((I know, at least on the part of public stuff))

"Perhaps some people would like to collaborate on some constellations or something then. Spice things up a bit."

"I have proposed that we make the Dream-God the moon, so there'll be something in the night sky. And I suppose the occasional eclipse to add some astrological excitement. Stars seem messy though."

Oppose stars

[Stirk]

Anansi explorer: "We found tainted fleshy creatures that create interesting gems!"

"Neato! They are Moth-thingies. Mani can't remember much about them, 'cuz he wasn't paying attention when they where made. Mani thinks they are weird, but not dangerous! Unless you are talking about some other fleshy thing, in which case stay away from their gems. Either way, if they look at you funny, either run away or go for the optics!"

Section One tester: "I can't stop my rolling! Help!"

"Oyeah, stopping is something you need to do with rolly things, isn't it? Lets see if Mani has a break design around here somewhere...Oh, here one is!"

Mani creates two break rotors on the SO tester's legs, instructing him to put one on either side of his spinny hoop to slow it down using friction. If that fails, he summons a parachute.

Anansi builder: "What lies above the Mountain?"

"Mani thinks the Gods lie pretty often, and sometimes we do it above the mountain. Especially the Light guy, he is almost always above the mountain. There is also this fancy flying pirate ship that is often above the mountain, though they don't have many people to lie to when they are flying, aside from each other. If you really think about it, most races are above the mountain right? If you stand on something, you have to be above it! Even the termite-things sometimes go above the mountain. So all races with liars have people who lie above the mountain. Mani hopes that answers your question!"

[hector13]

"Then there were will be two things. Twice as much as before, but equally as uninteresting.

Perhaps someone else has some ideas..?"

[crazyabe]

I Create two units of turistians.

[DreamerGhost]

Use 5E to expand the leyline network. Check up on White/blue branch that is meant to make non-mage stuff. Recommend to idle red School mages to join explorers in order to find more distant monoliths.

"I have made the STARFLOWERS in part to ILLUMINATE the night, though there are no STARS in the sky. I do have an IDEA of how we might RECTIFY this, however."

0-1 Essence(?): Create THE HEAVENS, an afterlife where each soul that joins it becomes a star in the sky. Brightness levels not guaranteed, correspondence of actual soul location to apparent star location may vary.
0 Essence: Teach the Maisse of navigation via LIGHT.
0 Essence: Teach the Sharim about growing artificial crystals.
0 Essence: Teach the Hastani about scientific rigor
0 Essence: Teach the Terminae about effective light placement in their tunnels.

0 Essence: See what my peoples' culture and society looks like currently. Caste systems, if any, interactions between different groups or villages or what-have you, government systems, religious authorities, etc.

"Now I deem thee the first of the CHAMPIONS of LIGHT Of my people, the BRIGHTEST shall find GLORY and BLESSING. So shall the TRUTH be spread by those who have been ENLIGHTENED."
10-11 Essence: Of the contests held by the Maisse, the greatest among them in martial ability, scholarship, and integrity shall become the first ENLIGHTENED. They are an Epic Hero, with knightly, prophetic, and magical affinities. PM with more details.

"Speaking of afterlives I should make one too shouldn't I?"
?E Create The Choir Invisible, a afterlife where souls who worship Mumuski are brought where they can play songs using any kind of musical instrument ever made or to be made, there is the same amount of stages as there are souls in the Choir, each soul with there own personal stage to practice, there are also massive stages for full skilled orchestra's to play and when a orchestra play's its music can be heard in the mortal realm where appropriate, so a dramatic sounding orchestra playing might be heard near a duel between a warlock and a hero and a peaceful sounding one might be heard in a meadow or a small farming town. Souls are also allowed to reincarnate at any time they aren't playing, as to avoid over crowding and allow those who what another shot at life to get one.

Afterwords she examines the Technological advancement of the Zwerg

A Molski captain's ship has exploded in a stinking cloud!

"Mighty strange, 't wouldn't surprise me not one bit if one of tha more uptight Gods had somethin' to do wit' 't. Now, don't Ye get me wrong, I ain't got any complaint wit' Mortals messin' wit' me crew, but when tha Gods get involved, 't jus' ain't fair, an' it rubs me tha wrong way, an' I won't stand for it."

Captain Praven inspects the stinking cloud and what or who might've been behind the ship's explosion. If a Mortal was responsible, Captain Praven physically manifests in front of the Mage to personally congratulate them for their magical success, and offer a large sum of treasure to know how he/she/it did it. If a Deity was responsible, well, the Captain will cross that bridge when he comes to it.

0E: Sadiq founds The Mechanical Madrassah, a huge structure in Jannah's Gold District that constantly changes shape and form. Each and every module in the Madrassah is connected to a large amount of machinery, allowing the Madrassah to reconfigure itself as needed.

"Boo! Public investigations never work! Boooooriiiiing! Mani will demonstrate."

Mani attempts to use zero essence to have Captain Praven's inspection lead to a random magnet.

Send the circuses to all races to entertain them

"Its a trap! Brain monsters are going to all races to control their minds! Quickly, use this design to shield yourselves and those you care about! There is little time, Section One!"

Mani hands a design for a brain protecting device to Section One. This device uses a very thin "foil" of metal shaped into a hat, with enchantment magic protecting the wearer from mind control and other mental effects (again, not spending essence and seeing what happens.).

Tick 5.0: Leaps

Landria has given the throne-maker more Saland.

Landria has taught the Terminae about plate armor. Their necromancers appear to have begun creating more advanced undead, all the while mocking death in their usual undersane way.

Steady progress is being made on the connection between Jannah and the Terminae. Softly glowing tracks keeping the glow of the forge light the floor of the underground portion of the connection. A group consisting mostly of Terminae and Ishim are currently testing out various mechanisms of transport, and magical engines drawing from the nearest leyline seem to be the most efficient option at the moment.

Landria continues to cheer for more technological development on the part of the Shimmerhands and Anansi.

Fortuna responds to prayers:
   Concerned Fhortan citizen: "But even when they believe in it, they still fail!"
   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!"
   Fhortan astrologer: "Everyone already knows LYT will rise every day. I need some way to make it more fun for my...clients."

((hector13: Fixed))

Fortuna suggests that stars be put up to make things more interesting, which Landria opposes. Landria maintains support for Wstfgl becoming the moon.

Katzerie has created the Sky Wolves, large, flying wolves that hunt in the sky. Katzerie also checks on the Dagomoths and finds that they are doing fine, spreading sharp crystals all over their dwellings both as art and as animal traps.

Mani responds to some prayers:
   Anansi explorer: "What's with their optics?"
   Mani has attached braking rotors to the rolling tester's body. One of them snaps off while negotiating a cliff, but the tester finally slows to a stop, dazed, disoriented, and feeling light-bodied.
   Anansi builder: "That explains LYT's name! How scandalous!"

Zenrach has created two units of Turistians. (Zenrach: -8E) Zenrach was incapacitated by the effort.

Xislo has expanded leyline coverage using 5E. (Xislo: -5E) Gandtrael has contributed 2E toward the leylines, attempting to make them mind leylines. (Gandtrael: -2E) The leylines are now past half-finished.

The White/Blue branch appear to be concentrating their efforts on making mana wells for the purpose of making leyline magic more accessible. The Red school have been encouraged to promote their services as bodyguards for explorers.

LIGHT has created THE HEAVENS to allow the faithful to become stars, generally barely visible.
 LIGHT has taught the Maisse about navigation techniques based on LIGHT, the Sharim about artificial crystals, using salty irrigation as a demonstration, taught the Hastani about scientific rigor, and taught the sighted Terminae effective light placement.

*The LIGHT looks through the Sharim, Maisse, and Hastani, inspecting their civilizations. The Sharim seem not to have gained a strong identity, generally assimilating into other races' systems and using their unique talents as applicable. The settled Maisse, too, have mostly blended with the rest of the people of Jannah, although they engage in various LIGHT-specific practices, including greeting LIGHT at sunrise, praising LIGHT at noon, and parting with LIGHT at sunset. The nomadic Maisse have adopted a geriarchical system, turning to the oldest Maisse fit to lead to make decisions on their travels, to represent themselves in meetings with others, to decide the settled-nomadic balance of Maisse and to commune with LIGHT on their behalf. Their practices with regards to LIGHT are similar to those of the settled Maisse, but most include an hour of calling for LIGHT to come before sunrise.

*NCU

The LIGHT has chosen a champion who best demonstrates martial ability, scholarship, and integrity! (LIGHT: -11E)

Mumuski has created the Choir Invisible, an afterlife which, at its closest to the mortal realms, leaks appropriate background music.

The Zwerg seem to be doing well technologically, still being occasionally challenged by the beastmen raids. They have come up with new building techniques and fortifications directed toward hampering beastmen attacks.

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?>

Gandtrael continues the telepathy campaign, which is drawing increasing suspicion from the more magically familiar races. The Gratacans have started building the Gratacan Academy of Modern Research. Gandtrael has sent circuses out to the races and ordered the Gratacans to mine heavily. The most pious have begun building shrines everywhere, and the Gratacans have begun forming a decent military. The more adventurous have been sent out to sign up with pirate crews.

Sadiq has founded the Mechanical Madrassah, essentially a living mechanical building, in Jannah's Gold district, and it quickly becomes a popular tourist destination and pilgrimage site for the mechanically minded. The Arch-Chancellor Culler-In-Red and Personal Assistant Stubber-of-Ponds lead the studies there -_-. Sadiq has also founded the Greater Jannah Educational Institute, a more general educational Scorim-led program which Sadiq has boosted. (Sadiq: -1E)

The Ishim have been taught again about waterwheels and windmills. Following a fit of railroad mania on Sadiq's part, the Scorim have carpeted Jannah with rails, although there are no official vehicles to travel on the rails yet. Perhaps inspired by the unexpected appearance of rotting vegetables and carcasses at the Djinnmarket, Sadiq has begun encouraging a pharmaceuticals industry in Jannah.

Sadiq listens to his friends' prayers:
   Ishim administrator: "Friend Sadiq, tell the people that they cannot keep sending trash to the Djinnmarket!"
   Sharim scribe: <Our paper is heavier and larger than the others' paper. What should we do to fix this?>
   Scorim engineer: "How does no one else know about anything!?"

There are unconfirmed rumors of magnets meeting together in secret, plotting to overthrow the gods.

Mani attempts to twist Captain Praven's investigation.

Mani has sent explicitly pre-designed plans for thin metal caps enchanted against telepathy.

"Yay! Mani can afford this now! Time for HERO MAKING!"

Mani rustles, releasing a cloud of metallic debris around himself. Probably non-malevolent magnets appear near the center, condensing the cloud as random arcs of electricity flow through the cloud.

"Lets see, Anansi are fun! Mani will make one of them! They are cool because they have tons of arms and roboty parts! So lets give her another pair of arms and legs, extra smartness and strongness and toughness! She'll lead Section One, so Mani will call her Ichi! Then this, and that and this and...."

The electricity grows more and more intense, ending in a blinding flash as the creation is finally forms.

Spoiler: Ichi (click to show/hide)

A Divine Anansi Hero/Agent of Mani, significantly (though cosmetically) changed in physical shape. Rather than the normal head/thorax/etc of a spider, Ichi's main body is humanoid, with eight normal Anansi limbs jutting out of her back. The main body's mechanical parts are covered by synthetic skin, allowing Mani to easily assess any damages done to the system. She has long black hair in a ponytail, because putting an extra arm there would just be impractical, and ruby-lensed eyeglasses suitable for future enchantment.

"Yay! Its good to have friends! Hoi Ichi! I'd like you to take a leadership position in Section One as my Archangel! This will be super fun!"

   Anansi explorer: "What's with their optics?"

"They are tainted and shoot gems or something. Mani said he wasn't paying attention! They are probably pretty good targets though!"

   Mani has attached braking rotors to the rolling tester's body. One of them snaps off while negotiating a cliff, but the tester finally slows to a stop, dazed, disoriented, and feeling light-bodied.

"Success? Yay! Mani loves successes!"

Anansi builder: "That explains LYT's name! How scandalous!"

"Wow! Mani didn't notice that! Nice catch!"

There are unconfirmed rumors of magnets meeting together in secret, plotting to overthrow the gods.

"Mani taught them too well! They have turned against their masters!"

Listen to prayers

Encourage some of the Sharim to become more Nomadic. Those that have the urge. Help as needed.
Encourage institutions of worship of LIGHT to also be places of learning and knowledge. We may teach the TRUTH to others, both spiritual and physical.

8E: Create 2 Units of Ishim.
0E: Determine if the trash originally deposited at the Djinnmarket was a fluke, part of the structure's functions or something else. After this, clear the trash away.


Prayer answers:
Sadiq listens to his friends' prayers:
   Ishim administrator: "Friend Sadiq, tell the people that they cannot keep sending trash to the Djinnmarket!"
   Sharim scribe: <Our paper is heavier and larger than the others' paper. What should we do to fix this?>
   Scorim engineer: "How does no one else know about anything!?"

Ishim admin: "Tut Tut. They aren't being very friendly, yes? Let me.work on this friend."
Tell the city heralds that they are to announce that littering, especially in the Djinnmarket, will result in a warning (first offence), fines (2nd-4th offence)  and then exile to top of the Mountain (final offence).
Sharim scribe: "This presents a chance for collaboration friend. Speak with your compatriots amongst the other species and learn from them. You might even make a friend, yes?"
Scorim engineer: "Ah, friend...reverse that question. Think why you know so much. Firstly, you are an engineer. That makes you smarter than most people, yes? Secondly, your species was gifted with innate information, true? Being technologically gifted, you clearly have an advantage over the other races, very true yes? That said, others can outpower you too. A Sharim can melt you before you can even think of a good machine while an Ishim will always be a better farmer than you, yes? These strengths combined however produce a most powerful force, something to be reckoned with. So to answer your question, no ones knows anything because they have other duties'; it is your duty to know and explain. Tiresome, yes? On bright side you can take pride in being better in many respects, yes?"
