Moving onto my next headcanon: In this AU, Wotan acquired the cactus curse instead of the wood curse.
I kinda wonder what the other bosses would be…
what becomes of the other cultures? since, y’know, not everyone’s a cowboy.
I assume the samerian people remain the same, whereas ryujin dynasty is like, desert ninjas.
the fiber curse 
Today I learned that cactus wood is a thing
Nah, reverse them
Make them around a massive oasis, and make THEM invading keraxe, as a self defense measure after the treaty falls apart to protect their “sacred oasis”.
We help Wotan and his sons against probably one of the biggest resource sinks in existence, using the power of wotans curses.
This just made me think, what if elemental magics are made more common based on how common the elements are? Wood, Fire, Water, those are so common because you can’t walk ten feet without being able to see one in the distance. You can easily harness this stuff to make it into a magic.
I actually do have a lot of ideas for gameplay related things in this universe
like horses, cattle wrangling, shootouts, bartender reputations, mirages, strange anomalies, new weapon types etc etc etc
Livin’ in a gunslinger’s paradise
oh yea can’t forget arcanium horseshoes!
(light imbued horseshoes will be the meta trust)
So what would damage-based horseshoes do? Size horseshoes? Make your horse bigger?
Morden instead of the death curse just gets a ar-15
The so called “all-powerful” mage when I give his body several doses of lead with my lever-action rifle
Durza used every heat magic instead of every magic, and wiped out all water.
horse based combat abilities while riding change with different shoes.
or other weird perks, like how shadow shoes let you sneak away undetected from hostiles like husks or wandering bandits
husks are atlantean counterparts btw
instead of fish mutations, imagine like, cacti and bulls and cougars and stuff.
Sandfall mountain?
Sandfall is kinda funny now that I think about it. It’s a desert oasis, but there’s like, ten square feet of desert.
idk maybe
