Woo-hoo!
I'm really excited to see some lore stuff starting to take off in different directions! :)

I noticed the Boss Fight topic being discussed yesterday in general chat, but I was too busy to get involved. :) Of course, boss fights haven't started yet. They will be added with an upcoming expansion (that will blow everyone away).

I haven't committed to much information about the Mushroom People of Anumun, but there are a few things we already know...

Within the Centauri Wood of northeastern Anumun, there is a hidden place known only as the Mushroom Forest. From there, the Mushroom People have been emerging and making themselves known.

Since Mushroom Seer was added as a later reward card, the Mushroom People were added as a somewhat new type of creature to the Splinterlands, at least new to the current residents. I like the idea of them being ancient though; this gives us more room in history to build a rich backstory.

I also like that they involve crystals, as crystals are a key component of the magic of several Splinters. The only issue I have is that they cannot be "as big as mountains." That's just too darn big, and we already have tons of huge monsters. I will definitely mention that they were that big in history. A Mushroom that big would have already taken over the world anyway. lol

Also, the Planet in Splinterlands is not called Earth, but simply "The Planet." Earth is used to describe the materials that make up the Planet, as in "I picked up a handful of earth from the ground." So you know going forward with lore, this is actually a completely different planet than earth, far far away. The big story begins with the crash of a spaceship. ;)

Anyway, I won't go on here forever. I'm just excited to see our lore vision starting to spread! Please use me as a resource; I will do my very best to work your complete vision into the permanent lore for Splinterlands.

The map I'm currently working on includes the home of the Mushroom People, in the area of the Thunder Plains and the Centauri Wood of Anumun, so let me know if you have any geographical ideas, villages or communities that you would like me to include. Now is the time for creation!

I know it seems like it's been forever since the first Kickstarter, but this is long-term, baby! Thanks for your patience, and thanks for taking the initiative on this!
