Game: Another Civilization Forum Game/Valens

The Valens tribe is one of the player-controlled tribes in "Another Civilization Forum Game." It is controlled by Potatomancer.

Heading west from the Spiecine Althio homeland, the Valens came across forested land with a large lake. Along the lakeshore dwelled two-headed bears with shells on their backs.

The growth of a new religion centering around the use of magic, seen as a veil between gods and mortals (with a pantheon led by the Zorn, embodying the absence of magic), was short-lived when extremism emerged almost immediately. To avoid this happening again, the tribe turned to a more rationalist mindset, and became led by a council of elders known as "the Librarians."

 * Silence counterspell scroll

Attempts to use the scrolls failed. Instead, the scrolls became unusable, and the would-be anti-mages were rendered unable to use magic. The council suspected that the cultists' god Zorn may have been behind this failure. As a result, the council agreed that anti-magic, as well as magic associated with fire, light, and life (the elements whose associated gods were aligned with Zorn), should be researched no further. In addition, the elders planned to develop a writing material that would serve as an alternative to stone tablets.
