My fellow, divines. I would like to propose that we create a universal source of food for our creations, one plentiful and nutritious, so that none will go hungry. I estimate it would cost more than 30 units of our power to spread enough of it over the continent that all our creations will have food. The more power invested the better really. I hope that you will all join me in creating it.[/color]
. I agree with Zeneth. While I agree that our people should have some resources to help them I don't think it's wise to give them such an easy access to food. They will grow complacent and lazy without this powerful drive, or even worse they could turn arrogant. Desire is the fuel of development. So, please keep your trees far away from my people. Adversity comes in many forms Zelthen. Monsters, such as the one even now lurking at the bottom of its sickening ocean, is one form, as is wild animals, sickness, epidemics, injury, mental illnesses, unrequited love, extremes in temperature, natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and of course, wars. I could go on for quite a while. I merely wish that my creations have one less thing to worry about, that they need not fear for where they will find their next meal. Surely, this alone will not cause all to fall into depravity and indolence. I have a bit more confidence and trust in my creations than that, and hope you have in yours as well.
Om, none of this are needs, they are troubles.They can happen or not to a single individual to a varyiing degree. But hunger is one of the most basic needs of mortals, equal only to their drive to reproduce. If you take the hunger away, they lose half of their motivation.So Asteros began to shape his peace of land. He created tall mountains, a long mountain range spawning his entire region. In the mountains there are also the origins of many rivers, which make the land below and the lower altitudes a tropical jungle. Since the mountains are so high, hower, the caps are always covered in snows. Right at the centre of it the biggest mountain is actually an active volcano, that makes the land around it both fertile and dangerous.
I like you idea of a special tree Om but i'm going to put my own spin on it. . Then, when the Earth has became habitable he proceeds to create the Star Tree which will thrive in the valleys and at the base of the mountains.
Star Tree: Sturdy tropical trees which produces nutrient and very tasty flowers. They are quite tall and have a smooth trunk, so it's difficult to reach the flowers without flying. The trees produce flowers and reproduce all the year but each tree bloooms only for a brief time. Thus it's important to keep track of the time with great accuracy to really profit from them. Their branches are also covered in thorns and they are quite slim, so they agitate a lot during windy days, requiring agility, coordination and perception to get flowers without getting hurt.
However the Star lord was still unsatisfied. He decided to create another plant, a plant more directly involved in the spiritual Enlightenment. He created the Sky Moss
Sky moss:it's a hallucinogen moss that lives only at high altitudes, especially in volcanic zones.When eaten it creates powerful hallucinations that reflects the deepest fears and desires of the individual, often in a symbolic form. It does not create dependecy, on the contrary the experience is often scarring, but those who eat it can gain a precious insight on their souls.
In the end he spoke to the demigod;
Weirdly enough, i allign myself with my divine collegues. i'm sure your people will bring many challenges with them and with challenges comes the opportunity to learn.. Shape my region
Create the Star tree
Create the Sky moss
Accept the demigod offer.
In that order.
