"The Shadow Realm: basically a dungeon for evil souls. They stay there for a while before being automatically released. Just like a corporeal dungeon. There are no torture devices or anything like that, no diseases, and no abusive jailors or fellow inmates. In many ways it's actually better than a real dungeon."

"There is no point in punishing the dead. I will release the souls immediately. The souls in your "paradise" as well. They will return to the perfect reincarnation system, perhaps choosing to worship gods who are wiser with their followers immortal souls."

"The Inquisition: An Empire-run organisation dedicated to the discovery and destruction of Void cults. Lately, it has helped with more civic duties such as regular police work and evacuations. If the Inquistion was named anything else I don't believe the gods would be as angry with it as they are now."

"Or if they didn't execute people for going near a mill, baking an odd pie, or for a bunch of secret reasons that I know but you didn't share. As it is said, an incompetent ally can be more damaging then an enemy."

"The Empire: originally founded by the Angel-Emperor of Mankind. It is a secular territory ruled first by the Emperor, and then by the Controller Angels and myself. As a sapient being, I have as much a right to rule ANY secular sovereignty as anyone else, and to deny me that right is narrow-minded, demeaning, and possibly racist, depending on whether you view angels as slaves or not."

"Secular means not ruled by the Gods. As you theoretically take orders directly from your god, this would mean that it is in no way secular. Control should be given over to a human, to govern humans."

"Any attacks against the Empire will be met with appropriate force."

"And yet again, a puny Angel attempts to threaten me. There is nothing stopping me from killing you, save the God of Greed's good will."

A sub-council of ordinary Humans is elected by the populace to represent the common people of the Empire. They will assist the Council of Angels and Emperor Vaal in the running of the Empire.

"Step out of the Plane of Greed, and I might just have you killed for your insults. Can you rule from inside there? I doubt it."

Yaos is right about the Strange Knife and the Give Fusil's stuff back proposal. That was not a mistake.

"I thought it would be enough excuse for me to have a valid claim over it. In reality, I want to examine it. I don't know who really made it, where it came from, or why. I do not remember anything about it in the book I read on Void weaponry. It is interesting, and it is a weapon, so I claim it."

@Yaos Angels
You want to discuss the deal in public or private? I already have several possible pact options in mind.

[Rolepgeek]

Excellent; if everyone is ready?

Let's begin.

*PSHEW MAGIC NOISES PSHEW*

[Vgray]

"Not at the moment. You could join the Shiny Ones in their endless games. Just don't let them bother the souls."

[Andres]

"Secular means not ruled by the Gods. As you theoretically take orders directly from your god, this would mean that it is in no way secular. Control should be given over to a human, to govern humans."

"Our god is dead so we don't have to take orders from anyone (that's not an insult, btw). Even if she wasn't, it would still be secular. Kings, emperors, and other sovereignties choose to be commanded and ordered by gods all the time."
"On your final point, I would first like to say that Humans must be spelt with a capital 'H'. To spell their names without the capital is considered racist as every other sapient race is spelled with a capital, leading to the implication that Humans are inferior and not worthy of the capital 'H'."
"Less trivially, us angels are merely a branch of Humans, just as your angels - or at least Tykki - are literally weapons. Please don't say or imply that we angels are somehow less than Humans simply because we serve Yaos directly."

"I thought it would be enough excuse for me to have a valid claim over it. In reality, I want to examine it. I don't know who really made it, where it came from, or why. I do not remember anything about it in the book I read on Void weaponry. It is interesting, and it is a weapon, so I claim it."

"Just because your sphere is Weapons does not mean all weapons belong to you. Just because Yaos' sphere is Humans doesn't mean that all Humans belong to her."


The Inquisition
The Inquisition is disbanded.

The Empire Void Annihilation Corps (EVAC) is founded - a group dedicated to the discovery and eradication of Void cults. It uses several mundane and supernatural techniques to undertake its missions. Aside from its mission against the Void, it helps maintain the peace during inactivity, as well as finding and bringing down mortal criminal organisations like slaver gangs or extortion rackets.

@Yaos Angels

Private.

[Andres]

"Any attacks against the Empire will be met with appropriate force."

"And yet again, a puny Angel attempts to threaten me. There is nothing stopping me from killing you, save the God of Greed's good will."

"It wasn't a threat. As ruler of a sovereignty, I was just affirming the right of my sovereignty to exist. It is a common thing for both new and old sovereigns to occasionally publicly affirm their sovereignty's existence and independence by claiming that attacks, annexations, or conquests attempted against said sovereignty would be met with force. I apologise for making it sound like I was threatening you. I was simply going through the motions." ((It's why I made sure to put some space in between the declaration and my response to you.))
((I could have sworn I'd already written something like this. I guess it was just lost in an edit.))

Less trivially, us angels are merely a branch of Humans, just as your angels - or at least Tykki - are literally weapons. Please don't say or imply that we angels are somehow less than Humans simply because we serve Yaos directly.

My angels are not literally oceans...

And great, you name changed the inquisition. The problem was not the name, it was the methods. The whole (IIRC) "A store made a muffin oddly, so you blew it up and executed everyone who went there" thing.

[Stirk]

"Our god is dead so we don't have to take orders from anyone (that's not an insult, btw). Even if she wasn't, it would still be secular. Kings, emperors, and other sovereignties choose to be commanded and ordered by gods all the time."

"But they are not secular. If you follow the law of a Church, such as one given directly by an Angel, you are not a secular empire. Continue to argue this point, and I will take it over myself. It is not like Yaos had any true claim to govern the humans in the first place."

"On your final point, I would first like to say that Humans must be spelt with a capital 'H'. To spell their names without the capital is considered racist as every other sapient race is spelled with a capital, leading to the implication that Humans are inferior and not worthy of the capital 'H'."

"Tykki, feel free to kill him if you see him. Correcting me on how I spell humans is not something a lowly worm like yourself can hope to accomplish without retaliation."

"Less trivially, us angels are merely a branch of Humans, just as your angels - or at least Tykki - are literally weapons. Please don't say or imply that we angels are somehow less than Humans simply because we serve Yaos directly."

"They are literally weapons because they are a bunch of guns and pointy things glued together. I am not suggesting you are less than humans (How in Fusil's name can you tell if I speak something with a capitol letter, anyway?). I am suggesting that you are servants of a dead god, thus not secular in any way."

"Just because your sphere is Weapons does not mean all weapons belong to you. Just because Yaos' sphere is Humans doesn't mean that all Humans belong to her."

"Yaos's sphere is Coasts, last I checked. The weapon was found with my Angels, when my corpse was searched, or other event related to my death. I claim it, as the God of Weapons I will at least have the best chance of finding out what it does. You cannot stop me, puny Angel."

"You just changed the name. I am having it replaced with a standard guard."

[Vgray]

The Shiny Ones try to give the angels of Yaos a makeover.

"Pick a gem folks, we need a color to work with."

"You have to look your shiniest in this plane."

[Andres]

(GOD DAMN IT! I asked for you to wait just a LITTLE BIT while I wrote something up but NOPE! Gotta get ninja'd TWICE THREE TIMES!)

"I know they're not oceans. I was speaking of Fusil's angels specifically."

"(How in Fusil's name can you tell if I speak something with a capitol letter, anyway?)"

"Kaiju radiation A wizard did it A god did it."

EVAC
I will explain the differences between the Inquisition and EVAC shortly. It is MUCH more than a simple name change.

[Andres]

And great, you name changed the inquisition. The problem was not the name, it was the methods. The whole (IIRC) "A store made a muffin oddly, so you blew it up and executed everyone who went there" thing.

Lette: "In our defence, the Inquisition was new and Yaos didn't know how to properly handle the GM's Literal Genie fetish SUCH A NEW AND SPECIAL ORGANISATION, OF COURSE! But no one was executed. Only the pastry itself was destroyed (it was giving off Void radiation, by the way), the family was taken for interrogation, and then they were released."

"Pick a gem folks, we need a color to work with."

"You have to look your shiniest in this plane."

"Black, please."
"White."

EVAC
EVAC works differently to the Inquisition. Standard operation has them either training or doing regular police work. They pay informants to keep track of any Void cults within the Empire. If they get too big or are too dangerous, EVAC will move in, shut down the cult, and imprison its leaders or more dangerous members. If they committed Heresy (see 'Yaos: God of Humans'), then they are executed. The rest must promise not to go into Void worship again or else be imprisoned for a short time if it's proven without doubt that they did. The length of imprisonment increases the more they are caught but are never executed unless they commit Heresy.

"Are those acceptable standard operating procedures? If not, then what procedures should EVAC have? We can't simply NOT have a group dedicated to Void eradication. That would only allow the Void to increase its grip on our Bubble."

[Vgray]

The Shiny Ones make jewelry and new clothes for Lette and Vaal.

[gman8181]

Vaal and Lette are under my protection for 1 tick while they work at paying me as per our private pact. Any hostilities to them are considered hostilities towards me for the duration of this 1 tick. The protection is void should Vaal and Lette be the aggressors during this 1 tick period of protection.

Edit:

Change of heart. 2 ticks of protection assuming Yaos continues to uphold his installment payments.

As a sapient being, I have as much a right to rule ANY secular sovereignty as anyone else, and to deny me that right is narrow-minded, demeaning, and possibly racist, depending on whether you view angels as slaves or not."

Also, I get the feeling that you don't actually know what racist, or secular, means...

[Andres]

"Secular: separate from religion. Racist: the idea that one race is superior to another."
"The Empire is not governed by religion - it is governed by sapient beings, just like all other sovereignties and adherence to any religion is neither mandatory, enforced, or at all necessary within any branch of government. Even the head or heads of state do not need to adhere to any religion."
"I made the claim of racism because people seem to think that us angels are defined by religion and we are treated as such, rather than being accepted and treated as any other sapient being. Even you, Darruth - god of Good, seem to think that simply because we were made by and served a god that we do not have rights to independence and free will. From what I can tell, you're saying that all rulers must disavow themselves of religion and gods to be considered secular rulers, thus preventing full religious freedom."
