Working 1: AWE shall attempt to matchmake the Phoenix of Hope and the Dragon of Blood on Ferrous.
"Come now, come now. In your loins shall you join, loving and diving to depths high and low. Come now, come now, enjoy the fruit of Hope, for it is the sweetest and most delicious of crop. Come now, come now, enjoy the soup of Blood, for it is the most nourishing and filling of liquid around."

"I dance and swirl in ecstasy. I dance and swirl in love, for a master that loves not, cares not. I dance and swirl for their amusement, their smile, but see it not. I dance and swirl with HOPE and LOVE, though my ego and mind scream in unison - but my heart denies them both. It pumps with BLOOD and Toil for it desires deeply and suddenly. For this I dance and swirl, by celestial loft and rust-lust creed."
AWE takes the form of a moving mass of asbestos fibres upon the surface of Ferrous that resembles a dancing humanoid in veil and skirt. Veins of blood move within the mass, turning and twisting with AWE's movement and feelings. The eyes of AWE gleam red with Hope and its heart pulses rapidly upon the surface of the iron planet.
"Upon my master's skin, I caress myself in perpetuity. With my swerves and soothes I caress myself, releasing myself into the world as seedlings upon verdant soil. Look now as they dance, wriggle and move! Our children, master and mine - though of mind and limitation, if not body and soul."
AWE creates the Djinni during their descent, living mats of asbestos that take on a humanoid shape, they possess a core of Blood within them that on the world of Ferrous, turns into mercury. Djinni consume metal and mineral to live and absorb heat to power their consumption. Djinni breed in the manner of their divine progenitor, dancing in groups or pairs to shed fibres into new individuals, who grow to adulthood with the years.
"An empty world, how loveless, how uncaring. It will not do, it will not do."
1 Decree: create hoses.
A hose is an asbestos-based mineral organism that resides near active asbestos volcanoes. They resemble a fat garden hose with eight pairs of stubby feet.They pluck asbestos from the air to feed themselves and grow. They reproduce sexually, laying many eggs which are laid near the base of the volcano. Each hose is either male or female and are equipped with efficient digging apparati to dig out nests. Whilst able to move, most hoses are rather sedentary once they find a good spot to filter feed, only moving to breed or when asbestos concentrations are too low.
1 Decree: create panels.
A panel is an asbestos-based mineral organism that grows on Ferrous. Wide flat organisms, panels can grow to large dimensions over a flat area. Panels have thousands of small grooves on their underside which are used to secure themselves into the ground and nibble at it. Panels live by converting heat and metal into nutrients. A sedentary organism, it is plantlike in that it takes root in the area it is born into. Panels can grow vegetatively but are capable of sexual reproduction by absorbing the fibres of another panel. During the hottest parts of the year, panels release millions of their fibres into
the atmosphere, which facilitates reproduction. Once a panel is fertilised, it begins compartmentalising a piece of itself into a new panel containing the genetic information if itself and the other parent. This seed is then blown off with and hurled into the wind, eventually landing and growing in its new home.
