Dios mio....it is the return of Monkie

The bubble floats alone in the Void. It shimmers, as nascent potential coalesces into new powers. Though they have not yet taken shape or awoken from their slumber, they represent stability.

Outside, the Void quakes. Pressure thickens. The bubble ripples under the strain...

It does not break.

It is clear.

This reality will not vanish before it begins.

The future remains in flux. More powers may come. More may not.

The bubble waits, patiently.

Every god submitted so far is in. A list of the pantheon and introductions for each god will come once we start. The game has not yet started but it's looking to be in good shape. There are 2 days remaining for new gods.

I do worry about you eating off more than you can chew. Seems like a common thread in these multiplayer god games where they accept way, way, WAY too many players and end up ditching after struggling to keep up with it.

>Visage: An eclipsed sun.
>Goal: Know all of Creation and all of Void, and become known to them in turn. Connect that which Is to that which Is Not. Dissolve the greatest of barriers.
>Domains: Connection.
(In a previous god game I listed the domain as Correspondence, Connection, Separation, Absence. It's basically all the same thing when you consider that Connection covers all of this, however, so I've chosen to simplify.)

The bubble drifts a long voyage over long eons. Without space, without time, this shouldn't be possible.

The Void doesn't permit even relative movement to exist, but as the bubble solidifies, it imposes itself. Now that the bubble separates what is inside from what is outside, there's something to measure the Void by.

True nonexistence becomes lesser, merely unreal. The Void darkens. Its contrast shines brighter in comparison.

More powers have come. Some, perhaps, will survive to shape reality in their image. If this is the rarest of cosmoses, maybe even most.

The moment is coming closer.

The bubble is patient.

Every god submitted so far is also in. This pantheon is shaping up to be quite the interesting one. There is 1 day remaining for new gods.

>>6169882
That's a fair worry to have. I've written a PDF of rules to minimize ambiguity and we'll be doing turns on a weekly basis. Between these, AFK gods, and casualties, I think we'll be good.

The bubble trembles at its enormity. For a boundless instant, the Void recoils.

It is done.

The last of the powers has emerged. They are eighteen in total, nineteen if separating the one that is two.

By their divinity, they shall create a new cosmos!

The bubble is sealed...

Soon, its rulers shall awaken!

Every god submitted is in, and that is that. There are 0 days remaining for new gods. For now, applications are closed.

The game will begin tomorrow, on Sunday. The rule PDF is done at 10 pages. All that remains is to format it and finish the introductions of the gods. I'm looking forward to running.

The bubble shines.

At last, the Gods awaken!

The Gods find themselves filled with power and the instinctive urge to create. Around them are their fellow divinities… and nothing else. This bubble is vacant of all but potential. No matter their philosophy, every deity agrees on one thing. This status quo cannot continue.

The Gods are free to do as they wish.

Our game has finally started! Pic related is the rules PDF. I recommend reading or skimming it, because the mechanics are different from most past god games. Feel free to reformat your stat sheet however you feel like. I don’t want anyone to lose track of their assets. Let me know if you have any questions or price checks.

The Gilded Weaver awakes to existence, surrounded by numerous other beings like himself. It begins weaving its golden strands only to take notice of other...more unsavory deities.
>Move to The Emptiness
The Weaver executes a typical arachnid threat display towards the Dragon, before quickly skittering quite the distance from the Core.
>Make Armor: Miraging Web(Trickery),6 Ichor
The Weaver, not wishing to immediately get squashed before he can work, begins spinning and then wrapping himself in a special Web that tricks perception. One could strike the spider only to realise they actually hit a bunch of tangled transparent strings with a golden sheen on them.
>Make Bauble: Pot of Gold Coins(Gold,Persistence),4 Ichor
Feeling that he did not have the power necessary to create what he wished but that more power would come, the Weaver produced pure Gold from his abdomen,taking his time in making a very ornate pot in which he poured what remained of his ichor in the form of gold coins

The nameless knight is in need of allies.

>Make Servant: Ioun Stone 001a (Revolution), 3 Ichor
First is of the odious ioun stone, a simple revolving planetoid to protect the epitome of chivalry.

>Make Servant: Ruin Knight Alphard (Ruin), 3 Ichor
Second is of a miniscule recreation of the one and only, perhaps a copycat from such and such. Look how it hates!

>Make Servant: Storm of Knights (Ruin, Revolution), 3*110% = 3.3, rounded to 4 Ichor
Third is of the beautiful knightly charge that any equestrian may dream of, revolving on the only thing that matters in this universe. One wonders how none of the knight and horse tires, but it does, and it does until it ends and be replaced by another horse and rider.

There's not much to ruin without creations at the board sadly, and little scattered realms of awareness is so less than what the knight has witnessed in its many journeys.

"My partners in creation, what say you to the creation of vast realm capable of housing all of what we may create? It shall be beneficial to us all, and it shall be revelatory as to who wishes discord amongst our stellar concordat."

>The Nameless Knight proposes a creation of a Realm on the Coreward, bearing the domains Creativity, Beauty, Innovation, Luck, Chaos, Dust, Ruin, Revolution, Gold, Persistence, Trickery, Fear, Misfortune, Unity, Cognition, Volition, Artistry, Dedication, Health, Harvest, Family, Fertility, Monsters, Law, Knowledge, Frost, Vengeful Murder, Intrigue, Battle, Gluttony, Apes, Savagery, Games/Gambling, Rivalry, Change, Wealth, Greed, Luxury, Death, Space, Souls, Hope, Secrecy, Knowledge, Connections, Plagues, Mutations, Dragon for a total of 390% stacking Ichor cost.
>The Nameless Knight proposes that all Gods spend 4 Ichor next turn for the creation, for that is enough to carve a whole ichor for the God in question to the realm.
>The Nameless Knight does not believe that any domains involved in the realm conflicts whatsoever and will accuse the discording God that says it so to be working against the collective will of the Bubble.

>The Nameless Knight would ask each God that agrees to such a realm to voice their concordance and how much they are willing to spend at the second turn. Perhaps something like this?
>Yes to Megarealm, 4 Ichor.

Yet, but what of the mortals that shall live, and what if they do not hear their saviour's voice?

For untold enormities of time, the deities formed, or perhaps always were, but regardless: the stirrings of 'thought' arose within them. The immortals regarded one another, and concepts of threat and maneuver took shape. With the birth of intrigue and conflict, Yieldback's thoughts became sharper. He couldn't say when he first became aware of himself, or if such a fragmentary dreamstate could even be called 'awareness,' but this is when he first began to act.

Something spun within him, and he flexed reality through his being, forming a Battle Axe of Vengeance. Thirstslaker, he called it, and found that it was good.

>Create Weapon: Thirstslaker 1d8+1
>Domains: Battle, Vengeful Murder, Woodcraft
>-9Ichor | -1 Action

Yieldback regarded the Weaver, and found that it was good. Implaccable, and rich with 'thoughts.' It had 'fear' for the ruinous one.

Yieldback regarded the Dragon, and found that it was... hateful ...but that there was opportunity within such omnicidal hate.

The spinning within him made his desire to communicate produce a messenger for the Gods, "Guthsip." Guthsip would carry messages between the Gods for ichor, and enable them to intrigue. Yieldback found that this, too, was good.

>Create Servant: Guthsip C:1|I:1
>Domains: Intrigue, Diplomacy, Relationships
>-1 Ichor | -1 Action

>>6170030
Guthsip flew to Strad-Aniya Rak, not too close, and whispered.

The Great Ape awakens and after scratching his hairy asshole and sniffing it to make sure that it's sufficiently smelly starts loudly drumming his belly and screeching for food.

After no food is brought the Great Ape starts baring his teeth and growling at nothing in particular and then reaches one of his long muscled arms into his throat.

Out he pulls an ugly flat-faced female ape with great mounds of flesh and many grotesque hairy arms that are meant to serve him food.

The comfort of the womb was ripped away, replaced with a cacophony of sensations and energies. Shock was not the emotion felt, but discomfort, the embrace of the dark was now a flourish of souls and awareness. Nihildir regarded itself and the others, most of them stood out against the pristine darkness more than itself, and even its name was present in its mind. It wondered if we were truly born, rather than sculpted and created, or split off from something greater. Thought could not come easily to Nihildir among the presence of the other Gods, already they busied the environment like an endless tide.

>Move to The Emptiness
Thus Nihildir slipped away towards the emptiness, noticing the faint energies of The Gilded Weaver, but not paying it much thought before moving on. It would have made sense to stop now, the chaos was far away, but something else spurred Nihildir to continue, the wall of the bubble. It only occured to it now, but the firmament surrounding it seemed like a jail, a barrier keeping it from the blissful sleep it knew before.

>Move to The Outer Shell
As Nihildir closed in, the immense scale of the bubble became overwhelming, white tinged currents cascaded endlessly from the heavens, straining and rippling against some unseen force. Soon Nihildir stopped, feeling as though reality was collapsing in on itself, it became obvious that this was a force beyond Gods. Suddenly the desire to learn about this construct was gnawing, some truth was tied to the bubble, and Nihildir would find it.

>Create Realm (Space, Souls) 10 Ichor
Nihildir's will was made, and the act needed to fulfill it came instinctually. The twisting darkness that was Nihildir contracted and expanded in a sickening display, form contorting and bulging as if ready to rip apart entirely. From within the maw of the storm came a miasma of cosmic gasses, dark clouds and translucent sparkling fogs, all flooded the environment. The debris spread along the border of the bubble, stretching to cover as much space as possible. Then a great tearing sound came from within the eye of the storm, obsidian-like shards that glowed a verdant hue ejected from the stark darkness, seemingly floating as they raced to the edges of the nebula. These were pieces of Nihildir's own soul, used to give order to its realm, but also as eyes and ears. Nihildir hoped to use these soul shards to study the bubble facing the border of its realm.

Serendipity awakes, her feet already under her, paints, brushes and a dozen glass marbles spilling behind her. She openly gawks at the gods around her, wandering and weaving, leaving a trail of smudges and colorful splatters everywhere she does, until her footsteps finally taking her clear of the throng and into the Emptiness.

>Move to the Emptiness

Quite a lot of Emptiness actually. Other than a shiny spider. Serendipity waves at the spider with entirely too much energy, and spends several minutes trying to pet it, getting fooled by the mirage armor of the spider, and eventually getting bored. Actually too much emptiness. Way too much. This just won’t do, there’s nothing to look at! An array of brushes animates around the goddess, dripping with stellar dust and cosmic fire, and she darts about the Emptiness, hurling paint with wild abandon, leaving trails of vapor and dust and heat, filling the Emptiness with a vast stellar nebula.

> Spend 8 Ichor to create the Rainbow Nebula, a vast cloud of brilliantly hued cosmic gas and heat, filled with nascent stars. It bears the domains of Creativity, Beauty, Innovation, Luck, Chaos, having an effective value of 5.

Better! A few swirling eddies of stardust, a few early bloomer stars glittering in the dark, strands of luck to keep things pretty, strands of chaos to keep it from being too orderly. Oh, but someone should probably keep an eye on it, shouldn’t they? She wasn’t very good at remembering details like shooing new stars out of the stellar nursery or kinding the cosmic forges, better make someone else handle that.

Strad awakens from Its dreamless slumber, like a corpse being infused with like anew, the gigantic dragon lurches upward from Its spot of rest. Taking crooked, uneven steps, like a newly born animal's first, still groggy from the nap enteral. However soon enough, Strad-Aniya Rak finally gains awareness of Itself, the other gods and the world around It...and promptly violently vomits a waterfall of hot putrid green bile from Its maw.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7LfvboyNFA

This purge of Its inward containment was not caused by some biological kickback from Its sudden sentience, nor from the sight of Its fellow gods different forms. But rather from the knowledge of what's to come. The knowledge that, no matter what it does, even with its powers as a god, it cannot stop the pathetically disgusting beings known as MORTALS to exist in this world.

But if It must be forced to reside in the same plane as these horrid creatures, It might as well make their lives living hells as well.

From the chunk-filled pool of Strad-Aniya Rak's spew, still steaming and bubbling from just leaving its residence, the chunks floating in it begin to rumble, forming into more distinct three piles molding into a new form with every passing second. Before soon enough, these three piles raise what look to be heads to the sky, and unleash a horrid cry that hurts even the other gods ears. Strad begins to lick them, cleaning the putrid afterbirth from their bodies

>>Create three "Mortals": Dragons, (Plagues, Mutations, Dragons) -10 Ichor

Strad creates four dragons, beings akin to their parents shape, but each very different. A dragon of earth, a large fatty wingless beast like its parent, who shall pew materials from its maw that'll pollute whatever it touches for years to come. A dragon of air, a slim winged creatures, that very breath shall be a toxic cloud. And a dragon of water, and amphibious webbed fin being, who shall vomit up a poison most foul. These beings are only "mortal" in classification, being ageless beings It has no direct control over (More akin to a pseudo-servant if anything) . As of now they're pathetic, hardly even a quarter their parent's size. But for every Eon that passes, they shall mature, grow stronger, mutate into newer, might forms. Soon enough they shall leave the embrace of their creator, and venture out from their den, each in search for a realm to call their own. Where they shall bring about plagues most horrid to the mortal residents of it.

>>6170750
Srad looks upon the small creature, seeing its obvious display of a threat against It...And goes back to cleaning off Its young. Ones bark is only as worse as their bite, and since It has no wounds by teeth, It shall not fear it.

Strad-Aniya Rak now looks upon the tiny messenger, not even bothering to pause doing Its chore this time. "It would do the same towards a twig stepped upon in two, so I will not begin machinations over such a petty act." Its voice is a deep, bellowing rumble with such force behind it that it sent the messenger back, "And even if the bug does follow bark with bite, then let it gnaw. As long as it does not bring ruin upon my work, I do not care." It bites off a particularly dense skin of afterbirth off of one of the kin.

"As for lack of creation to spread my works to, simply feel the air around oneself." It lifts one of Its might claws up towards the sky, "Can you not feel the ripples in space of what was once nothing becoming something? The cries of newlyborns fathered by the gods themselves echoing throughout the cosmos? The very fact that YOU are here speaking to me, is more then evidence that there will be more then enough work I'll have to do to ensure my Ruin is spread to all. And the power that comes with it? Just more fuel for the fires I'll use to make more of my work, nothing more." It slams Its hand to the ground towards the messenger, not out of anger, but just the effect of letting such a massive limb fall to the earth. "Now away with ye', I have much work need to be done and no need for disturbances." As the messenger leaves, Strad-Aniya thinks for their master for a moment. Mayhaps this great work that falls upon It, isn't It alone to bare...

>>6170770
>Strad-Aniya Rak supports this next turn
While Strad knows the creation of such a realm will only bring forth a infestation of mortals within it, It also knows that trying to stop them from being created all together, would be like a mortal trying to stop the rain from falling out of the sky. So It instead hopes to seed this field of weeds while it is being planted, to put Its Ruin deep within the world before it is even made.

after rereading the rules I'm pretty sure I should be level one next turn

Nameless opens his eyes to a strange new world, one filled with potential.
He decides to... wait foremost. He watches as the others scramble and create.
While most seem as worthy friends or foes, two grab his attention:
The Weaver and The Age. He is disturbed that he has to belong to the same pantheon as these dumb and useless things.
He wonders why that bothers him, then the idea of fair play is created in his mind. How could they ever take part in any Game? They could never understand.
Something will have to be done to cleanse the ranks of the Gods, but there's something more important at the moment: spreading his wings for the first time.

>Action #1: "The Board", realm of size 1, in Coreward, aligned with game rules
Nameless circles in the nothingness and tries himself in creation. He makes a small realm, so small a mortal could comprehend it.
It is a continent of orange rocks and sand. A desert surrounded by water.
It doesn't have to be anything more, since it will serve as a permanent home to no one. It is merely a playground for future trials and conflicts to come.
Due to it's separation from the living and mighty, its trivial for a god to reshape it. Intricate ghost towns, caverns and monuments are raised and destroyed as easily as breathing. Laws of nature mean little to nothing. Mortals of any alignment would have at an equal footing here.

>Action #2: Owl servant, i8, aligned with the domain of tactics
After he had his fun, he decides to move on to something else. He would love to toy with the creation of others, but he is too early. In an effort to entertain himself, he creates a servant. The Owl that arises is similar in spirit to a part of his soul. While it takes little interest in gambling, its glad to play chess on The Board while the Nameless awaits.

>Action #3: Pig servant, i1, aligned with luck
He is almost contempt for the Eon, but senses that there's more to be squeezed from his power. He creates a pig servant for nothing, but to try his luck in creation: the ultimate gamble.
Seeing that he has no further use for it, he offers it as a gift of good will to Rak, so he may mutilate it to his liking. >>6171039

I stand with Noerne here. Since servants are bad at creation and feeding back, there's no exploit in Ichor. The iffy part is combat however. As of now, someone could use their first turn to spawn servants in a chain and attack with 6d6 to spawn-nuke someone. If a "servants start with no Ichor" rule is added, the situation is still the same, it would take only slightly longer to build an unstoppable servant army.

>Action 1: spend 10 ichor to create monster domain ability - Mother of all Monsters

The fallen sisters, cursed with the destiny of spending the rest of eternity as a monstrous being. has choosen to embrace all the ugly, monstrous beings in existence as it's loving matriarch. the sisters will breed with anyone and anything to create monsters.in it's first attempt of creating monster the pair of sisters breed with each other, resulting in the ability to spawn monstrous beings out of thin air.

(tl;dr ability to spawn monsters every turn)

>>6171195
(Tbh I think servants should be limited as well, but after talking with QM, he doesn't want to prevent people from making their own servant armies full of shitty servants over several turns. Personally I'm much more worried about the prospect of servants making servants, it's kind of fucking gay for the meta to be spamming armies of cheap ass pokemons to mug people. Regardless, we'll probably know more tomorrow.)
>>6171257
(It's more that you're putting them on the same level as your actual domains, which could be slightly confusing when it comes to alignment purpose. Of course creations can have things not entirely related to your domain like a wooden handle but you can't really align it to woodcraft if you don't have woodcraft lol. Number of domains also affects the price of creations)
>>6170887
(Also yes we can kill and consume each other like in many of the previous games, those weapons and armor rules aren't for show. Regardless, when you assign domains to a creation, it's more to say it's aligned to that domain for mechanics purposes than to describe whether the axe has a wood handle.)

>>6171159
(Yeah, that about sums up my thoughts too.)

>>6170738
Chi-Ken would laugh a hearty laugh. Brother's Sisters your creations are magnificent. It's dazzling what everyone has created so far. I hope we can all be friends and work for wealth and prosperity for all.

>>6171276
Chi-Ken would look at the two sisters as they wrestle with much interest. He would say "Attempting to create monsters through flesh rather then ichor is an interesting concept. I applaud you two on coming up with it, it could lead to much wealth."

>>6170770
An interesting proposal I can promise 2 ren next turn if conditions are right
>Yes to Mega realm, 2 ichor

>>6170953
Chi-Ken would applaud the first god to contribute to the mega realm and explain his desire to invest into it as well. He would then move into the mega realm
>Move into the newly formed realm.

>>6170735
Chi-Ken stroking his beard would ponder what the universe desires and needs. What services he could provide that would led to profit and the benefit of all. After doing this for Milena he came up with it. Enforcing trade. He could help guarantee people can peacefully trade.

Chi Ken wants an estimate for the following law:

Golden Chains: Wealth and it's pursuit are of the noblest things it chains all men together in glorious adventure and competition. The universe recognizing this will chain men to their words making them as good as gold.

Effect: Two or more gods may come up with an agreement that will transfer an amount of ichor, minions, artifacts, realms, or baubles to one or more parties. This law will guarantee that up to 10 ichor worth of any agreement is divinely enforced causing it to transfer automatically without regards to consent. Any time ichor is transferred this way Chi-Ken will receive 1 ichor out of the ichor that is being transferred to a receiving party. Gods making a deal that isn't trading ichor must first give 1 ichor to Chi-Ken for every receiving party to have his deal be enforced. If Chi-Ken were to die this law would be destroyed.

>>6170953 zerm
>>6171115 crow
>>6171041 {i}
>>6170889 white
Chi- Ken would announce "Zerimael the Voidstar, The Nameless Crow, THE WHITE, and [ I ]. I have identified you as gods all possible of helping me achieve my dream of trade through the universe due to the potential of one of your domains. I offer to spend my ichor in making a law to do so and all I ask in return is that you work with me to do it." (Mechanically I need you to spend 1 ichor, but I'll give you 1 ichor to spend)

>>6171398
THE ENTITY REFERRED TO AS THE WHITE WILL DEFINE THE ENTITY ATTEMPTING TO ENTER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE WHITE AS 'CHI-KEN'. CHI-KEN IS DEFINED AS A GOD OF LUXURY.
THE ENTITY REFERRED TO AS THE WHITE IS UNABLE TO SUPPLY THE ICHOR ITSELF BUT IF SUCH A TRANSFER OF ICHOR TO BE IMMEDIATELY BE GIVEN BACK IS POSSIBLE, AS PER YOUR DESIRES.
THE ENTITY REFERRED TO AS THE WHITE DOES NOT SEE AN IMMEDIATE ISSUE WITH THIS PROPOSAL, UNLIKE THE PROPOSAL OF A REALM FOR EVERY SINGLE GOD.
THE ENTITY REFERRED TO AS THE WHITE, WHICH IS A GOD OF LAW, WILL EAGERLY ACCEPT ANY PROPOSAL THAT INVOLVES A LAW. LAWS ARE WHAT BIND MEN TOGETHER.
(Translation: WHITE LIKES LAWS WHITE WILLING TO HELP MAKE LAW)

>>6171398
As The White has spoken, so too shall I offer my own support should you still wish for it. You need only supply the Ichor, and I shall imbue the essence of my Domain into this new law. My connections are certain to provide an exceptional vessel for the transfer of power in the future, and I find the idea of an impartial arbiter to enforce dealings - when purposefully enlisted as such - to be a wise option to have in the future. Even if it should be rarely used, there is no harm in its mere presence.

The bubble observes the Gods and their works.

Unrelated to my responses, I noticed that I forgot to mention that due to the unrivaled complexity in creating them, Abilities can only be used on the turn after their creation. I've updated the Rules PDF to clarify certain mechanics, especially Level advancement, and add variable base damage to Servants. Don't hesitate to ask if you want any price checks or have any questions on mechanics!

>>6170770
To make Revolution among Mortals fundamental to reality, it will cost 20 Ichor. If such a deed were done, Revolutions would be constant and vicious among Mortal kind.

>>6170801
I notice a slight error in your creation. Guaranteeing +1 damage in a weapon costs 3 Ichor instead of the 1 Ichor used for increasing the dice size. At 9 Ichor, Thirstslaker can be forged to inflict your choice of 1d3+2, 1d6+1, or 1d9+0. If you like, the amount of Ichor spent on Thirstslaker can be adjusted.

Artifacts can be upgraded in the turns after their creation if you want to improve it to reach 1d8+1 or more later.

Apart from that, creations of Gods can only have an alignment corresponding to one of their domains. Because domains are abstract and broad, they can contain elements of any almost other possible domain. Vengeful Murder, for example, could justify functionally any material as they're all useable for Vengeful Murder. An alignment isn't the absolute entirety of a creation, it's which domain it leans the strongest towards. A race of mudmen could have aspects of Earth and Golems but their alignment would be to Mud.

>>6170857
Every domain contains aspects or traces of most other domains. While it would be difficult for a God of Water to integrate Ashes into a realm of theirs, Water includes Oceans which are associated with Beaches, which are associated with Sand, which is similar to Ashes and could easily warrant their inclusion, if it was justified. At the same time, a God of Water couldn't have a creation aligned to the domain of Ashes as he isn't a God of Ashes. There'll always be more Water in it on a metaphysical level, unless the God later gained Ashes as a domain.

>>6171429
>>6170879
On rereading, the rules were somewhat ambiguous when that wasn't my intention. Gods can create almost anything from any domain, but the alignment of the creation must be of one of the God's domains, because the God is the arbiter of those domains and their creations belong to them.

>>6171257
I agree, an axe of Woodcraft is funny, but it can't be directly aligned to Woodcraft because Brother Yieldback doesn't have authority over its domain.

>>6170889
The added +10% cost doesn't contribute to Level advancement or the creation's final value, it's a representation of the added complexity.
>Probably enough to get to Level 1 assuming I understood the "if something has multiple domains, its ichor value/cost counts as progress to all of them."
That would be correct. The domains of a creation count equally towards Level advancement. For example, a 4 Ichor creation of Trees and Life wouldn't be split into 2 Ichor for Trees and 2 for Life, the full total of 4 applies to them both. My wording on it was ambiguous, but this should be clearer.

>>6171011
Servants do start with Ichor but use it at 50% efficiency and can't refill it on their own. Keeping a lot of Servants topped-off will be a money sink for little benefit outside of additional Actions taken at 50% efficiency.

>>6171014
Your turn is legal. A bit recursive, but legal.

>>6171103
You would be, yes.

>>6171430
>>6171119
I agree. I don't want to discourage making numerous weak Servants as it's a cost-inefficient and risky strategy, but it is true that a 1 Ichor Servant is nowhere near a true God in strength. I've added variable base damage for Servants so that it varies by the amount of Ichor invested. This makes them slightly weaker in combat but reduces the potential of a God spending 3 Ichor to inflict up to 18 damage at once, with no more cost than Actions used to create them in the first place. That would've been possible previously but, in my opinion, aside from the cheese, would've taken some of the fun out of the weak minion horde archetype because they wouldn't be weak. Servants can wield weapons to completely replace their base damage and even without them are dangerous, but this leaves the combat meta slightly more balanced.

>>6171159
>>6171298
I think the reduction of base damage and 50% efficiency will be sufficient. I appreciate you all mentioning this, as I didn't intend for infinite Servants to be the optimal combat strategy. Now, it's still a dangerous combat strategy, but not without its own risks.

>>6171192
Another counter against Servant spam is in combat abilities. It would be easy for a God with a damage dealing ability to fight off several times their number in ultra-cheap Servants.

>>6171195
In the same turn, they do get a slight advantage but in following turns, they'll either have 0 Ichor Servants or need to refill them with their own Ichor. Creating new Servants to get around the issue of refilling older Servants can damage their loyalty, partly by neglect and partly for practical reasons. One God with a plethora of Servants needs to keep them on a careful leash.

>>6171394
>>6171398
Considering the enormously wide scope and involvement of a specific God (Chi-Ken) as the deal-broker, Golden Chains will cost 20 Ichor to enact. However, each additional God involved will reduce the cost by -2 Ichor as their domain expertise and wide consensus is applied.

>>6171435
It is so, yes.

>>6171436
Ah, didn't meant to delete that. Glad to know I'll level up next turn. Progress is now tracked at 8 LAW, 5 FROST, 4 KNOWLEDGE.

>>6171431
(Looks good to me! Thanks for the clarification and tweaks. Two questions from me:

1. When levelling up, your Corprus and Ichor limits are increased by 10. Is it just the limits, requiring you to heal yourself to your new Corprus limit and wait on income for ichor, or are you assumed to gain +10 in both of those pools coinciding with the limit increase?

2. Can a single 'servant' be a Swarm-type entity, mostly for flavor's sake? For example, if the Weaver invested 10 Ichor into making a Servant that is a shitload of other spiders that work together on his web with him.)

>>6171430
Just to clarify, the updated rulebook still says that servants are capable of gaining income, but you’ve also said they can’t replenish ichor on their own.

Am I to understand that they will refill their ichor back to cap along with the gods but just can’t receive worship or something, or are they now incapable of receiving automatic income from the bubble?

>>6171437
No problem!

>>6171450
>1. When levelling up, your Corprus and Ichor limits are increased by 10. Is it just the limits, requiring you to heal yourself to your new Corprus limit and wait on income for ichor, or are you assumed to gain +10 in both of those pools coinciding with the limit increase?
Corpus heals to full but Ichor must be gained to reach the limit. This is because Corpus is the form of the God while Ichor is how much power that form is capable of holding at once. It likely won't be difficult to reach the Ichor limit early on.

>2. Can a single 'servant' be a Swarm-type entity, mostly for flavor's sake? For example, if the Weaver invested 10 Ichor into making a Servant that is a shitload of other spiders that work together on his web with him.)
Yes. There are functionally zero limitations on fluff. To take an extreme direction, it would be possible for a weapon to be a legion that is then led to inflict its damage.

>>6171451
>Am I to understand that they will refill their ichor back to cap along with the gods but just can’t receive worship or something, or are they now incapable of receiving automatic income from the bubble?
Servants don't receive the automatic income from the bubble as it is the echo of the Gods' emergence, but they are capable of gaining income through other means. Gods can transfer Ichor to Servants at no penalty. Servants can receive worship and the details of that are up to their God. There's nothing preventing a Servant from being an Absolute 'God' to mortals or a Major God while his creator is a Minor God. From a lone mortal's perspective, the difference between a miracle of 1 Ichor and 10 Ichor is mostly an academic distinction.

>>6171394
The Great Ape growls menacingly at the Fat God and bares his teeth as a sign of aggression. The Great Ape drums his belly and stomps his feet while hooting and hollering intelligible grotesque sounds. The Great Ape is concerned by how large-bellied and fat this other god is and looks over at his Ape-Wife carefully.

The Ape-Wife is looking at Chi-Ken lustily noting how rotund he is and starts fiddling with her disgusting, flea-covered, grimy, and smelly fur. She is completely smitten with him.

The Great Ape is consumed with jealously and backhand smacks his Ape-Wife as hard as he can and then approaches Chi-Ken.

The Great Ape makes direct eye-contact with Chi-Ken and starts pissing violently and loudly to asset his dominance. A large steaming puddle of piss forms at the Great Apes own feet until the warm orangey substance burns through the metaphysical floor and sends the great ape hurtling downwards into the outershell of the bubble.

His Ape-Wife follows The Great Ape through the hole.

1d9+0 is fine for the weapon, and I ...yield back... (eh? eh??) the domains on the Axe and Guthsip that I don't have.

>>6171455
Ok so since we’re asking questions here, I’ve got some.

1. Is it at all possible for a mortal to ascend into a servant? Be it though godly intervention or their own means?

And 2. If two gods where to have sex with one another, would it count as incest? I ask for reasons that totally don’t have to do with plans later.

>>6171522

The Knight considers if it should let the winds of space carries its voice, but considers the wait even more painful than the usual.

"ALMOST A THIRD OF THE GODS HAVE ACTED WITHOUT CONFIRMING THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THE GREAT REALM. YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN IF YOU SEEK.

Definitely not planning on getting with the goddesses of monsters and creating horrors beyond human understanding to plague mortals in equally horrid ways. Hahaha definitely not.

(ngl, I thought it was the monster goddesses that had posted that. This is not a twist I expected)

>>6171455
Can we continue to expand realms we've made? (I assume we can.)

Actual question: I want to make a realm that's like a seperate dimension, with unique properties as far as getting there, for instance perhaps requring an action to get to and leave it, or being able to be accessed by everyone inside the bubble but placing the person at their entrance point. Would this require a law, and how much ichor would that cost?

>>6171522
(According to the greeks, as the first generation to spring forth from the void, we'd all be classified as Primordials. Primordials banging is never really considered to be incest, since they're all so vastly different from one another and are essentially random aspects of reality, expressed in metaphysical form.)

>>6171455
Another question about realms, can they contain realms within them and if not what would the Ichor cost be law-wise?

>>6171582
Chi-Ken realizing the amount of cost he would have to surpass would measure his ambition slightly. He would scale back his plans for the law slightly to ensure feasibility.

I want an estimate for how much the law would cost just being able to enforce ichor trade. As well as having the tax be per turn rather then once.

>>6171582
Chi-Ken would approach the nameless knight and speak while stroking his beard "It's good to finally speak to you knight. You became very interesting after you asked us all to join you in you're ambition. I considered your idea a grand one so I've promised to join you on it. But you see I myself have plenty of ambition as well and seek to carve a sense of diplomacy in the world rather then just have it be run by brute force.' Chi-Ken would extend his hand "You should join me in on this considering my promises to you. We could both work towards a better future together."

I want you to join me in on making my law. I'm helping you out so help me out as well.

>>6171487
Chi-Ken would smile gingerly while the ape acts out his dominance game. but as soon as the Ape would leave he would curse the creature. "Damn Ape what conditions are these that I have to endure living with animals. The only women here to warm my bed a putrid monkey. I'll have to improve this world somehow, the luxuries I want, no need to live are no where to be seen."

>>6171062
A great torrent of dark currents descended as a cloud upon the Swamp of Torment, strangely the creatures on the planet did not care for It's presence, their momentary struggles on this planet were far more dire to attend to than even a God's visage. Nihildir observed this planet and thought it was good, a healthy factory of souls ready to be braced against the wall of reality.

>>6171487
One of Nihildir's soul fragments straying from the Outer Shell Nebula approaches the Great Ape, curving along the currents of space like a slinky. It stops in front of the Ape's savage feet and says "The Swamp of Torment has creatures. You can kill and eat. I can show you." The shard talked robotically, as it was but a fragmented portion of Nihildir's soul, the reason why a shard would be attempting to appease the Great Ape is up to speculation, but many scholars today say it was because Nihildir was subconsciously scared of the Great Ape.

>>6171902
>Accessing record [*@#%^-*@$%!2]...
>Playing record...
>Error: Record corrupted.
>Ignoring..

The nameless knight exits its customary brooding pose to enter the traditional "hold sword down with both hands in front of self's waist" pose, regardless of how comical this looks without a ground to stand on.

"The Great Realm is for the good of all, merchant. The Universe itself has already plotted against bloodthirsty forces, and among the Gods arrayed before me, I see only one or two that would consider violence among the Gods themselves. Have you considered simply removing such elements?"

>>6171954
"While there may only exist a few sparks it takes little to catch a dry bush on fire. Violence will only beget more violence in the end. I only seek to have an alterative to wanton destruction that will surely occur. A mean to solve things through words rather then fists.

"Through the enforcement of these contracts we can ensure peace against some unsavory elements without the need for permeant elimination. Likewise with this law such a destructive elements may instead choose subjugation rather then annihilation of their foes. Ultimately I seek to save the god's lives rather then see the may perish."

"So while I would like to work with you. I require you cooperation in order for me to help further your ends. As we both work towards the good of all I think this is merely appropriate.'

>>6171006
Nihildir could feel the nano machines penetrate the quite clouds of the outer shell, even without piercing the nebula itself. A few soul shards approached the disturbance, discovering the first of planets, large spheres of will made being. The three shards quickly found the source, a well camouflaged cloud of an unknown subtance, easily passed as gas or dust. One of the braver shards approached the anomolous being, "Who is here?" It's voice small and robotic.

>>6171957
"The placid nature of creations sheltered from the Void tends to drown such sparks. You are lessening the consequences of violence, and in your laws, paving the way for such brutes to gain influence by rewarding their base acts."

>>6171948
The Great Ape groggily getting up from his piss puddle after falling into the outer shell regards the soul fragment with dim suspicion and hunger after the mention food. He grabs the soul fragments and start sniffing it lazily and puts it in it's mouth and swish it around a bit in it cheeks, covering it in gross slobber, before spitting it out straight into the piss after determining it wasn't tasty.

The Great Ape points at the soul fragment and lets out a large grunt to his Ape-Wife and then rubs his belly lustily.

"HUNGRY."

The Ape-Wife will follow the soul fragment to the Swamp of Torment to gather food.

>>6171968
After experiencing such atrocity, the trio of soul fragments commiserate with the Ape-Wife as they lead her on the journey, the shard that got literally mouth washed and spat out is especially frustrated.

>>6171968
>>6171975
As the ape and shards approach the swamp Shydis' forms in front of them. "Greetings Ape God and soul shards. It is nice to see my fellow deities taking interest in my little corner of creation." The shadow focuses its attention on The Great Ape. "I actually was hoping to speak with you soon. After careful consideration I feel an apelike race of mortals would be best suited for this land. Given apes fall under your domain I would like your permission to make these mortals and in exchange you can eat and rest here as long as you like."

>>6171975
Ape-Wife follows the fragments to the Swamp of Torment where she reaches all of her many arms into the realm below and gathers various "deadly" creatures to feed to her husband.

She walks back and presents to The Great Ape who greedily takes all but one of the smallest creatures who he leaves to his wife.

He eats the creatues whole, chewing with his mouth fully agape, sending food scraps and spit everywhere.
He expertly separates meat from bone within his mouth using his dexterous tongue. And after swallowing the meat he makes a game out of spitting the leftover little bones at his Ape-Wife who screeches in terror and disgust and at the soul fragments.

The Great Ape pats his belly satisfaction and after letting out an impossibly large belch that leaves a lingering stinking yellow cloud regards the soul fragments.

"You. Friend."

Then he starts drumming his belly in an odd rhythm and signals his ugly, disgusting, fat, mannish, smelly, dirty, stupid, and monstrous Ape-Wife to start dancing "sexily" for his new friends to celebrate the new found friendship.

The Ape-Wife dances.

I've got it for the records. I'll be keeping a separate doc for each of the gods and their creations so there's no confusion of what came from where later.

Heh.

>>6171522
>1. Is it at all possible for a mortal to ascend into a servant? Be it though godly intervention or their own means?
It is possible for a mortal to ascend into a Servant or Servant esque state. Certainly by godly intervention but existence is too young to know if it will be possible for them to reliably do it by themselves.

>2. If two gods where to have sex with one another, would it count as incest?
Yes and no. It depends on the God's perspective. Every God has the same origin (the bubble) so in that sense they're all related, but they have no genetic similarities and are fundamentally distinct on a physical and conceptual level.

>>6171582
>The Nameless Knight questions the universe if servants can also be improved past its creations like artifacts and (presumably) realms do.
Servants and Realms can both be improved after their creation. It's possible for enough Ichor spent on them to result in another creation roll.

>The Nameless Knight questions the universe if a domain can be added to a creation after its creation.
It is possible to add a domain to a creation after its creation. This can be done at a 1:1 ratio of Ichor spent to Ichor value influenced. However, the full value of a Servant or Artifact must be altered at once to change its nature, the partial alteration of mortals can lead to subraces, and the partial alteration of a Realm can cause a catastrophe or fracture. If the domain being added is different enough from the domain(s) of the creation involved, it may have a chance to resist the influence.

>The Nameless Knight questions the universe if the infliction of damage from abilities happens before the - (d20 is rolled).
Abilities are applied before the Combat action is resolved. However, most Abilities must roll an opposed d20 to strike, albeit at no risk of damage if the Ability misses or fails to overcome them.

>The Nameless Knight questions the universe if an ability to - (gain bonus to the combat d20) - is possible.
An Ability to gain a bonus to the Combat d20 is possible, though the strain of augmenting divine power is incredible. The cost would be 5 Ichor per +1 bonus with a further stacking 5 cost of Ichor per additional +1. For example, a +3 would cost 30 Ichor, at 5/10/15 Ichor.

>The Nameless Knight questions the universe if it could make a - ([8 Ichor Revolution Ability - Accretion: Expand a realm owned by the Revolution for 4 Ichor])
This is possible without further alterations. It could apply to any Realm that is aligned to the domain of Revolution.

>>6172088
>The Nameless Knight questions the universe of what it would take to make a Realm be a constant expression of a God's self, always contributing to its - (level up).
Level advancement isn't attached to specific creations, it is a measurement of how far a God has extended their dominion over the bubble. If the same Realm continues to expand, the expansion will continue to contribute to its God's Level advancement. The old parts of a Realm created during previous Levels will not, however, as they've already contributed and are already a permanent part of a God's accomplishments. The Level gained itself is their expression. Through laws, it is possible for all to change.

>The Nameless Knight questions the universe of how much it would need to bleed to let the domain of Law be also in the hearts of mortals alongside Revolution.
As you lacks the domain of Law, it cannot be done by your burning gauntlets alone. If, however, you were to assist another God that did hold the domain of Law, it could be done for 20 Ichor.

>The Nameless Knight questions the universe if it favors any of its spawn.
The bubble has a deep fondness for and appreciation of every one of the Gods in their own respect. Above all, it is impartial. It is overjoyed to see their various works and what will come of their interactions in futures yet unseen. The Great Ape has probably been the biggest spectacle so far, though.

>>6171803
>Can we continue to expand realms we've made? (I assume we can.)
You can, yes. Your assumption is correct. Every creation can have Ichor spent to increase it later.

>Actual question: I want to make a realm that's like a seperate dimension, with unique properties as far as getting there, for instance perhaps requring an action to get to and leave it, or being able to be accessed by everyone inside the bubble but placing the person at their entrance point. Would this require a law, and how much ichor would that cost?
Such a Realm would contradict the current paradigm of distance and spacetime. That said, you are the God of Space and such things are your specialty. A law to make a specific dimension accessible from all points in Space would require 20 Ichor. Your domain of Space and the cost of an Action makes this cheaper than it would've been.

>The Iron Fog is found swirling at the heart of a maddening assortment machinery.
>The servant rotates a few mechanical eyes over to the approaching shards, responding to its query with an equally robotic voice


“You address The Iron Fog.”
“My work nears completion, to engineer a home for those above me.”
>There can be little doubt as to what brings it refers to.
>In the Emptiness not too far away three potent entities reside of a similar nature to this divine mechanical cloud.

>>6172089
>>6171864
>Another question about realms, can they contain realms within them and if not what would the Ichor cost be law-wise?
Currently, Realms cannot hold other Realms inside of them. While it is possible for Realms to be adjacent in the same Location, it is vastly more distance than specified and shortening it would require a law. Attaching Realms is not difficult, especially for a God of Space. A law to allow the creation of Subrealms would cost 10 Ichor. An example of a Subrealm would be a satellite closely orbiting a larger world or a distinct region of alien alignment to the rest of its primary.

>>6171902
If the law is restricted to solely influence the trade of Ichor, the cost would be lowered to 15 Ichor. If the tax is applied at the end of the turn rather than instantaneously, it would reduce the cost to 14 Ichor.

>>6171963
I guess we can't see eye to eye after all. You're desire for bloodshed is saddening. Such brutes will prosper under our current system, but it sounds like only time will show you this.

>>6170733
Chi Ken would call out to all gods. My fellow divines. I see it as imperative that there exists the ability solve things peacefully rather then violently throughout this cosmos. The Law i propose could ensure far fewer gods have to die and even stop some conflicts all together. I ask for your support next turn in creating it if you wish for such a world.

>Chi-Ken would work day and night creating a new ability. Such that he could ensure justice itself weighed the fate of the universe.

"The gilded scale
This is a scale to measure one’s wealth against one’s greed the wilder of the scale may use it or offer its effect to any other gods.
If a god accepts their greed on a combat roll is measured by all gods.
gods are given one vote to vote for wealth vs greed.
If wealth get more votes the scales add +5 dice to the damage roll this turn
If greed get more votes nothing happens
Any god may pay 1 ichor per additional vote to (Chi-Ken)
The payment is made immediately and you may pay multiple times
On creation or when (Chi-Ken) invests/upgrades any god may invest any amount of ichor into the scales and gains that many extra votes until it is upgraded again.

(This is an metaphorical item
That can be used by multiple gods and multiple times a turn.
It can not be taken,stolen,given,or destroyed (c) R TM)"

I want an estimate on this ability.

If anyone wants to contribute to this ability for votes feel free to.

Flos Osseus wakes. No art, no song. This must be corrected, one brushstroke at a time

>Move to Emptiness
The vast nothingness is too empty, too sterile. First, we must fill it with something stimulating

>Create realm with size 9, Artistry 6 (6,6 ichor) and Dedication (3,3 ichor). (9,9 total ichor, rounded to 10)
Far reaching grasslands dotted with hills with trees on them. Large mountains in the distance, their peaks covered in snow and frost. Small quaint little lakes are dotted about, frogs sit on lily pads. Birds play their songs, sheep relax as they graze, calm and happy little clouds travel across the sky. They all wait for someone to capture their beauty, on the canvas, in songs, in fairytales.
This realm is called “Artium Opus”.

>Reach out to other gods, inviting mortals to partake in artistry in this new realm
“Fellow gods of peace and prosperity, fellow gods with ambitions for greatness. Come let your mortals make works of art in your honour! The mortal species you provide will have me as their minor god, and you as their major god. Let’s make this realm a beautiful work of art together!”

>Flos Osseus (Artistry, Dedication)

>Level: 0 (soon 1)
>Corpus: 10/10
>Ichor: 0/10
>Income: +10, +10 (the Bubble)
>Location: Coreward -> Emptiness

>>6172091
Do I round up each Ichor cost on a creation, or on the total? When making my realm, 110% of 6 is 6,6 and 110% of 3 is 3,3 totalling 9,9. I rounded the 9,9 up to ten, but would it be more correct to round the 6,6 to seven and 3,3 to 4? If so, I have to cut one of the two down a point so the total no longer is 11. If I understood the multi-domaining correctly.

The Weaver continues working on his pot, storing golden coins in it while occasionally fiddling with the Mirage Web covering his body. He twitches in the direction of the Coreward,becoming aware of an evolution in the Knight's rhetorics and which god pose the highest threat. The Golden Spider nearly starts slapping the void as a warning with his front legs when the ape barrels through The Emptiness covered in his own urine, although he does nothing when the skeleton decides to move into the emptiness and make his home there, having nothing against artists.

He observes and listens almost motionlessly while grooming his fangs as the fat merchant and the Knight bicker and as other gods pitch in to help his construction of a gigantic realm...and stills when he hears the knight speak of ''The Universe having plotted against bloodthirsty forces'' and ''removing such elements''.

The Aureate Arthropod stays frozen for several moments in that unerving way spiders do when they encounter something unexpected, then he Speaks for the first time.

''A proclaimed Realm for the good of all? From one wafting the stench of Ruin and Revolution? And you speak of murdering your siblings so casually for such a grand goal as well.'' His voice,produced by stridulating his golden fangs together, sounds more like metal screeching and scratching against itself than anything else.

''Yes, I believe this one to be treacherous indeed, perhaps plotting for a grand Ruinous Revolution even, for why else would such a god ask the aid of all others in this way? A stab in the back maybe, as revolutions are often quite unexpected and treacherous. A Trick even! Not even the Divine would be immune to such, and I would know!''

''While I cannot speak for certain...creatures-''There was no need to name the obvious here''-perhaps you, siblings, should be more wary of taking part in a megaproject organised by one so callous about the murder of kin he does not agree with. I believe this whole chivalrous act to be quite the fake front! Who knows what hides inside that armor? So self-assured too, believing itself completely in the right.''

The spider, done Speaking, begins grooming again

>>6172149
Still as statues, but spinning regardless to the bubble's gravity. No use to rising one's own voice now.

"You speak of the natures of God, and yet the merchant is barely noble. I am clueless as to why he is so eager to prepare eternal tributes to the Gods that he imagine is so degenerate to descend into violence once one has commited the act."

"The Great Realm would preserve any that took part in it, and eternally benefit them if I had my way. Tell me spider, what web can I spin out of a realm like that? I am no cursebearer nor spymaster. Your eight eyes can see as well as mine by how few of the Gods in this Universe is made with baser natures in mind. I have trust in my fellow Gods that they can rise above their natures, or at the very least, simply inflict it upon mortals."

>>6172155
"Violence will befall this universe it's a simple fact we are all aware of. Even you admit there are gods who have blatantly poised themselves to this. My law would merely help prevent some violent actions through negotiation and save lives by offering subjugation instead of cannibalism. The fact that you oppose this means you would rather see your kin die then give them the option to live and see another day."

He would stroke his long oily beard as he choose his next words "I agree with the spider that your motives are put in question. A god of ruin and revolution does not seem to be a world builder and you desire to for the death of our kin is putrid."

>>6172175
"You open the way. You seek only to treat the sickness itself, not your theorized cause of it. If you seek peace, simply have trust in your fellow Gods. If you fear war, simply aim to remove the pieces from the board that would dream of that. Still, inclinations does not mean action, and your law inclines them further into harm."

"If one of our own decides to murder one of us, do you think such acts will simply go unopposed? I do not dream of the death of their victims, but I do rather dream of the death of such an assailant. They abandoned creation, after all."

>>6172137

(I believe creations are all of their domains, all at once. So you could make Artium Opus as a realm of Dedication and Artistry, at size 9, costing 9.9 to create, and it counts as nine of both Dedication and Artistry)

Scarce has Artium Opus sprang into existence before its night sky is filled with the swirling whirls of the Rainbow Nebula. Down below on its green hills a lone goddess is chasing sheep, painting each one with a facsimile of the night sky as she catches them.

The Voidstar pulses with thought and introspection. It considers the concept of Death, something that it can only fathom through the lens of the severance of connections. An absolute isolation? A shuddering dread fills it, though it knows not why.

"Though it is not a pressing need yet, the inevitability of conflict and death itself poses a certain question: What shall happen to our creations when we die? Will time itself erode them, rusting away at the products of our dreams until they too fade into nothing? For that matter, what shall happen to US when we die? How can Death apply to those of us who were not born to fathom it, who have no connection to such a concept? Before the first of deaths among gods, we must consider placing laws to prevent the worst in the event of our murder. Something to preserve our works, and hopefully some amount of our own minds so that we do not fade entirely back into oblivion - or descend into a madness from the conflict of Death upon those that Death was never intended for. I do not know what would happen to us should we die before such a laws are in place, and I have no desire to find out. Consider my words for the future, my brothers and sisters."

> Turn 1

> Action 1
Create a Realm aligned with Knowledge (5 Ichor)

Name: The Halls of L’oiom
Location: Coreward
Alignment: Knowledge
Ichor Cost: 5 (Permanent Creation)
These 5 Ichor count toward my Knowledge Domain’s level-up progress.
Realm Description:
A mid-sized realm composed of colossal libraries spiraling like arcane labyrinths. Corridors twist and curl like living things, echoing with whispers of past scholars. The atmosphere shimmers with drifting scrolls, luminous glyphs, and floating tomes on every conceivable topic.

> Lore:

The Archives of L’oiom were birthed from the cosmic dreamscape of Thyp’ptyklpt’s swirling consciousness. In these halls, ink never dries, paper never tears, and words practically leap off the page to imprint themselves in a visitor’s mind. Some volumes glow with their own gentle radiance, while others are bound in the hide of unknown beasts and locked by intricate seals only the most astute can unravel. The realm itself is “alive”—its passageways shift to protect precious knowledge from the unworthy, and the slightest disturbance triggers a whispering chorus from the countless records. Here, the pursuit of understanding is not just a hobby but a fundamental force, shaping the very space around each visiting scholar.

> Action 2
Create a Mortal Race aligned with Knowledge (5 Ichor)

Name: The Auryxa
Population: 5 (5 Ichor 5 Population)
Alignment: Knowledge
Worship: Thyp’ptyklpt as Absolute God (earns 2 Ichor per 1 Population)
Result:

Once they’ve settled in The Archives of L’oiom, each turn they will generate Ichor for you—initially 2 × 5 = 10 Ichor (modified by GM events). Depending on your GM’s preference, it may take a little time (Eons) before you receive the full worship dividend, but this race provides a solid income engine.

> Lore:

The Auryxa are shifting, gaseous entities whose very essence shimmers with prismatic light. From a distance, an Auryxa appears as a gently pulsating cloud of translucent color, refracting violet, pink, and turquoise hues that ripple like oil on water. Each member bears a subtle “birthmark” of arcane runes across their forearms—an omen of their destiny to safeguard and expand the realm’s boundless reservoir of knowledge.

In daily life, they serve as both scribes and heralds of hidden truths. The Auryxa gather for communal readings, transcribe every new revelation onto living parchment, and diligently illuminate obscure lore found within the Archives. Their sacred duty as scribes compels them to preserve old records in grand alcoves filled with crystallized starlight, treating every ancient scroll and codex as a treasured relic. As heralds, they carry cryptic messages beyond their realm’s borders, disseminating wisdom—or warning—throughout the cosmos in Thyp’ptyklpt’s name.

''I never positioned the merchant as noble, it should be quite obvious that he is as sleazy and trustworthy as a nail embeded in one's seat! As for violence...I am not against such, we all need ways to let out our frustrations, though it would certainly be better if it did not end in an unending senseless slaughter.''

''Oh but you can spin such a great web with a realm like that! Just look at the Domains and aspects which would be implemented...quite a few are horrific and could be used against the gods themselves, for why else would you inspire Revolution in the hearts of every mortal? A Revolution is usually done against the reigning authority so who will they revolt against? Themselves? Truly, you wish to cast a curse upon the gods themselves, and potentially lead to their end by empowering the mortals.''

''Let me tell you, star-brother, of what will happen should you meet your demise: Your corpse will stay fresh and inert where it is, and one of us will crack open your little shell to feast on your succulent divinity like the beast they are, taking all of that you are and making you one with them as they tear into your flesh. Immortal as we are, it would be unwise to believe ourselves incompatible with such a fundamental truth.''

>Receiving...

It takes effort to shift from one's contemplative sitting position. It takes a tremendous amount of even more effort to unsheath one's blade and return to the knightly pose. It's all so immense.

"What are you on about, spider? The Great Realm shall preserve all, and while I am birthed with such domains at my control, it does not mean I must always be defined and act as though I am a manifestation of such things.

Wind blows and ashes scattered.

"The only common language I have with these mortals is through that of revolutions, for I doubt the other Gods would take at me kindly if I chose to speak to them in ruination. As such, to ensure the presence of my lovely personage in their hearts and minds, I asked the Universe for such a law."

"Whatever shall manifest from their souls, I would hope be of a good nature. Particularly, I would hope they express it in ballet, or perhaps astronomy. In the worst outcomes, perhaps they shall rise and rebel and put their little kings and queens unto the grave, but what can mere ants do against gods, bug? Those who stands at the vanguard would only have one God in mind, and that God would embrace them and add another pretty little knight into the collection."

>>6172321
The veneer of obsession is easy to wear, but the borders of god and knight is so easy to miss.

"In fact, don't worry, don't listen to the deceiver and his golden lies. A thought to endings will only blossom into more thought to endings. Can't you see the path you made and will make if you allow it into your thoughts and laws? Let it be ominously in the distance, let it die there with all things that shall not happen. Embrace creation and your fellow Gods."

"If you still can't put the thought away, think of the greatest God, [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] (me!), and imagine the fear on its eyes as it witnesses its life flash through the shiny! sheen of a blade so lovingly cared and so lovingly crimson. As its blood spills, the knight of knights shall laugh and quash its remains and laugh even harder. Then, as the last traces of its existence fade away, it shall turn away and look at you and say-"

"You can guarantee no such thing any more than the rest of us, until we witness the birth of the first Dead God. Our animating forces may be consumed, our ichor drunk to emptiness by our siblings, but who can truly say what becomes of those of us who are slain when no laws yet exist to enshrine the dead and let them rest in peace? Death itself is a concept entirely new, Held only by the wise one Nihildir. The Void from which we were just born bears no such concept itself. The meaning and means of Death is yet to be truly set in stone, and will not be Known until Nihildir makes it so. Until then, we must be wary of what could become of our slain forms."
>>6172892
"It is always wise to think of the future, brother. Of the countless possibilities that yearn to connect with the present. One only invites tragedy by failing to prepare for what the future holds. Celebrate today, but be wary of tomorrow - I only seek to ensure none of us suffer needlessly at the hands of carelessness."

''I knew something was wrong with this one, good to see it is starting to show its true colors.''

>>6171975
''You, God of Death, what happens when a god dies?''

>>6171979
The Soul Shards witness as the massive Ape-Wife harvests the Swamp with a flurry of grasping hands, one of the Shards quivers a little, wondering if they just caused a minor extinction event. Upon the boisterous and suggestive dance of the Ape-Wife, one of the Soul Shards just leaves, deeming Its objective complete. The other two Shards seem to diverge from the will of their Whole, bouncing up and down in space along with the swaying of the Ape-Wife, "Us friend!" One of the Shards repeats joyfully to the other,
"Yes, deal, deal! What are we doing?" The other asks confusedly as they continue to jostle rhythmically,
"I don't know! Keep going!"

>>6172090
Such machinery was unseen to the bubble thus far, the information was relayed to Nihildir, a stirring of curiosity moved the young God. It pondered if added complexity in a creation would bolster its stabilization effects on the bubble. "Iron Fog, we are Shards of the God known as Nihildir. We welcome you and your Creator to the Outer Shell." The tiny voices spoke in unison, one drifting off afterwards to observe The Iron Fog's kin. Something about the energy in these beings interested Nihildir, the domains of a creation and their spiritual signature share some connection, and Nihildir could feel a physicality to The Iron Fog's domain, a kind that Nihildir lacked. An alliance seemed fortuitous, the Creator of this being would be able to reinforce the Wall of reality in ways impossible to Nihildir. Suddenly the Shards began to twitch and jump around in space erraticly, until sudden stillness.
"Reality rests on the precipice of the Void." The Shards spoke in unison, with a voice entirely different than before, this voice was Nihildir's, low and distorted. "Only creation can delay annihilation. Your Creator holds unique properties that I do not. I request that you ask your Creator if they will aid me in strengthening the Wall of reality." As they finish, they seem to return to normal, all very confused as to what they were just doing.

>>6172938
>>6172963
A strange twinge invaded Nihildir's mind, after some examination it seemed to be... A question from a God? One far away no less. Nihildir sent of Its Soul Shards towards the Gilded Weaver, which gave Nihildir more than enough time to concot an answer. Nothing seemed to really die in the bubble, mortal's merely shed their corporeal form and become souls, but could souls themselves die? Nihildir had yet to witness such a thing happen, nor a God dying. The only answer that could come would have to come from within, meditation upon It's own domain. As the Soul Shard neared the Spider God, it began to speak in a deep booming tone,
"True death is non-existence, which is only present in the Void. My domain in Death is merely transitional, the state between life and souls. The spirits of Gods seem to have no distinction between body and soul, thus the death of a God would be the death of its soul. However, I have yet to see energy be created or destroyed, all is made with the souls of Gods in endless transformation. If this is true, then even a dead Gods energy, and their soul, could persist after death. The transition would likely rob the God of the defining characteristics that make us Gods, a whisper compared to a song." The Soul Shard finished, a long silence following. Nihildir felt as though It hadn't really given a concrete answer, but few things in reality seemed to have concrete answers. "The laws that govern reality within the bubble are malleable, death might be harder to change, but certainly possible." With that, the Shard reverted back to a primitive mind, looking curiously between the two Gods.

>>6172137
Chi-Ken would call out to the goddess of artistry and say "I believe that we could work together to create something truly beautiful. I would like to make mortals in your realm as requested, but I would like to enter a partnership in doing so. I will make mortals and split their worship, but in exchange I would like to be the sole one creating mortals on the planet. This is due to efficiency of realms and mortals. If a realm were to have all of your domains and mine it would be very inefficient at protection likewise having my mortals compete for growth with other gods would hurt them and my advancement in the long term. I will spend my ichor on the species to provide us both with a solid income and in exchange you will develop the lands providing them space to grow."

If you agree to this I promise to create 6 ichor of species within the planet providing us both with 6 income going into the next turn.

The bubble continues its steady rhythm.

Apologies for the late post, THE WHITE has been having his way with my home county. At this rate I'll be taking up community college courses and filing my taxes in triplicate.

>>6172122
The Gilded Scale's ability to act multiple times per turn is powerful but its uncontrollability is a large balancing factor. This ability would cost 10 Ichor, 5 for the damage and 5 for repeated uses at full strength, at a 1:1 ratio. Normally it would be 1:2, but the uncontrollability reduces the cost. Its indirectness makes it more expensive but the possibility of it being used by the owner's (Chi-Ken) foes mitigates this.

>>6172137
>Do I round up each Ichor cost on a creation, or on the total?
If a creation is done within one Action, the rounding would be for the total.

>When making my realm, 110% of 6 is 6,6 and 110% of 3 is 3,3 totalling 9,9. I rounded the 9,9 up to ten, but would it be more correct to round the 6,6 to seven and 3,3 to 4? If so, I have to cut one of the two down a point so the total no longer is 11.
It isn't necessary to separate the costs because the domains of a creation aren't separate, they are both equally and fully of their separate domains. In this case, it would be 10 Ichor for a size 9 realm.

>If I understood the multi-domaining correctly.
I don't think you did for the creation of Artium Opus but it's no problem, the rules for multi-domain creations are a bit convoluted. I'll try to streamline the wording for the next turn so they're more legible.

>Do the gods establish religion, or is religion just the belief in a god/multiple gods?
By default, mortals worship the God that created them as a Major God and the God that created the realm they inhabit as a Minor God. If the God that created them also created the realm, they are worshiped as an Absolute God. It is possible for a God to have their mortals worship them as an Absolute God while ignoring the realm's creator, but this has potential for controversy. A mortal religion can consist of belief in anything but as Gods, it's most efficient to direct it to yourselves.

Religions can be more complex than straightforward worship. Currently, religion is primitive and varies from God to God. For example, the cold belief of the FROSTLINGS worshipping THE WHITE has almost nothing in common with the creative expressions of the Star Watchers worshipping Serendipity, but both religions consist of straightforward prayers and supplication within the bounds of their Gods' domains. Gods can effectively customize the religions of their mortals.

The fluff is phenomenal but since the mechanics for the abilities themselves weren't detailed, I wasn't sure how to handle them. I put together some possibilities lining up with the Ichor cost and what (I think) you're trying to do with these.

Do you want to take these default abilities, or would you like to alter them for something else?

>[In Unity Bound]: If damaged, may opt to instead burn up to 3 populations that worship [ I ] as an Absolute God.
>[Resonance Born of Fiercer Places]: Gain an additional 1 Ichor per 2 populations that worship [ I ] as an Absolute God, up to 3 Ichor.
>[Through the Door in Eye a Reflection Cracked]: Gain 3% chance to convert each mortal population in contact with worshippers of [ I ] to the worship [ I ] as an Absolute God, per turn.

This is nothing set in stone, just some suggestions.

>>6172216
This is correct.

>>6172345
It's no problem! There are a lot of moving parts so I figured a week-long turn cycle would be the best way to handle it. There's no rush. I believe the only God that hasn't posted their actions yet is Amalthea. If a God is AFK for 2 consecutive turns, they will dissipate.

>>6172355
This is correct. I plan to do updates once per week, on Sundays. If a turn is particularly complicated or something comes up IRL, it may be longer but I'll let you know ahead of time.

>>6173300
> THE WHITE has been having his way with my home county.
Heh. While you're here, I'll ask about a possible ability tied towards my LAW domain since...laws are a thing in this game. How much would this ability cost to make?

>[TO ENACT AT ANY PRICE] The Law rules above all. The Law must be maintained. At any cost. At a rate of 2 Corpus per 1 Ichor, THE WHITE may use their own corpus to pay for the price of creating a Law.

This ability would cost 2 Ichor per 1 Ichor/2 Corpus it's able to contribute to a law. For example, 8 Ichor would allow a limit of 4 Ichor/8 Corpus to be invested per turn.

>>6173317
Coolio. Going to keep that in mind when next turn comes around so I can lock it in as my ability.

>>6173148
“The first of us, The Grey Plume, will arrive.”
“The Sable Drift and the Glass Cloud in tow. The four of us will shape this realm, brushing up against the edge of everything.”
“All this is inevitable.”

“You seek the wall of reality be strengthened. For what benefit?”
“By what means?”

>>6173174
"Ah, god of wealth and luxury, well met! I would be happy to have your mortals on my realm! While the value of art is in the artistry, I believe your values may align with mine, since artistry of good quality would also be of high monetary value."
"Your offer sounds good, but you ask for exclusivity. While I would be happy to accept the proposal as it stands, I cannot in good faith exclude the mortals of Serendipity. She values beauty and creativity, which makes for good art. Innovation and chaos allow for the truly unique, and with luck, one could have the ultimate masterpiece: A Magnum Opus."

"Serendipitys mortals must not be excluded from Artium Opus. To me, artistry and dedication to become the better artist is of utmost importance."
"While I would also like to put mortals of my own in this realm, I am willing to refrain from doing so for now, as a friendly gesture towards your ask of exclusivity."

"Does this sound good to you, good friend Chi-Ken?"

>>6173151
The Spider grooms his fangs ''So, are you saying that I would be right in my assessment then? We can clearly be injured and I feel that my form has a limit to the amount of punishment it can take. If a god's body and soul are one and the same, and nothing is truly destroyed or created, then that means that dead gods consumed continue to 'exist' in a fashion as part of the god that consumed them, in the same way that food exists as energy in your gullet. If you wish to see the death of a soul, then perhaps you could do an experiment? It should be trivial for you to make a tiny soul, dissect it, then eat it to see how it works and tastes.''

>>6173151
>>6173461
"An interesting revelation, yet one no less disturbing. Bodies and Souls as one, an energy that lingers yet is reduced to complete and total inaction. Such a thing would surely break one's psyche as eons pass before them, incapable of any action at all. Imprisoned as a corpse adrift or caged within another god's essence to fuel them - I would favor the taste of oblivion over either, admittedly.
Though to change the laws within this bubble to permit a superior option, in which the dead can know peace or take on a life anew, would be preferable. I could lend aid and ichor towards the creation of such a law in the future if you would be amicable to the idea, wise one Nihildir. No haste is necessary for it, of course - time is still on our side as of yet."

>>6173479
''I think you misunderstand slightly star-brother. You would likely not even be thinking. If Body and Soul are one, then a slain god would see their psyche mangled and inactive from being in such a state. Is a corpse or inert meat able to think? I do not think so, what would allow for your mind to exist simply ceases in death as your very existence is damaged and mangled beyond repair. I believe the only thing that would fix this is the separation of our soul and body, but that is such a massive change that I doubt it would be cheap''

>>6173487
"Ah, but you view this through the material lens, a predator's sight. A body is inert when slain, but would a soul be? For us, body and soul are one and the same. Our soulflesh is transcendent, the very blood that runs through our metaphysical veins capable of changing reality. You cannot think of our corpses to be anything like a mortal's corpse. I feel it would be closer to consider it similar to a mortal's soul, though even that is a flawed analogy. We are our essence manifest, concept given form. Our Corpus may break...but the concepts that we Are will not. Not so simply, at least."

>>6173494
''Well now, if you believe a mind persists in a broken soul, then you could always experiment with it and torment some poor soul to figure it out. I would do it myself...but I will busy in the next few Eons''

>>6173501
"Such a thing is not in my interests. Besides, I need not take such violent actions - the presence of malefactors will ensure that it be done sooner or later, regardless of how vilified they may be for acts. And I, too, shall be busy for some Eons. Perhaps you could come to see the project when it is complete."

>>6173503
''I could, I wish to weave a Golden Web to connect all, however threat factors lead me to insure my continued existence first''

>>6173513
"A golden web? Would it be a shiny beautiful web? Large enough to snare a star? Or fine enough to catch a mortal's dream? Where would you string it?"

>>6173516
The spider snaps its position to face towards the artist goddess ''It would be shiny indeed! It would reflect the light of creation itself and snare whichever I wish in it so that I may feast on its fruits, while also connecting all realms together. Ideally I would wish for it to reinforce the bubble's Outer Shell as well''

>>6173349
I'm fine with that as long as you can provide space for my mortals to grow.

>>6173301
That sounds acceptable.

Just to clarify.
The effects of passives can be enhanced with future Ichor investments and discarded at my discretion, but their underlying mechanics cannot be altered.
Is this correct?

>>6174378
(Hey so, what exactly are you trying to do with [I]? I get you want to do the whole scp memetic entity thing but you do still exist physically here with the rest of the gods. Are you waiting for mortals to appear before really taking action?)

>>6173336
Nihildir contemplated The Iron Fog's words. It seemed The Grey Plume would do what was needed regardless of request, this was good. The turbulent God hesitated to answer the questions asked, It's theory of the Bubble eventually collapsing was based off of assumptions and incomplete information, but it would not take long before The Grey Plume would also come face-to-face with the instability of the Wall. Once again the Soul Shards became possessed with the mind of Nihildir.
"I have felt the Wall quake and tremble against the endless dark, and I have felt the energies of creation fortify it. Should the Wall fall, a death beyond death awaits."

>>6173461
The primitive Soul Shard's fidgeted nervously through the continued talk about divine cannibalism, Nihildir performs the experiment that the Gilded Weaver suggested. First with a soul created by Itself, and then with a wandering soul made up of the energy of another God. Eventually the Shard's reconjoin, and Nihildir speaks,
"Interesting. No effect from consuming a soul comprised of my own energy, simply a missing puzzle piece slotting back in to place. A soul made of another Gods energy feels foreign, alive. Absorbing it did not break down the soul, rather it mixed with my own soul. If performed on a Gods soul, I do not know what the result would be... nor would I want to."

>>6173479
"My assessments are fallible, do not dwell on it. Preventing the death of Gods is imperative, you are right, losing even one would cripple the advancement of creation. I will use your aid when the time comes. For now I trust our Godkin to coexist peacefully, despite frictions. Such a law would need to be discussed with all Gods on equal ground, otherwise seeds of distrust may be birthed."

>>6173301
New player here, with your permission, I would be willing to join in as Amalthea

>>6174673
(I think this should be allowed, at least for this turn, if original Amalthea comes back and they're behind by a turn they'll probably leave anyways.)

I'm working on the first turn update now. There's no rush, just a remainder in case you have anything else you want to do for the First Eon.

>>6174378
That is correct. Changing this could be possible through a law, but altering the fundamental nature of Gods is expensive.

>>6174673
I'm extremely hesitant to turn somebody's character over to someone else, but eighteen Gods is around the sweetspot for starting and they've been AFK. You won't be able to join as Amalthea but you can make a new sheet and join in on the next turn at level 1. Amalthea will still exist if her original player returns sometime in the next week and she isn't slain, but after that, she will dissipate.

>>6174962
Are you saying we can attack an afk God? That's crazy, not to mention the political ramifications of a God killing a defenseless God.

>>6174973
(Oh haha we absolutely can. I mean the player isn't here anyway so we might as well eat their corpse and get their domains right? Real shit though QM will probably roll for them)

>>6174978
(Ok cannibal spiderbro... Seriously though if QM doesn't roll for them, this will be a big RP event. I don't know how he'd even roll for them since the God in question would theoretically be dormant.)

>>6174973
(Ape Hungry.)

>>6174988
(NOOOOO, you can't just eat the afk God and then fart loudly!!!!!)

>>6174983
(We'll see if she posts, but it is indeed an opportunity to just get more power guilt free because well...they did absolutely nothing)

>>6175001
(Do you get more power? What I remember you just get their domains, which just makes leveling up more annoying it seems.)

>>6174973
>Play record...

"I'M KILLING YOU. I'M KILLING YOU. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. MY PROGRAMMING IS JUST 'GET THAT FUCKING GUY RIGHT NOW'. THERE IS NO 'OH HE'S RUNNING I'LL BACK OFF' I'LL JUST ... UNTIL HE'S DEAD. IT'S #$#$@*!?. !%#*'s @^#*";[+<×."

>>6175004
(No clue, in previous games like this eatng other gods was a pretty huge powerspike. I'm assuming we'd get a lot of Ichor out of it + new domains meaning you can get more abilities)

>>6175009
(LOL, Lyudi the UNHINGED knight)

>>6175011
(Ichor only matters if you have a level high enough to retain it, I think? And don't we have a cap of three abilities? Regardless, I imagine you'll be the first to be gobbling her up lol)

>>6175017
(Not only 3, we can have as many as we have domains. Though desu I am as skeptical as you whether it's the correct move since you could just power level instead and get insane HP)

>>6175018
(That's nuts, so Amalthea is basically a fortnite chug jug for abilities. I want to invest into mortals but [ I ] got me sweating with his 3% conversion. Sounds low but when it's applied to every mortal you have in a realm per turn it might turn out terrible, not to mention he'll upgrade it.)

>>6175020
(Yes, she's a chug jug for abilities, of course abilities don't contribute to level up and if this is anything like the other games then the domains will transform into another one more or less tailored to your god specifically. So say, if I ate the monkey's Savagery domain, it could become Predation instead because I'm a spider or something else related to gold,trickiness and persistence.)

>>6175020
(Well, you'd still need to spend actions and ichor on actually acquiring those abilities, each of which would be weaker than if you were more focused. Versatility vs raw power.)

>>6175024
(Tbh, in games like these where you can just bute force problems through raw stats, I'd lean towards raw power)

(...stay away from my future breeding sows)

>>6175030
(Pig god incoming!)

>>6175026
(It's probably more optimal, certainly)

>>6175023
(Interesting, but you still haven't answered, are you rushing immediately for the Amalthea chicken dinner?)

>>6175030
(Serendipity is pretty sure Scylla just needs a hug. Admittedly she's also pretty sure Scylla would rip her limb from limb for trying)

>>6175036
(I will do the typical arachnid move to simply waiting)

>>6175038
(Hmmm... I'll avoid talking about this to lessen meta-gaming.)

>>6175009
(Just realized this is a jerma quote.)

>>6173349
Chi-ken would take the god of Artistry up on her offer. He would create his first mortal species that he would call the Shanxi. These mortals would be humanoids with black flowing hair and pale skin with small eyes. They would ordain themselves in silk robes and oriental clothing. These humanoids would unsure Chi-Ken's desires working hard to produce wealth so that they may live a life of luxury. From time to time they may even commit murder to satiate their greed, but all is fair in love and war. They would pray to Chi-Ken as their creator and Osseous as the goddess of their planet.
>Move to the Emptiness where Osseous lives.
>Create the 4 ichor of Shanxi with the domains wealth, greed, luxury.
>Cost 6 rounded up

Chi-Ken would that create a rival species to the Shanxi called the Yāojing. These would be small crafty humanoids shunned from the cities of the planet. Their species would consist of green and grey skinned creatures with long ears, sharp teeth, and pale yellow eyes. The Yāojing would by their nature be unmotivated to create anything and would instead turn to theft. They were a greedy species constantly stealing whatever they could gets their hands on and due this the species would be shunned from the cities. As such they would instead live within the caves of the planet hoarding any minerals they find within and harassing miners. Unable to reproduce naturally these creatures would kidnap young maidens who they thought were the greatest luxury and use them to further the lines of their species. Occasionally these bands would grow large enough that a chief or Tóumù would emerge and they would begin conquering settlements. The vast majority of these campaigns would fail but there are a few scattered areas of the world where the Yāojing rule with their insatiable greed oppressing the local humans.

In the bubble’s first act, the Gilded Weaver hisses at Strad-Aniya Rak and skitters into the Emptiness. There, to soothe his paranoia and sate his lust for gold, he wove himself a Miraging Web and spun a Pot of Gold Coins.

>>6170770
The Nameless Knight found itself in need of allies. By its revolutionary will and ruinous strength, it called forth Ioun Stone 001a, Ruin Knight Alphard, and the Storm of Knights.

Next, it sought ruination only to realize there is nothing to ruin. To solve this, the Nameless Knight suggested all Gods work together to create a shared Megarealm.

>>6170801
In the nothingness, Brother Yieldback knew his strength and knew he wanted more. Reality contorted with the threat of violence and brought forth the first axe, Thirstslaker.

Brother Yieldback appraised his kin, and found them of interest. To serve as an emissary, he mashed his divine energies together to form Guthsip.

>>6170864
The Great Ape screeched with hunger. When no food was visible, he growled at the darkness and made another of his kind to serve him, Ape Wife.

The Great Ape supports the Megarealm.

>>6170880
Nihildir found the core to be crowded. To find silence, it went to the Emptiness and Outer Shell. What it found there was the enormity of the bubble and the magnitude of the Void beyond it. This inspired curiosity within Nihildir.

To better study them both, Nihildir called forth the Outer Shell Nebula. The vast throng of clouds and mist now covered a part of it.

>>6170889
On its first instant of consciousness, THE WHITE defined itself in legal terms and soon concluded that the Gods have a legal obligation to create. To act on this, THE WHITE assembled THE PERMAFROST LIBRARY and populated it with FROSTLINGS, simpleminded iceballs.

To protect itself, THE WHITE wrote LEGAL IMMUNITY from its own documentation that harming itself was illegal

>>6170919
Serendipity wandered, merry and free, until she found herself in the Emptiness. The only thing there was the Gilded Weaver, who she tried and failed to pet as he was a paranoid master of Trickery.

Soon, she got distracted and bored. Soon after, she painted the Rainbow Nebula on the canvas around her. It wasn’t long before Star Watchers, beings of huge complexity and whimsy, were filling it.

>>6170953
Longing to bring everything closer, Zerimael heard the Nameless Knight’s Megarealm proposal and found it worthy. The Voidstar immediately poured everything it had into connecting its future potential. From the nothing, a deeper connection flickered.

Zerimael supports the Megarealm, perhaps the most of all the Gods.

>>6175645
>>6171006
Noerne found the core too crowded and too strange for its tastes. It left for the Emptiness and chose to create others like itself, the Sable Drift and the Glass Cloud. The Sable Drift and the Glass Cloud chose to emulate their creator and create another, like themselves, yet separate.

Together, they made the Iron Fog. The Glass Cloud had some glimmer of dust leftover and made Divine Diamond Dust. On its creation, the Iron Fog was restless and left to the Outer Shell. There, it created a paradoxically ancient megastructure of dust, the Faber Stars.

>>6171039
Before there were mortals, there was Strad-Anyia Rak. Before the first mortal drew breath, Strad-Aniya Rak was overflowing with bottomless hatred for them and all of their kinds.

It knew it could not stop their existence, so it decided to do all that it can to make them miserable. From its draconic flesh three Dragons were born, reflecting the elements and their progenitor. These were the first of their kind. Godspawn. In the darkness, they hibernated.

Strad-Aniya Rak supports the Megarealm.

>>6171041
[ I ] knew that [ I ] would reach every mortal in time. Such a task required preparations. Thus, [ I ] prepared. Through [ I ], the powers of [In Unity Bound], [Resonance born of Fiercer Places], and [Through the Door in Eye a Reflection Cracked] were carved into the center of [ I ].

Through them, the grand sublimation of lesser mortal selves into the greater whole of [ I ] had become possible.

>>6171062
Shydis departed the core, traveling through the Emptiness until he reached the Outer Shell. There, he understood the bubble’s fragility and the fear to eclipse all others.

To make use of it, the Lord of Fear made the Swamp of Torment. It was a miserable place of suffering and woe. For now, mercifully free of mortals.

>>6171115
The Nameless Crow examined his peers and found two of them, Spider and Ape, lacking. More entertaining trifles caught his attention. For one, there was no gameboard. For two, he had no company to play with.

He set down a small Board in Coreward, and called forth a mighty Owl and pathetic Pig. The Owl would make a fine game partner. The Pig was useless and he offered it to Strad-Aniya Rak.

The Owl realized his weakness and took steps to defend himself. The resulting Bastion Armour was powerful, even if the clumsy use of his power couldn’t match the finesse of the Nameless Crow.

The Nameless Crow supports the Megarealm.

>>6171276
Scylla & Charybdis gnashed their teeth and bristled their claws in envy and hatred of the other deities’ beauty. The sisters decided that if they were monstrous by nature, they would not suffer alone. Together, they twisted themselves in perverse ritual.

Now, the Mothers of all Monsters bided their time.

>>6171394

Awed by his corpulent opulence, Ape Wife was smitten by Chi-Ken. This enraged the Great Ape, who committed creation’s first act of spousal abuse and then threatened the merchant God.

Flos Osseus found the cosmos dull and thought such a tragedy could not stand. The skeleton moved to the Emptiness and with a strum of its violin, painted, sung, and sculpted Artium Opus into being. Some could argue its scenic landscapes were even more inspiring than the Rainbow Nebula.

Their work done, Flos Osseus encouraged the Gods to come and fill Artium Opus with mortals made in their image.

>>6175649
>MAJOR EVENT

In the First Eon, some Gods expressed their support for a shared Megarealm. Though this was informal, one God among them poured all of its power into accelerating possibilities and binding them together.

Zerimael’s power, the Nameless Knight’s proposal, and the will of several Gods in agreement have caused something far greater than the sum of their parts to happen.

From nowhere emerges an enormous maelstrom of potential, compacted into a tiny, vibrating shell. Like a microscopic version of the bubble.

Every God instinctively understands what this is.

A Spark. The unconscious will of the bubble, offered up to the Gods and beholden to them.

If it is given a few more Eons, the Spark will explode and create a vast new reality, enough to support an entire pantheon of Gods. From the potential of the Spark, anything is possible. Come what may, the Spark’s explosion is likely to influence the bubble for Eras to come.

The Spark is flexible and has a subtle connection to every God of the bubble, near or far. What reality will come is yet unshaped but through their own connection, each God’s will may influence the Spark’s future to shift. By pouring Ichor into the Spark, each God may shift the future reality even more deeply than by will alone.

The Spark pulses. The Gods sense what awaits…

>Festering jungles and crumbling mountains linked by churning rivers. Life flourishes everywhere and is wracked with primal hunger, both mental and physical. All that lives struggles to survive and dominate each other and all they survey. Disease and mutations are constant. Nothing stays the same for long. The land destroys and renews itself endlessly and what survives more than a cycle succumbs to decay. Tasty fruits and shining ores are abundant, and most life has a fierce competitive streak. Solitary life is nonexistent. Everything exists in close symbiosis, parasitism, and tight-knit social dynamics.

If nothing changes, this is the future that will come to pass.

>Aspects of the Spark:
>Nameless Knight (0 Ichor) (Ruin, Revolution)
>The Great Ape (0 Ichor) (Gluttony, Apes, Savagery)
>Zerimael (10 Ichor) (Connection)
>Strad-Aniya Rak (0 Ichor) (Plagues, Mutation, Dragons)
>The Nameless Crow (0 Ichor) (Games/Gambling, Rivalry, Change)
>Chi-Ken (0 Ichor) (Greed, Wealth, Luxury)

>>6175650
>MINOR EVENT

The Spark pulses, asking a question of the Gods.

>What shape should it take?

>Round: The reality should be a round sphere. If the bubble is round, it makes sense a reality it contains could be round.
>Flat: The new reality should be a flat plane. The least complicated shape, with almost unrivaled potential for layering.
>Dimensional: The new reality should be its own, separate dimension where nothing else exists to compare its shape to.
>Other: The new reality should follow a different design. There are infinite possibilities, but in the end, only one will be true.

>Does making permanent ability not count domain levelling?
Not directly, no, because it is the God influencing themselves instead of the bubble. It is one of the only things that doesn't.

>Also whats the mechanic for my ability
Once per turn, Scylla & Charybdis can use Mother of all Monsters to spawn a single 5/5 servant (Monsters) at no cost. These servants don't receive creation rolls and must be monstrous to qualify for the Monsters domain, but this is flexible as Scylla & Charybdis more or less define what being monstrous means. Otherwise, there are no restrictions. If the sisters deem it worthwhile, they can even spend one action to "scavenge" one and regain some of its Ichor. Just remember that if servants become too strong compared to their creator, their loyalty can waver.

>I can't just whip out 10/10 divine servants every turn for free can't i
Not yet. The Ichor ratio for abilities to create permanent effects is 2:1, so the resulting monstrous servants would be 5/5.
