On the Growth of ConflictCycle 1, Apex Phase: New World Order
Of the First Domains(And that of Chaos)
Of Oaths did the Domain bind the illusions of souls in torment for their sins, to be punished and purified for their rebirth. The Metaphysical Rules which govern the Cycle laid to rest and sleep by the many tools of the original element of Oaths. So did the Oath rest within their Domain.
Did Numbers deny understanding, for all is Numbers. So too is the Domain Numbers.
Of Chaos, a domain filled with nearly uncountable orbs crushing him beneath their weight, worlds both imagined and not playing within them and orbs themselves. Yet many are empty, waiting. They spend a cycle sorting them into a more chaotically free arrangement. As well, the Telegraph finds them even in this chaos, though how remains to be known.
Prosperity did settle with The Arboretum, a Domain of endless Growth, decay, Death, feeding to a greater rise still, and endless Jungle and Forest reaching seeming forever, yet limited.
Of Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Endless Waters fill the Domain, limited only by the boundary of it's circumference. Yet Water spills over, and the divine ichor is washed away as if it never was. Law spills forth upon the yet to be born world. A Subdomain forms filled with yet more Waters overflowing.
Motionless Violence Unfurls
Bichaxeth did question, using Telegraphs to carry Telegrams for communication. How this worked was unknown, for one could simply have spoke the distance. The question asked on carefully calligraphed stone tablets was what world should be created? Xxxxxbahhqist's first suggestion as one of many and stranger dimensions, but was shot down. Bichaxeth then proposed a world of mud, as none others stepped up, before Xxxxxbahhqist finally got a hold on his many marbles and suggested Motionless Violence.
Name: Motionless Violence
Origin/Element: Depends on creator
Type: World
a world in the form of a singular massive ring of water many miles thick- that "flows" clockwise around Eight massive "pillars" or "spokes" of stone that extend from far below, where the "core" the sea orbits around lies.
Bichaxeth approved, and Xxxxxbahhqist donated their power to fuel it. They wrote into existance the planatary body, and from their Ichor penned the creation of Trothed-Burning-Heart to serve as the Core. From it did spikes of stone flow, their cores volcanic and providing heat and stability to the planet. 8 Islands of stone seperated by a seemingly endless sea. The gentle pink light of TBH shined across the horizon and illuminates the bottom of these seas. But to sinners it's light would be cruel and dark, bringing suffering to oathbreakers and forcing them into the depths of the cold ocean where no light reaches. [Perhaps, had Oaths not had a hold of Chaos, it's power may have warped this result.]
Did 4277001901 then spend 5 of it's power to fill the oceans with many many species of basic life. From clamshoals to floating reefs, Shellsharks to spongefish. Upon land did green and pink vegetation seek to hold onto it's simple berth of stone above, suckerroots gripping to take in the light, and did much suckermoss attach to the thermal spikes. Prosperity then carve Black Smoker Vents, cracking the shell's outer surface for belching gasses to enter the deep seas around the 8 volcanic pillars. Life died, and then new life was born from the old, coral ecosystems forming around these spikes. An uneasy truce between the deep and the shallows was formed, deathly heat and life-giving cold at odds with each other. Nonetheless, the Numbers did not lie, for the open ocean is home to many of their kind.
Disaster! Water in it's Watery Waterness Watered the many species with it's Greater Law that would turn them into Water-based lifeforms, performing the same functions as before. The Coral Reefs of the Volcanic Spikes weathered the storm, becoming translucent and adapting to take in more nutrients, but many numbers of speices floated to the surface and died asthey ate at each other, unable to sink back down to safety. Some floating reefs not adapted to air suffocated, and spongefish dried out, causing a wave of death. What this will cause in the future is unknown. Why the element did so is unknown, but the wave of death and the switch to more water has caused a Subdomain of Water to form.
Of Sparks and rest
Within the Astral does the first spark come to be. Forged from the Horror of meaningless death that cannot be avoided, Antigonus names itself Lord of Disaters and Misfortune. A lofty claim to one born from Chaos & Prosperity. And so with the death of so many nascent lifeforms does The Jagged Wind be born aloft spires and erections of oath-spires and toll-numbers. A being of Ending. These Sp goarks unnoticed by the Elements, for now.
Some of the Elements Rested afterward, though due to acting they recovered no Ichor. Bar for Chaos.
