And Greenleaf causes the plants to evolve, creating trees and other large organisms. Life becomes very dangerous for landborn animals, as they are now close to the bottom of the foodchain, prey to every plant larger than them. Their only defense is their own mobility, letting them avoid the immobile plants while hunting for foodstuffs smaller than themselves.
And Beanchubbs creates the dwarves from the rock of a mountain. These short, stout humanoids are untouched by Beanchubbs original corruption, and so does not eat. And like all other creatures, they do not drink or sleep or age. The monikers short and stout are as compared to trees. Compared to other creatures, they are huge. Eight of these pure creatures find themselves on the Continent of Protection.
And Beanchubbs stuffs the little critters with information. He teaches them of axes, of fire and of harvesting plants. And grants them the pick. This information is too much for any single dwarf to hold with a single ACT. And so four castes arise. The axedwarves, wielders of the axe. If there were any trees, these warriors would take down these monsters, to feed the firepits of the next cast. The woodburners, keepers of the secret of fire. Also there is the peasants, knowledgeable in the gathering of plants, and the miners, wielders of the pick, and knowledgeable in the art of mining. For now there are two dwarves of each cast, a male and a female, though they are hard to tell apart.
Of course, with the lack of trees and plants on the Continent of Protection, the first three casts don't have much to do. The axedwarves set themselves up as rulers, and order the other dwarves around. The woodburners and peasants have little choice but do what they say, but the miners; they dig. And they close the tunnel behind them, keeping them from the reach of the axedwarves. And below the ground they begin to carve a domain of their own.
And Hillburra advances animal life, and one species in particular, the elephants. The average animal is better capable of defending itself against the plants now, and grass becomes a staple eating for some. However, the tall trees are still the main predators, capable of taking down all life forms except one; the mighty elephant. The elephants size makes it the apex predator, eating trees, bushes, monkeys, and wildebeests without any fear of lesser beings.
And Geb creates the Naga, which come to inhabit the Islands of Discomfort. And they do breed and build, crafting a society for themselves in the cave. Living in the safety of Geb's realm, they become philosophers. And some begin to wonder about what is outside the Islands of Discomfort. Many varied theories arise. Maybe the cave is the stomach of a giant turtle. Maybe the rock and metal stretches forever. Maybe elder gods live outside, kept only at bay by Geb's power. Only one Nage thinks to actually approach his god in the middle of the cave, and ask.

It should be noted that I really only intended to use the waiting list if people dropped out. There isn't intended to be any rotation between the AEONs.
