Background: Xisuma lives in a faraway land famous for the various buildings that defies possibility and his hermits that build them. While it is true that he is one of them, Xisuma is not only a music composer but also an admin/steward figure of the place, ensuring both the stability and functioning logistics of the land between the various hermits. Xisuma however, has a secret: for some reason he has a connection with the Void hence, his full name Xisumavoid. Although people do not bring up his full name often, Xisuma always feels the strange call and stares at the vast sky of the Overworld or the endless depth of the End. While there was no exchange of words, he always felt something or someone calling for him, pulling, inching forward from the dark depths but he could never reply or understand, until one day he was overseeing the land from a vantage point and saw some kind of light on the horizon engulfing the world. The land was disappearing. Xisuma panicked for a moment, but then he heard a call: “My chosen. To stop this advent embrace me. I shall give you the power to save the land. Look upon me.” Xisuma looked around but saw no one, until he looked up and saw IT. His two eyes reflected his being into two and cast the now divided Xisuma in two beings in another land. Separated, the two heard again the voice: “Upon you i now bestow my powers and a prophecy:”
Swift as the wind the ground rumbles
Burn the bubble when they stumbles
With blazing storms forward they dash
Cold hearts engraved in ash
One light and secrets will be hushed
Four shadows always clashed
Ring the bell falls the hammer
Sparks dance under the burnt banner
Clad in white we slowly fade
For in twilight’s hour we were remade
“When the prophecy is resolved, come find me. And you will return to your land untainted.” The two Xisuma were separated, one in the Overworld, the other in the End but they both knew what had to be done and no one would stand in their way.

Witch Engine (Monster)
Tumblr media
(Witch Engine by Kev Walker)
(Hey, I'm back for the time being! Sorry about my unannounced, impromptu hiatus- the simple fact is I live with ADHD, and my attention tends to wander. This is an attempt to get myself back on track, but I make no promises.
As for the witch engine herself- what an iconic creature! They've only got the one card, but they appear in the background of art in cards to represent Phyrexia's spread. With such a great design and a great name, I HAD to make these important to my Phyrexia.)
Witch engines are the hands of phyrexia, overseeing much of its ingress into other worlds directly. Indeed, most worlds touched by Phyrexia will know witch engines as the highest power therein, as a trio of these artificial horrors can orchestrate a planetary-scale infiltration and invasion with minimal guidance. But a witch engine is more than just a leader; she is a deadly weapon, capable of shredding through armies with a combination of necrotic magic and her own deadly whirling claws.
Because witch engines are required to organize a phyrexian assault and react to new planets' unique challenges, they are among the most independent and intelligent of phyrexians- each witch engine has its own personality matrix, with different engines being more cautious, curious, or patient than others. Each planetary invasion force is led by three such differing personalities, and each takes the others' opinion- as well as information from the current invasion- to arrive at the best plan of attack.
A witch engine typically keeps a skirge as a familiar, although other familiars with the Phyrexian template are not unheard of.

Right, bc being nominated for the top acting awards, people going insane for 3 minutes of airtime, people going nuts when he was announced at movie premieres or DC23, yeah, he's really going downhill. NOT. Believe it or not, there are ppl that... / I never said he’s going down hill, I said fans are losing interest. You also seem to be under the impression that I want people to leave. I don’t. But it’s happened. I don’t want the fandom to disappear but it is. I don’t base what I see off emotions.

Categorization and Index of Tools and Techniques …………………………………. 686 XXIX XXX Sa le or R A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge ep ro du ct io n . Part 1 N ot (PMBOK ® GUIDE ) The information contained in this part is not an American National Standard (ANS) and has not been processed in accordance with ANSI’s requirements for an ANS. As such, the information in this part may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consensus process. In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to an ANS standard. 1 IN T ROD U CTIO N 1.1 OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE Project management is not new. It has been in use for hundreds of years. Examples of project outcomes include: Pyramids of Giza, uu uu Olympic games, uu Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, uu uu Publication of a children’s book, uu Panama Canal, Development of commercial jet airplanes, uu Polio vaccine, uu uu Human beings landing on the moon, uu Commercial software applications, Portable devices to use the global positioning system (GPS), and uu uu Placement of the International Space Station into Earth’s orbit. The outcomes of these projects were the result of leaders and managers applying project management practices, principles, processes, tools, and techniques to their work. The managers of these projects used a set of key skills and applied knowledge to satisfy their customers and other people involved in and affected by the project. By the mid-20th century, project managers began the work of seeking recognition for project management as a profession. One aspect of this work involved obtaining agreement on the content of the body of knowledge (BOK) called project management. This BOK became known as the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The Project Management Institute (PMI) produced a baseline of charts and glossaries for the PMBOK. Project managers soon realized that no single book could contain the entire PMBOK. Therefore, PMI developed and published A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). PMI defines the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK) as a term that describes the knowledge within the profession of project management. The project management body of knowledge includes proven traditional practices that are widely applied as well as innovative practices that are emerging in the profession. 1 The body of knowledge (BOK) includes both published and unpublished materials. This body of knowledge is constantly evolving. This PMBOK® Guide identifies a subset of the project management body of knowledge that is generally recognized as good practice. Generally recognized means the knowledge and practices described are applicable to most projects most of the uu time, and there is consensus about their value and usefulness. uu Good practice means there is general agreement that the application of the knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project management processes can enhance the chance of success over many projects in delivering the expected business values and results. The project manager works with the project team and other stakeholders to determine and use the appropriate generally recognized good practices for each project.
Determining the appropriate combination of processes, inputs, tools, techniques, outputs and life cycle phases to manage a project is referred to as “tailoring” the application of the knowledge described in this guide. This PMBOK® Guide is different from a methodology. A methodology is a system of practices, techniques, procedures, and rules used by those who work in a discipline. This PMBOK® Guide is a foundation upon which organizations can build methodologies, policies, procedures, rules, tools and techniques, and life cycle phases needed to practice project management. 1.1.1 THE STANDARD FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT This guide is based on The Standard for Project Management [1]. A standard is a document established by an authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example. As an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard, The Standard for Project Management was developed using a process based on the concepts of consensus, openness, due process, and balance. The Standard for Project Management is a foundational reference for PMI’s project management professional development programs and the practice of project management. Because project management needs to be tailored to fit the needs of the project, the standard and the guide are both based on descriptive practices, rather than prescriptive practices. Therefore, the standard identifies the processes that are considered good practices on most projects, most of the time. The standard also identifies the inputs and outputs that are usually associated with those processes. The standard does not require that any particular process or practice be performed. The Standard for Project Management is included as Part II of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). The PMBOK® Guide provides more detail about key concepts, emerging trends, considerations for tailoring the project management processes, and information on how tools and techniques are applied to projects. Project managers may use one or more methodologies to implement the project management processes outlined in the standard. 2 Part 1 – Guide The scope of this guide is limited to the discipline of project management, rather than the full spectrum of portfolios, programs, and projects. Portfolios and programs will be addressed only to the degree they interact with projects. PMI publishes two other standards that address the management of portfolios and programs: The Standard for Portfolio Management [2], and uu The Standard for Program Management [3]. uu 1.1.2 COMMON VOCABULARY A common vocabulary is an essential element of a professional discipline. The PMI Lexicon of Project Management Terms [4] provides the foundational professional vocabulary that can be consistently used by organizations, portfolio, program, and project managers and other project stakeholders. The Lexicon will continue to evolve over time. The glossary to this guide includes the vocabulary in the Lexicon along with additional definitions. There may be other industry-specific terms used in projects that are defined by that industry’s literature. 1.1.3 CODE OF ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT PMI publishes the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct [5] to instill confidence in the project management profession and to help an individual in making wise decisions, particularly when faced with difficult situations where the individual may be asked to compromise his or her integrity or values. The values that the global project management community defined as most important were responsibility, respect, fairness, and honesty. The Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct affirms these four values as its foundation. The Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct includes both aspirational standards and mandatory standards. The aspirational standards describe the conduct that practitioners, who are also PMI members, certification holders, or volunteers, strive to uphold. Although adherence to the aspirational standards is not
easily measured, conduct in accordance with these is an expectation for those who consider themselves to be professionals—it is not optional. The mandatory standards establish firm requirements and, in some cases, limit or prohibit practitioner behavior. Practitioners who are also PMI members, certification holders, or volunteers and who do not conduct themselves in accordance with these standards will be subject to disciplinary procedures before PMI’s Ethics Review Committee. 3 1.2 FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS This section describes foundational elements necessary for working in and understanding the discipline of project management. 1.2.1 PROJECTS A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. Unique product, service, or result. Projects are undertaken to fulfill objectives by producing deliverables. uu An objective is defined as an outcome toward which work is to be directed, a strategic position to be attained, a purpose to be achieved, a result to be obtained, a product to be produced, or a service to be performed. A deliverable is defined as any unique and verifiable product, result, or capability to perform a service that is required to be produced to complete a process, phase, or project. Deliverables may be tangible or intangible. Fulfillment of project objectives may produce one or more of the following deliverables: nuA unique product that can be either a component of another item, an enhancement or correction to an item, or a new end item in itself (e.g., the correction of a defect in an end item); nuA unique service or a capability to perform a service (e.g., a business function that supports production or distribution); nuA unique result, such as an outcome or document (e.g., a research project that develops knowledge that can be used to determine whether a trend exists or a new process will benefit society); and nuA unique combination of one or more products, services, or results (e.g., a software application, its associated documentation, and help desk services). Repetitive elements may be present in some project deliverables and activities. This repetition does not change the fundamental and unique characteristics of the project work. For example, office buildings can be constructed with the same or similar materials and by the same or different teams. However, each building project remains unique in key characteristics (e.g., location, design, environment, situation, people involved). Projects are undertaken at all organizational levels. A project can involve a single individual or a group. A project can involve a single organizational unit or multiple organizational units from multiple organizations. 4 Part 1 – Guide Examples of projects include but are not limited to: nuDeveloping a new pharmaceutical compound for market, nuExpanding a tour guide service, nuMerging two organizations, nuImproving a business process within an organization, nuAcquiring and installing a new computer hardware system for use in an organization, nuExploring for oil in a region, nuModifying a computer software program used in an organization, nuConducting research to develop a new manufacturing process, and nuConstructing a building. uu Temporary endeavor. The temporary nature of projects indicates that a project has a definite beginning and end. Temporary does not necessarily mean a project has a short duration. The end of the project is reached when one or more of the following is true: nuThe project’s objectives have been achieved; nuThe objectives will not or cannot be met; nuFunding is exhausted or no longer available for allocation to the project; nuThe need for the project no longer exists (e.g., the custom… CLICK HERE TO GET A PROFESSIONAL WRITER TO WORK ON THIS PAPER AND OTHER SIMILAR PAPERS CLICK THE BUTTON TO MAKE YOUR ORDER

Stag Dragon (Monster)
Tumblr media
(model by Safari ltd)
(My partner is really into animal toy collecting; they particularly like dinosaurs, but exposure to Safari has since got me exposed to their dragon line. Which has some genuinely cool, interesting design!
Anyway, a long-term theme you'll see in this blog is Cool Mounts, quadrupedal Large creatures that can be ridden by creatures of various levels. This one, I imagine, is perfect for a druid or ranger in a forest's hour of need.)
CR11 CG Large Dragon (Air)
Dazzling creatures of the forest, stag dragons are rarely seen by humanoids, preferring invisibility or the guise of a fey shape to keep themselves hidden. They are herbivores, browsing on high foliage and fast-growing ferns, although they are deliberately careful not to overgraze in any one tree or spot.
Stag dragons are guardians of the local ecology of their region. They monitor the wellbeing of their undergrowth, of the deer they run with, and the many small creatures from insects to songbirds that live in their home. They tend to allow forage and subsistence hunting, understanding humanoids as part of the ecology, but do not permit civilization's encroach.
In times of crisis, stag dragons are known to take valorous and trustworthy heroes as riders, although this agreement typically lasts as long as the danger.
This beautiful creature is clearly draconic in nature, but its graceful legs and branching horns call to mind a noble stag.

A creature that fails its save against is blinded for 1 round; all creatures hit are then subject to the stag dragon’s illumination. The breath weapon also destroys all fog it hits, although most magical fogs will return a round after being dispersed. Eldritch Grace- A stag dragon gets a deflection bonus to AC equal to its charisma modifier. Illumination- A creature dealt damage by a stag dragon’s horns or breath weapon must make a DC23 Will save or be illuminated for 1 hour. A creature illuminated this way glows with silvery light; they take a -20 circumstance penalty to Stealth checks against seeing creatures and cannot benefit from concealment, even if invisible.
