Azem floats into the middle of the bazaar.
The trading intensifies and gradually subsides as goods on both sides are depleted. Some Gruen outcasts (outcast because of their higher satiation) agree to join the Mountwyrm trading mission as they return to their home villages for supplies.
Anath too turns his hands to creating livestock, creating giant peaceful lizards that live beneath the surface of the earth, feasting on fungus, moss, and carrion, to serve both as mounts and food sources for his elven followers. These Cave Noxen will be quite useful for any species that lived within the earth.
But deeper beneath the earth Anath crafts another species, the Burrowers Beneath. These great centipede-worms are vast in length, and feast upon rock and soil, carving out tunnels beneath the earth. As the ages go past, and they dig their way through the earth, the tunnels they leave behind will be populated by other creatures... (Anath will also give the Burrowers Beneath one essence's worth of resistance to magic.)
Anath then glances out at the others. "Are we really claiming that the god of randomness could not have something random happen to him? That none of our creations have found chaos to be a factor in their life? Though I am surprised he hasn't taught the Mountwyrms how to gamble yet."
(Anath: -2 Essence)
Anath creates Cave Noxen, a peaceful reptilian denizen of the Shadowdeep*. They function as excellent mounts and food sources for anyone able to find them, and their hides and bones make fine buildings.
(Anath: -3 Essence)
Anath also creates the Burrowers Beneath, a rarely seen centipedal species dwelling far beneath where small humanoids can dig. They know no light and single-mindedly tunnel through the world. In later, more modern ages, they will be studied for details on the formation of the world.
*Still not canon unless
(So much dramatic irony!
