Turn 1: ConventionAnd so, gods set about creating the worlds.
The greed-god Breex was the first to lay claim to creation, creating the a world of verdant forests and plains. Populated with many forms of life, he prized the Tik as the greatest of his living hoard. Apes with a lack of craftiness or great thought, they instead bore strength and patience, as well as complete allegiance to their creator god. Innocent creatures, their god bade them to explore their world and find anything of worth add to the godly reserve. They did this without complaint or even, the ability to complain. The Tik were simple folk.
As fate would have it, the Tik faced horrors upon horrors. In their quest to appease their god, many Tikkites committed to outlandish deeds, journeys and idiocies in an attempt to find the oddities of creation. Some flung themselves off cliffs so as to collect precious minerals jutting out of the stone. Some launched themselves at great beasts, hoping to attain their pelts and horn. Others, madder yet, jumped headfirst into the seas, were many drowned or were devoured. Those that returned were often mutilated, sad individuals with many horrific tales of fright.
And yet, they had done something were all others had died, they had returned with trinkets. Odd stones, misshapen horns and colourful shells! Yes many had died, but their deaths had not at all, been in vain. For their accomplishments, these survivors often sired the next generations of Tikkites and their mutilations a sign of respect and piety. In some places, these lineages became chiefs or shamans of their respective clans and troupes and many youths of the Blood continued in their forefathers tradition, with many more dying in the attempt. As a price however, many Tikkite souls perished, never to give life again.
Where the world of the Tik was filled with verdant greenery, the world that Wakan-He formed was one of rugged stone. Its surface was hospitable, if not the most life-giving. Even so, life did eventually come to form. Small plants and smaller lifeforms grew, often with growth seasons dependent on the rains. For the most part scaled or feathered, the small lifeforms of Lakota were given to a cycle of hardship and feasting, depending on the rains that all life relied on. Even in areas were water was abundant, such as the snow-tipped mountains or shallow lakes, most life preferred their arid adaptations that allowed them to inhabit wide expanses. Even with this life however, Lakota was still a world lacking in intelligent life.
Of course, this did not stop the Cursed Iron from interfering. Its metal tendrils seeped into both Lakota and Tik, surrounding their planetary cores with the essence of the Iron itself. In time, the Iron Touched all the minerals of both world. Though seemingly harmless, the Touched minerals would offer the essence of all slain with them to the Cursed Iron. For now however, with the Tikkites knowing only of stone tools and Lakota bereft of intelligent life, the Iron brooded without sacrifice and without the much desired essence.
Durris, aloof and uncaring for the creations of his comrades, headed to the centre of the Bubble and created there the Eversun, the star that would feed the rest of creation. Around it he placed mall planetoids, the Seven Moons. Scattered on each of the moons were sparse ecosystems specially adapted to the extreme conditions and amongst these were the Salamanders, who themselves were made in Durris' image. As Durris watched over his creations, he finally made for himself his own abode, Durris' Rest. Here he would rest and while away the eons, as his creations grew and destiny unfolded upon him.
However, just as Durris entered his fortress, Taro announced himself to creation. Turning upon Lakota, he replaced the arid ecosystems of the world with those more suited to wetter and colder conditions. Thousands upon thousands of organisms were killed or changed as the Life god set about creating his desired paradise. Of course, such creations were merely the foundations for something far better. As the ecosystems of the world stabalised, Durris created the Tarook who bore the form of their patron. Demigodly, the tarook were special. They were strong, quick-witted and agile and capable of reproducing far beyond what their forms suggested. Even discounting their physical attributes, their culture too was advanced from the outset. Holding piety in high regard, they established a single theocracy that catered for the needs of all tarook, as well as the needs of their great god Durris. Spurred on by the culture their god had given them, they soon advanced greatly, quickly creating an intricate organisational system that ensured all were routinely fed, taught, serviced and given the opportunity to worship. To them, life was indeed, good.
And so, the Wheel turned.
The worlds of Tik and Lakota are created.
The Eversun and the Seven Moons are created.
Durris' Rest is created.
The Tik, Salamanders and Tarook are created.
Void ActivityThe Bubble has not been secured. Forced entry into the Bubble is possible.
The Demon Atorax requests entry into the Bubble. Has offered 1 Act in exchange.
An Auchidibean Vessel requests entry into the Bubble as well as the right to Harvest planet(s). Has offered 1 Act in exchange.
An Oracle requests entry into the Bubble. Has offered 2 Minor Acts in exchange.Allowing a void entity entry into the Bubble is currently free, although it can be vetoed if a majority of gods oppose it. This does not count as a deed or act.
Demons: minor void entities, demons are born in Bubbles with high essence concentrations. While such beings may one day become gods if given sufficient worship, most demons are never able to attain such power and instead rely on trade, trickery or service to attain essence necessary for their continued survival.
Auchidonean: mortals hailing from the Bubble-sized god-world of Auchidon, they seek other Bubbles to extract precious matter to better furnish their gods as well as their hyper economies.
