[Demonic Spoon]

1E Action, Invoke Magic Sphere: Create a large glowing sapphire monolith carved with information on the magics of Earth and Air elementalism in the centre of the desert of Kragran. Topped by a large Pharactine symbol. Only those openly wearing Pharactine symbols can read what is written on the monolith.

[Demonic Spoon]

Not really? I just want a certain amount of acknowledgement from any who gain from me. It is hardly anything onerous.

0E: Define various measures and teach them to the Piacere:

Spoiler: Ruusukaija's System of Measures (click to show/hide)

Time:
As the world is an even disc orbited by a sun, every the time between two sunrises is always the same. This makes it usable as the basic unit of measurement. Barring that, the Hidden Week can be used to count a year.

1 year (y) = 2 seasons ("Roe" and "Harvest")
1 season (sn) = 3 collections
1 collection (cl) = 60 days
1 day (d) = 30 arias
1 aria (a) = 40 bars
1 bar (b) = 100 beats (bt)

1 Tick (T) = ???

The average creature's heartbeat is an acceptable estimate for the beat when no timekeeping device is available.

Distance/length:
An echo is the distance a sound can move to an object and back to be heard as an echo exactly 5 beats after it was made.

1 wail (wl) = 20 echoes
1 echo (e) = 500 words
1 word (w) = 80 whispers (ws)

The average Piacere is about 60 whispers tall.

Volume:
A bowl is the volume of a cube 20 whispers long on each side.

1 chamber (ch) = 64 bowls
1 bowl (bw) = 20 cups (cp)

Mass:
A colony is the apparent weight of a bowl of a particular type of coral. A model piece exists as a living polyp colony periodically shaved to stay consistent.

1 reef (rf) = 800 colonies
1 colony (c) = 20 grains (gr)

Temperature: Degrees Acqua (°A):
0°A: Freezing point of water at the pressure of 1 c/w².
40°A: Boiling point of water at the pressure of 1 c/w².

Tick 1.1: Dawn (with errata)

Gowler has created the expansive Desert of Kragran, populating it with desert wildlife. Here Gowler has created the Dunelings, desert humanoids, and instructing them in life in the desert. (Gowler: -14E) Mavnon, drawing from music and poetry, has raised the Honnes, which forms the eastern and northern border of the Kragran Desert, and the Lesser Honnes, which encloses the small Jokar Basin, a constantly foggy valley and site of perpetual conflict between hot and cold. Mavnon has also created the small savannah Drosierre to the north of the Kragran Desert. In the middle of Drosierre is the Lake Marteir, which has an extreme affinity for lightning. Ne'tharil has populated the areas near the Greater Honnes with many finely formed plants and animals, pushing those to the south to reach to the skies and creating the Ver'ton plain lands, Ki'row forest, and Mir'rog jungle and the explosively breeding apostrophe. Some of these animals, now known collectively as the E'lai'met, have been granted the Gift of Speech. (Ne'tharil: -9E) Lazan has sprouted the immense Arkagon Forest in the icy North and created the Flemish to inhabit it. (Lazan: -13E) East of the Honnes, Ruusukaija sings of storms and stranded ships, exposing the Heartbreak Lagoon, a typically stormy shallows where the wind whistles through the rock and coral. Underneath, the islands surrounding the Lagoon are connected by the winding Caverns of Echoes, which carry sound around for entire days.  Finally, Ruusukaija has created the Piacere and divided them into three groups living on three different islands. (Ruusukaija: -12E) Panzer has torn off a piece of the Disc continent, creating the new continent of Schwerland (Panzer: -9E) along with the Flammen out of a massive forest fire. The Flammen have been given basic instruction on what they must do to survive. (Panzer: -9E) Cliche has created the Yoonies, humanoids of four castes with a central ruling council, in an unspecified location. (Cliche: -16E) The effects of having a small even number of members are still unknown. Vimbr has scattered Fireblossoms throughout a nearby plane. Pisces has filled the oceans with teeming schools of fish of all colors and sizes. Morgon has shaped fog into the Vittovan in the deep, dark caves and forests of the world. (Morgon: -10E) Organech has created Cognots, large stone folk who thrive on minerals. (Organech: -18E)

Muda has created the Seconds, spirits inhabiting corpses of other races and taking on their properties which nevertheless despise the undead and necromancy.

Apparently satisfied with the recital, Mavnon has retired to Lake Marteir to meditate amidst the constant lightning.

Mavnon has designated the end of the year as the Hidden Week with Pharact's support, during which mist covers the entire world as the sun peruses its wardrobe for the next year.

Ruusukaija has sung a strange song from beyond the world.

Thus concludes the first cycle of creation.

Gowler has created Wostrichelves in the desert and taught the Dunelings about riding them. Gowler has also created more Dunelings. (Gowler: -4E) At Gowler's behest, Pharact has planted a large sapphire monolith containing information on Earth and Air elementalism and a large Pharactine symbol at the current center of the Desert of Kragran. Reading access is restricted to those wearing Pharactine symbols.

Ruusukaija has developed a system of weights and measures and taught them to the Piacere. Muda criticizes this effort as incomplete.

Create the Vitovan with 10 E
Basic Race with Enchantment and Illusion Affinities

Hairless, pale white and thin humanoids possessing spindly limbs and elongated faces. They dislike strong light and see particularly well with small amounts of lighting. Any location in which they dwell in large numbers will come to be blanketed by a thick dark fog that helps protect them from strong light.

Morgon has shaped fog into the Vittovan in the deep, dark caves and forests of the world. (Morgon: -10E)

No, I think you were right the first time. As an advanced race he could have created a bit less than 2 units for 10E, so at best they could have gotten to 2 pop units in the time between 1.0 and 1.1
