New gods have arisen starting with an unusually cubic flame, an earthen giant, and a sky-blue lady.
World ideas due to pass include a serpent of ice with a spine of fire (P0001), a layered with pillars and oceans of water and fire (P0005), a world of fast islands with fire and ice (P0006), the existence of an underworld under the winning world idea for the unclaimed (P0008), and a world of halves (P0009).
((Constraints: Must be a non-spherical single world. Moons allowed if uninhabitable.))
((Warning: Failure to support at least one world idea will result in a 5E Essence tax.))
P0000: "Now if for some reason none of you plan to bow at my tentacles, let us discuss a thing or two about this world creation. I suggest a reef. Now, I may be a bit biased here, but here me out. Rather than a concrete, finite world, why not let Creation be built over time? Create grand grotto and populate it with titan-sized coral. As they die and add on to the reef, they'll create grand spires and other shapes out of their carbon structures. Course, none of this has to be underwater...unfortunately. Just allow these creatures to be born and die and they'll a grand many biomes and regions for us to share."

P0001: "Before the gods appears a shimmering illusion of a gigantic serpent made of ice. Within its centre is a spinal column of glorious fire, that melts the surrounding ice and provides light to the entire inside of the serpent, however the thick ice prevents much light from reaching the outer surface. Occasionally the serpent will breathe out fire and clouds of steam, which provides weather and seasons to its outer surface. Continents of moss and fungi cover the serpent while algae eagerly thrive in the energetic seas below, the first primitive life upon this new world. Over generations the moss slowly begins making a ground layer upon which more complex plants can grow. Soon they are joined by the first herbivores, and so on. Each day the gods brighten cyclically, providing light and sustenance to the outer surface, before dimming again, forming a day/night cycle."

P0002: "The serpent of ice is an intresting idea. But I think I would prefer filling creation with an ocean filled with islands, maybe some underwater air filled caves."

P0003: "Let This Be The Nature Of Our World! A Great Ocean, With Drifting Islands Great As Mountains Unto Themselves, Fathoms Deep, Blown By Storm, Current, And Whimsy! Where They Meet, Great Clashes Of Stone And Earth, Until One Is Conquered, Or Sent Away, Or Is Made To Perish! Where They Split, A Tremendous Rending, As Subject Rebels Against Master, And Battle May Be Rejoined With Vigor Another Day!"

P0004: "I believe that this planet should be... well, donut-shaped if you will, a torus. We could fill the hole in the center with a mighty ocean."

P0005: "Why dont we create a gigantic ocean with Islands. Then above this ocean there is a cloud ocean with floating cloud islands. Above that cloud ocean we have an ocean of flames withsome volcanic islands. These three layers are connected via pillars of Rock that spiral up and downward. "

P0006: "World formed from Fire to Ice, and goes from one to the other across it; extreme heat, fire, and molten rock on one end, extreme cold, ice, and frozen air on the other. In the middle, where they meet, rock is cooled and solidified to earth, while ice is melted and becomes ocean. The sun, if any, provides light but little warmth; most warmth is dependent on location. Each of these three realms occupies around the same amount of space; fire, ice, and temperate/oceanic. Around 20-30% of the temperate area is covered with 'islands' at any given time; these islands stretch seemingly endless down into the deeps (another 40% or so of the ocean is 'covered' with subaquatic landmasses that provide a bottom to the ocean; the rest seems to be bottomless, just as the ice sheets and scorching fires/roiling lava of their respective realms seem to go down forever; many of these subaquatic landmasses are attached to or portions of landmasses that do rise above the waves), and drift slowly, sometimes smashing into each other. These can cause the islands to become attached to one another, formed a larger island, smash apart one or both, or simply bounce (with a great deal more violence than that implies) off of one another. These islands can be very, very large, sometimes even continent, though larger islands will often eventually be subject to stresses that cause them to break apart. Because shards of their respective realms can be carried with them when land forms/breaks off into the ocean, there are both volcanoes of fire and of ice; when these collide, a tremendous battle is had by their respective forces, usually but not always ensuing in their mutual, though glorious, defeat. The weather patterns caused by perpetual lands like this should be pretty interesting, though not necessarily static. Bounded on one end by cold so intense that it does in fact reach the equivalent of absolute zero, and what amounts to the core of the sun on the other."

P0008: "Underworld where the dead await judgment/filing to other afterlives. All those who have no other afterlife stay there. Literally an underworld, underneath the world; it is not truly bottomless, it just seems like it. Has subrealms available/ready for each of the gods/assigned afterlives we decide on (afterlives never really get used for anything other than hiding out in at most and it's not like that actually does anything, certainly not specific to it being an afterlife). Also a realm of the gods but that's always sortof abstracted. The two gateways to this realm are in the fire and ice realms respectively, and both the journey to and the descent after are harrowing and difficult for all, regardless of adaptation to local climate. It's not easy to go into the underworld via non-dying means, dammit"

P0009: "Divide the World by Two Axis: Temperature, and Solidity. One Forth of the World is Hot Enough and Solid Enough to Burn. One Forth is Cold and Liquid in Most Parts. One Forth is Solid, With Streams of Molten Earth and Frozen Ice. And one is Too Hot to Totally Form, Leaving Chunks of Earth that are Stronger Floating About on Streams of Sand. The World Should Go Around the Sun, Filling the Space of the Bubble's Edge. The Sun itself I Suggest be Made Half of Fire and Half of DARK Fire, And Rotate In a Circular manner which Takes Approximately 302400 Seconds to Invert from its Starting Position. We may Have Glowing Orbs of Fire, Aligned into Various Patterns, Spread Out in the Sky as well if That is the General Preference."

P0012: "...lush and wet world. North is colder, leading to tundra and arctic. South is hotter, leading to deserts and volcanoland. Volcanoes are dotted around all, the north volcanoes rarely erupt, but last longer, while southern volcanoes erupt more often, in the far south they never stop. Far north has no volcanoes. Mountaintops are cold, if they don't erupt."

P0013: "So basically we should have a gigantic bird which carries the world on its back. He flies through the cosm and passes the stars he creates by farting. On his back you have normal space, right in the middle. Normal space is as Felicia described, a world with lush forests, mountains swamps oceans etc. It is mantled however with evenly portions of sphere related lands, so each god gets to choose one sphere represented as land."

P0014: "We can have a world with oceans of water and fire, in which masses of earth could be floating, yes? These patches of earth could range from small islands to mighty continents. Above these oceans and continents would span vast skies. Thus my friends, all elements could be represented in a single world."
