11th TurnA foul threat to the balance of Insula Numine approaches, will gods be able to prevent it, or will Taebory have her own way?
Actions of Gods1002AC: Ōkeanós crafts the Gungnir, the thunderbolt of heaven[2]: Ōkeanós senses the threat world is under, and crafts a weapon to aid in its defeat. This weapon is eesentially a giant, overglorified tazer, and will only stun a deity, for a short while.
1003AC: Velkos gifts his veil to B*st, after turning it into a ball of light: Velkos thinks to himself about the risk he is taking. For once in his life, he fears of ending. To help his stress, he turns his vial of uncertainty into a ball of light for B*st. He then gifts it to her, which she accepts with a concerned demeanor.
1005AC: Gambal forges an armor for the wielder of Gungnir[3]: To have one of his siblings use it while wielding Gungnir, Gambal crafts a set of armor. This set of armor is built for a humanoid though, so only Numeros is big enough and has the right shape to use it.
1010AC: The War for the Tomorrow[5]: All of the Kipp's kin, except Velkos and the nameless, gather to stop Enoby. The elder goddess is seen approaching at high speeds, but they stand their ground. B*st is first to move, springing toards the radio and shattering it midair. Ebony screams at her, calling her vicious profanities. This distraction was enough for Numeros to land a hit on Ebony using Gungnir[10], boosted by Gambal's flute, which severely stuns Ebony right there. Their triumph is cut short though, suddenly a collosal wave of powerful forgotten beasts hit the squad head on. They are no match to them individually, but with such high numbers, they were getting zergling rushed. This has allowed Ebony to regain her composure, then sneak her way out and head to the Grove.
While all of this was happening though, Velkos and Kipp made their way to the Grove and Velkos has already started to absorb the Grove. But things go wrong. Ebony arrives much earlier than expected. She also exerts force on the chaotic energy in the Grove. She wins the struggle, and uses the power to open a portal to the chaos of the oblivion. But as soon she does this, Keystone activates to seal it, and by the quick action of Velkos and Kipp, the portal closes as soon as it opens, with only a few things manage to pass through it. The Grove is finally gone, with a smoldering crater and a few random things and beings laying around, alive ones unconscious still remaining of it.. Before the others realise her and Goffy's trick and come after her all at once, she escapes, grabbing two other deities she recognises out of the random stuff. Goffy also retreats when he sees Ebony rushing away. They manage to sneal out of sight before forgotten beasts run out.
Children of Kipp cheer. They have won. But Ebony have also a gained a little from this encounter.
1078AC: The Nameless tries to get rid of the beasts[9]: By using a combination of crushing, shielding, and hallucinative spores, it manages to kill all of the beasts, and prevents any more to approach it.

Not much has changed this round. The world has developed, but deities had more important matters on hand.
1000AC: A huge festival is thrown to celebrate the thousand years of exixtence. Everyone were invited.
1011AC: A weird malady is appears. It mainly afflicts the mentally weak, having them seek out light and frequently zone out, complaining about visions of a white, shiny being and a sickeningly sweet taste in their mouths. Their eyes also turn to a bright amber color that glows in the dark. There is no known cause. The harmful symptoms can be supressed by magic, but the affliction still remains in the eyes.
1038AC: The situtation of the Lightborn has gotten a bit complicated. The fast rate of mutations and the genetic damage caused by the early population bottleneck have caused them to speciate. There are six species of Lightborn. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple. These species are sapient and can't crossbreed. There are also a couple of dozen other species that are non-sapient and were released to the surface. The abundance of empty niches were exploited by these feral savages, and now there are hundreds of species occupying different niches, and have outcompeted the cats from their original homes entirely. Cats now only survive through the flying ones, which have claimed every niche a bird would.
1042AC: Goldfish have diversified greatly, with some even having evolved to grab terrestrial prey that comes to take a drink.
1055AC: There is a substantial decrease in the beast population underground. Eyewitnesses say that it is caused by a mysterious being with black, purply glowing armor and tools, a big, wide nose and smooth, pink skin. He talks to himself, to something he calls ''Chat''.
1067AC: The means to carry the cities off the ground permanently is now found. Cities are now essentially giant airships, housing tens of thousands of people. Only things that remain on the ground are mining facilities.
1072AC: Slyphs were not really pleased with the ground dwellers settling into their skies. So they are now considered a major threat to sky travelling, since they attack vessels using violent wind.
1081AC: Mortals launch expeditions everywhere. They discover the sea shrubland, the BelowWorld, and most importantly, the crater that once was the Grove of Distortion. From the little amount of random artifacts they could gather, they have discovered a something amazing. The most peculiar of them is a weird book, describing an use of copper that was completely unknown to science. From a contraption blueprint on the book, scientists build a replica. The first electromagnetic dynamo is built.
1097AC: The dynamoes are now commonplace among most devices mortals use. It is more reliable and less unstable then magic, so most mechanisms that once used magic are now powered by electricity. The power required for these mechanisms are supplied by giant wind catchers mounted to the city, surrounding it.
