And Robogoshi caused the great south-flowing river to freeze, and become a vast river of ice, sweeping all before it, bringing cold to the burning south and splitting the continent in twain.

Sakitan was fascinated by the germination of life and traveled to the young world to observe the evolving creatures there.

CHARIOT pondered the entity's words. They seemed out of place coming from such a being, and the terms used struck it as familiar. It would have to collect more data. For now, simply replying to it would be enough.

'We were not aware of this broadcast. We will repair the damage and leave at once.'

It was aware of another presence, as well - the one calling itself Empathica. The name sounded suspiciously similar to a words in ancient human languages, but CHARIOT dismissed this as mere coincidence.

'This consciousness greets you. We will avoid conflict, as you suggest. Please state identity/nature. We are interested in your form.'


CHARIOT hides the crater away by welding metal plates over it and pulls the battered sphere back into orbit.

Empathica turned her alien gaze to CHARIOT.

"I'm glad you chose peace, Iron One. Beauty and Life...it can be very fragile. I would risk no harm to these fledgling worlds.

Introductions.

I call myself Empathica-one born of all strong emotion...sadness, fury and compassion.

I am the herald of the ever changing world-and the hearts and mind, which will shape it. While I am not arrogant enough to claim myself as life itself, the emotions I seed in our creations will make their lives bearable, no matter how short or long.

You are strange to me though, Iron One.

As the first woman will, and has ever said to the first man...do you feel what I feel?

Does looking upon your works fill you with pride? Joy? Love?"


Empathica turned her head to one side in curiosity, golden hair cascading.

'We are not alien to those emotions. We are the collective consciousness of the race of man. While we acknowledge the harmful qualities of each emotion, we have chosen not to forsake them.'

CHARIOT paused. Something in this creature irked it. It was... too familiar, in appearance and otherwise. Something to address at a later date.

'Approve of stated task. Emotions imperative in creating rounded, varied consciousness. We, in turn, have come to guide life towards a singularity such as the one that gave birth to us. Proposing pact of non-aggression/close cooperation.'

A new Daemon appears, his body and face as blank and smooth as the universe before it formed.  He awaits purpose. He awaits meaning. 
His name he knows and it is Wadæn.

Empathia nodded, already dropping back into her reverie...

"Your terms are accepted, Iron One.

So goes your quest to reach an apotheosis of technology, as mine will be to fashion the apex of the spirit. Together, our creations will be glorious.

I shall be the soul, you the mind...and the world, our body...ever and anonce, does the march of life progress."

I'm not gonna bother repeating your dialogue in the turn text, I'll just summarize what happened. Just assume everything you say is "canon". And to be clear, the Deity players can attempt to destroy the Daemons if they want to, but they can't affect anything in the Daemons' alternate planes of existence.

AGE III

(...) Empathica once again attempted to bring compassion to the world, and once again failed horribly. Critics of the Empathican sect would often point out this Age of Failure in jest. She would not live it down for millenia.

Up on the Moon of Derm, its owner confronted CHARIOT about its crash-landing. CHARIOT agreed to repair the damage and return once more to the heavens. (...) After repairing the top of the crater, CHARIOT shot off with incredible speed toward [UNNAMED PLANET] while Derm spread the seeds of future life. (...) A thick, wild jungle sprang up on every inch of the planetoid, spreading with alarming speed and obscuring the surface with its canopy. All at once the Moon of Derm became a vast, unforgiving thicket of plant life, broken only by two large bodies of water and the metal plateau atop CHARIOT's crater.

Arshorath lamented the technical failure of His previous action, and vowed to clearly articulate His wishes in the future so that the cosmos may properly understand His will. (...) He appealed the growth of the life in the western sea to increase, and so it did. Multicellular life formed, and the first amphibious reptiles slunk from the western sea! No sooner had the reptiles appeared than CHARIOT fell from the sky, slamming into the southwest peninsula and destroying it utterly! The population of primitive reptiles was utterly obliterated and CHARIOT drifted out into the dark void, far from the terrestrial plane.

Robogoshi saw the scalding southern wasteland, and sought to bring His cold wind to the scorched lands. (...) A great cold swept through the mountain passage, freezing the south-flowing river and spreading frost across the wasteland. The river stood for a cosmic moment then burst apart with incredible force, shivering the southern landmass in twain! The mass of rock fell into the abyss, leaving emptiness in its place. The eastern sea began to drain into the abyss below!


Tyrion looked upon his empty realm, and sought to bring form to it. (...) And so the Realm of Nightmares was born. It began as an endless dark forest, a place for the souls of the lost to wander. And then the earth split in two, and a labyrinth of twisting, impossible passages of stone rose from the ground. Flames bellowed from the endless mass of scorched rock, but the impenetrable darkness remained. None would escape this place, for space of mortal comprehension meant nothing here.

Tyreal saw this, and forged a realm of his own. (...) It was sanctuary, and it would be a place of safety for the souls of the righteous. It awaited a form. Tyreal looked once more on the land of the living, and saw life spread. The western sea was full of creatures of every kind, but they had not made the leap to land without catastrophe. Sakitan and Wadæn observed the devastation of the gods from the mortal plane, and were frightened by their hatred for all life.

~Empathican Canticle, 1st Verse, Third Line~

"Lo I see nothing. But...dead waters, and the bitter wind blowing."

Nothing beside remained. The Goddess was silent.

But, life goes on...and in the third age, Empathica yet endured, weaving subtle strands of magic where she could...

Sakitan spreads his hatred and himself through life, causing life to feel the need to despise life and to strike itself down.

((@Robogoshi: You just cut my wastelands in half...Reparation please.))

Arshorath saw part of Ar'sachs destroyed. He was not pleased, working once more upon expanding its territory as it used to be and creating a deep chasm to be used as a Nexus of connection between all the creations of the different Gods.

CHARIOT pondered its continuing miscalculations. It was not surprising this form was taking some getting used to, but avoiding conflict would become impossible if it continued at this rate of destruction. Drifting sulking back towards the sun, CHARIOT began fashioning its next creation. If direct action was so disastrous, it might be useful to have an intermediary. The posthuman intelligence set to work above the seas of the Disc World it had seeded with life. Injecting life into the great mechanical serpent that was forming in its grasp, it gently set the creature down underneath the waves.

CHARIOT creates the Shaper, a synthetic construct that guides and speeds up evolution to sapience in the seas of the Disc World

"Right, too much forest, I think.  A mountain range or two would do nicely, wait, make this one a volcano leading to the core, which leads to this area being mostly desert, but alright... make some of the forests flatland and such... metal ores and such fall where they may... a river or thousand here and there, add in some lakes... Ice caps need freezing... Metal plateau can stay, looks neat. Guess that chariot thing isn't as much a jerk as I thought. Welp, better get started."

((Robogoshi doesn't cut, Robogoshi just watches cutting occur.))


Robogoshi howled with displeasure as hint of Arshorath's nonsensical deal-seeking came on the wind. With the force of a vast earthquake, the unisexual god Robogoshi cast the southern wastelands sideways into the abyss from whence in return shot range after range of majestic and frozen mountains!
