>>5666360 You also must vote for a God to be revealed and a god to be sacrificed, while all your actions must be in one post you can vote with a separate post if you want. All posts must link to the previous QM post to count.
On reveal, a god's faction becomes public knowledge.
On sacrificed, a god dies, leaving no body, and the faction they belong to is revealed.
Basic abilities
>Create (Each creation gives you a vote) Only available in the first two turnings. Empowered: N/A
>Derive (Draw from a creation to make a new creation, the creation gives a vote to whoever made it and whoever connects to the original creation) After the first two turnings only. Empowered: the Derived creation gives you an extra vote.
>Smite (ruin a god's creation, it no longer generates votes) Only available after the first turning, cannot target a newly made creation. Empowered: Obliterates the target removing it from the game
>Alter(Change a current creation. This also changes who gets the votes from it, your choice who gets the votes) Empowered: Your choice generates an extra vote
>Bless(Increases the vote weight of a creation) Does not have to target your own creations. Empowered: Protects your target, even from obliteration
The first two posts get their abilities empowered. A random post will be empowered.
Altering or Deriving from a god's corpse gives an extra +1 vote. If two gods smite it, it is obliterated.
Aspect Roles first come first serve, only one of each role unless stated otherwise.
>Lady Add +2 to someone else's vote
Ascent condition: Be part of a winning vote three times.
Special ability: Condemn (Once per game make all votes count double against a god)
>Lord +2 to your vote
Ascent condition: Be part of a winning vote three times.
Special ability: Denounce (Once per game hold a vote to sacrifice an additional God, even the Godhead or Head of Gods can be chosen. Gods can abstain this.)
>Father Ascent condition: Have three living children.
Special ability: Sire (You cannot create or derive, instead you pick a deity or creation to have a child with) Your children give +2 votes to you and +1 to the target. If your target is a deity you may choose to reveal them, but then no child will be born.
Smiting your own children gives you +1 vote
>Mother Alternate Win Condition: Have your monsters devour three blessed creations. Once they do your monsters devour a god of your choosing, you win and leave the game.
Ascent condition: Have four living children
Special ability: Birth (You cannot create or derive, instead pick a deity or creation to have a child with)
A child with a deity gives +1 to both parties.
A child with a creation is a monster giving +1 to you and -1 to all connected parties.
Each Turning you may have your monsters devour a blessed creation, obliterating it.
2/?
Steller !!+bArls/N5bg
>>5666365 >Trickster Alternate Win condition: Get sacrificed at least once, by hook or by crook.
Alternate Lose condition: Get revealed
Freely pick a faction at any time, except when majority voted to be revealed
When you are sacrificed for the first time, you may choose someone else, including the Head of Gods or Godhead to be sacrificed. You win and leave the game.
Special ability: Trick (Swap the factions of two gods, revealed or unrevealed)
>Herald Ascent condition: Reveal the Word with your ability. You will ascend even if there is already a Head of Gods or God Head.
Alternate Win Condition: If you are the Word and reveal yourself you win and leave the game.
Special ability: Behold! (Two times per game, randomly reveal a god from a faction different to your own or reveal a god of your choice)
>Chthonian All dead creations each grant you +1 vote
You may freely use the abilities and fulfill the alternative win conditions or ascension conditions of dead gods.
>Celestial Alternate Win Condition: Have two Gods in your heaven, you win and you leave the game.
Special ability: Consecrate (You may send a dead god or creation to your celestial heaven. A creation gives +1 vote, a god +2. Those dwelling in your heaven cannot be touched by other gods)
>Elemental Alternate Win Condition: Kill at least two gods at once. You win, you and all elementals leave the game.
Special ability: Imbue (you add your element to a creation, giving +1 to you and any connected parties. You may Imbue an additional creation for each one you have imbued)
Special ability: Detonate (Obliterate all imbued creations leaving elementals that give you +2
>Maker You cannot be killed, but you can be sacrificed.
Cannot create, derive or alter, instead...
Special ability: Make (creates an unliving object that gives +2 votes or a cursed object -2 to others) One use each round is a free action. If a god other than artisan has zero votes, they die. You cannot create cursed objects in the first turning.
You cannot vote.
>Violence Ascent condition: Kill three gods, you win but you don't leave the game, instead your only action is a random kill. Even if you die, you've still won.
Special ability: Kill (instead of taking any action you can kill a god, but on the third use, you kill randomly with yourself included as a target)
You get a free smite each round. You can combine two smites to obliterate a target.
>Silence Special ability: Mute (prevent a special ability from being used)
>Ruin Alternate Win Condition: If you and the Word are present at the end, you win and everyone else loses. If you are the word and you are sacrificed, you win. If you and a Godhead or Head of Gods is present at the end, they lose and you win.
Special ability: Foil (prevent one or multiple ascensions. You can do this two times)
3/?
Steller !!+bArls/N5bg
>>5666367 >Savant Alternate Win Condition: Reveal the Word (including yourself if you are the word)
Special ability: Wisdom (pick a god and QM will tell you a faction they aren't part of)
>Corruption Ascent condition: Kill a god
Alternate win condition: Alter all creations, all other gods lose
You cannot create or derive. Instead you get a free Alter. When you alter a creation it gives the gods connected to it apart from you -1 votes. You can alter equal to the number of creations you altered. If a god other than artisan has zero votes, they die.
>Strategies for Playing Obviously you want to win, but if you picked a killing or alternate win role for example, people might not want you around, deflect onto other killing or winning roles or claim that you'll go for a faction win. A good idea is promising to form a Godhead with others, you can always betray before forming the Godhead after all. Be careful though, since if your win doesn't make you leave the game, you can still lose to the word
Now pick your roles and state your first actions! There is no reveal or sacrifice vote in the first turning. Your first actions will likely be two creates of course.

>>5666383 Alright so, I'm a Maker, let's see if I understand my role
I can Smite (After the first turning, and not a newly made creation), Bless, or Make an object (Cursed only after the first turning).
Each turning I can take three actions: one Make, one Make, Bless or Smite, and I can Make again as a free action. Or do I have the two actions the other gods have?
Steller !!+bArls/N5bg
>>5666388 The two actions the other gods have, since make is replacing create/derive which is most gods' free action.
So, a free make.
Then your choice of make, smite or bless
This may need tuning if your ability to kill other gods ends up too potent. But no rules will change until we complete a run.

It commands the dead and the dead obeys it. It acknowledges itself as Hell's Monarch. It waits patiently for others to join the fetid waters of river Styx, to harness them for itself. It is not malicious in its desires, it simply knows that all die in time.
It is not adverse to life, so it begins by creating. Twice are creations made, it is happy with its work as it knows they will live well and die even better.

While our three current gods posted an image for their god, a text description is also acceptable, in case anyone wants to play but their terabyte drive of tasteful dolphin pictures and other pictures died. Or they happen to be phoneposting and don't keep images on their phone.

>>5666540 >>5666753 >>5666769 >>5666772 Next run I'll have gods suggest and vote for the foundation of world creation In the first turning my hunger is weakest. My children flee my presence, joining hands they weave a world carpet of many patterns that flies through the void.
Upon that carpet they create wonderous works...
Levnadsätare the Chthonian, dark in form, bright in beakmask is first to create, it splits the carpet-world with a river of death, Hellstyx. Next it brings forth thin birds of darkness the Rukh, pale in beak that stalk the river, waiting to drag the dead to their watery rest. Will you escape death while reigning over it my child?
Most virile of the gods Pater the Father comes upon Savant and Silence. With sweet words he charms, with mighty power he dominates. For Pater, children are wealth and power, from stoic Savant a muscled brute is sired, but within the warrior-son's eyes dwells wisdom greater than Pater and Savant. Brawn I name him as a gift. His face is clouded in sorrow, for he knows in his wisdom his fate is not his own.
Soundless Pater and Silence did tussle, and their union resulted in Beauty. A daughter from which the carpet-world's concept of beauty is formed.
Beauty and Brawn take shelter by Pater's mighty legs. But Pater my child, in your lust for kin, will you lay your hand on them?
In good cheer Oroiros from nothing forges two grand treasures to celebrate the first creations and their escape from my presence.
A marble table that could span past the carpet world, ah, but only briefly would my children sit in mahogany chairs by it, peace will not last long. As the gift was Pater's he sat at the head with his two children.
For Levnadsätare, from nothing Oroiros bent a twisted band. A crown of the dead, a symbol of authority and might. Would these gifts ensure Oroiros's survival?
By the banks of Hellstyx The Herald wept, knowing what was to come. His tears were as seeds and sprouted into a grand tree that split the carpet-world from the void, but the tree was without leaves and red as blood. Gazing at this tree, he intended to behold the nature of one of the gods, but Silence foiled him.
The Elemental created a blue crystal that circled amid the red branches, it created a blue dragon that would chase the crystal, but never catch up.
A teal ocean forms on the carpet by the will of Savant, and scrying in it, it becomes revealed that Violence is not of Flesh.
After foiling the Herald's revelation, and bedding with Pater. Silence unsteadily wanders to the teal ocean. There silence vomits up a ruby serpent whose coils fill the ocean.
Watching all this, Corruption is filled with spite, for she cannot create.
Brick by brick a tower of amber is built by Ruin opposite the red tree. It pierces beyond the canopy, and Ruin places a Troll of Amber atop it to watch for my coming.
1/?
Steller !!+bArls/N5bg
>>5667139 Rolling about, Trickster rubs her hands and an adorable tiny rouge duck comes out, fearing not the serpent it swims in the ocean. At this sight Trickster laughs and the laughter becomes a Rouge Moon that never moves, tangled in the branches of the red tree.
At the foot of the amber tower, a mustard maze forms by will of the Lady, she waves her hand and mustard beasts of many shapes fill the maze.
Singing, the Lord brings forth fields of green and trees to cover the world-carpet.
Amid the singing the Mother steals the seed of violence, and from Mother's flowers a white sphinx springs forth, flying up to the moon and settling to sleep. Mother comforts Herald, and from her lips their child falls, a man with a white hounds head. He looks around and begins a journey to the amber tower.
Violence twitching with desire to commit her namesake bursts a blood vessel and the purple blood forms a pool at her feet. She spits in the pool and wild purple elves with manic looks in their eyes rise in the pool.
The celestial considers itself above all else and fashions a chariot that is a castle, and creates a host of angels to pull the chariot and itself across the skies.
So did the first turning come to an end, and sensing my Hunger, the gods take council to sacrifice one of their number to keep me at bay. So too do they promise to reveal the nature of one of their number

The second turning begins, a god must be voted to be revealed and a god must be voted to be sacrificed. More actions can be done since there are creations to target.
Anyone can take over an NPC god or write in actions for any god, but a claimed role's poster will overwrite any suggestions. So if an anon could pick actions for Pater for example, but if Pater posts, the anon's post will be ignored. If you don't want to take over a god you can still add +1 vote to any vote.
Narratively the second turning is where the fun begins, since the creations will react to changes.
NPC actions will done later today.

It Blesses the water with its touch, as it cares deeply for its creation. It wishes for it to become an immutable factor of life, to meld itself with the world as is known.
With this done, it allows one more new creation to be brought into existence. In one strong raise of its left hand, it erects the Hall of Elysium. A place where death's denizens may reside separate from the river, in peace. This would be from whence it would spawn more creations, but also for where it would store the departed gods. It knew the sacrifice was coming, it only hoped it could give a peaceful afterlife to the soon-to-be deceased.

It even gave me two excuses at the same time. >Bless Brawn >Make Brand of Maker's Sin (Cursed) (Gift to Corruption) The Maker takes upon Pater's invitation to have a seat at his table. To see one's creation being used, and to use it oneself is always a source of accomplishment.
But it was then that he saw Corruption move to strike upon Brawn, sitting next to Pater as his firstborn. Oroiros feels a sense of kinship with Brawn, as his art of creation requires both strength and wit. So a blessing was put upon the smitte son brow, to make so his skin is resolute as steel.
This attempt however, brought the Maker attention to the actions of the younger siblings who squabbled among themselves, acting to destroy and change each others creation, but the Artisan did not care, as those are necessary in the process of forging a masterpiece, and no creation elicited a sense of protection as Brawn did.
However, gazing upon Corruption's second deed, the true nature of the alteration was revealed. It was a spiteful change, with no desire for enhancement. This was the greatest sin in the crafter's eyes, one that needed punishment.
Oroiros was taken by an fey mood, locked in the forge fueled by disgust and hatred. A branding iron was made, molten by rage and condemnation. Thus did the mountains erupt, and the Maker fall upon the Corruption, branding the crimes upon their very being.

>>5667163 >>5667382 >>5667403 >>5667438 >>5667448 >>5667866 In the second turning the seeds of disorder spouted.
It began again with the will of Levnadsätare the Chthonian, for of all the gods its heart was kindest, and it knew what was to follow.
Reaching down from the banks it placed a finger in the river Hellstyx, and darker luster did spread from it. Heavy now was the waters of the river of death. The Rukh delighted in this, working with extra vigor to collect the dead of mustard beasts and purple elves, for these beings were mortal.
Then, turning from the waters, Levnadsätare raised its left hand high and ground of the carpet-world weaved itself into a grand longhouse a building covered with statues in repose, the Hall of Elysium, where dead other than incidental mortals could dwell.
In the skies, red sheep like clouds formed, casting sorrowful rain down, for the Herald's heart still wept. Amber troll took shelter, savage elves danced and mustard beasts wailed.
Yet though Amber troll was safe from rain inside the tower, it found itself gripped by the hands of a goddess. In darkness did Mother ravish the troll and birthed from this union was an abominable scaled white wurm, eyeless and loathsome.
Lord had been sleeping inside the tower and had woken to the horrible deeds of the troll and Mother. He created an army of green gnomes and drove both them and their child out of the tower. He wished to denounce Mother for her deeds, but Silence had stolen his voice.
White houndhead on his journey to the tower paused and wove clothes from the green fields, but in spite of rain he pressed on.
Both the duck and the serpent welcomed the rain, and the teal ocean expanded, but it was changed not by the rain.
Amid the swirling sheep-clouds Herald once again divined, and this time, he beheld that Savant is of VOID.
Then came a wind of blue, howling through all. If most had welcomed rain, none welcomed this howling biting gale. Yet the Elemental was pleased with its work.
Carried by the wind was its power, and the fields of green became stained in blue.
Savant was floating in the ocean of teal pondering as usual, and from this pondering birthed a race of turtlemen. In pondering Savant determined that Ruin was not the Word.
Soundlessly a ruby mountain appeared to tower over all, and it blocked the path of houndhead. He could only go around, not daring face the silent mountain. Grand was the work of silence, and her will was set against the Lord.
Ruin brought forth slimes and moss within the mustard maze, and both fed on the detritus left by the mustard beasts.
The trickster was playing in the teal ocean, she blew and a giant ruby trout appeared to devour the duck, but she took pity on her beloved duck and blessed it. Yet as she played it was Pater who came upon her. He as ever desired more children, and Trickster was fair and lively. Too lively she transformed into a trout herself and fled. Pater turned into a duck and chased.

Steller !!+bArls/N5bg
>>5667894 How many animals did they turn into? Even I Fate lost count, and yet they ended lovemaking in their original forms.
From Trickster's mouth came Laughter a young man with scales of fish and bill of duck. He hid right away on the small of Pater's back, who could not find him till Brawn pulled the sniggering dolt off.
Trickster for her part ran off as if nothing had happened, she had not a care, indeed I could see she did not even fear being devoured by my Hunger.
The lady was in her maze growing mustard roses and a queen to rule them when Pater, insatiable, fell upon her. Her protestations turned to embarrassed delight and upon a bed of rose thorns she birthed Shameless, a lady as elegant as the lady, almost a copy of her mother, save that her hair was the petals of a mustard rose.
Aboard his chariot castle, Celestial glowered at the rouge moon. He did not like how its luminance rivaled his own. With twist of chitinous hand he shaped the moon anew, turning it into a fortress of silver and rouge. With a leap from his chariot he entered what he considered his new home.
Finding it to his liking his mood soured as he saw the green trees from the fortress. He did not like the view. Thus he clapped and silver lightning stuck each any every tree. All the other living creations fled in panic and wailed at the judgement of a god.
White Houndhead barely escaped death as he had been resting beneath a tree.
Celestial laughed at the mayhem he produced, but that laughter died as something landed on the fortress.
Violence had come.
No resistance could be offered in a mere instance he was torn limb from limb, the pieces were tossed into Hellstyx where they floated into the Hall of Elysium.
From her shadow murderous wargs flowed out filling the fortress moon. Finding no life other than their own, they spent their years killing each other.
Mother snuck aboard the now ownerless chariot castle, and unseen by all save I, her deeds there resulted in the birth of a monstrous golem. There she slept a while with her children and the terrified amber troll.
Then, sensing my presence, my hunger, the gods gathered. Corruption however while others traveled to the infinity table, turned his gaze to the red tree, and he twisted it, turning it to a mass of pink tentacles that would from time to time abduct the unwary below.
Yet, that would be all Corruption would accomplish, for when the gods had gathered, he liked not how Brawn, son of Pater looked at him. Those eyes. As if they were looking at a dead god. A mocking gaze. So gathering his power he smote a mighty blow.
Yet it was Oroiros who blessed Brawn, hardening his skin, sheilding him from godly blow. Then in a great fury, he pulled a burning brand from his chest, forged by disgust and hate. Soundless, the ruby mountain erupted as Oroiros placed the molten condemnation on Corruption.

All interruptions finished, the gods held council to determine who would be sacrificed to stave off my Hunger. They held council to to reveal the nature of one among them, fearing the Word and the intentions of the different origins.

Levnadsätare can use the Celestial's win condition to bring three dead gods to his heaven, which would be Elysium. So he can Consecrate two dead gods as a special ability this turning and the next, and wait until the last one to do the third, so we have more actions.
Pater will ascend into Head of Gods next turn if Ruin doesn't cuck him, so he can win even if his faction loses.
Then we just need to find out which faction I am, and make sure that it has the majority when the game ends.
Oh, and we need to find and get rid of the Word. Which hopefully isn't me or Pater. (I think it can be Lev however, since if he uses Celestial's win condition, he leaves the game.)
We can smite creations, and then I can curse the god to die, then we can sacrifice another one in the same turn.
We need to get rid of Ruin in this turning, so they don't stop Pater from ascending. Then we need to get rid of Silence so they can't stop special abilities from being used. We need to keep Savant around as long as we can because that's an extra faction reveal per turning.
Also, we might need to smite Mother's creation next turning if Ruin stops Pater's ascension, because then she would become the Head of Gods instead.

It ponders on its actions for the Turning, before settling on its desires. Feeling sorrowful for the desecrated Celestial, it allows the dead god to ascend upwards into its Heaven, through the entrance of Elysium.
Alongside this, it shows mercy upon the Silver Angels which had been left behind. It Alters them to visages of reapers. They now don silver cloaks with skeletal wings, as Silver Deaths. It shall give them shelter and home, it will give them work. But it asks they be kind, not cruel in their duties.
For voting, it passes on that Maker should be revealed. This time, noting Ruin's choice, it motions for them to be sacrificed. It does not approve of being threatened.

It was while Herald spun specters from the wool of the cloudsheep that Pater appeared before him. By his authority Pater turned the Herald into a maiden and took her on the backs of the cloud sheep. Herald could not resist, but did not resist as she beheld, understanding the ways of women in copulation that the Lady was of VOID.
She bore a daughter born without lower half named Sorrow. Then Herald returned to being a man, returned to his weeping.
Pater bore Sorrow upon his back and left.
Watching all, jealous Silence smote Herald's beloved cloud sheep and no more did rain cover the carpet world, the plants grew weaker, only gaining water from the clouds from the teal ocean.
Pater, Sorrow still on his back climbed the mountain of Silence, there he comforted her and she bore him another child, but where the daughter Beauty had been fair, this son was foul. Ugly his name and features, but to Pater, it was his child, so Ugly followed him down the mountain. Having been favoured by Pater, Silence set her will against Ruin, sensing ill from her.
From the blue crystal Elemental observed all creation, and woe to Houndhead, he caught that god's eye. It imbued the pilgrim godchild with power of blue. White Houndhead no more, but Houndhead of blue and white. Though he felt power in his limbs, Houndhead feared the gift of the Elemental.
Then did Elemental stain the green gnomes with its power, they bowed and erected altars in its name, not knowing what Elemental truly desired.
Lord let out a roar of outrage, but the dwarves he had grown from the gnomes were not tainted by blue.
Satisfied Elemental struck its own blue dragon a blow, and from the wound bled wyverns to cause chaos upon the carpet-world. Bitter were the godless purple elves struggles against the wyverns.
Yet while Elemental did bring forth calamity of wyverns, Savant gathered the waters of her ocean and formed spirits to aid her calculations, and with the aid of these undines and studying my features, she determined that Maker was not of DREAM.
Shameless was playing with the other children of Pater when an old purple elf crone came before her. The crone offered to gift one of the balls from her wares as tribute to a daughter of Pater. Shameless was enchanted by all the lovely balls, and she picked out the one she thought most beautiful, a replica of the silver-rouge moonfort.
But as the children of Pater played, tradedy struck. Once when the ball was thrown to Shameless, it grew larger and larger, it was no replica at all! Shameless was crushed by the moonfort, and the old crone transformed, revealing itself as Ruin!
1/?
Steller !!+bArls/N5bg
>>5668764 Yet, Ruin quickly fled when it sensed the will of Silence preventing it from foiling the Ascension of Pater.
A giant hand plucked the moonfort from the ground, it was Echidna the Mother, grown to cover the skies. She put the Moonfort inside her, and all witnessed her dark union. First came out the moon-fort, then following that was another monster.
A new moon. A sphere of tentacles with white eyes, casting moonlight and madness down on the carpet-world's denizens.
Returning to a smaller size, Enchidna called upon her monstrous children to hunt the blessed rouge duck. The golem and wurm cornered it, but it was the youngest and greatest of her monsters that caught the blessed duck and tore it in three, feeding itself and it's siblings.
Trickster merely laughed at this turn of affairs.
All gods felt it then, the swelling of power in Enchidna and Pater. They gathered to witness the forming of a Godhead! Involuntarily their bodies entwined, neither gaining dominance over the other, then their bodies withered away, first Pater turned to ash, then Enchidna revealing an egg that pulsed with power. A crack and the egg broke and revealed was a blasphemous form, Mother and Father both, bountiful in aspect, but this deity drove its hands into its chest and pulled, separating into the familiar forms of Pater and Enchidna.
They were one but separate. Separate but one. A Godhead of Family. Yet, of flesh, void, dream or word one could not tell what they were.
All save one where in awe of the Godhead, Trickster was merely rolled on the ground rolling and laughing. She had played a trick on Mother, swapping her Origin with Elemental before the godhead fusion. Not only that but she kept a feather of the duck too!
She blew on the feather and it became a beautiful huge swan. Slapping her own bum at Enchidna, she leapt on the back of the swan and flew away still laughing.
Seeing this behaviour and disrespect, she condemned Trickster, hoping to curry favour with the Godhead. She returned then to her mustard maze and using the flesh of countless mustard beasts sculpted a mustard minotaur. A tyrant king for the mustard maze!
In celebration of the ascend Oroiros weaved a white robe with gold accents from the giggles of Laughter, who had tried really hard not to laugh at his mother's antics.
All of this disturbance had reminded Lord of Enchidna's cavorting with the amber troll. And so, with a clap of his hands he smote the troll, turning it into a dead tree. He left to gaze at my form and so burn the image of mating from his mind.
One did not attend the ascension at all. Levnadsätare was in its Hall of Elysium, with its own mercies and plans. It stroked the corpse of
Celestial, pieced together from the scattered parts.
It drew upon the power of Celestial, consecrating the deity. Thus the hall was a physical place that could be destroyed and a heaven that could not be touched.

Steller !!+bArls/N5bg
>>5668765 Alive again in afterlife, now powerless Celestial bowed to Levnadsätare, Monarch of Death and Life after Death! The Afterlife Deity Levnadsätare!
The masterless angel host was Levnadsätare's next objective, they still pointlessly dragged the castle chariot through the air, but newly empowered Levnadsätare altered them. The flesh and feathers burned from the bones of their wings, the smoke formed silver cloaks to shroud their bodies and when the agony faded, they knew their new purpose, guides of the dead. Psychopomps of Levnadsätare, the Silver Deaths!
Gentle were their hands as they led the dead into the Halls of Elysium!
But their first delivery was not souls, but a silver throne made by Oroiros for the Afterlife Monarch!
Years passed and the third turning came to an end with the increase of my Hunger. The gods gathered once more around the Infinity table to sacrifice one of their number...

Watching its Rukh fly amidst the air, it can't help but realize how lonely it must be in the skies. So for the beast it Derives from it a partner, an ally for it to mingle and celebrate its wings with.
Next it will Alter the purple elves left behind by the fallen Violence. It brings unto them elements of Death, turning them monochrome and thin. These would become Devil Elves, malicious creatures meant to torment the worst of sinners until the soul's penance was paid. Only when a soul was reformed would the Devil Elves let them be taken by Silver Deaths, leading them to the Hall as reformed spirits.
Seeing the votes, it was most curious of itself and voted as well to reveal itself to the world. However, for sacrificing it counters the Lady by voting for her.

>>5668793 >>5668981 >>5669090 >>5669114 >>5669142 In the fourth turning unknowing of the calamities to come, Oroiros the Maker did complete two mighty works which he gifted to Enchidna the Mother. An ever flowering living wreath of all the plants of the carpet-world.
The other gift was most beloved by her monsterous children, a cornucopia no bigger than a thumb, intricate and ingenious in construction, from which flesh and fruits of any type and size could be spilled.
She invited him to dine, for her children had caught the swan of the now departed Trickster. She had just blessed it in preparation for feeding.
Oroiros politely declined.
Elsewhere the herald sat surrounded by his specters alas for him, his powers of divination were spent, and as he sought to create mimics and goblins from his specters, he understood not the blue taint seeping into them.
Neither did the Lord fully understand, he merely supposed Elemental coveted his green dwarves, and he stood considering what to derive from his dwarves.
Silence saw the blue seep into her mountain and serpent, but she did not care.
White-blue Houndhead had at last reached the end of his pilgrimage, fighting through the mustard maze and defeating the minotaur tyrant in single combat. He stood at the top of the amber tower, now ownerless. What he stared at was my mighty form, grown close to the carpet-world. He feared not for his mind or flesh. He knew in his heart he was not long for this world.
'Why did you bring these gods into being, why do you allow them to squabble, and why must you devour them all' he asked.
'Out of love I made them, out of love they freely choose their fate, but as much as you are prisoner to the fate they give you, I am Fate itself, they prisoner to my will, my will prisoner to Hunger. Look upon the Void, even now I hold it back, even now it fills me, thus empty I Hunger eternal. The cost of life is life!'
Bitterly did Houndhead laugh at my reply and tossed himself from the tower, but he did not escape his fate.
Shining blue filled the world as Elemental detonated those imbued with his power, and even Herald and Lord exploded, consumed as fuel by that selfsame element. The other gods could only watch as Elemental fled my presence and abandoned the creation of the gods. Yet, it was clear to all in that moment that Elemental was of DREAM. Perhaps it never had faith that by creation, revelation and sacrifice they could avoid my Hunger.
So it joins the others of my children who wander evermore one step beyond my maws. It can be said to have escaped me, Fate.
In his final moments Lord tried to denounce Enchidna the Mother, but Silence's will was against him, having been foiled in this he twisted his last act of creation, creating a green plague that would till the end torture the denizens of the carpet-world.
Herald was more gracious in defeat, though redcap goblins and mimics would still give much vexation to the denizens of the carpet-world.

>>5669931 In the ages that followed Savant tended her teal ocean which had suffered greatly from the explosion of the ruby serpent. She drew mermaids from the undines to restore wounded waters, and watching the years of restoration she calculated that Pater was not of FLESH.
Silence on her part slept upon a race of mute giants she had made from the mountain before it exploded.
Cutting herself further off from the world, the Lady went deeper into her maze, deriving deep dungeons from it, spreading them like roots of a tree. From her still wounded Minotaur Tyrant she made a fierce gorgon to watch over the dungeons.
Pater sought Silence out upon her bed of giants, but for all his prowess, she was of course silence but this time she was passionless like a fish on a chopping block. Still, she bore two children to Pater. Omen and Dread were these mighty twins, red in body, but for heads they had fists, yet for all this they saw and could speak a little more than their mother.
The turning came to an end with the merciful actions of Levnadsätare, Chthonian and Celestial, though he consecrated no more gods.
Instead, seeing the loneliness of the Rukh, companions in the form of shadowy ravens that would lounge on their heads were made from their feathers.
Levnadsätare then took pity on the godless purple elves. All around the carpet world they cried out in agony as the power of the Monarch of the Afterlife filled them. They grew thin like the starving, no longer needing food, and their purple was drained from them, leaving only blacks, whites and grey. Perhaps a few heretics would stay by the purple pool pining for their lost goddess, but the rest served Levnadsätare as his Devil Elves, torturers harrowing the unrighteous of their sins before they would be admitted to the Hall of Elysium.
Yet while Levnadsätare judged mortals, the judgement of gods had come again. So, much diminished by Elemental's treachery, they gathered around a table mostly filled with the spawn of the Godhead.

>>5670448 Well, Mother can win by devouring a blessed creation and then killing another god, but then she leaves the game.
So if we sacrifice Silence this turning, next turns she uses her special action to do just that, killing Savant in the process. And you consecrate another dead god in the same turn, also winning and leaving the game.
That would then leaves only Pater and me. Then I think Pater wins by being the only Head of Gods left, and maybe me too If I luck out and be in the same faction as him.

Just as Greek Myth spoke of Gia Fostering children to beat the tyrant Cronos so would Echinda do the same in order stop silence from preventing her from protecting the smith.
Echinda calls to the gods “if I am word I shall leave in order to protect the gentleman the smith. All who oppose me shall face a mother’s wrath.

>>5669960 >>5670534 >>5670544 >>5670993 In the fifth turning...
It began with a simple calculation. Savant determined that Silence was not of FLESH. From that moment Savant in her wisdom knew no peace. She did not believe any would believe the conclusion she calculated.
Still in case all was not lost, but she herself was, she made from the oceans' waters a mighty knight upon a horse of seaweed. An ocean paladin.
Oroiros, in depths of despair concerning his fate for he believed doom stalked his steps, saw this creation from afar. Inspired he stirred the waters of the ocean and made a mighty palace in its depths for Savant. Finishing that work, he cast net into the ocean and caught waves, weaving them into a dress for wise Savant.
In the years that passed Silence remained on her mute giants her will set against Enchidna the Mother, fearing that part of the Godhead more than any other. From the sweat and flesh of the giants she forms a foul shoggoth and set it loose to grieve all, but the ocean, the maze and Hellstyx it did not dare go.
Pater came to her after she did this, and in contrast to their lovemaking before, Silence was ravenous as if she meant to eat Pater alive. Yet the children she bore were more grim than before. A woman with no head but tentacles and a gaping maw that split down to her navel her name was Horror. The other looked fair from one side, but the other was a mass of crawling vermin. Let it be known his name was Betrayal.
Seeing all from its throne Levnadsätare let out a centuries long sigh. After a long contemplation, the titled Afterlife Monarch rose from its gifted Throne and walked amongst the dead gods it had feasting in the Hall of Elysium. Though it had many regrets to being unable to stop my descent, it resigned itself to instead escape me and one day form another plan to finally end the Hunger that consumes me. Looking upon the corpses of Trickster and Corruption stiff and sluggish in their movements, it sighs and chooses to dictate their fate on a simple coin flip. It produced an obol from its cloth and flicked it into the air, watching as it slowly flied up. Were it to land on Heads it would consecrate Trickster, but Tails would mean it instead consecrates Corruption. Yet I being Fate know and favour Trickster, for she like Levnadsätare feared me not.
While the obol span, it altered the ownerless blue dragon. Needing something to protect the Hall in its absence, it chained the Blue dragon to the Hall's roof. The skin and meat of the beast was melted away to reveal a ferocious Bone Dragon with an ebony skeleton and ivory skull. Levnadsätare let out a bitter laugh, thinking of its title as "Merciful".
With that laugh, it held out a palm and the obol fell there, in spite of having been spinning elsewhere. Heads it was, and the eyes of Trickster's corpse twinkled as she was made living in an afterlife.
The afterlife monarch gave a bow as its power swelled, and all left saw through all to see it.

>>5671344 The heavenly Hall of Elysium drew further from the physical Hall of Elysium, out of my reach and so did Levnadsätare, the Merciful, Monarch of Death and Life After Death, the Afterlife Deity, Chthonian, and Celestial, make its exist from the cruel game imposed by my nature.
In a heaven like a DREAM the dead would become living, forever freed from my Hunger safe in the arms of Levnadsätare and Trickster (who without asking declared herself Queen of heaven and wife of Levnadsätare). Celestial would spend his time ignoring Tricksters antics and playing games of intellect with the dwellers of the Heavenly Hall of Elysium. When he wasn't fishing that is. Yes, in life after death I cannot reach, for tormented by gnawing VOID though I am, I live still.
At the end of the turning Echidna did send her monsters to kidnap the fair Beauty and the foul Ugly. She laid with both at once and after the deed she laid an egg and a seed. In the egg, the blood of Ugly flowed. In the seed the vitality of beauty. Nurturing the egg, she planted the seed in the Rouge-Silver Moonfort. The seed grew to become a massive alraune, as beautiful as Beauty, but the runners of this plant demi-goddess would cause much chaos.
From the egg hatched a new dragon. Lord of Greed, Mammugh uglier than Ugly he made his lair on the blue crystal and stole riches from all, none could stop his raids.
So then did the fifth turning come to an end and my Hunger howled once more. Fewer still were the deities left...

By wisdom, Maker is not of DREAM, Pater the Father is not of FLESH!, Silence is not FLESH!
By will of Savant and Enchidna...
Silence smiled, and she turned to Pater.
"I am the Word, how I longed to devour you all silencing my Hunger"
By will of Savant and Enchidna, Silence was sacrificed! The word returns to me, unfulfilled.
"Oh how vexing it was that you were fed to Fate one after the other, if only my Aspect had been grander you would have made me whole, ah... but on the cusp of harmony to resist our maker, will betrayal be the end? How many will join me?"
Leaving nothing behind in my consumption, she is obliterated.
2 flesh and 2 Void remain!
Savant is of VOID
Pater the Father is not of FLESH, thus, though unrevealed must be of VOID
Enchidna though unrevealed can only be of FLESH
Oroiros the Maker can only though unrevealed can only be of FLESH
>Savant of Teal Void From the teal ocean she derives lakes and ladies of the lakes to give hope to those tormented by the horrors of the Carpet-world
In compassion, she votes to sacrifice herself
Yet, will Enchidna betray all of creation? For she could devour the blessed, murder a deity and leave all behind in a tie, thus dooming all creation to Fate's Hunger. (When the final two are of different origins voting will not occur)
Even should that not come to pass, Savant's self sacrifice could be denied by other means, for pitiful Oroiros could be offered up in her stead by Pater and Enchidna!
You might not believe this, and I cannot prove it, but I picked Silence to be the Word from the beginning because I thought the play on words was amusing Anonymous
>>5671349 If Echidna remains, we all win don't we?
Either way, I'll Make two gifts for Savant: A statue in perfect likeness to her, made of coral and tinted teal, in the middle of the sea, and at the basis of the statue, a library containing all knowledge of the words, it's books and parchments indestructible.

>>5671354 Nevermind, I already made two gifts for Savant last turning, even though I had suggested to make the two gifts for Mother I didn't make before (the drinking horn and the bed.)
Is it because I didn't directly mention it, or because I didn't out my trip on? It doesn't really matter in the end anyway.

My condolences though. I never expected she'd become waifu.

>>5670435 Sorry about that. The end result was mostly the same, I genuinely thought you forgot. My bad.
What do you want for your final acts?, since it all ends wether you live or die.
Now we wait to see if Enchidna's player is a gentleman even with the stakes low or if they take the chance afforded by anonminity to punk you all.
Either way is fine really since this is all a game and there's no actual world at stake. Ah, but less than a dream.

If the final acts is something for the epilogue and we survive, I kind of want to make a monument for all that was lost along the way, both the creations and gods (and making sure to shit-talk the ones that Oroiros didn't like, so Corruption, Elemental and Silence).

>>5671349 Echidna would look upon the father with disgust. His foolishness almost doomed this universe to collapse and he had conspired to kill her in his hubris. If mother and father were incompatible then there could only be one. She would show that the feminine was ultimately superior. Though she would save the Maker for he was the only loyal one amongst the pantheon.

>>5671854 >>5671378 >>5671363 >>5671349 At last, in the sixth turning since I created them, it comes to an end.
Even knowing their goddess would have devoured them, the mute giants silently wept for their fallen goddess.
Savant wept too, for she in her wisdom knew her fate, but she still worked the waters of the ocean, casting lakes across the carpet-world and maidens fair to dwell within, aiding any noble of heart who dared stand against the ills that afflicted the carpet-world.
Pater the Father wept too, for his love had been false. How he cursed my name for ever making Silence fair and charming, but my Word had before the end only lacked in voice. Oroiros wandered the carpet world seeking all that was beautiful and gentle. First he molded a bride for Pater, so that he might be at rest, so that is despair might be lessened. Kind, gentle and lovely was Galmalyon, who could even bring the most unruly of Pater's progeny to heel. She whose hair and skin changed by day, whose eyes changed by night. A thousand beauties in one.
Yet, Oroiros second work would take the rest of the aeons the sixth turning had.
Enchidna the mother did not betray all of the carpet world. Instead to amuse herself and vex Pater she stole Horror and laughter away to the Silver-rouge Moonfort, where she sometimes resided. It was a miracle greater than my creation of those gods that Laughter could still laugh after the intercourse of those three.
A single child was birthed who grew into a squat woman perhaps impish or dwarvish in figure, but what struck all was she had a smile none could endure the sight of, such was its smugness she herself was named Smugness. When she was born, she came out holding a rouge egg. The egg hatched into a duck that was quite similar to Tricker's blessed duck, but it vanished before everyone's eyes. Everyone would consider it good fortune to catch sight of this most elusive of godchildren, the Vorpal Duck.
Finally as my Hunger swelled, Oroiros completed his last great work. A dread monument, an obelisk detailing all the world's history. At the bottom, bearing the weight of all the events before was a weeping sculpture of Savant of Teal Void.

By will of Enchidna and Savant herself, Savant of Teal Void was sacrificed.
With that, the Discordance of Origins came to an end. Enchidna and Pater, though as oil and water, were one and separate, thus in Harmony and Oroiros was in Harmony with Enchidna.
In harmony the carpet-world was closed off to me, freed from my Hunger and gaze. Much of the three deities power would be diminished from keeping their creation safe from me, but it was still whole and they were also preserved from me.
Thus in the sixth turning, the Age of Gods came to an end, and the Age of Mortals began.
Pater the Father became part of a Godhead Harmonized to Ward Fate away.
Enchidna the Mother became part of a Godhead Harmonized to Ward Fate away.
Oroiros the Maker Harmonized to Ward Fate away.
Levnadsätare, the Merciful, Monarch of Death and Life After Death, the Afterlife Deity, Chthonian, and Celestial escaped Fate's Hunger
Elemental of Blue abandoned creation and escaped Fate's Hunger
Trickster of Rouge was consecrated into Levnadsätare's Heaven, escaping Fate, but losing her divinity.
Celestial of Silver was consecrated into Levnadsätare's Heaven, escaping Fate, but losing her divinity.
All else died by hand of God, or Hunger of Fate.
The most tragic of outcomes was averted, and Fate slept once more, till it would create children from VOID, FLESH, DREAM and it's WORD, beginning the cycle once more.

>>5672038 Game is over folks. I'd like to hear thoughts (particularly on rule changes), but I'll give a post-mortem of my own first.
A simple change first, instead of votes being numbered, call it authority. Just a nice fluff change. So creations give authority instead of votes.
Maker needs some work.
Maybe each aspect having an alternate win on and ascendcon would be good?
Each aspect being able to kill might be good, though obviously some would do it more easily than others
Abstaining should be possible, but if everyone abstains then a sacrifice/reveal is randomly chosen.
Order of actions could be clearer.
Scrap empowered actions?, make bless shield for a turning by base but each thing can only be blessed once?
Father and Chthonian are most oppressive in voting, but that might be fine?
Lord and Lady's +2 is a little sad, especially the Lord's.
Anyway I'm done. Got a goblin quest to take care of. If someone else wants to do a run(with whatever rules changes they desire) go ahead. I'll even play along. Do note that the fluff can be a sliding scale. Technically one could do a whole run with no fluff at all, or way more than what I did.
I had fun, thank you for playing this beta run of Discord of the Gods.
If I wasn't doing a quest already I'd run one set in the carpet-world Levnadsätare, The Chthonian !!2FwkUYvysHq

A) The coomer strategies, Father and Mother, are too strong imo. They can both have their ascension condition done by Turn 2 and there's little that the rest can do to stop them.
B) There's not much interplay with the factions. It's all completely random and players can't easily interact with the mechanic.
Steller !!+bArls/N5bg

>>5672048 Glad you had fun
A) changing the ascension conditions a bit shouldn't be a problem, giving everyone a free smite would perhaps be too extreme of a solution which would also solve the problem.
B)Smiting, Altering or special abilities could reveal a faction a deity isn't part of, but this might strip the unknown too fast. As we had a lot of NPCs interplay wasn't going to be that big anyway.
My idea was that people would first form factions around killing and revealing roles, then around their actual factions, but ascention and altwincons would give ways to betray your faction or ally with others not your own origin.
After all, you don't care who the Violence or Elemental kills so long as it isn't you to an extent.
>>5672043 Thank you, it's a work in progress, but even with NPCs it worked surprisingly well and I'd join in if you do a run, for sure.

>>5672039 It was a nice game.
Some way for every aspect to ascend and win would be a good idea, it would make things more interesting.
I kept getting confused about the empowered thing too. Maybe make what would be their empowered effect into a separate action (so bless only increase the authority, but there would be a separate protect)?
Herald seems a bit weak in my opinion. Maybe increase the amount of Beholds, or some alternate ability that gives him something special after it runs out?
Ruin seems to be entirely built around trying to getting to the end by leveraging the risk of it being the Word and winning when getting sacrificed, but there are many ways to kill someone that it seems a bit of a toothless threat. However, I find it's traitor role interesting, by having an incentive to keep the Word alive while everyone else wants to get rid of them.
Elemental's exponential Imbue seems to be too powerful. There is too much of an incentive to get rid of him as early as possible instead of wanting to use the +1 authority isn't worth the risk.
And Corruption is an even worse Elemental, since there isn't even an upside to his alterarions. Not only that, but his goal to alter everything kills everyone.
Violence ramdom killing gives off more an obstacle feel then tactical need, so if it acts as a factional attack dog, it has three uses and then becomes a threat. Atleast with Corruption and Elemental, a trustworthy player can either use their abilities during the entire game, or leave after they are done.
I think having the factions ridden is a bit of a misplay. I would suggest letting the gods know it since the beggining, and making the Word a secondary, hidden faction role.
I would also suggest that Trickster and Ruin be hidden secondary aspects, but remove reveal lose condition of Trickster.
Maybe make Corruption and Elemental also be hidden aspects, having a hidden Alter counter? It would give an incentive for everyone to Alter creations, since anyone could secretly be them.
Oh, and let Maker vote and be killed. A normal object gives +1 authority to his vote, but a cursed one gives +2, as an incentive to curse gods even when killing them isn't possible.
