The movements of Alnaeus were like the very wind of the world. Felt, but unpredictable. DUHYXBIN was pulled and stretched and then all at once somewhere in the world. Beside him, the First Father, and far off on the horizon--a Gnome, the very child of one of Alnaeus' 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.
"You can feel it now, can't you? You can even see it." 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. "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!" The First Father said, chuckling. "You could turn it back, if you wanted. It would not be the way of things." And then the Gnome took it's last breath, and the First Father was gone.
IRA Becomes Mistress of Flame
The Weeping GodIRA was busy, but not too busy for the First Father, who came to visit north of the Alcadean Peninsula, where the Weeping God was busy sculpting the land--dragging into the formless world rugged and desolate biomes. "The blood runs hot within you, child, that I know, for I was the one who ordained it." The First Father watched for another century as IRA sculpted the world. "With it, you can create, but you can also destroy." As she worked, whether by the command of the First Father 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.
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. - MINOR - Raging Fire: Select an AREA and begin a Raging Fire. Will randomly EXPAND into 1 ADJACENT AREA. Reduces population there by 20% (+10% for FORESTS). - MAJOR -Purification: 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
MORAVKIN Becomes One With Nature
Since his beginning, MORAVKIN had not left his Earthly abode. It troubled not the First Father, who appeared and walked in the machination of the Forest God himself. It was not long before MORAVKIN came upon him--for his scent and aura was infinitely different then the Arachnids who now called the forest home. While the physical manifestation of the Forest God remained perched to the trees above, ALNAEUS summoned him to the forest floor. "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." The First Father 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. "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."
- The Domain of Earth is concerned with the nature, natural life--unhinged and unrestricted. - Every time a CITY is constructed, the Owner of the Domain of Earth automatically loses X Power. (X begins at 2, and increases by 1 with every new CITY). - Every time another DEITY uses SHAPE LAND/SHAPE CLIMATE, the Owner of the Domain of Earth automatically gains 1 Power.
AMELIA Takes to the Sky
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. AMELIA blinked and she was there, the booming voice of the First Father carrying on the wind. "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."
ILLIAS Becomes Lady of the Sea
Somewhere, deep in the Far Sea, a school of fish plodded along. A larger fish scooped a smaller fish down it's gullet. ILLIAS was there--yanked from Edenia all at once. "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 ILLIAS."
His last IC post was titled 'Turn 3 (1/3)'. That makes me believe he will make one more IC post, and then the one *after* that will end Turn 3 and begin Turn 4.
Humans continued to propagate themselves. With reasonably long life spans, durability and opposable thumbs at their disposal, they seemed reluctant to die off--mostly doing so after 25-30 years. Due to the high suitability of their biome and lack of predators or opposition in the area, the nomadic humans continued to populate the Alcadean Peninsula, especially on the coastal areas where life was easier. Humans however remained mostly isolated, uninterested in much else than subsisting on the land and breeding.
Gnomes lived and died, mostly flopping around in the very mud they were created from. For hundreds of years the heavy rains cast upon them made life difficult. Gnomes hunted for bugs and rabbits, usually beating them to death with a rock or strangling them. Unto them however, life was improved when their Creator, the God YLLWYTHYR granted them the skill of Agriculture. The cultivation of fields upon which to grow crops allotted them a more sustainable food source, which allotted them to come together to tend the fields. Three tribes grew to prominence: Yogggnen, Sannaff and Meruun.
Given life by the God HUM, the Arachnids sprawled into form in the Grove of Moravkin, fostered by MORAVKIN himself. They spun massive, intricate webs--communicated with one another and began hunting the life that had prospered when MORAVKIN himself had created the forest. They spread quickly, given they had come to life in perhaps the most protected of biomes--sheltered from sun above and predator without.
