What are the Order and Creation bar added to our races?
If you have an Order in that race, you receive a bonus to Worshipers.
If your Deity Created that race, you receive a significantly larger bonus.

Turn 6 (2/3)
Turn 6 (2/3)
The Known World, circa 3,000 F.A.
The Life and Habits of Gnomes
The Gnomes continued to carve out a minor existence, getting by sometimes only by the skin of their teeth. Insistent on mucking around in filth, the Gnomish population exploded when one of their members was learned about the ability to plant a seed in the ground and from it could arise an edible stalk of something. The Gnomes were privy to factionalism and from it a broad array of belief propped up. From their history of merely fighting to survive came a worship of the Goddess of War, from the sinister decadence of a hot temper many turned to IRA and still others--those who had seen the God of Life & Death gave sacrifice to HUM late at night.
Eight Legged Life in the Forest
The Arachnids of the forest continued to weave intricate webs high in the forests, all the while expanding, seeking, learning. Their prominent master was their creator HUM, who bestowed upon them both Life and Death, but also among their ilk was worship of SOLUMNA, by a solitary sect of Arachnids who preferred to web themselves away into the tallest tree, often moving just enough to eat and often wallowing them first Life is forced upon them only to have it stolen back by Death.
The Aureus
The Aureus grew like a virus. Within 300 years, they outnumbered almost every race on the planet. It was a combination of their limited ability to fly, their aggressive disposition and the strange realization that for a lengthy piece of time, the Aureus' did not grow beyond their standard hunter-gatherer ways, meaning they did not stop and build a civilization but simply reproduced and expanded outward over and over. Within three centuries the Aureus had expanded from two thousand to one hundred and forty-thousand across nearly the entire island.
Explanation of the world itself was crafted out of their own Creator, and from it the Aureus came to appreciate both knowledge and the passages of time. But within it a small sect disregarded this in earnest of a more biological calling: the Aureus' natural ability to breathe flame. From that, came worship of IRA.

Mataki Life in the Naschya
Life in Naschya was unforgiving--short, brutal--and cold. The Mataki there lived lives of solitude with barely two thousand total encompassing the totality of Naschya. There was little infighting, as every ounce of energy was spent getting to the next moment, the next meal, the next breath. From there, worship of SOLUMNA, fostering in the deities disdain for war--which was wasteful of already scarce resources, preference against chaos, ruckus and even creation: "From Nothing," a Mataki saying went, "comes Nothing," indicating that since Naschya was born of Nothing, that Nothing (in a good sense, Nothing representing quiet, scarcity, peace and solitude) would always prevail.

In the Mataki villages, small ice obelisks to SOLUMNA were erected and there in the great wilderness, the deity felt their power grow--though only in the slimmest of margins. While dedicated, the Mataki were few. Known to the Matak as the The Quiet One, SOLUMNA was considered to be present in moments of silence and thus those religious ceremonies (especially following the passing of an Mataki Elder) were held in complete and utter silence.
Still, the foreboding cold of Naschya gave way to the imminent requirement of innovation, entrepreneurship and quick thinking. Without the blessing of innovation from a more inclined deity, the Mataki were forced to grow on their own. Rudimentary fishing and hunting techniques advanced over the millennium and from it, the Hau-Hurna sect of the Mataki--or hunter-gatherer caste, came to believe it was the God of the Forge, ANTAY who had bestowed the act of innovation upon them. It is because of this that the Mataki are considered the second Polytheistic Civilization, as they--like humans--believed and openly worshiped in more than one deity of the world.

Wasn't there supposed to be a bonus or something for those who "did the most" in the first age or will we being seeing that later?
Yes.
When it says that Blessed Races are cheaper to act upon, which Actions exactly does that entail? Not Create Order, but what about Command Race, Create Champion, Intervene, etcetera?
So this is my fault: When a Race is Blessed by your own Deity, it becomes cheaper for you to act upon.
When a Race is Blessed by another Deity, the price to act upon them increases.
Same here.
Also, he still hasn't added 'Blessed' to my Elves.
This is the case until I go in and edit anything, which the last time I edited any of the sheets was prior to you asking the question.
I agree.
Where are our 2/3 and 3/3 turn actions?
They haven't been written yet because I do not get on RPGuild on the weekends. Sorry.
I have a few questions on creating subraces;
1.Are there any benefits like receiving worshippers from doing it?
2. Do you choose a blessing, curse, pure, etc. for them or not?
@Theodorable
Yes. And yes to the second question.
Are we gaining the Power from our Worshipers this Turn?
Yes.
<Snipped quote by Theodorable>
Ehh. I think I'll just repurpose the post into my IC for Turn 6. Solumna rested for Turn 5.
Or, wait. No. I'm confused. Nevermind this post.
Anyway: I've now last track of how much power I have. Gonna go calculate that and then try and keep track from here on out. Just to be totally clear, the end of Turn 5 and arrival of Turn 6 did not give the gods any new power?
That is correct.
Can you tell me where the last open land is, Theo? I'm writing an IC and I'd like to polish off the map in addition to my two other orders.
I just extended some of Boop's land for the mesa/valley for him. I'll retroactively add your Actions as I'm doing Post 2 and Post 3 of Turn 6. Just have to go through all the Races.

Turn 6 (1/3)
Turn 6 (1/3)
The Known World, circa 3,000 F.A.
The Age has a Name
The First Father finally looked over a grateful universe. There were no more infinite horizons, no more places where even the eyes of the Gods could not see. Those humans in Solas would come to know this as the First Age or the Age of Alnaeus, though such names would not come for many millennia. Instead, the Gods and Deities sculpting the world would have all figuratively looked up and realized one saddening fact: ALNAEUS was no more. Though it was not spelled out, the truth was evident. Every sliver of Power the Deities themselves authored was not of their own making, but rather being willingly siphoned from the First Father himself, until there was no more. Until he was no more.
Like a warm blanket ripped away on a cold day, the absence of the Father Father suddenly meant the thin curtain of the Cosmos was yanked away and to the Gods it was as if their senses was turned up to 100. The heat of the sun became evident--the pain of death, the warmth of new life, the changing of the seasons, all at once. While before the Gods existed in another Plane--a Higher Plane--they suddenly felt that door closed to them, and instead felt adrift in the very world they had created.

The Human City-State of Solas
The Order of the Archangel may have been the first established religion in the Known World, though later historians dispute this fact. The existing hierarchy meant that Order had the infrastructure in place when the realization came upon them that they were not created solely of luck. Some allege that ALCADEAS appeared to them in a dream, others spoke of a Prophet, walking among them, who spoke the Truth of Alcadeas.

Similarly, the Cult of the Promised End remained a poignant reminder that humanity's sole father was not purely the Archangel. Instead, the confessed Black Brother of ALCADEAS and King of Nothing XANAROS felt the pulse of radical cult-like worship. These were fewer and more isolated, almost non-existent in Solas outside of shadowy nighttime arrangements hidden from the world.

The Elves of Edenia
In Edenia, the Elves had grown and matured, growing their fortuitous little huts of wood and stone along the river and lakes both in essence of seeking out nourishment and of the divine righteousness that was the worship of the Goddess of the Sea, ILLIAS. Unlike humanity--of which the Elves knew not existed--there was no discontent in the Elves. So bred and born were they that they knew only the love and worship of their mother of the sea. No Elf's heart knew another Deity, and the love that ILLIAS felt was magnified by the sole fact that her creation loved only her.
