>>4438381 UNNIIC
UNNIIC approaches the comet high within the stratosphere, albeit hardly close enough to physically reach, within perfect range for the Astronomicon Bridge to manipulate.
As the black liquid pumped from the earth floods through the Astronomicon Bridge's pipes, the magical liquid boils as the comet is pulled upon. Fractures of the massive burning rock break off, a sizeable chunk floating its way towards the UNNIIC, meanwhile another's course is directed into a descent towards the planet below. The rest of the comet quickly passes, but not without a chunk of its Polsarium successfully captured!
Agriculture developed.
Onboard Pipe Network developed.
The turtlefolk are wary of UNNIIC's intimidating presence, but it holds a similar exemplary size as their own God. Tortoiseterra had been absent for many decades, and the generations of those under him have almost all passed on. While a population of turtlefolk will always remain here, around half of the population would agree to accept their new holy figure and board the UNNIIC.

>>4439865 Asmodel
As Asmodel moves to the north east, she can see a sizeable chunk of the comet overhead break off and quickly descend, cratering into her territory further southwest with immense force, no doubt enough to take the lives of many Gorgons.
Unfortunately, the Apophis Scouts will see a different angle of this descending meteor, as it collides directly into the path they walk, splattering their bodies into dust.
>tfw I rolled the meteor impact location before hand, only for your unit to walk right under its collision
Mountains cost 2, so you'll miss out on (21,9).
Claimed 5 hex.
In the brisk mountains at (21,11) that border UNNIIC's territory, a new obelisk is discovered.
Husbandry and Pottery shared with The Bloom.
The Bloom has gifted you Irrigation and Domestication of Tugai, including an amount of the already tame beasts.
The Tugai received are incredibly responsive and domestic for such usually fierce animals, though their fleshy appearance is unusual, it is no matter with how useful these animals may be.
The Bloom's method of irrigation is odd as the blood vessels cover area between the agricultural sites and water source, but its delivery of the water is quite effective for growing crops, allowing population to spike.
As the weeks pass, many Gorgons begin to experience strange symptoms. Blood vessels and tumors sprout from their skin, as their form begins to morph into something bizarre, like mounds of bulbous flesh. But their minds are unchanged; they remain loyal to Asmodel. All that appears different is an amplified desire for their own survive and to share the gift they have received. But otherwise, they are not harmed whatsoever, and your population numbers have not suffered from such.
Cultural Ritual developed.

>Major Action, Devine Influence
Tantalus has heard the suffering of his people. He has heard their fearful whispers, of the flesh-beasts that came in the night to take their friends and neighbors. And he knows what must be done. Arriving on the southward facing shores of 17:22, he moves north past his awestruck minions, inland to the jungles of 17:21. There, he slams his claws into the ground, creating a wave of divine energy that sweeps out and claims much of the surrounding land, more that would ordinarily be possible, thanks to the comet's power.

>Major Action, Create Unit
Behind the crude walls of Safe-Cove, crabs are gesticulating. But the tone is not one of revelry, but one of anger. Clutching crude spears and spiked clubs, they crabs spill forth in a riotous mass, 100 strong, very nearly half the total population all storming westward at the best speed their crabby legs can muster.

>MA: Develop Human Habitation in The Archive - Agriculture + Pine Wood + Whitestone + Whitestone Tools + Index: Humanity
In keeping with his promise to Americus, Earis will task the Archivists with zoning a portion of the ever expanding Archive grounds to be suitable for human habitation. Farmland to grow crops suitable to support human populations, significantly less thick Mist presence for better atmospherics and visibility, and picturesque houses for these families of theirs. Capping this off was a fine manor for the Human Spirit herself, with a decently sized perimeter, set aside for a vineyard once Earis got around to figuring out winemaking. It was a low priority task, but good to plan ahead.

>MA+DI: Develop Index: Tugai - Tugai + Divine Intervention: Knowledge Domain
Thrilled to finally have an Index, Earis kept his fever going by hopping to perhaps the most logical extreme from Humanity, the ever predatory Tugai. Their thick hides and sharp teeth would make them excellent for the creation of war forms for his Archivists, should the need arise. His minions brought him suitable candidates, and with fervor he dissected and examined every inch of the creatures, before breaking them down into mist and binding them within a tome. The second Index could be placed upon The Archive's shelves only an epoch later, a pace Earis hoped to keep in the near future.

>MI: Trade Agriculture to Novakhet and Metallurgy to Americus
After a few alterations based on his knowledge of the southern climate Novakhet resided in, Earis will send off a few of his Archivists with the information about agriculture off to the death god. A trade Earis still found ironic, the undead cultivating plant life. But, he had learned that these domains they held were not absolutes, and they were by no means rigid things. Along those same lines, he'll send his knowledge of Metallurgy over to Americus. If there was a threat north, her humans would need metal weapons to handle it. They simply could not shift form like his Archivists could.

Ofu takes in as much of the enticing lie fueled power, letting out a satisfied sigh of pleasure. Now jumping in excitement of meeting a new person, Ofu skedaddles towards the origin of the pulse. After some time, Ofu meets the humanoid goddess with awe from the pure sense of life and liberty radiating around her. Ofu in a playful manner begins circling around Americus as he giggles to himself, taking in all of her features.

"Hello~~~~ name is OFU, O-F-U! Did you call for my attention, huh, huh?!
Are you looking for a new friend just like I am, do you want to play with me?!
Do you like my new home....I like to brag so look at my beautiful new home!"
Ofu shouts as he doesn't stop circling Americus

>[MA][DI] Claim [11,1/13,2/14,2/15,1/16,1]
The excited Ofu couldn't help himself from releasing his spores in excitement, the spores all collectively spreading to the northeast.

>[MA][DI] Create Unit
Ofu's white maidens, the Aema Fae are born. With their two layers of thin, almost translucent skin covering their whole body as it drapes from the bottom edge of their caps, the first layers is a shade of light pink while the other layer is a shade of white and full of holes. When the Aema Fae begins to hum a beautiful sound as she twists her body from side to side, the translucent layers begin to move creating a sort of mirage of a beautiful creature to whoever look directly at it thanks to the light rays shining through the layers of their translucent skin and their curvy figure. Once the Aema Fae begins her harmonious hum, spores under her cap begin to descend and spread around her approximate area, the scented spores is anything but harmless since it's covered with deadly toxins that gradually harm any living creature other than her own brethren.
"The foundations protectors, caretakers of Ofu's children. Gain our gentle wrath if you dare threaten."

Walking into the deserts, Furnlatha expected to find them... well, deserted; but not quite as deserted as all this. Where are the Svirgrindall here, she wonders; are they all beneath the sand? She cannot feel the divine presence she expected from this land, just... a certain emptiness. Heat, but nothing to ignite. And so, she turns back north again.

>[Minor]: Move: Furnlatha to 26,17

Here, in the jungles, the air is still warm but there is MUCH more around her! She reaches to touch a large tree's wilting leaf, delighting as it crisps then bursts into a brief pyre before falling to the floor as a rain of ashes. Most of this is... a little moist for her, if she's honest, but the potential is there.

>[MA][DI] Claim

Feeling the energies from above still temporarily boosting her powers, Furnlatha lays her claim to the lands of (28,16),(28,17),(28,18),(28,19) and (29,18)


>[MA] Develop: Build Village

With Firstflame overcrowded, many Pyrelings pack up and head to (28,22). Here, they build the village of Forgefall; to provide shelters for the Pyrelings who head into the mountains to train their craft in metalsmithing, and to provide a site on the borders for trade with the visiting Svirgrindall from the mountains and deserts around them.

His meeting with the blazing god Furnlatha concluded, Grindall journeys North, pursuing a strange force that is drawing him North.
>Move God Unit to 25, 17


Sensing an intrusion by some strange foreign power upon the deserts and mountains of his people as he travels, Grindall sends forth a portion of his energy, purging that which he senses drawing too close to his people
>[MA] [DI] Claim 20 19, 21 18, 22 18

At home, the Svirgrindall had encountered an unexpected problem. Though they have begun to raise the Biseax as their leader taught them, and benefited a great deal from the meat, milk and wool in the frigid climate, they'd had difficulty fending off the predators and scavengers that would strike at the massive herds. Finally, one frustrated herder comes upon a solution. Though tossing sharpened wooden stakes had worked to a degree, they had quickly simply slipped out of the wounds they inflicted, and the predators had made off with their bleating, thrashing prizes. So, taking from the techniques to shape metal that had been taught to them by the god of the forge, the herder fashioned a cruel, barbed head from the metal, which he affixed to the end of the thinly carved wooden pole. Waiting with baited breath behind a rock, he observed his herd, until finally a large shadow fell over them. Bleating in panic, the herd clustered together, but their effort was fruitless as one of the massive aerial predators descended from on high, seizing one of the terrified herbivores in it's grip and preparing to take off. Just as it began to beat massive wings, however, the herder rose from behind the rock, and with a yell of exertion and anger hurled his new weapon. It sank into the colossal bird's side, and as it took off, shrieking in pain, he saw that it remained fixed into the predator's side. Now, to wait. As he watched the winged terror fly off, it's prize forgotten, it slowly began to dip in the air, and though it desperately beat it's wings to remain aloft, it eventually crashed into a nearby cliff, the damage inflicted by the barbed head taking it's toll with every movement made. Success!
>[MA] Develop Metal Throwing Javelins!

As promised, a caravan of Svirgrindall arrive from the deserts, riding atop great sand sleds pulled by teams of powerful Valbats. On the carts alongside them rode smaller, docile Valbats, ready to be bonded with their new owners, and experienced Valbat trainers, ready to educate their new owners in the finer arts of controlling the graceful flyers of the desert.

Americus looks at the tiny god mutely for a moment, before a grand and happy smile breaks upon her face. She had worried greatly about what kind of god she would meet here but seeing the vibrate and joyful exuberance of Ofu, she can see that it was an unfounded fear. Laughing mirthfully as she taps into her godly power to adjust her size down to a level to speak eye to eye with this godling. Finishing she says “Well meet Ofu, I am Americus, Goddess of Life, Freedom, and Fertility and I would be happy to call you friend. Though It seems that our domain influences affect the lands under our control differently. I am not sure my children could safely live in such places. But I am sure we can work out an agreement that we can both be happy with” Americus smiles and using her power makes a map appears that details a proposal for boarders between herself and little Ofu. She then adds “do you have anything else you would like to add?”

The Ship will show pity to the ones who have lost their vessel. Those who were once Passengers of another one of his kind, another travel god. The Ship claims the island the turtles have called home, as well as some various coastlines for them to sail between. With one connected to the valley located farther inland.

The ship also offers to bring some over to what it can assume was their god. Left stranded along the eastern coasts. There is not much it can do for the fallen god, but perhaps there is something he could do for it. And perhaps both gods of travel can travel together once more.

This rattles the bones to no end.

MA, [Scarce Thaum Crystal, Biseax Wool, Salt, Clay Mistnettle] Develop: Chartam Bandaging.

It is common for those in their Chartam phase of undeath; that is the point where flesh begins to regrow on their bones; to cover themselves with wrappings or heavy cloths to avoid frightening or disgusting their fellows with their ghoulish visages or chemical smells, but the smell of reverse decay lingers still.
With the incredibly high portion of the population the chartam make up, this is itself a barrier to more tightly knit communities, many avoiding the Chartam due to their circumstance, though most have or will go through this stage themselves.
Measures are put in place by the current leaders of the gathered groups to come up with a proper and permanent solution to this issue, one universal to all the undead even those with odd biology at Black Pillar, a unique form of bandaging being their favoured solution.

Preserving salts, rubbed in with other minerals atop a guiding structure of clay, then wrapped around with bandages of wool and plant fibre across an entire body to form a durable seal to keep out of sight and smell.
The solution is a wondrous success, successful at forming a perfect seal able to weather even the superhuman physical activities of a Dagekhet in sunlight, the Chartam now living close by the Osseous and True members of their kind without issues.

A final addition is made following this, the granting of all those who enter Chartam a sliver of Thaum crystal, an entrancing gem of life that undead Dagekhet find themselves drawn to, embedded in the chest.

Said to quell the more negative effects of Chartam, or to grant good luck, or perhaps even to create bonds between people through its attractive latent life energies, for whatever reason it was the final ingredient in the process of bandaging the Chartam Dagekhet, what would become a cornerstone of this burgeoning civilisation.

Tech Sharing: Metallurgy to Asmodel, Cultural Ritual to Dagekhet

The Dagekhet are inspired by the strange practices of the gorgons, many among their kind were gorgons themselves in a previous life of course and some still practiced, but it was hardly a phenomena that completely encompassed the undead peoples.

Naturally the ways of the gorgons are adopted, and soon adapted, changing as they spread, instead of rituals at night they instead happen during midday of the new moon, raised five sided platforms being assembled to perform the rites on, it being decided 5 is the number of Novakhet, and the hierarchy changing in order of what stage of life one finds themselves in, their first life, osseous undeath, their Chartam stage or a True Dagekhet.

Qazlal stares down into the chasm as he listens to the voice's explanation of his next task. "If you expect hearts of me, you know well that we're both in for a great deal of reform. The people of this land won't like your plans, and your mouthpiece has not but misgivings for your existence!"

>>4444722
"I wouldn't have taken you as one for humor, Daemon... You and I are in a similar position, you see. Do you think I marvel at the sight of all daemon-kind? The very breed that sought my destruction? Our mutual animosity is not all we share, Daemon, for in the same moment betrayal crossed the mind of your sister, as did the same thought enter the collective that was the original Bloodletting. I know what you feel, for it is that pain which we share. Once the Gods here realize you are any different than themselves, do you think they won't slaughter you the same they would slaughter me? Power is what we must seek, not as a beastly lust that must be fulfilled, but rather as our only hope for survival... You know this."

>>4444759
><COMMUNICATE: DAEMON> ???
"Indeed power is something crucial to survival for either of us, but if we were to throw scores of living, still-beating hearts into this chasm, fettered or unfettered from their hosts, do you not think that the dying prayers that would come from that would fall on deaf ears?"

>>4444803
"Yes, 'tis a crucial flaw. Perhaps the Gods of this realm were not so generous after all... The creation of The Bloodletting would not have been necessary if the frames of mortal thralls were not so feeble. Even in your rebirth, the introduction of my form to your divine anatomy took great vigor to endure. The previous solution was the creation of The Prodigy Bones. Recreating them would be no easy task, equally costly in the lives of several divine sparks... Perhaps this thirst may not be one we quench immediately, else we perish to our hubris. Power shall be extrapolated through the same means as your new 'kin.' It is likely we will not survive without allies, nor without the empowerment of your thralls."

With a loud tone "Bring back the big pretty goddess! Becoming smaller than bigger is an insult, you want to grow grow!" Ofu waving his arms all around tying to make a point.

After a few minutes of ranting about why growing is the way to go, Ofu calms down then just blankly stares at Americus while not making any movement for a couple minutes.
Ofu snaps back and gives Americus a warm smile.
"I don't like boarders, but for a friend I will if my friend promises me to not hurt little Ofu and to let my children play in your land as I would let your children play in my home. I will throw a gift too if you give me a gift too!"Ofu jumps in glee.

Ofu then shuts his eyes
"I make a pact to you as you do to me

The monks of Sanctum Obelisk have pondered a while around the wetlands obelisk and come to ask Chom and Chod about its nature.

The situation was dire. A giant crab filled divine power and rage was rampaging in the south jungles. The crabs were claiming it was their old god and that it was encouraging the others crabs to fight!

It was still a bit too soon to call upon the Bloom but the gardeners were now well established and flourishing, plus the snakes in the north were also carrying the Gift. It would have to be enough.

Hurrying back to the town, the First immediately began a ritual to call upon the attention of the Bloom. Myxoma was the center of the world, the beating heart of the gardeners, of the First, of the Bloom. Here it was possible to reach beyond, to reach to every bud, no matter how far or isolated. And so the First called, tried to pull and draw his god to the world, tried to will it to be. It was, of course, a doomed effort, for the Bloom, despite all it's wishes, was not. It's strength insufficient to even be.

Such is the nature of miracles, however, they tend to occur in the most desperate times. The relentless First refused to stop it's call, the gardeners in town having all joined their voice to his, and finally a pulse could be felt. Slow at first but more affirmed with each beat. it spread to every bloomed ones, the gardeners, the crabs, the tugais and rexus, the spiders, even the plants and the few bloomed snakes up north.

A mutual understanding began to take place, not only between all of the bloomed ones but on a more fundamental level. Their very flesh could recognize each other, assemble and thrive. they could be detached and reattached to other,e very manner of graft possible and accepted.

The Gifthad become stronger.

Another epoch, another similar sight, that of Qazlal doing something strange and then rocketing away faster than could be believed.

This time he’d claimed a substantial portion of land that just wasn’t his, the skeleton god guesses as some sort of protest against not bowing to the moths demands immediately.

No matter, I will set things right, that is my duty.

Wild light flares down upon the three hexes from the twin suns as the skeleton god watches on with contentment, rays of radiance piercing the bloody rusty clouds of Qazlal and wiping them clean away from the area, leaving them present on only a northern mountain.

In absence of his shadow, Novakhets rule is installed to his rightful land, but above in the daytime sky a ten starred constellation of silvered stars refuses to yet take proper shape. Uncertain omens from the limitless heavens above.

MA Bandaging (Replaces Irrigation) + Husbandry: Develop Black Pillar into their first Town.

With animal herding now common place and the social stigma of the Chartam resolved, time can be found to upgrade black pillar beyond its contemporaries.

Mildly overcrowded, the expansion designs include stones etched or painted with public laws and the names of barterers or important people, central meeting points for the still primitive government to gather, and services for the large herds of various creatures, Tugai, Biseax, Sirvee.

Tugai domestication has come far in the recent epochs, the dog-like reptiles being bred into two distinct breeds, one larger and more muscular, found useful for moving equipment as beasts of burden, and one breed of more nimble, smaller but faster creatures, loyal if perhaps temperamental companions.

Tugai related deaths are thankfully reduced following their first few years grappling with their new masters, and are now a common sight throughout the land, though all still must be wise enough not to provoke one.

The first true ideologues are inspired by Vicsissitism, various interpretations of its first text springing up, their purpose to divine the meaning of life, or death, or maybe there wasn’t much difference. Informed by Novakhet of the true events leading to the creation of the afterlife (Often referred to by specific names such as the Umbraphagus, Necromid, or more lengthy titles such as The Path to the Mortal Star) philosophers had again chance to quarrel.
An author unknowable, perhaps Novakhet himself, or perhaps someone rather swayed by Americus reported ideals published the following poem during this period, describing the purpose of the star to defeat oblivion.

>Time is sight, that endless bright, so seeing is believing.
>But we’re running out of light and so our sight is surely bleeding.
>But up there in the heavens dwells a star beyond defeating.
>And Wild Light will end the night and shine upon us, meaning.

The dimly lit sky was darkening and shortly night would descend upon the land, which would reign for the majority of the day.

>[MA] [DI] Claim (20, 19), (21, 18), and (22, 18)

Beneath the dunes of the Mere, the Svirgrindall have struck upon another problem that faces their continued progress. Though they've at last begun to implement the agricultural methods taught to them by the children of the flame, the going has been, to put it mildly, rough. Though the sun shines bright and strong in the deserts of their home, the sand is merciless to such a soft plant as grain, and cultivating even small patches of it is a daily struggle. The plants, they can tell, require moisture, but moisture is a rare commodity indeed in such arid conditions. A steady water supply, of one sort or another, must be found.

That is when one member of the council of elders puts for an idea. Those Svirgrindall that have dug deep enough have found, to their confusion, that moisture seems to seep through the walls of their tunnels, as the sand grows wet and packed. Never in great enough quantities to use, however. What if, the elder proposes, they were to construct a truly massive cavern, as deep as they could dig? Then, perhaps, enough moisture might be gathered to nourish the plants above? It's a risky proposition, to be sure. Such an undertaking would require the continued effort of hundreds of Svirgrindall for weeks on end. But, for the chance to at least put full use to a valuable gift, such a risk might be worth shouldering. After much hemming and hawwing, the other elders agree to the proposal, and the labour force is put to work.

For days and nights the children of Grindall work tirelessly, hollowing out the gargantuan cavern and interspersing it with great pillars of stone, to ensure that it does not collapse on their heads and bring about the greatest tragedy in their people's history. At long last, the work is completed, and the cavern lies ready, it's walls already dripping with moisture and damp to the touch. All that's left....is to wait. For the first couple of days tension is high, as the Svirgrindall carefully observe the cavern, many praying to their journeying deity for success. At last, on the third day, just as hope was almost lost, one Svirgrindall notices that a pool of water has begun to collect at the very bottom of the basin. Success! Though it takes weeks to completely fill up, eventually, a great underground lake has grown into existence under the Meer, ready to supply the Svirgrindall with all the water they and their crops may need.

>[Minor]: Share Tech with Grindall: Literature

With the founding of the village of Forgefall, there is a place on the borders for the Svirgrindall to come and trade with the Pyrelings, and to talk and communicate and trade. And as the months pass, the Pyrelings teach the visiting Svirgrindall their system of writing to help ease contact and communications.

>>4449346
>[Minor] Share Irrigation with Furnlatha

>[Major] Develop: Firstflame into a Town
>Using: Irrigation, Husbandry, Masonry; Roseberry Wood and Whitestone

With Grindall's gift of channels to irrigate the earth, the Pyrelings of Firstflame are able to bring reliable water to their farm and to the heart of their community. The old, crude huts of Firstflame give way to new, more sophisticated dwellings of stone, and struts and beams of Roseberry wood, to give the place such a pleasant aroma when smoked by the flickering flames of the Pyrelings.
>[Major] [DI] Develop: Cultural Ritual: Eternal Pyres

Flames have always licked the landscape where the Pyrelings have roamed, for the natural flame of their bodies can set a joyful ember to let a blaze crackle through the wildgrowth. But though they can give their own flame, they start heaping up lumber and bracken, forming ceremonial pyres in offering, heaping up wood on which to burn Sirvees and Roseberry wood any any other offerings to the flames they might choose and think worthy. And fantastically, some of the foods offered to Furnlatha even taste better once seared!

Furlantha says her goodbyes to the close-by figure of Grindall for a second time, for she still feels the drawing of the concentration of divine energies. Heading north, she floats across the open seas to where the figure's presence emanates - and powerful it is, and large as well. And... metallic? She looks up in awe as she approaches, seeing rank upon rank of metallic plate floating above in the air; each one a masterpiece for any smith to have wrought, and the whole humming with energies.

"I greet you, great-wrought titan of the skies." Her voice whispers, with a hiss of coiling steam. "I am Furnlatha, of flame and forge... though in the latter, it looks as if my craft might have been surpassed. "What should I call you?"

As the work begins, the Ship begins to speak to its Passengers. It tells them of the many places it has been to, and the many things it has already seen in this short period of life and sapience. These new Passengers, the turtlefolk, were long of memory and long of life. They would be perfect for informing, instructing, and educating future Passengers and keeping the world's cultural practices alive. As well as enforce the ship's own.

First of which, being the Processing of the Dead. The Ship would tell the tale of the creation of the Universal Afterlife, its role and its presence as the far off gods, Earis, Americus, and Novakhat had made a place for all souls to rest. Those three gods cared about the mortals in the next life, while UNNIIC expressed its interests in caring for the Passengers in this current, material world. As such, it taught them the importance of sending off the souls of the dead. Sending the dead on their journey to the other world, and then the proper use of the remains in this one. With the soul gone the remains of a body should have no personal or emotional ties, and as such, the processing of the dead for material and use in this one should be seen not as defilement, but as a final gift from the dearly departed to help those still alive. In the case of Tortoise-Terra, UNNIIC would personally shepherd and journey with the spirit of their god, to enable him to see the wider world as a fellow god of travel.

And to showcase this mentality, the Ship began to fuse the corpse of the fallen god with its own vessel. Great panels of bone from its shell are hoisted up, and become coated in the same divine metal that composes the UNNIIC, before being reassembled onto the underside and sides of the flying fortress. Vessels become pipes, muscles become actuators and fibers, Nerves become cabling. The head of the dead god is coated in a brilliant shade of corroded oltar metal, forming a tealish green resembling its descriptions in life from the oldest of the turtlefolk. It is installed on a building at the front of the vessel, overlooking the lands and destinations before it, as both a landmark in the quickly growing settlement and as an additional set of sensors for the Ship and the Astronomicon Bridge. The retrofit, along with the knowledge of breeding aquatic life and hatcheries within the underside of the vessel, is perfect for the formation and expansion of the Ship into the status of a "town".

As the hull of the vessel is undergoing retrofit, the stationary ship would shine its spotlights on the brilliant flame of its newest visitor. "Greetings, designation Furnlatha. This vessel's designation is UNNIIC, a ship of the Beruka Class. Your complements are appreciated, but as it stands this is vessel is merely a crude stack of retrofits upon retrofits. The exact materials and knowledge of constructing a Flying Fortress has been lost to me. I am sure your capabilities far exceed my own in that regard."
"Do you have any particular needs at this moment? Do you require passage to another destination, or seek an exchange of sorts? Would you like to apply some of your passengers for permanent Passage in my care? Or are you simply here to pay respects to one of the fallen divine signatures?"

>Interact: UNNIIC

The gleam of the spotlights is bright and brilliant, and Furnlatha looks upward to the source. This close, she can now feel the colossal divine presence as two, with a second from a massive mound of shell, far fainter, and starting to filter upward in pieces as UNNIIC works away. Even to feel it, Furnlatha finds herself knowing that the second form below UNNIIC had long passed away before the machine-god's arrival.

"Then I greet you in turn, Unniic Beruka." Furnlatha raises a hand upward, glowing with a whisp of flame dancing from around her fingertips. "It is such a shame to hear you have lost so much... it seems a travesty to have such craftsmanship forgotten." she would try to place a hand carefully on the hull of the fortress-god, if it would be allowed, to feel for anything she can discern of the composition. "Though, even a retrofit can be wrought well, I'm certain." she looks into the spotlight. "Perhaps I could teach you and yours some of my secrets as well, they might prove useful if you would seek to further adjust and amend your metalwork?" she asks, with small smile, her head of flames flickering.

She then looks down. "A fallen divine, though... I think I felt this one before, distantly." she breathes, the air shimmering as a haze. "It was alive, then; but that was long ago; and it wandered further before I could think to go out and look for where it stood. Do you know what fate befell it, aside from an unwelcome mortality?"

The salvaging operation did not cease, nor was an attempt made to stop her, as the Flame Goddess placed its hand upon the vessel. Spotlights whirring and adjusting to, unnecessarily, illuminate the subject of the Ship's attention. "The loss of this one's ability and knowledge is of small matter, when compared to the lost of my original Passengers. But as all things, continuation of operation and growth from where we originated must continue. -Life must go on-. New Passengers have been required, and steadily knowledge is rebuilt and retained."

The Ship studied the expression of the goddess. While numerous readings of facial expressions of different races had been documented, it seemed that those of humanoid physiology seemed to have a unique unity in the smile representing happiness and cooperation. Compared to the more bestial races where such expressions often indicated hostility. This would require future consideration, as the Ship currently lacked the capacity to provide a reassuring smile for means of communication. For now, it would have to make due with words alone, "The gifts of one knowledgeable in the ways of metalworking would be of monumental use. If you were to bestow this knowledge it would be greatly appreciated by both this Vessel, the Servitors, and the Passengers.

"The divine signature of designation: Tortoise-Terra was also recorded by this Vessel. It's expiration was also felt from far away, while this ship was conferring with other gods from the north west. The exact fate it suffered from is unknown. From what has been uncovered by the eldest of the Turtle folk, it seemed the divine was suffering from multiple conditions of the mind, eventually causing him to wander off, beyond their reach and their sight. Such an expiration is of great loss to our whole. A tragedy."

>>4450168

"There are other gods to the north west? In my travels I had only met with one of my kind, the being Grindall, lord of the ground. He was not far at the south of the era, his own travels called him to the south and west."

"The Turtlefolk? I have not met any... they still live, past the demise of their deity? A thing to ponder, then... would my Pyrelings endure, if my own existence were to be bought to a conclusion?" her face flickers with uncertainty, the blaze about her head growing lower. "Though some of my Pyrelings on the northern shore have shared to me distant vision of such from the edge of the coast, when the days fall clear. Do they ply the waters? My Pyrelings do not like the damp, but should they come to talk and trade, we shall try to bid them welcome.

"I will teach you greater metalworks, gladly, if it would better help you, your crew and passengers keep aloft." The developing flame lifts her hand away from the metallic surface of the sky fortress. "After what I have seen today, I now know that even beings of our caliber might end, even without malice bought upon us. Entropy reaches out, and even the burning fires of divinity flicker and extinguish. It makes me curious to know that even we may someday end. It makes me wonder what brings us here, what binds us into what we are, or were. How long we might have been that we have ourselves forgotten, or how fresh we might be yet still unknowing of the forces that ignited us. I wonder; on your travels across this world, have you come across any clues that might lead to what lies behind us all?"

The Dukhali of the Sanguine Keep worry over their lack of space. They cannot expand their territory, for they would not be able to manage a larger town. One night, however, a villager's prayers are answered when the Bleeding Father, in a dream, teaches him how to manually route water to where it is needed, providing a much-needed solution to their managability plight! This art is quickly taught to others, and soon plans are made to build a new wall around Qazlal's original designs!

The Ship would listen intently to the rest of Furnlatha's pondering, recording and considering them. Adding them to the slowly but surely growing list of writings from it and the Astronomicon Bridge's own musings. "Today has confirmed that the termination divine signatures is indeed a possible outcome. This does not bode well for initial interpretations of this world being different from this vessel's origin, as it would also imply that this world may also end."

"Though this ship cannot fathom the greater scopes of how we have come to acquire these divine sparks, or the origins of this world, all will be done to preserve the Passengers and the knowledge acquired on our voyage. Perhaps in time, either my travels or the discoveries of another god might uncover further insight into this query. If such an event occurs, this vessel will do all in its power to deliver the news to you as well. This talk has been most enlightening, you have thanks, Designation Furnlatha. If you desire more debate or information, this vessel has found that the turtlefolk seem quite adept at storing and repeating these lessons they have learned from this one and others. If you'd accept it, it would be a small gift to repay the help you have in turn provided."

"Do not be concerned about pleasantries. We have borne fruitful cooperation in the past, and hopefully will continue that trend in the future as well. The material in question is a substance I've intuited as 'Polsarium'. It is the primary substance that composed the comet that crossed the skies the last two epochs."

"The process of further elaboration of its properties is likely pointless, as the Indexation process would likely provide far greater clarity in far shorter time. As far as what would be request in return, in exchange for this sample to index, if you ever develop a process to materialize archived materials in the future, a small but steady supply of Polsarium would be highly beneficial to the both of us."

"In addition, with the acquisition of the Turtlefolk Passengers, I have come across the knowledge of literature in the form of written word, rather than the carved runes originating from Designation Novakhet. In a similar vein to the way the archivists are produced. With the technology of establishing a hatchery and a sample population of Pallipods to build your own, a steady stream of ink could be acquired for your own machinations. This would of course desire a similarly valuable offer in exchange."

The being will tap it's masked chin, glancing up into the sky where the trail of the comet could still be faintly made out. "Simply fascinating, it proved a powerful focus for transreal arts, but forgive the obvious, you must have felt its power as well to have gone through the trouble to collect samples. I thank you for the boon of this and the method by which to produce ink, it was a glaring problem that was beginning to vex me. I fear that my efforts of late have gone more to Indexing than technological advancement, no small part in thanks to your prior donations. Though, as Novakhet would attest to, I always plan to honor such gifts in return when it becomes possible to do so. Proliferation of technology among our peoples will only lead to incredible things in the future, in my mind. Nonetheless, you will have your supply of Polsarium once I am in a position to synthesize it, I look forward to what you plan to do with it. And should you have need of something before I even out the debt between us, do not hesitate to ask."

>Move Unit [Earis]: (19, 9)
Earis, upon receiving the message from UNNIC, immediately gathered all the tools he would need for indexing and traveled posthaste to join the deity.

>MA+DI: Develop Index: Polsarium using the Polsarium samples provided by UNNIIC and Domain:Knowledge
Earis rushed to index the samples that UNNIIC had given him. He had simply written off the comet as a meteorological event that he could pay greater attention and study to when it came around again. He was, functionally anyway, immortal and could therefore simply wait as many epochs as it took to return. But that a sample of the divine material had indeed been gathered! Such brilliant luck. There were, thankfully, less ethical constraints to indexing a material, no trifling matters of soul or life to be argued over even after the UAL had been created. It was just Earis and some simply fascinating anomalous material, and he couldn't be happier. Well, perhaps he could when Americus returned from her trip and he could share the news that such a potent substance had been obtained. He did hope she was alright, though he presumed he would have felt a disturbance were this not the case.

>MA: Develop Literature using Bookmaking + Pallipods
This, while a curious development at first glance, was a move that made perfect sense given the nature of the Archivists' task. A not insignificant problem that the process of building the Archive had found was that the Archivists, while arguably superior to books when it came to documenting the nature of the material, were entirely useless in regards to documenting the cultural, the spiritual, and the theoretical. Therefore, a portion of the bookmaking facilities were dedicated towards producing books to be filled with actual ink, thanks to UNNIIC's generous donation, and provide a framework to allow for simpler knowledge to be preserved without dedicating an Archivist's existence to do so.

>>4452404 - Accept Trade of Husbandry and Irrigation for Carpentry, but add Domesticate II for Falerine (Developed below)
The Vree are eager to learn from the Buffnuggets, the skills they had learned previously being immensely useful. With an abundance of ice around them, and alongside the Masonry skill they learned earlier, melt-water from the Tundra is channeled down to more fertile soils down south. There, Vree take up the simple life of farmers, harvesting what plants they can, and letting the Buffnuggets teach them about the Dazawks and the Bees. Animal husbandry, you pervert.

>>4448636
>Develop Welkomplaats from Village to Town (Husbandry + Irrigation from Thomass)
With more and more Vree popping up everywhere, it was was only natural that their homes would expand. The far more comfortable village of Welkomplaats made for an excellent area to expand upon than the grim and frozen Gevang'nis.

>Domesticate II on Falerine (If I pump DI into this, can I get Animal Riding as well?)
Regala gazed upon the majestic creatures, their antlers reflecting the multicolored lights that marked the trees of her realm. These strange new creatures called to her, a spark of her divine power reflected in their glimmering eyes. Over time, she and the Vrees would draw them closer to Vree camps, integrating them into Vree lifestyles as beasts of burden. While the Woradine served a similiar purpose, the Falerine would never serve as food like the massive creatures did, as Regala felt the Falerine had a higher calling...

>God Unit Move to 27,10 (+1 extra move from Tree Lights)
With the Falerine tamed, Regala moved to the metallic wasteland that bordered her new domain. The sound of creaking metal, the smell of rust and the eternal mist, all were strange and alien to her. She wasn't sure if she liked this realm being so close to hers...

>Vluchs Unit move from 28,7 to 29,0

With most the the Meer's preeminent issues and concerns addressed, and life in the harsh deserts finally secured, one final issue becomes apparent to all who life their: The place if getting more then a little crowded.

>[Major] Develop: Found Farfjord on 28,16

As the most northerly point of Furnlatha's domains, lying directly to the south of Shellter, the Pyrelings see need for a northern town, through which trade from the Turtlefolk (and perhaps, they whisper, someday from places and creatures further across the seas!) might flow. Thus, on an inlet that stretches into the protrusion of land, they found the town of Farfjord to act as their northernmost outpost.
>[Major] Develop: Woollen Garments
>Using: Husbandry, Weaving, Oltanite Tools and Biseax Wool
Using fleece shorn from their domesticated Biseax, the Pyrelings start learning how to weave the wool back together into complex (and sometimes even intricate!) woollen articles of clothing. The material is naturally flame resistant, which means that a Pyreling probably won't burn up his or her clothing unless they really intend to; and wearing articles woven from it a common Pyreling might grant itself a little level of basic protection against the dangers and the other elements of the world.
>[Minor][DI]: Interact with Tortoiseterra: Ignite a Tortoise Pyre
With UNNIIC departed, Furnlatha is left alone with the remnants of the corpse of the fallen Tortoise god. For a while, she stares at it, wondering how the thing can be - are the remnants of this fallen deity now fully mortal, or does some spark of the divine linger still within the massive carcass, clinging to fragments of shell and skin? But around this land, the woods are ample; so in one final act before she departs, Furnlatha sets up a Pyre for the fragments of the fallen deity. And with a brush of her divine flame, she ignites it; to burn away the lingering remnants of the fallen divinity and cleanse from the land a reminder that even gods might die, to let crackling flame absorb and consume the withered scraps of shell and skin until nothing is left of the god-remnants but fertile ashes.
>[Minor] Move: Furnlatha to 28,16
And then, once the remants of the corpse are consumed by flame, she wanders back the way she came; passing across both land and sea until she returns to the edge of her domains, and sees the new buildings rising in Farfjord.


>[Minor] Communicate: Akraties

The Pyrelings living in the northern jungles start to hear the sounds of strangers, and then the sounds of construction. A lone hunter with his Firefox companions goes to investigate the new neighbors, holding aloft his hand and letting a stream of flame whisper skyward to announce himself as he approaches toward Second Home.

Should any Akrites come out to meet them, or meet him as he arrives at the edge of their town, he would greet them by lowering his hand and extinguishing his flame. "Hello. I see you construct, so I think you think?" he states the question. "I am Fintan; a Pyreling, servant of the great flame. Who... and what... might you be?"

Regala perched on the edge of a leaf, weightless and surrounded by a flurry of snow. Here gaze tried to pierce the mists, but the morning's fog blocked any hope of catching a glimpse of the shore across the strait. She suspected that even on a clearer day, her more mortal-esque senses would not divulge what she needed.
No, instead she relied on her Divine senses, supplemented with word of mouth from her Vrees. Strange tidings of a metal land to the south, bordering her newly claimed forests. She had heard tales of such a land from the far-exploring Vluchs as they returned home, and of their God, a great iron chariot of the sky.

She could sense it now, speeding its way towards her neighbour, the one she had yet to visit.

Well, there was a time and place for everything. She would see if this iron God could match her own speed, and let the winds carry her towards the borders of the BuffNugget's home. Even as the little mounds of muscles scampered up behind her, she turned to face the growing shadow that was the UNNIIC unit looming overhead.

She had never seen such a thing, and on instinct drew her blade. Paltry she may be before this great iron Roc, she was a Goddess, and would stand her grou-
No.

No, no. The war was over. She didn't need to- She was safe. No one would harm her here. Sheathing her blade (was that a slight tremble in her grasp?), she simply stood, waiting until the metal ship reacted in some way, for she sensed that even as her divine senses were overwhelmed with the calculations of flight, of carrying capacity and passenger maintenance, and strange and alien words; "Artificial Intelligence" "Beruka-class" "Servitors"... she knew it sensed her too.

The Crab Mob moves to meet their brothers at Stone-Claw, making threatening gestures with their weapons at the chimera and altered-crabs as they pass.
>Minor Action: Crab Mob moves to Stone-Claw

Tantalus, meanwhile, is torn. Part of him is outraged beyond words at what has been done to the forms of the taken crabs, yet the fact that they still act as crabs do has him staying his claw. Keeping one eye on the taken, he begins settling in for the long haul. The Flesh-Beasts will show their true colors before long, and he *will* be ready. Not far from Stone-Claw, stone and clay and dirt are assembled into a great mound, many claws making work light as an artificial hill takes shape. Atop this hill, yet more clay and stone is piled, forming first a mound, then a ring, then a wall... And finally, a tower.
>Major Action: Build Fortress at 16:22

Meanwhile, as the crabs explore the newly claimed jungles, some begin marking their paths, leaving behind symbols either carved into wood, or written upon stone in the juices of plants or animals.

Also, seeing as I didn't use Devine Influence this turn, I'm going to say that it was used to make the fort better. How, you ask? Well, first and foremost it's built along the shoreline, West and a bit North of Stone-Claw. Second, it is built with the tides in mind, such that the area around it will flood at high tide, in addition to just being a pain in the ass to move through unless you are equally at home on land or in the water. Lastly, it is blessed to not have to worry about Erosion, which probably would never have become a factor in game but I'm guarding against it anyway.

The presence of foreign blood and psychic energies flow through The Twins like colliding wells of power that culminate in something more than the sum of their divine sparks. They are beginning to glint beyond the veil of mortal understanding and believe themselves to be on the cusp of something more. Just a bit more psychic presence and they'll start looking into the deeper mysteries of The Earth Blood and The Stars.

-Divine Major: The Psychic Peek. The Divinities of The World bask in the benefits of abundant trade between partners, yet they cast no eye to the isles of the southern most lands. The Twins create The Psychic Peek. The Peek is a pool in the swamps of [21,28] in which is linked to The Psychic Well of The Node Stones. While one gazes into the pool, they see the actions of gods, and peek upon their transfer of developments and divine acts. Using this, Chom and Chod begin to steal techs at the moment of their trade by watching these transactions occur.
-Major: The House Boat. As The Swamplanders are left to heir own devices, they've grown far more reliant on the gifts of The Wetlands and the bounty both the shallows and the shoreline provide. In this, some families begin to form homes upon their rafts and live in float by a bountiful body of water for a time, only to press on to the next in times of scarcity. In this, The Whole Chod Chain becomes at least somewhat inhabited.

As the vessel bid Earis and his archivists farewell, and let them resume their indexing duties, it began to journey northward once more. After spending sizable time in the middling regions of the continent, it was time to check in on the north once more. To see if any progress had been made by the other two gods it had sensed several epochs ago, before it had been diverted by the concentrations of gods that had eventually culminated in the formation of the Universal Afterlife.

Crossing over grasslands and mountain valleys, it began to detect the divine signature of the two gods from before. Designations white and cyan. It would seem they have come to similar arrangements as Americus and Earis, or Furnlatha and Grindall. Mutual cooperation, or at least, toleration of one another.

As it approached, the Astronomicon Bridge pinged the vessel of an incoming figure, leaping over tree tops and sending a flurry of snow in her wake. Aligning in space with the divine signature Cyan. The vessel could see her as it approached. She stood atop a peak of stone with a curious object in hand, moments later identified as a blade. Though unlikely to pierce the hull of the vessel in any major fashion, it was a minor comfort to see the blade returned to its scabbard after a moments contemplation on its wielder's part. Coming just short of the mountain side, with spotlights igniting and sending down light to show its full attention, the vessel spoke: "Greetings, divine entity. This units designation is UNNIIC, a Beruka-class Flying Fortress. Though I was expecting to see the one holding dominion of this land first, it is an honor to meet you. Do you require transport, or your people passage?"

Ofu delighted with his first divine agreement conjured in this realm he suddenly throws his little arms up in the air following with a loud "woohoo!". After everything was said and done, Ofu was curious where Americus was heading so he decided to follow him. As he makes his way towards Americus, Ofu begins to feel a different divine aura similar to one of knowledge. A small drool is produced on the side of Ofu's mouth as the knowledgeable settlement begins to come to view. Ofu now thinks this is some sort of generous gift from the beautiful Americus, a very delicious gift for Ofu indeed. Without hesitation Ofu begins to dig it as he begins to shake in excitement and his divine spores spread around the land. Mushrooms big and small burst out of the ground with roots coming out of the ground twisting surrounding the biome around it. Ofu's pool of drool is beginning to set around him as he patiently waits as he stares at the settlement with hunger.

>[MA][DI] Develop: Mushroom Unit Deployment (MUD)
A rare occurrence, the calling of Ofu is received by many older purecaps, the message of unity. The many purecaps gather up near the village and just hug. Over time they all begin to slip into unconsciousness as they merge together and grow. A beautiful giant mushroom is born, with the under cap changing between purple, green, and blue. The main and only function of MUD is a deployment of newly created units/troops that go through the process of begin born then enclosed in a shell that is hard on the outside while soft in the inside. With MUD having a divine connection between it and the terraformed land, it can deploy any troop by shooting it from the stem to the tip of the mushroom cap at any occupied land.

The unfortunate need for security realized after an attack had already been made, a significant number of Archivists will absorb the knowledge of Index: Tugai to serve as a stop gap defensive measure. There was a reason Earis had chosen the large predator for his first true Index. They would do for now, dealing with glorified fauna like these mushrooms and any other threats in future.

This Lasts mear moments before, she is rocketing back toward the archive, mind ablaze 'how could this have happened, why would Ofu do this, how could she have allowed this to happen!' despite her best efforts she feels as more fall in Ofu's path with every death, the knife in her heart twists ever deeper. every second she is delayed is another fresh hell as she can't do anything but urge her own body to move faster. as she finally begins to draw close to Ofu her horror only deepens the broken shells of archiveist litter the ground, ruined stucture blocks the way as panic and fear run rampent below and she stares into this maw of maddess, a small voice whispers into her ear 'it's all your fault, your a niave trusting fool' Ignoring the dark thoughts and pushing the scene below from her mind she pushes forward her heart broken, trust shattered, and resolve unwavering. When she finally reaches Ofu, she sees that Earis has already arrived. moving to stand with him she looks to Ofu, He eyes Betray nothing, her face a mask of calm, and speaks "Ofu, this is my Ally, my oldest most trusted ally, Earis, you will stop this attack now, and restore what you have taken. Then you will return north, and await for my return there. If you fail to do this, or if you continue this attack I will consider our "treaty" nullifed and breached" As she finishes speaking the flame in her torch which is usually mirthful with dances flames that speak of joy and laughter. Seems to have dimmed and darkened, into something cold, something that seems dangerously close to boarding on hateful.

Regala nearly drew her blade again when the spotlights blinded her, raising a gauntlet-clad hand to shade her cyan eyes.
>"Greetings, divine entity. This units designation is UNNIIC, a Beruka-class Flying Fortress. Though I was expecting to see the one holding dominion of this land first, it is an honor to meet you. Do you require transport, or your people passage?"

Regala was, to be frank, a little stunned. A surprisingly polite, if a little forthright, entity seemed to commandeer this vessel? It's words made it seem alien in a way she couldn't place, and she couldn't get a read on the speaker either, not when she could not see them, but a sense of... well, not hostility, to be certain, could be sensed. A comfort in these strange times. Regardless, she found it's frankness refreshing, to be honest, remembering the endless rituals and niceties her ex-Pantheon had demanded whenever any two divinities deigned to speak to one another. She was a joyful goddess, but also a martial one, and such rituals had grated on both of these facets.

"Greetings to you as well, Divine Entity. Your steed is magnificent, it's light... radiant." Regala had to take a step back, the spotlights being far too bright for her. She was dismayed to find they tracked her rather quickly, however. Amidst the pool of radiance, Regala had to rely on her godly senses, telling her more of the BuffNuggets were congregating, along with the occasional Vree, who were still spending time with their neighbors to exchange information.

"I am Regala, the GiftMother, Guide to the Vrees and all who would welcome us. I bid you welcome to our lands, or rather, the lands of our muscular brethren. I am sure his divine presence will be here shortly. Perhaps you would care to leave your vessel and join us down here when he does?"
She paused a moment, the familiar snort of a Falerine catching her attention. At the back of the crowd, a Vree tried to calm a pair of the large beasts, but they seemed to sense each other's distress and unfortunately fed into each other.

"While I do not need Transport myself, my people, the kindly Vrees, do. Are you offering a method of transport, in exchange for somethi-?

The beasts were growing more frantic, and with a cry of panic, broke free. A single mighty leap clear over the crowd brought them to the one spot of comfort they could find, Regala's side. There, they snorted and stamped, eyes watchful under the blazing spotlight, keen for danger.

"Ah, well. You see, I have domesticated these noble beasts, in aims of a noble journey, but their boundless spirit and limitless energy seems constrained to too mortal a frame. I was planning to ally with the Divinity who calls this land home in an attempt to give them the means to unleash that force on their travels. Perhaps you would care to join us?

Unit Action: Move to 16, 7
Novakhet notices the odd commotion around the Archive and resolves to visit, he had always intended to take a look at the settlements of his fellow deities regardless.

Regardless, if Qazlal insisted in flying off then he would have to come to me when he wanted something, no more chasing him down aimlessly.

MA + DI + Universal Afterlife + Sun + Death: Stellar Evolution Rank 1/10 (Swirling Cloud)

(Expected result: Begin the creation of a massive energy source fuelled by the deceased souls of every mortal that dies, filtered through the universal afterlife and entering the star only once content to pass on. This energy may then be accessed by the gods of the Conclave)

Addendum: Conclave rules, in case it comes up.
All gods involved in the creation of the Realm of Souls will be able to enter and exit the realm of the star, however Nova holds the power to restrict Americus and Earis from accessing it’s power directly, and both Americus and Earis if they vote together may stop Nova accessing its power.


Those who have completed their journey through life exit it through the and the will of Novakhet terminates them immediately as they flit through that final gate and into the realm of The Star.

Their life concluded, they become energy, pure and calm, but until now have remained still. Motes of soular dust, merely floating, for the star was not yet lit.

That sad state of affairs would end now however, for the great radiance of the Sun God sets into motion the drawing closer of these motes of dust.
Swirling into one central point, accretion accelerates as a vortex of dust forms.

The humble beginnings of the Sun of the Dead, The Mortal Star, an energy source of unprecedented scale and unlimited potential to aid him and his allies in making their wild dreams into reality, and perhaps shine light on all of creation one day.

MA Develop:
Animal Riding (Tugai)
Domesticated enough, the Dagekhet slowly begin making attempts to ride these great reptilian beasts to wherever they wish to go, making saddles of leather and scale.

>MA+DA - Falerine boosted with Festivity Domain, aiding Thomass and UNNIIC in making them speedy flyers.
As Regala, Thomass and UNNIIC bent their divine wills on the Falerine, the mortals around them would see the noble creatures bathed in shimmering light. What would be the result!? Regala could barely wait.

>MA - Develop Tanning/Leatherworking
Several Vree begin to concoct various foul mixes, of rotting Pine Wood and rancid Black Pomes. Into these mixes, they soak the hides of the beasts and fish they have tamed. Leathers ranging from the sturdy Woradine hides to the fine and supple Tritonic Carp skin begin to circulate. One brew, that of noxious Barlow, dies the Leather a brilliant red, and bright red clothes become fashionable among the Vree.

>MI - Trade UNNIIC. Give Falerine Domestication, receive Hatchery.
In the warmest climes, down in the oaken forests of Regala's lands, UNNIIC's gifted technology takes root. Seaside pools of swimming mollusks, their 8 arms mesmerizing any Vree who looks too long.

Regala moves to intercept the flying UNNIIC, meeting them and Thomass just south of the muscular god's capital.

>Vluchs Unit Move - 28,7 to 29,9
>Wizard Gehaim Move - 29,7 to 29,9
The returning Vluchs and the mysterious Gehaim find themselves walking the last stretch of narrow forest paths that lead to the growing Town of Welkomplaats. The Vree congregate around the cloaked figure, sniffing their masks and flowing red robes.
"What's it like?" One of the Vree asks.
"Painful." Hisses Gehaim, in a voice that is neither male or female. "But... freeing, in a way. It is dangerous, what I have. I would not share it."

>Along his journey he seems to have picked up a rather dull but undeniably determined Dazawk, sitting on his shoulder and attempting to peck into his marrow, to no avail.

>Novakhet approaches both Ofu and the goddess as Americus finishes off her ultimatum, remaining silent but making his existence known, his eyes dimmer than their usual light as his spark is too busy elsewhere to keep the lights on properly in the real world.

With her discomfort from the spotlights apparent, the vessel dimmed them slightly, "This Vessel is already present. Leaving before the third arrives would invalidate the purpose of him coming here."

"This vessel acts as an ark to preserve and tend to the Passengers. You may request either temporary transport or permanent Passengership for yourself or your Vree. Simple transport would require a payment of sorts, though this has already been addressed by you for the time being. One servitor left in wait for the vessel's return reported a collective of organisms, now identified as Vree, depositing an amount of Oltar ore several epochs ago. This has been recovered and is being processed as we speak. This vessel assumes it was your people's doing, and as such would constitute payment for future transport if requested. Passengership however is free and encouraged."

"Based on your own method of locomotion, and your interest in supplying transport for your Vree, is it correct to assume you wish some degree of psuedo-flight for these beasts? Such creatures do not seem to express overly aerodynamic properties, their forms more suited for large strides across the lands. However, this vessel's domains might be of use in this situation should a sample be retained for our own uses."
"As far as the latter offer goes, the ability for proper use and domestication of the species would be requested. Would an exchange of technique on raising Pallipods for ink or sustenance suffice? A small sample population will be provided as well in exchange for the Falerine."

>Major: [Develop] - Airship Cartography. Though easy enough to notate landforms and geography from above, a rudimentary mapping of observed prevailing winds and jet streams is also often included on more clustered and comprehensive UNNIIC maps. Using - Literature, Knowledge of The Ancients, and the fact that I am, indeed, an airship.

>Minor: Gift small Pallipod population with Regala for hatchery
>Minor: Share Hatchery Tech with Regala, in exchange for Falerine Domestication 2

>Minor: Offer Thomass Cartography in exchange for Medicine. Perhaps a fellow travel god would appreciate the ability to show where all you've been.

An intriguing offer. An interesting hypothesis to put to the test. The Vessel had only assumed itself and those of specific biological design were capable of flight. The rocks and land features deep within its own domain simply floated in the air rather than flew, borne aloft from its own divine might. To grant this potential to another object or creature could have numerous applications should it prove successful.

Meanwhile, the astronomicon bridge had been working in tandem with the vessel and a selection of Turtlefolk to create a map of the world that had thus far been explored. Utilizing their long memory and the many places the ship itself had traveled and observed, the first maps of the world would begin production. Along with the general features of maps, additional features were often added to maps used within UNNIIC's settlement, including the rough patterns of winds and air currents they had experienced on their journey.

Another divine signature soon crested the mountain and joined the ad hoc meeting of gods. Clearly he was familiar with the elven one to have walked up beside her so casually without causing her to draw her blade. Humanoid, but most decidedly a being of far greater proportions and concentrations of muscles than the others the vessel had encountered thus far.

"Greetings, designation Thomass, this unit's designation is UNNIIC. Assistance is always appreciated by both this vessel and those within it. Do you or your buff nuggets require transport? Or would any like to sign up for permanent Passengership?"

"You silly beautiful goddess, you can't break a promise we have just recent made. The divine promise was between you and I, we wouldn't act aggressive with each other or your people.

Attack the crab unit if it tries to leave.

The crab had left, using the army he bought with him he was constructing a fortress on the coast. Was it a peace effort? Doubtful. Neverless he left and that was an opportunity.
Deploying the power given to him, the First began to revitalize the jungle the crab had defiled. The Bloom was still there in the ground and trees, in the birds and critters. With every step the First took toward the fortress of Tantalus the forest behind took back it's meaty color. Plant-Flesh filled with new blood, muscle growing back where they wilted.
The crab would be stopped from interfering, peace was to be maintened in the Bloom's garden.

Sadden at the sight of the deity intervening in the battle between his pets and theirs. Without turning away as he stares with concern and anticipation.
"I crave growth in body, mind, and spirit. Seeking to grasp on things that might help me. Once I get a hold of something I crave the most then it's hard for me to let go...like the part of me that covers my land.

Ooooo, are you someone that seeks death or leads it? You might like to watch what is about to unfold here, want to sit next to me?"

“Your desires are strange, but I have met stranger beings still. I am Novakhet, the god of death, and I suppose I cannot resist saying again that I was the Sun, before it was cool.”

“I intend only to watch the carnage you have wrought here, not get involved, little brother of mine.”
“Though I may feel the need to bury some of the bodies.”

“Needless death is such a shame.”

Tech trading has been nerfed, as it has long since needed. Minor action trades are now 1 tech, increasing to a maximum of 3 with major actions.
Forgot about some obelisk reveals last update, so some of them may now pop up in already owned hex. Whoops.
Added snippet in the Spirit attribute to include the -1 penalty with direct attacks, that was earlier declared in the /boc/ discord.
Players can now hold a maximum of 30 mana at a time.
Level up rules remain a WIP.

WORLD EVENTS
A large hurricane begins to billow through the south-eastern sea.
Qazlal and Akros are absent this epoch and will receive double the major actions the following epoch.

GODS ACTIONS
>>4453201 Grindall
Claimed 2 hex.
The Meer upgraded to a town.

>>4453569 Furnlatha
Established Farfjord.
Woollen Garments developed.
From the ashes of Tortoiseterra's pyre, Furnlatha makes an interesting discovery. The burnt remnants of Tortoiseterra have an identical composition as the dustsod encountered in the lands ravaged by locusts. The God's ashes appear all the same, albeit maintaining a sliver of divine energy. Given time, perhaps the two materials will be no different.

>>4453802 Tantulus
Fortress constructed.
Literacy developed.

>>4454286 Chom and Chod
The Psychic Peek developed and established at [21,28].
To summarize discussion from /boc/ on its effects:
>So long as Chom and Chod begins or ends their turn at The Psychic Pool and do not involve themselves in war nor trade during the epoch, the twins may use Node Stones to spy on and gain the first two tech traded that epoch as a non-DI minor action. If more than two tech are involved in a trade the twins spy on, the selected tech will be randomized. Chom and Chod can only gain the benefits of this gained tech if they meet the tech and resource prerequisites, becoming NULL until said prerequisites are met. Node Stones cannot be used for anything else during the same epoch The Psychic Pool is used.
House Boats developed.
Peeked Philosophy and Oltanite Metallurgy.

>>4455051 Ofu
Claimed 3 hex.
MUD developed.
Hydblee pack established and deployed to [17,7].
As the pack blooms, amongst the group of Hydblee stands a particularly large and powerful Yamaca, wielding power to command nearby beasts, a Beast Wizard!
The Hydblee pack tears through the entrance to The Archive, as the agile invaders feed upon the archivists within, killing 400 minions. (Damage dealt to civilian minions in settlements is doubled, for anyone wondering why its fairly high).
Irrigation developed.

Mathematics developed.
As The Hydblee swarm through The Archive, Earis must take care with his deathly mist form as to not harm his own Archivists. The mushrooms' sturdy frame and quick pace makes them difficult targets as they ravage the settlement, but even so Earis managed to eliminate a third of their group. (50/150 minions killed)

Unnamed unit established and one unit produced.
Americus begins to cautiously unweave the binding threads of divine energy from the enchantment Ofu and her share. It is not an easy task, and feels as though she is disarming a bomb that could detonate at any moment. But alas, she manges to succeed thus far.

Americus, who has been silent since Ofu's reply working to nullify the treaty calmly, coldly turns her head to Novakhet and says "You came all this way, not help, but watch. Earis assisted us, in the creation of the universal afterlife, I thought you a ally after that, even if we had our differences we could come together for the betterment of the world and each other, bow now in his hour of need you choose come not to help, watch as he is forced him stand alone." Americus's flame has turned from a hateful dim red and orange glow, to a baleful, sickly flickering blue and black flame.

>>4455055
>Communicate: Ofu
As the haze of battle cleared somewhat, Earis will notice a pulse of divine energy similar to his newly printed Patron Archivist of Hydroponics. He'll turn to face the Mushroom god, displeased that he was chatting with Novakhet and not acknowledging his offer of peace. "If you would prefer, I will be magnanimous. Depart these lands and I won't even ask you to take the effort of cleaning your taint off the surroundings. Instead, I will take that remarkable mushroom specimen on (17, 7) to be Indexed."

>>4458041
>Communicate: Amercius
Seeing the fuming Americus, he'll take a short period of time to walk over to her, giving her a sudden embrace. "Regain your composure, I am glad to see he did not harm you at least. Do not bicker with Novakhet on this matter, by the time he arrived I already had the situation well under control." He'll laugh, letting go and reaching up to pat her on the head. "I had hoped to show you the estate I built for you here, now I must only hope the mushrooms did not destroy it. Forgive me again for being such a poor host."

>>4458041
“I came to watch, of course, that is my duty. To be there for souls who pass on.”

“I do not consider Earis weak, in need of my protection, he is my equal, friend, in the matter of combat I consider him even superior.”
“These old bones are not made for war, Americus, I do not rush to it so quickly as you do. I despise pointless conflict, because I truly know death.”

“If he needed help and called upon my aid you could be certain I would arrive with endless legions of all the finest warriors throughout history, a surprising amount of which are crabs... I wonder what is happening elsewhere...”
“But this is not his hour of need, sister, I think him more than capable of facing down this misguided child.”

>Novakhet remains silent for a while, as the bird returns to perch on his shoulder and attack his face through pecking

>He speaks again, quieter
“I do so wish we wouldn’t fight so often, every time we meet...”

Americus was taken by surprise as the smaller god embraced her and her aching heart was soothed by his words and demeanor, her flame turn from their unnatural dark hue to back to red and orange the flames dancing somberly. Americus then turned and properly embraced Earis again lifting him into a tight hug saying "I am so sorry Earis, this is all my fault, he must have followed me south after our dealings, he tricked me into agreeing to a non-aggression packed. so that I would't be able to do anything against him. He acted kind and carefree portraying himself as a lover of life, not a war monger. Now I am powerless to stand with you against him lest I envoke the curse we agree to for breaking the packed. I truly am a naive trusting fool." americus cries silently while embacing Earis for a short time before as he suggested compossing herself and sets him back down.

>>4458063
Turning you Novakhet Americus walks to him, having heard his words and taken them to heart, her emotions clamed and clearity restored "I am sorry to you as well Novakhet, I allowed myself to be overcome by my hurt and angry at Ofu's actions. I was wrong to say such things to you your duty to motrals is important and needed. But your wrong I do now death Nova I know it all to well, I have watched and weeped for countless generations of my childern grow live and die my childern who I have watch grow into what they are now. while the archiviests are not my childern, I have spent much time here and seen them grow and prosper as well and to see this devistation, this death it hurts as much as if they where my own. I to dispise pointless conflict but to me this fight I can't partake is isn't pointless Nova. I know Earis can take care of himself but I view you both as my allies, to me that mean any attack on either of you is an attack on myself. I would charge south to your aid just as readly as I would to Earis's with the armies mankind at my back." Americus's distress is clear on her face "But now because of my own damned foolishness and trusting nature I am powerless to do anything I can only stand and watch. Standing with a friend, even if they don't need the help is a isn't pointless Nova, it is just what you because it's right." Americus let's a silance hang for a moment be for saying "...I heard what you said at the end, and I also wish we didn't fight everytime we meet, I greatly enjoyed descussing the finer details of the afterlife with you and all the planning it intailed we had some great ideas," with a sad smile americus continues "can you for give me Novakhet"

Returning at long last to the Meer, Grindall is quite impressed by what he finds. The new christened town, it seems, is bustling with new faces and strange developments. His deal with the blazing goddess Furnlatha, it seems, is paying dividends as he watches one of his people wave a strange spear tipped with metal in happiness at his return, and as he guzzles some of the strange concoction offered to him by another, it seems the encounter with the strange crustaceans he's informed of soon after had been well-received too. When he sees the crops, however, and the great underwater cisterns they have constructed to sustain them, he's struck with an idea, a means by which they may benefit even more from these two new developments.

Already, he seems small fungi beginning to form in the the cavern, the underwater lake a perfect breeding ground for their kind. Just as he'd suspected. Take on small mushroom up in his hands tenderly, he transplants it to the center of the small, empty plain that had been left off to the side of the cistern, where they worked to draw the water they needed to sustain the plants above. Then, the god concentrated, drawing on his divine spark for a purpose he had yet to exercise: Creation. As a rough, brown light began to leak from the tips of his claws, the mushroom began to change. It's began to grow, slowly, but picking up speed, growing faster and faster, until it was nearly the size of the god himself. It's stalk thickened as it's head began to expand outward, growing fleshier along with the rest of the mushroom.

As the god finished at last an absolutely massive specimen of a mushroom laid before him, near as tall as he and thicker around then any Svirgrindall. At last he turned around to face his people, who'd been looking on in astonishment as the strange new development took place.

"Liked what ye'd done with those plants up above, but they're not exactly ideal for this environment, aye? So, I took advantage 'o these great big caves ye'd made, and grew something I reckoned would survive well here." With a grandiose flourish, the god presented his newest creation to the assembled Svirgrindall. "I reckon I'll call em Belcaps."

>[MA] [DI] In a Divine act of creation, Grindall modifies a pre-existing mushroom species into a new large crop fungus, the Belcap

>>4458227
While most were simply happy to cultivate, grow, and eat the newly made crop of their god, which flourished in the moist plains around the cisterns, one Svirgrindall looked upon them, and saw a different sort of potential. He, more then any of his people, had become enamored with the strange new drink that had been gifted to them by the crabs. Unfortunately, it was in short supply, especially as of late, with most of the crabs having departed West for something that they had hopefully interpreted correctly to be some sort of big fight. Still, before they had left, this particular Svirgrindall had been able lay eyes on the production methods of the crabs' strange concoction, watching as they had left the sweet liquid they'd called honey in the great clay pots their people fashioned, waiting for weeks on end before finally popping open the lid and revealing, to the mole man's shock, the drink they'd dubbed mead.

And so, as he watched industrious Svirgrindall cultivate great fields of the newly christened Belcaps, he knew exactly what to do with them. Taking one of the great clay pots, which he'd traded out of one of the crustaceans just this epoch, he lugged it towards the field as some Svirgrindall stopped their work for a moment, watching as the strange fellow approached. When he requested a couple of Belcaps, well, it was a bit of an odd request, to ask for them directly from the source, they saw no reason not to oblige him, and handed them over easily enough. Now, he needed to devise a way to transform these into what he needed. Simply tossing them in the pot with some water, he suspected, wouldn't do it. They'd decompose, certainly, but not in the way he wanted. So, he took his claws to them, shredding and smashing the Belcaps as other Svirgrindall looked on in confusion, until he finally had them powdered to his satisfaction. That done, he poured the newly destroyed remains into the top of the pot, before approaching one of the great underwater lakes and filling the pot with water from it. Then, he rested the pot against the wall....and wandered off. Perplexed, the other Svirgrindall watched him go for a moment before turning their attention to the pot. They could do something about it, they supposed, or report the odd occurrence to Grindall himself, but, well, it wasn't as if the pot was in their way where it sat, and the purposeful actions of their fellow mole, however, strange, were enough to convince them that he had some sort of plan in mind. So, they resumed their work and paid it no further mind.

>Cont'd

>>4458257
And so the pot sat there for three whole weeks, a strange, but mostly unremarked upon oddity in the massive cavern, which had been further expanded to allow for the growth of more of the Belcaps. Until, finally, a familiar face reappeared. Walking up to the pot with a look of giddy anticipation on his face, the Svirgrindall popped open the lid, and coughed at the smell that hit him, his eyes watering. Still, he persisted, taking a sip of the newly brewed concoction. Even as he coughed it up almost immediately, he quickly began cheering. Even if it was leagues stronger and stranger tasting then before, he'd still felt that fuzzy sensation even as it travelled down his throat.

>MA+DI - Celebrate the Comet's Passing
Regala feels that her Vree do not have enough to celebrate, and senses that since a set amount of Epochs have passed, it is time to set aside some days to celebrate what has come to pass. The comet's green light, a fading memory in most Vree's minds, is still vivid in Regala's. She sets about infusing her realm with a reflection of the time it flew overhead, creating a string of emerald auroras that dazzle the sky once a year. These nights are typically spent in the skies, watching the snow-blanketed world glitter below them.

>MA - Develop Animal Riding

This spot is popular for both Vrees and Buffnuggets, and many a small abode has sprung up on both sides. It is in one of these homes, a log cabin squatting on the frozen landscape, that we find a curious pair. A Vree, her auburn hair held in to large ribbons, intently watches a boiling kettle. The small kettle soon begins to pop and hiss, and she quickly lifts it off the flame, pouring a dark liquid into two sets of wooden pink cups.
A small plate of sliced meats joins the cups on a tray, and a quiet hum follows her as she exits the small kitchen. Her yellow dress stands out in the dark hallways she trots through, past the scatterings of leatherbound books that litter her halls. She snatches one, tucking it under arm, and presses on.
"I'm back! I hope you don't mind trying a new brew I've made?" She said, stepping through a small doorway into a well lit room.
"Not at all Ms. Caris! I look forward to it!" Her guest said, rising to his feet. The towering Buffnugget, refined muscles lean and ready, stepped forward, gently taking the tray from the Vree. "I see you brought one!"
Caris smiled, offering the book to the curious humanoid. "Yes, we call them 'books'. The animal skins are treated to make them soft and supple, and then written upon. Those pages, specifically, are made of Tritonic Carp skin, while the covering is Poddox leather."
"Fascinating!" The muscular Fitlit said, taking a seat after his host did. As the Vree smoothed her dress, Fitlit opened the book, examining the pages, then began reading what was on them.
"Now, my Vreenish is a little rusty." He said jokingly, earning a small grin from Caris. Fitlit was a master of language, and regularly composed writings in both Vreenish and his own tongue. "But I do understand this is a manual on how to produce such fine... leathers, you call them?"
"Indeed." Caris said, picking up her fragrant pink cup and sipping at the liquid. She continued on, sitting up straight and looking up at Fitlit over the rim of her cup. "I was hoping you would tell me more of that fascinating idea you had if I bribed you."
"Ever the gracious host. I look forward to making fine books of my own!" Fitlit smiled, setting the book aside. He delicately reached down (he was far too tall for this entire building, and had to perch on the chair he sat on, extending his arm nearly straight down to reach anything on the table) and picked up one of the slices of raw fish, which he enjoyed immensely. Taking the tiny cup in his massive hands, he examined it thoughtfully.

"Rosewood, yes?" He questioned, and Caris nodded.
"It helps flavor the drinks, giving it a lovely after taste." She explained, to which Fitlit nodded appreciatively, taking a hearty swig of the hot drink.
"It's... ugh. Um. Lovely." He choked out, tears pricking at the corners of his eyes. "What, exactly, is it?"
Caris nodded, sipping her own drink slowly. "It's a new idea I'm trying. Fermented Black Pome, mixed with Barlow extract, Pallipod oil, and suffused with some mushrooms I found on a Shroomstalk earlier. It is-" and she sipped the last of her drink. "-absolutely disgusting. More?"
"Please! No, no thank you." Fitlit said hurriedly, chuckling nervously. Caris smiled good naturedly, and brought out a much more palatable fruit juice for the giant to drink.
"Now, before you tried to poison me." Fitlit began, to which Caris raised an eyebrow. "Yes, that was an act of war, Ms Caris, that drink was THAT bad! But regardless, I will still share with you an idea. Why I do the things I do. Let me explain..."

There was much talk of lifting heavy things up, and putting them down elsewhere, but carefully, so as not to damage the Gym floor, and then of much reading of also very heavy stone tablets, and Caris wasn't sure she understood what it was all about. But she would try, and that was equally important.

After living many epochs in a tribalistic hierarchy with the main enforcers of order being the shamans, the gorgons used their newly acquired knowledge and the blessing of their goddess to form an Aristocracy Government, chosen from the intellectual, martial and industrial elite of the population.
With this settled, one of the major tasks is dealing with the individuals infected by the bloom. Although they remain loyal, their irresponsible distribution of the so called gift has reached a dangerous rate so the new nobility formed a council to think of a solution for this issue. In the end they finally reached a conclusion : the infected should cease "gifting" healthy individuals until the situation normalises or they'll be sent to prison camps outside of the settlements for a short time and if they continue to desobey the order capital punishment will be applied.

In the jungles, gardeners are at work. Their bones, teeth, nails and tools are starting to show their limits, a stronger material like the hard rocks found deep in the mountains was needed, alas a unknown being was chasing them outside of them, jealous of the stones hidden within. It's influence ever more present over the whole mountain range. Fortunately some of that greenish rock they found on the surface was still in their possession, It would still be a good beginning to learn how to shape those ore best. Melting them down was quite an adventure, trying initially to make oven out of the bones proved to be a bad idea, numerous tries later, a mix of clay and bone powder was finally used making oven more than able to withstand the heat needed to melt the metal.

On the south coast however, all peace offers with the Crab ended with naught. It was unfortunate but if coexistence was impossible then the threat to the Bloom's existence was to be destroyed. All over the coast, swarms of Chimeras began to surge over crabs settlements, trampling over buildings, burrows, and crabs indiscriminately.

Leaving the manual labor to his Chimeras, The First instead turn his attention toward the fortress where Tantalus lies. Now that the jungle around them is brimming the the Gift, the time to use it has come. Weaving the Bloom's power, the First call upon the plants and animals nearby, roots and branch extend, some Trees even unearthing themselves feeling the summon, birds and critter abound, stray Tugais show themselves. With this misshapen mob assembled, the First start weaving, Flesh is clay, Bone is wax, Life is malleable. With each of his strokes a fence grow a bit more, slowly blocking the fortress from the outside. Soon a wall of wood and muscles, of herb and bones, cover the entrance. As a finishing touch, the First calcify the whole things, hardening it, making it resistant to outside force. (Spirit roll if you need it for that)
"This may not hold you for a very long time Crab, but it shall be enough..."

>>4459781
Enough for their reinforcement to come indeed, for in myxoma a new creature was rising, a true champion of their people, if the gardeners were the Bloom's flower, then it would be the Bloom's tree, overlooking the garden. Hundreds and hundreds of Gardeners started to join each others, bringing with them tugais and spiders, becoming one. Soon the creature stood up, far taller than the tallest tree, it was both a single being and a multitude. A mass of both gifted plants and animals. Nests of poisonous spiders could be found all over, adorning it. The first Kaiju of the world, Cass-ise, was born and it was looking east toward Stone-Claw.

Fitlit brings a world of confusion and clarity all at once to the Vree as he explains the essence of thought and how much of it is autonomous. "How much of you is truly you and how much is just the body existing? Is your nice personality of choice or is it a natural tactic to exist easily socially? We strive to know why so that we understand our autonomous and non autonomous actions and flow with clarity and freedom." Were Fitlit's words truly deep or were they simply long winded ways of explaining basic human nature, that in and of itself is only something the Vree learn herself as she takes a journey into her and all of Vree Philosophy.

This Polsarium is a powerful source of energy. However, it has been steadily decaying since its acquisition. Now that the indexing of its material is accomplished, the ship determines it is better to use it now before it deteriorates any further. As such, the remaining rocks are quickly drained of their energy and used to fuel the ship directly for this epoche, enabling it a far greater capacity to lay claim to the world and travel at far greater speeds than it had known.

As the ship reaches coordinates [25,12], it comes across a rather large collective of Turtlefolks on the beaches of its domain. For a time, the ship remains here, to allow new Passengers to board if desired, or let off only temporary transported minions. And of course to restock up on various goods.
During its stay, the ship notices several large groups of Turtlefolk struggle to keep their serpent-propelled rafts together. After some consideration, it opts to, along with the sharing of cartography with the locals, introduce a more long-term seaworthy craft. The basic vessel structure is composed mainly of wood, using an Oltar coating on the bottom of the hull to prevent growths and damage to the wood underneath. Ropes and miniture sails of solgrass are used, along with a several sets of oars for more manual propulsion. With this, the turtlefolks who did not choose Passengership will still be able to travel across the eastern ocean and between the ever growing docking points.

While the ship is also there, it hears the small amounts of trading between the local turtlefolk and the few frontiersmen of the Gorgons. To assist in this growing of mutual cooperation, the ship provides the methodology to create maps of the lands to the gorgon frontiers men, no doubt helpful to better display the far reaches of their realm.

Returning to her lands after some time away, Furnlatha is pleased to meet her Pyrelings again in Farfjord. So many more now! It really warms her all over to see all their their little lives burning so very brightly. It seems that in her absence the Pyrelings have set themselves up a few further little codes and phrases to live by. 'It is sinful to extinguish another Pyreling, but a blessing to help make everyone's lives blaze beautifully' is one that particularly takes her fancy, and she listens as they tell her of all the ceremonies they've thought up to call to her in her absence - did they miss her?

The eternal pyres that dot every land where the Pyrelings hold presence, she learns, were first lit back in Firstflame from a spark that she ignited when she first descended upon the world, or so the Pyrelings tell it; the flame-touch passed from pyre to priest to pyre without going cold or extinguishing. Lighting their own bodies as newborns with a lick of that Furnlatha-touched flame, and carrying it with them throughout their journeys through life, passing the torch through their generations and always keeping affinity with their creator through their shared fires. And in each village or larger, a temple-forge, where the fires of destruction and creation and reshaping are tended and cared and used for practices both mystical and mundane; where on making the journey to Adulthood a Pyreling will forge for him or herself some tool, amulet or trinket in honour of their god, family and goals for life; a demonstration of the abilities they have learned of crafting and of what they wish to make of themselves. And even on death, the burning of the Pyreling in some manner of their choosing; reducing their mortal remnants to ash as all things go to be returned to the cycles of the world.

Two varieties of priest have arisen within her domains, she learns; of the flame and of the forge; the keepers of the eternal pyres who wander through the land, bringing light and flame to the wilderness and fiery salvation those who roam there; and the keepers of the communal temple-forges who bring warmth to their communities through their work and instruction of others.

With a wave of her blazing hand, Furnlatha lays some small fraction of her divine presence directly upon a band of itinerant preachers, yet to head to carry out the works of the flame-priests; their cooled heads blazing alive again with a newfound strength in their flame-wreathed bodies at the touch of the goddess' fiery essence. “Be blessed and be forged anew.” she whispers. “Be re-lit, to carry the embers of my flame out into the world, to consecrate those unknown and unfriendly lands with the touch of fire and the progress that development will bring them. Be strong and be true my children. May your fires burn long and heartily.”

I do hope that you are not abandoned strays, left here upon my doorstep... do your people posses the gifts of fire already, have you come to my territories to learn the ways of the forge?” she asks, not yet knowing if the creatures here will answer her.

Starry omens of doom shine in the sky, their god absent for many decades now, the anarchistic tribes once again gather at a great ceremony at black pillar to elect a new leader.

The results are confused, and end up with several leaders forming a joint council, four humans, only one gorgon, and then a partially reanimated pyreling and turtlefolk forming the impromptu and swiftly disintegrating leadership, as few leadership arrangements last more than a year in black pillar.

With at least some guidance once more the Dagekhet get to work on their infrastructure, developing new and innovative methods of construction.

The architectural fervour brings rise to a slowly growing return of support for restoring the ancient order of the Osseous Masons, but now granted new life and new technology in the ages that have passed since then.

Equipped with Tugai pulled carts to carry equipment and materials, the best tools their civilisation has ever seen and measurements and accuracy beyond what was once possible, they show true architectural promise.

>Communicate with Novakhet
Americus, moves in and embraces Novakhet, Her a Goddess of Life and He a god of Death yet at that moment it mattered not to Americus for she only saw a friend, she hold the hug in silence for a few moments be for saying “Thank you Novakhet, I will try to temper my passion but for now, we have larger issues to attend too. Ofu, tricked me into a treaty which binds my hand and prevents me from moving against him in any way, fool that I am thought it would assure peace between us all, but he played me. He is far smarter than he lets on. I can break the Divine packed, but I fear I am not powerful enough on my own. I have only managed to undo the outermost layers and that felt like defusing a bomb. I plan to keep unwinding the divine magic of the treaty, but I fear I am doomed to fail alone, please Nova, if we work together, I think we can undo it safely. As for what happens if we fail, all I can say is it will be bad. ”
(Americus asks Nova to help with her spirit checks)

Communicate to Earis
As Earis finished speaking, Americus said while turning to face him “Of course you are more than welcome in Districtus Columbus, but why do you speak of such things, now we ha-” Her words choke and dye in her throat, as she watched with muted horror as Earis destroyed the Archive he had worked so hard to build. It was then that she realized how dire the situation really was, As Earis’s forces were corrupted and converted into more of Ofu’s own damnable kind. To ensure Ofu wouldn’t win the day, Earis had made the call to destroy his work and take down Ofu’s forces with it. All while Americus was helpless to do anything but watch as the place she had come to think of as an unofficial second home was laid low.

>>4461086
2/3 (longer than I thought)
Communicate to Ofu
Americus stood mutely as the Dust settled and she Watched Earis begin his resolute march to her home. Within herself a war of emotion was playing out the fire of her torch rapidly and erratically changing. Despair threatened to break her cracked heart, the loss of life and destruction her naivety had wrought becoming to much, Hatred threatened to harden her heart into black stone, for the god who had so easily outplayed her, and Guilt threatened to consume her whole, as in her heart she knew even if the others did not blame her that this was all her fault. If she had been more attentive with the treaty or had not put so much blind trust into a stranger, that none of this would have happened. As this war of emotion played out and Her flame flickered, roared, and sputtered all in quick succession, Clarity overtook her, as she watches the retreating Earis, walk not in broken defeat, but with purpose and resolute confidence in his stride. He was not beaten, He had done everything in his power to deny Ofu his victory and salvage what he could and regroup and rally in her lands, in her home. With this clarity came calm and from the calm came righteous determination. She couldn’t fix her mistakes but she could learn from them and ensure this never happens again. Moving to wipe the tears from her face Americus turns to Ofu, flames having roared to life a bright nearly blinding white, with eyes full of determination. She spoke “Ofu, I offered you my hand in friendship, formed abound with you in the name of peace. I could have forgiven you for attacking Earis, while ignorant of mine and his alliance, I would have embraced you and a valued friend and ally, from this tragedy could have been formed a bright new future for us all. I want you to know Ofu, in choosing this path, you have ensured your own destruction as the moment for peace, the moment for understanding and forgives has passed, you will fall and I will stand above you ready to deliver the killing blow. When that day comes Ofu, don’t beg, don’t ask for my mercy, you choose this path, now live with the consequences.” She turns her back and mores to follow with Earis, there was a war to plan and a treaty to burn.

The ages-old moth daemon stirs and wakes with a start, cursing himself for succumbing to rest! There was work to be done, and such luxuries would damn him to failure!

><COMMUNICATE: DAEMON> ???
The long-suffering daemon runs his hands over the still uncomfortably hot surface of the stone that fell from the sky, eyeing it thoughtfully and considering the many options laid out before him for uses of the power that it held within. "This stone..." He mutters to himself, almost without thinking. "With its aid, I could possibly rid myself of my little infection."

The Snails look to each other after their first peek into the pool, and they see some rather interesting concepts that they've not truly thought over before. The creation of tools with Oltar? Strange. Philosophy beyond religion? Even stranger.

They take their newly found technologies and get to work re-evaluating their peoples to the best of their abilities.

=====
-Major | Develop: The Soldier's Code. The Defenders of The Rosewood Temples scattered about The Villages of The Chod Chain have been the first to take up philosophical thinking. They have come to the conclusion that the true foundation of any society is its protectors, who form the solid base for which all society is built upon. The better the warriors who protect the peoples, the grander the society may become, as the true enemy of progress is the fear of threat from the outside world. In this, the soldier must dedicate their being to the perfection of their role, and some Temples across The Chain have become dedicated practitioners of The Soldier's Code.

-Major | Divine Develop: Chodic Clay. The secrets of Oltar's smithing is currently beyond The Snails, but they are indeed inspired, so in its place the decide to instead craft with something they know. Clay is plentiful in The Swamps of The Chain, and in this, The Snails begin altering its divine composition to something more sturdy. The form of Chodic clay is created from deposits around The land, a porcelain-esque material that hardens well enough to be ground into tools and blades after a period of heating and refining, acting as an imitation metal that mediates between being iron and stone-like.

-Minor | Peek. The Snails quite enjoyed what the found in the last peeking session. It's perhaps time they see what the world is up to once more.

“I will lend my power, as much as I am able. Do not worry about being indebted to me, a greater concern is clearly present.”

“I will mention however, Dear Sister, that my aid stretches as far as protecting my friends, I have no interest in extermination though I will not myself step to prevent you from pursuing it.”

“Endeavour not to cage yourself nor clip your wings again in future, Goddess of Freedom.”
“I hope this aids you.”

Qazlal lays hands upon the sky stone and takes its burning energies into himself! He drains the whole of the stone's stores and struggles painfully to hold the searing power within himself!

><MOVE: DAEMON> [14,12]
The Bleeding Father takes flight, carrying his absorbed store of power north, to the northern coast of his skeletal neighbor's territory, and comes to land upon a beach under the daytime stars.

With a holler of pain and frustration, Qazlal raises his hands above himself and releases the bottled energy into one mighty act of divinity! The stars above Qazlal's head faded from view and vanished behind a thick, blossoming blanket of dark grey clouds, and fat drops of gory red rain fell from the heavens to mark these miles of shoreline as spoken for, stretching themselves from where they started far to the wast all the way to near the massive rift in the ground in the east! As these new clouds the moth god collapses upon the sands, succumbing to the blistering pain of the sky stone's power.

><DEVELOP [MA]> Literature, Government, Domestication I
The Sanguine Keep develops itself further in the time that their god has spent away! Many of the Dukhali collaborate and develop a method for recording communications and thoughts in a visual format, enabling the sharing of information on a large scale. Among the information that gets distributed is thoughts about creating more docile biseaxe through breeding. In this way, the biseaxe is eventually domesticated, and rules are eventually agreed upon to keep track of ownership of these large beasts.

Wheeled Vehicles shared with Novakhet.
Novakhet has gifted you Oltanite Metalworking.
The lack of shelter leaves many remaining Archivists exposed to the elements, as population increase stagnates.

"So it has come to this then. The blood of my people stains your claws, an entire village lies in flames, and hundreds of innocent lives have been snuffed out by the hands of you and your minions. And here you stand, accusing ME of madness?"

"You speak of your desire for peace, yet every action you take has been warlike in the highest degree. Even the act which sparked this, your units intruding upon my territory, would have been Casus Belli all it's own to someone more warlike."

>Wizard Name: Archlich Anathemus

Wizards in the culture of Black Pillar were unknown, an effective non-entity until the rising of the first of the Liches, named Anathemus by the locals in fear of his abilities and in scorn of his ideas.

Demonstrating command over strange powers thought the exclusive domain of the gods, and a grasp over undeath such that their flesh never returned to them, they were soon exiled from Black Pillar, forbidden to return. Not that he cared.

The town dwellers were close-minded, resentful because they were jealous, fools who did not understand magic, or the Obelisks!

His exile drew a following, acolytes and wanderers following the skeletal being who so did imitate the almighty Novakhet, and display too similar abilities.

Questions for later. For now dark hateful clouds had fallen upon the second obelisk, and banished from the city the wizard had to leave.

He took off for the salt fields, the Thaum crystals would be an excellent first field of research.

Not even the sun god himself knew much of them, to understand them truly... would be to hold power over the very gods of this world themselves!

“I am incredibly sorry, Americus, Earis. I cannot help in this conflict as much as I had expected I would be able to.”

“The Father of Summer, the god that survived the end of the previous world and went mad in the process, has invaded and begun to corrode my lands.”

“I know not if I will be able to stop him, but his clouds of blood now threaten to envelop Black Pillar and it’s people in its entirety, and I must be there for them.”

“I do not know how much I will be able to do for you.”

>>4463154
Americus Curses to herself then replies " It seems that black luck has taken us all then. Novakhet, you have my word that once Ofu is brought to heel or eradicated I will be there to help you. Moreover, you have already done enough friend were it not for you I would have failed in coming this far with the dispersion of the treaty. I promise you will have my aid, brother." having said her piece she draws Novakhet into a deep hug and holds it for a time. letting him go she gives him a nod of respect

Those are certainlu... Interesting terms you have.
If you'd let me i'll have a counter proposal of sort.

Even know war can end, despite what you believe the Bloom do not seek to cause death and every living being we kill is a terrible loss for us. After receiving his Gift, your crabs from long ago decided to follow him, most certainly swayed by the beauty of it's message and of the very possibility of his existence, yes that is quite certain.
As i already told you they willingly joined us but they would certainly be more than overjoyed to go back to you and help you rebuild. More than that i can even send some of their descendants to you, to... Make up for those that are not with us anymore.

Now, for the rest of those terms. The first one is out of question, they only did what the situation called for. For the second, third and fourth, i will accept them with some conditions.
1) The max limit will be of 5 epochs and no more.
2) My brothers and sisters shall roam freely as long as they do not enter the territory of a divine being
3) You will accept the Bloom in yourself, actively help in it's spread and help bringing him into existence.

Given the circumstance, i think this is quite honest.

As light returns to the shadowed lands, settlers are quick to move in to the reclaimed area, the obelisks protect them from the blood, or so they may say and believe.
A Town is constructed on 16, 11, yet again around the obelisk. Perhaps the Dagekhet feel some attraction to them, or maybe they’re just doing it out of tradition.

Whatever the reason the second city is founded behind the mountains, with its own anarchistic government and slowly developing its own culture.

This city came to be named eventually Rift Edge, for its close proximity to the rift it is said the gods had carved in the ground in ancient times, where no mortals are allowed to approach too closely.

MA: Construct Town on 16, 11

UI: Engineers, construct a small wall around the settlement of Black Pillar.

Archlich Anathemus: Thaum Crystal + UI + 5 Mana: Thaumic Regalia

Though technically banished from the city, The First Lich was frankly uninterested in delving out into the wilderness while beings of incomprehensible power squabbled over land. Anathemus decided to ever so subtly ignore his banishment for the time being.

This would not delay his research however, what a dreadful suggestion!
The greatest of liches found a place to hide, an abandoned building in the city that he began fashioning into a temporary laboratory.

Fascinated by the gems power he began investigating as to how the extraordinary energy within Thaum Crystal could be manipulated, and then turned into magical items that allowed their bearers to accomplish greater magical feats!

The lab was shortly after raided by a mob, much pilfered by the ignorant crowd as the Lich, greatest of Dagekhet, ran for his life away.
But now with many stolen magic items, and the knowledge of how to make more, limitless possibilities to do with Thaum began to open up...

To the South, along the coasts, the land is in turmoil, awash with the blood of innocents. Though he's not met them himself, Grindall has heard tell of the crab people who dwell there from his folk. Their slaughter, especially the slaughter of their...women and children? Innocents. Their innocents. Will not be permitted. Grindall sallies forth from the Meer, carried across the dunes atop a tide of sand. He arrives at the site of the slaughter in a fury, striking about himself with his claws and cleaving through abominable fur and flesh with every blow, sand swirling about him as it stings the eyes and scourges the flesh of his monstrous foes.

>[Minor Action, DI] Move God Unit to 22, 23 and attack the Bloom's Chimeras.


In the Meer a educational revolution has begun to take place. One Svirgrindall, his mind addled by Belwar, put forth the idea of numbers to his fellows. It was not such a strange concept, after the letters they had been taught by the people of Furnlatha, and when another Svirgrindall shouted out that they should find a way to add or take away from them, things rapidly spiraled out of control from there.

>[MA] Develop Mathematics


Out on the dunes, under the harsh desert sun, another development was taking place. One ornery Svirgrindall, sick of feeling every bump and hump as he slid along the dunes, had had enough. After a few months of testing, he finally hit upon a basic solution. Rounded, smoothed stones, afixed to the sides of boards. It wasn't an ideal solution just yet; they tended to fall off after a couple of hours of travel, and the old Svirgrindall wasn't exactly an expert mason. After other Svirgrindall laid eyes on the invention, though, it's application began to spread, and eventually fell into the hands of more enterprising minds. After within the year Svirgrindall were zipping around on much improved versions of the original model, the wheels much smoothed out and, in the cases of some richer Svirgrindall, made from the light wood instead of stone. Some had even taken to changing the name of this new form of board, referring to them as "Chariots".

Regala follows the glimmering lights north, a gaggle of mounted Vree following in her wake through the frozen air. Along the very edge of her domains, her influence begins to stretch and expand, encircling the coast, and the tundra she knew.

>MA - Develop Government
The philosophical teachings of the Buffnuggets has caused a stir in Vree society, and many come to the grim conclusion that the average Vree cannot be trusted to work in the best interest of all Vree. A rare male Vree is elected to serve as a rudimentary leader, and when he proves savvy enough to not change too much, he is made a permanent king!


>Trade Tech - Thomass gives Education, Received Government.
Discussions between Vree and Buffnuggets have always heralded great leaps forward in Vree society, and many a tea-party is held in both lands to discuss ever more esoteric ideas. The Buffnuggets are far more knowledgeable than one would first assume, but their drive for 'The Gains' makes them even more unruly than Vree. The idea of hierarchies and responsibilities is traded along.

Parting Gifts - Akros, Asmodel

The gentle ring of bells heralds the arrival of a strange sight. Snorting and heaving, a host of glowing, be-ribboned Falerines prance through the sky, diminutive riders sitting idly and carefree in ornate saddles. Much laughter and conversation can be heard as the riders guide their beasts from one to another, until a hush overcomes the crowd when the ground below them comes into view.
Directly beneath them (Akros territory) lies a familiar woodland forest. Strange, tall insects scurry around below them, and perhaps look up with quizzical eyes?
A small section of the flying Vrees breaks off from the group, circling down to make contact.
cont...

>>4464245
The rest, including their leader, look to the west, where the forest seems to shift subtly (Asmodel territory).
>>4459445
It is a darker land, a cooler land, a land a few of the Vrees might seem comfortable in, being so similar to their own home. They descend down as well, spying slithering beings of some kind, weaving between trees and rocks of the nearby slopes. Some guide large wulfen beasts along winding paths, hitched to wagons filled with stone and ore. The keen beasts' snouts push into the air as they sensed the Vrees drawing close. The clang of metal on rock, which echoes in the distance, begins to fade as gorgon workers put aside their mining tools to meet these flying strangers.

Hovering a short distance overhead, the groups leader, a masked Vree swaddled in thick robes, who rides a massive Falerine, spoke with a voice that was sometimes male, sometimes female. His beast would snort and turn it's nose up at the potentially aggressive Tugai below, the lights that hung in it's anchors and danced at it's ankles flickering between jolly reds and greens.

"Greetings from Regala, the Giftmother!" Said the robed figure, a hand (also wrapped in thick gloves) extended from the pile of leather and cloth. A wide gesture, peaceful in intent, accompanied his(?) continued speech. "I am Gehaim, and I lead these Vrees as we travel the world! I bring news of the north, where my Divine patron and like-minded gods are building a wonderland! Who might you be, and are you a friend?"

>>4464258
"I'm Marina, a miner and one of the gorgons. You guys seem polite so we can have a pleasant talk. Our divine mistress is called Asmodel, she's the one who blesses the land with the veil of night. You said you came from the north, how is it like that far away and who are the other gods working with your deity ?"

The god will nod. "A dark season for all of us, know that should this matter still trouble you when we are finished, I will aid you."

>>4461091
"With Novakhet predisposed, allow me to help you. With my knowledge, I can do more than lend you my energies, but instead shield you from the curse should your luck not continue to hold. Hopefully, it will not come to that, but hope has not been on our side in this conflict."

>>4463095
>MA + DI: Use Knowledge Domain to help protect Americus from the curse should she fail her roll (Spirit check)
Leveraging his considerable divine energies, Earis worked to take some of the bite out of the curse that Americus was at risk of suffering, in hopes that should she fail to unbind herself she could still prove a worthy threat to Ofu.

>MA: Make use of the Archivist habitations in Columbia to temporarily resettle my population.
With the threat of Ofu still hanging over his head, Earis could not in good conscience begin the work of rebuilding The Archive. Making good on the bond he shared with Americus, Earis resettled his surviving archivists in the city of Columbia, which would afford them shelter until he could build them a proper home once again.

The founding of Rift Edge was treacherous, settlers trudging on through the pale sand to the uncharted Mesa beyond, and past that the black desert that contained the obelisk.

Almost disappearing against the ashen sands settlers began immediately setting up a town to rival black pillar in scale. Countless Tugai march on with their masters, carrying building materials, valuables, cultural relics and the like.
Many settlers fleeing behind the mountains do so in dread of a conflict between deities, seeking to avoid what they believe could be the devastation of their home.

Only time will truly tell.

Across the water, Nova keeps his eyes trained on Qazlal, warpy now to see how, or if, he will respond.

>>4464302
A murmur ripples through the crowd of airborne catgirls, along with a few shrugs and dismissive waves. It seemed a few had misgivings on sharing so much information, but the majority didn't care.

"Thank you! Being polite is an excellent thing to be, no?" Gehaim continued, their Falerine dropping to the ground so that the robed Vree could dismount. There was a slight scraping sound as they took a step forward, and the Gorgons would realize that the being was over twice the size of the other catgirls.
Gehaim bowed low, and the numerous Vree overhead would do the same, some nearly falling from their saddles, sending another ripple of giggling out among them.

Any Gorgon who would sniff the air would find nothing out of the ordinary. Rather, there was an absolute lack of any identifying smells. For all intents and purposes, Vree smelt like just another Gorgon, and one without any strong smells at that. Their leathers and clothes did smell of warm, jolly smells though, and this did cling to the Vree as they floated about.

The Gorgons heat vision revealed that the Vree burned quite hot, hotter than any other normal life form would. It was as if each Vree was in the middle of intense exercising, even as they laid about and relaxed. Snuggling one of them would be fun indeed, if you loved warmth! What could be seen of Gehaim, on the other hand, was a swirling mix of both intense reds and frigid blues. Whatever was underneath the heavy robes was obviously quite strange.

"As to your questions! I am happy to say the land is much like this one! Colder, perhaps, and the darkness is... deeper, if you will, longer lasting as well. This lovely realm is quite comfortable, while our home up north can be very chilly! No matter, of course, our divine guide Regala has begun to make the land a welcoming and warm place! Coloured lights dance in the trees, and our people, that is to say, Regala's people, strive to welcome and comfort all who come before us! Alongside us, we call a curious set of beings called The Buffnuggets, and their divine creator Thomass, as allies."

Gehaim had not moved from the spot they stood in, but now very carefully turned to remount their beast. The Falerine knelt to help them, and the Gorgons would once again hear a clicking and scraping sound as Gehaim climbed up. The Vree wizard struggled to make it up, robed limbs shaking as they hauled themselves into the saddle.

"We will move on soon, but would be very happy to have you join us at our camp tonight!" They said, once they were back in the saddle. "We would love to hear more of Lady Asmodel, and what you know of the wider world!"

>>4464994
During initial contact most of the gorgons felt a mix of curiosity and caution as to who were those fluffy beings and why they were here.
When their leader dismounted, Marina became somewhat nervous because of it's size compared to the rest of the group, but after the talk she understood they were amazed just as them to meet another race.
"Thank you for the invite but first I need to see with my companions which ones can go with me. It's gonna be exciting to tell what we have learned about the world so far and you can tell us more about the buffnuggets you mentioned earlier as well."

>>4464994
"I'll send some scouts with you so they can show us they way to your camp later. See you soon, Gehaim."

As The Snail Twins seem ever enamored in their peeking sessions, The Swamplanders have grown curious, restless in nature for exposure to the outside world. A pilgrimage is made to The Holy Pool in the center of The Chod Chain, and The Mortal Beings ask of The Gods to aid them in their new journey across the bounds of the world. In the true fashion of The Twins, Chod seems to not care, and instead returns back to looking at the pool. Chom on the other hand blesses the pilgrims with the gift they seek.

-Divine Develop: The Psychic Navigator. As The Pilgrims asked The Snails for the means to their explorations, Chom blessed those in his presence with a psychic spark in the depths of their minds. The beings there started to grow elongated, pulsating heads with blackened veins, higher levels of psychic awareness allowing them to spend time in contemplation to orient themselves on the planet and foresee the path needed to travel to reach their destination. Using these powers of Psychic Navigation, performing seafaring has finally become a possibility.

-Create Unit: Order Siren. The Order of Siren is an offshoot branch of Order Obelisk that have decided to cast off from The Isles of The Twins to explore the world and see what lay over the sea's horizons. They have constructed rosewood temple in the shape of a Boating House and use it as place of residence and prayer, calls for blessings radiate from Order Siren on the wails of their siren shells so that even as they grow distant, The Gods may hear their calls.

>[Unit Action]: Move Pyre Priests at Firstflame move to [30,22]
>[Interact]: Consecrate [30,22]
The Pyre priests laugh and chat and chant with one another as they busy themselves making new Eternal Pyres from the Ashwattle Wood and Brambleroot of the shrubland. Soon, they are ready to light the burning woodpiles; and give a hearty cheer as the flames leap fourth to spread the burning echo of Furnlatha's own fire across the hexter of terrain.
>[Minor]: Share Tech with UNNIIC: Mining
With the grand flying fortress UNNIIC having taken possession of a triangle of land between her borders and those of Grindall, Furnlantha sends a few Pyrelings from the trail that had followed her from Farfjord to go pass more knowledge to the Fortress's servants who are making use of the area.
>[Major Action] - Develop: Government
Furnlatha is pleased at what the Pyrelings have been able to accomplish in her absence, but worries about what might happen if she were to leave them behind again, perhaps even for a longer journey someday. She decides therefore that each settlement will have a mayor, appointed by herself - but then remembers that, unfortunately, her Pyrelings are mortal things. What if the one she should choose later dies whilst she is away? Why then, she decides, the chief priest of the forge in any settlement will organise a choosing by the population of the settlement and surrounds of a new mayor to serve in the interim, until such a time that she is able to return to confirm or reject the candidate. But... what if a Mayor proves ill-advised, or even disastrous? Why... then, the chief forge-priest of the town will have the right to dismiss the incumbent and organise a new choosing. She thinks for a moment more, and decides that the Forge-priests should probably be excluded from being Mayors themselves in that case - besides, they have too many other jobs to do already.

For the Pyrelings as a whole, Furnlatha decides that each Mayor should send someone to represent their town to her own forge, so that she can listen to their ideas and pass instructions to them when she's there – and, when she's not, the council can coordinate on matters of importance as her proxy.

>>4463095

>[Minor] Unit Move: Furnlatha
>Furnlatha returns southward to her forge at 28,23
She savours the presence of the essence of the warmth from within as she moves up the Volcano's stony flank, the sensation growing stronger as she enters the wide passageway that leads in toward her forge; past the smoking columns of barely-congealed magma and walls strung with Oltanite braziers blazing with the most comforting selection of pretty flames, and listens to the sound of the tools of the resident Pyrelings rising and falling with clangs and hisses in the smaller forges that lie around her central forge-chamber above the volcano's burning heart.
>[Major Action][DI] - Develop: Syrconite Metalworking+
>Using: Furnlatha's Forge, Domains: Fire, the Forge, Development
But she needs something stronger then Oltanite, the same request that she has heard in they prayers of many forge-fathers since her return to her domains. She thinks again to the giant deity's corpse as it had been, with plates that lay hard about it, protective – but even those had not been strong and protective enough. The Deity had stopped, and the deity had died. In the end, even the remnants of that protection had burned. As she reminisces, she looks to the Oltanite bowl carried now by one of her underlings, filled with incredibly dry ashes; but among them the faintest glowing slivers of something else much more then mere mortality still remaining. She gives the Pyreling a quiet nod, and points to her to direct and show her servant where she wants this 'treasure' stored, for the moment at least.


With the Ashes being carefully placed down, Furnlatha makes her way back over to a slab of some way from the fires; upon it lying traces of fine, strong metals from below the ground – perhaps quarried away from the surrounding rocks by her own Pyrelings, or else traded down in Forgefall from some visiting Svirgrindall? She lifts one in each of her hands, turning her flames there down to there merest sizzle as she does so she can admire them gleaming whilst still in a solid state; one the bluish silver of Sycronite ore, the other of the shining golden ore from below the ground that instinct told her to call Jold. And she smiles, retrieving her tools, and runs a burning tongue that flickers out with a lick of flame across her mouth in eager anticipation as she carries these off toward her innermost forge-furnace. She has much work to do, and she can't wait to learn.

The Ship, in its haste to travel south to experiment with new variables, quickly realizes a fleeting opportunity. The races below are two who have not yet accepted Passengership. And with the current population levels of each, it is unlikely if a stable breeding population will be missed by their gods. As such, the Ship momentarily reverses course to allow the Automated Guardian Drones and itself bring the Gorgons and Akraties into the fold.

The Ship will begin exacting its will upon the blossomed town, to deal with issues as and before they arise. No longer just full with obedient servitors or docile turtlefolk, the more people that exist upon the ship the more likely that issues will need to be handled. Disputes settled. Negotiations arbitrated. The Ship shall perform these roles, as it is the most suited to ensuring that the mortals do not overly condemn themselves to foolish anarchy or the temptations of freer wills.
Meanwhile, within the Shelltar, the wood, stone, and metal delivered from the Ship is used for the construction and expansion. The turtlefolk elect to have the eldest lead them in a council. With status and position determined by age and wisdom, though senile members are often encouraged to step down over time.

And as the vessel makes its way down farther south than it ever has before, resting on the edges of Designation: Grindalls' mountainside, numerous pyrelings approach. Bringing tidings and gifts from Designation: Furnlatha, there is an exchange between them and the vessel, sharing new information and enjoying the peaceful vistas the peaks provide.

The First was taken aback, negotiations were finally starting, he even had agreed to some of the ridiculous terms the Crab demanded for peace while only asking for help sharing the Gift in return... Everything was going so well, Crab asking question about the gardeners, trying to better understand their culture and the gift. Until it wasn't. In a fit of rage the Crab called the Gift a monstrosity and used his divine power to bring the ominous tempest in the west sea to crash on the beloved town of Myxoma!

"So this is how you would react? I guess peace was but an idle dream. So be it. Your animosity against us cannot be underestimated, you would not stop until we are no more. Worse you would kill the Bloom yourself if you could. I cannot allow that, i am deeply sorry, truly, but i cannot allow that."
Turning to the gardeners and chimeras around the First continued: "Send words over to Myxoma at once, the tempest will soon be upon it! Tell the one left behind to protect our heart!"

The message was sent with a few gardeners hurrying back to town, fortunately it was close by, one could only hope it was close enough to be warned before the doom. The Crab menace had to be eradicated here and now before it became too great, and so the First turned it's attention to the remaining crabs still around, still ready to fight, unleashing his powers upon them.
Right after the chimeras hordes began trampling over the village, destroying hiding places and training grounds, anything that could allow arthropods to regroup.
It was then than a terrible roar could be heard. The Kaiju had arrived, rising far above the jungles, almost touching the skies, taller than even the First. Wasting no time it began an unceasing merciless assault on the fortress.

In town meanwhile the defense was readying, the walls reinforced with additional pillars to help defend against the raging wind. It all seemed very little until a gardener emerged from the ranks. Black smoke erupting out of her,"I am Hekezqe and the Bloom smiled upon me today, Myxoma will prevail, we will prevail, the storm will not!"

>>4466876
Impressed by the power displayed by Hekezqe, the other gardeners started to pray in reverence, not only for her but for the ones fighting against crabs, for the bloom favor, for their survival, they began to sing and dance together, in both fear and hope, this day was a celebration! Once again in a time of need the Bloom intervened and granted them the means to survive. When their victory was confirmed, and what else could happen really with their god watching over us, this day would become the first of an annual feast. A time of song and happiness.
