Dawn of Worlds Redeus part 2 - the New Testament

Rolled 6, 6 + 54 = 66 (2d6 + 54)

Hm. the dice roller didn't like my complex entry. I'll take the 17 from that roll, plus the 37 I had from yesterday, and roll again now.

Rolled 1, 2 + 10 = 13 (2d6 + 10)

I think it's way too soon to go to the third age yet

>It is, it was, it has become the time.
>Eae perceived readiness in the world.
>Great events were soon to take place.
>Eae touched the youngest son of an orc philosopher-chief...

Why not? We've got lots of races. (Technically four races, and LOTS of subhuman species.) Advancing the age might get people to move on to actually establishing cities for more of them.

Has my niche already been taken in this new thread?

Students(giants) and Imps are both +1

Well Whis made his race of scorpion girls for.. reasons?, and I made my half-giant half-scorpions to cement an alliance. I think the base scorpions aren't humanoid at all. Lady just kept calling them man-scorpions

I'm going to expand on this rule, and say that AVATARS CAN ONLY TAKE TWO ACTIONS AN HOUR.

Original rules said one, but not everyone can be here every hour. I think two actions an hour is more than enough to give players who are busy elsewhere enough, without giving players who are on the thread often *too* much of an advantage.

What wisdom has my meditation wrought?

How many dice do I have to roll in order to catch up?

I don't know if you roll extra dice, but you start off with 12 power, try messaging Eae

Is that enough to make a race?

Also, how many races are there right now?

The two other posts linked have a list of the races as well as the costs for making things (we are in the second age)

I'd say Eae represents Nature pretty well, although that's in a "Nature of the Cosmos" sense, not "Untamed Wilderness" sort of sense.

>How many dice do I have to roll in order to catch up?
I'll let you start with 12+2d6, because you first posted an hour before you officially created your deity.

You get 2d6 more power at the beginning of every hour.

Why don't you fill up our world with nonsentients? You can make as many as you want to inhabit a hex when you use Shape Climate on it. We need some ice up in the NW mountains, and maybe the NE islands can be jungle...

Eae must rest for a time, again. Hopefully not as long as yesterday.

Eae shall grant 6 power to whomever can catalog all races and orders.

Great OverGod, who made the first division, may I request that my The Tower Of Heaven would function as a Local God city? I did pay more for It that a regular city. Praise be to you.

Rolled 4, 5 = 9 (2d6)

Yes. Just spend one power to command your avatar to establish a presence there.

(btw, I see the orcs getting along with the Local Gods rather well. I won't be offended if you command the orcs with your avatar.)

We can have more than one avatar, yeah?

(command avatar1)
Under the watchful eyes of the Maze Controller, the mage wrights of Synod craft a great wonder: the Ghost-Forging Engine. This machine can craft half spectral automata called Geists to serve the people of the Spire. The first batch of these beings will be sent to the Wall, to keep vigil over the nations borders.

(advance civ 5: espionage)

The mental magics and powerful illusions that come so naturally to the Spire peoples mean that its trivial for them to extract information from the most unwilling minds, slip undetected into enemy camps, and divine even the most well protected of secrets. Is it any wonder that they should be the foremost masters of spycraft?

(create order : 6.)

How did you get subrace from that fucking description

Well Lady did (foolishly) keep calling them man scorpions, and there are at least two scorpion men (or in one case, girl) races

>ruination
A cruel jest, from the one who deals out burning wrath as freely as a whore deals out her body. Tell me, when you burned the west to make room for your barbarian hordes and that hideous blight you call a fortress, did you mourn the small gods on who's ashes you now so brazenly trod?

Couple mistakes. Students are the name of my giants, Keepers my order of cleric-wizards I send everywhere. The Imps are just Imps (though some of them do belong to the Keepers) , and the Cavaliers are just regular centaurs I recruited and gave nice hats to

So 35 points.
-7 Points Event
Any land a human touches becomes cursed, it seems that any fertile soil they come across is suddenly replaced with unarable sand, earthquakes come commonly, and the land shifts environment at random, but when another race attacks, the environment shifts form to benefit the attacker.
-5 Advance Civ (Weapon Mastery)
The Rock Scorpions while fighting the horrid humans learn to utilize their weapons to the utmost capability.
-3 Purify Civ
The Rock Scorpions are pure as the driven snow.

I would ask that you not do that, as my Students are debatably human, and I count normal humans among my ranks besides. Plus, that sounds more like some form of cataclysm

*Except Subraces and Humans that are not from The Red Lady, those are fine.

Is it allowed to alter an entire race...? I don't think that's fair.

It's the territory of a race, specifically for a god.

Noble ally, May I ask what exactly your bone-men have been up to? You seen to have forsaken them for your favored race, and considering the Lady's prejudices about racial purity I doubt they would be accepted in her lands

Not sure, it was supposed to be a gift for The Red Lady, something more unique and more armored, but you know how that went.

Rolled 2, 2 + 3 = 7 (2d6 + 3)

6+5=New Race and Advance Civilization

Roaming across the land in scattered nomad hordes roam the Rakers, beast-men made in my image.

Their society and festivals are based entirely around taking delight and pleasure in the killing, mutilation, torture, and consumption of other organisms, including other races.

As evil as they seem, they are needed in the balance of this world. With nothing to protect themselves and their children from, races and animals would get lazy, and never adapt.

Might I suggest then a more fair and fitting curse? That any land consecrated in the name of the Lady become the seed of a blight. Where a temple erected in her name would be erected , the land grows fallow and heaves in protest.

Rolled 2, 1 + 16 = 19 (2d6 + 16)

>erected in her name would be erected

And this is why I hate posting from mobile

I am really not very good at growing in power

Rolled 1, 6 + 20 = 27 (2d6 + 20)

That does sound a more fitting curse. I redact my previous curse in favor of this.

Okay, it seems people are ready for AGE THREE.

Since it's been WAY more than 10 rounds, I say it goes automatically now.

>AGE THREE HAS BEGUN

A race of murderous raptor men, and yet they are still somehow less bloodthirsty than our Fair Lady

Dammit, keep forgetting the image.

Oh noble Originator of Phenomena, what news comes from my people's diplomatic pilgrimage?

>Eae is surprised that the Lady has not thought to pair the northwestern Orcs (who are the perfect horsemen) with her Centaurs (whom make the perfect steeds).

>The Orcs welcome the Rakers to their steppes, and find much joy in hunting with (and sometimes for) them.

>Eae does not command the orcs, only their Khan.
>But if Eae must, then the orcs see worthy partners in theological debate in the giants (whom are tough enough to survive the orcs' unusual form of "discourse").
>The Khan officially welcomes the delegation, and approves the trade route.

On second thought, allowing for such power in Event might set a bad precedent...

Troubling

I have a question, if I were to raise the dead of current species, would that be used as a create race or an event?

And would I have to do it for each race specifically?

Rolled 2, 2 = 4 (2d6)

You know Jewel, I have some Bone Knights, men who's skeleton serves as both an internal and external structure. It was a gift for the Red Lady, but as you can see, she didn't take it too well. You may have them, to improve relations.
(It would be Create Race I believe)

I would imagine that it would be a single thing if it were create race, provided you're raising them as zombies/ghouls/wights/whatever as opposed to simply their original race

Rolled 6, 2 + 25 = 33 (2d6 + 25)

It seems that there is a lull in the heavens...

Where is the new blood: Javel, Sacer, and Ssyleth?
Were are the old gods: the Lady and the Pilgrim, Yohl and Secaregis?
The ones forgotten: Whisacred, Alonda, even Efius?

Depends if you want to make them persistent or not. If you make an avatar, you could Command it to raise armies from the dead at any city (or better yet, a recent battleground). If you want to make a self-perpetuating race of undead, that's create species (I recommend using an avatar to do this one too, since we're now in the Third Age). If you want to make an order of Necromancers, that's Create Order.

If Jevel wants the Bone Nights, nothing is stopping him from Commanding them with an Avatar or Order/Sect.

Rolled 2, 4, 2, 1, 5, 3, 5, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5 = 48 (12d6)

Ah, there you are Whisacred.

You should think carefully about how you'll respond to the Khan's summons.
Uruk-Khan is the kind of orc that's likely to put out an extermination order for a race that displeases him, such as your monstergirls.

What if I made him into a monstergirl?
