"As I said, I am in no rush to form the union before it is deemed wise, if it is deemed wise."

[Rolepgeek]

"...and now to plant again...and grow the first of many..."

Teburshe creates the first Great Tree, and 10k Saplings to populate it and it's surroundings, once life reaches a sufficient complexity level on the planet. Teburshe also uses 2 Power to ensure there are environmental conditions that will suit the tree and it's denizens for growth and prosperity, and 2 Power on clouds of spores and pheromones that increase the fertility and longevity of the Saplings for the tick, to help them reproduce and multiply. Crux can be used if necessary.

If it would cost more than would put Teburshe at 4/10 Crux, then plant it as a 'seed' that will not be fully completed until more Essence/Crux/Power is put in, and a certain amount of time is passed. A tick, say. If that's not long enough, two ticks.

"The union should be made even if its sole purpose is to prevent the destruction of reality."

Use 2 Power to create a temporarily-existing "optic cable" that'll let me peek through the hole without going in it myself. Active soul sense and look at the hole both before, during, and after I insert the optic cable.

[Demonic Spoon]

Use three power to bless the ant queens with increased fertility/fecundity during this tick

((Retconning this))

Uztot creates 10k Hearth Keepers.

"These ants of yours interest me Izgalmo...if only for their status as Creation's first form of life. In all other respects, they seem dull. Their follow their senses and do as needed for their colonies. They have great minds, but little to do with them. I do believe some change is in order."

Use Essence to create to transform a quarter of Ant Drones into Archons. In form, Archons are twice the size of a drone and each are marked by bluish chitin. An Archon is able to produce pheromones  that unlike other ants, allows him full control over the Colony. Archons will continue to spread their rule until they come into conflict with another Archon's realm; Conflict or Peace will ensue depending on the whims of the Archon. Archons will attempt to impose their views on their populace. As is, all original Archons are aware of Mavnon and Izgalmo.

Lithus/Luthus selects the largest desert existing near a portion of the mantle that was exposed during the cataclysm that he can find and creates 10k specimens of his first creation.

Spoiler: said creation (click to show/hide)

Name: Maag
A short sapient humanoid, slightly less than half the size of humans have a silicon base rather than a carbon one. They have a cream white skin, a somewhat oversized head and three bulging black eyes. They are extremely dexterous with their hands, which are more suited towards delicate tasks than brute force. They feed from the sun's energy and the ambient heat rather than traditional food and drinks, being perfectly at ease even in the hottest of the desert, but being intolerant of the more temperate climates, requiring an artificial heat source to maintain them in good shape. They are naturally innovative and curious and greatly enjoy to find new uses for or to improve existing things, and enjoy new discoveries at the same level. Due to their small size, thin body and general lack of strength, they would make poor fighter, despite the fact that their skin is somewhat more resilient than human skin. They are also somewhat more intelligent than humans. They also have a tail, though they can't really use it as a weapon. They sleep in short bursts, for about the same amount of time as a regular night of sleep when added together. They also prefer fleeing over fighting, but won't hesitate to defend themselves and each other when necessary. When In combat, they will tend to use their small size and agility to dodge their opponents and strike whenever an opportunity is presented. They will also prefer peace and cooperation over conflict and competition, and so tend to be open-minded and tolerant. They also often possess an interest in arts, and have a certain affinity with acting and painting/drawing, but can still perform other forms of art.(I probably forgot a ton of details, so expect a bunch of edits)

Edit: Added picture.

Could I convince you to lower the amount of archons created? A quarter seems too high an amount for what is essentially a ruling caste.

[Pencil_Art]

In the wake of the second Tick, raw energy began rushing inwards, quickly forming a humanoid shape that looked as if it was made of stone.

'Sevron looked about at the gathering of the Gods, and their useless debate on shape. Shape, shape, shape, it was all the same to him.

[micelus]

"Hmm. I do think these mortals you people seem so keen on creating deserve an apt education. A personal one as well."


From the Heavens she descended, unto the humble creatures of the earth. He blazed with the light of the sun, though dimmed by the plates and rings of armour. With parchment in one hand and rusty blade in the other, she spoke to the elders of the newborn with a voice of immortal tone.

"Mortal are you, with knowledge only of Maker and World. With one thought, they who made you cast your form from dust and shadow. Now they wait and watch, waiting for your true Births and the many feats your people will perform."

She raised her sword up towards the heavens, towards not the sun but beyond it. Though rusted, it gleamed like the sun itself and mortal eyes could not look at it in fear of its radiance.

"I am Mavnon, a being equal to your makers. I know them true. Iliseth, Izgalmo, Teburshe and the twins Lithus and Luthus. Born from the same cloth but of different minds, each are brother to one another; gods of the Heavens above. I come to tell you now of us truly."

"Worship us as you wish, but know each will use you as they see fit. " With that, Mavnon continued

Spoiler: On Creation (click to show/hide)

The gods were born of Dark and Light of pure essence. From it we each emerged fully form of body and mind. The first to think was Teburshe, He who organised us all. From his suggestion, the Sun and Earth were founded. Each of his brothers gave as they desired, though some gave not at all. Those who did not, became the Janis, deities of the self. Those who gave to the Creation of Sun and Earth became the Aljis, deities of the selfless.

Gai-gen, who committed greatly to Creation, was hated by the other gods for his failed attempt at creating a second world. In fury and jealousy at Teburshe, he plotted to destroy the world entirely. He gathered amongst him Liram, Izgamlo and Mavnon, each who swore to fight the others for dominion of what would remain. And so, with his power over the Hidden Ways, Izgamlo sent demons of Liram into each of the godly realms.

Distracted, Mavnon and Gai-gen descended onto the nascent earth, intoning the words of Death. Gai-gen was overjoyed and in his pride, saw not the dagger that came for him. Smiling and careful, Mavnon slashed the god's back, tearing him apart just as he had planned with the world. This is why her blade is bloody, for the blood of the divine never ends its flow.

Though Gai-gen's body died, his spirit did not. Enraged at betrayal, he finished his spell. The world burnt and died, thrice over, with Mavnon still on it. Perturbed, she intoned her own chant; the battle of will and song continued without end for nearly a year and day, but in the end, Gai-gen was defeated and Mavnon remained standing.

For her betrayal of her brothers and Gai-gen, Mavnon was forced to serve as the messenger of the gods and when asked why she had done all this, he smiled and said but a phrase: "I am who I am."

They promptly tore off her wings.

"I am aware of this. And no."

Blatant Lies: Spread above myths to Humans, Ants, Hearth Keepers, Saplings,and the race created by Lithus/Luthus.

[~Neri]

((To be totally honest. Hidden Things fits Nilva quite well.))

[Vgray]

(Hey, why aren't my Hearth Keepers important enough to be lied to?)

[micelus]

((Didn't think they were sapient.))

[IcyTea31]

"I suspect the planet was damaged due to being pumped full of Power and not enough Essence, or due to geometry not being actually able to be broken, or both. Why did some Gods add Power to it anyway?"

"I sadly have to decline joining the Union. While I don't intend to cause unnecessary harm to others, my and Lauxal's opposed spheres practically force us to work against each other or compromise. And I see no compromise for me that involves Nightmares. I might still ally with individuals, but this Union is not for me."

[Vgray]

((I didn't specify, which appearently means they default to sapient. And I have no problem with that. The sapience.))
