Special abilities:

• King Under the Mountain: Can hide and fade away into myth/legend until the time is right. Provides no vassalage bonuses while asleep.

Spoiler: Ascension (click to show/hide)

Deities can, generally speaking, ascend by collecting enough votes or amassing enough power and notoriety.

• Voting: At least two gods must vote for the entity in question. The total voting power must exceed a certain threshold for the ascension to go through.
• Power and fame: Attracting the worship of mortals is one fast (but possibly risky) method of gaining some divinity. Solidifying or expanding influence on mortals is a good way to ascend further.
• Mantles: Claiming a Mantle immediately brings the deity in question to Overgod. Later descension (if any) will bring said Overgod down to Major God, not the initial rank.

Descension is also possible but possibly slightly more difficult.

Spoiler: Gaining Essence (click to show/hide)

Titans and Gods alike gain Essence by fulfilling the requirements for their various streams. Here are brief descriptions of the most likely streams:

• Worship: The active piety of mortal believers
• Recognition: The association between the divinity in question and Its spheres
• Conflict: Whether arguments and smitings or preparatory defense blessings
• Fealty: Being a vassal provides some Essence
• Vassals: Having vassals provides a decent sum of Essence.
• Mantle: The Three Mantles grant their bearers incredible power

There are other undiscovered routes to great amounts of Essence for divinities of great good or great evil...

Spoiler: Corruption (click to show/hide)

Corruption
Nothing is known about this mechanic (yet) other than that the Destinies are disinclined to provide Marble exchanges to divinities with visible corruption...

Obviously, this only pertains to evil and/or foolish divinities anyway, and surely those don't exist here. Moving on!

Spoiler: Manual labor (click to show/hide)

Some divinities are more equal than others, and the more equal of these occasionally struggle to muster the Essence required to perform an action. Manual labor comes to save the day for these cases! Each unit of Essence missing reduces the chance of this succeeding quite drastically (but Marvels can be consumed at 8EE per Marvel to help offset this).

Spoiler: Resources (click to show/hide)

Resources
Actions are consumed when doing things with any crunchy significance whatsoever. While free (~unaligned) actions can be used toward anything, aligned actions can only be used for vaguely sphere-related things. Aligned actions can be converted into free actions for half a wound's worth of Ichor from a god with at least one non-parallel/antiparallel sphere. Assuming the Ichor donor doesn't enter combat, the half wound will disappear at the start of the next Turn.

Essence is a measure of the creative strength of a divinity. It cannot be stored from Turn to Turn but is instead recalculated at the start of every Turn. Different ranks get Essence from different sources, and it's said that the most altruistic or evil gods can tap into unknown streams...

Flux is a representation of the ambient wild energies flaring at the beginning of the Titanic Age. Certain levels of Flux are required to create powerful things such as gods and worlds.

Ichor measures the vitality of a god. It is most frequently depleted by conflict and regenerates slowly with time. Ichor also has a few uses outside a god, one of them being the conversion of aligned actions into free actions.

Marvels come in 9 flavors and are used for various creations. Unlike Essence, Marvels persist from Turn to Turn. Here is a list of Marble flavors:

• Fire (elem): Used for various things involving fire, including anger and lava
• Air (elem): Used for various things involving the near sky, including clouds, lightning, and precision
• Water (elem): Used for various things involving water, including storms, ice, and quickness
• Earth (elem): Used for various things involving earth, including metal, melancholy, and reinvigoration
• AStral (sorc): The first source of magic, used for a wide variety of things involving the stars and magic, including magic systems, magic comets, and magic resistance[/color]
• Death (sorc): Used for various things involving death, including disease, undead, and false life
• Nature (sorc): Used for various things involving life and nature, including plants/animals, fairies, and regeneration
• Blood (sorc): The second source of magic, used for a wide variety of things involving blood and devils, including blood magic, summoning planar denizens, and strength
• Holy: Neither elemental nor sorcerous, used for things involving magic from the divinities, including blessings/smitings, the empowerment of creations to divine status, and courage

Spoiler: The Divine Hierarchy (click to show/hide)

Gods of different ranks can self-organize to form Pantheons. This provides noticeable bonuses to Essence income and (by default) removes the Recognition penalty for illicit use of one's sphere by Pantheon members.

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

Combat can be started between nearly any pair of entities and lasts at most 10 rounds. For entities under player control, please submit a combat plan based on the combat plan sheet. (Combat plans for inanimate objects are absurd and will be ignored.)

Each round follows a fairly standard scheme:

• Attacker rolls attack against defender's defense
• If the attacker rolls higher, roll damage less defender's protection
• Switch attacker to next combatant

As exploding dice are in play, it is theoretically possible but highly unlikely that the lowliest mortal can strike down an Overgod.

Spoiler: Destruction (click to show/hide)

Aside from applying destructive Interventions to specific creations, divinities can personally tear down the pylons of their rivals. This is implemented as something like combat against the target.

At high Flux, destructive Interventions are extremely cheap.

Spoiler: Creation, procreation (click to show/hide)

Creation is fairly simple. Design something, pay for it, and enjoy it.

Procreation is also fairly simple. Find something, . Between divinities, this only works with willing participants. It is recommended that the feistier deities avoid going against the wishes of mortals lest bad things happen.

Between deities, procreation is likely to result in offspring with intermediate traits. The more closely aligned or antialigned two deities' spheres, are, the lower the probable divine rank of the child (not to mention other abnormalities).

Destinies

Spoiler: The Destinies (click to show/hide)

[arial]Arial[/arial], Destiny of the Weird Dawn and Bearer of the Mantle LUJ, presides over births, beginnings, and the past.
[verdana]Verdana[/verdana], Destiny of the Word Day and Bearer of the Mantle XOS, apportions fortune and life and governs the present.
[lucida]Lucida[/lucida], Destiny of the Should Dusk and Bearer of the Mantle TER, holds dominion over death, endings, reversals, and the future.

Outside the services they provide for gods with more Essence than Marbles, the Destinies can often be bargained with for various favors (always for a "reasonable" price).

Spoiler: The Pillars of Reality (click to show/hide)

Verdana's pet project. One unformed Pillar is given to each incoming Titan to stabilize creations and even the universe itself.

Spoiler: The Tapestry of Fate (click to show/hide)

The handiwork of the Destinies. Perhaps Lucida could be convinced to reward divinities correctly guessing what comes next with Marvels?

The Destinies may be pushed to intervene should their efforts fall short of the state of the world.

Spoiler: The Universal Scales (click to show/hide)

Not much is knownn of these mysterious objects but that most of the gods will say they want them balanced while wanting them favorably balanced.

Spoiler: The Wheel of Fortune (click to show/hide)

That such a horrid, monstrous artifact exists within the Closet of Fate is a sure sign that the Destinies are not benevolent entities.

Creation descriptions

Spoiler: Living things (click to show/hide)

Divines
Major Gods (2H+2+14EE or 1H+3+10EE at high+ Flux) (requires Flux): Second only to the Titans and Overgods in power, the quarrelsome Major Gods are key players in the administration of Creation and the divine hierarchy. Although sometimes out of touch with their mortal followers, worship and recognition nonetheless make up most of the average Major God's income.
Minor Gods (2H+1+10EE or 2H+6EE at high+ Flux) (requires Flux or procreation): Although noticeably less powerful than Major Gods, the Minor Gods are known for their finely tuned Sight and are well equipped for the business of handling mortal affairs. Worship and liege subsidies make up most of a typical Minor God's Essence income.
Archangels (1H+1+8EE or 1H+4EE at high+ Flux) (requires Flux): Powerful servants of the higher gods, Archangels listen to mortals, announce the proclamations of their masters, and otherwise extend a god's reach in the Material. Unlike Demigods, Archangels cannot ascend to the rank of Minor God simply by receiving votes. Their Essence income derives from recognition of their works and having a liege.
Demigods (1H+1+8EE or 1H+4EE at high+ Flux) (requires Flux or procreation): Scions of the Major and Minor Gods or ascended Quasigods, Demigods are the lowest divinities capable of channeling Essence. Unlike Archangels, they can ascend to the rank of Minor God simply by collecting enough votes. Like Archangels, however, their Essence income is largely made up of recognition and liege subsidies.
Quasigods (1H+1+6EE or 1H+3EE at high+ Flux): The weakest independent entity with a divine spark, Quasigods are typically birthed by demigods. They are otherwise comparable to great heroes in stature.
Greater angels/demons/servants (1H+4EE or 1H+2EE at high+ Flux): Greater angels/demons/servants make for reasonable custodians of divine planes and mortal states.
Lesser angels/demons/servants (1H+2EE): Cheap and capable of little independent thought, lesser angels/demons/servants can help keep afterlives working smoothly.

Heroes
Legends/Hero Gods (1H+1+6EE or 1H+3EE at high+ Flux): Equivalent in divine rank to the Quasigods, Hero Gods differ only in that they were once exceptional mortals. Indeed, those who arise naturally are noticeably more powerful than those fashioned by godly hands.
Major heroes/villains (1+4EE): The Destinies focus their collective attention on major heroes and villains, whose skills and abilities far exceed that of the average mortal. As their duties are to save/ruin the day, they can often be found at the epicenters of sundry disruptive apocalyptic plots.
Minor heroes/villains (1+2EE): Minor heroes and villains are skilled mortals useful for doing little mortal things. With time and experience, they can surpass the natural limits of mortal power.
Named extra (Free): Named extras are created to bring flavor to ongoing events and are average in every respect. Some, however, persist after their initial appearance, and those protected by the Destinies have the potential to become great heroes and villains.

Sapients
Mortals (2+3EE for first pop unit, 1+2EE for subsequent pop units): The worship of mortals is the main fare of gods big and small, and their struggles and conflicts matter more than their size and scope would suggest.
Planar denizen (free): Planar denizens are intelligent creatures capable of survival in planes other than the Material Plane but providing no useful worship. They make excellent planar welcoming committees for gods both good and evil. They cannot, in general, survive for very long in the Material Plane.

Slightly powerful flora/fauna
Some animals and plants, regardless of whether science can replicate or understand them, have very interesting and/or useful properties. This category covers such things as tireless horses and supernutritious corn.

Mundane plants/animals
Other creatures have no obvious use but to help make the world a livelier place. This category covers those. Magically glowing plants, gold-concentrating marigolds, and echoing songbirds, for example, fall under this category.

Exceptional monsters
All exceptional monsters, from the lowly Lesser Monster to the towering Behemoth are resurrectively immortal and will return to devastate the world if not dealt with properly. This ranges from simple things like the use of silver against werewolves (Lesser) to the destruction of a specific nigh-indestructible Unique artifact (Behemoth/Leviathan/Ziz). Greater and Behemoth-tier Monsters can be given the ability to propagate monstrous species same (e.g. vampires) or different (e.g. zombie plagues).

Behemoth/Leviathan/Ziz (1sorc+1+6EE): Behemoths, Leviathans, and Zizim are terrors of the land, sea, and sky. They make attractive targets for heroes and villains alike but for entirely different reasons and are capable of laying waste to entire regions over time if left unchecked.
Greater Monster (1+4EE): Greater Monsters are the bread and butter of heroic quests and villainous plots. They are powerful enough to threaten entire mortal realms unless stopped.
Lesser Monster (1+2EE): Lesser Monsters can go a long way to terrorizing unprepared communities.

Monster species
Actively hostile/harmful creatures fall into this category. Although they lack the resurrective ability exceptional monsters possess and are thus individually less durable than single-speciment monsters, the eradication of a monster species is still a formidable task.

Spoiler: Ginormous non-living things (click to show/hide)

World Seeds are special constructs given by the Destinies to gatherings of divinities interested in building worlds. Seeds are "reusable" to the extent that they can be built on again an unlimited number of times once their contents have been disposed of. Nothing built outside a World Seed is inhabitable by order of the Destinies.

Sun Seeds are the stellar analogs of World Seeds, but multiple suns can theoretically be built from one Sun Seed provided they still function as a unit.

Magic moons, constellations, planets, and comets provide effects of some kind when certain conditions are met. "The" comet in particular is a terrifying harbinger of instability. Mundane moons, constellations, planets and comets provide some decoration but are otherwise inert. No moons or planets are habitable.

Moon effects tend to fire every few months.
Planet effects fire anywhere between every few years and every few centuries.
Constellation effects tend to fire yearly.
Comet effects tend to fire anywhere between yearly and every few centuries.
"The" comet fires when it will.

Unreasonably frequent events may be vetoed at the Destinies' discretion to keep things from falling apart too quickly.

Material places
Places can be marked as having neighbors (of comparable size class). Should not enough places have neighbors, Arial will swoop in and rearrange them until there are enough adjacent places.

Continents are large landmasses capable of holding multiple Regions with areas on the order of several tens of millions of square kilometers. Oceans are aquatic analogs with comparable areas on the higher end of the scale.

Regions are more-or-less contiguous areas within Continents and occupy on the order of several million square kilometers. This image displays Earth divided into 15 roughly Region-sized areas:


Great Seas and Archipelagos are aquatic analogs of Regions with different amounts of land.

Countries are contiguous areas within Regions and cover on the order of several hundreds of thousands kilometers squared. Shown below are several Country-sized areas from Earth:


Seas are the aquatic analogs of Countries and are comparable in surface area. The greatest of reefs also occupy roughly the same area.

Provinces and Great Lakes and Islands have areas on the order of several tens of thousands of kilometers squared. Shown below are several Province-sized areas from Earth:

Locales, Lakes, and Isles are roughly city-sized parcels with areas on the order of several thousand square kilometers. Populations of mortals founding communities will spawn fairly mundane locales. Created locales can be tweaked more freely.

Planes
Note: Nothing living in a plane provides Worship.

Realm planes are the palaces of the gods. Resting in one's plane provides faster healing and a boost scaling with divine rank.
Lesser planes are suitable as afterlives, storage dimensions, wells of magical power, and most other applications.
Greater  planes work well for larger-scale projects such as gateway networks, pantheon-wide afterlives, celestial bureaucratic offices, and other such things.

Spoiler: Small non-living things (click to show/hide)

Artifacts come in a number of tiers which determine who can use them and how effectively:

• Titanic: Intended for Titans, anyone at least as powerful as a Minor God can wield them safely. Lesser divines will be injured and non-divines struck down should they try to channel the power of Titanic artifacts. Titanic artifacts are effectively indestructible; any attempt to destroy one would require a serious undertaking. These unimaginably powerful artifacts are known to have esoteric effects, and their very presence can bend the rules of the entire universe.
• Divine: Divine artifacts are best wielded by Major Gods, but even Demigods can wield them safely. They are still powerful enough to wound incautious Quasigods and heroes and outright kill mortals. It is nearly impossible to destroy Divine artifacts. Their power is such that they can passively affect entire continents, oceans, or planes through their presence.
• Lesser Divine: Lesser Divine artifacts tend to be equipped by Minor Gods are noticeably less powerful than (Greater) Divine artifacts, and as a result, even Quasigods can wield them safely. Should they be focused entirely on a specific effect, they can affect entire Regions.
• Unique: Most Unique artifacts are dangerous for untrained mortals, and even the greatest of heroes would do well to handle these with care. Although Titans and Overgods laugh at their relative weakness, even Major Gods can wield them effectively.
• Very Powerful: These artifacts can best be applied by the lesser divinities and heroes; they are very much ineffective in the hands of Major Gods, Titans, and Overgods. As with all powerful artifacts, mere mortals should be cautious when using these fine instruments.
• Powerful artifacts: Although useless for true gods (i.e. those at or above Minor God in rank), Powerful artifacts can be handled with impunity by anyone at all (assuming the artifacts are not of a naturally unwieldy form), from the nameless mortal to the hopeful Demigod.
• Weak artifacts: Weak artifacts are comparable with the typical handiwork of professional mortals. They are well suited for use by Minor Heroes, but anything with any measure of the divine spark at all will find these artifacts rather inefficient.
• Trinkets: Trinkets are simply mundane artifacts with some use as equipment, e.g. cheap armor and weapons, fancy clothing, onion carriages, &c.

Artifact sets
Artifacts can also be created in sets for a slight discount. The result is equivalent to four pieces of the specified tier of artifact.

Spoiler: Abstract things (click to show/hide)

Edicts
Titanic Edicts: The world is limited to a total of 5 Titanic Edicts, which can have such effects as allowing world-creation/modification without Flux, add new divine ranks, remove divine ranks, alter/nullify Essence income sources, alter Ichor amounts, allow for multiple worlds, manipulate the effects of divinity death, and prohibit certain classes of creations. They are extremely difficult to undo once pronounced.

Divine Edicts: Divine Edicts can affect even the gods by creating/modifying/nullifying Essence income sources, changing voting power, and allowing the Major and Minor Gods to breed true among countless other things. They can also be used to place gods under binding agreements, for which there are substantial discounts available for providing long agreements and loopholes.

World Edicts: World Edicts affect the whole world and can do such things as define sources/systems of magic, provide general persistent blessings/curses, and many other world-spanning effects.

Regional Edicts: Regional Edicts are limited to Regions and can be used to make all forests within a Region unnavigable, improve the fertility of the land, provide some measure of an existing resource (magical or otherwise), slowly change weather patterns, and other such Region-wide effects.

Interventions
Interventions are like transient Edicts. They are to be used when an instantaneous blessing/cursing/smiting is needed, e.g. fireballs, lightning strikes, rainstorms, sandstorms, luck blessings, fertility blessings, blightings, and healings. The most powerful of these, the Titanic Intervention, can be used to destroy a world outright at extreme Flux (Note that the World Seed the world in question is built on remains intact through this process).

Exceptionally generic fluff may blunt the effects of Interventions.

• "Smite the arrogant mortal" (bland)
• "Call down a lightning strike on the arrogant mortal" (OK)
• "Dark clouds gather over the arrogant mortal as he continues his torrent of ill-advised invective against the gods. The gathered crowd can do nothing but cower and point to the skies, and even this is soon interrupted by a blinding flash of lightning from above. All that remains of the boastful braggart's hubris is a pile of ash and the lingering smell of ozone." (Also OK)
• (insert 500-word essay on horripilation, boiling flesh, and the bloodcurdling screams of Mr. Arrogant Mortal) (TMI;DR)

Marvels
Titans, Overgods, and Major Gods without visible corruption can purchase Marbles and Marble-related boons from the Destinies. As Marvels are generally randomly selected, the bias boons weight the dice in favor of certain classes of Marble. These boons can be applied to multiple willing divinities at no extra cost should the purchaser allow it, but with the exception of the Essence-costing bias boon, these will not stack but instead replace existing buffs.

Specialty: Rebuilder
Preferred Mantle: Light
Nemeses (if any): Glacter, the Moon. Also, anyone who doesn't like volcanoes.

Specialty: Creator

Spheres (limit 2): Godkilling devices, mechs
Specialty: Creator
Preferred Mantle: Might
Nemeses (if any): Rebuilders... all of them.
Description/background: Giant vaguely humanoid machine made of impossible shapes. Was originally an artificial god built by mortals, that has escaped their control to do its own thing. May or may not be 1.9 billion sentient weasels masquerading as a titan... SOMEHOW!

Spoiler: The Defender (KingMurdoc) (click to show/hide)

]Name: The Defender
Spheres (limit 2): Justice, Healing
Specialty: Rebuilder
Preferred Mantle: Might
Nemeses (if any): Any and all deities that bring wanton destruction, those that attack and undermine others unfairly. (Those that use underhanded tactics to do good are excepted.) All corrupt deities. To a lesser extent, deities associated with disease and decay.
Description: Takes a varying form depending on who he deals with, typically preferring an armored form teetering on the edge of practicality and opulence, with subtle but impossibly fine engravings that record the history of the various worlds as the Defender remembers it; the body the armor covers is nondescriptly humanoid (and faceless) without context, but will change to become an unusually large specimen of whatever race he is currently interacting with.

Spoiler:  Zo'Vass the Undoer (Ardent Debater) (click to show/hide)

Name: Zo'Vass, The Undoer, He Who Undoes, The Sealed Eye, The Downward Force
Spheres (limit 2): Destruction, Desolation
Specialty: Rebuilder
Preferred Mantle: Sight
Nemeses (if any): "If I am Forced, Let It Be The Fourth Banner and Forbidden Observer to break upon me. The Creation is flawed, the hubristic works of mortal-kind must be undone, and the chronicled lore left untold."
Description/background: Zo'Vass the Undoer manifests as a flawless sphere, its perfect surface marred by churning waves of malice and turbulent ripples of disdain. It emanates a seething fog that seems to corrode all within it, and its visage fills those present with dread. He is not THE Incarnation of Entropy, rather, He claims to be a facet of Its Vision, and vows to see Its Will Be Done.

Preferred Mantle: LIGHT
Description/background: All things must end. Even the Titans are the end of an age. For where now is that Primordial Chaos, that unmarred canvas waiting to be shaped, free of blemish or mark? So too, will they end, and their end mark the beginning of something new...

Spoiler: The Thirteenth (IcyTea31) (click to show/hide)

Name: The Nameless Thirteenth Titan
Spheres (limit 2): Exceptions.
Specialty: Shaper
Preferred Mantle: Light
Nemeses (if any): The Forbidden Observer (there is no one truth), The Last (boundaries are made to be broken). In general, those who try to limit themselves and others to rigid rules.
Description/background: It's a world of rules. The Rule of Threes, the Rule of Sevens, the Rule of Thirteen Minus One. But no rule is perfect, for their makers aren't perfect. Something is always forgotten, something the rule-maker could never even conceive of. The Thirteenth is the unplanned Titan; there were only supposed to be twelve. How appropriate, then, that the Lord of Exceptions is the exception to that plan.
The Thirteenth varies its form often. Almost always, it's some sort of animal, except when it isn't.
