Okay, now that a few turns have passed and a few more players have joined, my idea finally makes sense and i wanna run it by you, to see what you think of it. And whether you're willing to accommodate it.
As you left the possibility open, I wanna play as an "Other Thing"; a gigantic dragon, with a (steep) food requirement. Basically a Kaiju. The idea being for me to serve as a constant menace and a catalyst to make stuff happen. But i want your (and fellow players') opinion before i spin up a sheet.

The Peaceful Assembly
The naga enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, and spend their days chatting, flirting, and exploring the Sunny Plain together.
As they share their aspirations and ideals, they begin inventing the art of basketry!

If you want your turn to be processed, you'll need to indicate what each of your citizens are doing. You can get an example by looking at the other civilization players.

Edit: I will allow it this time, but in future turns please clarify which civilian is doing what.

Turn 5

I don't think I can manage daily updates for this game, but it is still a thing.



Through Midnight
Through Midnight's castle is a breathtaking and imposing structure, rising up from the void like a beacon of power and splendor. Its architecture is reminiscent of the evermoving ruins of E7, with soaring towers and elaborate carvings covering its surface. The castle is filled with riches and treasures, and its halls and corridors are adorned with gold and jewels.

However, the most appealing feature of the castle for the beleaguered Felids is the banquet halls that are scattered throughout the structure. These halls are filled with feasts of food from bygone eras, dishes that have not been cooked in centuries. While the food may not be edible at this point, the mere sight of it is tantalizing and alluring to the Felids, who are desperate for any kind of sustenance.

As the Felids explore the castle, they must be wary of the phantoms that patrol its corridors. Most of these phantoms are merely servants, carrying out their duties as they have for centuries. However, some of them are much more dangerous, including the Lord of the castle and his entourage. These powerful beings are to be avoided at all costs, as they are known to be fierce and unforgiving.

Overall, Through Midnight's castle is a place of great mystery and danger, filled with treasures and traps that beckon to the Felids. It is a place where they can find sustenance and wealth, but it is also a place where they must exercise caution and care in order to survive.

The Daylight Prince
The wooded lake created by The Daylight Prince is a tranquil and idyllic place, filled with the sounds of nature and the gentle lapping of water against the shore. The lake is surrounded by a dense forest of trees and bushes, which are home to a wide variety of plants and animals.

Fish swim freely through the reeds by the lakeshore, darting back and forth in the clear and shallow water. The trees and bushes that line the shores of the lake are filled with ripe and juicy fruits, providing a bountiful supply of food for the creatures that live here.

Deer, squirrels, and fierce ospreys make their home in the orchard that surrounds the lake. These animals are well-adapted to life in this peaceful and verdant habitat, and they thrive in the abundant and nourishing environment provided by The Daylight Prince.

Overall, the wooded lake is a place of great beauty and serenity, and it is a place where one can find peace and relaxation in the midst of the natural world.

The chalky hillscape created by The Daylight Prince is a rugged and dramatic landscape, filled with steep terraces and deep valleys. The hills are made of soft, white chalk, which has been eroded by the elements over time. As a result, the walls of the terraces are partially exposed, revealing veins of copper and silver ore that glint in the sunlight.

The terraces are covered with heather and gorse bushes, which cling to the steep slopes and add splashes of purple and yellow to the landscape. The valleys below are filled with rich meadows, which are dotted with wildflowers and grasses.

Despite the harsh and rocky terrain, the chalky hillscape is home to a variety of animals. Rabbits and burrowing rodents make their homes in the underbrush, and they are well-adapted to life in this challenging environment.

Aleph Null
Aleph Null's latest creation is a strange and surreal landscape, shaped by the god's whimsical manipulations. A thin bridge of savanna stretches out into the void, its grasses and trees pulled taut and distorted like taffy. From this bridge, a complex archipelago of globule islands is connected by strings of stretched land, as if the entire landscape has been woven into a web.

The tree trunks are pulled taut and leaves inflated into new lands, while grasses are stretched and woven into bridges that root themselves on both ends of a cloud. The entire landscape is otherworldly and difficult to parse, but has a warped sort of sense to it for those with the patience to identify it. It is a confusing place to navigate, with no clear boundaries or borders, but it is also full of strange and wondrous sights.

Furthermore, some of the bridges connecting the islands in this web lead back to the Center of the Universe, finally providing a way to travel on and off the island. However, navigating this confusing landscape may be a challenge for those not accustomed to its strange and surreal nature.

The Red Grail
It is recommended to have a post with your gods name even if you don't want to make terrain so that I know to give you your free FP.

Aurora Morn
As the sun rises over the Allays' home, the air is filled with the sense of possibility and change. The Allays are a species of energy beings, and they are attuned to the vibrations of the world around them. They can taste the sweet and sour flavors of the air, and they can sense the shifts and movements of the world.

Three Allays set out to forage for food, venturing out into the surrounding landscape in search of nourishment. They are skilled at finding the best sources of food, and they are able to gather a good supply of resources for themselves and their community.

Meanwhile, two other Allays are working on researching "Foraging Improvements". They are determined to find new and more efficient ways of gathering food, and they spend hours studying and experimenting in an effort to improve their skills.

As they work, one of the Allays takes a moment to pray to Aleph Null, thanking the god for their blessings and guidance. They offer a prayer of thanks and devotion, seeking guidance and protection as they navigate the challenges of the world.

Felid Kingdom
As the felid begins to gather plants and attempt to fashion them into a rope, they quickly realize that their lack of technology is hindering their progress. The plants they have at their disposal are not strong enough to hold their weight, and their attempts to knot them together are clumsy and ineffective. Despite their best efforts, the felid is unable to create a long rope that they feel confident in using to make their descent into the underground labyrinth. Frustrated and disappointed, they are forced to abandon their plans and find another way to navigate the dangerous terrain.

As the felid wanders through the halls of the castle created by Through Midnight, they are struck by the grandeur and opulence of the place. The walls are adorned with tapestries and paintings, and the floors are tiled with gleaming marble. The felid marvels at the sight, taking in all the details with wide eyes.

As they wander further into the castle, they come across a series of banquet halls. The tables are laden with dishes of all sorts, but as the felid approaches, they realize that the food is no longer edible. It has been sitting there for centuries, and is now little more than a pile of moldy scraps. Despite their hunger, the felid knows that they will not find sustenance here.

As the felid stands on the floating island, they raise their paws to the sky and offer a prayer to Through Midnight. They give thanks for the mysterious castle that has appeared, and for the opportunity to explore its halls and discover the treasures that lie within. The felid is filled with excitement and gratitude as they offer their thanks to the deity, and they hope that their offerings will be well received. They know that the journey ahead will not be easy, but with the guidance and protection of Through Midnight, they are confident that they will be able to overcome any challenges that come their way.


The Misty Realm.
On this day, a group of Sidhe are busy going about their daily tasks. One Sidhe is foraging for food in the forest that is their home, searching for berries, nuts, and other edible plants. Another Sidhe is foraging in the Sunny Plain, taking advantage of the abundance of fruit and grain that grows there. A third Sidhe is foraging on the Floating Jungle, searching for the strange and exotic plants that grow there.

Meanwhile, two other Sidhe are continuing their research into improvements to foraging. They are determined to find new and more efficient ways to gather food, and they are working hard to develop new techniques and tools that will make their work easier.

Finally, one Sidhe takes a moment to sing the group's praises to the Daylight Prince, thanking him for the abundance he has given them, and for their new member. The Sidhe believe that the Daylight Prince is a benevolent and generous deity, and they are grateful for all that he has done for them. Overall, it is a busy but productive day for the Sidhe, as they work together to ensure the prosperity and happiness of their community.


The Peaceful Assembly
The Naga are a peaceful and empathetic species, who believe that being gentle and selfless is the path to spiritual fulfillment. They value happiness, peace, and family above all else, and they work hard to create a harmonious and loving society.

As such, the Naga are always seeking new ways to improve their lives and their community. In this instance, a group of five Naga have decided to focus their efforts on researching "Basketry".

Basketry is the art of creating baskets and other woven items using natural materials such as grasses, reeds, and vines. It is a time-honored tradition among many cultures, and it is a skill that requires patience, dexterity, and creativity.

The Naga are excited to explore this new field of study, and they spend many hours each day researching and experimenting with different techniques and materials. They are eager to learn as much as they can about basketry, and they are determined to become experts in this ancient and fascinating art form.

As they work, the Naga share their knowledge and experiences with each other, learning from one another and building a sense of community and collaboration. Together, they are able to make great progress in their research, and they are excited to see where their studies will take them.

Fangs of Paradise
The Fangs of Paradise arrived in the twisted and unsettling terrain created by The Red Grail, drawn by the allure of its beauty and the promise of a place to call home. As they explored the fleshy plants and spongy ground, they couldn't shake the feeling of unease that seemed to permeate the air. Despite this, they were determined to make this place their home, and set about establishing their civilization.

At first, things seemed to be going well. The vampyres were able to find ample sources of blood to sustain them, and the lush greenery provided them with plenty of cover and concealment. They established their dwellings in the dense foliage, using the twisted and surreal landscape to their advantage.

However, as time passed, the vampyres began to realize that the territory was not as safe as they had originally thought. Strange and unsettling events seemed to plague them at every turn, and they began to sense that they were not alone in the twisted paradise. It was as if the very land itself was alive, and was hiding something darker and more sinister.

Despite these challenges, the Fangs of Paradise refused to be deterred. They banded together, using their strength in numbers and their innate resilience to weather the storms that threatened to tear their civilization apart. Through determination and perseverance, they were able to carve out a place for themselves in the twisted and unsettling landscape, and lay the foundations for a civilization that would thrive in the shadows of the malevolent land.

Eclair Wolves
The Eclair Wolves of the Clan of Claws arrived on the island created by The Red Grail with trepidation, their senses heightened by the eerie atmosphere that pervaded the place. They were immediately struck by the grotesque appearance of the landscape, with its fleshy ground and flowing blood.

As they explored the island, they encountered the twisted and mutated creatures that inhabited it, and were forced to fight for their lives against these monstrosities. Despite their strength and ferocity, the Eclair Wolves were outnumbered and outmatched by the creatures of the island, and many of their number fell in battle.

But the Eclair Wolves were determined to survive, and they fought on with all their might, using their cunning and strength to overcome the horrors that lurked in the shadows. In the end, they emerged victorious, having established a foothold on the island and claimed it as their own.

Despite the challenges they faced, the Eclair Wolves were proud of what they had achieved, and they vowed to defend their territory against all comers. They knew that the island created by The Red Grail would always be a dangerous place, but they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, united in their determination to survive and thrive in this twisted and corrupted landscape.

N/A
The Naga are a peaceful, empathetic species who value happiness and family above all else. They are known for their gentle nature and their bright, colorful appearance, and they are deeply devoted to the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment.

On this day, a group of Naga are engaged in a research project on basketry, working together to develop new and more efficient ways to weave baskets and other useful items. As they work, they are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of a single Sidhe.

The Sidhe is a small, winged humanoid with bright, colorful hair and wings that resemble those of a butterfly. They are known for their love of singing and their xenophobia, and they tend to be quite insular, preferring to focus on their own community rather than interacting with outsiders.

The Naga and Sidhe regard each other with a mixture of curiosity and caution. Neither group is sure what to make of the other, and both are wary of the potential for conflict. However, despite their differences, they eventually manage to communicate and come to an understanding, and the meeting ends peacefully.

Dragon Shenanigans
Giving yourself a large food requirement in a Gridhood game is just masochistic-sounding to me. Might I recommend starting as a smaller dragon and potentially getting bigger over time instead?

[Superdorf]

The Daylight Prince

A meeting between peoples - on the Prince's land, no less! The sun god observes the encounter anxiously, right up until the two parties exchange pleasantries and part ways.
The meeting is auspicious! Perhaps the nagas are also deserving of daylight's rich bounty.

The Daylight Prince creates a warm meadow at H-8, much like the one at H-7. Cool streams trickle down from the chalky hills to its east, forming a modest river that drains into a basin along the western edge. Herons wander the river reeds here and there, plucking at the fish that swim throughout.

[A_Curious_Cat]

The Misty Realm
The sidhe returning from foraging in the Sunny Plain and Floating Jungle bring news of two great discoveries:  the existence of the Naga in the Sunny Plain, and the fact that the Floating Jungle seems to have been created by Aleph Null.  A council of the Sidhe is formed to discuss these developments. 

With regards to the Naga, the Sidhe are relatively suspicious and (above all) fearful.  Still, there is no expression of hate towards the Naga, nor any expression of desire for conflict from the Sidhe (for whom war is, as of yet, an alien concept).  After conversing, the Sidhe decide that the best course of action is to let the Naga be and let them have the Sunny Plain.  Some of the Sidhe grumble at the loss of the ability to forage on the Sunny Plain, but others are quick to point out that they still have the Forest, the Floating Jungle, and that the Daylight Prince has recently gifted them with the Wooded Lake.

With regards to the god of the Floating Jungle, most are somewhat apprehensive.  Most of the Sidhe are quick to point out that the Sidhe have thus far been greatly blessed by the benevolence of the Daylight Prince, and urge that the Sidhe should continue praying to him.  Some (a minority), however, (while agreeing with the others regarding the Daylight Prince) posit that it might be a good idea to also enlist the aid of Aleph Null..

1 sidhe forages for food in the forest that is the Sidhe’s home.  [I7]
1 sidhe forages for food in the Floating Jungle.  [I6]
1 sidhe forages for food in the vicinity of the Wooded Lake.  [J7]
1 sidhe continue to research improvements to foraging.  [I7]
1 sidhe prays for assistance from the Daylight Prince.  [I7]
1 sidhe prays for assistance from Aleph Null.  [I6]

As one of the Sidhe lifts his voice to the heavens and sings the praises of the Daylight Prince, he pauses for a moment and then proceeds to pray, asking the Prince for advice.  What should the Sidhe do concerning the Naga?  And what of Aleph Null?  Who is the Daylight Prince, and who is Aleph Null?

Meanwhile, in the Floating Jungle, another sidhe (after a slight moment of hesitation) raises her voice in praise of Aleph Null and asks him to aid the Sidhe.

Species Name:  Sidhe.
Species Description: A species of 10 cm tall winged humanoids who practice communal nudity, enjoy singing, and are relatively xenophobic.  Their hair and eyes come in all the colors of the rainbow and more.  their wings are lacy, but otherwise look like those of a butterfly and they are fully capable of flight.

Population: 6
Food: 16
Improvements to Foraging Research Progress: 4

((I should point out that while the Sidhe are listed as being relatively xenophobic, they are not racist.  Nor are they warlike (as mentioned above, they don’t even know the concept of war, yet.).  Their first instinct when confronted by outsiders would be to hide and observe the outsiders secretly.  It is, of course, possible to gain the Sidhe’s trust, but it may take some time and effort…))

You might be right, and i did think of that idea, but i don't know much about Gridhood, so you'll have to make up and tell me my mechanics anyway. I'm more of a role-player, and today i've decided to play the role of a terror from beyond.

Spoiler: Xlthsha (click to show/hide)

Type of thing: Menace
Name: Xlthsha
Species: Void Dragon
Sex: Female; capable* of parthenogenesis(Asexual reproduction) (*eventually)
Description: An adolescent Void Dragon. Small for a Void Dragon, yet still big enough to fill with primal terror anything born of nature, her scales jet-black and obsidian-like - jagged and sharp - and her maw flanked by a pair of arthropod-like mandibles. She flew in from beyond the endless white, cast out from the nest alongside the rest of her sisters. She has come to this world to subjugate it and claim it as her own, and harbors an inborn hatred of things both divine and terrestrial.

Mechanics: Entirely up to you. I envision her as a highly mobile terror with a food requirement, who will eat anything she happens to share a tile with. (foraging) civilians included. But, I promise i won't go out of my way to destroy anyone's civilization. I might terrorize them a bit though but 's all in good fun.

I do not understand what you are confused about, but I suspect that what happened is that I did not notice you made a (non) action post. I recommend including your god/civilization name with each action post that you make to reduce the odds of that happening.

Through Midnight

"I want the dragon. I'm going to have the dragon. Dragon, I'm taking you."

"Also, the apology to the cats didn't work out too well, but that's fine I'm sure they'll be alright, I have more important things to consider, such as the dragon."
