You flip open the Book, the Book that chronicles all of the events of this world, it changes daily, magically updating itself as each new day brings new discoveries. You don't know where this Book came from, it seems to appear when It wishes too, and vanishes without a trace. On the Book are the letters, GM.

Spoiler: On the Gods (click to show/hide)

The first God is He who goes by KJ1225, sometimes referred to as Kyle Johnson. KJ takes a humanoid form, he is tall and powerfully built, with an aura of supremacy. He is the God who created the Sun, and the very planet that we stand upon, known as Gia.
He is also credited as the father of the Lamian race.
According to Legend, He created the world even while fighting back the terrible Xantalos. He is the God of the Sun and Earth, and the God of the Lamias and Serpents. He is associated with Creation and Speech, and is revered as the one who locked up Xantalos.
He is the patron of Artifacts, and some scholars suggest that he may have infused the Dwarves with the legendary Martial Trance.
Today, it is said that whenever the sun falls upon you, KJ is smiling upon you.

GreatWyrmGold, the God of Dragons, is said to have fought with the Eldritch Devourer Xantalos is single combat with his bare claws, defending KJ as he created the world, and even fought whilst in the Divine Cage that held back the Horror. He created the Dragons, and some say that the Dragon's Coast is where GreatWyrmGold fell to during his battles with Xantalos. He is associated with strength, valor, courage, and wisdom. According to legend, when Xantalos is released from his prison, GreatWyrmGold will feast on the flesh of the Devourer.
Today, it is said that He see through the eyes of every dragon, and he will hunt down down those that do injustice to them.
He is considered to be the Divine Opposition to Xantalos.

Remuthra, the God of Hats, is believed to have created the Moon and the Stars. He is the God of Madness and Insanity.
It is said that while the other Gods fought and worked on the world, He sat in wait. He is credited with the creation of the Dwarves, and is often blamed for the Dwarves' short tempers and tendency towards randomness and insanity.
Remuthra can see through all of the stars, and through the Moon. He is almost Omnipotent, and can see more than any other God.
It is said that those who create hats are doomed to eventually succumb to madness, and those that look up to the moon shall become lunatics, and go insane. The only shelter from the night is to stay indoors, lest the eyes of Remuthra befall you, and his psychotic minions, the boogeymen, find you.
Remuthra is considered as the Divine Opposition to KJ, the Sun God.

The Eldritch Horror, the Devourer of Worlds, the Emperor of the Void. The Master of Nothing goes by many names, mostly consisting of hushed whimpers, and shrieks cut violently short. But the Gods know him as Xantalos. He is the true first God, atop his Void Throne before KJ came and made Creation. He fought with the Gods throughout all History, and still to this day laments in his tomb beneath Gia, entrapped by KJ's powers. Most of the world's oceans were created by Xantalos, when he fell to the planet and struck the ground, sending shockwaves that etched their way through the surface. Xantalos summoned the Void-Spawn at the beginning of time, but they were rendered extinct by GreatWyrmGold. After the battles with the Gods, the Dragons created by GreatWyrmGold feasted on Xantalos, giving them the size they have today. But, Xantalos has a secret...
While the Gods sleep, in order to keep Xantalos locked away, their powers have spread out to cover their domains. KJ, to the Sun, GreatWyrmGold, to the Dragon's Coast, and Remuthra's, to the Moon.
However, Xantalos has been trapped in the core of Gia. Unable to have his power distribute itself, it has grown, and concentrated. He cannot see the surface, and is unaware of the outside world, but unlike the other Gods, his eyes are open. While the other Gods slumber in blissful ignorance, Xantalos plots his revenge, and has already performed the first Godly act since the Age of Gods ended.

I was going to do about 5 times this, such as get to everybody else, but stuff came up, here's what you get for now.

[Xantalos]

GUSTA.
...
Wait, what's the godly act I performed?

[GreatWyrmGold]

I know the tech level thing makes sense gameplaywise, but it still makes no sense. Why would people not advance their tech while at peace? Sure war gets it to go faster, but still.

Part of it is that this is a simulation of medieval times, when innovation was rarer and nobles only funded projects they cared about. Which usually involved going to war.
Part of it is that, at this stage, most of the new technologies come directly from war.
Part of it is that the GM doesn't want to deal with advancing technologies all the time on top of dozens of players' actions.

Remuthra can see through all of the stars, and through the Moon. He is almost Omnipotent, and can see more than any other God.

Do you mean omniscient?

In other news: DUHN DUHN DUUUHN!

[Xantalos]

Or rather of my current avatar, who then created them.

[kj1225]

Remind me to make my first godly act to banish Xantalos.

[Xantalos]

Too late; you already did.

[kj1225]

I trapped you, I didn't in all my godly compassion banish you.

[Xantalos]

Trapped, banished, really the same thing amounting to the same result. Besides, you're sleeping now.

[Scionox]

(1) You tell him the way is to the north, and can't focus on building power. {The bonus only applies to effects to actively improve upon the fort, so charging your power doesn't count}

By that i meant that shadow rolls could be more effective because of 'night'... oh well. By the way i still appear to have +3 charge somehow in stats.

Follow the yellowhaired dwarf and ask a reason why he's headed to Dragon's coast, but if he's too far already, explore the caves.

[Remuthra]

Remuthra can see through all of the stars, and through the Moon. He is almost Omnipotent, and can see more than any other God.

Do you mean omniscient?

Nope, too late. I am now omnipotent.

No you aren't.

[squidgen]

Well, I guess I'll change my action because the mantle snake isn't actualy here yet.

Try and make a legendary dining room. Again.

[Lukeinator]

Changing action due to tech explanation.
Go over to the human kings, and tell them about the evil lamias, and that they should declare war.

SUICIDE HO!
