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: Basdreenin
Appearance: Humanoid, with four arms and blue skin.  Their teeth are sharp and pointed.  their bodies are hairless.  They have a blind third eye in the center of their forehead.

[Vulpes Grande, God of Civilization]

Vulpes Grande is not pleased with the lack of local foxes. But after consulting their helper, found that they do pass by. They just need a reason to stay.
"Loath as I am to provide ease, I will provide food. With roots burrowing deep, and juicy plump berries. But they shall be scattered. Only the observant shall feast."
Vulpes Grande alters some of the Shrubs in the hex, into Blood-berry Bushes. Using 2 CP.

Spoiler: Blood-berry Bush (click to show/hide)

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.

True to their word, Vulpes Grande scatters the Blood-berry Bushes around the hex. Them blending well in with the Shrubs around the place.

"Now, I shall wait. Or perhaps provoke."
Vulpes Grande tries sending a dream once more. But this time, he's primarily targeting the foxes.
They will dream of a fox that is thirsty and hungry.
It finds Vulpes Grande's domain, and here, they look around, until they see a peculiar plant, the Blood-berry Bush, from which they will feast.
It's hunger and thirst now sated, it lies down. But there is a shadow.
It looks back, to see Vulpes Grande, providing it shadow. But Vulpes Grande doesn't speak. Then the dream ends.

With nothing else to spend it on, Vulpes Grande stores 1 CP and 2 DP.
Reserve: 1/3 CP, 2/4 DP.

Sarkyran awoke in delight as his followers had seemingly cast off pointless violence against one another. As ever though, there was more work to be done, and thus did Sarkyran labour to improve the lot of his worshippers and followers.

Action 1: First did Sarkyran teach his followers how to make axes from copper and work wood effectively and efficiently. Being in one of the few forests of the world meant this would be particularly beneficial to his followers. Though Sarkyran cautions his followers about taking too much wood, and teaches them to respect the forest, and to plant new trees for the ones they take.

Action 2: Then did Sarkyran provide picks and chisels, and taught his followers the art of stonemasonry. The sandstone in the local area is a strong, resilient material to build lasting constructions out of, and a useful material for grinding grain into flour and to sharpen blades.

Action 3: Finally, did Sarkyran proclaim a contest between mortals, a divine challenge to see who would become the king of the tribes. A series of tests are organised, of a physical and mental nature. Any prospective king must be fit in body and adaptive in mind. Several of the tests however judge the character of the prospective, ensuring that only those with the intent to do good with the power offered. To assist him in judging the contest, and to judge successive contests whilst Sarkyran slumbers. Furthermore, Sarkyran gives warning about the happenings in foreign lands; pointedly directed at the plant known as Lightroot. Declaiming the plant as a crime against the earth itself, distorting the balance and peace of not only nature, but against man himself and that his followers should do what they can to destroy the plant when and wherever they can in order to preserve peace in man and nature.

Shattered Statue awoke from his(her?) slumber, irritated that it had not managed to catch up with the rogue elephant herd before being snatched from awakening. Still it felt the presence of its worshippers thrumming within the fragments of her (his?) mind, and was content with them, though those who would prey upon those who worshipped the Shattered ignited a burning rage within the Statue. Something must be done.

Action 1 [1 CP]: The Shattered Statue searches among his(her?) worshippers' children for one who is most pious and loyal to the Statue in its deeds, words and thoughts. This child shall then become the third of the Statue's disciples. The Shattered Statue appears to the child within a dream to proclaim such, and promises a great boon for the loyal.

"Serve me, and serve my people well, and all shall prosper under the coils of I."

Tala is content.

INGRESS (Champion Ingresses too, we speak about tons o' stuff

Spoiler: Basic outline of talk (click to show/hide)

Specifics modifying the below are in the Godquest discord channel
> Do something of merit, help out the local tribes, convene with lawspeakers, build me a temple where you can literally do teaching of the various understandings present, revise or adjust them, and train the understandings of the law
> Purposefully make a name for yourself--spread knowledge about me and my deeds, and that I can be worshipped in good-will and well-being of others, and make the best out of your talents; you are not limited to your own attributes and personality right now, challenge yourself!
>> Explore the source of the river, and make a path there for the people--entreaty the spirits and animals with respect, for I wish to be known as a water-spirit, my spheres of Life and Exploration be known (also, fresh water monument plans, possibly even attuned to healing and longevity)
> Find someone to last the test of time with you and bring them to me (This Champion has tons more to grow and learn, and she can apprentice and teach for the betterment of the orders I gave her)
> Other than...making husks of unlawful folks, do communicate and integrate writing into the law and communication with others, that give them a choice to be sent to me instead of just becoming husks and not agreeing to the laws
> Understand the power of communication--any and all feuds happen because of underlying tensions, and these are all based on understandings of what will happen; you get a spear to help with this, but it is imperative you learn this
> That power in the NW? Travel there with the help of your lightroot, find out the power present and then spread my word there and work with law to help a good relationship!
> Don't forget that the law is used for fairness in treatment of others for order. If you're going to use those husks, task them well.
> Make my temple the grounds for neutral deliberation, that feuds may be consolidated there and learning be transferred freely; that it be but one symbol of places of worship. [Because I plan to become the form of an Idol in the next 50 years and will do so after all is done later on]
> Promise her more tools in order to grow the potential of life, to understand death, or to communicate and increase accessibility.
>>>*TRADE for knowledge. May Writings be one of your people and to be developed among yourselves, but trade for knowledge in what would better those around you. Keep record and track what is needed, and tell this to me later on.
>> Put lightroot in my temple, guard it and guide it well.
> ...If my talks weren't obvious, do try and experiment with what you know--try making better things, or finding different methods, exchange writings with the tribes, but above all, conduce peace that you all will be under one multicultural-banner.

1st action: Create Powerful Accoutrement (3 Cp and 2 Dp used + 1 CP; save that 1 Essence for later power)

Spoiler: The Spear-Banner (click to show/hide)

Name: Dawn-Threader
Appearance: A long staff, simple in appearance, of white-washed wood that contains the current map of the stars and the wielder's known lands. One of its ends can fit an implement, for weaponry or for tool work, and the other is of a more magical-wrought element, able to sharpen to a tip or be as blunt as any soft material, encased in a covering of bronze which can be removed and attached aside.
In certain lights of the day or night, specific runes (or writings/pictograms) can be sensed along its shaft, detailing its purpose to the reader, only if they choose to understand--and biased towards benevolent uses.

Power lies in the multitude--your thoughts are of many, and those around you.
If you need a tool, it's a tool.
If you need a weapon, it's a weapon.
If you need to learn, it's a teacher.
If you need vision, it shall grant it.
If you need light, aim towards the sky.
Your thoughts can be shared with others without voice.
Think and it may be. Protect and it shall be.

Purpose: This can be used to project communication to and from the core thoughts of others, to be able to see the issues of the mind (and generally aid in law or decision making), as well as being able to null magic to a certain extent--moreso in projecting and guiding the flows of magic around. Much of the accoutrement's capabilities can be limited to the power of the wielder. A(n endless) banner of sorts can be attached to it, which will project the wielder's intent, carrying the names and meanings of the peoples and entities upon it, alongside passively allowing the wielder to affect their surroundings--based on their personality. The magic-wrought end is used for nulling magic or projecting a shield of translucent armor around a certain zone, of the self or around others, alongside being used for writing and transmitting ideas of the mind, and can be angled into the air to specify a receiver, that they may obtain the message thought about specifically in spite of the distance, or draw in the medium pictures or words which are present and intentfully chosen to be communicated from within the mind.

It can be thrown like a javelin, emitting a boom of light when it impacts a target or when thrown, or be as silent as the dead of night--depending on the choice of the wielder--generally invoking a sense of calm and peacefulness in all of who hear or see it (or the banner), and upon impact if thrown, grants vision of the area as if the wielder was present at the point of impact for a brief moment. It is the wielder's choice for the accoutrement to return to their hands or not, upon throwing, alongside being very precise in its travel and aim, being able to shift between spirit and physical realm in transport.

It may be used to easily traverse rough natural terrain, or protect the wielder and those around them when in inimical or magical terrain.

It can be used to create very minor miracles or to bolster the wielder's workings with what else they do or attempt to perform.

2nd action: Teach Writing and Talk to the tribes!
Tala observed the law and noticed how it was lacking, with this--she calmly issued to GATHER, that even animals who were warned not to trespass were spared from any punishment.

Tala noticed a large issue was the lack of spreading ideas and knowledge--that one brilliant insight would be interpreted in many ways, much like how the animals did not heed her or the lack of communication to revisit. Thus she taught writing and its innate knowledge as a passing form of word into sensible and sensory understanding, to be understood of both her people and the animals--this was to be kept as important between them and to help inspire knowledge. She mentioned how to use writing to work with the spirits, or to convey magics and other needed ideas as important possibilities (if they didn't get it now, they can review or rework! Basically, symbolism+)

She used allegory and familiarity, through her champion, and the framework of adjusting the laws, as writing communicated such and such--that there be more options for understanding and more ways by which understandings can be given in order for both the development of the benevolent people as a whole and as a culture, and for them to transmit their knowledge to future generations better (as oral learning requires the time and repetition of people to do so), that even spurious or arbitrative laws where there were none can be revised, struck down, or based upon core values and tenets of the people--that a major law important is that of communication and of aggrievances being listened and not just heard [She also mentions to her Champion that another thing that should be done, after telling her of the details of the temple, and that she's free to design it as she wills, is the important option of giving them a choice to be sacrificed to me]

She referenced the talk of sacrifice to her champion and mentioned the choice of sacrifice to her (sapient/non sapient) as a choice rather than be killed, and this would be more important in order to handle the growth of wrjting--and segued this into the second part...(below) She also noted various forms of writing as communication or words of power, from the spirit, to physical runes/tattoos, to images and writing forms...and how these can exemplify values, words of warding, power, warning, and even containers for knowledge and learning (and the materials used to hold them)

...She also mentioned that these can be written onto people and such, but must be taken care of, while specifying certain materials in the environment that would do so best. [I'm inspired ]

She also put the word 'Memory' in her Champion's pool of tgought and associated it with the mind exploring previous happenings that appear present in the now, and upon being asked about writing implements--Tala noted her next teaching of TRADE (and also noted that there is chalk and other minerals nearby--speaking that she trusts the people to come up with reliable ways for recording and writing, otherwise, to come to her in 50 years about requests and updates).

3rd Action: Teach greater understanding of feelings, empathy, potential, and basically TRADE, and talk to the people and animals, teaching them how to make pacts with each other and the benefit of fair value and how understanding is the potential underlying trade (also availably put under law and regulated by such based on the means rather than arbitrary rulings)
Tala noted the passage of time and pondered upon the dying reality of this differential timespan, and that whatever needed to be done needed to be taught for the living here to grow and understand. Thus she spoke in depth about abstracted concepts--in concrete notions, teaching the importance of riddles, proverbs, teachings, much like the backings of law, and consequences as well as foresight. She focused into the importance of understanding exchange, of giving and taking, and to always remember the importance of finite resources being used and to treat such with respect (basically teaching trade) and mentioned it was important to keep some secrets as unique to yourself--especially this, as there are those who only keep secrets but never exchange them. The importance of trading for knowledge rather than materials (as she is able to give materials), and the importance of culture, community, well-being, and connectivity (of animals and people rather than the 'kill these herbivors because they eat lightroot'). She illustrated by expounding on the lightroot issue through her champion and the importance for diversifying its plantations--to teach the consequence of how horrible it would be to just devolve all they've learned if it died out entirely; hence the importance of improving agriculture, and making many different and useful traits using it--even making hardier and better lightroot suited to certain environments, as a major allegory of exchange.

Trade was also a manner of exchange they did orally--how they spoke to each other in everyday life, of how words meant meanings, and the ways people said things made better or worse of the situation, of how feuds developed because of how beliefs are formed of how they thought things were. Tala basically mentions the importance of understanding and being open to understanding even if one was used to certain ways.

In this long talk, she mentioned the importance of building upon knowledge and working with materials, to seek out those who knew how to do so and to trade openly with them--that lightroot can be used to transport needed nourishments and foods, and how Trade was integral in exchange with the environment and other life (because they were already doing it). She very much hinted that they should learn how to work with lightroot and diversify, lest they stagnate and die. Noting the law, it was important for tribes to openly exchange rather than feud on who marries whom--that this insight of emotion made into significant visible things helped adjust that, or even teach that for people to grow. With knowing trade and language, she told them all that she hoped this would help them not be cheated in turn--for she expressed her understanding that those who kept secrets had good reasons to do so, and instead giving better options and advances of communication was the better path.

She asked Diwata to help her, by using her spear and the surrounding fervor for learning to draw these images and depictions of how they worked out--that they were free to create their own, but to also listen to understand what was happening and communicate. [She also mentioned to seriously edit those orders I gave, that I will spend a {full action next turn} in teaching otherwise {Please let this happen Mice >_< I feel bad enough already in having failed her, and it looks ugly in format!}]

She also corrected the people for not using the lightroot well and expounded upon it and its potential! It can give aplenty--use it to diversify plants that you don't need to HATE the herbivores or the carnivores!

Basically she also mentioned the proverbs of how personality can be shaped to an extent and that all living creatures from birth or existence already had a personality. That even if people did not believe now, they could revisit through writing to relearn in seeing differently. And if they felt harmed by the law, they were able to act upon pacts or present specific, certain symbols to forbid any harm to them in order to communicate how they are harmed in order to progress the law [/Teaching, HO!]

At last, she asked Diwata that she be known as a spirit of exploration, of guidance, in teaching, and of the same myths that people know about her and more. She ends her talks with the people on the note of emphasizing their potential, growth, and learning, to travel and learn and travel back here for this is their home of wisdom, water, learning, and life, and to nevermore forget who taught whom! (Because it is insulting to forget me and I will withdraw and cease to exist and that is kinda sad) (and noting that with a few more pictures of their envisioned fate--a bright future where animals and humans and other beings are working together, alongside a depiction of Tala and other spirits alongside her)
