Well the god of destruction is now existent WELL FUCK
EDIT: ACTUALLY How da fuck he managed to do that in half a turn? @Theodorable
XANAROS used an amount of points higher than any other Deity possessed. No other Deity could have challenged him. In fact, he used 10 times more points than AMELIA did.
Some who were posting IC during the Summit at Edenia are now confused as to why no one challenged HUM for either LIFE or DEATH. It appears to be an interesting case of: "Well I thought someone else would do it."
If Hum were to leave the Realm of the Dead, do some stuff on the Natural World, then return by the end of the turn, that does not count as remaining in the Realm of the Dead, does it?
In the East, the God ANTAY ripped the world asunder and from then there were not one but two great lands--settled by the Rifted Sea. From the Second Great Continent, ANTAY continued to mold the world from which thickets of hot jungle sprouted on the banks of the Sea, and behind it arose vast mountains. In the South, the hot minded IRA spiked a trio of mountains with volcanoes, the largest of which could be seen miles away and as years passed they exploded, reforming the land and then grew quiet.

The God of Nothing
From whence upon a throne, XANAROS felt a pull somewhere inside him, and then he was gone.
Where XANAROS felt the sensation of nothing, now he was in the presence of everything--the gaze of ALNAEUS upon him. "So full of life everyone else is, that nothing was given to you. Nothing. Such a burden to bear, my poor, poor Xanaros. I..," the First Father said, pausing. "I have failed you." He said, with the definiteness of a God.
The Power of Destruction had been tinkered with by AMELIA. Her wispy, childlike fingers tugged and grabbed at it as if holding onto a parent in a crowded room--but XANAROS tendrils enshrouded it as prey. So definitive a grasp, the other God's felt not the moment XANAROS seize the power but rather the moment the primordial ability had left them entirely. At first it was, and then all at once the ability to destroy simply wasn't. The presence was almost akin to the First Father saying goodbye, not merely standing in the presence of an essence of the world being brought to heel.
The God of Nothing, The God of Destruction - The Owner of the Domain of Destruction receives 15 Power any time a CITY is completely ANNIHILATED. - The Owner of the Domain of Destruction receives 25 Power any time a RACE goes EXTINCT. - The Owner of the Domain of Destruction receives 30 Worshippers any time an Entropy Action is COMPLETED.
- ANTAY moves to embody the Domain of Smithing | Any Deity can challenge this during Turn 2. - DUHYXBIN moves to embody the Domain of Time | Any Deity can challenge this during Turn 2. - IRA moves to embody the Domain of Fire | Any deity can challenge this during Turn 2.
1. Gods gains Worshippers of their Domain by acting in accordance with their powers. That means Hum will gain Death worshippers as he accepts the dead into his realm and would lose them if he resurrects people.
2. He would gain Life Worshippers as he resurrects people.
It almost guarantees a situation where Hum can possibly have access to one of his Major powers, but never both—given his two domains are at odds with one another.
Honestly if it was pretty much any god other than Hum this could be an interesting dynamic, but so far Hum has not been presented as an interesting god to hold this power. Big oofs all around
It will be interesting to see how Hum handles his new “responsibilities.”
Now HUM has control over both Life and Death he deals in a currency of basically not only being able to control who enters his Realm (which he has not named), but also who exits it back to the Natural Plane.
