It has been close to a half a millenia since Insula Numine was created. The world develops and changes with increased complexity.
404AC: Ōkeanós works on the BelowWorld(7): After the damage from the water that constantly falls from various opning of from the ceiling, Ōkeanós decides that he should reinforce his abode. He hardens the ice, he carves space for water to safely travel through the land without side effects, but even then, the warmth that seeps intakes its tool occasionally.
410AC: Ōkeanós decorates the BelowWorld(2): Ōkeanós was not satisfied with the plain old ice all around, so he creates different things out of it. Trees he saw on the AboveWorld, dwellings that no one inhabits... When he is satisfied with his work, he sits and plans his next move. But the structures of ice are just very... uncomfortable. The ice replicas just don't look as good as their originals, and are somehow, off.
412AC: Ōkeanós creates his people, the Ice Fairies(2): Ōkeanós looks at the empty dwellings he had created, an decided that some people must live in them after all. He picks up a piece of ice, and from it he molds the first Ice Fairy. He makes alot of them, and watches them select their homes. But things devolve soon afterwards, as his people split into countless small factions out of petty reasons, and the BelowWorld is now a warzone.
420AC: B*st creates mortal animals in her image to inhabit the AboveWorld, again(4): Taking lessons from her previous actions, B*st creates new feline animals, but there is a problem. Cat body plan is just not really fit to occupy may niches, so the unfit ones fail to establish stable populations, and die off. Some of them do still live though, and have established an arboreal ecosystem.
422AC: B*st makes her race,the Catfolk, and leads them near the Ur-Tree(10): After her semi-succesfull seeding of life, B*st looks at the Gnomes, and is inspired. She quickly gets to work. She picks up one of the arboreal cats and molds it into the first Catfolk. After making a couple of thousand of them,B*st then leads them into a forest not too far away from Ur-Tree. As soon as they get there, her people get to work, building shelters, and catching food.
425AC: B*st invents sex genders to all living creations(8 ): B*st sits on a rock and thinks: what is a ''she''? After finding no explanation herself, she decides that it must mean something. She creates genders, male and female. She then bestows these organs to all of the living creation. Trees bloom, animals mate. It also causes the populations to decrease a little, since sexual reproduction requires more effort and fitness. After all is done, B*st climbs the Ur-Tree, and sleeps loudly.
434AC: Velkos shapes a group of Gnomes to be his people, and leads them to the Ur-Tree(9): Velkos peers into his creations memories again, and sees the Gnomes. He really appreciates them, their silliness an all. But he sees something missing, a spark, the need to know. He goes up to one of the Gnome Outposts, and uses his powers on it inhabitants. They get longer, their legs turn into that of a deers, and they gain long tails. He then leads his new people directly to the Ur-Tree. Soon, a town populated by them is built on the tree. He names then the Geyik.
435AC: Velkos kills the plains(6): Velkos then fixes his mistake with the crystals, by turning the plains to deserts so there will be no plant to burn. He kills the plants and pulverises the dirt into sand, and dries the rivers and lakes. But this causes these zones to become unhospitable, and some Gnome habitations had to be abandoned. The elimination of rivers have also caused the remaining rivers to be able to get more water, flooding the places close to rivers, and since tress can't grow on sand, the forests have become much damper, so they are now like a cross between a rainforest and a swamp.
444AC: Velkos sleeps for the first time in his life(7): After all is done, Velkos feels a thing he have never did before. He yawns. He flies onto the Ur-Tree, lays down, and sleeps for the first time.
456AC: Gambal shapes the underground to his liking(9): After his long exploration of the underground, Gambal has seen enough. In his eyes, it is just unbearably ugly and plain. He uses his powers to shape these caves, creating specktaculat views and amazing shapes. he creates bending and spiraling stagmalites and stalactites, enourmous, masterwork openings and wavery, smooth walls. He laughs in joy at his work, proud of himself.
460AC: Gambal inspires his the Gnomes(6): After a long while, he returns to the surface. He had exited from an opeing pretty close to the Ur-Tree, so he looks and marvels. He then notices Velkos's kin. He converses with them, and is inspired by their knowledge about their surroundings and their endless curiosity. He has the idea to teach his people just that. He runs back to LongHoses and tells Gnomes there about the importance of understanding the world around them. He teaches them new words, and new concepts. Some are impressed and are eager,, some are not so. After these new things found their way to all Gnomes, a sizable amount of Gnomes have rejected the teachings, and have gone to form their on kingdoms, separate from the first one. The original ones are still the majority and are curious now, so Gambal was somehow successful.
461AC: Gambal founds a cult establishes a religion around himself(2): The respect for Gambal among Gnomes is reduced greatly when he proposes that they should worship him. A crushing majority of Gnomes refuse to do so, and their reason is that there are other gods and deities that have done more then him, and he is not the original one. A number of Gnomes even reject his previous teachings too, and join the other kingdoms. A small minority accepts and forms their on kingdom, with a temple for him at the center of their fortress.
481AC: Numeros is born and he writes a book that has everything that happened and will ever happen(9): From a dream Kipp has in her sleep, and the scientific awakening combines to form Numeros. Numeros, seemingly pre-programmed to do it, creates an empty book and starts writing. He writes about the all things of the past and future, and carries the book with him everywhere. Books is named Tempus Dictus.
485AC: Numeros gives the gift of language to mortals(1): Numeros has the idea to teach the mortals about language, but after learning that they already have it, he scraps the idea.
486AC: Numeros sleeps and dreams of the future(4): Numeros lays down on a rock and slumbers. He dreams of her mother opening her eyes, colorful, small creatures swimming in a clean lake, and sprouts of shining yellow stuff on a rock in the dark. He can't make sense of it, but he knows what he saw.
