Spoiler: Created/Altered Organisms (click to show/hide)

Name: Lightroot
Description: In its adult state, appearing like a bean-pod-plant that is both soft and fibrous, and yet very adaptable, the Lightroot can house plants of various origins within it, able to germinate seeds and giving non-magical conditions appropriate to the plant (unless the plant by itself is magical), able to feed both herbivore and carnivore while being resilient and durable in various climates, from cold to hot environments (although growth is slowed, the Lightroot can in itself live in such conditions if cultured and taken care of properly). It produces far more nutrients than needed, and is technically non-invasive due to being both independent and mutual in its relations with biological organisms--as shown by its bioluminescent and fragrant nature, copying the fragrance of the plants grown within them (to ward against pest insects or protect itself), while its bioluminescence provides signalling between lightroots to bond and grow with each other alongside being a form of messaging.  It is a very empathic species, and grows better in environments of peace given its creator's essence within it. It can be cooked by itself or with the produce of plants within it to act as rations or long-voyage food sources, even in its raw form. Lightroots are said to grow best when in the company of sapience, as compared to growth in the wilderness.

Appearance: Lightroot appears to be a succulent tuber, or a tube-like plant,  with or without roots (the fine magical eye would distinguish very minuscule 'hairs' growing on its surface, which act as its source of locomotion), able to subsist in humid to arid environments with differing textures depending on the climate and atmosphere; it can survive submerged underwater and can thrive in river environments, but bundles up and floats much like underwater kelp or seaweed rooted to the depths or floating midwater--it can not thrive in deep waters and merely requires air to produce for itself, with or without sunlight (given the many different colorations that are continuous to the biome it grows in). Lightroots react in a symbiotic relationship towards sapients, and are capable of very minor yet concise communications with those around them, producing the satiating need of the sapient if both would spend a long time around each other. Small pores or water sacs were used as evidence that they could even become a source of potable water rather than satiation, as different forms of lightroot exist--and different varieties can be found relying on each other in extreme cases in order to survive.

Name: Blood-berry Bush
Appearance: These bushes mostly resemble the Shrubs of the desert, blending in with them. But the leaves have crimson edges. Around their base, grows the Blood-berries. The Blood-berries have a black exterior, but inside, it's red as blood. They are very juicy, so when you eat them, it is difficult to not have it's juice leaking from your mouth. They can support such a juicy harvest due to it's roots burrowing deep underground, reaching reservoirs beneath. These Blood-berries are necessary for new plants to have the requisite water to burrow far enough to sustain itself. Otherwise it'd have to be watered constantly, until it roots reach deep enough.
Traits: Deep rooted, Slow initial growth, Juicy berries, Desert plant, Almost identical to common plant.

Name: Blood-berry Grande
Appearance: 3 times the size of a Blood-berry bush, and with leaves that are slowly dripping with juice. However, the largest difference is underground, where the root network is expanded to many times it's previous size.
Traits: The Blood-berry Grande's berries are big and nigh impossible to chew, with a relentless amount of fiber. But it boosts the growth of nearby Blood-berry Bushes by allowing them to tap into it's root network. But the Blood-berry Grandes will compete if put too close to each other.

Southern Polities


Basderieen Polities
Confederacy of the Heartminded (Tribal Confederation): Led by the Basderieen Lineage of Occhio D'intesa, they are vassals of Anka. Occupy the rugged plains bordering southern Anka.

Confederacy of the Farsighted (Tribal Confederation): Led by the Basderieen Lineage of Allwissendes Auge, they are vassals of a Tree Lover realm. They occupy the floodplains of the river Argu, which joins with the river Majate to become the river Err.

Ensisdom of The Badger Oasis (Aristocratic Council): Led by the Ensis, the Badger Oasis is ruled by a Holy Council consisting the local notables, including mishtraqchi.

Human Polities

Crab Tribe (Tribal Oligarchy/Meritocracy): A people of pygmies unified by their unwavering fear and awe of the spirit known as Shelldon, they venerate crabs. They believe them to be both the children of Shelldon as well as their ancestors. Many are blessed with crab-like features at birth and their shamans are known summoners of ancient crustacean spirits. In the wake of the Crab March, the Tribe experienced a great population collapse. Much of the tribe have taken to piracy, something they excel at.

Kingdom of Anka (Divine Monarchy): A realm established by River People refugees, they were once led by an immortal lugal. They primarily worship Fu and are known for their tolerance of many beliefs and cultures, as well as a focus on trade. The kingdom is known for its vast palace complex. Whilst the neighbouring Shipbuilder peoples are not subjects of Anka, they are so integrated into the realm that in many respects, they may as well be. The Confederacy of the Heartminded, a Basderieen polity, is a vassal of Anka.

Kingdom of Flint (Divine Monarchy): A realm patronised by Sarkyran, the people of Flint hold their foundational myth to be the flint-peace of Sarkyran. From that peace, tribes were able to found the supposed One and True Civilisation from the aid of golems. The kingdom is known for its fertile soils and unusually abundant fruit-bearing trees and succulent herbs. Though rich in trade and food, the native people are not wholly unified and very much disapprove of the notion that there is more than one god. Those who profess otherwise are not much liked in Flint.

Kingdoms of the Tree's Beloved (Monarchies and Republics): Realms of humanfolk who claim to be children of a great tree at the centre of their region, the Tree Lovers are known for their pastoral and easy-going nature. They are known vegetarians and disavowers of lightroot. Have a special relationship with dogs. Oft raided by the Flintish Folk. The Confederacy of the Farsighted are part of these Kingdoms and act as a march.

Tribes of the Shipbuilders (Tribal Meritocracies): Various tribes of people guided by the Water Spirits known by many names, they are oft allied with the Ankans and are heavily interwined with their kingdom.

Northern Polities

Human Polities

Chiefs' League (Tribal Confederacy): The western clans of the Lawful People who claim to follow the words and teachings of Tala to a purer extent than their eastern brethren. These clans are lead by their traditional chiefs, who are advised by councils of respected tribespeople. Egalitarian in nature, there is no one true leader amongs them, with the top-level 'policies' during the Chiefs' Meet being non-binding.  The clans are known mainly for their plantations of lightroot and crops, although the crab infestations and marches have terribly affected their yields. Are tributaries of the Great Horde.

Durham (Semi-Democratic Representative Oligarchy): The towns of the Durham oasis are founded on the worship of the gods Metalhand and Du-Ur. They are known as merchants and artisans, although other clans of other castes exists. Due to reasons of space and wealth, Durhamite colonies have been founded elsewhere beyond the oasis. Due to repeated attacks by the centaurs of the Tower-Building Peshites, Durhamites have mainly fled to the safety of the colonies, most especially New Durham. A few still yet reside in the remaining citadel cities of western Durham.

Amiant Horde (Tribal Monarch): A break-off of the old Yellow Song Horde, the Amiant Horde is a client realm of Durham, and indeed, participates in its administration. Maintaining a level of finery and civility herefore rare in horsemen, the amiant horde prefers to combine the exquisite works of Durham with the nomadic existence of their ancestors. True to their name, many also wear and use amiant. The Horde is oft busily fighting off centaurs, aiding both Durham and the Great Horde.

Great Horde (Divine Monarchy): A realm established by the Sarrat-er-err Valtoria, it is a vast realm of horsemen and their vassal peoples. Whilst much of the heartland is only sparsely populated, the nomadic nature of the horsemen and their military prowess has seen them spread far and wide, establishing their dominance over other peoples and realms. Under the reign Valtoria, the realm has seen various centralisation efforts, which traditionally has resulted in rebellion and exodus of unhappy clans. Still, such efforts have born fruit, with the settling of many tribes and clans as sedentary populations, with their horse lords taking the title of ensi.

Lawyerdoms of Innol (Judicial Oligarchy): The eastern clans of the Lawful People who choose to follow the law of Tala less rigidly and with the tempering of other spirits and mortal notions of law. These clans are led by lawyers who are in-turn sworn to the High Lawyer of Innol. Though the government is hierarchic, the common people of the eastern clans are almost identical to their western brethren. Growing lightroot and crops, the easterners are known for being perhaps a greater intensity in their love of lightroot. It is in Innol that the art of Law Magic is practised most commonly. Is a tributary of the Great Horde

League of Sixteen (Tribal Confederacy): Composed of the tribes north of Ulkai, this league opposes the continued expansion and warfare of Ulkai.

Eight Tribes of Ulkai (Divine Monarchy): The tribes enslaved by Murdus, the land is known for its warlike people and its communal institutions. Though everyone is spiritually a slave of the Child Lugal, this usually has little bearing in daily life with people seemingly being as free as other cultures. Although, their treatment of thralls is far worse than in other realms. Are oft at war with neighbouring horsemen or the League of Sixteen.

Ulqatan Tribes (Various Tribes): Various tribes residing in the resource-rich mountains between Durham and the Great Horde, they have the horrendously bad luck to be raided and colonised by both their neighbours.

Whale Polities

Volcanic Whelsh Tribes: Tribes of whales and humans once unified under the worship of Midan, they occupy the mountains of northern Err. Known for their lustfulness, tanks and strength, they both raid and trade with their neighbours. Many immigrate to Durham or trade with their residents, for whatever reason. Those that still reside near the Volcano of Midan tend towards being adamant that the orthodox beliefs of Midan remain true, whilst those farther away from the centre tend towards heterodoxy. A new group, convinced that Midan has been reborn as the lord of flesh, has launched a fiery jihad throughout the mountains, causing vast disruption and chaos.

Piercing Feather Tribes (Tribal Monarchy): A tribe of whales known for maintaining intricate mountain fortresses, the Piercing Feathers are led by an elected Paramount Chief, who is elected by all noble bloods. The Piercing Feathers are expert miners and artisans of stone, who fashion many a weapon from plastik- even as the same material proves to be a terrible weapon when forged by others. They have become increasingly assaulted by volcanic whelsh who follow the new flesh sect.

Quick Feather Tribes (Tribal Republic): A tribe of whales known for being unusually fast, they maintain control of but one mountain fortress, from which they control a vast number of human and elephantine subject tribes. Because of their control over the mountain trade routes, they are able to extract much in the form of wealth and prestige from their lands. They have become increasingly tormented by volcanic raids, seeking slaves and materials for the flesh sect.

Elephant Polities

Petty Oasis Elephants (Monarchy): A tribe of whales that coalesce around the petty oasis, they have grown rich from the trade routes. They are allied with the people of Durham.

[Vulpes Grande]
CP: 3+1 (2/3 battery), DP: 2 (2/6 battery), Essence: 1

The sand reddens, and out of it rises a figure of red sand, a fox that walks on two. In one hand, is the Dexter Manus, the scepter of creation, in the other is the Sinister Brachión, the staff of destruction. Vulpes Grande has risen once more.
Vulpes Grande gazes among the Canach, they have succeeded in their task, they have cultivated the Bloodberry Bushes. Vulpes Grande considers speaking unto them once more, but  Vulpes Grande has grand plans, and speech is therefore spared.

Vulpes Grande waves the Dexter Manus, and sand moves, blows, soon engulfing a hundred Canach, using 2 CP to create the Canach Terra.

Spoiler: Canach Terra (organism+2 CP) (click to show/hide)

Life
Name: Canach Terra
Appearance: They resemble their Canach brethren, except their fur is darker and denser, trending toward dark browns. Their being resonates with the earth, able to sense subtle differences in density when manipulating it. They tend to run their paws through powders and sands, familiarizing themselves with the feel of it.

Anima: The soul of a Canach Terra resonates with the earth, Canach Terra sacrifices should be buried afterwards, for maximum effect.
Materia: Canach Terra are foxes, like all Canach kind.
Sapor: A Canach's mental faculties is nothing spectacular for a fox.
Donum: Canach have been gifted sapience by Vulpes Grande, the ability to think about thought, enabling deeper understanding of the world.

Traits: Earth Magic (scales with surface area, so they control 1 kg of sand better than a 1 kg rock, obstructed by water, so even damp soil is difficult to manipulate). Double the lifespan of Canach. Blessed Seed (mating with lesser Canach will always result in Canach Terra offspring).

The Canach emerge from the sand, they're fine, in fact the sand dances around them at their whim, until the power of creation fades, and they have to make an active effort in order to animate the sands. Their manipulation is based on surface area, so they control many grains of sand with greater ease than a single rock with the same total weight.
Then, the sand rumbles.

Vulpes Grande plants the Sinister Brachión into the ground, and using 4 DP, an obelix emerges from the sand, made of pristine white stone. The Elemental Monolith.

Spoiler: The Elemental Monolith (4 DP +1DP/turn) (click to show/hide)

Monuments
Name: The Elemental Monolith
Appearance: A white stone obelisk, it has 4 faces. Upon the first is a swirly golden flame, with Ignis underneath. Upon the second is a jagged black gem, with Terra underneath. Upon the third is a swirly red waterdrop, with Aqua underneath. Upon the fourth is a jagged blue lightning, with Aer underneath. All text is in Canachi.
Purpose: Empowers the manipulation of the 4 elements of fire, earth, water and air, inside the hex.
Maintenance: 1 DP/turn.

The faces activate in order, the Canach Ignis flicker with embers, upon the sudden application of the full effect. The Canach Terra has the sand tremble around them, but nothing is felt when the Aqua and Aer faces activate. This effect will leave when they leave the hex, and will come back when they re-enter. But the effect isn't as sudden as the monument's activation, so they wont be flickering with flame every time they enter.

Vulpes Grande trusts the Canach to understand who gave them this gift, for they did succeed in Vulpes Grande's task.

But Vulpes Grande wants a greater civilization, and these... foxes, the feral ones, just wont do. Besides, there have been sacrifices of Canach by other gods, perhaps a little poison would deter them from wine, a most sweet poison indeed, for Vulpes Grande will give them what they want, while dealing with the diluted Canach blood.
Vulpes Grande uses 4 CP and 1 Essence to alter the remaining normal Canach in the hex to be more suited for their task.

Spoiler: Canach (organism+4CP+1E) (click to show/hide)

Life
Name: Canach
Appearance: Like the Blandford's Foxes of origin, but with white tailtip and eartips. They can survive in harsher areas than most foxes, even with a meager ecosystem. Pairing with non-Canach foxes can give Canach or pseudo-Canach, who carry the white marks, but not the furry soles or other Canach features, but will only birth Canach when mated by a Canach.

Anima: The Canach hold a strong soul, that remains potent even with it's high rate of reproduction. Canach sacrifices should be eaten afterwards, for maximum effect.
Materia: The Canach are foxes, but imbued creation power, letting them thrive on less nutrients, while still fueling their reproductive urges.
Sapor:They're foxes, but with an interest in reproducing, particularly with feral foxes, to uplift them like Vulpes Grande uplifted them.
Donum: Canach are sapient, and most of their offspring will share in this gift, the rest are sure to get it a generation or two later.

Traits: Chisel Claws (fantastic against hard, mundane against soft, good for etching text). Thrive on Scraps (survives or even thrives on less food than size would suggest). Progenitor (offspring with non-Canach foxes will either be Canach or pseudo-Canach, who will always have Canach offspring when mating with a Canach). Understanding (quickly picks up language understanding, even non-verbal and text). Furry Soles (sneaky and protects from hot surfaces).
For the effect of Blessed Seed, they are considered lesser than Elemental Canach, sharing bottom status with the old Canach.

These Canach will thrive where they used to struggle, and will be ideal for spreading Canach-kind among the dunes, and beyond. They are the most lesser yet also the most important of all the Canach, becoming the bedrock upon which all Canach civilization is built.

Vulpes Grande trusts the Canach's urges will be sufficient to make them spread, and their rapid reproduction rate and low food consumption should be highly attractive to anyone seeking them as sacrificial lambs. But their understanding and intelligence will be the trap, for no language barrier will keep them ignorant for long. That, and it's easier to give new generations the teachings of Vulpes Grande when they learn language so fast, which should help grow Vulpes Grande's influence.

But now, Vulpes Grande tires, and the statue grows ebon, before crumblling.

Vulpes Grande plants Sinister Brachión into the sand, the sand trembles and starts to move, engulfing half the Canach Ignis.
2 DP is used to alter the engulfed Canach Ignis into Canach Terra.

Spoiler: Canach Terra (organism + 2 DP) (click to show/hide)

Life
Name: Canach Terra
Appearance: They resemble their Canach brethren, except their fur is darker and denser, trending toward dark browns. Their being resonates with the earth, able to sense subtle differences in density when manipulating it. They tend to enjoy running their paws through powders and sands, of different compositions, familiarizing themselves with even minute differences.

Anima: The soul of a Canach Terra resonates with the earth, letting them manipulate it fantastically, Canach Terra sacrifices should be buried afterwards, for maximum effect.
Materia: The being of Canach Terra is foxes but infused with earth, making them further resonate with the earth, and giving their meat a savory flavor.
Sapor: Insignificant change.
Donum: Insignificant change.

Traits: Earth Magic (scales with surface area, so they control 1 kg of sand better than a 1 kg rock, obstructed by water, so even damp soil is difficult to manipulate). Double the lifespan of Canach. Blessed Seed (mating with lesser Canach will always result in Canach Terra offspring).

The Canach Terra emerge from the sand, it dances around them at their whim. It is a temporary boost, and soon further sand animation requires conscious effort.
Their fur is no longer golden, and instead dark, quite earthen. They will find sand easier to manipulate than rocks, making their domain the sands, not mountain or soil. As reward for completing their task, they are now masters of the desert, and this ability can be used to impede beasts, opening them up for a kill, which will see the Canach become mighty predators of the desert.

Then, Vulpes Grande waves the Dexter Manus around, and sparkles swirls, before Vulpes Grande flicks the sparkles at all the mundane Canach, the First Canach.
2 CP is used to alter the First Canach in the hex into Second Canach.

Spoiler: Second Canach (organism + 2 CP) (click to show/hide)

Life
Name: Second Canach
Appearance: Like the Blandford's Foxes of origin, but with white tailtip and eartips, in addition to furred soles. When mating with non-Canach, the offspring that aren't Second Canach will have white tail and ear tips, but none of the other Second Canach traits.

Anima: Their souls resonate with life, Second Canach sacrifices should be eaten afterwards, for maximum effect.
Materia: The Second Canach are foxes, but imbued with creation power. They thrive where others struggle, and their seed will overtake native foxes, making them propagate rapidly in feral lands.
Sapor: Insignificant change.
Donum: Insignificant change.

Traits: Thrive on Scraps (survives or even thrives on less food than size would suggest). Progenitor (offspring with non-Canach foxes will either be Second Canach or pseudo-Canach, who will always have Canach offspring when mating with a Canach). Doomed Yelp (in mortal peril a Second Canach will let out a yelp that isn't overly loud, yet travels far, agitating fight-or-flight instincts in other Canach).

For the effect of the Blessed Seed trait of Elemental Canach, they are considered lesser than Elemental Canach, sharing bottom status with the First Canach.

The Second Canach find themselves seemingly normal, but they soon find all meals to be more filling and hunger slower to emerge, without a doubt, they have become blessed. And if they continue to fornicate with non-Canach, they will find that even more offspring are sapient, or ones who's offspring will be sapient.

But their true purpose is more sinister. They will be the sweetest poison to deter the overindulgence of the wine that is Canach sacrifice. For their rapid propagation will be highly attractive to those who see them as mere livestock, only to realize the danger when they let out their Doomed Yelp, making the other caged Canach become frenzied, trying to attack or escape. They also make good early colonizers, becoming the bedrock upon which the greater Canach will make civilization. They may be the most lesser, but they're also the most important.

But while Vulpes Grande has ensured the physical bedrock, of Canach blood, the intellectual bedrock is still lacking. The Canach are capable, thanks to the magic, but lack knowledge and are even seduced by it, preferring life as slaves over lives as citizens, they are unaware of the degeneracy other civilization engage in. Vulpes Grande cannot teach them all this lesson, but can make someone who will do it for them.
But a Canach's form is limited, yet Vulpes Grande doesn't want the Canach alienated, so Vulpes Grande decides to cheat, making someone with both Canach form and non-Canach form, shifting between them. The non-Canach form is obvious, human, they will not learn much of human society as a Canach, as they are seen as slaves and cannot speak their language. So Vulpes Grande scours Anka, looking for someone who has witnessed the degeneracy the Ankans engage in, until Vulpes Grande finds a human girl, someone who helps at minor tasks, yet has glimpsed many a degenerate act, but had to stay silent for their own safety. Then the second is a female Canach, one who knows of Vulpes Grande, and who knows how to get back to Cana, or at least knows the legend to follow.
Through circumstance and forced movement, the two end up close, and then Vulpes Grande gets to work.

Using 2 CP and 1 Essence, total of 3 CP, Vulpes Grande combines a human handmaiden and a female Canach, to become the Champion Magus Cognitionis, who emerges in Anka.

Spoiler: Magus Cognitionis (organism + 2 CP + 1 E) (click to show/hide)

Subsoul
Name: Magus Cognitionis
Appearance: Magus Cognitionis has two forms which she can switch between, Canach and human, but the Canach form has abnormally long hair on it's head, more like human hair than fur, and the human form has the tail and ears of a Canach, though the features remain proportional to the form size, so the Canach isn't tangled in hair, and the human has a tail and ears larger than a Canach's. Though this does give the human form 4 ears. The human's hair color becomes that of the Canach, and the Canach's eye color becomes that of the human. Other than that, they look like they did before, though they are sterile, to prevent any transformation complications.
Personality [optional]: The two personalities remain separate, and may overpower each other temporarily, but may also cooperate for double thinking power. They can tell each other things as well, and even have discussions entirely inside their mind.

Vitality Beyond (can replenish blood and heal wounds very quickly). Master of the Canachi Blood Sigils (through a Canach's blood (including the hybrid's) they can create magic sigils of the elements Ignis (creates embers in nearby fiber when struck), Terra (glides across mineral, charge use proportional to inclination), Aqua (hastens healing on touched flesh), and Aer (always catches wind in open air), though they will drain with use and require renewal, more intricate sigils hold more charge, can be taught to others).

This human will be the perfect teacher, telling the Canach about the technology of the world, while also warning them of the degeneracy that occurs out there.

Vulpes Grande smiles. The bedrock of blood and knowledge for the Canach civilization has been set, surely when Vulpes Grande returns, they will be a proper civilization.
Vulpes Grande's sand grows ebon, before crumbling.

Act quickly, before the opportunity is missed.

Move along citizen, nothing to see here.

The Shattered Statue moved with divine speed and delivered itself unto the Temple of Enki. It consecrated the temple in its own name. Queerly, did the temple glow and hum, and shiver.

As she (he?) whirled the dance of taking, the Statue felt the inherent power of the Temple flow into the inner shell of his (her?) soul.

The mortals, engaged in the life of conflict and study, who did inhabit the temple felt a great shudder. The shamans of the Badger-Faced God and the Crafting-Lord feel the shadows of their gods dwindle in this land and feel the veil of another upon the whole of the temple-complex.

Basderieen and Metalhand feel their influence quiver in the temple-complex of Enki; they feel the dominion of Another over the temple.


The Temple of Enki has been claimed by the Shattered Statue.
