I guide a few of the Ritan to shallower waters/the coast, to show them the sun.
The Ritan follow you and see, for the first time, the photic zone bathed in light. They are so deeply moved at the sight (and the concept of sight itself) that many just stand still, transfixed by the appearance of previously unperceptible* sights. Their brains rapidly work to associate visual shapes with the crude auditory shadows they had previously used as a primary form of perception.
*I know imperceptible is an actual word, but it has more of a connotation of "perceptible but difficult" or something
Azem checks on the progress, if any, of the Mountwyrms and Gem Dragons.
Some Mountwyrms on World 1 are calling out to Varee to grant them all the Eyes of the Shiny One. This business is, frankly enough getting incredibly silly, and they may need a few reminders of what actual greed is. It is also distracting Mountwyrm workers from continuing work on Alprozem's temple of Azem (and his impressively shiny scales).
A prominent Mountwyrm family managing caravans has managed to hire a few Gem Dragons as a cross between beasts of burden and traveling salesmen. They absorb several local competitors but remain relatively unknown outside their region of operation. Having Gem Dragons in air-based and ground-based caravans proves to be a significant advantage because they are closely tied to luck and prosperity in the cultures of many of their customers.
(As a note, I was picturing the Star Elves as living half underground, half above ground. Hard to do star magic without stars. So they live in caves, but the town itself, and most public buildings, are on the surface... just with lots of underground connections and expansions.)
The Star Elves, being skilled miners from so much digging, and having ample metal for the same reason, probably sell fine metalwork of various types, ranging from long sheets of metal with really good starmaps on them to really fancy forks and spoons, as well as other high quality products. The same stands for stone, and while they can't compete with golems for large scale stone structures, their small craftswork is exceedingly fine... and even if they aren't as good builders as golems, they're probably cheaper to hire.
They'd also be willing to sell raw ores.
Anath will also check in one the state of the Star Dragons.
(OK. Perhaps the previously described caravan set up shop on the surface near an elven settlement, in that case.)
The Hummingbirds and Mountwyrms are impressed by the metallic star maps, albeit for different reasons. The Hummingbirds see them as valuable for navigation using the stars, while the Mountwyrms are more interested in predicting good trade days based on the stars. Some Gruen in the trade mission buy bulk quantities of raw ores in exchange for a feast with Gruen cuisine. A Luminee acting troupe attached to the trade mission performs a famous tragedy to much acclaim, and a few Star Elves join the caravan for the specific reason of joining the troupe.
Plan: Just do 03.00 already seems not to have significant opposition. Go!
Create some mortals! Hopefully there wasn't, isn't, and won't be any argument on how much you get to create exactly.
