+NEW HYMN+
The old Hymn has ended and a new one must be sung; The Hymn of The Flourishing Eye must now be sung.

Due to a number of Advances in everything from technology, culture, magic, and the arts your people's lives have dramatically change from what they were previously like: Bamboo scrolls and the written word is common, magic is quite readily available, and the world as you've always known it has become quite small.

>+Ecological Development+

Most importantly though an Environmental/Ecological development has begun to occur on the mainland: the further advancement of more sophisticated Iron Tool working as well as significantly more advanced and complex magical practices have lead to the slow and methodical deforestation and replacement of the mainlands Forest with aggressive non-native plants that grow quite rampantly in the fertile, nutrient-rich, "old growth" fungal woods of the mainland. The animals you've accidentally or purposefully introduced have also had a huge a(e)ffect on spreading your native flora as well.

>Animals Introduced onto the mainland: Elephants, Island Deer, Jungle fowl, Banana Rat, & Tapir.
>Plants Introduced onto the mainland: Grasses, Bamboos, Palms, & numerous other leafing plants and trees.

That map looks awesome, and I like you've been developing the Cyclopean language a bit more.

Or would this be more of an action?

True. Maybe by "Use" them we can simply use them for inspiration instead. Learn how to catch the wind from how these feathers work.

Is it possible to have a hero be inspired and head out into the east, deep into the forests?

Mineral Dyes are not only common, but also very easy to work with and they look fantastic: most if not all of the finest Cyclopean clothing defined by prominent and striking Black and Red coloration and patterns soaked and worked into the finely woven fabrics.... and it remains this way for the time being.

>Above Average Success +Geomancy

One of your Sages and a handful of Geomancers in their free time have begun to experiment with the use of Water and Earth for divination purposes and this has lead to something peculiar: A large, flat, clay tablet is layed out and ontop it is placed a small fragment of Iron or Magnetite (magnetic volcanic rock). With a Single short poem- the black stone shudders and points in seemingly in the vague direction of the mainland. Mysterious.

>Develop and Experiment with the idea of a "Sail" using a Zizz Feather as a basis/prototype.
>Idea/Action 18/20 76/100
>Success on Both. +Fabrics +Boats

The Zizz feather is massive- but it weighs absolutely nothing.. and a few of your fishermen and woodworkers become inspired by how easily and effortlessly the feather seems to catch the wind. They wonder what else it can push or help glide and they "borrow" it to attach it to numerous things: Pots, Rocks, Felled Trees, an Elephant- it isn't until much later that it's confiscated by the Sage council and used for an actual intelligent purpose: The Weavers are told to observe and replicate a fabric product that will catch the wind as easily as the Zizz feather.

It takes a few weeks- the Zizz feather is returned a little scuffed up, but they do produce something: The Sail.

>+SAIL INVENTED+
>The Sail is a large piece of strong fabric capable of catching wind.

>>36880394

I didn't have room to put it in there, but the Sail can be used for all sorts of stuff so don't feel limited to just "boats". Like, if you work the Sail right it can be developed into a lot of different inventions.

For the longest time your people have seen entertainment come in a couple of forms: Sex for pleasure, hunting, fishing, gathering food while gossiping, and even more homosexual sex after your people found out where babies came from.
Elemental Magics though have become increasingly widespread due to the advent of Bamboo scrolls and an incredibly strong cultural attachement to communal learning: almost every cyclops has memorized a few simply hymns or chants and to most folks- listing off a poem off the top of their heads is quite simple. This has lead to a new development:

>+SOCCER HAS BEEN INVENTED+
>Soccer is a simple enough sport and it comes in two forms: HARD soccer which is played using Geomancy where a Stone is used as a ball and the many hollowed out "eye-holes" of the Megaliths on islands are used as a goal mark. Points are scored by passing the Stone through the Hole- it is very popular with young men. Soft Soccer is played much the same only the ball is made out of woven leather or hide- it is very popular among women, children, and the elderly.

A handful of your Cyclopes have begun to write and compile large bamboo scrolls with illustrious and beautifully drawn images of plants and animals as well as interesting pieces of information about them. These Scrolls are extremely popular with the Sages council as well as fishermen, farmers, woodsmen, hunters, and even children who enjoy looking at the illustrations. The Sages council begin making commissions and encourage the production of more such scrolls as well as their use by the common folk to extend information.

Your Sages are currently "mildly" panicking- the Zizz is not a mere bird, it is a force of nature: as great if not greater than the wind it rides upon.

They attempt to appease the wind in an effort to try and lessen the fury of the Zizz: Songs are sung, offerings are laid out, a shrine is built- the works.. Nothing. Anytime a Wind Elemental attempts to materialize it is blown away- only capable of leaving whispers behind.

The Zizz is the Wind. The Zizz Commands it. The Zizz Beckons and the world can be drawn breathless.

He removes the air to kill the fire, suddenly he is no longer surrounded by the element that he controls.
If anything fire can be a weakness, because it would make him remove his ability to use fire in order to defend himself.

We should be trying to understand the Zizz and work with him/her. The Zizz does keep the krakens from entering the reefs.

We should never try to kill or anger it.

The Weeping Sage has not taken shelter and cannot be found or located upon any of the other islands- He has not been seen since a few of the Men went out to guide and offer up the boats laden with offerings to the Zizz at the Reefs where upon it Nests and has been known to Frequent.

Your people can only assume that the Weeping Sage must be at the Reefs with the offerings and the boats- Perhaps preparing for the Zizz's arrival in his own way.

>The Zizz will soon arrive: The sun is completely obstructed, if your people weren't cowering they would be able to see the eye of the storm- the Center on which the Zizz's massive frame blows away the crackling and torrential storm that it has surrounded itself with. The Winds are blowing even harder, the waves are crashing upon all the shores of your lands, and it seems even the Fungal Forests of the mainland are receiving a beating- the Long, tall, capped fungal woods teetering back and forth in the winds.

The only solace we can get is that hopefully the elves are in the Zizz's area of effect.

>>36882006
We didn't want to murderhobo anything, we just wanted to be more connected with magic and open new possibilities.

When this is over, we should have a festival of the Zizz to commemorate our survival.

And maybe a Festival of the Cosmic Serpent to celebrate the brave sage who lost his life for knowledge and for the sake of the gorgons.

And of course two festivals for the Sun, on the winter and summer solstice.

Festivals of the Stars should probably occur when there is some astronomical event, like a favored constellation rising. Possibly once per month if we develop a zodiac.

>Pray
The Entire Sky is replaced with the Blanketing body of the Zizz and it's beak seems to align with the quaint archipelago your people call Home- There is no wind now, there are no clouds, there is no sky, and the rays of the sun, the glow of the moon, and the twinkle of the stars cannot reach your people. There is only the Zizz.

There is however another: The Weeping Sage. Compared to the Zizz he is beyond minuscule: what is a single sand flea after all to the surf of the tide? He prays. He prays upon the highest point, on the highest rocky out-crop, on the highest part of the reef, and he prays to anyone who can hear his prayers through the smothering presence of the Zizz's anger.

He prays to the Sun, and the Sun obliges.

The frame of the Zizz's body is spot-lit by a great and powerful expression of sun rays that causes the shadow of the Zizz to extend further upon all visible land. This great beam of light still remains obstructed though by the Zizz's great and all-powerful mass, but the Blind Sage see's his opportunity. Through the noise of the storm, brandishing the golden idols he confiscated from the offerings; he bellows out a mighty, boisterous, and symponic hymn that echoes across the heavens and through the Zizz's feather to commune with these heavenly solar beams and BEND the light so that it twists, arches, and is focused upon the very reefs he stood upon.

The Reefs glow- revealing the submerged skeletal structure below of an ancient and fossilized god. The Blind Seer is used as a medium as his body is disintegrated in the holy benevolent solar light he channeled through himself. The light is then used to project the towering visage of a great, tall, upright being of solar light- his arm extending, the Zizz landing on it like a tamed Falcon.

The Light offers the Boats as delicious morsels to the Zizz. The Zizz is indeed pleased- It's cry shaking the very world before it slowly flies off satisfied. The light wanes. Normality returns.

It takes a few weeks before the Zizz is completely out of sight.. and then and only then do your people find it appropriate to celebrate their not only survival, but the absolute glorious event they had witnessed.
As per tradition: Food is laid out, Drink is served, Elephants and Triceratops and all manner of fish and fruit are all baked and cooked up, music is played, and even a few spirits join in on the celebration.

Though, due to the nature of your peoples survival: A portion of all the proceeds and celebration is focused specifically on the Sun and it's personal efforts in the manner..... There is less drunken shenanigans for sure, but this does not stop your people from rampant indiscriminate celebratory fucking.

The Chronology of the weeping sages and the Cosmic Scrolls. And finally The Life story of the weeping Sage and his Heroism.

People have begun to collect it, and they wonder how it could be reproduced or worked with? Some of your followers of the Solar priesthood also note that Glass has been found at the sight where in the Sun struck golden lightning upon the earth- perhaps it has something to do with heat?

Violence does not come naturally to your people: they are kind, they are casual, they are expressive and very easy going people... but you are also hunters and you are also sportsmen. This didn't lead to an immediate development, but it HAS eventually lead to more sophisticated hand to hand combat techniques: wrestling, punching, blocks, kicks.. Whats more interesting however is a lot of your "outdoorsy" communities have begun to establish better uses of cover and a greater feel for forested environments: better use of cover, reading the land, hiding themselves despite their large size.

While I generally agree with you, and believe we should continue to grow through intellectual and artistic persuits, my only problem is that our peace isn't exactly secured.

Our situation with the Elves is still very one sided.

Though, The mysteries of the deep have begun to intrigue some of your people and the call of the depths beckons them further. Further Exploration of the Reefs and even going beyond- closer into the boundaries of the DEEP ocean reveal even LARGER and more intricate Corals with hollowed out crevices, nooks, and crannies that are far too small for a cyclops to enter, but appear to have pockets of air on the inside. The large corals also host numerous forests of Kelp that grow organize and adjacent to them- your people are keen to avoid them for risk of entanglement.

Fire is used in glass kinda elemental.

>>36884005
And sand is Earth. I think the fire and earth elementals could help us understand glass faster. Maybe even teach us how to make different kinds.

>Success +Pyromancy, +Craftsmenship,

A handful of your Craftsmen have become obsessed with the potential surrounding this newly discovered material known as "glass". They Work tirelessly to try and divine it's secret through both mundane and magical venues and eventually they end up briefly confiscating one of the Kilns for experiments. Their first results only end up in ugly round globs of glass that ruin the inside of the kiln, but through time, experimentation, and process they have it:

Primitive Glass. Blown into Orbs, woven and molded and worked through normal hands and at times the magical efforts of pyromancers and geomancers. The end result is a reliable source of Glass pots, Bowls, Mugs, and fine thick glass ware coming in the form of eye-catching greens, blues, and earthy reds.

>+GLASS INVENTED
>Glass is incredibly tempermental, expensive, and difficult to work with- but skilled craftsmen CAN produce it using a combination of rudimentary magical practices finely tuned with the assistance of master craftsmen.

They seem to be all female and capable of reproducing on their own just fine. This reminds me of a species of lizards that were all female but still had sex as a catalyst for reproduction.
It's the New Mexico Whiptail and the process is known as parthenogenesis

I wonder if beholder mixed offsprings would also be all female

>>36884579
The Cosmic Serpent implies that Gorgons are asexual and only need sexual stimulation to breed, not fertilization.

But yes, we should fix this.

>>36884607
Parthenogenesis.
It's probably this, as it would allow them to reproduce and evolve without need of males, just sex.
It's fine honestly.

Just like the forest "civilized" gorgon society has slowly pulled back with it: you haven't traded with them in YEARS and the only sign of them is the constant flow of migration leeching from the woods.

The Council of Sages finds this unacceptable and requests searching parties be direct by Heroes and lead to adventure into the dark recesses of the Forest- and they also make a request that any Gorgons who remember the way home are encouraged to assist in the Cyclopean Efforts towards Diplomacy.

They find them. They find Three of them in fact and what they find is beyond your people's expectations:
Three cities are spotted: They are seemingly walled in by a strange kind of "hanging" fungal wood that surrounds the cities and seem to prevent invasion. The cities all share a few things in common: At the center of each of them is a truly MASSIVE fungal tree where in a massive serpent is carved around the trunk and flows up to the underside of the mushrooms cap. The Entire city's urban development surrounds the single massive Tree and the housing quality improving the closer they are to it- The houses built upon the tree being the most lavished. They also all seem to be connected to one large visibly polluted river that connects and runs through all of them.

>+Cyclopes Culture Shock+
Your people have not been spotted, but they have seen Gorgon culture for themselves and they are disgusted: rampant over-crowding, visible, disgusting, class struggle- gorgons starving in the streets, gorgon prostitutes, gorgons killing, gorgons stealing, gorgons covered in gold, gorgons selling gorgons, gorgons keeping gorgons like livestock. They are repulsed, they are overcome with mixed feelings of superiority and a lust for conquest fueled by their own cultural island biases and traditions.

That's exactly what I was afraid of.

>>36884665
You know I'm kind of worried now.

I mean we might be justified in confronting gorgons, especially considering this debauched gammorrah we've stumbled upon, but I'd hate for their vices to spread to us.

If there are no male gorgons who are they prostituting to!?

>>36884665

So that means the gorgons are immigrating to us because they know they'd get better living quality.

Other female gorgons obviously. They're a monogendered society.

We should probably set up religious missions dedicated to educating and feeding the impoverished Gorgons, while turning away the upper classes.

>"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.

If providing the poor Gorgons with food is a problem, then I doubt we could properly feed them if we invaded and conquered them.

>Study the Elves Tools.

>Average Success. -Gorgon resentment

One of your Sages wonders what happened to the Elven technology that was confiscated and soon the entire sage council on the mainland community is wondering about it as well. They had largely forgotten about it, but through a spot of detective work they discover...

>-Elven Technology gone to root

The Elven Technology that has been placed within the Monolith for Safe keeping seems to have germinated and taken root: both the ?Log?, the ?Coat?, and the ?underclothing? have all seemed to mold away into an underlying bed of Fungal teal/purple hued growth that has begun sprouting into Saplings of Fungal wood that's collar high to a Cyclopes- with a few visible ferns and smaller, heartier, rubbery fruiting fungal growths rising forth from the gun. Most of the equipment has overgrown and germinated beyond proper identification.

When asked why no one had noticed this sooner all the Sages -in between sips of fermented fruit juice- agree that they had simply thought that had been always growing there. They do however agree that it does tie together the Shrine quite nicely.
