I figure, this might be an easier way to store unwanted thoughts, a pensive if you will.
Recently for instance, Thundercats.
Now i cant decide wether or not it sould be a Themed empire or actually cat people. The cats are desperately trying to unite all the scattered lands to finally destroy an ancient threat to them all. The Lich-like mumm-ra. However there is infighting, secret plots and utter resistance to joining a cat-led army, and other kingdoms desperate to solve their own immediate problems. Most havent even seen mumm-ra and have little belief he actually exists. However the cat menance trying to forcefully rule the world? That exists and they have tried before.
But reports come in, lands to the south, changing and twisted, belching out dark clouds. Entire villages disappearing and huge magic factories taking their place. Any entry deeper and reports dont come back at all.
They usually dont even believe those, until one day, during open battle with the 'religious-fanatical' cats...the dead start to groan, the dying start to ooze black blood. Then the first corpse rises and screams of bloodlust, then they all do.
Ive put some thought into Mumm-ra. Heavily corpse-like, think of the Earthmover from batman beyond and you're close. He floats rather that walks, and his magic is incredibly powerful. His Generals, the ones who swear alligence to him, he is able to pass on incredible power and strength but only does so if a complete emergency. A battle he knows he must win. But even if they die, and they will, he can resurrect them from his dark scrying pool. They return even more corpse like and rotted, but he can repair their flesh. Unless they have failed him one too many times. Then they suffer the agony or rotting slowly untill he has use for them.
