KOED realms: FENGDU (the ghost city)
The Ghost City of Fengdu, China ~Ruler not known yet~
There is a necropolis called Fengdu modeled after the Chinese Hell in
Taoist mythology, built over 1800 years ago. The famous ghost town will become
an island once the Three Gorges Dam project is completed. Specifically, part of
the ghost town of Fengdu will be submerged, but scenery above the "Door of
Hell" will remain.
Fengdu Ghost City is about 110 mile (170 kilometers) downstream from
Chongqing Municipality on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the Peoples
Republic of China. Fengu Ghost City is a tourist attraction featured along a
Yangtze cruise. Fengdu Ghost City is a place to learn about Chinese ghost
culture, the afterlife, and to see what the Chinese would call a model of hell.
Fengdu became known as Ghost City in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) when two
Imperial court officials married and settled on Ming Mountain to practice
Taoist teachings. The couples surnames combined, Yin and Wang, sounded
like King of Hell in Chinese. They supposedly became immortals. Thus was born
Fengdu City of Ghosts the hell theme and ghosts culture stuck.
During the Tang Dynasty, a temple was erected on Ming Mountain that
depicted life in hell. It displayed demonic images and torture devices,
reflecting the idea that good people will be treated well in the afterlife and
that bad people will be punished by going to hell. Notice that this photo is of
the same temple in Fengdu Ghost City as the first picture, but this is a
close-up of details on the roof. Google Translator seemed to fail many times,
saying the title of this photo is, Fengdu ghost town Samsung hundred
children in the house roof
Fengdu Ghost City is lined with bizarre statues which lead up to
hell.
A little research in the Chinese vision of the afterlife showed that ghosts
of the dead must undergo three major tests to enter the netherworld.
These tests have been turned into three of the many attractions in Ghost
City. These attraction locations are called \endash
Nothing-To-Be-Done-Bridge, Ghost Torturing Pass, and the Tianzi Son of
Heaven Palace. The photographer titled this, Fengdu ghost town Bai

KOED realms: UNDERGROUND GENERAL HOSPITAL ~ Ruled by Dr. Amia Holden ~
UNDERWORLD
GENERAL HOSPITAL ~~ RULER DR. AMIA HOLDEN ~~
Underworld General Hosptial
Humans go
to hospitals. Animals go to veterinarians. But where do injured, ill, and
decapitated demons go? It isn't as if every supernatural being possesses the
ability to grow a new limb to replace one that's been hacked off by a demon
slayer scumbag. Fear not, fellow vamps, werewolves, and demons, for help has
arrived. Three brothers, incubus demons by birth, human in appearance (mostly),
have pulled together to make the most of the healing skills common to their
species. Welcome to Underworld General Hospital, where sexy demons are doctors,
HMOs are non-existent, and the blood bank sometimes doubles as the cafeteria.
And you don't even want to know what goes on in the supply closets. (More
to come, work in progress. Rules will follow soon.)

KOED realms: SHEOUL ~ Ruled by Pandora Morningstar ~
SHEOUL ~~RULED BY PANDORA MORNINGSTAR~~ 
The Realm
of Sheoul has been called many things throughout time, including Hell and
Hades, just to name a couple. However, this Sheoul is not the home of the
torture of the deceased, much as the mainstream religions of today claim.
Instead, Sheoul is the home to a great and powerful family of demons, reigned
over by a man named Memnoch. It is from Sheoul that all demons come from,
though they themselves may not realize it or remember their own origins. Sheoul
itself seems to be an entity all it’s own, forever changing its layout and
surroundings according to the moods of the most powerful creature there.
One can
only reach Sheoul if one is of Sheoulian blood, and then that is also only if
they can find the portal, located in a maze of passageways and corridors. Even
if one were to find this portal, if anyone not of Sheoulian blood were to try
to enter Sheoul, they would die upon entering the portal, burnt to an
unrecognizable pile of ashes. The only way one not of Sheoulian blood may enter
is if they are accompanied by one that is of Sheoulian blood

KOED realms: XILBABA ~ Ruled by Dementra Lucina Lust-St.James~
XIBALBA ~~RULED BY DEMITRA ST. JAMES~~ 
Xibalba /ʃɨˈbɒlbə/, roughly translated as "place
of fear", is the name of the underworld in K'iche' Maya mythology, ruled
by the Maya death gods and their helpers. In 16th-century Verapaz, the entrance
to Xibalba was traditionally held to be a cave in the vicinity of Cobán,
Guatemala. According to some of the K'iche' Maya presently living in the
vicinity, the area is still associated with death. Cave systems in nearby
Belize have also been referred to as the entrance to Xibalba. Another physical incarnation of the road to
Xibalba as viewed by the K'iche' is the dark rift which is visible in the Milky
Way.
Inhabitants
Xibalba is
described in the Popol Vuh as a court below the surface of the Earth associated
with death and with twelve gods or powerful rulers known as the Lords of
Xibalba. The first among the Maya Death Gods ruling Xibalba were Hun-Came (One
Death) and Vucub-Came (Seven Death), though Hun-Came is the senior of the two.
The remaining ten Lords are often referred to as demons and are given
commission and domain over various forms of human suffering: to cause sickness,
starvation, fear, destitution, pain, and ultimately death. These Lords all work
in pairs and are Xiquiripat (Flying Scab) and Cuchumaquic (Gathered Blood), who
sicken people's blood; Ahalpuh (Pus Demon) and Ahalgana (Jaundice Demon), who
cause people's bodies to swell up; Chamiabac (Bone Staff) and Chamiaholom
(Skull Staff), who turn dead bodies into skeletons; Ahalmez (Sweepings Demon)
and Ahaltocob (Stabbing Demon), who hide in the unswept areas of people houses
and stabbed them to death; and Xic (Wing) and Patan (Packstrap), who caused
people to die coughing up blood while out walking on a road.[4][5] The remaining
residents of Xibalba are thought to have fallen under the dominion of one of
these Lords, going about the face of the Earth to carry out their listed
duties.
Structure
Xibalba was
a large place and a number of individual structures or locations within Xibalba
are described or mentioned in the Popol Vuh. Chief among these was the council
place of the Lords, the five or six houses that served as the first tests of
Xibalba, and the Xibalban ballcourt. Also mentioned are the homes of the Lords,
gardens, and other structures indicating that Xibalba was at least a great
city.
Xibalba
seemed to be rife with tests, trials, and traps for anyone who came into the
city. Even the road to Xibalba was filled with obstacles: first a river filled
with scorpions, a river filled with blood, and then a river filled with pus.
Beyond these was a crossroads where travellers had to choose from among four
roads that spoke in an attempt to confuse and beguile. Upon passing these
obstacles, one would come upon the Xibalba council place, where it was expected
visitors would greet the seated Lords. Realistic mannequins were seated near
the Lords to confuse and humiliate people who greeted them, and the confused
would then be invited to sit upon a bench, which was actually a hot cooking
surface. The Lords of Xibalba would entertain themselves by humiliating people
in this fashion before sending them into one of Xibalba's deadly tests.
The city
was home to at least six deadly houses filled with trials for visitors. The
first was Dark House, a house that was completely dark inside. The second was
Rattling House or Cold House, full of bone-chilling cold and rattling hail. The
third was Jaguar House, filled with hungry jaguars. The fourth was Bat House,
filled with dangerous shrieking bats, and the fifth was Razor House, filled
with blades and razors that moved about of their own accord. In another part of
the Popol Vuh, a sixth test, Hot House, filled with fires and heat, is
identified. The purpose of these tests was to either kill or humiliate people
placed into them if they could not outwit the test.
Downfall of Xibalba
Xibalba was
home of a famous ballcourt in which the heroes of the Popol Vuh succumbed to
the trickery of the Xibalbans in the form of a deadly, bladed ball, as well as
the site in which the Maya Hero Twins outwitted the Xibalbans and brought about
their downfall.
According
to the Popol Vuh, the Xibalbans at one point enjoyed the worship of the people
on the surface of the Earth, who offered human sacrifice to the gods of death.
Over the span of time covered in the Popol Vuh, the Xibalbans are tricked into
accepting counterfeit sacrifices, and then finally humiliated into accepting
lesser offerings from above. Anthropologist Dennis Tedlock has speculated that
this version of history may be a Quichean slander on earlier Mayan forms of
worship.
The role of
Xibalba and the Xibalbans after their great defeat at the hands of the hero
twins is unclear, although it seems to have continued its existence as a dark
place of the underworld long after.
Modern cultural references
Xibalba Sulcus, one of the geological
features on Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, is named after Xibalba.
The place is featured in the films The
Fountain as Orion nebula[11] and The Road to El Dorado as an eternal whirlpool.
The place is featured in the video games
Tomb Raider Underworld, Atlantis II, Persona 2: Tsumi
The place is featured in Jon Rosenberg's
Goats (webcomic).
The place is prominent in Steve Alten's
science fiction novel Domain.
A mini-series, "The Princes of
Xibalba", are four songs by the band Estradasphere, on the album It's
Understood.
The Guatemala-Mayan author Luis de Lión
wrote the novel El tiempo principia en Xibalbá (Time Began in Xibalba, publ.
1985).
In the book The Necromancer: The Secrets of
the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott, it is a shadow realm, a large
cave, known as the Crossroads of the Shadowrealms
The club owned by Dee Snider's character in
the movie Strangeland is called Xibalba. According to the movie, Xibalba means
"Door to Hell".
Beat poet Allen Ginsberg described a visit
to the place in his 1954 poem 'Sieste in Xbalba'.
In the book Pastwatch: The Redemption of
Christopher Columbus by Orson Scott Card, after traveling back through time to
15th century Central America, the character Hunahpu plays the part of a
messenger of "The Lords of Xibalba" to his Indian ancestors, as part
of a plan to change their beliefs and create a less-aggressive alternative future.
In the video game Persona 2, the final
dungeon is Xibalba, which due to a curse on Sumaru City involving rumours
becoming reality, is an ancient spaceship that levitates the entire city in the
air. Several Mayan demons are also in the game, such as Camazotz (who is
frequently encountered in Xibalba itself). One method of reaching Xibalba is
going through the Silver Silver, also known as the Milky Way.
Level two of the video game Pitfall: The
Mayan Adventure takes place in Xibalba.
The Rotting Christ 2013 album's Κατά Τον
Δαίμονα Εαυτού first song is entitled In Yumen -

KOED realms: LYONESSE ~ Ruled by Elpis Riddick- Lust and Richard B. Riddick ~
KOED-LY (Lyonesse) ~~ RULED BY ELPIS
RIDDICK-LUST AND RICHARD B. RIDDICK~~
History
The legend
of a sunken kingdom appears in both Cornish and Breton mythology. In Christian
times it came to be viewed as a sort of Cornish Sodom and Gomorrah, an example
of divine wrath provoked by unvirtuous living, although the parallels were
limited in that Lyonesse remained in Cornish thought very much a mystical and
mythical land, comparable to the role of Tir na nÓg in Irish mythology.
Geography
Those who
may stand on the extreme point of the Land′s End, and, looking over that space
where the waters of the Atlantic mix with those of the British Channel, see in
the far distance the Scilly Islands, will have to call upon their imagination
to conceive that these broad waters roll over a country which has existed
within historic time.
A region of
extreme fertility, we are told, once united the Scilly Islands with Western
Cornwall. A people, known as the Silures, inhabited this tract,--which has been
called the Lyonesse, or sometimes Lethowsow,--who were remarkable for their
industry and their piety.
The rocks
called the Seven Stones are said to mark the place of a large city. Even
tradition is silent on the character of this great cataclysm. 
Lyonesse
was famous for over 140 chapel, cathedrals and churches before it sank. After
the rising those buildings were turned into holy and unholy places of
knowledge, lore and learning. Closely connected and protected by the Elders of
Hy-Brasil, these places have been turned into schools and libraries.
The largest
chapel of Lyonesse was turned into The Great Library – it is the seat and
domain of The Librarian, who is ruler of Lynonesse. The size of the building is
deceiving as its proportions are not bound to the physical appearance. 
The Great
Library is an overwhelming structure that rules the scenery of Lyonesse and is
filled with thousands of books, scrolls, relics and papers concerning the Lust
family, magic, lore and power. It can easily compaired with the Great Library
of Alexandria.
By raising
the island the trinity of the Elder Island – Avalon, Hy-Brasil and Lyonesse –
is restored. Portal have been activated that allow the journey from any given
point of the island to either the KOED mainland in Avalon or to Hy-Brasil. The
Harrowgates do not allow travel to Lyonesse, but only away from Lyonesse, as
safety measure.
In sea-cold
Lyonesse,
When the
Sabbath eve shafts down
On the
roofs, walls, belfries
Of the
foundered town,
The Nereids
pluck their lyres
Where the
green translucency beats,
And with
motionless eyes at gaze
Make
ministrely in the streets./
And the
ocean water stirs
In
salt-worn casement and porch
Plies the
blunt-nosed fish
With fire
in his skull for torch.
And the
ringing wires resound;
And the
unearthly lovely weep,
In lament
of the music they make
In the
sullen courts of sleep:
Whose
marble flowers bloom for aye:
And—lapped
by the moon-guiled tide—
Mock their
carver with heart of stone,
Caged in
his stone-ribbed side.
Government
The Librarian:
The
Librarian had always been the secret ruler of Lyonesse – also called “the
lioness”. The 8 houses of the Order of Elders usually appointed The Librarian. Elpis
Riddick-Lust - is the official ruler of Lyonesse and in charge of all books.
All protective spells are bound to the Librarian. She is warrior, magican and
scholar at the same time as she has to protect the extreme amount of knowledge
and power stored in KOED’s biggest library.
As there is
so much power and knowledge stored and the need to gather information as well
as sort it, she has a chosen group of trusted individuals that help her. They
are called the Librarians. Elpis Riddick-Lust is the eldest daughter of Michael
and Galatea Lust of Hy-Brasil and Goddess of Geysers and Hotsprings.
She has
special skill sets as she bears a physical and emotional link to her father, as
a living proof of his love to his wife. In her the contrasting concepts of
water and fire, heaven and hell, demon and angel unite and struggle. Therefore
is her personality is usually very controlled. This explains how decided to
devote her love and lust to only one man, despite her demonic heritage.
The Librarians:
Each
Librarian usually brings certain qualities to Lyonesse that help him or her
perform their duties. They are usually chosen by the Librarian or sent by one
of the 8 houses of the Elders.
The Guardian:
Each
Librarian ruler had a guardian who would be willing to lay their life down for
The Librarian and therefore often were the mates of The Librarian.
He is The
Guardian, also called “the lion” who is a very important person in a place full
of knowledge and power. He protects and advises The Librarian. All guards in
every house, school and library is under his command.
Richard
B.Riddick was a Furyan orphan, who has started his life fighting against the
odds. Once a feared and hunted outlaw, he now has found his home in Hy-Brasil
were he took Elpis as is wife.
Still
feared for his strength and merciless training, he is no longer a hunted man,
but a respected man. A loving husband and father, a fierce fighter and
protector in Hy-Brasil who gained his immortality.
The Order
of the Elders:
The Order of the Elders is a group of skilled
magic users who are bound to a code of honor. They protect knowledge and pass
it on. But they are separated into 8 different houses to part the power their
combined knowledge could hold. Each member of the Council of Elders is guardian
to one specific book of power. Only The Librarian has access to all books and
each house. They are prohibited to interfere with temporal matters or playing
favorites with kings to gain influence. They service the rulers of the Elder
Isles with advise though.
On Council
meetings in Hy-Brasil for example all 8 houses need to be represented or none
will be heard.
The Trinity of Elder Isles
By raising
Lyonesse, the trinity of the Elder Isles is restored. The Elder Isles are:
Avalon, Hy-Brasil and Lyonesse. With that old technical devices that channel
and control magical energy have been revived and artifacts activated.
Part of the
recent task of the Librarians, Elpis and Richard is to find relics that have
been strewn all over the globe to prevent them from falling into the wrong
hands.

KOED realms: HY-BRASIL ~ Ruled by Michael and Galatea Lust ~
KOED -HyB (Hy-Brasil) ~~RULED BY MICHAEL AND
GALATEA LUST~~
History
The island
has been visited by many people for centuries and was also called “The Blessed
Isle”, especially by the Galater who believed their goddess dwelt there. Both
Saint Barrind and Saint Brendan found the island on their respective voyages,
and returned home with nearly identical descriptions of Hy-Brasil, which they
dubbed the “Promised Land.” One of the most famous visits to Hy-Brasil was in
1674 by Captain John Nisbet of Killybegs, Co. Donegal, Ireland. He and his crew
were in familiar waters west of Ireland, when a fog came up. As the fog lifted,
the ship was dangerously close to rocks. While getting their bearings, the ship
anchored in three fathoms of water, and four crew members rowed ashore to visit
Hy-Brasil. They spent a day on the island, and returned with silver and gold
given to them by an old man who lived there. Upon the return of the crew to
Ireland, a second ship set out under the command of Alexander Johnson. They,
too, found the hospitable island of Hy-Brasil and returned to Ireland to
confirm the tales of Captain Nisbet and crew. The last documented sighting of
Hy-Brasil was in 1872, when author T. J. Westropp and several companions saw
the island appear and then vanish. This was Mr. Westropp’s third view of
Hy-Brasil, but on this voyage he had brought his mother and some friends to
verify the existence of Hy-Brasil.
The island
was said to rise from the ocean or be revealed from the fog shrouding it every
seven years. It did indeed rise from the ocean before Michael and Galatea took
rule over the island. Since then only the fog has shrouded the island from
view, although it is lifted at need whenever expected visitors approach.
Geography
Hy-Brasil
is situated west of the Southern part of Ireland. Tales and legend has it that
the island can be found sailing west from the Ring of Kerry or Galway. Old maps
depict the island as a small circular island that is parted by a big river.
Shallow-water shells have been found at Porcupine Bank, somewhat northwest of
the most likely location of Hy-Brasil. Even further north, similar shells were
discovered at Rockhall. So, there is evidence of land mass changes in that part
of the Atlantic Ocean. The most distinctive geographical feature of Hy-Brasil
is that it appears on maps as a perfect circle, with a semi-circular channel
through the center.
The river
parting the Western and Eastern part of Hy-Brasil is called the Black River due
to the black and red sands that the rivers carry from flowing through certain
areas of Hy-Brasil. It’s origin are a multitude of fresh water springs situated
on the North Eastern and Western side of the island, where they flow down to
the ocean, carrying fertile red sand with them. They mix with sea water and the
water of many hot springs that form a flat, volcanic area towards the North.
Here the black volcanic ashes and ground is eroded. The red and black sands are
very fertile which might explain the lush and overwhelming amount of flowers,
trees and crops on the island. That led to the name the Blessed Isle too.
Where the
waters running from the Northern hills meet the volcanic area lots of geysers
and hot springs add to the mythical mist that hides the island from unfriendly
eyes and unwelcome visitors. Partially the hot springs are fed by fresh water
and ocean water, due to the cavern beneath this part of the island. It is
speculated that the volcanic activity of the island as well as the climate
change over the eons caused the rise and fall of the island, but the constant
shroud of mist hiding the island against the horizon more than likely is the
main reason why Hy-Brasil has not been discovered more often by passing sailors
from the main European continent.
The Western
and Eastern coast alike are characterized by steep falling cliffs. The Western
shore falls towards the Black River, which means that this area receives a lot
of rain and holds the most fertile farmlands of the island.
The Eastern
coast rises steep from the ocean and is unfriendly to approach. On its far
Southern peak a watchtower guides the way into the calm and shallow waters of
the mouth of the Black River and the largest harbor of Hy-Brasil. Despite the
height of the Eastern plateau springs can be found here that feed a few lakes
and smaller rivers that cascade down the Eastern cliffs at some places. Where
these waterfalls and the rough ocean currents meet vapor rises also, which adds
to the distinct fog shrouding the island.
Upon the
Eastern shore of the Black River lies also the largest city of Hy-Brasil,
Cimeria, just below the Watchtower and not far from the friendly beaches of the
Southern coast of Hy-Brasil.
Climate/Ecology
The climate
of Hy-Brasil lacks seasons for the most part even though it could well be
described as oceanic. The Gulf Stream carries warm waters past the Eastern and
Southern coast and the volcanic activity in the North ensures a steady mild
climate.
The summers
in Hy-Brasil are mild, rarely hot and it rains regularly. Spring and fall seem
to lack completely. Winters can be cool, but usually lack frost and snow. Only
the highest point and most Northern regions know snowfall, which doesn’t cover
the ground for long though. Winters can be very rainy though.
Due to the
mild climate, fertile grounds and consistent amount of rain the island the
vegetation is evergreen and trees as well as flowers steadily bear blossoms and
fruit at the same time. This caused many of the legendary tales that the trees
of Hy-Brasil were ever in blossom and the flowers carried jewels.
Farmlands
produce crops all year round and livestock grows fat and healthy on the
evergreen pastures of the lands.
Upon the
cliffs of the Eastern and Western coast many seabirds breed. The waters around
Hy-Brasil strive from the constant flow of small organisms that live in the
Gulf Stream, so the waters are full of fish. A curiosity is the high amount of
cetae living in Hy-Brasil’s waters, which is likely due to the Lady of
Hy-Brasil as well as the so called “Daughters of Hy-Brasil”.
Economy
The
inhabitants of Hy-Brasil are mostly farmers and fishermen, although everyone in
Hy-Brasil shows hospitality to the guests coming to the island. The larger
settlements house lots of training facilities as well as accommodations for
those coming to the island for rest, retreat and recovery.
Main source
of income export in Hy-Brasil are the trade of seafood, crops and livestock,
but also medical care, wellness and physical training. Guano and seabird
feathers are another trade item of the island. A mild form of tourism adds to
the income. Indeed some of the trees of Hy-Brasil produce gem like fruit that
are sold for making jewelry and glassware. Silver and gold are found in the
Black River and in the caverns below the islands formed by volcanic activity;
both metals are traded too, but also source of the wealth of even common
people.
Due to the
wealth of goods and food the inhabitants of Hy-Brasil enjoy culture and
education so that even the simple farmer has access and time to education. The
school system consists of a primary school, which takes care of smaller
children from age 5 to 12 and is followed by secondary education from 13 to 16.
After that the most skilled students can join the Council of the Wise and
become learners of lore there.
Overall the
people of Hy-Brasil are relaxed and open minded to all visitors, no matter
their origin and nature. Therefore population consists of all sorts of species
from demonic realms to heavens, but mostly simply people whose decent is from
Atlantis, Avalon and the European continent.
Government
Hy-Brasil
is ruled by the Lord and Lady of Hy-Brasil, Michael and Galatea Lust. A small
of group of advisors and elders from the settlements on Hy-Brasil give council
to the family. As the island is rather small and has only few inhabitants there
is no need for a larger council.
In Cimeria
however sits the council of the wise, which takes care of the schools and tends
to the libraries of the island as well as medical research. Their medical
masters offer their aid to everyone in Hy-Brasil, receiving their pay from the
gathered taxes.
The capitol
also holds the largest training facility of the island, famed for the excellent
training of warriors. The guards trained there are directly commanded by the
Lord of Hy-Brasil or his son. The best fighters and warriors, that have proven
their worth in the guard, are then called to the “Round Table of KOED”, making
them knights of the realm.
The
“Daughters of Hy-Brasil” take care of different aspects and regions of the
island, depending on their skills and preferences. They all serve the Lord and
Lady as councilors and bring word from their region to court, tending to the
matters of each region as a guardian and councilor.
Religion Due to the
variety of inhabitants there are several temples that are taken care of by the
“Daughters of Hy-Brasil”. Just outside
of Cimeria a temple can be found that serves the worship of water deities,
including the Lady of Hy-Brasil.

KOED realms: LEMURIA ~ Ruled by Morgana Lust ~
LEMURIA ~~RULED BY MORGANA LUST~~
Lemuria /lɨˈmjʊəriə/ is the name of a hypothetical
"lost land" variously located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The
concept's 19th century origins lie in attempts to account for discontinuities
in biogeography; however, the concept of Lemuria has been rendered obsolete by
modern theories of plate tectonics. Although sunken continents do exist – like
Zealandia in the Pacific as well as Mauritia and the Kerguelen Plateau in the
Indian Ocean – there is no known geological formation under the Indian or
Pacific Oceans that corresponds to the hypothetical Lemuria - except Sundaland.
Though
Lemuria is no longer considered a valid scientific hypothesis, it has been
adopted by writers involved in the occult, as well as some Tamil writers of
India. Accounts of Lemuria differ, but all share a common belief that a
continent existed in ancient times and sank beneath the ocean as a result of a
geological, often cataclysmic, change, such as pole shift.
In 1864 the
zoologist and biogeographer Philip Sclater wrote an article on "The
Mammals of Madagascar" in The Quarterly Journal of Science. Using a
classification he referred to as lemurs but which included related primate
groups, and puzzled by the presence of their fossils in both Madagascar and
India but not in Africa or the Middle East, Sclater proposed that Madagascar
and India had once been part of a larger continent. He wrote:
The anomalies of the Mammal fauna of
Madagascar can best be explained by supposing that ... a large continent
occupied parts of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans ... that this continent was
broken up into islands, of which some have become amalgamated with ... Africa,
some ... with what is now Asia; and that in Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands
we have existing relics of this great continent, for which ... I should propose
the name Lemuria!
Sclater's
theory was hardly unusual for his time: "land bridges", real and
imagined, fascinated several of Sclater's contemporaries. Étienne Geoffroy
Saint-Hilaire, also looking at the relationship between animals in India and
Madagascar, had suggested a southern continent about two decades before
Sclater, but did not give it a name. The acceptance of Darwinism led scientists
to seek to trace the diffusion of species from their points of evolutionary
origin. Prior to the acceptance of continental drift, biologists frequently
postulated submerged land masses in order to account for populations of
land-based species now separated by barriers of water. Similarly, geologists
tried to account for striking resemblances of rock formations on different
continents. The first systematic attempt was made by Melchior Neumayr in his
book Erdgeschichte in 1887. Many hypothetical submerged land bridges and
continents were proposed during the 19th century, in order to account for the
present distribution of species.
After
gaining some acceptance within the scientific community, the concept of Lemuria
began to appear in the works of other scholars. Ernst Haeckel, a German
Darwinian taxonomist, proposed Lemuria as an explanation for the absence of
"missing link" fossil records. According to another source, Haeckel
put forward this thesis prior to Sclater (but without using the name
"Lemuria"). Locating the origins of the human species on this lost
continent, he claimed the fossil record could not be found because it sunk
beneath the sea.
Other
scientists hypothesized that Lemuria had extended across parts of the Pacific
oceans, seeking to explain the distribution of various species across Asia and
the Americas.
J. H Moore
writing in his book Savage Survivals (1933) wrote:
It is
believed that man evolved somewhere in southern Asia, or possibly, still
further south than the present boundary of Asia, in lands now drowned by the
Indian Ocean. This supposed land is called Lemuria.
Superseded
The Lemuria
theory disappeared completely from conventional scientific consideration after
the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift were accepted by the
larger scientific community. According to the theory of plate tectonics (the
current accepted paradigm in geology), Madagascar and India were indeed once
part of the same landmass (thus accounting for geological resemblances), but
plate movement caused India to break away millions of years ago, and move to
its present location. The original landmass broke apart – it did not sink
beneath sea level.[citation needed]
In 1999,
drilling by the JOIDES Resolution research vessel in the Indian Ocean
discovered evidence that a large island, the Kerguelen Plateau, was submerged
about 20 million years ago by rising sea levels. Samples showed pollen and
fragments of wood in a 90-million-year-old sediment. Although this discovery
might encourage scholars to expect similarities in dinosaur fossil evidence,
and may contribute to understanding the breakup of the Indian and Australian
land masses, it does not support the concept of Lemuria as a land bridge for
mammals.
In 2013,
the study of grains of sand from the beaches of Mauritius lead to the
conclusion that a similar landmass would have existed between 2,000 and 85
million years ago.
Blavatsky,
Elliot, and Bramwell
Map of
Lemuria superimposed over the modern continents from Scott-Elliott's The Story
of Atlantis and Lost Lemuria.
Lemuria
entered the lexicon of the Occult through the works of Helena Blavatsky, who
claimed to have been shown an ancient, pre-Atlantean Book of Dzyan by the
Mahatmas. Lemuria is mentioned in an 1882 Mahatma letter to A.P. Sinnett.
According to L. Sprague de Camp, Blavatsky's concept of Lemuria was influenced
by other contemporaneous writers on the theme of Lost Continents, notably
Ignatius L. Donnelly, American cult leader Thomas Lake Harris and the French
writer Louis Jacolliot.
Within
Blavatsky's complex cosmology, which includes seven "Root Races",
Lemuria was occupied by the "Third Root Race", described as being
about 7 feet (2.1 m) tall, sexually hermaphroditic, egg-laying, mentally
undeveloped and spiritually more pure than the following "Root Races".
Before the coming of the Lemurians, the second "Root Race" is said to
have dwelled in Hyperborea. After the subsequent creation of mammals, Mme
Blavatsky revealed to her readers, some Lemurians turned to bestiality. The
gods, aghast at the behavior of these "mindless" men, sank Lemuria
into the ocean and created a "Fourth Root Race" – endowed with
intellect – on Atlantis.
One of the
most elaborate accounts of lost continents was given by the later theosophical
author William Scott-Elliot. The English theosophist received his knowledge
from Charles Webster Leadbeater, who communicated with the Theosophical Masters
by "astral clairvoyance". In 1896 he published The Story of Atlantis,
followed in 1904 by The Lost Lemuria, in which he included a map of the continent
of Lemuria as stretching from the east coast of Africa across the Indian and
the Pacific Oceans.
James
Bramwell described Lemuria in his book, Lost Atlantis, as "a continent
that occupied a large part of what is now the South Pacific Ocean." Bramwell
described the people of Lemuria in detail and attributed them with being one of
the "root-races of humanity." According to Bramwell, Lemurians are
the ancestors of the Atlanteans, who survived the period "of the general
racial decadence which affected the Lemurians in the last stages of their
evolution." From "a select division of" the Atlanteans – after
their promotion to decadence – Bramwell claims the Aryan race arose.
"Lemurians, Atlanteans, and Aryans are root-races of humanity",
according to Bramwell.
Lemuria and Mount Shasta
In 1894,
Frederick Spencer Oliver published A Dweller on Two Planets, which claimed that
survivors from a sunken continent called Lemuria were living in or on Mount
Shasta in northern California. Oliver claimed the Lemurians lived in a complex
of tunnels beneath the mountain and occasionally were seen walking the surface
dressed in white robes.
This belief
has since been repeated by Guy Warren Ballard, followers of the Ascended
Masters and the Great White Brotherhood, and Bridge to Freedom, The Summit
Lighthouse, Church Universal and Triumphant, and Kryon.
Kumari Kandam and Lemuria
"Lemuria"
in Tamil nationalist mysticist literature, connecting Madagascar, South India
and Australia (covering most of the Indian Ocean).
Some Tamil
writers such as Devaneya Pavanar have tried to associate Lemuria with Kumari
Kandam, a legendary sunken landmass mentioned in the Tamil literature, claiming
that it was the cradle of civilization.

RULES and Mission Statement of KOED by Desdemona Lust
Mission Statement
Kingdom of Erotic Desires is dedicated to providing a place for all beings to
find a place when they have none to go to. We will strive to implement a long
term relationship with our members, based on providing for all their needs and
their desires to strive farther in this kingdom and beyond. To help fulfill
this mission, we will treat all members fairly and involve them in the quality
improvement process to insure responsiveness and have an equal say within the
kingdom on issues.
Rules of KINGDOM OF EROTIC
DESIRES.
1. Respect of your fellow roleplayers within this kingdom, . This is the
following things you should do to respect all who are here to write (don't have
to but I would like to see it among the members to form a stronger bond):
**Communicate from your heart; solve problems from your head
a hello is worth a million times more than silence.
**Be kind to others. Treat people in a way that allows them to maintain their
dignity out of char
**Every action brings about a reaction
**Learn to ask for help in rp if you feel overwhelmed or perhaps a little
writers block on a reply
**Show people you care by listening to them and trying to understand a point of
view that may not seem right to you.
**Give compliments freely. An encouraging word at the right moment brings out
the best in people. so if the writing is good say it is, a pic is say so.
**Being right is different from acting righteous
**Balance your role play with your real life so you have a moment or so to
yourself just to reflect.
**Laugh often
**Show patience with other peoples flaws.....not everyone is perfect. don't
expect it.
**Take time to evaluate your own attitude and actions....
**Make amends when you are wrong
**Learn to forgive yourself and others
**Be compassionate towards others, demonstrating your support in difficult
times
**Build shared goals; be a team player with your fellow roleplayers
saying thank you goes a long way.
**Remember that listening something that will take you far
2. Respect of the Queen of this kingdom. if you are in the kingdom she is the
only one that you should have on your list.......the rest are in another rule.
But always show respect for her, if you do not like something come to her, and
speak, it will be fixed somehow
3. Others within the kingdom......if you are a member you have the right to add
who you want in the kingdom you do not have to add everyone just the
queen, and maybe the kingdom page. This is your char, it is
your choice. We do not punish if you wish to not have some in our kingdom on
your page.
4. drama (ooc/rp/rl drama and issues with IM's/cybering)......this here we are
talking about RL drama not RP drama as long as the rp drama is done in a story
line that can be followed.....if you can not do that do not bring the drama to
the kingdom.....this rule is: if you can't fix this problem between yourselves
in a respectable manner (aka not bring this drama into statuses, or bullies or
worse other people's status) then you may call upon the queen......the queen
will ask proof be presented to her, if this is an ooc matter, messages, im's or
even comments will be requested to be sent to the queen for reading from both
parties......if you can not present this proof and give the "oh I deleted
it" response then it shall be dismissed as untrue claim and not heard of
again....
5. any issues are brought to
the queen first before any words are exchanged between people... This is to
ensure all the facts are in place and there is no mistake on the issue this
includes issues in side the kingdom and outside.
6. many have multiple chars, so if you know that person has many different chars treat each and everyone of them like they are a different person. so, if one char said something against another... if that char is NOT in the kingdom that is not a kingdom issue. Keep it with that char. Yes you can stick up for your friends...but remember that char you are talking to at that moment is NOT a kingdom char. This alone will cut down unneeded drama down. and in some cases you can turn it into an sl that can give you some writing.
This rule will also include other websites, so if you have a Mary Lou Freebush in our kingdom.....which is only on Fandomain! we do not have KOED in any other website, We are a Fandomain only kingdom now. So you got Mary Lou Freebush here.... she is in our kingdom...and you know Tom Harrydick over on there who is with Jessie Comealong, here.... but you get all pissy because you have a char named Peggy Lou Rottoncrotch either here, or on another Rp website or even both.... and you are messing around with Tom Harrydick with your Peggy Lou Rottoncrotch or you two are a couple on another website, It is not okay to cross chars in our kingdom! do not attack that person with a different char of yours, MEANING: if that person did something to your Rottoncrotch char it is not okay to use your kingdom char of freebush to try to cause drama, or even attack someone.... or even a couple. What you do on your other char is not my concern! I am concern with your KOED char only.... and the drama you cause under that banner! So... do not cross your chars or even websites, I do not give a flying fuck who or what happens with what ever chars on another website, do you understand me!? This is Fandomain here.... that is our verse. If any of you do not understand any of this or you have a problem with keeping with the rules of the kingdom, you may message me, and let me know that you no longer wish to be in our kingdom.... Family is never disowned. ever! so if you chose to leave our kingdom you are still family, but I have no say over you.... I will only handle what is being done in my kingdom.... you are free to visit and such...
These are set in the rules of the main kingdom page, you were all asked to read over them, and if you didn't well that is on you for it is stated in our bylaws. I will be discussing with Randy, Michael and Gala through out the next two weeks, we will be updating all laws, and putting in some punishments for those who brake them. Right now... I am posting this as a warning to everyone..... DO NOT CROSS CHARS IN MY KINGDOM.
7. Membership.......Right now due to how the new home is, those who wish to
join the kingdom may come and speak to the queen. If we get a bit bigger
then a new application will be posted.
8. relationships......respect the relationships within the kingdom no matter if
they are open, closed, half and half sideways or upside down what ever the
parties involved choose for their relationships is their choice and you do not
have a right to put it down or even try to brake it up (unless it has been
talked to all the parties involved) so respect
9. Fighting........if you wish to do an rp fight please ooc the other person to
set up the fighting (even wars should be set up like this to do it within rp
rules please) set up rules and do so within an area of agreement.....(if just
two people comments or messages will work if a group blog is needed but needs
to be agreed upon on who's page.)
these rules are set for now......in time more might be added or even changed
when needed thank you
Queen Desdemona Lust's writer
