Lorian then decided to create a place that WAS knowledge. a self-aware forest between the land beyond and non-space. this forest entertained itself with every change around it. Everything from the news from Lorian of what the gods were discussing to the current air currents in its own realm. "This place shall be called Kiranatos" Lorian decided.

After a time away Wayock came back, bigger, better and more experienced.

((Raise DR: 1/4))

Wayock looked all around, Shur was gone for the moment. Reappearing every now and again. He looked around again, the planet was thriving without the constant rays of Shur. There was relative peace, he felt that some... Something was happening between other gods, something that would be good for Wayock. But for now he needed to focus. Focus upon the one thing he loves, war. There was peace, but the whole planet was not very productive. He let all the plants and the creatures to thrive and grow, spread.

Rumbling, that deep resonating Rumbling. Garish felt the cool touch of the magma on his skin. Those foolish fleshlings thought that heat affected his works, oh if he had a mouth and a tongue he would be able to taste the palpable ignorance in their actions. With a swing of one great talon in the core the great lands above conformed to his wishes. The fools, the heat did not burn him, and their alterations held no sway over the plane that he himself was.

Create Subrace Skaturii Rex (2/4)
Massive hulking behemoths, a hundred feet high with rending claws, their existence was for but one purpose: Protect the God of All Machines.

Raise Army: Skaturii Rex. (0/4)
With the pathetic attempts of Rhuax Garish felt that those who would seek to destroy progess should suffer a fate worse then death, an eternal imprisonment with the Skaturii Rexes, beasts made with brutal efficiency in mind.

Usaria, shaper of the ether
Domains: Night
Alignment domain: good
Portfolio element: Dreams
Symbol: A four pointed star with a spiral set in the center.
Alignment: Neutral Good
Divine Rank: 6
Class: Monk 20 Shadowdancer 8


Within the nothingness of the void, there existed a mind. For aeons it grew, it observed, it contemplated. It saw the creations of the other minds, and was inspired. It longed to create as the others did. For Aeons further, it pondered this idea, and put forth it’s energy. The mind chose a name for itself, an identity, a visage. From the ether of reality itself, it created a body, and Usaria, the shaper of the ether was born.

Her body was that of a woman, wispy and insubstantial. Her skin was white as the stars, and her hair as black as the night. Her eyes shown like sapphires, lacking irises or pupils.  Clothed in fabric that appeared like the night sky, she beheld the void in which she was born. The void was as it was named, a void.

All about her was the nothingness of the void. A blank empty reality devoid of matter and energy. But it was more than that to Usaria. It was a canvas. It would be here in which she began her creation. Usaria stretched out her hands and called the space of the void to herself. She felt its raw potential in her hands, waiting to be shaped. She took a bit of the space, and worked it in her fingers. She stretched it, wove it, worked it, refined it. She made about herself a ring of space, glittering with tiny beacons of starlight.

She put forth her power, and she and the ring of space vanished. Parallel to the material world, the space reappeared as it’s own plane. Usaria continued to send forth her power, and the plane expanded, growing, surging, lengthening. It grew for an age, and yet for a second. She poured her wisdom, her knowledge, and her long aeons of contemplation into it. The plane grew vast and massive, large enough to house the world that Usaria envisioned. And it grew intelligent, sharing in Ursaria’s mind itself.

As the plane assumed it’s final shape, Usaria rested, idly decorating her new home with a beautiful starfield as she contemplating what she should create next.

Name: Aether
Gravity: Objective Directional Gravity. In this plane, while one is above the ground, they experience gravity normally. However, when they step off of the ground into the void, they become weightless.
Time: Timeless
Shape/Size: Self contained Torus. Anything leaving the edge of the torus will reappear at the center of the torus. One cannot go into the center and reappear at the edge, but will simply jump to the other side of the center.
Morphic: Sentient
Alignment: Good, strongly
Magic: Normal magic

Create plane: Aether

Kryz took notice of something about the humans he had created. They knew only greed and Sexual deviance. So he bestowed upon them four basic concepts: 1) Compasion, so they can care for others as well as themselves; 2) Morality, so they can differentiate between right and wrong and choose to do right or wrong as they please; 3) Honor, so they have a sense of self worth; and 4) Conviction, so they can folow through with whatever decisions they make.

Residing in Aether, Usaria looked out among the other planes and the creations of the other deities. She saw the planes they had created, the land they shaped, the peoples they created. So far, it was a great work of art. But it had been tainted. She saw the greed of Rhuax, who sealed away the other suns, the retaliation of Titus, the threat of battle between Rhuax and Garish, who spread plagues over the material world. And the machinations of the Unnamed one and Youlon, teaching the other’s creations concepts that she did not approve of.

Yet there were others that had no part of this strife. They simply tended to their own creations. One in particular caught her attention. Kryz, the wandering storm, who made many beautiful things on the material plane, and taught the humans virtues to counter Youlon and the Unnamed one. She desired to know more about this one.

Ursaria took a bit of the space of Aether, and began shaping it. She molded it into a body like hers, wispy, transparent, and clothed in a silken cloth, which glittered like a clear night sky. She had they body of a young woman, with white eyes and black hair. Ursaria blessed the body with a mind like her own, and graced it with life. “Awaken, my herald, my child,” Ursaria said, and the herald awoke.
----
While Kryz rested, the herald of Usaria came to him in a dream, gracefully appearing before his mind’s eye. “Greetings Kryz, the wandering storm. My mistress sends her regards,” The herald said respectfully. “We have seen the actions of other gods. Some act out of greed or vengeance, and others act to corrupt the creations of others. And we have seen your acts, the beautiful things created upon the material realm, and the good virtues you have taught the creations. Ursaria, the Shaper of Ether wishes to meet you. Though her creation is yet newly started, and she has only manifested herself recently, she wishes to support you in your endeavors.”

*AP*

Velik Broj, to the Nezumi

"Now that I have granted you the power to sacrifice, the void must be fed. First, build me a temple, deep in the forest, and give me five of the humans."

The Nezumi Clerics did as they were told, and built a temple from stone and wood. It had five pillars, holding a roof, and no walls. Near each pillar was a stone table, creased so that blood may flow onto the wood floor, forever staining it.

  Knowing of the humans' vice of greed, the Nezumi lured them to the temple, with promises of decorated giant beetle shells. The humans were caught, and tied to the tables with ropes woven of reed. They were pierced by sharpened branches repeatedly, the blood was drained, and the bloodless corpses were pulled into the void.

  The place became known as the Unhallow, and the Nezumi sacrificed there on important days.


Guide Populace: (2/4 AP) Build sacrificial altar.


The souls of the men were drained of substance, they became hollow. The void filled the husk, and a new race was born. It was humanoid in shape, with skin that was black, and the blood was wisps of black smoke. The eyes were coals in their sockets, and they were completely hairless. They were bony and tall.

Three kinds of the creature were made, one that dwelt in the Hungry Void, consuming the souls of mortals, creating more of it's kind. These were called Alver Renders. The second would carry souls from the material plane to the Renders. They could move freely between the hungry void and the material plane. These were called Alver Couriers. The third lived in the material plane, and was present at Nezumi sacrifices. It guided the others to it, and would tear souls from human bodies. these were called Alver Watchers.

The Alver were born, and the Nezumi worshipped them.

Rhuax, in Istamoshur, to Wayock

"Wayock, this fool Garish seeks to unmake what we have made, and kill our crops before the time of the harvest. Let us appoint a few mortals to watch for the Skaturii and to campaign against invaders from the outer planes."

Wayock thought about it for some time... This would bring battle, such that he loved.

Wayock, in Nitomushul, to Rhaux

"Aye. I agree with this, I put forward my power."

 Ursaia surveyed her creation, the plane of Aether, seeing the space she brought into being. It was beautiful, but it was empty. Her creations would need land to dwell upon. Her will reached forth, and merged with that of the plane she had made. Together, they turned their attention to the ring of Aether, and focused their energies upon it.

Matter came into being.

Through the vastness of Aether, there was the glittering like billions and billions of stars. All around the great ring of Aether, crystals came into being. Some were vast, forming great mountains and towering peaks. Many were tiny, miniscule like grains of clear sand, and formed stretches of pure white plains and dunes. All around the center of Aether, the glittering circle formed, surpassing the material world in size, shape, breath, and mass. The faint starlight reflected off it. Eos, the land of Aether was made.

But her creation would need light and warmth. The light of Rhaux and Istamoshur would be far too bright and harsh for her plans, so she made her own. She took one of the large crystal mountains and uprooted it from the land. Ursaria held this crystal high, and collected the gentle light of the stars within it. Soon, it glowed with energies of it’s own, shining with a graceful light and a nourishing warmth. She shaped the crystal with her hands, making it into a perfect sphere. She set this sphere at the very center of Aether, letting it’s soft light grace all of Eos. Selene, the light of Aether was made.

2 AP Create land: Eos, land of Aether
1 AP Mold land: Selene, light of Aether

Kryz felt it was time to ake his own plane. So Kryz summoned some of the Power in the Maelstrom and expand and intesified it. The power took a form that expanded infinitely in all directions. The plane contained all the powers of wind and storms in its infinte space. These powers were not without control, the plane itslef restricted the winds and storms to managable levels so that mortals may exist upon the plane without fear of death or injury. The plane will strike back at invaders that threaten the plane or its inhabitants, but harms none who do not pose a threat. Small chunks of floating rock were scattered about the plane. These chunks of land contained grass and some contained small ponds just small enough to fit upon the rocks and capable of sustaining other vegitation and life. Magic acts normally on this plane, and time does not pass upon the plane. This plane's gravity is Subjective Directional, meaning one can move in any direction they please. The plane is strongly dominated by the powers of Air and Good. Kryz named this plane Zynlon and made it his home.

Zynlon, Plane of Air and Storms
  • Infinite
  • Sentient
  • Timeless
  • Strongly Good Aligned
  • Air-Dominant
  • Subjective Directional Gravity
  • Normal Magic
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kryz then took notice of the Herald of Usaria. Deciding to accept the offer to meet with Usaria, Kryz created a herald of his own. This herald took the form of a hawk whose wings were cloaked in gusting and twisting winds, and whose talons and beak occasionaly released a jolt of lightning or two. He then sent it to Usaria in Aether to accept her offer. The herald entered the plane in a crack of thunder and made its way to Usaria. "Greetings Lady Usaria," the hawk said with a bow of the head, "My master, Kryz, has agreed to meet with you any time you see fit. Just give me the location and I will relay it to him. He would also like for me to comment that it is nice to find another god who cares for things other than corruption, greed, or evil." and then the hawk just waited, patiently, for Usaria's response.

Ursaria walked upon the new lands of Eos, her feet leaving footprints in the crystal white sands. A peal of thunder echoed through the lands, and Ursaria looked up to see the hawk of Kryz approaching. She held out her arm for the hawk to alight upon, and listened to his message.

“Thank you good Hawk of Kryz. Let your master know that he is welcome to Aether and to walk the land of Eos at any time he chooses. I will be here, shaping my creation. Give this token to him, so that Aether may recognize him.” Ursaria said. She stooped and plucked up a crystal from the ground. With her hands, she shaped it into a four pointed star. The center of the crystal glowed with a soft starlight collected from Selene. Ursaria gave this crystal to the hawk, and let it fly through the still air of Aether back to his master.

Garish to Wayock and Rhaux
The Skaturii marched through the lava that covered Garish's skin, the smaller plant Skaturii being completely covered, the larger Skaturii wading ankle deep in the lava. They marched to the great metal gate into the breach, the every grinding of metal on metal and the scrap of claws a screaming testament to Garish's magnificence.

Create Subrace: Skaturii Carnifexia (3/4 AP Left)
Greater then even the largest Skaturii Rex the Carnifexia are massive beasts, each a unique beast hand made by Garish to serve as his protectorates, these beasts stepped in the pooling lava as if it were nothing, barely a fingers width deep compared to their massive claws.
