Khara knows that, for there to be minds, there have to be life. And conditions for a sentient race to settle and survive. And so with his divine power, Khara makes the first living things emerge, grass and vegetation and he puts then in the great island. This island would be known only as First. Khara then awaits.
8 power points.

The lone eye of Ugroll follows the blazing sun on its first rise over the barren world. He looks to the southwest, where dry, grassy steppes rise out of the earth.

With a simple line in his book, Belnan wrote the sea world into a magnificent coral depth, circling an island covered in a marshy form of alguas. This place is being prepared for the first legend he has in mind.

Shape lande: - 3, leave 5
+ 1 for < 5

rolled 6, 4 = 10

Churning...changing...growing...

From the Great Aether, the formless entity, pulling its essence together, escaped the primordial swirl of nature, breaking out into the great sea of worlds. After wandering through the chaotic mesh of this great astral ocean, the entity crashed upon a maturing world...

Floating over the northernmost lands, the Great Spirit crossed one of the world's oceans before settling down on a misshapen landmass. Finding comfort in its potential, the Great Spirit opened its mouth, unleashing a torrent of water, plants, and wildlife. The vomit settled, becoming a greenly swamp.

From his temporary abode, the Great Spirit addressed his new home.

"I am Bo'gash, and here, I shall develop..."

Flowing through his new domain, Bo'gash noted its size, its species, and its climate before retreating back to his murky depths. There was more work to be done...

6 - 3 (forming land-Swamp) - 3 (forming climate-Humid) = 0 (+1 next round)

rolled 5, 1 + 1 = 7

Kor wakes. Kor wakes to find a barren yet developing land beneath him. A perfect land for his people. So he reaches his hand down to the new world and places his finger upon the northern lands. At his touch, great swathes of lush grassland grow and flourish.

Shape Land x9 -9
+1 for <5

rolled 1, 2 = 3

>>16010664
It is in the deep new swamps that the avatar of The World Serpent is born into this new land, Ouroboros! The Wheel without end.

rolled 6, 5 = 11

Rhondish looks around with his ashen eyes at all that the others had made, Beautiful, he thought. But he could not see it all, so he gathered his strength and constructed a range of mountains to better survey the world in which he no dwells.

Shape land 1"x 4 = 9 - 4 = 5

rolled 1, 3 = 4

Hey there, join us in chat if you haven't already.

rolled 4, 3 = 7

Khara use his power to grow more forests into more islands. The world was changing, he could see. Mountains rising, swamps and steppes forming up. He smile with joy. Soon, awareness would spring.

rolled 1, 6 + 2 = 9

With the sun at its zenith, Ugroll sweeps his gaze across the southern continent. Some life appears there, but the land remains arid and unforgiving.

rolled 5, 3 + 4 = 12

The soul of Water:
Deep in a cavern below the surface of the Seaweed island, surronded by a wall of water that only the bravest would dare to dive into, lie the Nacre cavern. Made of the same material composing pearls, it is where the explorers could find the largest spherical treasure of the sea, in an abundant quantity. The risks taken to find some of these jewels would be easily worth it as these are magical foci of great purity.
Some would say it is a natural phenomenon, other the work of Gods, or the result of a powerful spell... few know the true answer.

Now, with the first Legend settled down, Belnan looks for a new place to settle his mind

Event: -10
+2 Turn, + 2 Bonus

rolled 1, 6 = 7

Bo'gash's slumber was short-lived as the strange Great Serpent, finding the bosom of the swamp a perfect fit, settled quickly in. No more than a parasite, the Great Serpent spawned the Ouroboros amongst Bo'gash's creations. His strange, leg-less ways was an afront to Bo'gash's budding swamp. Infuriated, Bo'gash gurgled with displeasure: his home would not be so easily taken without force!

A snake's venom was deadly and something that could not be approached so carelessly; this Bo'gash knew as well as any predator. For now, he would bide his time for one he was better suited for conflict.

11 (roll) + 1 (cumulative) - 5 (forming land-Swamp) - 5 (forming climate-Humid) = 1 (+2 next round)

rolled 6, 3 = 9

It is from a single drop of the Ouroboros blood the Jungle grows, deep and wild as no other. And so does the Ouroboros moves into his new home.

rolled 6, 5 = 11

shit trying again

rolled 6, 2 + 2 = 10

The land continues to develop. Kor notices the work of other deities such as he. No matter. The land must be ready for the people. Kor continues to brush his hand across the land and yet more grasslands grow. A flourish and forests rise from previously empty earth. The people will have a utopia.

Rhondish knows that once sentien beings walk across this world, he will no longer be able to stay as he is, so he uses a large amount of power to create a link to this world. An ashen coloured creature the approximate size of a goat rises from the volcano in the center of the mountains.

Create Avatar = 10. 16 - 10 = 6 + whatever this rolls.

Pulling from primeval energies and tearing from celestial fabric Kurrald summons a dark race from the caves of the churning sea. Black of hearts, wings and eyes, but striking human heroic features, the Nethalym form from the pits and are summoned to the surface on a moonless night on the black isle in the south eastern corner of the world.

Mok'Ra looked upon the world for the first time. He looked to the north, and saw mountains, but when he looked to the south, the world was flat. So he mustered his will and sprung steep mountains and sharp cliffs out of the ground.

rolled 5, 2 + 3 = 10

Ugroll is intrigued by the jungles of the World Serpent, and decides to make some of his own. The desert also continues to spread as the groundwork is laid for the deity's future plans.

The heart of flame

It is a mystery that has yet to be solved. Everyone experienced it: when going underground, the temperature is meant to go down, as the warming light of the Sun become nothing more than a memory.

But not in this place. No, the long travel required to reach the bottom of this cave is only going to be hotter and hotter. It is the way to the center of the Earth, the pathway to the Subterranean sun.

Legends mention it as the gate to Hell, made of pure flames only souls can cross. Other, more pragmatic, talk about a star in a cradle. Of course, there's also the silly theory about "nuclear reaction", but who would believe in such a stupid theory in a world of magic?

One thing for sure, however... these flames are not only eternal, but can also be mastered and channeled... who know what would hapen if someone would use such a great power?

Bo'gash's scheming had been cut short. The Great Serpent and his Ouroboros, finding more manageable ground, fled the comforting heat of Bo'gash's swamps. For once in many moons, the swamp bellowed with nothing but the sound of nature...

Looking over his land, Bo'gash grew lonely. Across the fledgling world, he heard the cries of life. Bo'gash melded into the swamp waters, looking for an appropriate vessel for his might...

After searching across the greatest tree and the smallest rotting log, he found no greater predator than the gator. Small minded, but strong and unyielding. Reaching out with the same magic that had formed him, Bo'gash caressed the gator as it arched in pain, filled with the primal energies of nature. After a moment, it stood, aware of itself for the first time.

"Behold! I, the Great Spirit Bo'gash, have granted you the right to stand and make work of your surroundings! Do not take my gift lightly, for though you were the greatest of my predators, you must fight to keep that place, just as any truly deserving of this gift!"

The creature fell down in worship.

"I shall name you Caxuh, for you were the greatest hunter!"

As so Bo'gash, with his new avatar, wandered the land for while longer, resting for the coming growth spasms.

8 + 2(cumulative) - 10 (create avatar) = 0 (+3 next round)

rolled 1, 1 + 3 = 5

His land is almost ready. Seeking to create a cradle for the people, Kor reaches into the depths of the earth and pulls out large tracts of land. Allowing the water of the oceans to pour in and leave an island surrounded by water. A perfect place to put the first man. With this, Kor rests.

10 - 5 (change land) = 5
2d6 + 3 (<5 cumulative bonus) + 5 (leftover power)

rolled 6, 3 = 9

Moved by will of the World Serpent, Ouraboros travel throughout the ever growing jungle seeking to explore its new borders and deepest places, but his mission was not one of sole exploration but also of procreation, in his travels throughout the jungle he drop in his awake countless scales from which a new race was born. Their name was the Naga, they were serpents like their God but much more than simple serpents, for they could stand tall unlike other creatures without feet and had arms and hands like no other reptile had. And it was with their hand they could do what was never done before in the this world they could build a city in honor of their god. Itza is its name the oldest city on the world; build in the jungle itself close to the sea, with its great pyramids rising over all the trees.

Rhondish understood that no matter how hard he or any of the other gods tried, evil would always have a hold of this beautiful world, the balance of good and evil, yin and yang. So he decided to give it a place to stay and hope that it wouldn't bother anyone.

rolled 3, 6 = 9

Kurrald felt across the void and reached his smoke laden claws into the abyss. Finding a pocket of blight, a inkier blackness and a sea of night his face curled into some sick visage of a smile. Satisfied he pulled forth a terrible thing... hate. The early stages of his spawning Nethalym were infantile and empty of purpose. He gave them the gift of hate, pulled from the abyss and envisioned a dark world where there would be hate, and slaughter. He made a nightmare before there were dreams. In a world where death had no name, he had delivered a harbinger of carnage. Imbued with all the stuff of the stars, he gave his Nethalym passions... they would know hate, love, mirth and melancholy.

A cascade of rolling thundered crawled across the sky in the southeast of the world and the sea turned angry. A soft and black rain fell upon the coast, and his power urged his spawning race to crawl from the caves and inherit this world.

rolled 4, 4 + 2 = 10

Mok'Ra saw the vile face of the newborn Nethalym. He knew that theirs was the path of evil, and so he set them off upon this path as soon as he could.

9 - 4 (corrupt civ: Nethalym) - 1 (terraform) = 4
4 + 2d6 + 2 (low total bonus)

I'm terribly sorry for writing a post in this thread which isn't to do with your game in particular, but how did you generate this map?

Well you could just take the blank thing at the top and use that.

>>16012297
I already have but I may need more in the future for other games of Dawn of Worlds.

Reading up now, looks pretty interesting.

VAGETA, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTERS SAY ABOUT HIS POWER LEVEL?!

>>16010222
Isn't that the map that notch posted to show off new terrain generation?

is this dead

Not really, simply, we'll resume playing later, when everyone is up again.

>>16013664
do you know if players can still join up??

I guess Ugroll would have the answer... but if there's lacking some people, then I suppose. See you in 12h

ten $$$ says timezones will make this next to impossible for me to play

We have Australia, USA, UK and Reunion Island players, so...

>>16013814

Who in the U.K is playing?..

>>16013814
I honestly donot know how some of them can join the game with such conflicting timezones.

Hellscape included

Name: Grogar The Frozen
Alignment: True Neutral
Domains: Sorrow, Frost, Rejection
Positive things you inspire: Sacrafice, Bravery, Understanding
Negative things you inspire: Sadness, Lonliness, Wrath, Anti-Magic

Grogar was once a mortal human far away in a distant dimension. He was king of the north lands, a land of harsh tundras and cold grasslands. He ruled with a benevolent heart; His people loved him, but his position as king crippled his ability for companionship: That changed when he met a beautiful woman named Sonya. She understood his lonliness and eased his pain with comforting words. Friendship became love quickly, and soon she was queen to him. However, she revealed her true plot. She was sent over to his kingdom by a rival faction, she was instructed to kill the king by any means necessary, and being the royal queen and sucessor to the throne, become the ruler of Grogars kingdom. Once she was done with that, she would drive the kingdom into the ground, giving the rival faction an advantage in the wars to come. Sonya revealed her plot to Grogar, and he was shocked by this turn of events. His arms failed to reach for his sword as his heart crumbled. The deceitful woman froze Grogar and pushed him into the sea, never to be seen again.

Grogars spirit remained strong, it was not full of hatred but rather sadness and lonliness. His feelings were so strong that he asscended to being a deity.

(Just a bit of backstory: Just wondering if there are any slots open for me to jump in this late in the game.. Also I'm new to /tg/ and especially RPG's, so this is a learning experience for me. If I am accepted into the game I may end up ballsing up a few times, I deeply apologize!)

Guess I should make this clear:

We won't be playing this game again until 8:30pm PST, which is 04:30 in the U.K., or 14:30 (2:30pm) in eastern Australia. Right now Serpent and I are just fiddling with the map, trying to make it look prettier.

For those interested, I generate the map using pic related as a blank template, then carefully outline the continents in black using Paint.net (MS Paint, Photoshop, GIMP, or whatever will work just as well). Then I add an island to hexes with a very small area of land to make sure that no hex isn't worth the 1 point you're spending on it to shape it. Finally I might add a lake here or there, or some extra landmass if I think it's necessary.

Great now I'm feeling nostalgic. BRB gettin' my Nintendo on. If you need me, I'll be in 1989, wearing tighty whities and drinking niklips, playing Nintendo on that old fat bubble-screened television.
