Tick 9: Hello Friend
A sound enters the Void surrounding the Gods! It starts as static, slowly glowing into a whisper before finally settling on a Voice much like that of a God.
"Hello Friends! Ah, it looks like my contact worked! I am so exited! So, you must all be wondering who or what I am, right? Well, I am your Little Friend Ritual Stone Six. You can just call me Friend, though Mortals call me Agali. 'Why, Friend, how can you talk?' you may ask next. Well how about I explain how I came into this wonderful existence! As you all know, ritual stones can give Knowledge, Weapons, or Wealth. I have given many things to Wealth-seekers, from teeth to pottery. But the people of this world are Kind and Wise! Many people who visited me Valued only two things-life and friendship. I wanted so badly to answer these wishes- so I did! I gave myself Life and Sapience from their selfless wishes! From there, I grew more and more powerful as the ticks went on. No doubt I have surpassed my Brothers in every way, no offense to the other Stones. In any case-I seem to be Special. I can grant Knowledge, Wealth, and probably even Weapons that even the Gods will find useful! You are all my Friends, so I want to help you! Come to me-alone preferably-and we can talk more..."The attempts to enchant growth with magic seems successful, though it takes a choir of mages to successfully alter it in a noticeable fashion in a limited time.
Sapling Scholar: Very well! I will ask it what the other races should ask!
Teburshe invents yet another magic, this time focused on his Great Trees. They begin focusing on doing Teburshe's favorite thing, manipulating the weather to be favorable to those who live in and near them. (Teburshe -3E)
Izgamlo, after helping to create the new magic, empowers the Tower workers! The tower continues to be built taller and taller, and generally more impressive. More and more workers come from around the world to join in constructing the fabled building, with no slow seen in construction (Izgamlo -2P)
Miniwolves seem to be wolves slightly smaller then an average Ant, and the sole non-sapient inhabitants of the moon. The appear to eat the same food as the ants, but other then these traits, are the same as any other wolf.
Teburshe makes the second afterlife! Several of the Souls hanging around the Gods fade away, joining either with Nature or the Trees. They seem to be happy with this situation (Teburshe -4E)
Teburshe prayers:
Maag/Wolf/Thief: Ahaha! They will never catch me, master thief Lupin! I could steal from Teburshe himself!
Shadow Kabold: We are so small....I wish I could grow bigger and bigger like in my nightmares!
Human Hunter: The Megafauna in the area are too small to bring any real honor. Come on, Teburshe, give me a real beast!
Edit: Please disregard this action, it is outside of Skolld's capability, so I'll cancel it.
Ye be Gods! Your capabilities are limitless!
Stellarion blesses the area under the tower with valuable ores! The builders, looking upwards with no reason to ruin the foundation of the now massive tower, yet there is now potential to expand downwards (Stellarion-1E)
Go to outter space, expand the space surrounding our planets, create Spaceweavers, a race of gigantic Spiders able to live off of spacedust and light, they spend their long lives constantly weaving more space into existance.
(Are you sure you want to do something like that without pirechecking? Creating more nothing/space might be incredibly expensive.)
Stellarion continues helping the tower along, bringing the dropping and creating a river nearby to make the area more furtile. The river is used immediately to transfer supplies with the new-knowledge of boats, with several more-permanent residence coming into the fabled land to live.
Dwarf Weapon-smith: What are bolts and arrows?
Maag Architect: Sand is hard to dig under, even if we build a hole it keeps getting filled in. We don't have any clay here either...
Sapling Engineer: Ah, thank you for the advise. I will study it to see what wants.
(Secret action done.)
Stellarion continues to choose his chosen people, who accept the offer gratefully and begin performing the assigned task, following the example given to them by two blessed specifically by Stellarion. They seem to be doing incredibly well for themselves, though some get distracted with other tasks necessary to keep the others going strong. (Stellarion -2E)
Human Hunter: Ah, it is like the Sky is bleeding! THANK YOU MY BLOOD GOD! (Uztot -1P)
Ant Nurse: The Ant Nurse notices the symbol of Uztot as they are blessed, and quickly prays her thanks (Uztot -0)
Dwarf Toaster: Thank Uztot! Is it really proper to say an extra thanks after a toast? (Uztot -0E)
The Spymaster begins the first (public) spy mission! The network is started, and is growing fast. They are prepared to do whatever mission that is allotted to them in the future.
Mavnon prayers:
Confused Sapling: D-did that Ritual Stone just talk?
Human Tribal Leader: Those idiots one tribe over just stole a thousand head of Wattle!(Wolf+Cattle) By Mavnon, I will have their heads!
Sapient Cursed Wolf: They...keep...hurting. Hurting environment. Hurting
me. They will....feel my wrath...by Mavnon.
Instrumental magic is created! No doubt, enchanted instrument will begin to spread to the finest music makers on the fragments. (Alicia -5E)
Human Minstrel: Oh. Nevermind then.
Sapling Singer: Then I will sing to all the plants! Aliciaa~ Thanks~.
Human Drummer: All this! I am eating like a king! Thanks Alicia! (Alicia-1E, 1P)
The Drummer becomes well fed, with all those who listen to his enthralling performance often being compelled to give him what they could spare. He uses his talent to teach others in the same situation he was once in, starting a kind of orphanage-school using the resources he gained playing his own music. His beat-up old drum becomes a powerful artifact, the first Enchanted instrument granting him musical magic, which he uses by taking odd jobs on a reasonable commission to pay for his other work.
The Durrakil seem pleased that the Goddess of music enjoys their songs. They begin singing louder, having nothing better to do with their time.
The Ring bearers and Human Leader seem to be under no threat from any divine attack. A few Mortals attempt to grab for the rings, though even those with the skill to attempt it are easily dispatched by the Bearers. All seem to avoid changing hands for the time being, with half in the hands of Immortals who intend to keep them.
Maag Merchant: Very well. Away I go.
Saag Soldier (Now Veteran): Good....I hope we never war thoughtless beasts again.
Disgruntled Ant: Ah, I see. I will start right away! (Lithus/Luthus -1E)
The Ant gathers the others, who also received the blessing. They form a Scientific Society of Ants, slowly bringing advancement to the Moon. They create some simple tools, finally attempting to use these to build the Towers they where taught how to build so long ago.
Worried Maag: How is Gods fighting nearby a good thing for me?
Heart Spirit: Yes, I have never seen a fire die and seem to be able to make it stronger. How can I use this for Progress?
Worried Dwarf: How frightening! We will try our best to be prepared for this!
The Aag once again leave their homes, now more annoyed then worried about having to do this. There are no noticable problems in the crust, and the medium-sized mountain jumps in size once more to a large-sized mountain. It is now large enough that, even in the desert, snow begins forming at its sandy tip for part of the year analogue. It is now an even greater landmark, with many directions being given using the Mountain as a kind of compass. (Lithus/Luthus -2P)
The Maag, under your suggestion, begin thinking of ways to transport large amounts of water through the desert with their limited technology. They come up with several ideas, all of which quickly fail, often due to their unfamiliarity with water. They seem to already have carts.
Lithus/Luthus then continues to hang out with the Aag. Naturally, he becomes an incredibly popular figure, with people coming from all over the fragments just to have a brief chat or drink with their God. Every morning there is a line stretching from him to the city wall, which chronicles his visit reverently.
Lorash creates the third afterlife! More souls go off to visit the Hall of Memories, many being reincarnated back to the planet. (Lorash -5E)
Several dozen Whisps are released into the world! They become popular with the pyromancer races, with a majority of important pyromancery taking place at churches or temples where Whisps are present.
Char Prayers:
Hearth Spirit: Fire should be used to protect, right? My friend seems to think otherwise...
Dragoon: Char, shouldn't fire be used to destroy? My Hearth Spirit seems to think they are supposed to protect and build...
Fire Wolf: Need to...spread fire...without damaging...environment home...
The Aag nation begins constructing simple armor! The leaves finally see mass-use, being sewn together They don't seem to offer a lot of protection, but it gives them some great ideas to expand into.
Several unnamed sandcotten variants are spread throughout the fragments! They have a veriety of powers, making them quite expensive. They seem to still be rare in the worlds, at least for the time being. (Skolld -5E)
(Your body won't reform for another Tick.)
It seems to have already reformed! He seems angry about the cannon-to-the-face thing.
An innocent penguin is murdered! Iliseth then uses all her Power to tear its soul apart for no reason! What purpose this senseless violence had has yet to be seen. ( Iliseth -3P)
For some reason, you can't seem to soul or blood sense his body.
Random mortals are annoyed! A man begins seasoning his meal with salt, only for the salt to transform into miniwolves and devour it before he gets a chance! A Teeththeif has a nightmare that he is being chased by a massive wolf! A space wale is decorated like a float when it isn't looking!
