Price check on roughly van-sized spacefaring armored tentacled things with impressive mental abilities and a hunger for knowledge and power. Yes I realize there's no stars except the one right now.

Why does that remind me of a zerg overlord?



$$$ Pricecheck time!

How much for a centaur like race with six legs, adapted to scale rock faces and high altitude forests?
How much for trees with wood reinforced by iron, able to grow to impressive sizes (taller and wider than redwoods) and only able to grow in iron rich areas? Very large trees can grow so large that the iron in the trunk forms large rods, making the tree effectively reinforced with rebar.

That metal forest sounds totaly like something my god would help out to do.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

I summon an obelisk near the largest Maag settlement. On this obelisk is engraved a log of all that has been said by the gods without any alteration.
Here, my children. This is the truth of what happened before your creation.

I gift them with the knowledge required to create sandstone bricks, allowing them to create permanent settlements. I encourage them to improve the technique or find other uses to it.
((A quick google search tells me you can apparently make them by peeing on sand. wat.))

I also create a specie of tree that can grow on sand and feed exclusively on light and is obviously not sentient. it will have black leaves to allow it to collect the most light possible. I spread 10k of them in the area inhabited by the Maag. I also teach the Maag how to farm them.
It might help if you taught your creations how to read first.
...
Right. I might have forgotten that.


I teach the Maag how to read, speak and write the language that us gods use.
((I can't help but feel that might not be a good idea. In the "it'll explode their brains" sense. But go right ahead! Experimental data is always appreciated! :)) ))
((what's wrong? It's just plain English. Maybe I should clarify that.))
OOC? Sure. IC however it's the literal language of the gods, which tends to much more metaphysically significant than just being plain old english. Basically, think of it as the language of eldritch space abominations. Do you think they'll be getting a grip on that easily?

Or I might be totally wrong about this. Hence why I said experimental data is appreciated.

Well, we can always invent lozenges and feed the mortals some to make it a slightly easier language for them.

Edit to avoid double posting: I just realized that Aurosseu's symbol no longer makes sense as the sun isn't spherical and certainly won't rise as depicted in the symbol. And I can't edit the symbol, as the symbol's shape plays a part in a plan of mine. I need an excuse, any ideas?

Oh my, that is so adorable! It confused me at first though, because maag is Dutch for stomach and I was wondering why it was saying that, but then I realized that it was the name of the species.

Ah, so that's why the quick search I did before only gave me pictures of the digestive system.

The sun is still a circle when viewed from above or below, considering it's a cylinder? Not sure if that helps at all?

Viewed from the planet fragments, it is not circular from any direction, sadly. Maybe it could be defined as something really shiny that's not a sun behind a hill (the horizon on flat ground is not shaped like the symbol, either), but what?

Maybe it could be a reference to the exploding planet/sun?

I'm tempted to type all my dialogue in Spanish just to mess with the Maag.
