No explicit mention has been made of obsidian arrowheads, but I assume they're to be found implied somewhere. What's a lined blade?
<Snipped quote by LokiLeo789>
No one's made obsidian things yet, since most of the world lacks volcanoes. But yes, the Ironheart ranges are volcanic, so you should find some obsidian there.
EDIT: At least, no one has explicitly made obsidian yet.
@LokiLeo789
After thinking about it for a while and reading your post with Termite I have come up with my mind on the topic:
Ilunabar had always dealt with the things called "sin" on quite a favorable way. The Phantasmagoria's main group of "geniuses" for example, had a lot to do with Sins. Grinder was a lazy gluton, Susa had the wanderlust, the Vascogne are the greedy trade people. Etc.
And let's not get started on Pride. And that is where the differences of view start, to quote the latest post. "But was any Pride truly good? It was called a Sin for a reason, he knew that oh so well"
In Illy's view yeah, Pride is quite good, and necessary, and like other feelings, shouldn't be eaten away and turning the person into puppets. She made sure Lifprasil wouldn't do that kind of stuff and was clearly bothered by his psych powers, it makes sense her reaction would be the same here.
I think this alone is a point of rivalry, and I think this makes sense In Character without the influence of my views on Xerxes OOC. (And sincerely, after reading Jvan's collab, it feels far more OK with the current tech than the "multiple harbors" thing of the other post)
So, unless you are clearly against it, some shenanigans might start happening on the borders of Amartía's influence.

There is no level you must reach. It is purely based on how well the GMs, and fellow players to some extent, reckon you've RPed, and whether you've earned it. Demands of any ongoing storyline also come into play - Ialu is a very good example of this.

No, a demigod does not become a god by simply levelling up. Sin will.
<Snipped quote by LokiLeo789>
It's always better to keep your soul!
Also, it means that Sin will be able to ascend to godhood easier. He won't need any other god's help, for one
@LokiLeo789 Think the ripping up dragons with bare hands happened slightly after the setting up of the Strong Tribe xD
And I'll add Cultists once I've read the post in question, if they are indeed worshippers
<Snipped quote by LokiLeo789>
Amartía is currently something between a demigod and a hero, yes. So, at the moment, he is at the power level of early Ialu when he started the Strong Tribe
I haven't yet read the Xerxes post/s, but generally:
1) A divine being's presence can help create things which may be slightly more advanced than normal for the civilisational stage, i.e. Lifprasil and his city, army, advanced armours, weaponry etc.
2) A divine being's presence can't cause the above to occur overnight. Even quick growing empires (i.e. Alexander's empire) took a good decade to establish militarily, and we're not even at that stage yet.

We've barely invented agriculture. People live in huts and tents (or caves, if you're a Rovaick). Boats are rafts or hollowed out tree trunks. Our civilisation god has been stuck dealing with other business and is only just catching up, our knowledge goddess is MIA, and our physics god is in the furthest reaches of the Universe. The High Lifprasillians probably have units of measurement, otherwise building the Capital would have been impossible, but besides that yes, everything built thus far by mortals has been just a bunch of slapdash. Some of it is very good slapdash, though.
BBeast presents my concerns rather well. It's more that I didn't think we had yet developed the necessary prerequisites for money, rather than me being opposed to it being developed
And I haven't read the most recent posts, so don't know if anyone has reached the Atlantis point yet xD
@LokiLeo789 I would suggest for all our sakes that you give easier-to-distinguish names to the different deductions. Apart from that, it seems alright.
If you wanted to go through historical progression rather than burning free points for currency, you might start out with clay tablets that are a small contracts promising service, like IOUs. That's how currency started out in RL history if I remember correctly. Of course, no one has explicitly declared discovering and using writing yet.
As for Toun's temple, it would probably be like a monastery of self-improvement. Lots of white clay. Plenty of scribes. His insignia around the place. Also, a lot of anti-chaos rhetoric and proselytising, especially aimed to anyone who wants to be left alone by white giants.
We already at the currency stage?
