Help the PRC to find more magic monoliths to transcribe
Help the development of leyline trains

6E: Create a unit of Terminae
Teach the Terminae how to make corned gunpowder
Teach Terminae necromancers about anatomy.

Cheer on Anansi and Shimmerhand technology efforts.

Propose the absolute destruction of all magnets
Death is reminded that there is no council to make proposals to. Landria opposes the destruction of magnets, as this is obviously the doing of the Dagomoths and their ghost moon

[Katzerie, the Token God]

Katzerie addresses the Dagomoths.
"Okay, who wants to become an Illuminatus agent?
I will replace one of your normal eyes with a special eye, which lets you see through illusions, and use psionic powers.
I seek those most proficient in using their red eye.
"
Katz is looking for the best Eldritch users, to make her agent.
Katz starts creating the Illustratio Oculus (Enlightenment Eye), letting those who get it, see through illusions, and use psymental powers.
Katz invests up to 6 E into the creation of the eye.

It is perfectly fine if you want to stay underwater, as I do not need an excruciatingly large amount of voluntaires, just one thousand or so."

"Um... so, when will we get to... making, a moon?
I've... come up with another, idea.
"
Katz clears her throat.
"Two moons, one big, one small. Both have cycles, the bigger has a longer cycle.
Every 12 years, they both have a full moon. And every 12 years, they both are dark.

To the blue/white branch:

The wells are a great idea, and I would recommend building them on leyline intersections where mana naturally bursts away in all directions, BUT, that is not what I asked you to do. While it they could eventually be used to power many magical devices in grand cities built around them, they are as useful to a common man as a volcano. Leave this to Blue school and focus on smaller things, like:

Wards that atract or deter annimals.
Long lived portable enchantments that emit heat or cold on command.
Portable weight reducing enchantments that can be attached to building materials to make them nearly weightless.
Water purifying enchantments.


And to appeal to a richer audience and attract funds enough to expand and hire those who don't feel good of all and knowledge of magic is good enough:

Golem servants.
Flying transportation.
Enchanted clothing.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

0E: Order that leylines wells harvested by Jannan companies. Hire Blue/White Mages to make more at additional sites. Employ the locals if necessary. Use them to power Jannan arcano-trains. Of course, make sure they copy the info on how to make mana battery from a monolith first.
0E: Give Jannan intellectuals bucketloads of stored mana, for research purposes.
0E: Get the Scorim to begin setting up weapon factories. Sadiq wants the city armouries to be full. Additionally, Scorim are heavily encouraged to begin setting up factories throughout Jannah for all kinds of products.
0E: Create the Ironclad I Dare You with Scorim engineering. Attach some Sharim for power and weaponry. Do include Mecahnized weaponry.
0E: Encourage the Ishim to work in Scorim factories.
0E: Encourage the Sharim to milk their Elemental Magic for fun and profit/for the greatness of the state. Ice for refrigerators, fire for heating, earth for construction, electricity for electricity.
0E: Ask the Sharim how difficult it would be to...encourage them to reproduce.
0E: Begin a propaganda campaign talking about how great multiculturism and collaboration between races is. Except for Chaos Slaughterers. They can die a painful death. Its right in the name guys.
0E: Begin setting up colonies and trading outposts throughout the world for raw materials. Ishim hands, Scorim technology and Sherim magic will ensure Jannah's Prosperity!

Captain Praven inspects the cloud and finds, on board the first captain's ship, a lingering Molski saboteur in front of a new anchor holding a torch near what was once Praven-spawned rotting blubber. The sails are noticeably more damaged than they should be. Captain Praven congratulates the magnet for the magical success and offers treasure in exchange for disclosing the method.

   New anchor?: <Harr, I was still on deck with a torch and dropped the torch when the water came in aharr yarharr! Wharrr's my loot?>


Captain Praven's eyes widen when the New Anchor speaks, and he completely forgets the presence of the Molski saboteur for a moment.

"Now who Ye be? I ain't never seen a walkin' talkin' anchor, an' don't worry, Ye'll get Yer Treasure, I'd jus' like to know some more 'bout Ye, 'fore I part wit' some o' me hard earned booty... 'sides, how'd tha ship go up in flames? Maybe it had to do wit' tha Whale Blubber, or are Ye jus' magical? Also, this doesn't matter so much, but why'd Ye do it in tha first place?"

Captain Praven turns toward the Molski saboteur and briefly scolds him before letting him go.

"Did Ye have somethin' ta do wit' this? 'A course Ye did! I wasn't born yesterday, an' I know a saboteur when I see one! Lucky for Ye, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let Ye walk scot-free this time. Next time Ye light a ship on fire, make sure it's not a Pirate ship!"

Captain Praven checks on the Pirates and sees how well they are doing so far. He also examines the prevalence of Overseas Trade.

Tick 5.5: Leaps

LIGHT has finished looking at Hastani society. The Hastani seem to expand extensively along those belts of land which they are best adapted to. Their settlements tend to be lined with intermittent markets occupied by traveling traders and Hastani merchants.

Mani has created Ichi, an Anansi twisted into a humanoid shape of great power and red glasses. (Mani: -19E) Mani has assigned Ichi to a Section One leadership role.

Mani responds to prayers:
   Anansi explorer: "Yes, they would make excellent target practice!"

Mani seems to be orchestrating a magnet coup against the gods.

LIGHT listens to prayers:
   Sharim guard: <The beastmen aren't attacking nearly as often>
   Settled Maisse: "When will the next tournament be?"
   Hastani farmer: "What if you could smite the ground for miles around to plow it?"

On the LIGHT's urging, a number of Sharim have turned to a nomadic life, wandering the wilds and appreciating its beauty and chasing the LIGHT from near the ground in a futile quest to outrun the sunset.

The LIGHT has encouraged temple stewards to expand the scope of temples of LIGHT to be places of learning and knowledge.

Sadiq has created more Ishim. (Sadiq: -8E) Sadiq's brief investigation of the Djinnmarket trash reveals that it came from somewhere around the peak of the mountain, judging from the bloating and general dryness.

Sadiq responds to his friends' prayers:
   Ishim administrator: "Thank you, Friend!"
   Sharim scribe: <Our writing techniques disintegrate their light-soaking paper, but we will ask nonetheless>
   Scorim engineer: "But we can make better farms! That don't get watered with salt!"

Death has wisely begun conspiring to destroy all magnets following their dastardly deeds and attempted deicide. Landria sides with the magnets.

The PRC have begun searching deeper in the wilds for more monoliths to transcribe. Landria helps with developing leyline trains, hopefully securing them against potential Scorim and other anti-magic saboteurs.

Landria has created another unit or so of Terminae. (Landria: -6E) Landria has also taught the Terminae about gunpowder grain sizes and their necromancers more about anatomy. Landria continues to cheer technological progress among the Anansi and Shimmerhands.

Katzerie has appeared to the Dagomoths, requesting volunteers for uplift. A skilled-sounding mage has come up, and Katzerie has invested 6E in the mage toward becoming Illuminatus Luna Lepidoptera.

Frami has taught the Hyrrans, who bathe in lava, about hydraulics. Frami has taught the Hyrrans to also dig fantastic magma ducts that manage to keep the magma hot to light their galleries. Frami has also taught the Hyrrans about smelting technology. Frami has taught all the Frami-aligned races about book technology. Even the Hyrrans, around whom paper spontaneously combusts.

Frami has created more Hyrran in the lava caves and more Nautils in Typhonum. (Frami: -8E).

Gandtrael has created more Gandtraelites. (Gandtrael: -3E) Gandtrael has also encouraged leyline development in Grataca and enclaves for mages in Grataca. Gandtrael has created some Teletal near Grataca. (Gandtrael: -1E)

In addition to the Wstfgl-as-moon idea backed by Landria and Wstfgl, Katzerie has put forward a two-moon solution, in which two out of phase moons of different periods align once every twelve years.

Xislo has praised the Blue/White school for their development of mana wells but criticizes their focus on impractical technology not useful for the common man, directing their attention  instead toward animal-related wards, long-lasting heat/cold enchantments, portable weight reduction enchantments, and water-purifying enchantments and maybe golem Cervantes, flying transportation, and enchanted clothing.

Sadiq has ordered that leyline wells be harvested by Jannah-based companies, hiring Blue/White mages for the purpose of building more and allowing employment drawn from locals. They are intended to power Jannah arcano-trains, making sure to design mana batteries first.

Sadiq has given Jannah intellectuals bucketloads of mana for research and arranged for the Scorim to begin producing weapons and maintaining an armory. Sadiq also encourages industry in general.

Sadiq has created the ironclad I Dare You, powered by Sharim and armed with Scorim technology, thus dispelling the myth that water can't float steel plates. The Sharim in general have been encouraged to use their magical talents to aid the state.

The Sharim indicate that they do reproduce already.

Sadiq has also started a campaign promoting multiculturalism (leaving out the nasty Chaos Slaughterers, who are themselves to be slaughtered). Some have, with some prompting, started up outposts along the coast and along the river so as to help guard Jannah and increase the flow of trade.

Captain Praven responds to the anchor:

   Anchor: <...>

The Molski saboteur and accomplice has been graciously released for now, probably because it must have been the nefarious magnetic anchor that initated the sabotage.

The Molski Pirates and their non-Molski associates are far more organized now. This has the slight problem that overseas trade (but not overland trade) has declined significantly.

Wstfgl has made the Great Dreaming occasionally and briefly accessible to mortals, especially the Dream-Feeders. (Wstfgl: -3E)

An Anansi magician has been banished from an ongoing magic show in an Anansi town to the town square of the same Anansi town.

Gandtrael has possibly revealed the existence of a rogue cabal of gods controlling everything from the shadows.

   Concerned Fhortan citizen: "But even when they believe in it, they still fail!"

"Ah, there is a difference between believing in something, and something being a part of you. Luck is a part of the Fhortan's very being. Perhaps something can be created in order to aid any outsiders in a Trial of Ordeal... I will ponder the matter. What would you wish an artifact to be able to do for the outsiders?"

   Fhortan gambler: "If you consume your Essence, I open a gambling house. If you fail to consume your Essence, I become Chief Roller of the Fhortan!"

"Well the latter isn't really how the election system is s'posed to work, so I will consume my Essence."

Consume 1E in a random lucky miracle somewhere among the Fhortan.

   Fhortan astrologer: "Everyone already knows LYT will rise every day. I need some way to make it more fun for my...clients."

"You know how I feel about deception, my child. It is a most grievous sin to tamper with the odds. Who are your clients?"
