BEGIN: 1000

This world...fresh and pristine...but formless...unstable

Major geographical feature (-50): Volcano Island
The crust of this unnamed world ruptures as hot gases, molten rock, and ash attempt to escape from below the depths. As molten rock spews and cools, the first landmass begins to peak out of the water

Special Landmark (-25) : Obsidian Spire
A massive spike of volcanic grass emerges from the seas. It shoots hundreds of feet into the skies, bearing silent witness to a world full of potential

Perculus is jubilant to hear the melodious chimes of Tirama. For his mere gift of the corded necklace, from this feeling welling up within the thick metals that coat his skin, the Titan's face of Vanity gleams with a great smile. The gilded surface of Perculus' second face is polished so by the sweeping currents of the sea, that the Sun's beams reflect upon it.

The Lord of Storm's grin is just so, that it refracts upon all the heavens above, creating hundreds of specular lights. Stars. And so it was, that the basis of the worlds above were the wide-eyed smile of Perculus. May they ever bear his jovial heart upon the world below.

In his jubilation, Perculus creates the many wheeling stars and constellations above (100 Points)

At that, the Collossus digs dip within his abdomen and pulls forth a collection of seven artefacts. Each bears seven varrying lengths of bronze rods, fluted, that the sea breeze may pass through them. To this they are connected by strands, his thick vessels and veins of molten blood, to a core of wood from which they may so hang. To the seven World Trees that have sprung from the Primordial ocean, he affixes upon them these chimes. Ever may their melodies soothe the nascent creatures of the land, as Tirama did for he.

In a return of inspiration, Perculus creates artefacts that whistle in the wind for each great tree. (50 Points)

At this feat The Lord of Storms looks upon the pair of new ascendant beings, the Dark Slate, Ordo. And the Shimmering Brillance, Frost. To they, his granite face of 'Resolve' speaks resolute in tone, "KNOW THAT I NAME THEE KIN!" He declares along with great open arms. For all the many meanings his words bring forth.

III.

The Titans grow ever more diligent. Only a few among them still slumber, and the world becomes stranger and greater by the moment.

Mana is created. This divine energy permeates the cosmos, a fragment of its creator's power. Sentient creatures who manage to harness Mana may imbue themselves with it to grow and perform miraculous acts.

Seven World Trees sprout around the world-sea, rising until they breach the surface of the waves and spread their vast canopies to greet the Sun. These magnificent trees generate and recycle Mana, forming the hearts of magic in this new world.

Fairies appear by the World Trees. These magical creatures sustain themselves upon the Mana around them and adapt to the environments they find themselves in. They are a cheerful, friendly race, whose lives are innately tied to the land they choose to inhabit. They are the first thinking race of this new reality.

With a shaking of stone and a steaming of seas, a landmass known as Volcano Island breaks forth from the skin of the world. It spews molten earth that cools into the first solid ground. While still barren and lifeless, the fertile volcanic ash coating its sides promises a fine foundation for growth.

Nearby, an Obsidian Spire comes to be as well, striking out high into the sky to loom over the newborn world.

Stars and Constellations appear, cascading in their multitudes across the once-black night sky to illuminate the void. This tapestry of light brings great joy into the hearts of the Fairies, the only living beings to truly appreciate the vast change in the cosmos. They shall never forget the sight.

The Chimes of the World Trees are created. These magical artifacts adorn the seven World Trees, whistling as the wild primordial wind passes through them. The sounds they make soothe the spirits of those who live in their shadow.

Tirama, noticing the new landmass, decides to create a group of plants to inhabit the new landmass, a family of plants that can spread quickly across the land.

Belphagus awakens and surveys the newborne world, and decides that it is... rather lacking in something. To add in his own spice into the mix, he sets to work.

(50 points) Belphagus creates the Gapheli, large, powerful orca humanoids. Amphibious and tailor-made to oppose the fairies, the Gapheli are savage and tribal creatures gifted with cunning and strength survive what maladies and trials the new world may offer.

50 (points) He then creates a large landmass to the southwest of the volcanic island, sharing, to a degree, in the first landmass's volcanism, if more muted and inert. The landscape is divided into to parts, with the eastern half being rough and hilly, with plenty of valleys and fjords, these give way to the lowlands which are dominated by plains and expanses, with large rivers flowing from the mountainous part of the landmass and a few hilly areas and lone mountains sprinkled in.

IV.

Grass in its myriad forms sprouts from the waiting earth, swaddling the young world in green.

Gapheli are created. These savage and powerful creatures become the second thinking race upon the new world. They are amphibious, with powerful bodies resembling those of the Orca of other worlds. Their creator intends them as a counter to the Fairies. Soon the first folk are under attack at the roots of the World Trees. The innocence lost in these first clashes can never be recovered, though the soothing effect of the Chimes proves to be a deterrent of a sort against greater violence.

Belphagus' Continent is raised from the waters south-west of Volcano Island. This great land holds both mountain valleys, hills and fjords in the east and endless plains in its western reaches. In the south, proximity to the world's pole results in cold tundra instead. The landmass envelops one of the World Trees in its western end, a mighty oak that now casts a long shadow over the grasslands. Life is quick to colonize the new continent, with simple lifeforms, shore-dwelling arthropods, Gapheli and Fairies coming to inhabit the land.

Feel free to name the continents and things you create, Titans. The sea needs a name, for example, and the world doesn't have a name either.

From ash...from clay...from nothing...I form thee

New Sapient Race (-50): The Ashborn
A medium sized humanoid species distinguished by their ash colored complexion. Not as physically imposing as the Gapheli, the Ashborn are more in tune to mana and their effects. Perhaps they'll strike a middle ground between the Fairies and the Gapheli

"Whom art I, to cast a name upon the infinite cosmos?" So speaks the burning visage of Perculus, the face of Penance.

The Bronze Titan looks upon his kin and admires their work for an age. Unmoving from his place standing amidst the sea. He bears witness to the first crimson streaks of blood across this world as the Gapheli of Belphagus tear apart the innocents of Frost's Faeries. The World Trees are stricken at their roots supping gently of the beginnings of blooded conflicts. To that his face of Penance weeps, expelling a thick steam across the land for Perculus tears evaporate upon it. This steam thickens and takes upon itself a dour, dark hue, and at last rises into the heavens, blotting out the sun and stars. These clouds rumble with a cacophony of pain, thundering and wailing. Within an hour, the first crack of lightning erupts from on high, a massive bolt of light. Followed there after by a deluge of fresh rainwater unlike that of the seas. This storm itself, does not part for some time.

Perculus creates the first storm like that of his namesake. (50 Points)

Nice, but you don't have to pay points for a mundane storm. Would you like to make it unusual in some way (permanent somewhere, all storms in this world channel Mana, gives birth to lightning people, etc)?

(( Hmm, perhaps not permanent. Though I do like the feeling of them channelling this innate mana like you mentioned. So we'll say that, on top of striking a reverent fear, not of the Titans persay, but of nature as a whole and the awe of life that takes root in its rains simultaneously in the few races of the world. ))
