https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMN6CuB6R1c what happens, more or less. Disregard the orcs and such. You're the guy at 0:43 with the horns. Orobos is the one that kills the priest with a hammer.) And it was. You even instructed Orobos to tone it down; if you won too easily, how would it be fun? Imagine when you can fight one of the gods with their army, and at full strength...those battles would be so wonderful! Some of the humans even welcome you, hungry for the power you displayed in your victory.

Cupiditas: You can't seem to make them reproduce anything other than the other gender(no reproducing imps! >:C)'s species, but those they give birth to, or fertilize, do have some markedly different characteristics...they tend to have a stronger sex drive, darker or redder skin, be more beautiful than other members of their race, and are often sadistic. A few posses horns or tail, and they live a little longer than other members of their race, never aging out of their natural beauty. Your imps are still quite powerful though...and their spawn will love to come to your cult...once they grow up.

Javier: You glare at your hands as the magic fizzles and sputters. How annoying, you don't seem to be powerful enough yet to accomplish everything you set out to. At least you made an Imp and the Chaos Carriers. The other imp simply wouldn't form though. And now you probably don't have enough for anything else. In point of fact...you're...rather...tired...

Kazar: (They are not considered followers. And I don't really wanna bother with a pop. counter...suffice it to say you have a lot. A couple decades raising the dead?) You rest and relax as Tiall continues to raise the dead; fewer zombies now, and far more skeletons, as the plagues dissipate and the world begins to grow. Gastarik grows impatient though, and drifts away to try and amass a small gathering of his own; nothing that would harm you, he's just a bit bored.

Alrezar: Your talks held some good; the nymph's name is Cecilla, similar to a Naiad, but of water and cold. She doesn't think that impressing these 'barbarians' is all that hard, so you'll have to do something else in order to impress her...Delmas agrees to go with the raiders, who are glad for his strength, though they worry for their boats.

Usael: An angel tries to rip one of your arms off! Good thing you fortified yourself. You punch him rather hard magically speaking, and you goes flying. And flying. And flying...The Hall of justice is wonderfully built(see Draco's), and you go out to look for fae followers, even as your human ones thrive. You find some, and a centaur lord speaks with you, but you'll have to find some incitement for him to pledge his loyalty to you.

Celestia: You are no longer certain whether informing them was a good idea...though the city is good, some do not like the change, even for the better, and some leave to worship other gods. Disappointing, to be sure, but it is not your decision. Besides, the city is growing quickly, which should help offset that. The wyverns and the humans alike do not like or agree with your description, and being unsociable at best, several grow rather annoyed at your cuddling and condescending attitude. Others agree to help with large building, though, which should help, but they do not want straw for their nests. They want...gold? It seems they used hoards of soft metals to make nexts, being weak enough to bend to their shape, but strong enough to provide support. And they seem to eat some too, though it is shed. It forms their belly scales apparently...Strange. Ceramic and bricks being quite new, the citizens are wary of it, but upon finding how insulating it is, happily agree. And some have taken upon themselves to try and start building a cathedral to you! It could take a while, as they debate about how to make the sun reflect into it at what times.

Draco: Hafri seems to be getting worse. A lot worse. The Eladrin met up and split into three groups of two, leaving Hafri near Tylea to try and rest. The miracles you grant are a little things, but there's a lot of them. Usael's temple is built, and dubbed the Hall of Justice. The Fae Lord imbues it to prevent lies and intentional misconceptions within it's boundaries, though like all contracts, there are loopholes. Blessed by you and consecrated, it compels all who see it to act more kindly and just. The altar, a majestic thing with a book of laws attached so the covers would be the stone itself, flips and turns at the behest of the Judge-Priest there. It seems an organized religion is starting to form around you. Wonderful.

Jebyg: This'll be expensive, you can tell. You focus on the dwarves first, and they know of smithing and armoring weapons and the tools to forge them. You couldn't figure out how to tell them to mine it, other than general ideas, though. They revere magma, and some have already made a pool in your image, industrious little bastards..The Chaos creatures also seem to be dying off in droves, though not all, for it's hard to kill something like them. Some of the dwarves don't worship you though. Annoying. Something about not needing you to survive, blasphemous little bastards. The afterlife realm simply couldn't be done though...you tried, but you couldn't. You stopped before you used up all of your power. Oh, and Meri was killed by Batar. Now it's just a question of whether Batar or Carolus will win...

Nikalas: Your followers obey, though not without reluctance. But they did, in the end, go, picking up some more coverts along the way. Few heroes were worthy, but, then, there were still a few. Really, it was quite uneventful for you, this decade.

Protogenos: Unlike many gods, you actually listen to your prophet, and ask for his advice; you made his race intelligent for a reason. It seems the wyvernslayers have been gaining support, and claiming, at least, that the wyverns are ravenous, devouring beasts that kill the human's livestock, sometimes for nothing, and will kill people and raze villages as likely as ask your name. While it's true they need to eat a lot, they never waste...so that's got to be an exaggeration...hopefully. (32, actually, sorry) There are now a few hundred of the killers, and they seem to know not only exactly where the species is, but how to find, kill, or hide from them. Well equipped...so strange.
