Spoiler: RP (click to show/hide)

This time, it was Joulan and Jouli's turn to answer the Serani's questions. All were answered, requests for advice with difficult decisions, comfort after losing loved ones, and many others.
Also, to protect from the lera-mabali Joulan & Jouli showed the Serani how to hunt, stealthily, quickly and without danger. They also aided Endren in His concentration of ideas, and the creation of the teaching homes.

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

1) JJ talks to Serani to gain followers [1 action]
2) JJ Goes about the villages, teaching the Serani to hunt better. This should give a population bonus and hopefully, it will persuade them to worship JJ. [2 actions]
3) JJ helps Endren lay down the Education system, of course twisting it in their own way. [1 action]

BTW: Where do I find the map? the link on the first page just goes to turn 1. THANKS!

Okay then, here goes nothing:

Nejyxl

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Nejyxl, The Will
Nejyxl is more of a power than a deity. It personifies itself as the will of a species, and mostly acts by giving it's worshipers bonuses to the actions they take. Rather than manifesting as an avatar it will spread it's power to its worshipers and spread the faith through them. It is capable of action but reserves that for when it makes itself known to a new species. Usually it will simply react to its followers actions in a way that reinforces them and increases their effectiveness. It is questionable as to whether it is concious of another more direct way of influencing events.

in serani pantheon you are(or will be, depend on where you start) lower than normal deitys, that take their power from the natural laws themself. this, of course, doesn't mean that they will think that you are or can be less powerful than them. that is why you would still enter the pantheon.

this post was just to say that, because reading about Nejyxl i tought "lower than gods".
remember that lower is only because you aren't part of the natural laws that are at the top of the hierarchy in serani religion (or at least the thing that hsould have been serani religion. it all depend on the dice at the end)

[neo1096]

Nejyxl is meant as a force and is not very interested in the races with gods yet. It does not feel it has enough power to challenge them. However it will (if it's added) be something that is not discriminatory and instead seeks to raise those with less power...

[andrea]

learn this: it doesn't matter what you do, serani will take you and put you in their pantheon. you just have ot exist and show yourself in any way.no way to avoid it.

[neo1096]

And if it choses not to reveal itself to you?

[andrea]

it is only a matter of time. serani will explore and know other species, if you show yourself to one of them, they will know. you can't avoid it, you have to surrender. it isn't that bad... just a statue in a temple...

[neo1096]

As long as the Serani realize that even if they put it in their pantheon, it isn't gonna start blessing them automatically Nejyxl will appreciate the growth of it's power. Right now, however it simply isn't willing to risk the attentions of 3 possibly hostile gods simply for a place in a pantheon.

I'm sure the Bhuur wouldn't mind a deity.

[Gantolandon]

Yup, they wouldn't. Consider this as an offer, otherwise they will have to worship subterraenan monsters which care only for food.

TURN THREE

A century has passed since the stones fell...


Global Scenario: Heatwaves

Affects: All

Following an end to the storms that plagued the as-yet-unnamed northern coast of the as-yet-unnamed mainland, dry seasons grew longer and summers warmer across the land as the years progressed.  Although not uncomfortably hot save in the baking desert, the bloom of heat and drier conditions in the plains have selected for grasses with particularly thick seeds able to survive drought, though periodic brush fires have been a problem.  Forests have experienced a bloom in growth, trees reaching higher than ever before.  More fish are appearing in the rivers and along the coast, but with them the mats of green algae beneath the surface grow larger each year.

[Iituem]

I have placed Nejxl in Bhuur territory arbitrarily as an avatar, because an Entity has to begin play as an avatar.  If you wish, Nejxl, this avatar may be whispers in the heads of people, or simply one crazy Bhuur who spouts a lot of rubbish and gets the idea into peoples' heads.

Ultimately, an Entity exists as an idea when it is not manifest, so you'll need to establish at least a basic following before you can vanish and become mere force of will.


Also, only a minor global event (but insidious, and enterprising players might figure out a use for this).  Next turn we may see a return to local events and some more harrowing challenges.

The map doesn't load.

The proper link (I think)

Turn Three Map

You are deliberately screwing with me now, aren't you. 

 

[webadict]

A couple of things are wrong with the map. I should have a certain number out of 9 on my colonies, as well as the colony established should have a few more than 1... If it was settled with 2 (I'm assuming that both survived) and the Cult of Storms gave +1 to all hexes, I should have 3...

As well, some of mine and the Serani unit totals are missing.
