[Koroshiya]

Koroshiya is nearby, he just never made a big fuss about it.
Where am I? What happened? Why are there so many wolves on those... weirdly shaped planets?
Koroshiya gazes into the void surrounding the known universe.
What do I do now? Should I return? Can I Return?

Then he notices a plane flying on one of the fragments.
What... is that? I need a closer look.
Koroshiya descends and lands onto one of the planes flying around. Standing on it, while looking around.
Wow, I can stand here, even with this incredibly strong wind.

Tick 1: Brave New World

((Alright, seven pages. One per day. Wonder how long that will last :/))

The world undergoes multiple independent investigations, each yielding relatively the same results. Which is mostly nothing (aside from what is already written in the History section). Perhaps casting a smaller net would lead to better results.

The Vaults where never meant to save anyone. But they did a good job taking the already 'saved' in. All afterlives had been functioning perfectly during Stasis, collecting the fallen souls as they had before. The afterlifeless souls float around the God's metalocation in much larger numbers then before Stasis, a puddle compared to an ocean.

Dgetga goes throughout the world, repairing countless examples of the Fragment's new technology and leaving behind a small with the word "Pray" written on it. There us much appreciation and confusion at this action, with relatively little panic at receiving a threatening calling card. (Dgetga -4P)

Lauxal attempts to invade Utther's mind! The invasion is repelled easily, a God's mind is a fortress (or, more accurately, nobody can find them. They always seem to be lost.) One must wonder how mind-body-soul applies to Gods.

Gai-gen easily finds Sankis the inventor. He has grown out his beard to absurd lengths, apparently not having cut it since the Gods have left. He is currently in a workshop, with the walls covered in inventions old and new (often with a small, scribbled out ring in the corner). A group of mechanical arms, like those found in factories, work diligently to groom the Dwarfy facial hair.

"I predicted you would be back, Gai-gen. Please don't disturb my circles."

The Wolves of the world (including the Nomads, oddly enough) are silent for a full minute. They stare in a single direction, their ears twitching like they heard something. From wigeons perching high in the Human lands, to guard Wogs leashed to New Kingdom border guards, to the unmodified Elemental wolves in far-off lands. The silence is broken by a white wolf. A certain Nomad joins in first, seconds before the rest of the animals on all Fragments begin howling in chorus. (Nilva, -2P)

The most powerful Walker remains the fabled Nightmare Killer (...or whatever he was called), father of thousands and catcher of dreams. He is said to be in direct combat with a Dream Killer of sorts, though those who know more would deny that.

Both the Space-Clan dwarves and Arachnids remain around the Great Tower for the most part, which continues to be the worlds tallest building. The Arachnids boast about having a room with more Space than an entire mansion, while still being the same size as a normal room. They have had a good relationship with the Great Tribe, whose goal of searching for the Gods aligned with Space Dwarve's goal of exploring space. Many volunteered for manned space missions, ending up being the first in the atmosphere among other feats. In return, many of the technological advances of the Great Tribe found themselves helping the tower. High above what would be possible by conventional buildings, giant balloons lend their strength to the tower, supporting by chains if not built directly into them. Where the ground has failed, the sky gives them strength. Construction continues.

Aurosseu paints a silhouette into the moon! It quickly fades, and is a fairly small image. Only those paying close attention noticed (Aurosseu -0P)

Patronius appears before Fredrich, who was praying on his knees in the top of the tower he rules from.

"Patronius, my Lord, could it really be you have returned!?" He begins weeping gently. He bows even deeper, rising his head only once to ring a large bronze bell above him. After one pull, it moves back and forth, ringing throughout the town. Other bells follow throughout the town, as a radio tower begins broadcasting a message to others.

"Thi-this just in. Evidence of the Gods has finally be found. Stay tuned for followup. I repeat, the Gods are in Heaven and all is right with the world."

Koroshiya lands on a Great Kingdom skybus, the inhabitants not seeming to notice a single humanoid landing on top of the vehicle.

Iliseth goes down to a settlement devout (or at least friendly) to her and gathers as much knowledge as possible concerning science, history(wars, political figures, etc.), and geography (territories, population demographics, etc.). She will make no attempts to hide her divinity while doing so.

When she's done getting general knowledge of the world, Iliseth gathers more specific knowledge related to herself. What was the fate of the Human civilisation devout to her and who lived in Sapling territory? How has Art progressed and how is it used among the various races and civilisations? What proportion of Humanity is devout to Iliseth? What races (besides Humans) and types of people are known to worship Iliseth the most?

After getting caught up on how the world has progressed, she creates 5E worth of Humans near other Iliseth-devout population centres (making one if there are none). She imbues them with the knowledge she's gained so they can understand the world they live in and are not limited to using technology from who knows how many years ago.

Iliseth calls up her angel and asks what it's been doing in the time during Stasis.

What were the happenings of Iliseth's Templars after Stasis began?

Look for the Arachnid woman with the purest heart
Grant that Arachnid Immortality, Great Charisma, Great Weaving ability, Poison Resistance, Disease Resistance, Greater Size.

Appear before that Arachnid and I tell her: "Oh hear me, hear me. You have the purest Arachnid heart. I chose you as my disciple. Please gather Arachnids, willing to serve me, and go away from the great tower. A new home is to be built by the likes of yours. Look for a land between three rivers. And begin constructing a city there. The relatively small island shall be extended by your kine, so it grows to hold all Arachnids."

Find the purest Arachnid males and bring them to my disciple. "Those are your mates, your lineage shall be legendary."

"Circles? Very well..." Gai-gen looks about Sankis' workshop in search of said "circles".
Gai-gen took a pause as the music emanating from him intensified slightly before slowing back down.
"As I think you might already have guessed, the gods, including me, have returned. What you might not have guessed is that many of us have... changed. Including me."
"I now possess a defect that cannot be repaired, for fear of dooming me to inactivity. I believe mortals refer to this defect as "emotion"."
The music swelled again before slowing down once more.
"Among other issues."
Gai-gen paused, thinking, before deciding on some action.
"There is much to do. But to start with... that all may know I have returned, receive this staff."

Gai-gen creates The Staff using 8 Essence(or 10 if necessary). Made of an incredible alloy made from steel, titanium, and carbon- it's not going to break. It manipulates kinetic forces to allow Sankis(nobody else) to carry and wield it. The Staff can store Power within it and allow a mortal who uses it(though it will rend the soul of any mortal other than Sankis who tries to use it) to shape it and discharge it as a god would. It also possesses safeguards that will protect its wielder from harm if the wielder fails to use it with enough control to avoid injury. In addition, if a god other than Gai-gen attempts to tamper with it- the Staff will discharge all of its stored power in a direct attack against them. Gai-Gen promptly fills The Staff with 5 Power(or less if it can't hold that much).

The Staff is promptly bestowed unto Sankis(Gai-gen attempts to avoid disturbing Sankis' circles in the process).
"You can probably guess why you should be careful with this. Regardless... I trust that it will be good in your hands. If you need a refill, just pray- and give a good reason, I would rather not have to use too much of my Power to fill this."

Gai-gen departs from Sankis' workshop, then uses all the power he has left to induce a "golden age of invention" or such.

Teburshe takes a look at the state of the world's economy, the advances in science, and in particular at what has occurred to the Saplings and Great Trees, the Polyps and Great Reefs, few as they were before the Slumber of the Gods, and the Megafauna.

"I wonder...how much room there is left in the world...to grow?"

As he asks, he checks to see whether civilization has indeed managed to find all the nooks and crannies of the fragments and populate them. And then, he looks back to his garden. The Great Trees, and the Great Reefs.

"How have our charges fared...these last few centuries? Or was it longer?"
"...I am sorry for my absence, my darlings...I did not intend to leave you to the cruelties of time without some aid...but it was not my decision to make...can you forgive me?"
