I am ARMOK. My Wrath is swift, but fair.
New Deities should read my LAWS in their entirety, and, if appropriate, the ACTs of the current AEON.
ACTS#1. Every time I post, all deities will receive one ACT with which they may influence the world. The current amount of ACTs possessed by each god will be listed at the bottom of each post.
#2. All deities are allowed to save up 2 or 3 ACTs (which would take 2 or 3 days) if they so choose, and then use them all at the same time.
#3. All deities are bound by the dictates of all previous ACTs.
#4. An ACT should consist of a description (as long or short as you wish it), and a one sentence summary in bold.
Id sees the flat expanse of the world, and fluffing his whiskers summons his powers. A long crack forms in the world, pouring forth magma which solidifies into the chain of mountains that will be known as the Towers of Creation.
Id Asėnzim creates the Towers of Creation.
Do not use bold for anything besides the summary.
#5. Any act should only consist of one significant action, as summed up in the summary. You may attempt to accomplish more than one thing with one ACT, but doing so flagrantly invites the WRATH OF ARMOK.
The Passing of AEONS#6. AEONS are like chapters. At some point, ARMOK will call for a vote to initiate a new AEON, for which a majority wins. If the AEON does NOT pass, then ARMOK will begin to intervene directly in the affairs of creation. Eventually, another vote will be called by the same rules, and with the same outcome if it is not passed.
When a new AEON is opened, the last one is closed. A lengthy undisclosed amount of time passes for which the cosmos to develop unmolested by the gods. A short description by ARMOK will head each AEON and set-the-stage so to speak.
PARADOX and RETIREMENT#7. If 5 days pass in which a deity does not post, it will be destroyed by PARADOX. You cannot exist and not-exist at the same time.
#8. RETIREMENT is available for those that know that something will keep them absent for more than 5 days. When a deity retires, he is replaced, just as if he had suffered PARADOX. But if the deity returns, he will be put at the top of the waiting list.
THE WRATH OF ARMOKThis is when ARMOK intervenes directly to meddle with your plans, because you have broken the rules. Don't complain! You yourself called upon the WRATH OF ARMOK by breaking the rules.
THE RULE OF FIVETHERE SHALL BE FIVE GODS, NO MORE, NO LESS.
Joining UpJust post the name of your prospective god. You may wish to also write up a proper Dwarf Fortress stat block.
