Aye, but there's generally a better reason than 'They're my race'. On a city level, some amount is tolerable. On a god level, less so, as it holds the power to wipe things out both far too easily and boringly.

Not necessarily. Sure it's not "that's my race" but several time in history there have been wars over "their race is inferior and should be exterminated".

Or more commonly "You have things we want, so you must die".

My point being that neither of these is the case here.

Not as much as you might think. I can't think of a single example that wasn't more motivated by "these people have gold" or "these heathens are heathens" or something than "these people are inferior". In fact, aside from the black/white dynamics, I can't think of a time when people really acted on any feelings of superiority, or had them.

Besides, the action in question is a god striking down the personification of a magical storm. I'd say that's a lot less inferior than every creature in the world.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

There's "You're inferior now, but we want to keep you that way", though.

Ok, I'm gonma say i've lost interest in this a bit. It's running too slowly to stick in my head, so I really don't feel up to GMing any more. If someone else wants to have a stab at GMing, feel free - or with this you could even carry on without one. Regardless, I'll leave it up to you guys.

I'l try taking over GM'ing this, if noone minds, since the only thing to really do is calculate the power gains.
