    rolled 6 = 6

    18+4-6-5-6-4=1

    First 6 points is spent on creating my race, the Histra.

    The Histra are fairly weak and clumsy, and have no aptitude for magical or divine abilities. However, they are creative, loyal and social beings. Safety of the community is extremely important to them, and they seek to create very well defended cities to protect themselves. They are somewhat xenophobic, but generally will open themselves up to those that gain their trust.

    5 points on advancing their civilization with DEFENSIVE TACTICS: The Histra are weak, but clever. They utilize any advantage they can get to increase their cities' defense: Walls, towers, traps, destroying supply lines, they will take every edge (honorable or underhanded) to defend themselves from danger.

    I spend 6 more points to FOUND AN ORDER: The Vigil

    Walls, traps and ranks of loyal soldiers can defend you from invaders and other external forces, but they are ineffective against internal threats.

    The Vigil is an organization made up of well trained soldiers, bright detectives and wise advisors. Their task is to defend civilization from the corrupting forces within: betrayal, corruption and supernatural entities. Their jurisdiction generally lies within the walls of their cities, but in rare cases I may speak to their leaders directly to ask them to intervene in matters I believe require their attention.

    Think a combination of military police, anti-espionage police, and Ghostbusters.

    I spend the last 4 points commanding the construction of my first City, Bastion (as seen in map in the original post)

    Vatat sees disorder even in his perfect order, and is disgusted. To this end he creates his avatar Asmodeal, a giant of flaming iron ten feet high, crafted in mockery of the favored servants of nobler deities.

    His people are gifted with knowledge of the workings of the magic of hellfire and alteration. (Advancement: warlocks)

    From the Hares of the field, I race a short, swift bipedal race. Highly skittish, and more than a little xenophobic, they nevertheless appreciate the little things in life.

    They are largely nomadic, but the largest of their permanent settlements- a warren set into a series of great hills- lies on the southern plains, near the edge of the Treacherous Swamp.

    He had brooded for centuries after the death of his father, but Blackheart finally looked down from his lofty seat, and acted. His first act was to create life upon the land. he knew other gods were quicker than him in this, but he did not worry.
    His race was wrought from Magma, Obsidian, and Smoke. Fiery of temperament, with four arms, they quickly built for themselves a city, Uroth. And so the Lakima were made.
    And from their number, he found one cunning and deft, and poured in him the silence of smoke, the power of a volcano, and made his mind sharp as obsidian. This was to be his Avatar, Aram.

    With that, he gathered.

    A sect is founded within the Vashar, the Falseborn. Influenced by the Seeker, these self-revilers believe that the crime of their own existence can only be made up for by servitude to "properly" born races.

    The Librarians are a faction that follow Heilus the Ascended. Living a life of isolation and poverty, the Librarians are dedicated to the creation and preservation of arcane knowledge rather than personal profit. Their roles vary from simple farmhands and maintenance workers for Sanctuary's underground ravines, to copying spells down en masse, to actually creating new spells on behalf of the Ascended One.

    Of course, all who wish to join are accepted, but the Astra, losing the kindness of Bert when accepting Heilus, are cold and distant from non-Astra, and Heilus' bigotry is not lost on them.

    This race is known as the Ramunds. The people of their new race are not particularly strong or fast, but they do possess a fair amount of intellect. Concepts like accounting, banking, and handling numbers come very naturally to them. They have a love of labor that cannot be quenched and are not happy when they must remain idle mentally or physically. The workers are tenacious building and creating until they collapse.

    Six points spent to create: The Mercenary Core, a select group of Ramunds decide not to work in factories or attempt to enter their brutal business world and instead decide earn cash another way.

    I can imagine these two going to war. Not because of "good vs evil" or "order vs chaos" but simply ideological differences. It would be an interesting first meeting, a race whose primary power base is an order of detectives and soldiers who abstain from greed and focus on utilitarianism, and a race focused around capitalism, greed, and individuality.

    You guys are awesome. Bravo.

    Otherwise it would be impossible to Command them.

    Unfortunately, I must drop out of this game. Hopefully there'll be another one tomorrow, when I'll have much more time for playing.

    Shurthosh, he of many arms, is born this day! His powerful, jet-black body is torpedo-shaped, and ends in a writhing mass of tentacles. His five baleful eyes gleam scarlet red, and belie a ruthless cunning. With intimate knowledge of all waterways, Shurthosh is an excellent and accurate navigator. Should a captain find himself running astray, Shurthosh may help guide him back home safely. However, Shurthosh is capable of great destruction. It is said that those lost at sea sink to Shurthosh's lair, where their damned souls feel him. His many arms are powerful enough to crush warships, and his gigantic, ivory beak is capable of breaking even the hardest metals. In times of war, followers and favored of Krakanos the Seafarer can expect to be aided by this powerful being.

    Along with my avatar, I create the Korgites. These beasts stand about ten feet tall on average, and are invariably lithe creatures. Their wiry frames are covered in sinewy muscles, webbed hands and feet, wide like paddles, are on the ends of eight limbs (four legs and four arms). Rough, leathery skin that seems to perpetually weep mucus covers their bodies. Their faces vary in appearance. Short, knob-like heads protrude from thing shoulders. Wide, sucker-like mouths lined with small, jagged teeth and rimmed by tentacles and small, beady eyes take up most of the face. Some Korgites are also covered in a fine layer of hair.

Well create would be the wrong word, the Ramunds, feverish to establish contact with their gods seek to bring them to this world.

The project would be doomed to fail due the their lack of mechanical expertise, but the twin gods smiled upon their people and breathed life into the golem.

    Okay. Then the Korgites are excellent ship makers, navigators, and trappers. Sturdy ships carrying the pelts of wildlife indigenous only to the dark and mysterious swamps of the Nadog isles to the Southwest are prepared to commence trading with any willing races.

    Though they were born from a villainous god, the Korgites have a relaxed way of doing things.Though paladins and cleric of Krakanos spread debauchery and evil (in the most lawful way possible), most Korgite citizens want nothing more than to relax on their house-rafts and sip on swamp-ale.

    The capital city, Krastona, is one massive, fortified house-boat. Floating along in the center of the Bour-Tramps Lake, Krastona is home to many Korgites, and is the center of their pelt-trading business.

    Oh yeah?! Tolbar, use a splash atta- I mean, I advance my Drakar in weaponsmithing, stonemasonry - you know, for the ULTIMATE FORTRESSES - and the taming and usage of warbeasts. I also command my avatar to create a subrace of the Drakor, the Zeigan.
    The Zeigan are similar to the Drakor, but are much bigger, have no wings, are able to breath fire, and are arguably smarter.

    The nameless bard instills the idea of a numerical system to help organize the Birtonians better. This bureaucratic system makes other races (and most Birtonians) scratch their head in confusion, but helps to better organize the growing civilization.

    How about we state the turn in the subject line of our posts.

    Like so:

    ANYWAY
    Turn nine actions: 22 points to spend.

    Vatat stares down at his people, and is displeased. He sees them lacking in number and places to expand. And so, he decrees that the creation of two cities shall be in order. Kamashtor, the Ebon fortress, and Fal Drazat, the port city. (one by avatar, so -5)

    The order of the BlackIron brotherhood is created to maintain guard over this new land (-6).

    Finding his people's devotion still lacking, Vatat takes actions to ensure that they are more to his liking. He decrees his priests to be cast from their temples, and to walk among the people. (corrupt civ, -1 alignment) (-3)

    Finally, an army, known as the Legion of the Hammer and Chain, if formed. (-4) and positioned within the walls of the newly created citadel to watch for unlawful intruders.

    4 points remaining.

    The Vashar are eager to trade with the Histra, although this eagerness has as much to do with the potential riches gained as it does with the chance to spread the "enlightenment of order" to another people.

    Command Order (-3). The Body of the Ascended commands the Librarians to expand their influence. They trek the Savannah, and found an outpost town of Academy. While Enclave and Sanctuary are focused on creating and maintaining spells, Academy serves more as the face for the Order. Here, Astra teach vagrants and others the ways of magic, in exchange for something benefiting the Librarians, of course.

    Also, Librarians at Enclave come up with a breakthrough in Arcane studies. A Librarian has mastered divining. His first act was to spy on Derse. He promptly suffered a stroke and died. However, basic restoration has been researched.

    Aaaannd... out of points.

    Darner decides to send a message to the listeners of the Dawi for the first time since their creation. They must work on expanding further, they must not fall behind the more numerous races for that path leads to their downfall.

    Darner orders the Dawi to construct an additional city, far larger than Deepholm and connect the two cities together using an underground highway of epic proportions. Known as the 'Underway' this allows fast transport between the two cities, even passing under the ocean. The fortress city 'Cloudtop' is built on the highest mountain to the north.

    Vatat fumes over every tiny flaw in his people. He has created the perfect order for them, yet there are still imperfections, fractures and impurities in the crystal of his creation. The cities seem almost on the verge of breaking away from one another, and while the idea of the strong dominating the weak is not so abhorrent to him, the chaos it would cause!

    If only there were some way his chosen could communicate faster with one another.

    Yes, that is it. A track of stone, laid into the ground. Stable footing for horses. Replace the dirt and mud with a highway to cross the land, to connect the empire.

    He smiles, and communicates his inspiration to Asmodael, to ensure that it is done.

    In the minds of Blackheart Merchants, the voice of their god booms. "THE FIRST HAS RETURNED, MANY BE HIS WORKS."
    It is quickly determined by his followers that the Derse are fierce and proud, but not the most social. And the Gods of Light are ever watchful for the taint of evil. And so the Lakima became great dissemblers, their talent for deceit and trickery unmatched in the land.

    Sigmund and Goram look into the minds of their children and find something wanting. They lift themselves from their seats within the cosmos and sprinkle the knowledge of tactics and strategy into their heads. The Ramund's are now masters of strategy and many of them become gifted generals capable of leading armies with great efficiency.

    The golem-avatar is commanded again to create a city, this time from the side of a mountain. It's hands lifting tons of rock and dirt carefully carving the new settlement.

    A new order is created as well, The Nautical League. An alliance of merchant ships and guardian dreadnoughts that serve as the main navy for the Ramund people. They sail the seas en mass to deliver goods and carry out missions. While the majority of the ships are merchant carrying vessels the mighty engineering skill of Ramund ensure each ship is well defended by their massive dreadnought protectors. Each dreadnought sporting nasty canons. While they are no match for the children of Krakenos they hold their own in the sea.

    Meanwhile, the nameless bard walks into nearby forests, his single lute in hand, and plays a miraculous song to the forest creatures. Some creatures are enlightened by such music, quickly evolving into beastmen. (Command Avatar, Create Race: 2 points.)
