[center][b][h3]Gods, Men and Everything in Between Turn 3 (2/3)[/h3][/b][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/IC8oRa3.png[/img] [i]The Natural Plane, circa 1,750 F.A.[/i][/center] [hr][hr] [b][color=darkgreen]DUHYXBIN[/color] Becomes Master of Time & Wisdom[/b] [indent]The movements of [b][color=blue]Alnaeus[/color][/b] were like the very wind of the world. Felt, but unpredictable. [b][color=darkgreen]DUHYXBIN[/color][/b] was pulled and stretched and then all at once somewhere in the world. Beside him, the [i]First Father[/i], and far off on the horizon--a [i]Gnome[/i], the very child of one of [b][color=blue]Alnaeus[/color][/b]' own children. They watched. The world was still, and yet the world of the Gnome and the world of all the Gods was all so very different. "[i][color=lightblue]You can feel it now, can't you? You can even see it.[/color][/i]" The Gnome, in the time that the two Gods had appeared overhead to observe had been born, hunted, gathered, met a mate, had children, began farming and grown old. Now, he was nestled in a stand-to, a small half hut of worn leather and thistle branches. His chest heaved and each labored breath threatened to be his list. "[i][color=lightblue]Things move forward. All spiraling outward, like jagged vines climbing a tree. They grow strong. Until they grow weak. It is.. time. But you felt that, didn't you? You just didn't know what to call it![/color][/i]" The [i]First Father[/i] said, chuckling. "[i][color=lightblue]You could turn it back, if you wanted. It would not be the way of things.[/color][/i]" And then the Gnome took it's last breath, and the [i]First Father[/i] was gone.[/indent] [hr][hr] [b][color=orange]IRA[/color] Becomes Mistress of Flame[/b] [indent]The [i]Weeping God[/i] [b][color=orange]IRA[/color][/b] was busy, but not too busy for the [i]First Father[/i], who came to visit north of the Alcadean Peninsula, where the [i]Weeping God[/i] was busy sculpting the land--dragging into the formless world rugged and desolate biomes. "[i][color=lightblue]The blood runs hot within you, child, that I know, for I was the one who ordained it.[/color][/i]" The [i]First Father[/i] watched for another century as [b][color=orange]IRA[/color][/b] sculpted the world. "[i][color=lightblue]With it, you can create, but you can also destroy[/color][/i]." As she worked, whether by the command of the [i]First Father[/i] or by nature itself, a raging fire in the shrublands started--cleansing the world in fire and allowing new plants to grow, new animals to move in. [hider=Domain of Fire] The entity from which many consider to be the elixir of passion, ambition and even life, Fire is an entity all it's own. Dominion over fire enables a god to enact retribution, purification and destruction. - [b]MINOR[/b] - [i]Raging Fire[/i]: Select an AREA and begin a [i]Raging Fire[/i]. Will randomly EXPAND into 1 ADJACENT AREA. Reduces population there by 20% (+10% for FORESTS). - [b]MAJOR[/b] -[i]Purification[/i]: Choose 1 AREA or 1 CREATURE, may remove POISON, DECAY, ENTROPY (Up to 15 Power) or CURSE. Any RACE affected will receive DOUBLE POPULATION MODIFIER[/hider][/indent] [hr][hr] [b][color=forestgreen]MORAVKIN[/color] Becomes One With Nature[/b] [indent]Since his beginning, [b][color=forestgreen]MORAVKIN[/color][/b] had not left his Earthly abode. It troubled not the [i]First Father[/i], who appeared and walked in the machination of the Forest God himself. It was not long before [b][color=forestgreen]MORAVKIN[/color][/b] came upon him--for his scent and aura was infinitely different then the [b][color=darkred]Arachnids[/color][/b] who now called the forest home. While the physical manifestation of the Forest God remained perched to the trees above, [b][color=blue]ALNAEUS[/color][/b] summoned him to the forest floor. "[i][color=lightblue]It's different, isn't it? They shape and twist and breathe life into the world, but know it exudes a life all it's own, don't you? Mmm, yes. You feel her breath on you.[/color][/i]" The [i]First Father[/i] bent, tucked some Earth between his fingers and lifted the dirt and grass and leaves free. His fingers plied the material, letting it fall free like sand. "[i][color=lightblue]They'll take it from you. They'll come and build monuments to one another. They will plow the fields and shred the forests. They will seek to claim Her as their own[/color][/i]." [hider=Domain of Earth] - The [b]Domain of Earth[/b] is concerned with the nature, natural life--unhinged and unrestricted. - Every time a [b]CITY[/b] is constructed, the [b]Owner of the Domain of Earth[/b] automatically loses [b]X Power[/b]. (X begins at 2, and increases by 1 with every new CITY). - Every time another DEITY uses [b]SHAPE LAND/SHAPE CLIMATE[/b], the [b]Owner of the Domain of Earth[/b] automatically gains [b]1 Power[/b].[/hider][/indent] [hr][hr] [b][color=crimson]AMELIA[/color] Takes to the Sky[/b] [indent]The tallest peak, an unknown and unnamed peak in the Natural Plane, overlooked grasslands on one side and a thick forest on the other. This high, only the whistling wind kept one company. [b][color=crimson]AMELIA[/color][/b] blinked and she was there, the booming voice of the [i]First Father[/i] carrying on the wind. "[i][color=lightblue]Things are changing already. But the Others, they know not from where the change comes. It comes on strong winds. Sometimes quickly, and sometimes slowly. Your lungs will be filled with the very Wind of World--and from it the creatures of the world will pray to you for it. Forgot not the power of the changing winds.[/color][/i]"[/indent] [hr][hr] [b][color=pink]ILLIAS[/color] Becomes Lady of the Sea[/b] [indent]Somewhere, deep in the Far Sea, a school of fish plodded along. A larger fish scooped a smaller fish down it's gullet. [b][color=pink]ILLIAS[/color][/b] was there--yanked from Edenia all at once. "[i][color=lightblue]Life exists in all different forms, and from the Sea is no different. You must dictate the Currents of Life, as a great many will depend upon you for it, Dear [b][color=pink]ILLIAS[/color][/b].[/color][/i]"[/indent] [hider=Upcoming Posts] - [b]Post 3[/b]: Turn 3 Random Event[/hider]
