Will Turn 2 end tonight or tomorrow?


Probably tomorrow. Slower is better.
Is power only expended if you win the auction, or if you lose the auction do you also lose the power you bid?


The latter.

Is placing a bid an action or something that can be done freely?


To claim a Domain it requires 1 Action. If you wish to challenge someone with a secret counter bid, it does not require an action.
@Theodorable Question Theo can you explain how exactly the +1 Blessing, +1 Curse, etc. Stuff does? For example, if I wanted to give a race +1 blessing, would I then define the blessing I would like to give them? If so how would that apply to the corrupt and pure modifier. I'm guessing neutral would be that you do not give them anything positive or negative?


More of a unique access for easy characterization of a race.

+1 Blessing means they are healthier/more fit/live longer, for example. Blessed civilizations would probably prefer more amicable environments. But it's also about helping create divisions. The how is more fluff.

Continuation of Turn 2 (1,000 F.A - 2,000 F.A)


The Children of Alcadeas
It was not ALNAEUS whom breathed life onto the Natural Plane, but rather the Son, ALCADEAS. In the Great Peninsula, he stooped and from his hand sprang into life, and from them a modicum of lesser life in which for them to thrive--minor creatures that would roam the land to be killed, tamed, eaten. It is in this time that the historians would later suggest was the Genesis of Man, though the exact dates are uncertain. These humanoids were very apparently made in the image of the First Father. They existed mostly as nomadic--stumbling about and subsisting where they could in the grasslands and the thickets of highlands that populated the peninsula.




The Creation of Man, First Age

It was no long before the short lived Humans encountered Death. Some starved. Others wandered too far and lost their way back and strayed until HUM would come to meet them. The first task as Handler of Souls, HUM would need to accept those humans coming to enter Sanctuary or reject them, a frivolous task to be sure.

War
"Do you see them? They know not what will be made Masters of them."

The words of the First Father met only the ears of AMELIA, perched on a knee in a way only a God could. They looked upon the Second Creation--Men. Called so, but among them walked women as well. They watched for years as humans eked out an existence barely above worms. They watched because when there were two mouths and only food--if that's what it was--left for one, they saw what it drove them to do. War.

AMELIA felt a different kind of existence when men warred. She felt a warmth across her skin and a sharpness in her spine. It felt good. But it needed a Master. To be controlled. And when the man had finally driven the sharp stone through the chest of the other, the warmth had spiked in AMELIA's chest then all of a sudden gone cold. And by then, ALNAEUS had gone.

20 power plus the 10 power for Turn 2 or just 20 power?

And yes, time for some topographical and climactic diversity.


Just 20.


Accepted. 20 Power. Please send me your Actions.

At least we will get some NON-Forest/Grasslands/Jungles now.
So technically we all have to negotiate with Hum to know how the afterlife of our worshippers will be? I am not so sure about creating a race anymore :v


You can negotiate with him but you don’t really have any leverage. Any mortal member of a RACE or CREATURE that dies goes to Sanctuary.
Can I turn Sanctuary into a Heaven basically without the use of Power?


Sanctuary is Hum’s Realm. It can be what you want. It’s strange that the “God of Death” wants to rule Heaven though.

The Realm of the Dead is not, nor will ever be preferable to the Realm of the Living. That’s why you receive Power when people go there, and lose it when they leave. The goal is to make people come and stay, even though anyone who goes there would prefer to be Resurrected.

In Christian theology, Heaven is preferable to life on Earth, but that is not the case here. You can, however, design SanctuRy to your own specifications so long as it does not break the mechanics attached to it.
Someone just used Create a Race. I’m stoked.
