Turn 1: Humble Beginnings
And so the world was born. A sphere within a sphere, it was a planet in reverse. A great sun lied in the middle, warming the core of the world, allowing life to flourish. Layers of Green and Purple served as the world's borders, limiting the expansion of mortals and those who would seek Divinity. The basic shape made, the gods set about creating the caves, mountains, seas and rivers of the world.
When the gods were pleased with their work they created creatures to inhabit.
First amongst them were the Wallowings. Born from the Mud of a Child-Deity's play, the Wallowings were plants given mobility and intelligence. They knew the Creators of the world, for they had witnessed them at their birth and would forever sing their song in worship. Pious creatures, they lived and bred quickly, returning to the Mud they were birthed just as they had left it's confines. Unknown to the Wallowings, they had also been given the task of populating the world with plantlife, a task which would be completed through a great number of Wallow-Children that would never have a mind as great as their parents.
Second to be born were the Caretakers, creatures of Stone and gifted in the ways of technology. Intrinsically they knew of how the world could be shaped to better their kind and to follow the ways of the Gods. Whereas the Wallowings were short-lived and bred in great numbers, the Caretakers lived long lives and reproduced rarely. Though few in number, the Caretakers knew their purpose well. They would protect the Wallowings as the gods had tasked, whether they could understand the aegis that watched over them or not.
Third to be created were the Minds; crystals made living. Where the Wallowings had been tasked to worship and populate, the Caretakers to guide and lead, the Minds were made simply to remember. They were a sedentary race, of great gems living within the caverns below the surface. They kept to the dark, growing their Bodies so that they could accomplish their singular task.
And so, the mortals played their parts in Creation, as the Gods had ordained. The Wallow-Children, those creatures who could not think or move, diversified into the many Plants of the world. They covered all that they could, creating vast forests and jungles throughout the surface. The Wallowings who retained their intelligence spread as far as their non-sapient cousins, led on by their ever watchful guardians. Though the Wallowings were a race of great intelligence, the Caretakers ensured that they were slowly introduced to the divine knowledge imparted to them, lest they lead themselves to extinction.. In time, these Caretakers would have many ideas on how to perform their role. Some would lead the Wallowing tribes directly, others advised. Some stayed away from the tribe, only interfering when necessary while others stayed in the shadows, ensuring their charges never knew they had a protector.
Other tribes did not have the aegis of the Caretakers. Either because the Caretakers had not encountered their tribe or because the tribe had driven off their assigned master. Whatever the case, the Caretakers soon termed such tribes Feral Wallowings, children who did not appreciate the guidance of their long-lived elders.
Deep beneath the earth, the Minds grew. Unimpeded by the primitive tribes on the surface, they expanded into every nook and cranny they could, creating the Crystalline to act as their scouts. Great caverns were soon covered in living crystal, always growing so that Creation would be Remembered. Eventually, a few Minds decided to grow upwards, and see what lied above.
It was these stubby, simply made crystal spires that the Wallowing tribes first discovered. Some saw them as being like the divine, others saw them as pretty objects for decoration. Those who tried to take a few pieces for their own use soon found themselves attacked by crystal monsters, deterring most from the spires for now.
While the world danced to the gods' tune, the Aegis was empowered for threats that would come in time.
