Tick 17.4: Angry Alphabet and And and Affability and Ands
Serac has created a pocket dimension within the Plane of Water and Bubbles with the intention of using it as a prison and has created the crab-shaped Angel of Bubbles Nuparhi with the aid of the powerful Sorae mystics. A hard, sonorous, and glowing metal has recently been discovered by the Sorae.
Fusil has almost attempted to capture a follower of Anath planning to summon Anath in the mistaken belief that Anath is a Void Thing.
Yaos has assigned a sickly child's elder sister as caretaker and ordered that human mages preserve the bodies of their noble parents. This turns out to have been redundant, as the house has had a tradition of embalming and preserving bodies. Additionally, Yaos has reappeared a somewhat zealously arrested Keshan human who coveted a Celestial Coin, almost caused an interimperial incident, created 300 Saeva, and requested a starting sample of Wargs, or human-ridable wolf-derived creatures from Joha.
Azem has rescattered Pieces of Eight not owned by his creatures to places where they are more likely to be found by his own creatures. Here are some recent, notable prayers:
Some Sorae on your treasure island pray for your guidance in their quest for shinies
Golem foreman: "Lord Azem, May We Construct A Temple On Your Island That You May Have A Good Shiny Storehouse? We Will Fill It With Traps Made Of Shiny Metals."
Alprozem, having grown somewhat wiser, has asked for your advice on his rashly issued prohibition of mates for your clergy.
Gem Council Quartz: "Does the Void contain or have shinies, Azem?"
Joha has listened for some prayers and hears these:
"Lady Joha, do you have any recommendations on how to start an Experiment-House of Life (read: laboratory)? We have many great ideas and nowhere to execute them."
A wood elf walks into a bar. "Joha! My head!"
Kifo asks if you would like to play cards with some angels and recently dead mortals.
"By Joh', I wish the wood wern't so thick! Then we'd already be tradin' days ago."
A suspicious little girl asks for a pony but with a tentacle mouth.
Joha has also created glowing sky jellyfish that build impressive structures unaffected by gravity out of cloudstuff*.
Some of Fusil's Armu have joined a Mountwyrm caravan and made contact with the Gruen. Much trading ensues, as many Gruen are curious about the potential transformations resulting from consuming the exotic ores. Fusil has also recently propagated the Armu to around 3 million individuals, making them a significant power.
Yaos and Joha have attempted to resurrect the dead nobles, but this seems to have met with failure despite their efforts. Perhaps if they would like to consume an exorbitant amount of Essence, fate could be persuaded to allow this resurrection to proceed. The grandfather has already cycled back to Keshan after dying as an infant and is currently in a poor area in a human town and was, in any case, dead from an alcohol-related incident long before the children's father died.
(Actually, resurrections would probably be spotty under the best of conditions under the current system. Most mortals probably just flip worlds quickly and the resurrection would be equivalent to killing their otherworldselves. If you skimmed off enough mortals for your afterlife that the chance of a particular mortal soul being in your plane approached or exceeded 5% or so, the living, Worship-capable segment of your race would decrease.)
Azem has filled a recently discovered, gold-rich island with golden apple ents with healing sap and deadly giant golden silk orb weavers. The island holds vast wealth beyond most adventurers' wildest imaginations as well as vast danger in the form of its guardians. Yaos has inspired some non-humans to visit the island. Most return within a week. Azem has also opened up the island for other gods to make more dangerous.
The Hummingbirds have recently been inhabiting a ring of trees around the Tree of Balance to watch for the movements of troops through their forest. At the School, currently frequently debated topics include the role of imbalance in driving change and whether to open the School up to more than debates and some teaching.
Anath has created the Nightguard order consisting of faithful, priestly warriors to defend his creations. He also checks on the mortal who wanted to summon him. It turns out that the "summoning spell" was a recipe for jelly rolls written in a phoneme substitution cipher and that the main reason for why he paid so much to a shady magic merchant to summon Anath was because he wanted nights to be an hour longer every day of the year.
Yaos has answered some prayers! A request to be as tall as a mountain has been ignored, a plea for healing for the little brother of the not-heiress (by divine mandate) has been postponed, a group of cheating children playing Battlemallet: Void Decay have been ignored, an Inquisitor's gratitude has been acknowledged, and a little child's request for doll Pymalionification has been ignored despite the minor pun potential in granting pumpkinification instead. The Duondio seems not to have done much. In the absence of any real work or missions, he seems to be working as a farm hand in a random human village, training Moisten Surface (water) during drier periods, Linear Distribute Granular Objects (air) when planting, Small Localized Vortex when winnowing, and Even Heat Ellipsoidal Object (fire) when baking bread. This will likely have some influence on the abilities he acquires in the future.
The Armu have made contact with the humans, giving vast amounts of gifts to them. All this charity is starting to cause some inflation.
(The price of granting sapience to Wargs will be around High 1-2 but will be easily resisted)
Artisanii has charged some Muses with guarding the Library in general and the room containing Forbidden Books specifically and requests reports on who is taking the books (easy) or using the Library for nefarious purposes (not so easy). Some Muses accost the gods in the Forbidden Book room after noting that a few of the gods failed to return their books to their proper locations or failed to return them completely.
