> While every world travels slowly towards its end, yours has just begun its journey.
> For this world, the cycle of Gods and Men spins anew, on freshly birthed lands awash with life.
> You are a being of creation, a God, among the first divinities born not long after a world’s genesis. You possess innate knowledge and immense power, with which you may seize dominance and carve out a place for yourself in these savage, untamed wilds.

Welcome to a spinoff installation of Beings of Creation, a long-running tactical civ-style hexcrawl based on your imagination. You are a non-omniscient divine being of great power. You find yourself spontaneously brought into existence in a prehistoric, primeval world, untouched by Gods.
The rules are relatively simple, and may be picked up as you go, but the document below goes into detail. Most players are familiar veterans of the game, so don't be shy and feel free to ask questions.

Though they lack the dexterity for the task, your Wolfmen try their level best to carve out stones for more easy assembly, to…mixed results. Stonecarving (you need to level your General Tech up to Oltar Age (i.e. 10) to be able to develop Masonry, so just treated this as a General progress tech) developed.
Though many Wolfmen balk at the idea of ingesting milk well into adulthood, and from another species entirely no less, some grow to enjoy the taste and the health benefits, when the beverage is drunk in moderation, speak for themselves. Milking developed.

Drakatron
While you rather dislike sharing the tips and tricks of the trade you’ve accumulated, you suppose it’s for a worthy cause, if it will allow you to accumulate treasure of the more physically valuable variety. Thus you educate a small number of your Sharpclaws, who quickly disseminate the knowledge further among the rank and file. Pillager Doctrine developed.
Girded for war and eager to loot and pillage, a force of Sharpclaws sally forth from your southernmost settlement, ready to enrich themse-er, the great and might Drakatron! Sharpclaw Mob Unit created.

Cinder Speak developed.
As the population grows and the tunnels become more crowded, some begin to travel farther afield, fascinated by the strange new flora and fauna found far from home, so uniquely different from anything they would have seen had they chosen to remain in the warmth and safety of their volcanic tunnels. Cave Exploration developed.

Harbour
While one needs careful practice to handle these newly knapped knives safely, lest they find them self unbonded from their fingers, the utility they provide in skinning hunted beasts, or taking apart that which might otherwise be beyond the relatively mundane strength of your people is undeniable. Knives developed.
It is also undeniable, however, that the sharpness of these tools might be turned to more offensive purposes. Strongly affixed to a sufficiently sturdy length of wood, they serve as both a fine walking stick and a deterrent with a deadly sting to many of the predators that stalk the snowy wastes beyond the Bondsglade’s mountainous aegis. Spears developed.

Huáng
The crocodile, though not so intimidated as to be fully cowed by your words and threats, at least seems receptive, eyeing you with a cold and calculating gaze as it lurks beneath the frothing river water. Zaraave’s Obstinance is now 1/3.
Transformed by her time spent cultivating with you, Heliodos slumbers atop your shoulder, a great deal smaller, though no less powerful for it, and with only faint hints of her former reptilian visage still remaining, accenting her more humanoid shape. For no, she slumbers, storing how energy in preparation for her waking. Or perhaps she’s just taking a nap. Jade Beauty Heliodos (1/?) developed.
(Ima be real, a Develop like Exquisite Technique needs a bit more fluff justification, and some DI, so just gonna refund the MA for now.)

Laqura
Enlightened to the ways of aquaculture by their deity, the Granchpolpo and their Pallipod companions take to tending the great piscine schools like…well, fish to water. Though it takes a bit of time to convey to the Pallipods that their handlers do not simply want the fish caught or eaten, after a few hours the intelligent cephalopods make fine herders alongside the Granchpolpo themselves, and over the new few years your people perfect the tending of schools large enough to blanket portions of the reef and handily feed even the growing population of Tidemark. Aquatic Herding developed.
In fact, with such an abundant, mobile source of food, some of your people dream of travelling beyond the reefs, to more exotic locales. And where could be more exotic then astride the back of your placid new friend. Though there is some friction that you yourself need to smooth over with the local wildlife, Godomoloke itself seems more then happy about the prospect of new houseguests. Coralback built.

Laurelios
Though some Shades cannot help but find the bone accessories barbaric and simplistic, far beneath their (perceived) station, others find the…simplistic accoutrements to lend them the mien of a noble savage, whatever that means. Bone Charms developed.
Inspired by what he has become, yet equally horrified by what he once was, Arbaldo attempts to spread his recovered consciousness to some of the other Shades surrounding him. For the time being, however, his entreaties seem to fall of deaf ears, his fellows, thoroughly enthralled by the call of the crown. Hero (1/?) developed.

Lithic
Vulkan is certain he’s on the right track. He’s even made a wheel big enough! Unfortunately, no matter what he does, so far he finds little success in forcing the wheel the move, the water seemingly lacking the force and even his own geomantic abilities lacking the heft needed to rotate something so large. Water Wheel Develop Spell failed, 1 DI refunded.
Though small in individual plot size and yield quantity, the bowl farms of your people provide crops of unmatched size and quality, the excess of nutrients concentrated into each bowl-shaped farm and the careful tending by each of the patient Petrosapien farmers allowing every plant to flourish with a vigour unmatched by what can be found in their wild counterparts. Farming developed.
Though to most, applying themselves such back-breaking labour to acquire a mere delicacy would seem like utter madness, to your hard-headed, patient people such persistence is simply common sense. With a single-minded determination they bore their way into the earth, utilizing every scrap of knowledge at their disposal until, at last, after weeks of digging, they come across a mineral deposit capable of sating them, their hard work rewarded with a hearty meal. Now on to the next one! Mining developed.

Lys
At long last, a labour of love centuries in the making bears fruit, Daleth emerging fully formed from the warmth of your light filled with care, purpose, and a desire to protect the Liten who peacefully roam your lands that mirrors your own. In devotion to that solemn duty they surpass, perhaps, even you. Daleth created.
Inspired by the flowing beauty of their voices as they are raised up in song, and the necessity of communicating with their many neighbours, the Liten develop a language all their own, lilting, lyrical and beautiful in equal measure. Chimesong developed.

Makrópnoos
Caught off guard, and seemingly still tender after shaking off some unknown injury, you’re able to catch the massive red monster by surprise, your fist cracking several scales along its flanks as you evade its off-kilter retaliatory blow. Rojodaz’s Vitality is now 15/25.
Hardy and hard-headed in equal measure, this new breed of Aurodox, somehow even sturdier then the other, more mundane varieties, proves difficult to bring to heel, even for the most experienced breeders and handlers of Aurodox. Though it will likely take some ingenuity to bend these stubborn creatures to their will, the rewards, your people hope, will be commensurate with the task. Hardtusk Aurodox (1/2) developed.
With news of violence brewing to the West, your people begin to undertake drills, readying themselves for fights against deadlier foes then mere wild beasts. Though truly advanced formations and tactics are still beyond them, this training will, with any luck, prepare them for pitched combat, at least where those less or equally trained are concerned. Tactics developed.

Mortrose
Sickly, necrotic green now replaced with cold, merciless blue, and blocky stone replaced by smooth ceramic, the newly dubbed (by yourself, of course) Consecrators serve your servants well during a smattering of test-firings, reducing any creature foolish enough to saunter into your mindless minions’ line of sight to less then dust. Even their spirits are rent asunder by the cold, unfeeling beams fired by equally cold, unfeeling soldiers. Consecrators created.
Marked by your scrawl, the pieces of your hoard that you so graciously allow to walk free (by a given definition of the word, anyways) find their path in “life” set before they are even truly “born”, imbued with purpose and intent that cannot be denied. Wyrmscrawl developed.

The Beast
Distracted by your singing, the massive white cetacean turns its attention away from the Marines, coiling closer and closer…unfortunately, based on the irritation in its beady eyes and the deep, rumbling call that begins to drown out your own song, you suspect the Primal is less enthralled and more displeased.
Yet even as the looming, iceberg sized monster drifts closer, your divinity and the boy’s unique gift intertwine, forming something with which you might, perhaps, be able to bring this beast over to your side, so that the tragedy of your strange dance partner might never be repeated. Ichor Conversion (3/?) developed.
Though still only found in relatively small quantities outside of the harsh, stinging storms where even the hardiest of your people fear to tread, those enhanced by your Ichor are, for reasons beyond even you fascinated by the grainy white mineral, its taste and texture awakening…something in them. In short order many have harassed small hoards of the stuff, guarding it zealously so that they might be able to take a lick or three on a rainy day. Mineral Gathering developed.

The Door
1 Portal constructed.
Though still limited by the equally limited number of universally recognized symbols, the writing, such as it is, is a big leap forward for your Sestans in terms of cataloguing and keeping track of the wide variety of different goods and tools they’ve accrued over the years, helping them to jog their memory or inform future descendants where even their steel-trap minds come up short. Writing & Bookkeeping developed.
As soon as the first sign is created it’s already over. Your people take to the metaphorical arms race with a zeal that surprises even you, dozens of little tricks and tactics falling in and out of fashion as canny shop owners attempt to draw in equally canny Sestans customers, along with any poor, uncivilized saps that wander too close and find themselves mesmerized by your people’s superior signage. Signboard & Advertisement developed.

The Whisper
Unfortunately, combined with the overwhelming rush of divinity that pours forth in a torrent the blade’s spark, this undertaking proves altogether too much for poor Serrel, who finds himself breaking apart under the strain before the spell fizzles out, its potential tragically unrealized. Blade of Aegus Develop Spell failed, 1 DI refunded.
Utterly average in every way, Theobald nevertheless charges into battle at the God King’s request. But with the massive red hunter now alerted the crowned god’s assault, his blade and mighty Gliraximum’s gnashing teeth find little purchase in their target. Rojodaz’s Vitality is now 15/25.
The conditions met, a royal covenant grows, the farseer and kingmaker finding that yet another is elevated to join their ranks, however unworthy he might believe himself to be of the honour. Royal Allegiance Pantheon developed.
Ser Greg, meanwhile, reaps a grim toll among the violent species of lizardmen, though the spines that burst out from their bodies whenever they die inflict a great deal of pain upon the stalwart knight as well. Greg the Green’s Vitality is now 3/7.

Your marauders attack the settlement with wild abandon, though as a green-plated knight is set among them like a hawk among (very spiky) doves, their numbers begin to quickly dwindle.
Clearly blessed by tsss, these sharp stones, made even sharper by repeated beatings, prove useful for a variety of tasks around the Kikka camp. Furthermore, while still quite stabby, these sharpened rocks prove much LESS stabby, not to mention splintery, then the sablewood, a quality that, while typically rather blasphemous, proves a bit more useful for the sorts of tasks that do not typically involve any stabbing of one’s self. Knapping developed.
Though it tastes gritty and metallic, your people happily gulp it down anyway, considering it comes from a bounty of water your people would previously have never even conceived of. These wells, relatively shallow and filled with unpleasant tasting water though they may be, are both a proverbial and literal oasis in the desert for the Kikka, saving them from tense trips to the local watering hole, where they needed to be one the constant lookup for creatures that might decide they want a snack to go with their afternoon drink. Well Digging developed.

Ͼ-Arkatassus
Imbued with a touch of your own assimilating qualities, the speech of those Sauria sworn to you seems to sprout from the lips of those who hear it with a will of their own, spreading throughout a crowd or community with a speed and alacrity that would alarm even their originator. Inescapable Rhetoric developed.
Though it is a great and mighty (and mostly cactus related) undertaking the remodel their village into something a bit less sprawling and a bit more civilized, especially considering many of your people are thoroughly sun addled, eventually after much sweat, blood, and (for some reason) theological debate the settlement is finally put into order.

At the Eastern Reach the chaos of battle lulls for a moment as the might of Ser Greg crashes across the battlefield, choking, crushing and twisting Kikka to death, those Kikka who were out of reach diving for cover as spines fly wildly from the fallen. They peek out from cover and see Ser Greg, riddled with spikes, oozing from dozens of wounds, hunched over with pain. They hold their breath, surely nothing in this world could survive such a thing?

Ser Greg the Green straightens up, standing tall, unbroken. There is a long silent pause, then with much screaming and shouting the Kikka flee the town in a panic.

>Develop [MA] - Chamberpots

> By placing their waste in pots and disposing of it outside of the village the Kikka reduce the spread of disease, and make things smell much better as well!
As the number of Kikka grows, all agree that something must be done about the smell. The time honored tradition has of course always been to relieve oneself wherever, whenever, then kick a bit of dirt or sand over it and move on. But as the number of people in the tribe grows ever larger, the frequency by which one kicks a bit of dirt only to find last week's deposit has increased to an unacceptable level. Fortunately there is a simple answer, put it in a pot and carry it away!

>Develop [MA] - Primitive Tanning
>Preq-Resources: Something with a skin, Salt, Clay, Sablewood
> By treating rawhide with salt solutions, animal fats, and sablewood bark a primitive leather is produced
It begins inauspiciously, with piss. Few Kikka live to old age, and those that do tend to be encouraged to make way for the youth, for their best stab years are behind them. Food and water are often scarce after all. So it is with Elder Crah, who helps butcher kills from the hunt in exchange for a few scraps of meat from each one. Until one day a band of youths dump a pot of piss onto him. Or try to anyway, for they miss their mark and instead soak the stack of rawhide pelts at his side. When the hubbub settles the elder sets to the unpleasant task of cleaning the hides, only to find the attempt to scrap them clean with a sharp stone is removing furs and hair as well. An ember of intuition glows in the elder’s mind, and thus begins a strange series of experiments, of salt and piss, discarded parasite infested brains and old animal fat lost in the salt pits. The youth claim he has gone mad in his old age, soft and dull. Crah is never appreciated during his life for the first leathers he creates, but he is the first kikka to die while wrapped warmly in a thick leather blanket.

Seeing the Red Hunter bound away faster than he could,Makrópnoos narrowed his eyes. If the Beast liked to call itself a predator and a hunter, then it would soon learn the meaning of persistence hunting. The humanoid giant took off in a leasurely jog after the wild god, collecting various textiles and a lot of wood without even stopping along the way. As he jogged, he fashionedd a gigantic spear from the materials and used a flash of foresight to pinpoint his quarry's exact position.

Of course he had to get interrupted by a new arrival: Shellac. He eyes the humanoid up and down, noting that despite prominent humanoid features, it also looked strange and bestial. ''Greetings stranger, I am named ἰσχύς and I hail from the south from a most curious and ingenious people, though I doubt any of them have seen these lands yet.'' He hummed thoughtfully at the mention of the creatures. ''I can see the are not yours, however I can sense that they belong to the beast me and my Lord have encountered. While I would usually not be interested in slaughtering beings weaker than myself, weakening a significant rival to my Lord could help him in the future. I suspect we would end up in conflict with it regardless and so I ask that you do not interfere for our patrons have not even met yet''

Kenrose - Aetheral Wizard. The stars are a foreign concept to the underworld, where the closest equivalent are replaced with mounds of desperately escaping soulstuff clinging to the ceilings of caves. Miasma, obfuscation, and manipulation of souls and the planes beyond are this wizard's forte.
Using these techniques, and the Wyrm's Will to assist, Kenrose takes a smattering of glepnal clay tablets from Mortrose and begins work on piecing the mechanisms behind these bizarre gateways popping up at disturbing frequency along their borders. And in preparation to block any spacial manipulation coming from it in retribution, if need be. The two wizards slither up to the Door in the comforting cover of night. Using her scrawlings as she coils around the surreal structure, Brother Sadman stands atop her salamandrian head and begins *his* work.
Brother Sadman - Corruption Wizard. Of which his first spellcast was to corrupt himself to the Lindwyrm's camp. Clearly not to be trusted, but a waste to simply leave idle. And what better way than to put a proverbial foot in the door. These portals may not work for his Lady's ilk yet, but rather than bash down these tools like a simple minded brute, why not work the knob a bit, coax the hinges, and with a gentler touch get a far more favorable result. Where there is a lock, there is a lockpick. And where there is an entryway, there is a trespasser.

>Minor: [Communicate] - Laqura
One fateful day, as the sun falls low on the horizon and a watercolor of reds and oranges spread out across the clear, perfectly still seas the Water God and Godomoloke reside in, a black flock appear in the skies. Lazily circling, they slowly descend until they rest on the nose of the simple minded and curious primal. Cawing and cackling eerily at the passing Granchpolpo, their jeers and insults come to a sudden pause as Laqura's presence looms. Then, their mouths open in unison, and an utterly different, deeper, feminine voice booms out, "Ooooh? Hello, hello? The bird brains must have finally made it. Greetings, my dearest neighbor. This emissary arrives on behalf of myself, the esteemed Mortrose, whom you may also know as the Lindwyrm of Rebirth. I have taken it upon myself to seek out graceful introductions, in hopes of not being assaulted unjustly and unprompted like I once was only shortly ago."

"I have no immediate qualms with you or yours, but I do seek an answer to a rather pertinent question of mine."From on far, the wyrm rises to gaze on the eastern horizon, "Do you have any designs on your southern neighbor? That old rotting tree. It smells of my assailant, and I'd rather see any potential threats nipped before seeing another rock, or branch as it may be fall upon my delicate head."

>Major: [Develop] [DI] - God Ability: Dragon's Breath [2/2] - Ability Effect: Unlock a potent AoE cone attack that can sweep through whole hexes worth of units and settlements. Uses Strength stat, not spirit.
Using: Domain - Mud

The trumpcard of any dragon worth it's salt, and a symbol of pride to lord over younger whelps; the mudwyrm finally seizes her birthright after having it's genesis delayed by a particularly obnoxious heavensent harlot. With the roiling rage of the earth itself pooled within her, and serratosaur's lingering voracity soaked into the glepnal they made in their mutual deaththroes, she can spew a torrent of divine blood-red-mud that rolls and roils across the world, drowning and scalding everyone consumed by it. Truly, an excruciatingly awful way to die.

>Major: [Develop] [DI] - Wyrm's Will (Magic System, Rune based) - Using Wyrmscrawl's abyssal runes and a honest True gift from their Lady, Her Hollow Vessels can now channel the powers of their god's will or wizard's spells by their own hands. Wyrm's Will requires three major factors to work: Wyrmscrawl, minions to carve the correct runes and channel the magics accordingly through an object, and a resource created by the hands or from the body of their god. Be it the glepnal that came from her ichor suffusing the tar pits, or Her vain transformation of the consecrators; the magic of the dragon only works through what could be described as the extended body of the dragon Herself. An abyssal magic on the 'flesh' of underwordly beasts.
Using: Domain - Mud/Soul, Tech - Wyrm's Tongue, Wyrmscrawl. Resources - Kosk, Glepnal Mud, Consecrators, and future Mortrose-made resources

Left to lick her wounds, the mudwyrm had much time to think on how she came about to this junction, the pain of the mana spring erupting underground and forcing her to surface, the headaches of coming sapience as she fought tooth and nail with beast and god. The ways of the surface differed drastically from her home, and though she missed the cool and the dark dearly, a thought occurred. Why return herself to the already conquered and controlled, when she could instead bring the wonders of the underworld to the surface? As such, continuing off of her attempts to petition the suns to dim their obnoxious glare with written missives, the Lindwyrm gifted her hoard the joys of the underworld's words and writings, dreadful as they are to mortal minds. But she did not only give them the words to brand and torture them with. No, for it is her way of expanding her reach, strengthening their arms, and suffusing her will over the very earth they walk on, and in turn, twist the world to their own benefit.

Ervenbloud contemplated claiming the Jold-rich mountain. It was a highly valuable resource his mortals lacked. However, he knew he didn’t have much energy and wanted to set up a potential trade route for his and Tsss’ mortals. Ultimately, he decided the Jold could wait, his mortals couldn’t even work it yet anyways. So he began the journey to Tsss’ settlement.
>Move to 8,25
As he approached, he sensed a presence to the west. A creature more than beast and less than God. It felt like this creature, whatever it was, was snuffing out the life of some of Huáng’s mortals. It was beyond his range to strike but perhaps it could hear his voice. “I can’t tell if you are brave or foolish to break that which belongs to a God. Huáng will undoubtedly turn you into one of his pets, assuming his pupil doesn’t slay you first. One way or another diving retribution will find you. I give you a choice. Join me and choose your master or flee and defy fate for a few sparse moments.”

>Minor: [Communicate] - Mortrose

"Hello unto you, Lindwyrm of Rebirth." Laqura's voice burbles back through the communication method arranged; assuming that this deity must be able to hear as well as speak from afar. "Unjustly assaulted? Oh, dear. Was that by the entity who had been gathering south and east? Daemupochu and I had made plans to stand together if it came for us. Instead, it veered westward. And then we felt it fade. You were the one who felled it, then."

There is a gurgling, water going around as if drawn by some eddy.

"Daemupochu. That is the name of my neighbour. I had showered he and his Daemu with my waters; and in turn he gifted me and mine with seeds of life. He is not your assailant. Whilst he lives, I harboured no covetous thought toward him. Yet that life he so represents is drawing to conclusion. You feel it. That is why you have drawn close, I so presume?"

There is another gurgling.

"Though our time as neighbours was shorter then expected, I feel it as my duty to offer my care for what was created, what was represented. To keep it watered, and thus alive. At least, in part."

The sound of pattering rain whispers through the communications as the water-god pauses.

"But I am not unwilling to make compromise. When Daemupochu passes, he will leave both spirit and husk. I hold no plans nor need for his dry husk, whilst I am somewhat intrigued by what muddy creation you might someday rebirth from such remains. When Daemupochu passes, he will leave two villages. I hold no need for both, when the one in the north would be enough of a cutting to preserve memory of his living legacy."

There is another silence, as if an ebbing tide. A waiting.

While the God-King was still chasing the Red Hunter, the Humans were still trying to bring the the Hard-Tusked Aurodox to heel. It wasn't easy of course, but a mixture of tailored newly-grown specific foods, learning their habits and disciplining them when they're young proved more than enough. Turns out it's also hard to get rid of annoying primates climbing on your back all the time, and so this was used as a technique to pressure the aurodox...as well as appease them by getting rid of tics and the like. This combination of traditional discipline, feeding and coaxing brought even this stubborn breed in line.

>MA2: Giant cavalry archery, Offensive Progressive tech

If there's one thing that can be done more easily on an Aurodox than on other mounts, it's shoot people that aren't on it. Specifically there can even be cover mounted on its back because it can just handle it. This goes double for the Hard-Tusked Aurodox who are already much stronger by virtue of needing to drag around their massive denser bones.

The same concept evolves further. Yes, the stone is good for cutting. A more flared, wider, more sturdy stone can cut even wood pretty well. But if you put it on a handle, suddenly a lot more force can be exerted. And so, cutting wood to size is more manageable. Slaughtering becomes easier as well, with such meaty limbs being severed in fewer strokes, and yet quite a few more swings. And then... it DOES also make for a pretty good weapon, especially against more sturdy, more padded beasts. Or...
Now, if only there were a better material than stone. Replacing the heads isn't hard when you have a surplus... yet having it break on you on a trip is rather troublesome.

Yet, traversing the mountains, and as noted in the glade, from one massive tree to another, remains difficult. A gap. A rift. If only one could bridge between... make a connection...
And so a rope hangs between them. Not really useful. So how about two ropes? Maybe some MORE ropes, to make sure the bonds remain firm between them all. And perhaps, for additional ease... a firm surface to stand on. To travel between. Perhaps a few wood planks, those axes certainly come in handy there!

Though war may wage to the North, the Listeners are ever diligent in their operations. House Nelyth, Keepers of The Lake, and House Vaelith, Warriors of the Host, both prepare for the worst, seeing to the improved defenses of settlements across the divided kingdom. House Yros is set to study the newest materials found to the western branch of Oltartown, identifying what portents may lay in anticipation to their schemes, meanwhile House Morcair begins the process of blending spore-kind with human-kind, studying the culture and traditions of those many Listeners will now share settlements and even homes with. All of these plans require but one thing: Safe transport and communication! It is this, that The Makers shall deliver.

>Develop [MA] - Elderwood Uprooting
>Preqs: Scarce Elderwood, Sporefarming, Substrate, Chitterling Builders
Keen to the delicate relationship and protective nature of the Magnolopes in the Elderwood forests that surround Oltartown, great tact is taken in the collection of Elderwood. Its regenerative nature is far too valuable not to bring home, but respect must be given to the ancient marriage of these two species. The deceptively small and delicate acorns of these trees are collected from the leaf litter that blankets the glades, and planted in Substrate soil. Here, though tough enough to support the tree's growth, is beholden to the will of the hyphae, and those who control it. The Spore farmers delicately form this recipe of substrate mix, just enough to support the trees growth, and just enough to will the mycelium to unbind and let loose as chitterlings pull and unroot the ripe wood for collection. Though slow, planting forests of these trees will ultimately result in enough to supply the entirety of The Whisper's Listeners with impenetrable defenses.

>Minor: [Communicate] - Laqura
The god's every word ripples across the sea and skies, water droplets vibrating with such precision as to mimic the very burbles coming from Laqura. Lounging as she was in a gargantuan tidepool, the mud serpent could hear the walking cyclone easily enough through every medium that surrounded her, while she herself held a squawking Kosk in hand up to her face like one would a disinterested call in the bath. Though such disinterest did not last long, a ghastly grin spread across her face. "Oh ho? Is that so? You two had prepared to fend off against the harlot as well? Wise, very wise indeed, she would have come to attempt to strike you down in such a similar manner, no doubt. Yes, *yes*, it was meeee, *all me*, who vanquished the eastern barbarian for you and kept both you and yours safe from harm. You may thank me, at your leisure."

The lindwyrm sticks her tongue out several times, testing the air as she ruminates and listens to Laqura continue on. The name of the old rotten oak was of little importance to her and she only barely made an effort to occasionally "hum" in what could be interpreted as positive affirmation to assure she was listening to Laqura's tale. She picks her teeth with one talon as she agrees, "Indeed, that is why I come. Where there is life, there is death, and where there is death, there is me to see it beyond. Of course. *Of course*."

But as Laqura's tale continues on to plans of the future, she sits up, and licks her lips once more. Both of her dutiful wizards soon arrive as the conversation continues on, and she bids them to gather their things before making to depart once more. "Mmmmmm, a reasonable bid, a spark and a village, and a husk and a village. It's people too, I presume. I shall take this tithe gracefully for defending yours and his lands from a wanton slaughterer. But much like you are intrigued of my machinations, I too must admit, I hold deep seated curiosity of... what plans you have in store for such a grand prize as a spark. I have some ideas of my own, that I would be loath to part with, but perhaps if they align, we may... collaborate. In both labor, and benefit."

"Oh, and dear, a word of advice, if you wish to continue to live in these waters and not be ousted elsewhere. I've only the smidgen of feeling from on far, but I can taste his presence and my wizards confirm as much. Another dragon resides nearby. And Dragons, you see, are proud creatures. We are loath to cooperate with any but one we see as equal. And none are as equal to a dragon, than another dragon. You have control over your own amorphous form, do you not? Then take a more becoming visage, such as a sea serpent, perhaps."

>Unit Action [God & Wizards]: Pick up the wizards and slither over to <38,24>.
As she says this, Mortrose approaches the great dying oak. And the serpent winds herself around the tree, waiting for the fruit to fall.

Wounded and exhausted by both the changes that wracked his body and the most recent battle, the monstrous god finally comes to a stop, stilling for a moment as he heaves in deep lungfulls of air before letting out an explosive growl of irritation. He was faster than his pursuers, certainly, but they were persistent. Already he could sense them, not so close as to strike but not so far behind as to be unable to catch up should he rest too long, and with the shell around it beginning to fade his prize would not be so easily moved. He would either need to remain here and consume it, which would in all likelihood lead to his death, or turn tail and run, abandoning his prey to others…the god chuckled. Was that even a question? Why was he questioning, in the first place? These persistent thoughts, crowding his once quiet mind. He missed a past so distant he could barely remember it, when he had sought only strength, without care, or consideration, or conscience. What had caused him to change, in the first place...? This was not right, this was not the hunter, the predator, this sapient that thought and schemed. Yesss, he was at his strongest when he followed his instincts, when his mind existed only to facilitate the hunt. If he wished to win, then he would need to go back, to a time when he could place his very existence on the line without a second thought...

As though in response to his wishes, his newly formed organ seems, at least an outside observer, to shut down, the outflow of energy out into the body abruptly ceasing. The truth, however, is far deadlier. After several days, the organ begins to shine with a reddish light that leaks out from between the reptilian scales, a sign of the energy compressing and condensing inside, ready to explode outward and herald to an atavistic, primal transformation…

Though some argue that it goes against the instincts granted to them by their sovereign, the inborn desire to rip into their prey with claws and fangs, most hunters cannot deny the reach advantage these newly created “spears” give to their already tall, lean frames, even if the sharpened stone tips lack the killing efficient of their natural weapons, and it isn’t long before most Wolfmen stalk the alpine forests and frozen wastes with a trusty spear at their side, ready to impale any prey unfortunate or slow enough to enter the range of their long, loping gait. Spears developed.

Your Sharpclaws attack with great fervour…and not much else, the strange door unyielding in the face of their assault, that you can hear faint groans of protest. Perhaps a bit longer…? Portal’s Integrity is now 2/4.
Though some Sharpclaws decry these new weapons as cowardly and “lacking in honour” (What’s honour? Something you can eat? Clearly they’re just jealous), or prefer the sensation of ripping into their prey at a more intimate distance, many make good use of this new form of reach, killing prey that would otherwise have escaped into the undergrowth. Ranged Weapons developed.
Those that prefer a less bloodless hunt, however, find much more use in the newly uncovered art of knapping, honing their stone weapons to razor sharp points and edges capable of slicing through even the toughest hide and bathing the hunters in the blood and viscera they so crave. Knapping developed.

Your entreaties are met with a cacophonous wall of sound as the indistinct shape hovers overhead, though it at least seems to hesitate for a moment before taking action. Legiad’s Obstinance is now 2/3.
Though the Magma Spawn have always been surefooted, they tend to be, well, rather slow in exchange for it, relying on tactics and the homefield advantage to catch prey that is by all accounts faster than them. To rectify this discrepancy in preparation for their journey southward, the Cult of the World Forge bring forth their newest invention, the wheel. Sure, they have no idea how exactly to use this to transport Magma Spawn just yet, but look how quickly it rolls! Wheels developed.
The Order of the First Crucoad, meanwhile place greater stock in the importance of being able to communicate and trade with those they encounter, however long it might take to encounter them. To this end they begin to put values to the minerals produced by their pet Crucoads, learning to argue, bargain, and barter with one another in preparation for the day they must do so with those less familiar to them.

Intimidated by the ursine monstrosity, but unable to let such a clearly destructive creature rampage through the North, you lock the beast down, feeling your imperceptible shackles bind the bear to its environment, even though its form is now distant and indistinct to you. Jollibom bound.
Though some eschew the hefty tools, considering them too heavy and unwieldy to pack for long trips into the wilds, others find the tool indispensable, allowing them to easily gather wood and butcher the remains of prey, or serve as a deadly, if slow, weapon in a pinch. Hafted Axe developed.
Though the suspended platforms require constant upkeep to ensure they do not break down under the weight of the elements in these frigid climes, or become to slick with ice to safely cross, when properly maintained the bridges prove invaluable, cutting what would once have been hours long climbs up or down to a minute or two’s crossing, bridging gaps far beyond what even the most daring leap could achieve. Suspension Bridges developed.

Back in the water, and with prey in its jaws, the gargantuan crocodilian seems less then enthused by your words this time, more focused instead on trying to crack the spiny god now caught within its jaws.
Finding the reptile more interested in your prickly disciple for the time being, you decide to spend your time in this interesting riverside locale training yourself. You have been slacking off a bit lately after all, so occupied with these strange new lands and their inhabitants. Exquisite Technique (1/3) developed.
While training yourself, you also make sure to keep an eye on Heliodos, ensuring that there are no complications or interruptions in her training to master what you can only presume to be a profoundly alien form, from the perspective of a creature that has spent eons as a massive, quadrupedal reptile. Jade Beauty Heliodos (2/?) developed.
Though it might avail them little in the more physical aspects of their training, many disciples find solace in the simple pleasure of composing a good poem. Though some giddily show off their creations to their peers, or compare them to one another, while others recite them with the quiet night sky as their only audience, in every one of its myriad aspects the practice serves the valuable purpose of honing the mind, just as their training hones the body.

While Godomoloke has proven to be affectionate and friendly, your senses, and the waters in which you immerse yourself, are quick to inform you that the rest of the world is not quite so kind.

Hydro Pump (1/?) developed.
Though your people’s tastes naturally lean towards those found in their home environment, some eccentrics seek out more exotic tastes, finding them in the fruits of the jungles surround their sandy home. To ensure a steady supply, they follow in their footsteps of their ancestors, cultivating a grove filled with various fruit trees near Tidemark, though in this case to serve as a food source rather than home reinforcement.

Unknowingly continuing the cycle, Vitrosevich hopes to bring the spark of awareness back to his fellow royals, and teaches them the tongue of his mother country.

After several eons of travelling or chaperoning, you feel the need to put your divinity to work and…experiment a bit. Reaching down into the planet’s crust, where you and your people once dwelt in crystalline caves like nothing you’ve yet seen on the surface, you seize upon one particular mineral from your memories, a type of quartz that seems to crackle with unreleased potential. Potential you can shape. Feeling your call, and with its own innate energy bolstered by your own, the minerals begins to expand and grow, branching upward like a great tree until, at last, several pillars of it burst from the bedrock that makes up Onn’s floors, causing several Petrosapiens to jump (not very high, admittedly, considering how heavy they are, but they certainly make a good effort of it) with fright before they’re transfixed by a mineral not seen since the time of their ancestors’ ancestors. Power Quartz created.

Though the Weavers by and large remain inscrutable in their actions and behaviour, they do, at least, seem to enjoy the dwelling your people have made for them, weaving great webs between the buildings that stretch upward into the trees above. Weaver Homes built.

Though it takes a great deal of (divinely aided) ingenuity on the part of your Humans, after several generations of experimentation, trial and error, and plain old stubbornness your people are able to find the golden ratio between discipline and appeasement to bring the equally stubborn beasts to heel. With any luck, they’ll be well worth the trouble. Hard-Tusked Aurodox developed.
And it takes no time at all before your people are able to utilize the hardy beasts to devastating effect. Though their bows are effective weapons at range, they become a dangerous liability if a foe manages to close the distance, a weakness that is by and large dealt with as your people train to fire from atop their sturdy mounts, the massive bovine’s back proving more then adequate to carry several archers well out of reach of anything that might try to seek retribution for their stinging arrows.

Should any creature dare to stand against you as that repugnant saintess did, they will now find themselves faced with a dragon’s greatest weapon. Dragon’s Breath developed.
As your training at last comes to fruition, so too does another of your projects. Infused with your mud, and now armed now with the runes and language of the underworld, your minions are able to impose, in part, a shadow of the abyssal depths on this blissfully ignorant surface world, calling on powers undreamt of on the surface for eons, though it will likely be sometime yet before truly mighty deeds can be worked, with the suns’ glare still dampening the effects.

Education System developed.
While theological debate praising their god satisfies those with more intellectual minds, for the masses a different form of worship better serves.

"Then though I do not in truth know the extent of the great battle so waged, I thus thank you, Dragon-Queen." Laqura's fluid mass burbles through the ripples in Mortrose' tidal pool.

"Perhaps they may align? I do not and cannot know myself, as you would not know that which I have not told." The ripples churn. "The world in which I find us is full of waters; and they pass well enough upon the land to give rise to tropical atolls, wet forests and bubbling swamps. Yet in my dreams, there could be more." The ripples bounce. "Where I look at the sea, the waters I find seem... unfinished. I have made my Limpid waters as a start, and even they are not yet full-crafted. I wish for fast-flowing channels and stormy reaches and intricate fjords, churning whirlpools and great kelpy shallows. The land, too, I could work upon with crystal springs and pouring falls. I wish for great winding rivers laden with silt, and intricate deltas threading through to the sea. Rains, and fountains... so much to do." The burbling sighs.

"A Dragon?" The statement gives Laqura pause for thought. "I suppose I could shift my mass into a Dragon-like form, if you would not think it offense or parody that I try so to emulate. Come. I shall do so and fly you by, then. Do tell me your opinion of the visage so presented."

And so, Laqura rises from the water after so long, in the form of a Dragon of the Depths made entirely of flowing fluid; a surging serpentine shape that surges toward the remnants of Daemupochu; whiskered with white waters and with shimmering scales that break into water-spray, only to reform once more and glitter with refractions; a rainbow kicked up by the spray of Laqura's trail and the following rain-fall.

>Unit Action [Laqura]: Pick up [Spark of Daemupochu].

And as Laqura comes, so Laqura retreats; winding as a river back toward the waters of the watery domain; the form of a frothing tail heralding a wave and a salute to the Lindwyrm. The form sinks back beneath the waves, merging into the waters, and Laqura's mass consolidates and coils upon the sea-bed around the Spark; preparing to subsume and digest the energies.

>Develop [MA] [1 DI] - Haunted Bodhi Tree
>Preq-Tech: Previous Work on Wisdom of the Heavens, Afterlife, Pantheon, Stabbing
>Resources: Souls, A Connecting Road
> By ensnaring the souls of the dead in webs of thorns and then setting them to the task of teaching those down the long road, the Bodhi tree is able to achieve its mission more easily, at the cost of souls.

The Bodhi tree has grown slowly over the epochs since Huang first willed it into existence as a tiny bonsai tree. Its ambitious mission was to link the Pagoda and Thornshade together, bringing wisdom to the Kikka and the majesty of chamberpots to the disciples of Mount Ao. It now stands as a small tree. Unfortunately it would be many epochs before the tree would grow mighty enough to accomplish its mission.

Hahk, wizard of tsss, has other plans. He plucks a spine of tsss from the ground, an act that would leave any other Kikka with a bloody stump instead of a hand. He carries it over to the young tree, feeling the power within it, the link to his god. He shapes that power, molds it through his own understanding of his god’s light, then stabs it down into the bodhi tree. There is an audible gasp from onlookers, to strike the creation of a god is to invite disaster upon oneself. The spine sinks into the tree, splintering and shredding it. There are audible groans, and curses thrown at the wizard, from a safe distance and well hidden behind others.

Time passes. The magic of tsss seeps into the tree, warping it, changing it. Leagues away its twin also changes, to the growing concern of the disciples, who lacking masters can only watch in terror. But the tree does survive, roots stabbing down deep, branches twisting and forming pale pink flowers surrounded by long wicked thorns. Decades later it is a far cry from its original vision, its curved trunk supporting cages of thorns, and in those cages, visible only to the wizard and the rare few with the gift for such things, are the souls of wayward kikka who have strayed too close to the tree. Hahk addresses them.

“You are snared, and your soul is owed, but freedom can be earned. Travel the road, from here to the temple afar, and carry messages and knowledge and teach what will be taught. A year's service for each prick of the Bodhi tree’s thorns, and you will be free.”

A heinous crime has been committed, and for this crime there is only one punishment suitable. Strangulation. It is the highest punishment of the Kikka, a clean death bereft of the stabbing embrace of tsss, such a thing condemns the soul to the darkest hells. For such a task the condemned is forced to weave their own rope, gathering plant fibers from the distant plains, straightening them with a bone comb, then twisting them together with the aid of notched bone tools. The resulting rope is then used to form a noose and strangle the kikka who has offended both men and gods. Afterwards the useful tool is gifted to those most harmed by the offender, where it serves many purposes, the hanging of meat, the binding of bundles, the leading of Thorides, and of course as a reminder to all Kikka that some measure of justice has been done.

As the rabble riders left much argument and infighting occurred. Those who remained faithful were known as followers of the old flame whereas those who took the riders words to heart were walkers of the spiked path. As time went on the old flame was pushed deeper into the tunnels as the spiked path faith spread. Abnormally sharp stalactites formed in the tunnels the new faith dominated, till at last they reached the center of the Provenance where Ervenbloud is said to have been born. Sootwalker, a Magma Spawn raised in the traditions of the forest, marched into the chamber. “Generaions ago our people dreamt of spikes. Foolishly the old priests claimed our progenitor was sending a message. But now we know the truth—our god has abandoned us, yet the Sab Lord calls. And today, we answer.” He stabbed a spike left by the Kikka into the ground. On the other end of which was an impaled crucoad that had once belonged to a respected priest. A circle with sixteen lines surrounded it. The new symbol for Tsss. In the deepest tunnels those of the old flame begged for mercy while on the surface Magma Spawn reported the Unhallowed Volcanos produced enough smoke to blacken the skies.

While, as Laqura approaches, Mortrose lounges against the base of Daemupochu and fiddles with some intricate equipment in her talons, turning it over and over again in thought. She hums in agreement, "Hmm, yeeees, so much to do, so much to make. I would turn over the world myself with all new bounties and landscapes myself, my glepnal only a small fragment of which I wish to concoct. I understand your plight to be much in the same as mine.

A tongue flicks out in frustration as more time passes.

As the Dragon of the Depths approaches, spinning clouds away in miniature hurricanes and leaving rainbows in its wake, a wicked Cheshire grin spreads across Mortrose's face, and She belts out a rancorous chortle, "Why, my young serpent, imitation is the HIGHEST form of flattery!

Coming up to take roost upon the coastal outcroppings at the northern tip of *Her* isle, the lindwyrm listens as even here she can hear the insentient beating of dunderheads against doorhinges, and civil-disputes between dragon and underlings. Once more, after having dealt with the psychopathic Narcissists and painfully naive daemu, Mortrose was endlessly grateful at the singleminded industriousness of Her own minions. The kosk's squaking notwithstanding...
Still, failings of the Sharpclaw and their master aside, it was high time the two mature dragons meet.

It starts from the gut, where power and spark reside. A deep intonation, as the very earth rumbles and shakes, before a great roar is belted from Her too-wide mouth and directed across the channel towards Her peer.
The common draconic tongue can appear simple, in its deafening utterances and roars, but only to a lesser creature. To a fellow dragon, they are rife with meaning and sonorous flow, Her words carried crystal clear. And so too their smugness. "I see...., these intrusive doors have appeared in your domain as well, Draconic Conquerer. Though, I, the Primordial Lindwyrm of Rebirth, Mortrose, have already de-fanged Mine with simple ease. With wit and will I now hold the keys to one, but, I suppose your means have a certain -simplistic- charm to them as well. How is it going?"

Already expecting offense to Her tone, she continues, "I mean no *disrespect*, my fellow kin, otherwise I would trespass without warrant and show you how it is done," the mudwyrm raises Her arms in placation to go with Her words, though Her voice drips with not a fair degree of superiority. One dragon sizing another up, She could not afford to show difference so easily, "But it begs me to aaaask: Are you -*satisfied*- with such... inefficient means of violence? If you plan to seize the world like one of your stature is ought to, let alone this hunk of wood before you, then... mayhaps I have something of mmm -Interest- for you and yours. Do keep me waiting, I enjoy watching the show in the meantime."
