Once more, does the cycle of weather be attempted, to self-sustain in cyclical nature. Sol shall heat the water, to rise and form the clouds, which let loss their water.

Next, Ōkeanós turns to the seas around the winter wonderland, chill and cold. They create many types of plant life, from the simple algae and plankton, to the sea-bushes spreading their tubed fibers.
Then, learning from B*st's past, They create many many types of beings, each more wonderous as the last. Carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, all part of a cycle of life.

The oceans shall be awash with beautiful color, light & dark, and wonderous life.
 With a base to feed them, these creatures, while not mortals, shall be fantastic to watch.


The god of light, life, and the birds arrives, finally.

[A_Curious_Cat]

B*st looks in amazement upon the works of her siblings.

She decides to see what the fruit of their efforts are before making her next move.

In the meantime, B*st takes another nap.

3rd Turn

The third century goes by and the gods did what they did.

Actions of Gods

256AC: Velkos, the god of balance is born and creates the day(10): By the influence of mother Kipp and the need for balance, Velkos comes to life. He then creates the day, by sclupting the Sol out of a single star. Sol shines upon Insula Numine. It's dawn for the first time. It is warm now, and this has seemingly no harm to the shadow beings, even though they can't feed now, are skittering around as usual. Velkos then creates Lua out of a boulder. He then makes it night again, bringing about the first sunset. Then he places Lua onto the night sky. Lua's cold, dull light shines upon the AboveWorld. When one is tired, the other shall give way to the other, allowing a balance and a giving shadow beings a chance to exist. Sun and moonlight can shine upon BelowWorld in small amount for a brief time every cycle, too. So it is also not so dark anymore.

258AC: Velkos grinds the ground and plants the first plants(7): Velkos looks at the hard, inhospitable ground, and stomps with all of his strenght. It turns into dry, rocky soil. He then spreads a variety of different seeds onto the barren dirt. Some of these seeds do not germinate, but most do, creating forests in wetter areas and open grasslands on drier areas.

259AC: Velkos creates his helpers(2): To observe the world more effectively, Velkos creates his kin. These are small, winged creatures, who are like him, are immortal, but are much less powerfull. But there is a problem. Helpers have their free will, so eve though they listen to commands, they are not obliged to act upon them. They use their limited powers for mischief, messing with Velkos' mother and siblings, and the shadow kin. Some even go feral entirely, not listening to anyone and behaving like mindless vermin.

265AC: Ōkeanós creates the Ocean Shrubland(5): Seeing what his brother did with the AboveWorld, Ōkeanós looks at the seas surrounding his abode. He then makes new seeds and tiny critters to have them fill here. But there is a problem. The ocean does not provides with much when it comes to nutrients, since it is infinitely deep. So the sea shrubbery are confined to the general vicinity of the BelowWorld, where the islets are close enough for them to get nutrients from. Algea and planktons however, they spread onto a much larger territory. But they too come to a stop hen the nutrients from the earth becomes too sparse.

271AC: Ōkeanós makes immortal animals (8 ): Ōkeanós wanted his place to be more then Velkos', so he created beings of all shapes and sizes to inhabit and thrive on these sea shrublands. There are ones that eat at the shrubbery and the algea, ones that eat those, and finally ones that eat both plants and the creatures. There are ones that swim, ones that fly, ones that walk, and ones that do a combination of these. This new ecosystem is not very stable though, and feral servants of Velkos are found here as well, messing things up for no reason but their own childish entertainment. Even though his creation is distrubed by those immortal vermin, Ōkeanós enjoys watching his creations live their functionally infinite lives and die by the hands of others.

280AC: B*st watches the scenery to find out what his siblings have created so far(6): B*st inspects his surroundings. His siblings have really did a good job. He sees his creations as well, playing on the branches of trees and the open expanses of long, slender grass. He sees the water crystal on top of the central mountain. He fights off the mischevious kin of Velkos. He then sees the vast shrubland covering the ocean, with his sibling Ōkeanós flying above it. He decides not to go there, as t is cold and wet, and cats don't like that.

281AC: B*st takes a nap. Again(7): Kinda content with what he saw of the world, B*st lays down on one of the trees and sleeps. He is interrupted a couple of times by the feral servants, bu otherwise, it was a good nap.

The World

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Insula Lumine is now a lifeful place, with surrounding seas and the AboveWorld having life commonplace. Forests and grasslands fill the AboveWorld, trees growing near rivers, and grasslands occupying everywhere else.  Surrounding waters house an ecosystem of animals and plants that do not age at all, and only die to violence. There are also countless servants of Velkos, doing whatever they want for most of the time, only a minority still listening to their creator. It also rains sometimes, causing floods.

BelowWorld haven't changed much again, than seeing at least some light sometimes.

[TricMagic]

Ōkeanós sinks into the waters, crafting mineral-rich ice sheets and waters and shells, for new life to germinate to and fill. The shape is like that of a circle, spreading far and deep, refracting the light that passes through them.

Ōkeanós, after 50 years, then creates heat beneath the deep waves, further down still than the ice he once made. By now, the plants would have consumed it, forming their own colonies in it's place. Slowly does he give rise to the heat, warm waters coming from a sphere of red ice, which warms rather than cools. This is divine work made manifst, to give warmth to the oceans, and currents to that which had none.

Last, Ōkeanós creates a race of Merfolk, with legs like many animals, varied for each one, but humanoid bodies atop. The Mortals live underwater, but can breath air as well. Some may also manifest arms like animals, and all have features to their bodies which equate with which one they take from.

[A_Curious_Cat]

B*st randomly picks one of  Velkos creations and raises up some of it's members, giving them sapience, free will, and a medium-sized humanoid form (while still keeping traits from their previous form).

B*st then creates beings in her image to watch over and protect the uplifted creatures and give them companionship.

B*st then wonders aloud why the narrator keeps calling her "him", before curling up for another nap.

(Just a bit of RP )
Velkos stands upon a hill, overlooking the now green and sunlit AboveWorld, mulling over his accomplishments.

"I put every bit of effort i could into creating Sol, Lua and their celestial dance, to make sure that the most critical part of this world worked correctly, and all my efforts paid off. That along with my creation of the plants, i have laid the very foundations for a world that doesn't need the gods to guide it."

"The mishap with my little watchers was unfortunate. I was too hasty in my quest to have sight over the world, i made them far too numerous and with far too much intellect, without considering the consequences. But if they wish to be free, so be it, who am i to deny them this?"
While Ōkeanós was beneath the sea, Velkos made his next moves.

"Despite the independence of my watchers, i can still peer into the memories of their travels and see what they've seen. In them, i have seen the mountain that sits at the very center of this island. The water that flows from there feeds many of the island's rivers.
I shall travel there, and plant a seed atop it, which will hopefully in time grow to be the greatest tree in the world and envelop the crystal that sits there too, as to protect it and so that its waters will flow through and are brought to the top of the tree, to the highest point in the world, to join with the clouds or to fall back down to the ground below again in waterfalls."

"With my creation of the plants above the ground that thrive in the light, i have inadvertently created another imbalance in the world. I shall strike the earth once more to create caves, openings and ravines in the earth. Places where plants, fungi and creatures that fear the light can flourish too."

"Finally, i shall make clusters of large and colorful crystals sprout in the plains of this land, to reflect and refract the magnificent light of both Sol and Lua, so as to inspire wonder and curiosity in all those who look upon the crystals."

Gambal, God of Magic, Arts and Mysteries, suddenly comes to existence in a burst of laughter. He takes the form of a typical gnome wearing a pointy hat, generally red but sometimes of other colors, according to his mood. Often he smiles, often he giggles and often he dances, strolling around while playing music on his flute. For him, every moment can be an occasion for play and he amuses himself by transforming things as he likes, to have fun and to add diversity to the world around him.

Too much order and uniformity displeases him, so he tries to disturb reality, but he doesn't really have a fixed goal, he just does as he fancy. He cares for others and desires to amaze souls with works of art and effusions of beauty. But he also wants to fill minds with incomprehension and to hide truths under an arcane veil; to change the nature of things and to make a myriad of enchantments. He is manifold, complex and strange.

At first, Gambal scampers here and there while playing his flute, but he is sad that the rocks and trees don't seem to listen to his music, so he attempts to bestow a spirit upon inanimate objects, plants and wild animals. He doesn't want to give them sentience, but only to give them a vital energy and make them able to feel the divine resonance of his melodies.

He then explores some more and finds the inhabitants of Insula Numine a bit too ordinary for his taste, so he decides to multiply himself in mortal form, creating the gnomes, a race similar to him that builds its dwellings under the earth.

Finally, he discovers the deep holes and caves that Velkos has just created and he rushes there in excitement to discover the many treasures they hide.

4th Turn

It has been more than 300 years since Kipp have created Insula Numine. Gods did what they always did, sometimes right, sometimes wrong.

Actions of Gods

324AC: Ōkeanós creates a giant sphere of ice for life to use(7): Ōkeanós  dives deep into the infinite depths, to sclupt a giant sphere of ice. Life finds its way there, but in the process of replacing the ice, plants and animals alike disturbs its shape, making it less even.

374AC: Ōkeanós creates a sphere of red ice, one that warms instead of cools, so the ocean will get warmer and there will be currents(5): After waiting for life to colonise his template, he decends even deeper. There, he creates something that will release heat upon the world. A sphere of red ice that releases heat around itself endlessly. The heat quickly ascends and creates ocean currents. But as a side effect, the water is now more oxygenated so strictly aquatic immortal animals are having a hard time breathing, and the ocean currents are stronf enough to disband and topsize clumps of sea shrubbery. Belowworld is now a bit more warmer too.

375AC: Ōkeanós creates the Merfolk(6): Finally, Ōkeanós creates his own race of mortals. These folk have their lower bodies resemble random immortal animals that exist, and their upper bodies resemble a 'human', whatever that is. But shortly after their creation, Some varieties die off due to them not having enough adaptations to get enough oxygen from the water. Only more piscious, amphibious and cetacean ones survive in the end.

378AC: B*st shapes the first sapients from the watchers of Velkos(1): B*st awakens from his decades long nap and looks at his surroundings. He decided that Velkos' creations will be a good template for what he has in mind. He catches a good deal of them and alters their bodies and minds to be more 'humanoid', whataver that is. But even after succeding in his redesinging, Watchers just use their wings to fly, and do not change in any way. It turns out that they are already very smart and have free will, and do not care for building a society.

380AC: B*st creates his own watchers(8 ): After the sounding failure to create a civilised race, B*st creates his own divine helpers. These are also shadow beings. They resemble small birds made out of darkness. They do not have free will and will always listen to their master. But as a small setback, they too need sustenance like his older kin, which is darkness, or else they will dissipate.

380AC: B*st has an argument with her mother, Kip on the subject of her gender, then sleeps(8 ): B*st then uses a group of her servants to lift her up into the sky, to complain about the narration depicting her as a male. She goes to her mother Kipp, and tells her that she is a girl, and she should not force a gender identity on her, or else she would call child support to get her out of here. Kipp opens her eyes, and with the sound of a young women, she utters a single word. 'kay. Having her confirmation, B*st decends back and sleeps again.

385AC: Velkos plants the Ur-Tree(9): By peering into the memories of his watchers, Velkos learns that there is a magic crystal on top of a mountain on the center of AboveWorld. He also learns that it is the source of freshwater. He has an idea. He travels there by using his magic wings, and land on top of the mountain, which is now a crater lake due to constant erosion. He plants a seed like no other, which quickly grows in a matter of just a few months, into the immortal Ur-Tree. Ur-Tree surround the crystal, and carries its water into the sky, where it flows down tis branches in giant waterfalls. Other gods look in awe at such a magnificent sight.

386AC: Velkos creates cave systems all across the AboveWorld(6): Velkos looks at the ground, and sees potential. He opens cavities and tunnels inside AboveWorld, creating a variety of creatures to inhabit them in the process. Bioluminecent fungi and animals. This place have also become a nesting site for shadow beings, since it provides them with the darkness they need. But this caused a number of side effects. Some of the water from river near the cave entrances have filled a number of sections, and some have created waterfalls that go straight into the BelowWorld by breaking the fragile sections of the rock. Cold air have seeped in, making these lower parts of the caves colder and more icy. And BelowWorld have gotten a bit more warmer, and has more ice. Some ice scluptures are ruined due to the surge of water. And due to some water going into caves now, some riversand lakes have either gotten smaller or dried up, so the forests are less prevalent, and plains are now more widespread.

388AC: Velkos erects colorful crystal all over the plains(4): After the extensive results of his excavation project, Velkos decides that he should do something to light up the mood, by making colorful crystals and placing them all over the plains. These crystals look beatifull, but they can also create wildfires when plains go dry due to long rainless spells due to them acting like magnifiers. Plains are periodically cleansed by these fires, but luckily, fires can't do much harm to the forests, since it is much damper.

390AC: Gambal is born and gives the nature a spirit(9): With a giggle from Kipp on an event involving a watcher and a merperson, and the omnipresent playful chaos gives rise to Gambal, the playful, small god. He laughs into existance and makes a ☼flute☼ for himself out of a random, dry tree branch. He plays it for a while, but soon realises that no one is here to listen. So he gives his surroundings a spirit. A, basal, instinctual consciousness that all things of nature posesses. He plays his flute to this spirit, and the spirit likes it. Some watchers too come to listen.

393AC: Gambal creates a race of sapient mortal in his image, Gnomes(10): Gambal, in his constant state of chaotic happiness, splits into two. He then looks into his clone, and sees something greater. He does this a ton, with each clone being unique and different, male or female. He then tells them what to do, and his people get to work. They dig burrows into the dirt, and with the surrouding bits of stone, they make tools. Soon, the first Gnome Fortress, LongHoses is built. It has fungal gardens inside walled off sections of the caves, and dedicated bedrooms.

396AC: Gambal discovers and explores the caves(4): Gambal leaves the Gnomes of LongHoses to their own devices, and goes to explore those caves he saw earlier. He dives in. He sees shiny mushrooms, small, eyeless salamanders, cold underground lakes, and the giant waterfalls going onto the BelowWorld. He is not very impressed by what he saw though, there is no treasure, its just some rock and water.

As a note, circle means around the base of the isle and wonderland, forming more a cylinder that spreads down and in/out unevenly, slowly fanning further outward. The red ice, meanwhile, would be directly underneath.

[Strik3r]

Velkos lays atop the Ur-Tree, basking in the sunlight, reflecting upon his efforts and considering his next course of action.

"The creation of the Ur-Tree is a great success, as were my efforts to create caves and the little side effects of my crystals are hardly a severe one.
I am yet to suffer any great failures, but i fear my luck will turn around at the most critical moment and betray me when i need it the most."

"In the watchers' memories, i saw Gambal's creation of the gnomes. Oh how they sing and dance, wonderful little creatures really, but they lack a certain spark... Yet they will serve well as a base for me to mold like clay, into a people of my own image. I'm sure Gambal will not mind should i pluck some of their number and work upon them. I shall mold them, make them taller and bestow upon them legs like those of deer, so that they may be as nimble and I will give them long tails to balance themselves with. And last, i will grant to them boundless curiosity. I will show to them the Ur-Tree, but i will not guide their path beyond that."

"My crystals lighting wildfires in the dry plains is unfortunate but perhaps it would be best if there were no plants in those places at all. So it shall be, I will travel to the driest places of this land, and there i will uproot every plant, grind the earth until it is nothing but sand and part the clouds, exposing the land to the sun's heat until the last remnants of rivers and lakes dry up there. A place with no plants, to serve as counterbalance to the places of this land that have countless plants."

"Once i am finished, i shall return to the Ur-Tree to rest. I am yet to do so ever, i think it is time to."

[TricMagic]

Work on the winter wonderland, making it more solid against destruction from the elements.
Build castles, towns, houses, trees, flowers, all in ice and glaciers, forming a natural wonderland.
Ōkeanós then creates the Yuki, ice fairies capable of changing size from 12 inches to 20 feet, a magical immortal race attuned to ice, and capable of manipulating it and the cold. When they die, they will reform in the place they have chosen as their home so long as the land isn't completely destroyed.

Now there will be random events on the world that are unrelated to your actions, since there are mortals now. Wars between them, significant changes to the environment they cause etc.

Also, be ready for surprise for the 500th in-game anniversary, for there will be something pretty unexpected.

[Yellow Pixel]

Gambal still roams the underground tunnels and recesses of Insula Numine, but the bare stone walls and the damp grottoes aren't satisfying for his artistic eyes. Therefore, he endeavors to morph the far-flung rock masses in multifarious shapes: round and curvy, stretched and drooping, sharp and spiny. He makes tall pillars, arched vaults, wavy curtains, stalagmites and stalactites, doing his best to give them unique and uneven features defying the usual properties of minerals. In this way, by gathering all the magical power he posseses, he tries to modify the nature of rock to make it pour like a viscous liquid from the top of the caves or drop as textile fabric.

After having put his best esthetic efforts into practice in the depths of earth, he returns among the Gnomes in order to develop their civilization. This time, he focuses on enhancing their language, that exists since the first Gnome Fortress is known under the name of LongHoses but that is rather primitive for now. So he teaches them a more advanced vocabulary and grammar, while encouraging them to find names for all the lifeforms, geographic features and ressources surrounding them, above and below ground level.

Then, using their more sophisticated language as a tool, he encourages them to ask themselves questions about their own nature, the nature of the world, the reason for their existence and even the profundity of the unknown. He also attemps to make them ponder about the cycle of life and death. However, he emphasizes the importance of always keeping a doubt about what is considered as truths. He ultimately incites them to form their first religious beliefs and to center them around the worship of him.
