Lithus/Luthus answer to prayers
Maag Merchant:
Then do the best you can do, I will not be angry if you fail. I believe that your kind is capable of developing these technologies on your own, but anything that might speed the process is welcome.
Saag Soldier:
These owls are the only thing he has created, built to harm and annoy. Their slaughter was part of the price of his actions, but now it is over, you can return to peace.
Disgruntled Ant:
I will give you a blessing to help you begin. You should use it as a base to grow your knowledge.
Use no more than 1E to increase the intelligence and curiosity of the Disgruntled Ant and as many like-minded Ants as possible. This gift shall be hereditary. Lithus tells to everyone who have received the gift to meet with the Ant who have asked for it and work together on scientific progress.
Your children should inherit your gift, allowing it to outlive your generation. While I am speaking to you, you must have noticed that children tend to inherit traits from their parents. If intelligence was seen as a desirable trait for a mate, then new generations could potentially become smarter as time go. I will let you think about it.
Maag Gravedigger:
Good. Do not fear to improve this in any way that you may find, and be sure to tell me the results.
Worried Maag:
It seems Iliseth have decided to attack Utther. You do not have to be afraid, this action might even be beneficial to you.
Heart Spirit:
Hmm... Good question. How can you interact with the world? The answer to your question most likely lies in that direction. If you have the power to make the fires stronger or last longer, then it would definitively be useful to everyone.
Worried Dwarf:
I believe the actions taken by Utther, along with his punishment might have given birth to armed conflict among gods. Even I do not know where this will lead us, but for now it seems that this conflict is limited to Utther. Be watchful of us gods, for the incoming events might significantly alter the future of creation. Be sure to spread any knowledge you may find, as progress thrives from truth.
Lithus appears to the Aag nation again for more announcements.
I will need to ask you again to take the usual precautions as I will raise the mountain once again. It's purpose will soon be revealed, even though I would not be surprised if some of you have already guessed it.
Lithus/Luthus surveys the crust around the mountain. Did its creation caused any instabilities? If yes, cancel the expansion and use the power to repair them. Otherwise, spend 2 more units of power to raise the mountain.
I have noticed that some of you have taken the beliefs that you are above certain scientific tasks. This is false, anything that can allow scientific progress to happen is worthy of your time, even I am not exempt of this rule.
Another thing I wish to discuss is the project that a Gravedigger have started, which require the excavation of sand. It came to my mind that wet sand is more easily manipulated. If you could bring large enough amounts of water, you might be able to soak the area you wish to excavate, making the task easier. Perhaps the waterproofing technique used by clothiers could be useful for the transportation?
Teach the Aag nation how to build wooden carts to transport goods If they haven't learned how to already. If this cost me something, use crux, and not essence.
Spend time within the Aag nation: chat with the population and befriend them, guide scientists toward discoveries and artists towards inspiration, but do not spend any essence/power/crux on that.
