Turn 0: The Dawn of Time

In the most ancient of days, before the gods drew breath and the lowest of beasts strode upon the earth, there were only the Titans. Monolithic entities of incomparable power from places incomprehensible to any lesser mind, they gazed upon the starless void and found the empty scape wanting. Dissatisfied, they convened among themselves for a span both instant and eternal, then as one voice, spoke the creation into being. The infinite became finite, their powers tremendously lessened to permit their presence in this pocket of space, but with this sacrifice, the void within the space ceased to be, and the Titans were free to bring the world into being.

Only a dim white star, wrought of the first spark, and three humble satellites of middling size held form. The first of these was shaped of barren sand, the second of bare earth, and the third of blank ice, but each was surrounded by an atmosphere most suitable to a wide array of life, and each was set into an orbit around their weak, featureless sun that might prove most accommodating to an annual cycle. To be certain, none was of much initial interest, but every Titan knew of the limitless potential within the spheres, and soon set to their passionate work.

The first of the Titans to arise was Tiamat, The Mother of All Life, The Primordial Sea, made of the endless mud which had yet to take form. She sought to bring life into being, and birth gods to oversee their world.

The second of the Titans to arise was 0112358, the incarnation of the mathematical formulae whose principles held sway, even in the timeless void. They sought to be benevolent toward mortals, and ensure their prosperity in spite of their peers.

The third of the Titans to arise was Maut, the fungal manifestation of life that thrives not in defiance of death, but because of it. They sought to bring death to the world, and maintain the delicate balance in the circle of life.

The fourth of the Titans to arise was Splunder, the ever-shifting assemblage of trash that some enterprising souls might find to be treasure. It sought to cultivate the disordered and unruly possession of things.

The fifth of the Titans to arise was Doctor Bob, made in the shape of man with an antlered head, he was the most mundane of the six and found peerless strength in it. He sought to sow the seeds for scientific enlightenment in the world.

The sixth of the Titans to arise, but not the last, was Ragwroth, a polyhedron carved of cracked bone bound by bleeding eyes and filled with limitless grasping tendrils. It sought to introduce guided destruction to the world, ensuring the cyclic end of old ages and the beginning of the new.

Thus the Age of Creation began.

Dr. Bob floats around the void for a bit before finally saying, "You know what this place really needs some moons, you know they help you know what time it is at night and they make tides."

So Dr. Bob decides to give each planet a moon.

Turn 1: The Scattering of Satellites, Seeding of Trees, and Smithing of Gates

For a time, each of the Titans beheld the creation in peace and silence, then the one known only as Zero, One, One, Two, Three, Five, Eight spoke the First Words, and each of the Titans listened in equal measure. Its voice was a harmonious stream of mathematics made manifest, yet such was the gathered intellect its speech was understood for what it was, a suggestion to ensure the defense of creation from would-be invaders in the distant future yet to come. Though the Titans appraised Zero, One, One, Two, Three, Five, Eight‘s entreaty and found it reasonable or erroneous in their own measure, not one could form a reply before Doctor Bob sundered the silence in a cosmic cacophony.

Witnessing each of the earthly spheres, Doctor Bob found their lack of satellites unbefitting a proper reality, and surged forth to see a series of orbits arranged. Their curiosity piqued, the Titans bore witness to the Good Doctor’s work for some time, but the necrotic arch-fungus Maut saw fit to intervene in his favor. Giving up a portion of itself, the immensity of Doctor Bob’s task was lessened, and in time, three magnificent but undeniably lesser spheres took shape surrounding the planetoids. As its primary creator was far more inclined to practical results than aesthetic pursuits, each was the mirror image of the sphere it orbited, save that their mineral deposits were significantly denser, and their gravitational pull much weaker.

If it weren’t for the secondary creator’s influence, they would’ve remained smooth in surface, but its rotting touch evoked countless cracks across each surface, which themselves opened into steep crags and winding canyons, or collapsed into awe-inspiring mountain ranges and cramped cave networks. These conditions left the end result most suitable for many varieties of simple fungi and stubborn subterranean life capable of surviving in spite of the sparse resources, but arguably more or less importantly, ideal terrain for conducting industrial mining operations.

Dr. Bob and Maut have spent 300 Points on the creation of three craggy, mineral-rich moons to surround each of the dim sun’s orbiting spheres.
Dr. Bob (-200 Points)(800 Remaining)
Maut (-100 Points)(900 Remaining)

Inspired by its peer’s impressive act of creation, the Titan whose name was Splunder decided that it was not to be outdone. Realizing that without life to strive and struggle, there could be no true possessions, the Titan endeavored to sow the genuine seeds for future greed and the indolent casting away of things. Shaking its tremendous bulk above the second sphere, thousands of assorted nuts and hard fruit impacted the highest-altitude soil near the equator. Not three centuries later, the first forest’s descendants had begun to spread far and wide across the land, colonizing no less than one fifteenth of its surface. Left alone, it could eventually encompass the whole of the world, but at its current rate, many mortal lifetimes would come to pass and fade away.

Splunder has spent 50 Points on the creation of a vast forest in the second sphere. It occupies 1/15th of the sphere, and if left unchecked, will spread in two turns.
Splunder (-50 Points)(950 Remaining)

If there is a single principle the Titan Ragwroth, the Beginning and End of Ages clings to, it is the certainty that conflict between civilizations, either in the mutually controversial trade of ideas or the bloodying of the blade, must be encouraged to prevent a wretched eternity of stagnation. To this end, it reasoned that reliable contact between the spheres is of paramount importance, and set about the creation of six colossal arches of nigh-invulnerable stone, wrought from the light of the cosmos, two for each sphere, and each linked by a shimmering portal to the one which shared its color.

These enormous structures were named the Titan’s Gates, and in accordance to Ragwroth’s plans, two were set into each sphere. In an age yet to come, their position would baffle mortal scholars, for each stood exactly opposite of the other, so that while one would always be beneath the dim sun’s gaze, the next would be under the glint of the moon. Two red gates, whose visage imitated fresh crimson connected the first and second spheres, two blue gates, whose surfaces rippled in tune with waves yet to be created connected the second and third spheres, and two yellow gates, whose sheen shone like molten gold connected the first and third spheres.

Ragwroth has spent 150 Points on the creation of the Titan’s Gates, connecting the spheres to one another. The Red Gates connect the first and second spheres, the Blue Gates connect the second and third spheres, and the Yellow Gates connect the first and third spheres.
Ragwroth (-150 Points)(850 Remaining)

Bearing witness to their works, the four Titans which bode their time in the beginning arose to join their kin.

The seventh of the Titans to arise was Jajameel, a leanly muscled and stalking wolf with a head in the shape of a man’s, hunched and ready to pounce. He sought to make packs of all things, and encourage the twin values of cooperation and hatred in the world.

The eighth of the Titans to arise was Shasta, a dim white light which resembled the dim white sun of the spheres, but which nonetheless evaded the minds of mortals, appearing as no more than strange white bird to their limited imaginations. He sought to create the highest of mountains and the deepest of oceans, to him, the affairs of mortals were of no concern.

The ninth of the Titans to arise was Xanzerwild, an endless row of man’s limbs supporting a serpentine figure which descended from the wrist of an open palm. Upon that palm was an ever-watching and voracious eye which darted about, peering through all it could see. Its eye was orange, and its skin was smooth and velvet black.

The tenth, and perhaps last of the Titans to arise was The Monad, a blindingly white cube orbited by an endlessly descending fractal of its image, as the last to come, it seemed to share some similarities with its peers but rejected their aspirations in favor of primordial order. It sought to introduce stability and abidance of the axioms of law to creation.

Thus the Act of Creation began.

An arid rock covered in barren sand, its closeness to the sun ensures its continual heat. In the skies above, a moon, riddled with caverns but otherwise sandy, orbits, and on opposite sides of its surface the red and yellow Titan’s Gates stand, connecting it to the second and third spheres.

Spoiler:  The Second Sphere (click to show/hide)

A near-naked rock covered in a thin crust of bare earth, its middling distance to the sun ensures its middling temperature. In the skies above, a moon, pockmarked with mountains but otherwise earthy, orbits, and on opposite sides of its surface the red and blue Titan’s Gates stand, connecting it to the first and third spheres.

In a high-altitude region near the equator, a hardwood forest has spread to cover one-fifteenth of the sphere’s surface area.

Spoiler:  The Third Sphere (click to show/hide)

A frigid rock covered in blank ice, its far flung distance to the sun ensures its frigid cold. In the skies above, a moon, marred with craggy canyons but otherwise frosty, orbits, and on opposite sides of its surface the blue and yellow Titan’s Gates stand, connecting it to the second and first spheres.

[Wozzy]

Shasta witnesses the creation of the craggy satelites in awe, and turns his sights on the featureless spheres they orbit. This will not do, there is no beauty here.

On the first sphere, he carves a greate divide along the equator, and fills it with water, creating two seperate land masses This great ocean will be a birthing place for storms, due to how quickly water evaporates on this hot planet, and bring rain to the cooler poles. The precipitation will create paths back to the oceans, eroding sections of the great desert, and creating valleys that will be more suitable to life.

[King Zultan]

"Thank you Maut for helping with the moons there more interesting than the gray balls I was going to make." He then floats around for a bit before finally saying, "I just realized these planets don't have any metals or minerals on them, I've got to fix that."
Using his powers he places all forms of minerals and metals into the three planets.


((I have no Idea how much this will cost.))

[Detoxicated]

Jajameel creates two broad families of Life.
The First are the mobile wolvernus. All of the wolvernus are huge and Wolf Like in shape. They come in all colours and are either carnivorous or omnivores. They are prone to Form Packs with similarily strengthed wolvernus. They cooperate Well with one another but only AS Long AS they are similar in Strength. AS they all truely despise one another they wait until they are Sure they can Take on their packmates. All wolvernus need bloodplants to breathe.

The second Family of Life are the bloodplants. Bloodplants are similar to regular Plantage AS they photosynthesize. Instead of rooting in the Soils they Take roots on animals causing them pain and agony yet increasing their breathing abilities AS Well AS their metabolism. They prefer to root on wolvernus but can also root on Amy other animal. Their leaves are bloodred to purple and they usually have complex flowers.

Jajameel spreads These beings onto the threema spheres and watches His Peers with hateful interest.

[Elvish Miner]

Maut sends tree boring insects through the hardwood forest. They will find the soft and weak trees that are stealing resources from the hardy and strong ones, and slowly kill them. Maut hopes selectively culling the trees that are susceptible to illness will speed up the spread of the hardwood forest by returning nutirents back into the soil.

[notquitethere]

Cracking forth out of a nut his great forest, Splunder calls into being a sentient race: the Avaridi.

The Avaridi are stunted creatures of keen intelligence whose desires far outstrip their feeble forms. They are weak in strength, poor in eye-sight, short in limb and stature. Their hairless forms are vulnerable to heat and cold. They are soft and fragile. They like things neither too wet nor too dry. They group together but are never quite secure in their social relations with one another. They only excel in their inventiveness, and their many shortcomings drive them to hunt, build and create.
