This is the Dawning of The Age of...As the metaphorical dust from the
Being of Borders&Edges' momentous actions settles the
presences take note of the new arrangements of the Universe. What was once one is now five and the brewing war between
Chaos and
Order may go cold for now, with both sides so divided. All things in existence have fallen into one of the five
Universe Shards.
Some of the
presences are quick to act in this new age, perhaps because they missed out on the tumultuous events of the end of the Age of Creation.
The thing from beyond the void smiled even as the Thing struck it. Now there were races to empower and taint. It flew between the worlds instilling fear in to even other presences. It went to the largest city and released upon them a plauge of things, terrible things that it has brought with it from beyond the void. From these things grew the fears of each race. doomed to trouble them for all time.
Scare other gods and shit. Go to the largest city of each race and release a pack of monsters that will form their fears.
One of the last
presences to act comes through the end of the Age of Creation in [7] the
Third Shard. Seeking the largest city of each race, it finds only those cities that form part of
Chaotic Madness the Violence of Chaos, the Avatar of the
Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence. It goes to the largest and attempts to release a pack of monsters that will form their fears. It [12] transforms the city onto a new race that the
Horrifying Madness Creatures will instinctively fear.
Race Created: Reassuring Sanity Creatures. 1 kilo☼,
Sphere:Order,
Antithetical Fear Creature: +2 to actions that involve terrifying Horrifying Madness Creatures, -2 to Horrifying Madness Creatures rolls while in the presence of Reassuring Sanity Creatures. There are now only five cities forming the outside of
Chaotic Madness the Violence of Chaos.
Action clarify: Crush all energy into a singular, primordial ball, despite of what it currently is.
One of the few
presences yet to act is finally stirred by the ending of the Age of Creation. Emerging in [11] the
Fifth Shard, it is disgusted by this new order of the Universe. It tries to draw all energy into a singular, primordial ball, no matter what form its in now, just like the good old days. It [8-2(sphere not very opposed)=6] manages to crush all 50 kilo☼ into an infinity small sphere.
Celestial Object Destroyed: Cloud of Hydrogen,
Celestial Object Created: Primal Sphere. This
presence has gained
Sphere:Regression: +1 to returning things to an earlier state, -1 to any actions involving something new.
Observe on whats going on in the lesser races. Have the crystal avatar continuing to repair the wound, and use part of the shard to repair the crystal of life and psion. If the shard is influence by other gods cleanse it of their influence. Resist madness.
The
God of Life emerges in [8] the
Third Shard. It moves to investigate the only living things within the
Shard, the
Horrifying Madness Creatures on the
Planet of Madness and those making up the the
Being of Chaotic Madness and Violence's Avatar. It notice that [7] many of the
Horrifying Madness Creatures are fleeing one point along the
Temporal Prison, giving the whole Avatar a sort of lopsided look. The
Crystal Avatar [8] continues healing, so that no trace of it's previous injury can be discerned. Lastly, the
God of Life [8] splits the
Shard of Life and Psion in half, using half to attempt to restore the
Crystal of Life and Psion to it's former glory. The shard [4+1(working withing spheres)=5] is absorbed, but the
Crystal of Life and Psion still seems to be operating bellow it's full capacity. Lastly, the
God of Life checks the now reduced
Shard of Life and Psion for any influence by the other gods, but finds none.

((Right, that's it for today, 'cos I have a terrible hangover. Probably racial turn tomorrow, and also maybe the next proper turn. Maybe. Feel free to come up with a name for the new age.
For clarity on the whole shards/whats up with the new universal barrier thing, Xantalos' act of trying to contain all
Order and
Chaos with the
Unbreakable Universal Barrier last turn was successful, whereas the "neatly divide Chaos and Order", which I interpreted in the context of "put them in different shards", failed. However, the writhing around of the old
Unbreakable Universal Barrier and encircling of all
Order and
Chaos has basically placed things where they are now. If you want to try and imagine the current universe, imagine five sacks full of water tied together into a big old cluster of string/bulging sacks filled with stuff, except that the string is also the thing that defines the edge of the sack
. Also, some thing like the rift and pocket universe are outside the five shards, kinda.
Oh, and even though I've been placing presences/avatars in random shards with a dice roll if appropriate, the division is mostly relevant to things made of ☼ moving around, although the actual location of presences does have a few effects, like if you randomly draw power from whats nearby.
READTHISREADTHISREADTHISREADTHISYOUREALLYBETTERREADTHISIMSERIOUSLYNOTFUCKINGAROUNDHEREREADTHEDAMNTHINGALREADYFrom the next turn onwards, as mentioned in the OOC thread, everyone will be able to take three actions and oppose or support one other presences action. So it should be something like:
>Make something out of that thing
>Try and change that thing I made
>Go and bring joy to the Horrifying madness creatures
"Quote"
Oppose this action!
Things like:
>same action
>same action
>same action
and
"Quote"
Oppose this action!
"Same Quote"
Oppose this action!
"Same Quote"
Oppose this action!
and other such shenanigans I will frown on
. Feel free to ask any questions in the OOC thread. Finally, if everyone could make sure their actions for next turn have their spoilers updated, that'd be great.
