Turn 1: The Void Era

Land of Stars and Solar Sacrifices

Following the successful creation of the Final Shape and the Bloodwine Broodwaters that currently cover its surface, Luka and Gongon have collaborated to raise a vast archipelago of skull-shaped islands that may have curious effects on consciousness on its inhabitants. (Luka: -1 Skull Act; Gonegone: -1 Ignorance Act; +Materia) This is accompanied by the creation of the Lost Lands, a strangely shifting landmass where entire canyons, tunnels, caverns, and mountains move about in a matter of days with deleterious effects on sanity (Gongon: -1 Sanity Act). It is a small mercy that the Neobel Eka scatters grapevines in lost and closed paths and punches a great inland sea to serve as both a navigation aid/hub and a dwelling on the Shape (Neobel Eka: -Arm, +2-2 Life Act).

Considering there to be insufficient chaos for its likiing, Yitterbium has sacrificed some of its viscera, flagella, and bones to raise up the Star of Chaos, a potent contender for that lofty mantle of sun (Yitterbium: -Appendix, -Flagella, -Bones, +3-3 Chaos Acts, +3-3 Flesh Acts). Not to be outdone, Sornlun, too, sacrifies of itself, casting off its glittering exoskeleton in its entirety, all of its legs, and all of its claws to elevate the Iridescent Sun to the point where it can stand equal to the Star of Chaos (Sornlun: --Exoskeleton, --Legs, --Claws, +8 Flame Acts, +4-4 Heaven Acts). The Iridescent Sun is particularly blessed with the claws of Sornlun, sharper than even moonlight, and is soon accosted by the Star of Chaos.


Sun Dance

The Star of Chaos opens with a bewildering charge directly at the Iridescent Sun, but it misses, and Remorse's cautiously (remorsefully, even) fired flare misses the Star of Chaos by a wide angle. Swinging back confidently, the Star of Chaos flings itself right into the focused beams of the now-prepared Iridescent Sun and manages to land a solid hit that sends incandescent and darker-than-dark debris flying in all directions. Reeling from the shock of the encounter, the two suns flail about unable to quite find purchase until a searing sunbeam from the Iridescent Sun roasts a particularly fleshy patch on the Star of Chaos. The Star of Chaos flares dark in response, and whirling at incredible speed, collides with the Iridescent Sun, causing three entire faces to flash and flicker menacingly. The Star's apparent victory is short-lived, as the Sun manages to muster up hidden reserves of strength and shatter the Star into a million undulating fragments.

The Star of Chaos has been shattered into the Chaos Asteroids.


Passing Seasons

The rest of Sornlun's fiery sacrifice goes toward the creation of the Season of Regret following Lunace (and fed by its insanity) and Fhaire, a continent of solid flame capturing the splendor of the Iridescent Sun's eleven flames and Sornlun itself by extension (Sornlun: -8 Flame Acts).

The presence of all features required for life presents an interesting choice for the Sparks: Continue vying for astronomical influence or advance to the next eon now. The combined development on the Final Shape has begun to stratify the Creatia and Materia swirling about in the ontosphere, and should all necessary Pieces remain, each Spark will be presented with a choice to Temper and approach and build on the material world, or remain Unquenched and distance themselves from the suffocating confines of the world below next turn.

The Cosmos

High Creatia
Low Materia tide
Celestial bodies and landmasses/oceans remain easy to create, but life continues to be a challenge subject to the whims of fate.

The Cosmogonic Eon is due to end.
Nothing in particular is required to progress, or you can destroy Pieces to stay.

Sornlun waits and metaphorically sees for now, satisfied with its exuviae. The centipede is open to funding would be projects if need be.

[Demonic Spoon]

Gongon's divine power flickers in a half uncertain state, ready to contribute to worthy projects, but also already utilized before Gongon forgets they exist and they are digested back into itself through various refineries.

Ignorance slithers from Gongon in long threads, weaving into the Dull Maybe. Gongon's Death Subworld becomes the Spring of Begin A wellspring of lethean water, from which flow several rivers, twining through the entire dull maybe, having small brooks and branches in other subworlds, that persist even if conditions there might be strange(such as being entirely fire)

Beginwater slowly washes away memory of those in contact with it, or who drink it, without petrifying them, allowing the dead to more easily return to a blank slate with no attachments. It is also great at getting those stubborn stains out of fabric, and currently the best base stock for soups and stews in existence.

Souls destined for Gongon are drawn into the depths of the Spring of Begin, where the are expeditiousky washed clean of all recollection and promptly reincarnate, as fresh and vital souls. Small driftwood carving of their former selves bob up with the waters of the spring, flowing along its rivers.

Ignorance used to add the Spring of Beginning to the Dull Maybe.

Spoiler: Devoured by Gongon (click to show/hide)

Sanity wells up in the Gomagic clusters, making Gomagic even more powerful, versatile and pervasive. Available anywhere and to anyone.

[Supernerd]

ANTHEM-314 considers the world that is forming. It seemed almost specifically designed to be inhospitable; without even a single place where its creators would be capable of flourishing, with even the prospect of surviving being dubious at best.

If there was a chance anywhere, ANTHEM-314 determined it would be deep underground, below the fog of forgetfulness, and the reflected light of the Gomoons.

Thus using one Rock act and one Machine act, ANTHEM-314 created the Mountain Range of "y7rulspowTvwA7ZAfDkpPQ==". This continent consist almost entirely of a series of huge mountains with very little of interest beyond rock and stone; or at least that would be the case when looking at it from above. Beneath them lies massive underground caves of metal, complete with functional mechanical lights and benign electronic devices; at least for now, as without maintenance these relics would not survive the millennia to come. Unlike many of the other continents, navigation in y7rulspowTvwA7ZAfDkpPQ== would be relatively simple with many common patterns to the cave formations, and clear stable landmarks above.

[TricMagic]

A season to remember. A season to honor. To partake of the bloodwine. V decree, let mortals find rest in the first, and war in the second.

The Act of Noble Wines, flow forth, defining the Season of Remembrance. When memories can be obtained, hardened, cherished, and wine allow lost memories to resurface. Honor the past that came before you, and harden yourselves for the seasons to come. 3/3 Hat and Skull added.

The Act of Life drips down the mouth, blood blood blood. The act of drinking the blood/wine of others allows empowerment of mortals. War crosses the land as the people fight for dominance and safety from the oncoming seasons. And above it all the Star of Chaos shines blood red, and the dark skies are dyed in it. 0/3

[Demonic Spoon]

Gongon doesn't actually know if this is how it works, as is proper, but suggests that the majority of divines agree on a

Celestial Policy of Fulgurous Mercy

That none of Sparked shining
massacre massed mortals maliciously
with their divine acts of miracle,
in such upholding of integrity
wondrous worldworking
superb societyspinning

Let all be as
Divine Will

Celestial Seals

[Stirk]

Luka blesses the Season of Remembrance with a Hat and Skull action. Skull iconography can be used to remember the dead (especially drinking wine from skull-shaped things) while drinking from hats will allow the living to recall things lost to them.

Of course all seasons are hat seasons if you are a true believer in hats.

Sornlun brands the Bloodwine with Heaven and Flame. Those who partake in blood are marked as blood sinners in the eyes of the celestial forces and heavenly flames. Although they will grow stronger, they will fear the Sun and recoil from Flames. Blood sinners who seek repentance might do so by embracing the judgement of the Sun, which shall burn away their flesh and blood until the blood mark is gone. If their repentance is sincere, surely the Heavens will spare them?...

Bloodwine rebels? Broodwaters reject? A Curse from the Sun upon the very ocean itself? A Drought. Upon Life itself.
Vahi Virasata Vaina. Reject that which burns away fermentation and growth. This is Contradictory to Life.

Sornlun, its limbs and shell removed, had an appearance closer to a sky-worm than a moon-centipede now.
"The Heavens disapprove... the taste of Bloodwine will corrupt lesser creations with an unquenchable thirst. They will go unchecked, and steal, and destroy, until they lose themselves into the thirst."

The blind Spark further added.
"We do not wish to curse the entirety of creation, solely those who would steal the Life of others born-in-blood for their own devices. The blood, and wine, and bloodwine granted to them by the World's bounty shall be theirs, and shall not brand them."

It mixes Power and Love to build a foundation for a new season: The Season of St. Valentine (Infantry Tank Mk III), the most propitious time of the year when all is fair in love and war. During the Season of St. Valentine, there is no clear line between rivals and lovers, and making war is of a piece with making love. Of course, during this Season, no actual lasting harm will come to anyone as a result of the festive observance, so that the erstwhile warriors can see the season out basking in the fiery afterglow.

It solicits investment of one or more thematically appropriate Acts to complete this production.

Life for blood. Blood for power. Power for Life. Let mortals fight and love and fight, ever seeking. The drinking of blood to empower themselves as they choose, and to prove worthy of warlove. The dead risen through bloodwine rite, healthy and hale. Offer an Act of Life for this accord.

The Sun, the Sky. Fight and live, not to die. But history wrought, lineage made. Life goes on. And Wine is made.

In the Shadow Plane, Sornlun melds the latent shadows into several floating islands of wispy unseen flames. These islands possess the comforting warmth of shadow, and the ethereal vigor of flames. Maybe some life will appear here someday, or not.

Create the Wisp Islands in the Shadow Plane (1 Heaven + 1 Flame)

[Crystalizedmire]

The Shadow Plane is too gloomy for Yalini's liking. So she spread her wings far and wide across the shadow and made an ocean of light. Use 2 aligned acts to create an ocean of light.

[Egan_BW]

Create the Steelfeather Canopy continent in the Shadow Plane. 1 Night, 1 Beast.

A place of rest, an abiological forest where colossal feathers jut upwards to provide shade from the nearby light sea, and cover from circling predators. The network of feathers becomes more dense the further down you go, providing cover for the large on the upper levels of the canopy and cover for the small below.
