[Ambidextrous]

Kli moves his vision over the silver hummingbirds nesting on the Trees of Balance.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Azem: The elder gives you the lump of gold and thanks you greatly. It appears that the elder and most of the village want to create a shrine to you that outsiders may come and look at the fragment of Azem in exchange for a generous offering.

Kli: The silver hummingbirds do not appear to be doing much at the moment, but there appear to be a few more dead raptors  and felines than normal at the base of the tree. They do not seem to notice your vision-without-presence. They are quite a devoted people.

[Vgray]

Azem considers his newly acquired lump of gold and shapes it into a stack of coins.

[Detoxicated]

The Light steps forward.
"I want to create an infamous weapon. This sword of hard iron is adorned with rubies, sapphires, and diamonds. Its handle is insigned with the signature of the weapon god. Its blade is very sharp and emits a glorious bright light.

See this as a form of diplomacy after our initial trouble. If you are interested to add to the weapon, as you are well versed in the ways of weaponsmithing, just do so."

[Ambidextrous]

Kli allows himself to observe them for the next few hours, not yet making his move.
Instead of acting on his impatience, he decides to cast several votes.

03.11.1: Support
04.03: Abstain
05.00: Abstain

[Kilojoule Proton]

Azem: The other Mountwyrms look upon the stack of coins and begin requesting trades with you again. With your godly senses, you can immediately tell that a bunch of the supposedly sentimentally valuable items were actually the cheapest things they could find lying around. Many of them want eternal youth and a sizable portion want another chunk of your body.

(The Light: Human-sized sword of that description: Low 3-4 (High 1-2), human-usable sword of that description: Low 2-3 (Low 1-2))

Kli: A random eagle flies above the World 2 Tree of Balance. A massive flock of giant silver hummingbirds flies out and flies back and there is no sign of the eagle in the air or on top of the tree.

(Votes counted for half-tick update)

[Vgray]

Azem chuckles slightly and vanishes again, content to invisibly watch his creations.

[Ambidextrous]

Kli raises an eyebrow at the sight.
He then analyzes the areas surrounding the Trees of Balance to see if the balance of nature is being kept, as well as to familiarize himself with the geography.

[Kilojoule Proton]

It appears that various rodents and small creatures have been proliferating in the vicinity of the Tree of Balance. The Tree of Balance itself is located in a vast subtropical forest with a flower-filled clearing nearby.

[Happerry]

(Anath: What's the relationship between Star Elves and Night Elves?)

(Mainly the part where I've been using the names interchangeably.)

[Kilojoule Proton]

Anath: The Night Elves appear to be doing quite well underground, although many of them would not mind living on the surface simply to see the stars of their creator. Almost no one knows of their existence at the moment, because they tend not to go on long surface visits. They still worship you a lot.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Tick 06.5: Gods and gossip

Much creation happened this turn, with Anath's Star Dragons, The Light's glowing mushrooms for the Shadowdeep*, and Azem's Gem Dragons. Even the mortals seemed to become more creative. One village of Mountainwyrms completed a wall of folklore, introducing the first independent invention of writing. A coastal Luminee village decided to begin producing plays, the first transcribed of which was a horror tragedy named Crab-fall recounting myths about creatures with too many angles and a Luminee who traded away his "inner light" to be with a Star Elf and ended up losing her to a mad zealot.

Many gods also interacted or observed their creations closely, definitely strengthening the core of their Worship and also providing entertainment for the other gods. Kli, while checking on his Hummingbirds of Balance, noticed an abundance of raptor and feline corpses around the base of their Tree. His solution to the problem is not yet known. Azem, god of greed, famously sold a piece of his godly manifestation, a gold coin, to a Mountwyrm village elder. Rumors say that if you can find a Mountwyrm city with a circular shrine covered in shiny objects, you can find a 1/8 piece of Azem inside the temple. But not before putting plenty of shinies on the sides of the shrine.

In addition, it appears that a scandal has erupted in which Fusil exposed the fact that Serac acquired an improbable amount of Essence within a tick. Rumors circulate of deals made with shadowy Void Things from beyond the Great Film. While the speculation has died down, it is clear that there is much suspicion about the motives of the recently-ungarbled speech of the Void Nulls. How much less benevolent are they than how they portray themselves?

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you. They can effect changes in the game's core rules (mechanics), administrative laws (voting requirements, seniority privilegs, &c.) or the natural rules (light does not exist, gravity is repulsive, giant animals can fly like birds, &c.).
Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Please remember to bold or underline support or opposition.

New players are still welcome. While many important details have already been discussed and/or created, there is still plenty of room for more creation.

Current sphere ideas are Rulership, Fire, Evil, and Travel.

Artisanii looks onto the world, studying the Wall of Folklore and the first Play. "Interesting. These works do deserve to go into the Library." Artisanii blesses them from afar, adding her Symbol from afar onto both work's; At the end of the Wall, and symbolically onto the Play, and brings copies of them into the library.

Khaziraad looks upon his creations, judging their progress.
