Nehaz saw the other races rise from the Aether, but they would need to be watched over carefully if they were to flourish, as with intelligence comes the possibility of sin.

As the flowers on the floating continent began to bloom, their petals rose into the air. From the petals a figure was built, not totally unlike a human. It's head was shaped like that of a bird, but the eyes were glowing a brilliant golden color. It was covered in shining feathers, that fell from it's body like a blooming flower. It stood 12 feet tall, but was extraordinarily light, weighing only 40 pounds. Most of it's height was due to it's long and spindly limbs, ending in three talons each.

Whenever a sufficiently large patch of flowers were in bloom, one of these were created, feathers the same color as the flowers that formed it.

The Azan were created.

Synk decided it would be best to leave the Material Plane and make one of his own. Synk Blink out of the Material Plane and appeared in a part of the void that was unoccupied.

With a snap of his fingers, a Synks new plane burst from nothing. It looked like one giant swamp, with mountains popping up in a few places. The vegitation of the plane looked more dead than alive. The gravity on the plane was over quadruple that of the Material Plane. The plane seemed to be unaffected by time. The plane stretched on and on, never ending. No matter how far one would travel, they would never reach the end. The plane also had a mind of its own, acting and reacting to anything it wanted to. The plane listened to and obeyed only one being, Synk. The plane had and evil aura, as well as a Lawful one. The plane devoured all magic that entered it. Making spells and other magic abilities all but impossible. The plane itself was given the power to lift this restriction if it deemed the caster worthy.

Synk named this plane Szadoroii.

Synk then began to contemplate what he would place upon this plane, and what purpose it would serve for him.

Wayock walked among the humans as a large, tall man with large muscles and a great big red beard. Long red hair fell down his back. He walked among the humans, they built shelters and shops, bridges and many other constructions. They formed into tribes yet they never fought. It was the same everywhere, no violence. Cooperation was the key to prosperity and success.

It was also the key to war.

The Hollow chuckled as he noticed his son was able to control the Nothing in his blood.He teleported to his son's mind and began schooling him on how to fight and how to control the Nothing to destroy his enemys.After a year his child was strong and mighty, even though his skinny frame suggested otherwise.Finally after _ years his child was ready to wake and wake he did.The Hollow let his child wander and learn all he could from the Humans.

Myzhak was created of nothing. Nothing compressed into geometric polyhedrons. They formed to create him. Why? Because myzhak had willed himself to be. And he believed his will absolute, and set out to make it as such.
But first, he needed a plane of his own. So, he created Laygu'lan. A large expanse of plains with mountains spattered throughout about every 100 miles, with vegetation of an even forest amount near and on the mountains with the plains as shrublands (with small patches of forest. There was a sun, and the plane was a constant temprate climate. There were bottomless pools of water that drew water from the ground to refill themselves, and created water if there was no water in the ground. There was rain every once in a while, flooding the grasslands.

The Mith'Kari were progressing well, but they needed to know of their creator. Even though their God helped them regularly, they did not think of him as a god, merely as... something up there. As such, He decided to show them. He revealed himself explicitly to a chosen few, those who seemed the most stable, and would be the most zealous. The chosen spread their idea of this concept. However, not all was well within the Infinite Depths.

Some of the more... unorthodox tribes decided that many gods created them. While it was true that He did not make the plane, they couldn't possibly be aware of that. As such, he taught the true believers the concept of war. They would wage a religious crusade, one to convert all of their race to his religion.

The Hollow Prince went to the farthest out tribes of the Humans.There he taught the people of his father. The Hollow One. Who was here before all others, who made the void shapable, and who will bring them glory.
He soon gained a army.

The people who joined into the army grew stronger and darkeyed.They learned how to create weapons and armor from Nothing.The armor and weapons arent as strong as they could be if crafted from Pure Nothing, but they will do.

The emperor of decay was not fond of this development, having his power diverted towards the ends of another was rather aggravating to him. So, he took a walk among his people in the realm that he had made.

The wraiths were a morose people, fatalistic in bent. They spent their time trying to survive in their realm, and fortifying the pockets of reality that sprang up from the endless mists of the expanse. Lanis told them of him, and what their task was: They would reign here, at the bottom of the world, where all things inevitably fell to, and minister the progress of decay.

Now, the expanse is a realm that lacks in natural resources, but the wraiths had a saving grace here: those things in the other realms that had great importance and emotion invested in them would survive a metaphorical fall to here when their physical form was spent, and leave a shadowy shade of their former glory in the mists. Of these, the wraiths began to fortify the lands in which they lived. But there was not enough, they could not live on such scraps. But at the moment, it would have to do.

Meanwhile, oblivion touched the hearts of the wraiths, and one in particular was on the very verge of giving in to the shadow in his mind...

AP: 1 Teach Populace: Dungeoneering
AP: 2 Create Animal: Eurucks

The Great Fool taught his imps of the great lands in the mountains, and how to dig them and explore them. Soon they carved out their own homes.

They found great domestic creatures in the forests which they called Eurucks- grand lumbering beasts that are great for meat and they even give a nutrituous liquid when the udders on their stomachs are pulled.

Synk pulled together a gust of winds, and formed it into a humanoid creature. While it resembled the humans of the material plane, its body seemed to be both there and not there at the same time. The body looked as though you could stick a hand right through it, as if it were simply air; but it was just as solid as a human arm. Its eyes resembled those of its creator, only in place of a dark red, they were a dark blue.

Satified with this design, Synk made more of them. He spread them across his plane. He called them the Storm-kin.

Synk then ordered Szadoroii to protect these beings for the next half a century. If, after that time, they couldn't survive here, they didn't deserve to exist on his plane.

Synk then waited as time passed, his creations had learned well. For the most part, they were able to survive on the plane. Since they had passed teh first test, Synk began the second test. He conjured an illness that would spread througout the plane. All who were affected would be driven mad, reverting to a primal and far less stable form. They would lash out at their freinds, family, neighbors, and themselves. Until, eventually, the very power of wind within them burst from their body, ending their suffering. This would kill many, but the strong would survive. This would make sure that only the strongest would survive.

Synk then began to wait and watch, as his second test was enacted.

"I wonder", he said to himself, "if any will survive the final test."

Summary:
Create Populus(1 of 3 AP): The Storm-kin
Pestilence(0 of 3 AP): Sweeping Rage

A etheric wave washed around the Ringworld, pickung up traces of psychic energy from the Ankheg as it washed over them. The wave then rapidly compressed into a dense spinning sphere of energy. Then, in an instant, the energy compressed further into the form of a massive Ankheg, nearly a metre tall in its body alone, with its neck stretching far beyond that. This being felt the rotating will behind its formation, and knew its purpose.

 The newly formed Guardian of the Ringworld spread forth massive wings and flew down to the surface of its planet, to watch over its charge...

There was naught for Wayock to do. Things were progressing. Progressing as he had hoped. So he sat back, watching over his continent and all the creatures scurry across the land, we sat back and rested.
