Splinter Color: Green
6 splinters
(giants)
(steampunk goblins)
Name of the Splinter- Hollow earth
## Campaing Settings (insert by @ireyeye)
This green splinter is mighty powerfull.
They have the power of the earth and the air around it, the earth is hollow is secret for the many. This hollow part gives the splinter the power to absorb damage in their tank and then reverse this energy into healing power. Sometimes this result into no damage, sometimes it gives you more healing power and you can sell this power for mana.
Green- disorganized/tribal yet connected through the inner earths worlds and layers of caves, lakes, rivers, oceans and tunnels in the realms.
Inside the planet is the home of the giants, swampmonsters.....

(green cards inserts: what is out there?)
(our giants have the DPS power)?
What is the primary negative consequence (usually felt by others)?
Lyanna, princess of innocence, strikes with love and jokes, shy breaks the tension and is a bridge to the peacekeepers balance.
Swampmonster have the power to multiply when magic power is used against them. This gives them more DPS (damage output)
On the surface of the planet there are green zones.
Inside the green zones there are (other green cards input:).....
The summoners are connected through the inner earth tank and can heal others instantly when powers are up.
(we need to start value system to green cards?)
The "shape shifting sky piramides". You can harly ever see them, they have routes in hour space time space, yet they are in another dimenstion or realm. They are the ships of the "cosmic peace keepers balance"
The hidden world into all worlds, so big so small, hides many forces, can you see the blue piramides in the sky some day? The day the world gets "Unsplintered"

## Value System
These folks need a value system. I’ll try to make a video for the next part. Here are instructions.
Put the most powerful faction of the group in the center
In the spot adjacent to the center and directly above put the most important value held by them
In the spot adjacent to the center to the lower left put the second most important value held by them
In the spot adjacent to the center in the lower right put a negative value held by them
Fill in the values in between by focusing on the interaction of 1-2 1-3 and 2-3. Look at those two words and think if these two words came together how would that manifest as a value.
Once you’ve completed the inner ring of 6 spread it out one more level and combine them all again to get up to 12 (if you feel like you need it)

I include an example of what I'm describing here-
https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@aggroed/steem-monsters-writing-competition-pre-announcement-how-to-build-a-faction-culture
Consider counter cultures that might arise. What movement would youth support because of failings of the current value system.
The value system will be built into how the society functions and the order that’s built into the culture.
## Primary Purpose of the Splinter-
This section is likely written from the perspective of the most powerful faction/leader/person/entity in that Splinter.
What do they do to bring forth or hold up the reunification of the planet? What special ritual or what daily action? What great creation was put in place to have some central interaction with core of the Splinterlands.
What is their intention? What is the chief benefit? What is the primary negative consequence (usually felt by others)?
What resource does the Splinter (color) harvest? What negative consequence does that have against another Splinter. Is there a way in the future that the process could be modified such that most of the benefit is captured and the damage is drastically reduced?
This is meant to explore the power of unintended consequences. So, there is a benefit to an action and either known or unbeknownst to them there is a negative consequence that they either choose to inflict or are ignorant of. It should have a negative effect on the Splinter that they have an advantage over.

## Timeline\
## Timeline Major events
It's been 956 years since the Splintering. We have to build a timeline that's common. If you look at the map contest post we received two types of submissions. Flat maps with continents, and floating worlds. The flat map style is going to be the current map with each Splinter on it's own section of the map. The integrated floating world map is going to the land of the prophecy that existed in the past and will exist again in the future.
The world splintered 956 years ago. The cause is unknown. Each group can have an interpretation of what happened. (almost) Everyone from that era is dead. You're welcome to create historical documents (that we may or may not allow to be true) to describe what happened at the time to the best of that Splinter's knowledge. The timelines aren't exact for each Splinter. Some may experience these things slightly before or after it emerges.Major events
zero to 2 years- Magic started working again after the Splintering. The prophecy of the planet reuniting is foretold.
124- The last known survivors of the Splintering have all died out (there will be some legendary story arcs that will still be alive, but otherwise they're all dead).
387- The season of starvation as all crops withered and magic fell to a trickle
522- A shimmering white light engulfs the planet and meteorswarms hit the planet for weeks on end.
804- The Grand Tournament is established on Mount Mox. A small common city where the various splinters actively trade and build something together is formed there.
## Timeline - Splinter Events
Time of Aggression
Time of Depression
Time of Collaboration x2
The Burn- Something is siphoning off magic from the realm and it’s making people sick/weak all over. How does this manifest in your kingdom? Not everyone has caught it yet.
There appears to be a small heliostone sold through the gold Splinter that can relieve symptoms.
