TURKS :: Chronology
The Turkic speaking Uighurs were one of many distinct cultural groups brought together by the trade of the Silk Route at Turfan in Chinese Central Asia. The Uighurs, primarily pastoral nomads, observed a number of religions including Manichaeism, Buddhism, and Nestorian Christianity. Many of the artefacts from this period were found in the 19 th century in this remote desert region of China. The Seljuks were another Central Asian nomadic group. The Seljuks were Sunni Muslims . The last Seljuk sultan died in battle in 1194 when the Great Seljuks were defeated by the Mongols. These enigmatic paintings are by Muhammad Siyah Qalam – ‘Muhammad of the Black Pen’. Timur (1336-1405) is known in the west as Tamerlane. It was during Timur’s reign that the nomadic steppe culture of Central Asia fused with the settled culture of Iran. Contemporaries noted Timur’s preoccupation with history.

Enuma Elish: Babylonian Creation Myth
Dennis Bratcher The Enuma Elish is a Babylonian or Mesopotamian myth of creation recounting the struggle between cosmic order and chaos. It is basically a myth of the cycle of seasons. This version was written sometime in the 12th century BC in cuneiform on seven clay tablets. However, there are simply too many similarities to deny any relationship between the accounts. The version presented here is a combination of several translations but is substantially based on the translation of E. Tablet I The stage is set for the story. When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not been called by name, When primordial Apsu, their begetter, And Mummu-Tiamat, she who bore them all, Their waters mingled as a single body, No reed hut had sprung forth, no marshland had appeared, None of the gods had been brought into being, And none bore a name, and no destinies determined-- Then it was that the gods were formed in the midst of heaven. "My little son, my little son!" Tablet II

I don’t know about you but when I sit down for a one-shot game with a pregen character, I can’t always come up with a unique and interesting personality on the fly. Using the Generator is a snap. Motivation: What is it that really gets your character’s motor running? Instinct: What is your character’s first reaction to a threat (physical or otherwise)? Approach: What archetype is your character best known for being? Now just because every character in D&D is combat-capable does not necessarily make them all warrior-type personalities.

Armenië
Armenië is sinds 2001 lid van de Raad van Europa. Staatshoofd (president) is Serzj Sarkisian, regeringsleider (minister-president) Tigran Sargsian. Het land grenst aan Georgië, Azerbeidzjan, Iran en Turkije. Geschiedenis[bewerken] De tempel van Garni (1e eeuw n.Chr.) Het bergklooster van Tatev (in Syunik) Armenië is een van de oudste landen ter wereld en omvatte vroeger een veel groter gebied dan nu. Armenië is meerdere malen in zijn geschiedenis geannexeerd door buitenlandse rijken, zoals door dat van de Meden, Achaemeniden, Seleuciden, Sassaniden en verscheidene Arabische en Turkse machten zoals het Rashidun-Kalifaat en door de Seltsjoeken. In de 19e eeuw kwam een groot deel (Perzisch deel) van Armenië onder het bestuur van het Russische Rijk. In december 1988 vond er een zware aardbeving plaats in het noorden van het land.

"The Heroic Monomyth." Library.thinkquest.org. Webweavers, 5 Aug. 2011. Web. 5 Dec. 2012. < by gregorypeters Dec 6
The heroic monomyth, as described in this article, is the common stages of a hero’s journey that most stories follow. The journey starts with the hero/heroine being called to adventure. At first the hero will deny the claim and refuse to partake in the adventure. Later, the hero will have to overcome a few trials and tribulations that will better their character and skill set. Finally, after all is said and done, the hero will reach an understanding with himself and will be able to live freely. This resource relates to the overall plot of Super Human in many ways. One way that it relates to the book is that many of the heroes or heroines follow these specific paths. When applied to the book as a whole, one is able to predict most of the outcomes of specific situations due to the precise alignment with the monomyth. by gregorypeters Dec 4
