Tick 3: Contact and Creation (Expected Tick duration: 24-36 hours)
Two races have been created today: The Star People of Itia and the Wisps of Jens!
The second planet has been confirmed as a mostly barren, icy world with a lush, temperate equatorial belt. The third planet has mostly been locked in as a garden world with large oceans, abundant wetlands, and mostly temperate lands, but this is by no means final.
One of these three planets is a giant planet, but perhaps, it is a separate planet entirely. It may even be a gas giant.
Lolohe has been informed of the existence of Thannels. He hopes to find a "cure for Thannelism" but has imposed a two-year quarantine on 49-year-olds.
Eid has taught the Kitsoony about heroism and heroic stories in which good triumphs over evil and of circuses, parades, festivals, and carnivals. Sadiq has taught the Kitsoony of the role of props in theater.
(9/9 Muses)
Si has continued stalking the Kitsoony, maintaining some distance and focusing on the isolated/alone. Her presence changes those around her, darkening their blood for several days. After some questioning from other gods, Si has begun concealing her presence, even silencing some loud music somehow attached to her by Veles, the somewhat worried creator of the Kitsoony, who also managed to warn the Kitsoony of the danger associated with the music. Fortunately, it appears that Si's presence has no lasting physical effects. (Si: -3F, Veles: -2F)
Eid examines, with Mörkö's assistance, the resurrected/healed people with "soul sense" and discovers that none of the people are really different except the dead people have a slightly higher need to shower. Phew! (Mörkö: -1F)
Arkford has placed Efte-specialized translation devices at the mouths of Efte caves. (Arkford: -1E)
Following Zhìn Réng Jiāng's transformation into the City of Rule, 250 Zhǎngzǐ and 5000 Púrén have been created along with a distinctive assortment of flora and fauna for building, medicine, food, and a variety of other purposes. Zhìn Réng Jiāng has begun teaching and guiding the Zhǎngzǐ and the Púrén in the ways of building a civilization, and rumors of the City of Rule's unique traits begin spreading. (Zhìn Réng Jiāng: -12I)
(15) Zhìn Réng Jiāng has begun administering vaccines to those living in and around the City of Rule against the more deadly diseases. (Zhìn Réng Jiāng: -
(12) Sadiq has granted the Consortium 2 Flux's worth of speed boosting for their caravans, and trade rapidly grows to include even some of the less convenient locations. Sadiq has also spawned 1000 Djinn from the Cairns, making 100 of them into Brass Caste Djinn and granting them priority for administration of organizations. The Djinn have begun the widespread use of predetermined pieces of metal in place of various other goods, increasing the potential value of each caravan. (Sadiq: -2F, -4E)
Sadiq has also created the Masqued Carnivale, a band of traveling entertainers intended to spread entertainment. It is to be managed by Djinn and will explore the world searching for entertainers to recruit and attractions to include, many of them involving masks. A few Djinn have joined as entertainers, and they have stopped just outside of BroadRoad hoping to attract some Kitsoony entertainers through the use of lucrative contracts. Veles has looked through them very, very carefully and initially found them too vague for his liking.
(10) Finally, Sadiq has begun the construction of El-Jannah, his holy city and the center of Djinn culture, on a desert coast by a large river. Sadiq has sent supplies and materials and probably Djinn through the use of 3 Flux. (Sadiq: -3F)
((Brought to you by the Coin of No Cost, where the price is the prize!))
Eid has used "soul sense" to find a difference between a novice and a master mage. The novice has a soul and the master doesn't, the master mage has a soul while casting and none when not casting, the soul of an angel is different from that of half of all Humans and is different from half of all master magic users surveyed.
Tenat has constructed the Vault, a central neutral structure for holding and protecting documents and agreements and providing a safe way to later modify them only with agreement. Vault Doors, access terminals to the Vault, have been distributed to major cities and knowledge of their construction has been released.(Yena: -4E)
(11) Mörkö has conjured a revolver with one loaded bullet, dropping it between Veles and Sadiq. Rose and Lupin are agitated by the competition for use of guns. (Mörkö: -1F)
Zenurion has threatened multiple disasters if he receives no prayers:
"O mighty Zenurion, I offer you this spear by which I slew my father and mother. Grant me power and strength!"
"Could you help me test out this thing that is a godslaying engine and not just a trick?"
"Zenurion, where should I start my tower?"
Tenat, too, listens for prayers and hears these:
"Is there any way to hasten our growth?"
"Can I visit your Crystal Gardens?"
"How should I improve my chaomancy?"
Tenat has erected a flood barrier of crystal to protect the Crystallum (Yena: -2F)
There are rumors of increased bandit activity on Gaia.
A meteor has obliterated apart Tenat's barriers without harming anyone!
Prominent this Tick is the constellation known as The Scales, emphasizing justice and law.
((Stirk: Hopefully the difference wasn't too much))
((FArgHalfnr: Since it's unlikely to have lasting effects, whatever works is fine. Here is a sample of what I'd probably end up producing:
A bored Zenurion and a bored Talios have begun sparring! Zenurion strikes Talios, but the attack is parried! Talios counters and Zenurion manages to deflect the blow. Zenurion swings wildly and misses but manages to trip Talios! Talios strikes back and hits! This goes on for a while.
