Turn 7: Day of Bloodshed, & 0 Food for the United Tates
Reelia spends 2 FP to make some trees at C-5. They also make rabbits at D-3 that can eat the poisonous fruits. 4 FP is then spent on making it rain at C-5 and C-3
Gen'iak the wise, God of Stupidity, flexes his immense power to make two 7 FP Artifacts. Being a part of his Aspect, their cost is reduced. They'd normally be 12 and 10 FP respectively.
Artifact Spoiler created, see below.Gilbert, God of Cats, makes more Ice Sheets.
Dr. Bob spends some FP to add Abundant Food to B4 and B5.
This won't come back to bite any Civs at all, will it?MonkeyLord, God of Growth, spends his massive FP to create an ape beast which can only eat the poisonous fruit, and occasionally lays eggs from them.
A Divine Beast has been created! See OP. Spoiler Added.MonkeyLord, God of Growth: 24 FP-20=4 > +5=9+1 > 10 FP

2 workers forage E-3, finding 6 food!
2 Workers forage the Wetlands at D-4. They find transversing the water difficult and wet, and deceptively deep. 1 worker nearly drowns, and they stick to the edges, where food is somewhat scarcer. They bring in 3 Food, and
Gen'iak enjoys the spectacle, gaining 1 FP.
Of another Note, the 2 researching make amazing strides, not only completing Herbalism Research, but also making strides into Forest Survival.

PM Sent. Dr. Bob, God of Science, gains 1 FP.
War, war never changes.On one side, the Hairfolk travel into B-5, seeking Dr. Bob's Bounties. On the other, the Promethia seek the food to recover back to their earlier glory. Normally, you would expect both sides to posture, as they end up gathering slightly less food than normal from these interactions.
However 2 things prevent this. Both sides really want all that food for themselves. And Promethia has a rock, and it is sharp. They also have a stick, and it is long.
Bloody Battles in the Red ForestAll wish for bounty, but the natural distrust between the two tribes explode into violence. The Hairfolk believe this bounty to be their's given by Dr. Bob. While Promethia believe it their given right to harvest food as needed to survive. It comes to blows.
Battle Report
Hairfolk have no weapons, but wit.
The Promethia are not amused, and strike with vicious cruelty with their crude and primitive attacks.
The Hairfolk fight back, and manage to injure 1 of the Promethia, but the Promethia fight back twice as hard, injuring 2 of the Hairfolk.
The Hairfolk are forced to retreat, and barely manage to escape with some food and their injured.
The Hairfolk return to their tribe with bloody wounds and broken arms, bringing in 5 food and 2 injured.
The Promethia are victorious, and while 1 was injured in the fighting, they quickly recover. They bring in 10 food, having driven off the Hairfolk, as well as 4 additional food as the spoils of their battle.
After Action ResultsHairfolk5 Food was brought in, but it's a far cry from what it could have been. The fact they even managed that much is a miracle.
Pick 1 God to gain 2 FP next turn.2 were injured in the battle, and won't be able to work next turn.
PromethiaPromethia prospers. 1 was slightly injured by their attacks, and there were some minor bruises. It not enough to prevent them from continuing their work though.
They manage to finish their collection, bringing in 10 food out of the 12 they could have. Other than that, they manage to snag 4 Food from what their foes collected.
Gen'iak the wise, God of StupidityBeing the first battle, he gains 3 FP from this.
Other Gods have no vested interest, nor anything that would gain them FP from this.

Techs
Primitive House Creation: You can build and repair Primitive Houses. They hold 1 Worker apiece. Lack of Housing leads to unrest, make sure you keep enough housing for your workers.
[Tier 0]Primitive Foraging Tools (5/5) You can now make Primitive Foraging Tools using a Logistics Action. They're pretty poor. You do know the basics of actually making Simple Tools now though. You just need Wood. [Reduces Research Cost of First Tier Foraging Tools by 3, and all other First Tier Tool Research by 1]
Can be used for combat, which is fine when the opponent doesn't actually have any form of combat ability. Doesn't Cost a Worker Action to make, but they tend to get lost. Can be used immediately.
Battle Results
2 workers were injured, and will be unable to perform actions next turn.
+5 Food was rescued, and that in itself was a Miracle. Pick a God to gain 2 FP next turn. This won't cost you a Logistics slot.

Techs
Basic Warmth (0/0) Start with 1 Den instead of 10 Primitive Houses. The Kitties recover from Hypothermia in less that 1 turn, outside of rainy or particularly cold days. The Den can Hold 10 workers. New Dens require other Techs, but the Den can't be destroyed easily. Remember that Dens can only hold 10, any more are in danger of dying outside.

Hests, Aspect: Agriculture
Workers: 6
Food: 5
Logistics: 5
House Limit: 10/10
Primitive Houses: 10(holds 1 per house)
Location: D-3, Lush Forest
Potential Issue: Toxic Fruit Running Wild: Due to a combination of factors, the Poisonous Fruit is spreading, out-performing Native Species due to a lack of natural counters. It's spread is slightly limited, as it can only drop to the ground, but that in itself is dangerous. Left alone, it could permanently change the Lush Forest for the worse.
The Hests' Agriculture Aspect has triggered, potentially leading into an increased research rate for certain techs to deal with the issue.
Research Pending Completion
Irrigation: (1/??) Irrigation has a lot of uses. From allowing your farms to grow crops with less work, to making sure you don't end up sick, or preventing flooding from destroying your homes. It is a Major Project though, and barely able to be done currently. The only reason you can even try is due to your current ideas about Nature. Even with a better base, it's still very hard to do. It would unlock the ability to research Agriculture though.. That faces the same issues, as you need a better base to attempt it.
Digging Tools: [Tier 0 or Tier 1?] (0/?)
Herbalism: (5/5) [COMPLETE] See below.
Study of the Land: (0/??)
Knowledge of the Land: (0/???) [LOCKED] Multiple Prerequisite Techs to Unlock. This Tech is a Capstone, and is unlikely to be researched anytime soon. It's Cost can be reduced in Various Ways, but not by much.
Forest Survival (1/5)
Techs
Primitive House Creation: You can build and repair Primitive Houses. They hold 1 Worker apiece. Lack of Housing leads to unrest, make sure you keep enough housing for your workers.
Basic Nature Preservation: The Overforage effect on your Home Tile takes 1 turn more to start, giving you 2 turns of foraging in that tile before the effects begin to occur. This also boosts recovery from overforaging, meaning it takes 1 turn to recover from two forage actions on that tile.
This also unlocks potential new Tech Trees, and reduces the cost of some others, if they relate to your Home Tile.
Herbalism: The Ability to Gather Regents and Herbs for healing the Wounded and Sick. It Requires 5 Herbs to Heal the Sick, and 3 Regents to Heal the Wounded. When Gathering, declare which one to focus on.

B-5. Abundant Food.
Lush Forest: A forest that by the actions of the gods, and mostly by the actions of Mortals, is filled with an abundant Growth beyond that of other forests. Certain Collection Caps are higher. A holdover from the Origin of the World.
Lush Forest Modifiers currently in effect: Fertile Soil. True Lake. Lush. Poisonous Fruit, apparently heliotrope colored.(Invasive Species) Toxin/Poison resistant Rabbits.
Invasive Species: Due to the Combination of the Lush Modifier, and this plant's toxicity, it's starting to run wild. Normally, this alone wouldn't be an issue, but it finds fertile soil to grow in here as well. The Hests have to find a way to deal with them before Turn 10, and preferably earlier.
Labyrinth of Ice: A small labyrinth in the ice sheet. Arrows point the way out. Not currently discovered. Out of the Way, if you're out here, you approach the very edge of the Fifth Axis.
Pit of Oblivion: A strange purple-glowing Pit, going all the way to the center of the Fifth Axis. Slippery outcroppings surround it, so nothing can fall in by accident.
Grey Binding Casket: Requires a Named Individual to use. As Named Individuals have yet to appear, it's a bit useless for now. Currently Located at D-3.
This artifact is a burial receptacle made of some kind of holy stone. If this artifact is used to lay a mortal to rest, then the mistakes that specific mortal made in life cannot be repeated by anyone else on the tile upon which it is buried. The soul of that mortal will be trapped within the Gray Binding Casket for as long as it remains active. After being defiled, the casket will not work correctly a second time, but it may still have some kind of unpredictable effects.
Stump of the Mainstream: A unmovable object located near the north of B-5. Those who meditate upon it will forever be mediocre, unable to make great advancements. On the other hand, they won't ever screw up anything simple. It also restores mental acuity, removing Madness and other such mental effects. A second meditation leaves that person nearly brain-dead, capable of only the simplest actions.
This is the stump of a particularly large tree. Each turn, one mortal may spend their action meditating while sitting upon this stump. Doing this will purge any abnormal mental conditions affecting that mortal and make them resistant to such effects in the future, and the added clarity will reduce the odds of them screwing up simple tasks. However, this action will doom that mortal to a life of mediocrity; unable to accomplish great things barring other divine altercation. If a mortal meditates upon the stump more than once in their life, they will become like a zombie - unable to perform actions requiring high mental ability but also becoming very easy to manipulate.
- Requires Name by MonkeyLord.
A White Ape of some size. It eats the poison fruits, and lays eggs which can be collected. Territorial, requires gifts to allow collection. Laid back in the presence of the Hests. They're good People, taking such good care of the Forest.
Abilities: Unknown
As always, feel free to tell me if you spot an error. Lot of Stuff this turn.
