C’thun growls, but holds it’s anger in. It creates a new star that doesn’t make someone immediately insane.

Name: Space Madness
Type: Constellation
Description: A shining ball of red that waxes hypnotically in the air. It is very visible. People that see this star become more likely to indulge in their baser passions, tainting their soul and aligning it more to C'thun.

The star also has physical benefits as due to god magic, or something, whoever looks at it has their immune system enhanced and their bones and tendons strengthened. Slightly increases average lifespan.
Amid a myriad of other interactions and events, the Faceless Prince merely watched the creation of this... perversion of perception. This plague upon sight. This... this... monstrosity.
And as their horror turned to indignation, they withdrew a great and beautiful conch from their robes, smashing it into the constellation, trading its location away to someplace deep within the Noise.
They turned toward C’thun, shaking with anger.
Cease and desist with these incessant and abominable cognitohazards! They offend me to the very core of my essence, and no more can I abide by their continued existence than the desert sun might abide by the presence of an ice cube! You would create things that destroy not only knowledge, but even the ability to have or create knowledge! You would not merely pervert trade with the inability to properly assess value, but you would unjustly rob the mortals of any sanity they may have, leaving paltry offerings that ultimately leave them as little more than a strong animal, not a person! Do you not understand? Are you as mad as you would make all of mortality? I shall not have it! I shall not abide by it! I cannot stand by and simply allow you to pervert and destroy every essence of my own spheres! Away with you, and know that should you neglect to revise your behaviors, I shall ensure there is a reckoning upon you!

Yes, the conch shell is the Trade Act.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

"It is unagreeable."
"For my will be to give strength to those with will use it."
"As is yours be taken issue with mine."
"until you take my freedom from me I shall do as I wish."


"Always with the imposing of one's will on another. We are creators, can you not imagine a world where we are friends? A world where the people have reason to be happy, because we have made it so? I ask you, sibling, if you think there is potential for our friendship, why not offer strength only to those who will use it well?"

C’thun laughs. “You all are hypocritical! You scorn and condemn me for corrupting things, but you too spread your influences to places they are not wanted! I am merely doing what you all are doing, simply more directly. You create beings in a lonely and lifeless galaxy and demand they obey your every will. How is that any different from what I am doing? Hell, half of your creations have no mind to corrupt and are slaves in everything but name!

You fit everything in to your tiny box of morality and say anything that doesn’t fit into your own sense of morality is evil! Have you ever tried to ask one of your creations, without any compulsions or unnatural loyalty, what they think of you? You are merely arrogant, hypocritical and powerful taskmasters.

"You speak of happiness as if it be something all beings are obligated to."
"But happiness not snatched by ones own hands be hollow happiness."
"It be empty of anything but the satisfaction of a slave to whatever broken system handed it."
"True happiness be gained by overcoming great threats and overturning those one disagrees with."
"As for strength, be ye speaking of it as though any will use it well if not used for its purpose."
"But strength of any sort be leading to those bearing it be lording over their fellows and equals."
"We be not of one will, no agreement will you be finding with me."

Design a possible Shared Realm.

The Cathedral of Souls
This realm automatically absorbs the souls of dead mortals, and other displaced spirits with nowhere to go.
A relatively small and humble church, the main hall filled with gentle, warm light, and various chimes and instruments hung from the ceiling play a soft melody. Windows show the landscape of each Realm.
Nine halls for nine realms, each with a door leading to a final destination. The owner of each realm may station one or more guards for their respective doors, as they wish.
But are forbidden by the physical law of the realm from abducting petitioners from the main hall. Each must choose of their own volition.
Violence is prohibited by physical law outside of specific halls.
Gods are permitted to modify their own halls as desired, provided that there remains a door and the space could be described as a hall. Modification of the plane outside that still requires consensus.
Outside is a large area of wilderness tightly wrapped around itself, filled with grass and trees and creeks and such. Of no mechanical significance to the realm's soul-sorting purpose.
This is a peaceful space, but feels ever so slightly uncomfortable, a sensation which will intensify over a long stay. The views of the other Realms feel correspondingly "right".

"Too small for my liking, a guide couldn't stand a minute there, can't you add some room there which is a huge area unrelated to any of the planes?"

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

"I suppose not. I just think that a certain amount of humbleness before mortals would be a good idea. An outdoors section would be fine, though."

"Small church, large wilderness. Seems humble to me. Do you foresee any issues with loitering?"

May I have a realm? No ulterior motives.
