant God known as Yikilth. Which is weird here cause in actual lore, Yikilith is the name of a giant iceberg that the actual Rlim Shaikorth rides on. So IDK what's this about other than what Sakurai is writing here.
 
Is the Black God, another manifestation of M, or is it referring to the M who is James Moriarthy? Confused there due to it being said its follower is a girl who golden eye, which would think means Mary.

Shintai are just Old Ones in metal bodies though, and M we know doesn't have that, so assuming it's another avatar.
 
@Celestial_Pegasus If I got this right, The Black God is just a manifestation of the Black King. Ulthar's would-be setting at this point is supposed to be about the Old Ones who were fading away and put into Shintai's/Engine Bodies. Yet M/Black King/Nyar is a "non-standard" Shintai cuz we know he doesn't need one due to being the Black of the universe.

カダス (ドリームランド)

神代の惑星カダス。

この時代、地球との行き来はないが、地球に座した黒の神だけは一部分をカダスの地に顕現させている。

Kadath (Dreamlands)

Planet of Divine Age, Kadath.

In this era, there is no communication with Earth, but only the Black God, who sits on Earth, manifests a part of himself in the land of Kadath.

-Ulthar's Thoughts Setting Glossary

Although it is really weird cuz his Follower here literally describes Mary. For all I know, this Black God could still exist as M up into the present but in Moriarty's body. But that's my best take on this.
 
@Qliphoth_Bacikal

Thank you so much for the translations!

There are really a lot of interesting things here:

1. I'm glad we finally got more specifics on the Kadath gods. I also hope that in the story itself (as I understand it, the Door to the Moon World contains both a novel and various settings?), the Shintai concept will be revealed at least a little more. Man I really like all this xD

2. Finally, explained who the "False Gods" are. The fact that Leo's mech belongs to their category is at least... interesting and raises a number of questions. I already faintly understand how truly strong his robot is, and I do not understand if he is at the level of peak Tesla, peak Rosenkreuz or King of Wrath. And now I have a lot more questions, maybe Leo is not that strong compared to all of the above (Tesla, etc.).

3. About a number of other gods, questions also arise. Shintai-Dragon ruling Inganock, mysterious God-King, and all that. Damn, I hope Sakurai comes back from FGO someday and continues writing her franchise :(

By the way, does this book have any illustrations of Rlim Shaikorth? It would be very interesting to see his human form.
 
@Zereer No problem ^^

Aye. It has short stories related to the moon and taking place mostly in the present of Steampunk (at least up to 1908, that is).

And yeah. It says a lot when Leo's Giant God can destroy 30m tall Abhorrors and even fight and destroy one of GK's terminals at the cost of his own. Yet the fact it's a False God says a lot about what the actual Shintai's powers are. We already know how powerful M is and what his Avatars can entail, and Cthulhu being said to destroy all of Kadath if it were ever angry is another, but the other Shintai for sure makes them all the more impressive.

Aye. I didn't even know there was a former ruler of Inganock. Or even a God-King that outright rules over all other Shintai. Although it's weird cuz the Black God is one but its bio outright calls it as a "non-standard Shintai" so it might not really be stronger than the Black King. But even aside that, that's another thing we know is so powerful.

If only...

Something like this? We also have this from the Sona Nyl WN, with the bottom right being said white god.
 
The Legend of Yith [Rumor]

One of the legends of France.

Once there was an ancient city, an ancient civilization lost to a great flood. Some Scholars have claimed that there is some supporting evidence to its existence, although not much is known about it in the current history. In recent years, the Figaro newspaper has given extensive coverage to an announcement made by a Scholar from the University of Paris, leading many people to believe in its existence.

According to legend, the cities of Yith existed in Brittany, Paris, Étretat, Marseille, and Averoigne, and each city had its own distinctive "tower" and "bell".

I’m gonna guess this may or may not make Rosenkreuz the last of his kind.

2. Finally, explained who the "False Gods" are. The fact that Leo's mech belongs to their category is at least... interesting and raises a number of questions.

I'm guessing the Tesla part is in relation to this here from Celaphis?

@ "The only one who can take on my《False God》is the late Lightning Lord!"

Granted this is technically in another alternate universe but if this is scalable to the prime one, that's another thing that says something for Tesla given Leo's Giant/False God is "Completely Independent" from all physical effects of the world and the Abhorrors disintegrating light does nothing to him, yet he says Tesla is the only who can match with it.
 
Oh and since you're probably free again rn, I should explain WTF I just posted here the other day.

Basically we now have info, although old ish but can still be relevant I guess for rn, about what exactly a Shintai is and the known ones we have.

Shintai are pretty much as we know as Old Ones in man-made bodies made of Machine and Engines, which enables them to remain in the world physically and even use their powers. Albeit as M/Black King/Nyar pointed out in his chapter from Engine Dictionary, this didn't seem to last long and they still disappeared at some point way before the main series plotline came around.

Information we know so far about Shintai in summary:
  • Vanishing Old Ones descended into machine bodies as an attempt to live on, but failed and they disappeared sometime in the past after that.
  • Shintai are much stronger than other man-made machines like the False Gods, which apparently even Leo's Giant God is put into this group meaning that anything Leo's Giant God has done (destroy 30m+ tall abstracts, fight and destroy a terminal of GK, could only be fought by Tesla (alternate universe though, but you could argue this can be applied to the prime verse), etc.), a Shintai would be superior to that.
As for the Shintai's we know that would have made an appearance but do/did actually exist in-universe are:
  • White God, Rlim Shaikorth
  • Water God, Cthulhu
  • Wind God, Hastur
  • Gray Gods
    • 23rd Gray God, Cyäegha
  • Earth God, Tsathoggua
  • Fire God, Cthugha
  • Winged God, Kumuyaga

I see. Iirc Cthulhu appears in Gahkthun's sequel. Hopefully the rest appears in the new VN in production.
 
He does, yeah. Cthulhu's statement of destroying all of Kadath's surface if he were to ever be enraged would support his tier of fighting post-Gahkthun VN Tesla in his Knight of Thunder.

Cthulhu, while not as a Shintai, was heavily implied to also brought ruin to Karsheel's earth. Which interestingly enough had M and GK join in on it, however or whatever they exactly did cuz we only know fragments of what had occurred after Edison dropped his Great Engine Clock down on earth. Which is F'd up when just M or Cthulhu alone is already enough.
