Manannan silently wonders whether this would count as fulfilling his prophecy.

"It does! I was just discussing the matter of the reward with the Carver. A God dying is unusual, and it's a first in my history. That should net you a novelty coin, I guess? And that's it though. Your prophecy had no detail at all, which makes it easier to fulfill in my eyes. Here is your reward!"
+1 Destiny Coin and some standing to Manannan.

Tachyon frowns at learning the development of Ma'Rook's 'reincarnation' during the reshaping of Anchor to be reborn again.

Maex frowns back, which is concerning because he has no mouth.

Honestly there is little left of my old self, my body is new, and my memories distant. I relish the future I have in store for this world and to work with my fellows to bring it to fruition.

Acter placed a blessing of reduced ruthlessness/viciousness on the moon. The wildlife may remain dangerous, and the mortals will still understand this and have what they used to drive them off, but the pace will kind of slow down a bit, to a point where the relationship is more akin to that that most civilizations have with their surrounding environment down on Dirt (that is, in areas unaffected by the Cataclysm). Herbivores will return to acting like normal herbivores, running/flying away rather than trying to kill everything, and plant poisons will be diluted. 1 GE

Ema: a Story of Gods
(OOC)

Pre-Cycle 13: The One of Discord

"Let us rekindle the flame."

On the 13th Cycle, the Primordial One of Discord graced Ema of its presence. Through the intermediary of Ema, the One of Discord brought lasting change to the universe. As per the Will of the One, the Cycle shall remain unrecorded.

"I will
And the Old System crumbles

I say
Only the Divine matters
In matters of the Divine.

I say
Divine existence and hierarchy are bound
In one and only eternal cycle

I will
And a New System rises

My will and say
Are Absolute."


The Standing and Importance systems have been destroyed, leading to a rework of the Hierarchy system.

Voting:
At the end of each 5th Cycle starting from the 15th Cycle, a Voting Phase ensues. All Major Gods can choose to give their support to a Primordial or Major God.

A Major God with the support of 3 Other Major Gods is promoted to the status of Primordial God.

Consequences of killing a God:
-Gods can no longer be properly killed. Instead, killing a God demotes it to Minor God status.
-The killer of a God, if themselves are a God, can choose to inherit the position of their victim. They will additionally benefit from demotion immunity during the next voting phase.

"I say
Rise"


All Minor Gods have become Major Gods.



------Fate Alteration------

"The Destruction that was is no more.
The Destruction that was is restored.

The Destruction of next
Will be stronger."

The clash between X'arilyg and Acter never happened. As such, the Cataclysm never happened. Instead, the One of Discord personally generated a disaster with the same consequences as the original Cataclysm.

And on top of it, another Cataclysm -even more disastrous- will occur at the end of the 13th Cycle...



The 13th Cycle hasn't yet begun, and all Gods may submit actions. The Cataclysm occured even without the clash of the Gods, as per the One of Discord's Will.

Ok, first off, get X'arilyg demoted to minor god. Nevermind.

Then, do the 1GE blessing previously stated - that is:

Acter placed a blessing of reduced ruthlessness/viciousness on the moon. The wildlife may remain dangerous, and the mortals will still understand this and have what they used to drive them off, but the pace will kind of slow down a bit, to a point where the relationship is more akin to that that most civilizations have with their surrounding environment down on Dirt (that is, in areas unaffected by the Cataclysm). Herbivores will return to acting like normal herbivores, running/flying away rather than trying to kill everything, and plant poisons will be diluted.

Further action will be taken once a plan is made to minimize the impact of the upcoming Cataclysm.

EDIT: Create an Improvement Aspect servant, and send them to prepare the mortals for what approaches, starting with the people of the moon and continuing off from there.

"Interesting. Excuse me I am going to borrow some of this to correct the mistake of a few gods."

Tachyon makes use of the remaining energies of Discord to restore the drogos civilization, leaving them an echoed memory and understanding that if they continue on the path of slavery they will have a worse fate than what was already shown and must leave their neighbors to live on their own and expand elsewhere. Only then will Tachyon award their hero a gift for his service and an oath of following a just path for the better of their society.
