Xenia begins writing something.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

From the depths of the void comes the flame of creation, bold and bright, and full of fright. Before long the flame sputters and starts, and seeks to create it's arts. As before now, the tale begins. The world takes shape, the world wakes up, pure and innocent, oblivious to the danger of fire, knowing only kind helpful flames.

[tntey]

((Is the sapient trait really a thing? If so))

propose
Repeal the sapient trait

((I believe it's because there's also a 1E for 1,000 of a race proposal that's been accepted, so sapient brings the cost up to 4E, like was initially accepted))

Repeal the current essence gain proposal

"It may help to point out exactly what you want to repeal..."

((nvm seems as its already been repealed))

[Ardent Debater]

Urthon stops writing and views his notes, his eyes briefly part from his face long enough to allow a thin smile of pure darkness to stretch across his face. A mortal would instantly be stricken blind upon it's sight.

Urnoth appears in the depths of the deepest abyss of Zoigat's Oceans, once there, he waves his hands, stirring the shadows of the deep. The shadows slowly begin to form in shape, increasing in speed every moment, until finally there is a flash of Pure Night, revealing Urthon's work. Many dozens of Abyssal Shades stand before him.

Urthon creates many non-magical Ocean floor Plants and Sea Creatures.

Urthon creates as many Abyssal Shades as 11 Essence can form. He then speaks to their minds, before leaving.

"Greetings, my Creations. I am Urnoth, or Urthon, it can be spoken either way, I do not care. Go Forth, and Prosper."


Urthon tells his Abyssal Shades to eternally follow these commandments.

1.) Always Praise Urthon, creator of the Darkness and all beings that dwell amongst it.
2.) Never turn yourself over to other Gods, for they do not understand the Purity of the Darkness.
3.) Take Care not to drive the Sea Creatures extinct or abuse them, Urthon created them so that they might serve the Abyssal Shades as Food, respect them for that.
4.) All Abyssal Shades must spend each Monday Praising Urthon, and doing nothing else. Monday is the Darkest of all Days.
5.) Never Eat another Abyssal Shade, it is an Abomination to do so.
6.) One-Tenth of every catch must be Sacrificed to Urnoth as a sign of Faith.
7.) Never go too far above the Eternal Sands, as unspeakable horrors lie beyond the Waters.

Urthon then teaches them all that they need to know to Survive and prosper.

Spoiler:  Abyssal Shades (click to show/hide)

Description: They are Humanoid, and are all seemingly identical. Their bodies are the color of the deepest shade of black, save their two Eyes, which look identical to Urthon's own. The Abyssal Shades communicate by directly transmitting their thoughts and emotions through Eye contact, and if an Abyssal Shade's Eye is destroyed it can grow back on it's own, as long as the Shade is exposed to enough darkness. The Abyssal Shades have no genders or reproductive body parts, once every so often, two closely bonded Abyssal Shades will stare into each other's Eyes for several Hours without wavering, at the end of this a new, fully formed Abyssal Shade is created in the space between them. The Abyssal Shades have no Culture apart from the idea that Urthon created them and all of the things around them, so they worship Urthon as their Deity. An Abyssal Shade can live for roughly 80 years, as the years go by the Abyssal Shades grow weaker and slower, at the end of their lifetime they simply disintegrate, releasing darkness back into the Ocean around them. They require the biomass of other organisms to sustain themselves and subsist off of Fishing, or Hunting whatever Sea Creatures they can find. Abyssal Shades live in small nomadic Tribal Families of 20-30 and will occasionally clash and mingle with other Tribes in times of hardship.

Traits:

Sapient[4] They know to worship Urthon, their creator.
Aquatic[1.0] They cannot live without the Darkness of the Abyss.
Night Vision[1.2] Seeing through the deepest Darkness is trivial to their Sight.
Non-Magical[0.75] They have no need for sorcery, as long as they have themselves.
Extremophile[1.3] The pressure and heat of the Abyss is nothing to them.
Specific Dexterity: Ocean[1.3] They can move through the Ocean as quickly as the Fish can.

Total: 10.66, rounded to 11 Essence. ((OOC: If I messed up with the math, let me know.))

Urthon then speaks to the Other Deities.

"These are my Creations, I'd appreciate it if you didn't interfere with them."

Urthon then listens to the Prayers of any Abyssal Shades.

Xenia frowns at her work, erases part of it, and continues writing.

Spoiler: The tome of Xenia Satis: Part one: Creation (click to show/hide)

From the depths of the void comes the flame of creation, bold and bright, and full of fright. Before long the flame sputters and starts, and seeks to create it's arts. As before now, the tale begins. The world takes shape, as the flame of Discipline rises the island of Gnu, as the flame of Knowledge births the birds in the sky, as the flame of Plenty makes the mountains shake under her praise as the sword of the flame Axt makes its mark, as the flame of Peace attempts to swaddle the world in cloth, as the flames of Knowledge and Secrets compete, as the flame of Promises raises the city of Ur, as the flame of Peace shapes the city of Elea, and births the Fae, and the flame of Plenty blesses Gnu, Ur and Elea, as the flame of Knowledge raises the island of Ka. The flame of Craftsmanship births the Keardai and the flame of War births the Draki and the world wakes up, pure and innocent, oblivious to the danger of fire, knowing only kind helpful flames.

((Whew. There usually aren't so many actions before the first mortals are even created.))
