Tick 21:
Grauel has decided to purchase an early model of the recently invented automated jelly roll maker from Yaos. It seems strange that Grauel did not just buy it directly from the inventor, but this will probably encourage Yaos to invest more in inspiring mortals. It seems that the reason for why Grauel bought the device is that the Devourer loves jelly rolls. Yaos has acquired the plans for the particular model invented and has given it to the Slythan humans in an attempt to provide them with some means of gaining economic control. Unfortunately for them, patents do not exist.
Jeffrey advises that Yaos be less protective of the humans for the cause of increasing their independence and decreasing the amount of petty prayers. The GodManager notes that he has complete but unexercised control over Jeffrey and may choose to end this useful little advice feature at any moment.
Yaos has attempted to divine the location of the Breaker Knights.
(Challenge successful. They broke at the very most a flamethrower or two. Again, the Literal Genie problem applies almost exclusively to regular things and not this.)
The many people who attempted insurance fraud are now mourning and praying that you restore their houses. Your wiser followers are extremely irritated by their insolence and some of them are praying for you to punish them by scattering the food and furniture even more.
A hot human explorer has gathered a party with Luminee, Dwarves, and Gruen to travel to the mythic Northern Lands. They begin their journey at the Tree.
The adventurous human has begun cultivating earth-apples. They are delicious and useful for many things.
The Dwarves have encountered gigantic vermicious creatures while digging in their mines. The creatures seem not to notice the Dwarves at all as they continue wandering and consuming tonnes of rock. Their tunnels seem to be relatively safe despite their size, and the highest-ranked miners suspect that the creatures somehow release compressed, reinforced rock back into the tunnel walls, thus stabilizing them despite the immense pressures at the depths at which they occur.
The human requesting the definition of "eldritch" seems somewhat satisfied but seems to want to see a demonstration of something that can be described as eldritch.
The brash, Apotheosozetic* Breaker Knight has been struck down!(The constellations have (so far) been chosen at random because we don't actually know how long each tick lasts. Any requests for changes should be sent to Anath, Mage of Shadow.)
Yaos and Joha have created Lette and Vaal, two enhanced fusable angels on Keshan. The humans now have festivals to Varee and Joha, but the festival to Joha is currently undescribed while the festival to Varee is spreading everywhere and everywhen.
Serac has initiated an upgrade of Nuparhi, granting it the ability to sense concentrations of Void energy. The upgrade for granting it luck-based invulnerability is expensive, and confirmation and a more specific description of the degree of invulnerability will be required.
Grauel has allowed Grue-Hybrid variants to produce spores much like the Gruen and has started a Jelly Roll Festival in the Gruen capital and invited the dispersed Gruen to attend. Grauel has also created four jumper warrior angels of Hunger. Muses present at the Jelly Roll Festival have created exquisite-looking interpretations of the jelly rolls, and Azem has encouraged the Dwarves, Mountwyrms, and Gem Dragons to attend the Festival (which many do).
Cim has joined in the festivities and offered to work as minor security. It has also begun searching for the anonymous current leader of the Breaker Knights. The Cim-derived concealment spells easily dissolve before Cim's efforts, revealing that they currently live under a Luminee town.
Azem has given the Shifty Human wishing for a mountain made of gold a mountain of pyrite. The Shifty Human is not amused. Prayers from non-Mountwyrms addressed to Azem include the following:
Dwarf Underking: "Can you tell the meddling god to stop sending us inane dreams?"
Gruen Merchang: "I wish for you to tell me where I should give money for the greatest effect, positive or negative. Achieving wealth is boring."
Human Merchant: "Should I help fund the war effort when it will severely decrease trade?"
Hummingbird thinker: "What is greed exactly?"
Fusil has created the Shinjo, which are weapon spirits grown through use and care. They may eventually gain the ability to manifest as a member of the best wielder's race if cared for sufficiently.
(I'm inclined to think they will end up being considered mostly weapons, considering their creator.)
This update's dominant constellations are the Shield and Phoenix. The Keshan aurora have dimmed slightly.
(Grauel: -1E, Yaos: +1E, Yaos: -4E, Joha: -5E, Serac: -2E, Grauel: -5E, Azem: -2E, Fusil: -3E)
