Tick 4.0: Evil daystarThe gods have become suns! Mixed opinions abound on this gloriously strange development.
Critter steaks a claim on Saron's corpse, which is still surrounded. Khavod, intending to whisk Saron away to be
marinated anointed with oil, roasts Critter for his in-sauce-ience. Following a brief philosophical exchange, Critter renounces his claim. Felicia arrives and also claims Saron's corpse, presumably asking Khavod to fork it over (Felicia: -1E). The Candlemaker requests a tiny piece of Saron's flame. Mother Winter refuses to allow Felicia access to the corpse, blocking Felicia's way and helping Khavod. (Mother Winter: -1E) Breeze warns Felicia off with an exciting warning/threat. Khavod presses his case further. (Khavod: -1E) After the steak barrier dissipates, Khavod and Mother Winter manage to spirit away Saron's corpse. The Candlemaker seems to have snatched a tiny piece of flame successfully.
Ciel responds to prayers:
The digger plods through a fresh tunnel, feeling its sturdy walls and listening to the tunnelers' progress but laments not having a body built for their tunneling.
Seeing the imperfection of crystal, the thinker throws a long tantrum and declares war on orderly perfection.
The carver praises Ciel and has taken to exploring the caverns, taking the time to pay close attention to the many interesting textures of the formations.
Ciel continues listening to prayers with slightly lowered standards:
Magn scout: "I hear some...different peoples"
Windbag mother: "Perfect! Your little storm almost got us killed! Go stay in that littlemountain!"
Firestorm storm: "What is more perfect than FIRE?"
Critter has collected and turned Firestorm and Worbur corpses into Fice with Khavod's assistance. They have an extreme fire-ice dimorphism and live on different sides of the world for most of the year. Strangely, they seem to be a lot stronger than expected. (Critter: -6E, Khavod: -5E)
The Candlemaker has created a timeless bubble containing an island, the Isle of Time, between the fire and the water seas. (The Candlemaker: -3E) The Candlemaker has also created more Ur'kid. (The Candlemaker: -2E)
The Candlemaker listens to prayers:
Ur'kid kid: "Is it true that you stole fire from the fire god and gave it to us?"
Ur'kid stargazer: "What have you done to the sun!?"
Ur'kid priest: "How do you drip candles properly?"
Khavod has created the Charkatan, a race of giants mostly restricted to the icelands with an affinity for ice magic and raiding their neighbors, unfortunately without Mother Winter's explicity help. (Khavod: -9E)
Breeze has chosen to become a blue sun and has also begun preparations for becoming the Thoughtflare, which may or may not have an effect depending on whether gods can choose their special effects at the moment. The existence of proposal P0022 may help or hinder this effort. Regardless, Felicia disrupts this attempt, attempting to eclipse Breeze.
Proposals require at least three (3) support votes to pass and a 65% supermajority. (supports/(supports + opposes))

+4 from Khavod, Breeze, The Candlemaker, glaciem the proud
P0023: "Druidic Magic: a mix of a variety of other magics, it tends to involve ritual and ceremony for most spells, and power is limited to a point by one's personal deeds; if one wishes to become a truly great Druid, one must go on mystic quests and all that jazz, in order to essentially achieve the glory necessary for the spirits/nature/magic to glorify you and allow you to work with it in such a way. Contains parts of ritual(uhh...yeah, sacrifice, basically), celestial(plenty of ingredients require harvesting under certain suns rather than others), and elemental magic (nature!), with small parts of necromancy(mostly communion with the dead and dealing with spirits), divine(nature/beast god), musical, and enchantment magic. Tends to be weaker than other schools of magic, or rather more subtle and less suited for direct assault or protection actions than others. The exact details of style/abilities tend to be unique to the subsect of druidism or the practitioner."
+3 from Khavod, Metis, The Candlemaker
P0024: "...that Felicia is returned to a natural form."
