the bast land I created was for a troll bard of blood. the land of ink and glass was made almost entirely of the latter. it had a smooth surface with mushroom-like protrusions in the place of buildings and plant growth, also of glass. all of it was covered in gray dust and smog that made it impossible to see through, so that it looked like stone. As the quest was completed and the dust washed away, it would become clear glass and reveal that all of the strange formations were filled with ink in all the colors of the rainbow (hemospectrum), which Skaia’s light would shine through like stained glass. The idea was to gradually teach the bard to have more respect for his aspect.
