(hey, Nuke, glad to see i finally have someone to fight against! dont expect me to go easy on you
oh and call the gemchildren 'gemchildren' or whatever you want, Gemma Liberi is only the scientific and official name, exactly like Homo Sapiens is for humans. But remember, the gem children rebels do not have access to more than the most basic of my magic. Also, dont expect to get into the Hub, I am one of its controllers and i refuse to let you in. EDIT: Unless if you somehow defeat me and manage to get a glimpse of the Codex ofcourse)
Zyenild was very annoyed. It was true that he was thankful to the God of Beauty for giving this new 'class' system to his people, thus insureing better productivity, but another god's interference was starting to ruin all his work. This new entity, what was it doing? It had sprung from that other evil god's realm, and it had started roaming the world as if it was a mere mortal. Not only that, but it even went as far as helping the rebellious clans of the gem children, starting with the Saphire Tunnel clan. Who was this Insurgo or whatever to decide what HE, Zyenild, did with HIS OWN creations??? But whatever he did, he didnt have the power of the flows to give to rebellious clans. Although some of the rebellious clans had stolen tiny bits of arcane knowledge from the clans following Fan-Hondak, they wouldnt be able to get anymore without he himself giving it to them.
Zyenild approached Primordia, and called out to this new god, Insurgo, "You new entity, who do you think you are? I am Zyenild, the lord and creator of these creatures. You say you want them to have free will, but what is free will when they do not know what to do with it? I am guiding them, i gave them magic, and knowledge, and now want to unify them to face all other oppostion. Seperated, they are weak, together, they are strong. So why do you not want to help me unite them against the hords of Yaven'Gan instead of weaken them and insure their loss? I will even allow the Gem Children to worship other gods as they wish, to insure all their diverse prayers are answered, as long as they stay loyal to me first above all other gods. Any who refuse, I will consider impurities in my vision of perfection, and they will be cleansed. If you continue helping the rebels, you will be cleansed too."
Not waiting for its answer, as it might take a long time to come, Zyenild appeared to Fan-Hondak in vision once more. He instructed him to start work on a new creation, something that might be used in the future conflict, wether it was against the demon hordes or the damned rebels. He would NOT allow ANYONE to hinder his plans!
And thus, Fan-Hondak retreated to his study, leaving his leader duties to some subordinates. For 13 days and 13 nights he toiled, and finally stepped out again. In his hand, he held a staff, inlaid with many hundreds of gems arranged in intricate patters. The Staff of the Archmagus. Many of the larger gems were gems never before seen, as they were created by Fan-Hondak himself, with the guidance from Zyenild, by combining and rearranging other gems. That was the second tier of Magic, the Path of the Crystallurgist. This staff would be the first and most powerful of these magical weapons, atleast for now.
((Create Artifact: Staff of the Archmagus. Can be used to surpress the ennemies magic completely, and to increase allies magics to extreme levels. 3PP
Teach Populace: Staff/wand/etc creation. Used to store spells and power better ones. None are as poweful as the Staff of the Archmagus as they arent artifacts, but they are much easier to produce en mass and thus are not unique. 1PP
Teach Populace: Crystallurgy. Thus, better gems could now be created, gems that no other clan could have as they werent naturally found gems and making them required Zyenild's own magic. This insured an even greater chance of victory over puny rebel clans. 1PP
1PP left. will be used to rid me of Insurgo if i see the need to do so.))
