[Panzer, The Bestest God and Bestest Armor]

"Hm... need, more."
Panzer creates 3 units of Futhark Menschen, a Basic race, for 12 Essence.

Spoiler: Rune People (click to show/hide)

Futhark Menschen

Futhark Menschen are like humans, but they have a natural affinity for enchanting, which also flows through their body rune.
Each Futhark Mensch is born with a rune on their body, it gives slight bonuses, barely noticeable, but it serves to drive them toward an occupation.
The location is related to it's effect. Rune on the head means a better mind. A rune on or below the eye, means better sight, side of head, means hearing or mind, and tongue or chin, is taste.
A rune on the chest, means either general health, or a better soul. Legs relate to speed or jumping.
The type of rune is also related to it's effect.

A Futhark Menschen can train to gain greater benefit from this rune, but it requires a lot of training, and it's related to their affinity for enchanting.
When they unlock more of the benefit of the rune, it grows, having more runes. But they can also generate new runes by doing so.
A Futhark Menschen covered in runes, is a powerful one indeed. Unless it's fake, and just drawn on their bodies.
You can't cheat, you gotta get them through enlightenment. Also Panzer don't like cheaters.

Panzer places 2 units of Futhark Menschen along the coasts of Schwerland, and 1 unit inland.
"Perfect, like it should be."

Ne'tharil responds to his followers prayers, starting with the frog E'lai. "No, they do not. At least for the moment, nor do any other insects for that mater." Then they move onto the turtle E'lai. "If your shell was of stone it would most likely be heavy and encumbering, however for you I will grant your wish and give you the strength to not be encumbered by your new shell." Ne'tharil then grants the turtle E'lai's wish and gives it a stone shell and the strength needed to not be hampered by its weight, they then turn to the last prayer, the weasel E'lai. "Do you have any idea why that might be? I cant exactly help without details. So, mind telling me those deals and why no one believes them should you know why."

[Demonic Spoon]

Pharact twirls and twists as his words travel to all the gods of the bubble:

Divine peers. A proposal on fleshing out the system of magic of this world, which would require fellow god support to realize. Such support, or suggestions to improve the proposal, are requested:

Magic functions via connections, and sympathy. In short, like effects like. Elementalists form miniature elemental replicas of large scale things they wish to affect, then manipulate the model to effect the original. Taking material from the target increases the strength of the connection and thus magic, for example, a magical doll of a rival with some of his plucked hair placed in it, so you could torture him using the doll.

Factors effecting connections are distance, similarity, familiarity with the target, whether the target can currently be sensed, knowledge of the target's secret truename, and more probably.

A mage could spy on a friend they are very familiar with who is ten miles away with the crystal figurine made to look like him, celestial mages draw power for spells from the stars through the connection of the stars with their past lives on the planet, divine mages use the principle of sympathy to imitate the miracles of the gods, the spell being fake worshipped as a fake god until it gains enough power.

Enchanters use the parts of powerful creatures to imbue a connection with that strength in the arms and armour they create, psymentalists use the mental bridge connected by two people meeting their eyes to perform mind magic, necromancers use the sympathy a departed soul had with their corpse to take power from the soul and its afterlife to power the corpse or talk with the dead, and so on.

The gods may hand down tokens to favoured mortals, granting them a connection to that god which can then be used to perform powerful magic, with the danger of the connection potentially being used against the god.

Salutations.

1E Action, Invoke Magic Sphere: Create the second Magic Monolith, a towering edifice of shining emerald engraved with knowledge of Fire and Enchanting Magic at the centre of Schwerland, visible across the entirety of the subcontinent. Topped by a large Pharactine symbol. Only those openly wearing Pharactine symbols can read what is written on the monolith.

"On the topic of enchanters. Do you mean only animals or other forms of life?"

[Demonic Spoon]

"On the topic of enchanters. Do you mean only animals or other forms of life?"

I was providing general examples. The system is supposed to be very flexible. A skilled and creative enchanter could imbue armour with a connection to water, allowing the wearer to swim more easily or be better at water elementalism. Perhaps a sword could be given a connection to the poisonous properties of a certain type of plant or fungi, or use the moment of impact to forge a vampiric connection with an opponent it strikes.

[Detoxicated]

"I welcome your effort to follow my advice.  Your System Sounds nice. "

Tick 5.0: Lifting of the Fog

Muda has created the Loop to re-reincarnate the Mudans. A Muda from the future has come along to shake hands with Muda. Muda then travels back in time to shake Muda's hand before returning to the present.

Vimbr has created the flame river, which is not (yet?) fun enough to be set on fire. The Embrears build their first town around it.

Panzer has created the Futhark Menschen, a race of runed humanoids with an aptitude for enchantments, placing most of them along the coast and some of them inland. (Panzer: -12E)

Cliche has created the Kharis, a race of powerfully oratorial intrepid reporters. (Cliche: -9E)

Ne'tharil responds to prayers:
   Frog E'lai: "Yummy!"
   Turtle E'lai: "Thank you, Ne'tharil. I shall take goood care of this wondrous gift."
   Weasel E'lai: "I say I have this nice warren, barely used, now for free! A very nice warren from a very clean family of rabbits used only for half a winter! But everyone turns the offer down!"

Mavnon has sent out job requests for intrepid reporter types! A dozen rush over, but per a certain cliche, all but one disappear.

Lackopiene has arisen!

Gowler has guided the dunelings toward settling at Farankofor.

Gowler has created the chalice of dunes, a chalice which grants the ability to control dunes when filled with sand. (Gowler: -11E)

The Pharactine dunelings have been instructed to respect Pharact and defend Farankofor with sand magic.

Pharact proposes to define magic as fundamentally sympathetic. Only Gowler has expressed sympathy for this concept so far.

Pharact has erected another Magic Monolith, this one focusing on Fire and Enchanting, at the center of Schwerland. (Pharact: -1E) It is said to be visible from anywhere on the subcontinent.

Organech has created Tics and Toks. (Organech: -3E)
