Gibeele trains its many eyes on Shinka.
"Don't bring me into this, you gremlin. You've brought this upon yourself."

[micelus]

Allow flying as a default trait: 2 (Gibeele, Wanderer)
Do Not: 4 (C’thun, Shinka, Qwitzikottle, Susan)

[Knightwing64]

C'thun laughs to itself.

HH decides to put a down payment on a nice piece of land, intent on paying off the mortgage over the course of the next turn. His contract is signed by a pen made of his own feather with top-quality turnip ink. (1 Sphere Act)

Spoiler: Land for the Land god (Region) (click to show/hide)

Name: Farmaland
Neighbors: None!
Traits:
 + Fertile Soil suitable for harvesting
 + Large range of habitats
 - Low natural metal deposits
Description:Farmaland is a mostly continuous nimbus cloud that resembles a giant mountain of cotton. Near the bottom is set for warm tropical regions while the temperature decreases as you increase in altitude up to the polar regions at the top. The cloud-soil is fluffy and easy to mange with almost any tool, growing plants exceptionally well compared to regions created by less farm-obsessed Gods. Natural rivers run downhill from the polar region to the tropics, where they fall off the edge rather than pooling up.   

He then takes a bag full of seeds, letting the wind take it to place on all lands when land becomes a thing. (1 Generic)

Spoiler: Cloud Seeds (click to show/hide)

There isn't actually a sheet for plants
Name: Cloud Seeds
Traits:
 + Cause weather when planted
 + Can be harvested at will
 - Can cause bad weather
Description: Ever wonder where weather, something important for the farming cycle, comes from in a world where everything is already in the clouds? Turns out it comes from the ground. Specifically from seeds. Cloud seeds are dandelion like seeds capable of floating in the wind from cloud to cloud. When they plant themselves in a cloud they eventually blossom into a plant representative of the weather type they contain. A thunderstorm seed makes a lightning bolt plant surrounded by seedlings,  a sunny weather plant makes a sunflower representing the Sewing Sun, a rain plant makes a flower with rain drops etc. When these plants are harvested (or burst for wild plants, releasing their seeds to the winds) they create their weather type locally. Said weather will come from the ground around the plant if applicable, so that rain water and snow would flow upward (then eventually back down). The more plants of one type in the area the larger the effect is.

((Just a reminder that the price of a solo region has increased to 2 sphere acts))

((I can build it across two turns yes?))

[Knightwing64]

C’thun spends a creation act to fashion itself a angel to carry out its will.

Name: Trandarc
Affiliation: C’thun
Class: Angel
Traits:
 + Very charismatic and sliver tongued. He appears as someone’s favorite or most loved person, a idealized version.

 + Can give followers of C’thun/himself different powers and forms depending on their deepest desires and feelings.

 - A strong dislike of gods other then C’thun as they give him nausea and feelings of weakness.

Description: A shapeshifting angel. It appears to all mortals in need and helps them by giving them power that they need, and in exchange, they become C’thuns devoted follower and servant. People rarely refuse his offer because of his mastery of psychology and speech. It also helps that he appears to people in dire need. He reports to C’thun whenever something important happens.

Go hang out in my realm, where we will not be taking visitors at this time. Unauthorized intruders will be envenomated by thorns.

Remotely feed two acts into the region creation scheme, one for the base cost and one to make a region to specification:
Name: Driftlands
Neighbors: Yamayunqa
Traits:
 + Rich with Suspendium. Suspendium: The Mineral That Floats!
 + Crags and other natural formations, along with the shifting terrain make this a good place to hide.
 - The drifting landmasses make navigation tricky: you can build a house here, but you'll never know where you're waking up int he morning.
Description: A remote and somewhat inhospitable region of small islands, floating around each other in inscrutable patterns driven by native veins of suspendium. In the shadow of the mountain, this region sees little rainfall, and thus spare plant life and limited possibilities for agriculture. It's not impossible to live here, but a large self-sustaining settlement would be difficult.
Ecosystem: Moss and lichen, vines, a few hardy trees which bear fruit. Small bats, birds, and flying eels which eat fruits, insects, and one another. Larger and fiercer creatures may sometimes migrate from Yamayunqa, but find much less sustenance here than in the jungle.

Phone my two angels and give them psychic hugs. Suggest to Mentor that Trandarc has potential as a force for good, with the correct guidance.

Aaand train mine Sight upon C'thun.

“Don’t duck with my angel gibelle”

(CENSORSHIP)

[Egan_BW]

"I'm not doing anything to 'your' angel. All I'm doing is calling my kids and asking them to give the new guy a hand. My kids, I'll remind you, which I gave free will? You even taunted us for being tyrannical but you won't afford your offspring the freedom to choose?"

[Glass]

This plan for regions appeals to me. Count me in. The Faceless Prince jots down some notes on a golden page of their book, whereupon they delicately remove it and fling it toward the cloud of islands. Near the Driftlands and Yamayunqa, gold and ink seems to rain down...

Spoiler: The Old World (click to show/hide)

Name: The Old World
Neighbors: Driftlands, Yamayunqa
Traits:
 + Ruins of our Greaters: The ruins in the Old World are curious ones; no matter how advanced a civilization is, it always seems that there are items to be found here just a tad out of reach of their current technological or magical level. It is almost as if explorers are being taunted with what is possible.
 + Treasures of the Ancients: Aside from advanced artifacts, many things of great value can be found in the Old World's ruins, be it material prosperity - valuable metals and gems can be located often enough to be notable - but also from artistic quality or simple utility.
 - Never Again: Repeated ventures into the Old World will rapidly reveal that any ruin can only be found once. Even if one were to take the exact same route, not a single ruin encountered will be the same. Anything left behind will be permanently lost, and settling here is impossible. Furthermore, the same advanced treasures that make expeditions worthwhile make for advanced traps and other such dangers.
Description: A cloud of overgrown islands, strewn about with ruins. Enter and explore, if you dare; the plants and animals present are nearly as strange and inexplicable as the ruins.

I may make another region for Trade later. Or I may not. I should like to see what else is happening here, first.

[Rockeater]

"It seems as if creatures won't usually fly, but I will prospone my plans about it for now to be sure, in the meantime, something to be used in both cases"
Spend both acts on the flying raft

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: flying raft
Primary actribute: Sight
Effects:
 + Can hold much more mass then an object of that construction would intale
 + Once in a while, mostly in dramatically appreciate timing, it can fly to a journey to any place it can physically reach on that plane
 - When not available to a flight, it stuck to the ground
Description: a badly constructed looking raft from wood that does not seen on the mortal plane and from ropes which are surprisingly sturdy

"I will keep it on my plane for now"

[Maximum Spin]

Shinka decides to throw the Competition Act into another region while the region-building is still hot.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Field of Dreams
Neighbors: just put it wherever's convenient
Traits:
 + Mostly flat and aesthetically decorated for dramatic battles
 + Buried treasure! Some of it still in somebody's pockets! (Well, there aren't any bodies yet, but there will be, and in the meantime, Shinka has added fake war spoils so it looks cooler.)
 - It's a battlefield. People die there.
Description: This region was built for no other purpose than to give people a very dramatic place to fight when needed. Mortals will naturally be drawn to do their fighting there.

But not that one. I had a different, better idea:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Texas
Neighbors: Polis, Farmaland, and the Old World
Traits:
 + Everything that can ever be found in Polis, Texas has a slightly bigger or better one. The layout is almost identical, but just a tiny bit wrong, so people who are too used to Polis will reliably get lost.
 + Everything done in Texas turns out slightly better or greater than it would have if the equivalent action were performed in the equivalent place in Polis.
 - If you die in Texas, you respawn in the equivalent spot in Polis while all your stuff stays behind. Any fatal wounds are healed but the body is otherwise the same (so, for example, if you died of cancer or old age you're probably not going to have a great time in Polis). I realize not everyone may agree that this is a negative but, for my character, it surely is.
Description: Texas was established as a competitor to Polis for the mortal tourism industry.

[/s]OKAY FINE, GLASS, NONE OF THIS THEN.

((I can build it across two turns yes?))

(Why don't you just join the group effort? Then all you'll need is one sphere act to do it.)

[Glass]

I get the impression that we have not really made much space within which the mortals can live. Let's see about amending that.
Once more, the Faceless Prince withdraws a golden coin from their robe. They hold it out on an extended hand - and it unravels, coming apart into impossibly-fine golden threads. These threads catch onto disparate islands, and begin to weave them together...

Spoiler: Polis (click to show/hide)

Name: Polis
Neighbors: Everything? Everything? Yeah, everything. Everything is good.
Traits:
 + Mortal Hospitality: Polis is, put simply, very hospitable to sapient life. Early on, this may mean that forgeable food is abundant here, as is potential shelter; later, it could mean that natural disasters are vanishingly rare, and there is a good place for nearly any construction. This is a place for people to live.
 + Center of the Tradewinds: Travel through Polis is simple, even expedited; the fastest route from one region to another almost always passes through Polis.
 - The Island that Never Sleeps: Time in Polis is... strange. Let us be clear, spending 6 hours there is spending 6 hours there. The issue is that you will find a great deal of disagreement on what 6 hours those are. Within Polis, the day-night cycle is personalized, rendering consistent manners of determining the time much more difficult, and ensuring that there will be people awake at all hours.
Description: A vast island - perhaps best referred to as a continent, in truth - the very earth of Polis seems to have a golden sheen. The landscape is primarily rolling hills, covered in a yellow grasses and dotted with silver shrubs and trees, each bearing berries and fruits. There are small animals filling various ecological niches, as well as the occasional large, placid grazing beast, but little here would be a threat to a typical mortal.

There, yes. I do think that should do quite nicely.

((Upgrading a province to a region isn't recommended because the difference in cost would be 5 generic acts or 1 sphere act and 2 generic acts. The former isn't trivial to get, and the latter ends up being more expensive than paying the up-front cost for a region.))

Intellectual property law is an immoral restriction on free competition. Besides, you were right, the mortals need more places to live.
