Year 1

You are Karagon, a cunning God of knowledge. As you look at your body, you see clawed hands and beige feathers, with long strands of braided hair flowing from your head. A small, sharp beak adorns your flat face and your feet sprout impressive talons. As you turn your attention from yourself to your environment, you spot a small, feathered figure prostating itself before you. You sense a small spark of divinity in the creature.

"Rise"

The creature gracefully stands up and introduces itself as your Archangel, Tyto. Though smaller and sporting only feathers on his head, he has the same form as yourself. He explains he was sent here two centuries earlier to make preparations for your arrival. He has constructed a circular citadel, completely out of live trees. This domicile he aptly named Karagon's Roost.

He also knows about the grove your domicile has been constructed in, your loyal followers, the Owlfolk of Rhadagast, Murjõ and the Claw, three tribes in the area. Quite an expansive following for a God as new as you. These tribes, however, are not the only ones to nest within the titanic forest you call home. Other nearby folk are the Stags of Aeylin, the Wood elves of Jys and the Nymphs of the Ivory River.

Lastly, he hands you a scroll. These Status Scrolls will be presented to you at the beginning of every decennium.

Status Scroll of the Year 0
Essence: 5

King: Karagon of Knowledge

Servant 1: Archangel Tyto
Servant 2: -

After taking in these numbers, you decide it is time for action. What will your first decision as a God be?
A: Visit your followers
B: Visit the other creatures of the forest
C: Attempt to contact other Gods
D: Stay in your court to await visitors

>>2468015
A: Visit your followers

Tyto also offers you a small explanation. Essence is both your life essence and the energy you spend on divine acts. The amount of essence you gain is dependent on your following and your orthodoxy. Every decennium, followers amounting to a score of 1 following generate 1 essence, modified by their orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is the zeal of your followers, how important your religion is within their lives. Currently, your Orthodoxy is quite low, so you gain only 1 essence every year. Furthermore, Your host size is the size of your personal army. The lists below lists the members of your Pantheon, currently only yourself and Tyto. There's enough room in your domicile for a spouse and an underling, but to add more divine beings to your court you will need to expand it.

You announce Tyto that you shall embark on a grand journey through the lands of the three tribes that follow you.

The first destination on your list are the owlfolk of Rhadagast. Their main town lies in the middle of a large clearing in the woods. You stride through the central gate in the primitive wooden pallisade and are greeted by a menagerie of colourful buildings. Amongst them walk brown owlmen, most of them sporting impressive browfeathers. Though most greet you politely, and some even bow, they do not seem to care that much about your arrival. It seems that this world is young enough for Gods to still walk on the earth. Their King, Rhadagast, politely welcomes you and offers you gifts of dried herbs, furs, and skull totems before you depart. The king also offers his young niece as a bride, if you so desire.

A: I gratefully accept the hand of your niece in marriage, King Rhadagast.
B: I can find a better spouse, but your offer honours me.
C: An insult to me, your God! I shall decapitate you with my own talons!

>>2468181
Take the offerings, but leave the daughter. Her knowledge would need to be great if she were to be wed to us.

>>2468181
B

>>2468181
>B: I can find a better spouse, but your offer honours me.
I'd like to emphasize that it's not an insult to him or his niece to reject the offer, but we've got other tribes to visit and other potential brides to assess. Let's leave the offer on the table, for now.

>>2468181
>B
I'd prefer a divine wife to a mortal.

>>2468181
B: I can find a better spouse, but your offer honours me.
It's too early to find a wife

>>2468237
I think the wife would eventually become an immortal or something

Your visit to the owlfolk of Murjõ is more fruitful. Their capital is located atop a high hill, and the white chalk of their primitive stone buildings can be seen from miles. As you enter the town, all that see you bow down and chant songs in your praise. King Murjõ welcomes you with open arms in his flower-filled gardens, and treats you like an old friend while still remaining respectful. He offers you gifts of wood carvings, rough gemstones and slaves to work in your domicile. He then asks for your guidance on a matter that has bothered the town for months now. One of their sacred water sources has been taken by a nymph, who now refuses to let anyone near the crystal clear pool.

A: I have some tips for your people and how to deal with nymphs like these yourself.
B: I shall spend a fraction of essence to smite that hellish creature.
C: I am sure that I am cunning enough to trick the nymph into leaving without using essence.

>>2468254
>C: I am sure that I am cunning enough to trick the nymph into leaving without using essence.
Gotta show we're a god worth worshipping, boost up that orthodoxy.

King Murjõ falls to his knees to thank you. As you leave the castle, an entourage starts forming behind you, following you to the sacred pool located out of town. As you leave the gate, you walk for at least an hour before leaving the roads and entering the forest. During your trip, your sphere of knowledge allows you to gain a rudimentary understanding of nymphoid behaviour from the people around you.

Nymphs are entities taking the form of groups of bathing human women. These groups, always seven in size, consist of six ancillae and one regina, the ancillae being nothing but shells controlled by the regina. They are the mistresses of lust and pleasure, with incredible. Seeing as there are no males of their species, they often seek powerful individuals of other species to mate with. Their mating sessions can last for decades, during which they become incredibly territorial. Their children are almost never nymphs, but often monsters, beasts, or altered mortals.

As you finally reach the pool, you can see why it's been deemed holy. It's water is crystal clear, and shimmers with natural magic. More notably however, are the women within. The most notable one seems to be mating with a gargantuan serpent of sorts. The other women start screeching a horrifying noise as soon as they spot you, sounding like a mixture between an eagle's call and the hissing of a cat.

With a snap of your fingers, you silence the wenches, and the nymph seems to realize who you are.

A: "Mate elsewhere, wench. This pool belongs to me."
B: "I challenge you to a game of riddles, harlot."
C: "You mate with a scaly, mud-crawling beast of the forest? I can do much better than that, if you give me what I want."

"Fool!", the nymph hisses. "I accept your challenge!"

Six hundred and thirty-nine riddles later, you emerge victorious. Not one of your riddles she guessed, and not one of her riddles you missed. Defeated and angry the nymph leaves the pool. The serpent has a look of utter disappointment on its face.

King Murjõ is exhilirated! To honor your victory, he has decided to throw you a feast on the rocks of the pool. The fattest roasted rodents are served, with lush side dishes of fowl, fruits and legumes accompanying them. Additionally, your first Myth has been created! The bards already sing songs of The Owl, The Nymph, and the Serpent's Pool, and these oral legends are sure to be told for decennia.

"Syss'syeth, I must apologize for disrupting your session and calling you those names. I was unaware of your sapience." you say to start the conversation. "Oh, no my lord. Though enjoyable, the mating was not consensual. My being is bound to this pool so there was little I could do but comply. A being as grand as yours should never have to apologize."

You continue your conversation, and learn much about Syss'syeth. He once was a feared monster, before even the owlfolk lived within the forest. After being defeated, a demigod bound his soul to the bedding of this enchanted pool, having him protect the waters eternally. He does not seem to have left his little confinement in almost a millennium, and longs to see the world. You start to feel pity for the creature.

A: His punishment was just, for he has killed many in his life.
B: He deserves his freedom. Let him roam the world.
C: He deserves his freedom, in the confinements of my court! I shall free him and have my second servant.

>>2469002

This way we can have him killing the right people. Our enemies.

>>2469002
D: Other?
We will change these agreements. He will be bound by the pool and us as I do not want the people to lose their pure water.
BUT, here is the good news. We will let him roam for a time. every year, he is allowed time to roam the world in two weeks times, or whenever we deem he may. He is to not kill any of our worshippers. Though he is allowed to kill any evil entities as he sees fit.

Oh I like this supporting.
Also gives the potential for a local religious festival/observance coinciding with the event.

>>2469002
C: He deserves his freedom, in the confinements of my court! I shall free him and have my second servant.
This is good.
>>2469055
Isn’t bad, but him leaving wouldn’t actually effect the pool’s magic or whatever, he was just it’s guard. We can give the tribe who live nearby the sacred task of guarding it, after consecrating it in our name. We could put a bit of our essence into it or something so it grants insight and clarity of mind or some such when drank from. Makes them feel important, we get a cool “Sacred Site” for our followers to worship us at or make pilgrimages to or whatever, everybody wins.

C: He deserves his freedom, in the confinements of my court! I shall free him and have my second servant.

Make the offer. I suggest we put full freedom (with restraints, e.g. not killing our followers) on the table in a thousand years. Gives him incentive not to back stab or manipulate against us when the court grows. If he will always have the chance of freedom he has no reason to risk going against us.

"I can offer you freedom, if you join me at my court."

Syss'syeth seems exhilarated. Finally, freedom. Without a second of doubt, he agrees to serve you in your court, as long as you refrain from confining him to your domicile. You use a fairly simple spell to break the enchantment chaining him to the pool. Murjõ too, seems exited. Finally, he and his people can truly enjoy the sanctity of the pool without Syss'syeth's dilution. He promises you to construct a shrine at the site, to honour your exploits.

Soon, Syss'syeth the Devourer slithers away in the direction of your domicile.

After a feast lasting three days, you depart, for the owlfolk of the Claw. However, though following Tyto's instructions and searching intensely, you are unable to find these mysterious followers of yours.

A: Call of the search, I need to return to my domicile to rule!

Well, that seems sort of bad.

Two years, you spend looking for the owlmen, to no avail. They seem nowhere. Two whole years, wasted. Maybe, the owlmen of the Claw are nothing but a legend. Maybe they intentionally hide from you. After two entire, wasted years, you return to your domicile, restless and humiliated. There, you seem to have missed a lot.

The Sylvanic pantheon, the ruling pantheon of the grove, sent multiple parties of delegate to meet you. In your absence, however, Tyto was the only one able to receive them, leaving the Sylvanic Gods insulted.

Year 3

With Syss'syeth in tow and Tyto watching over your domicile, you depart for the Sylvanic Gods. You have heard stories of these powerful entities before, way older than yourself. Five Gods and their underlings, united in a single alliance. Though their followers can only speak of their unity and friendship, you are sure any alliance by creatures as powerful and different as these is a shambling husk, filled with backstabbery, intrigue and conflict. Their residence is rumored to be in a overgrown chasm in the forest, protected by runic spells of immense power.

The journey is tough. An entire month you spend, trying to get there. Eventually, as the underbrush gets thicker and thicker, you feel the air swell with the cold thickness of runic magic. Eyes seem to be everywhere, peeking from roots, branches, bark and stone. Finally, you reach a clearing. A deep ravine, utterly overgrown with a thousand different plants. Glowing runes carved into whatever stone remains bare, the bark of ancient trees and even the leaves of tiny weeds. A mighty waterfall seems to be flowing on the walls of the chasm, though instead of downwards, the water is traveling up, feeding an emerald green river. Atop a rock, within this river, an imposing beast stands, its eyes pointed at you. After an imposing roar, it charges.

A: Smite the behemoth where it stands.
B: This tiny reptile will be no match for the might of Syss'syeth the Devourer.
C: Try to reason with the frothing beast.
D: Flee!

Syss'syeth lunges in front of you, intercepting the charging beast. He hisses, as the thing digs its teeth deep into the Devourer's flesh. Syss'syeth is equally as quick to strike back, burying row after row of dagger-sized teeth in the beasts torso and neck. The fight is fierce, yet after a while, Syss'syeth manages to wrap his gargantuan body around his enemy. Sickening noises of shattering bone come from the creature, as your servant starts constricting his weakened prey. It does not take long before the beast's mangled corpse lies before you, bloodied, and contorted in a manner of unnatural ways. Syss'syeth looks at you, with pleading eyes, begging for permission to devour his kill.

>A: You have done your job properly, you deserve this feast and the power it will bring you.

We are facing an ensemble of gods, each one older and more powerful than us. If this will make him more powerful, so be it. We're gonna need that power.

Syss'syeth seems disappointed, though he obeys your command. The two of you continue your decline into the chasm unhindered.

Light seems to fade as you descend further and further, until the only light comes from the ever-prevalent runes, carved everywhere, growing denser with every step you take. You start to see patterns in them, lines of runes, running along the walls, until they finally coalesce into a single locus on the rocks. A keyhole, of sorts. As you place your hand upon it, the rock around you starts to shift. It appears as if they were expecting you.

Beyond lies a bright hall, constructed solely of sunrays and pure canopy. An odd construction, mortals would not completely comprehend. At the end, five thrones, in different shapes and sizes. Four empty, with an imposing oak overgrowing the central one. Kul Kul, the sacred Oak God. God of plants and Patron God of all the plant races within the fortress, as well as some animal ones. You feel his incredible age radiating out of him. Without a mouth, yet with a thousand booming voices, he greets you.

"Karagon of Knowledge. Owl-God. What brings you to my domicile?"

"Humble Owl-God, I appreciate your remorse. It is, however, not me you have angered. I fear it was my daughter, Aeysha, Goddess of the Hunt, who has developed a grudge. It was she who cast a spell of blindness upon you while searching for the Owlmen of the Claw, as they were her most prized followers before the appearance of your cult. You will have to make amends to her, though I doubt she will accept them."

"Where is she, then?", you ask.

"She is off, hunting a rogue goddess, not unlike yourself. There is little room for spare Gods like the two of you in this fortress. Her remains elusive though, as this hunt has already taken her more than five years."

A: "I thank you for your understanding, and I shall take my leave."
B: "Who are the other Gods and Goddesses of your pantheon?"
C: "Who is this hunted goddess you talk about?"
D: "Was that a veiled threat, you overgrown bonsai? This means war!"

This depends on the orthodoxy of your followers. The higher it is, the more you'll be able to make them believe.

>>2473200
I meant directions of believe, like "always try to settle a dispute with words, use violence as a last resort. That sort of thing

"Who is this rogue goddess you speak of?"

"Melyanne, the Goddess of all Fae. At least, that is what she calls herself. Two centuries ago, she appeared, worshiped by the seven pixie tribes that called this fortress home. She was powerful, unpredictable, aided by the magic of her followers. To weaken her, Aeysha has had to kill most of her followers, something she did not take kindly to. Now, only the Lavender Pixies and the Amber Pixies remain, hidden away in the forest. Aeysha has been chasing Melyanne ever since she killed the last queen of the now extinct Cloud Pixies five years ago, only stopping once to pay you a visit."

"And what about the Gods of your Pantheon? Who are they?"

Kul Kul laughs bombastically. "You will find that out on your own, God of Knowledge. Now, leave me be, I have matters to attend to. And make sure you keep your eyes on that serpent of yours. It would be a bother if I'd have to waste another twenty of my grandchildren to subdue the damned thing."

You bow, and leave, returning to your own domicile, where Tyto awaits your return, nervously.

Year 4

"My Lord, I bring news of great importance. The Owlmen are readying for war. The Owls of the Claw feel insulted by the other tribes, as you only visited Rhadagast's and Murjõ's men! Meanwhile, Murjõ's men find that Rhadagast has improperly received you, and they are ready to wage war for your honour! Chunks of the Rhadagastian population are attempting to secede in this chaos of looming warfare, calling themselves the Owlmen of Yaathi"

A: There will be peace between my followers, I shall summon their leaders to stop this madness at once!
B: The Owlmen of Rhadagast have my support in this matter!
C: The Owlmen of Murjõ have my support in this matter!
D: The Owlmen of the Claw have my support in this matter!
E: The Owlmen of Yaathi have my support in this matter!

Your actions directly inspire your followers. If you choose violence, they will too. If you choose peace, so will they. Events like these will set predicaments for the future, and there will probably also be events where you directly preach values and morals to swathes of followers.

We should get them to blame the huntress goddess for everything instead.

CUNNING

Also, we should say that violence is a tool, neither good nor bad but measured in how you effectively apply it. Also use it at the correct time. Look at what happened to snakebro when he went all discriminately killing stuff, that's just bad application man.

You send out Tyto to summon the leaders of the owlmen. Two weeks later, King Rhadagast, King Murjõ, Great Claw Adrukhan and Prince Yaathi stand before you. Especially the look of Adrukhan surprises you, as the purple feathered man is gargantuan, bearing imposing horns. A true opposite of the tiny Yaathi.

King Murjõ starts the ceremony by saluting you, praising your divinity. Rhadagast and Yaathi do the same, though less enthousiastic. Adrukhan just begrudingly nods to acknowledge your presence.

And with that, the debates begin. Your stance is the following:

A: The four tribes should unite under a single leader, without warfare.
B: The four tribes should unite under a council, consisting of you.
C: The four tribes should leave each other be, and focus their aggression on those who do not adhere to you.

As for Yaathi independence and representation:
A: Yaathi's owlmen deserve independence from Rhadagast's followers and shall thus be represented.
B: Yaathi's owlmen have no say in this matter, as King Rhadagast will speak for them.

>>2473410
Firstly, apologize to Adrukhan, and inform him that our meeting with his people was interfered with by the actions of Aesha, whom still felt herself the god of his people. That out of the way, let's suggest that
>B: The four tribes should unite under a council, consisting of you, and four of their most trusted emissaries
While expecting the rulers to simply sit around here to chat with us would be rather unreasonable, considering they have nations to rule, having them each leave their most trusted subordinate here to form a council should be reasonable. Before we decide the matter of Yaathi's independence, I'd rather like to hear the full story behind their reasons for secession from the Owlmen of Yaathi themselves, and what the other Owlmen rulers have to say on the matter of this secession. A few relatively unbiased views should be helpful.

For hours, the five of you debate. Hours turn into days, and days turn into weeks. The days are serious, filled with talk after talk, and grudge after grudge. Yet, after a time, you feel you've managed to let the four kings grow closer. Adrukhan has forgiven you, and swears to burn and loot one of Aeysha's temples for you in retaliaton. When you finally put forth the suggestion of a joint ruling council, a plan you had been brooding on for days, pretending it was a sudden thought, the four kings wholeheartedly agree. If you were ever to beget a child fit for ruling, he could assume leadership of the council, but for now, no absolute leader will have to do. As the celebrations are prepared, one important matter remains unsettled. Yaathi's independence, within the coming union.

Yaathi: "I descend from a long line of Kings. Seventy years ago, my tribe was conquered by Rhadagast's father, yet not assimilated. Our culture remains. Our physical appearance remains. Our capital still stands, though in shambles after decades of neglect. Therefore, I humbly request our own representation within the coming council. We are small, so a single delegate would be enough."

Rhadagast: "Yaathi is an upstart owlet with delusions of nobility. He is only the second son of his father, and thus has no proper claims to the throne, and my people. For years now, he has been rebelling, making life harder for all of my followers."

Murjõ: "The war that ended the independence of Yaathi's folk was a cruel one. They were our allies, mighty despite their stature. The war, however was lost, and their subjugation sadly was part of the treaty we signed."

Adrukhan: "Adrukhan holds no sway in these matters. Adrukhan does not care one way or another."

A: Yaathi deserves full independence and representation!
B: Yaathi will be allowed to sit on the council and debate, yet his and Rhadagast's people remain one!
C: This pretender will have no seat, and is a threat to stability within the realm-to-be. Off with his head!

As for the name of the newfound nation, you have decided on: ______

>>2477419

"We are one nation, your people are equals and I will not have you fighting amongst yourselves and holding on to old grudges, for this is much to do and never enough time. Yaathi will have a seat on the council, his people will be given full citizenship, but, for now, they are in your charge Rhadagast. I will expect you to treat them with dignity and respect, as your own natural-born sons, as I treat all of you with that same respect. I am putting the utmost faith in you both to prove your wisdom. As we grow, we will conquer some, and convince others, and as we grow they too shall be brought into the fold, so I ask you... are you both up to the task?"

The Yaathi, as a nation, shall become vassals of Rhadagasts for another thirty years before getting their full independence where they'll be released with a celebration.
Until that time comes you will restore the glory of the capital, but only move there properly until it's well dependable. We will not have them be easy prey for others. I count on the assistance of Murjo and Arukhan as well.

Those thirty years of wait time shall be neither Yaathi nor Rhadagast have something to gain or lose immediately, and might not even live to see it, so personal feelings and greed will have no sway in that matter. However, it will see how they are to be remembered.

I’ll support the concept of releasing them fully after 30 years, though they’ll have representation in the meantime. It will give us time to repair their capital somewhat, and work out any kinks in the matter. That aside, I’m thinking we should put Tyto on the council as our representative, during times we’re absent. It’d be ideal to sit on the council ourselves, but as a god I doubt we’re going to be around all the time, so I say we have Tyto speak for us when we aren’t. Also, I’d like to hear from the Owlmen about all the surrounding nation, and what they know of their gods. Tyto gave us some of the basics, and we learned a bit more from the Sylvannic Council, but I’d prefer a more in depth view of the surrounding regions, as well as the ruler’s personal opinions on the people who inhabit it.

I don't see the gain in her marrying us.
It wouldn't make her love us or guarantee that she wouldn't go against us in the future

I like the idea of the game of hide and seek though

You order the gate opened, and speed toward it. As your gifted slaves hoist the mighty door upwards, you see a cloaked figure standing in the rain, leaning heavily upon a staff. Her shoulder is pierced with a large, wooden spear, bearing a mean looking barbed hook. Purple magic is visibly flowing from the wound. Pure, godly essence. By the colour of her essence, you immediately know that this is Melyanne, the Goddess of all Fae

You guide her inside, removing the spear and blasting some essence to close the wound. You have her seated, and serve her a bowl of the fae's favourite food: butterflies. Her once ancient and wrinkled face begins to return to a more youthful state, yet her pale eyes seem to remain blind. After six bowls of butterflies, she finally says her first words.

"Your hospitality is commendable, Owl God. I owe my life to you. Aeysha is out for my blood, yet my domicile has been burnt and my followers murdered. I am a floating leaf, slowly fluttering down to fall to the ground. Yet for now, you have been the gust of wind to keep me fluttering longer, and I thank you for that."

A: "I can be the storm that blows you to another tree and reattaches you. Wed me and enjoy my protection for centuries to come, Fae Goddess!"
B: "Stay for as long as you like, and enjoy the sanctity of my domicile. You owe me nothing."
C: "I am not your saviour, but your doom! You are my hostage now, my amends to Aeysha. Off to the dungeons with you, witch!"

Explain to us the pros and cons of marriage and if polygamy is an option.
And hiw long it lasts for immortal beings. (Also if divorce is a possibility)
on that note, also divine reproduction (do we have parents?)

>>2480248
Through marriage, powerful alliances are forged. Entire pantheons are shaped by marriages. Therefore, the first advantage will be that your spouse joins your pantheon. This brings a lot of benefits, especially in rare marriages between gods. Both essence and following between the deities would be merged, and the orthodoxy level would be averaged. Your hosts would join to create a larger force, and any other fusable things, such as systems for magic, exquisite temples and powerful artifacts, would become the shared possession of the both of you. But, the most important aspect is the fact that you can beget children with your partner. Gods, Heroes, Monsters and Mortals, all born from the womb of your loved one.

Extramarital relationships are a possibility, yet if your real wife does not accept the children born from them, you will be forced to send them far away.

Gods might not be touched by age or disease, they remain far from immortal. Usually, marriages take until divorce of death of one of the two participants.

As far as we know, we are a rare case of a God without parents.

I expected more from the goddess of the fae. Brought low by a single goddess of the Hunt. Your followers slaughtered and your foe undefeated. Do you know you lost?

It's quite simple.

Its because you played HER game instead of your own. You took part in her hunt you were thus doomed to fail. That is why your losing and why if you keep on this path you will die. Of that, there is no doubt.

If you want to win. If you want to live. You MUST change the game being played to YOU'RE own. NOT hers.

So keep running and hiding Goddess of the Fae. Keeping playing her Game. She loves the hunt. It brings her power and your weakness.

Or you show them all WHY you are powerful Goddess of ALL Fae. Show them WHY they made the terrible decision in becoming YOUR enemy and SLAUGHTERING your Fae.

They believe your loss of followers has weakened you...but they made a fatal mistake my dear. They think you'll keep playing their game. They think the Fae are a trifling foe. One so easily crushed and exterminated.

Yet look at your people. They hunger for vengeance. They survived despite it all! Those who survived are the best of the best. All they need is the right push. The right guidance and they will make their foes weep tears of blood and reap what they sowed.

More importantly look at their dead. They wish for justice. They want their living kin to be saved. They do not slumber so easily now do they?

Everyone thinks only the living can offer us power...but they forget the dead. We are worshipped to help the living and dead. They ask for our blessings and aid in their afterlife. The gods of the Death know this best of all, but if I didn't know a bit then that would be shameful indeed.

In that regard, you are in fact much more powerful than even I. Your power is not only of the living fae but also the dead. Yet you still walk in the lands of the living.

So tell me Goddess of all Fae why is it that you only listen to the living Fae? Why is it you have not gone to the lands of the dead? Do you think Aeysha will take you there? I am afraid us dying doesn't take ourselves to the lands of the dead automatically like the living.

Though I must admit you are not completely incompetent. You did come to the god of Knowledge for aid no? So your not completely beyond redemption. Now I have given you a taste of my power. It is up to you to decide how you will use it. As I am no god of domination or leadership. Knowledge is all I can offer.

Aeysha is a fool who thinks me weak. They all look down at me and I can understand that, yet they also look down on you. Truth is you are far more powerful then anyone realizes. Its why they strike at your people, but they forget your Sway is not over only the Living Fae, but ALL Fae. If you wish to have your power back you must learn to tap into that fact.

You have great and terrible potential Melyanne. They are jealous and your potential is a threat. You have the ability to start your own pantheon and more.

"That will not do, Owl God. Of course I owe you."

Slowly, Melyanne takes off one of the many rings on her fingers. A golden one, beset with a cloudy lavender stone. "A mighty artifact, allowing one to call upon faery lighting at will. It might not be much for you, but it would make a prosperous gift for a hero.

With a snap of her fingers, and a fuchsia spark, she dissappears.

I was thinking... maybe use the fact zhat we are the God of Knowledge.

Devise a Book on the Art of War.
Turn the soldiers into zealots who hone their craft to their best knowledge, ability and conscience.
Have even lower ranking ones be studious.
They shall help with the fortification of the Yaathi capital.

An obvious choice. We need more firepower at our disposal

One thing we should keep in mind is what a potential wife or pantheon partner brings to the table. Even though Melyanne has fire powers and fairy shit, she has been described as unpredictable, has no followers, and is currently on the run. We need a wife whose domains and temperament are a complement to us, and who can bring useful followers with her.

Also we should study the ring to learn how to duplicate its powers and effects, and disseminate that knowledge to our mortal followers who show proficiency in magic. Since it can call lightning at will, we could use it as a power source for other things as well, or give it to an owl mage and have him make lightning wands or something for our armies.

hmm...
gotta say I not a fan of one event a year to which we can react once before the next year rolls around
I want an active protagonist, not a reactive one

Let us do something
we never did anything with our essence.
Let's make some miracle happen, we're a god, after all

>>2480407
this is fine, fuck off

>>2480415
I was a fan so far, but the last two years felt way too rushed
I just want it to be good.

>>2480423
again, it's just your personal, subjective opinion
if it were broke, more people would complain, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

>>2480438
Yes, I admit that. But so is yours.
And "fuck off" is not a great way of reacting to criticism.
I didn't say it's broken either, I'm saying that there was a trend in those last two updates and that he might want to leave us more to do

There was a discussion on what to do with Melyanna, with a post longer than the update itself.

QM is a reasonable guy from what I've seen so far

I like these ideas.

Hm, she does still have followers if memory serves, doesn’t she? Aeysha has exterminated three of the five pixie tribes that served her, but if Kul Kul is to be believed two of the tribes still persist. The Amber Pixies and the Lavender Pixies, if I’m remembering correctly. Anyways, I’ll go with

No reason to turn down free help.

>>2480407
I understand why it might seem rushed and uneventful. Still, these years are not because I rush updates (though I gotta admit, the last one was), but because I want to make it feel like time passes. We're a God, and immortal being, and I feel like playing on a human timescale might diminish the fact that we're actually a being destined to live centuries.

Also, if children are born, It'd be a bore to have to wait five threads before they grow up.

I'll pay attention to the fact that the years might seem a bit to empty now, though.

Writing.

Prepare for a shit storm guys
We cucked the godess of the hunt from followers,gave her enemy sanctuary, and raided one of her temples
She's coming for our ass in the next few turns i can feel it

Callyx bows before you, and he quickly heads back to his men camping outside of the domicile, to tell them to move their belongings to their new home. Within minutes, the camp and your fortress are buzzing with activity. For the first time, that night, soldiers are patrolling the walls of your wooden home.

Meanwhile, three oddly dressed owlmen have come to pay you a visit. Their feathers are dyed a pure white, and their eyes seem off, having slit pupils instead of round ones. You can feel a weak spell lingering from them, probably a cosmetic one causing the pupils to contract. They wear robes of white and black, with golden rings adorning their claws. They announce themselves as the high priesthood of The Cult of the Devourer, a newly formed cult that has been gaining popularity, especially amongst Murjõ's men. They are devoted to your underling Syss'syeth, having started to worship him after he joined your pantheon as your servant. They come to bring you an offer.

"We wish to construct a personal, more suitable domicile for the Devourer, oh exalted Owl God!" the High Priest exclaims. "An expansion to your own domicile. We bring plans of a great courtyard, with a pool of sacred water, beautiful plants and wondrous aquatic creatures for the exalted Syss'syeth, as well as a grand marble shrine. A waterscape fit for a being as grand as himself."

The expansion of the domicile would free up the chambers Syss'syeth now occupies, allowing you to take in another underling. With his own cult, and the worship he gains from it, Syss'syeth would also grow in power tremendously, possibly allowing him to even reach Godhood in decades, provided that his cult is allowed to flourish. With Syss'syeth as a proper member of your pantheon, his worship will not cost your pantheon any followers, though if he leaves the pantheon through banishment or betrayal, he might take his fair share of followers with him, as all worshiped beings do.

The construction of the Devourer's Lake would take 5 years, and be finished in Year 11

A: A marvelous idea. Set to constructing the Lake at once!
B: I can not have beings other than me worshiped in my pantheon! Abandon your faith or abandon your life!

>>2480801
>A: A good idea. You may get to it
But there are a few things I'd like to change for the pool.
1. No shrine. Only shrine allowed will be of Karagon
2. Snakebro isn't allowed more than 1/12 of my followers, because if he revolts, numbers have to be on our side

>>2480818
I agree with no shrine, but how exactly would we keep Syss'syeth's followers under a certain amount? Murder excess ones?

>>2480801
A: A marvelous idea. Set to constructing the Lake at once!

We should talk to our Snakefriend about this, too. Tell him we're happy for him, that he's getting on his feet, tell him he'll be a welcome addition to the pantheon in time, but also remind him we're still top dog. He can be allowed to blossom so long as he remembers where his loyalties lie, which may be difficult for a creature of pure hunger.

>>2480801
This really worries me, but

>A: A marvelous idea. Set to constructing the Lake at once!

Hopefully Syss'syeth will just by the Omnisiah to our Emperor.

>>2480822
Good point. Maybe we can try and keep this cult kinda secret and not open to the public or something

>>2480801
>A: A marvelous idea. Set to constructing the Lake at once!

>>2480829
I'm kind of looking and Hisshiss as a friend that got kicked out and crashes on your couch for a while and when he gets his shit back together, he makes up for it in a big way.

>>2480801
Feels like he's been treated like shit most of his life
Hope worship won't get to his head.

Treat our friends well, but always have a knife behind our backs just incase he acts like a snake should and betrays us

>>2480801
>A: A marvelous idea. Set to constructing the Lake at once!
Let’s touch base with the snake in question to start with, though. I mean, I doubt he’ll pass up the opportunity, but who knows? Maybe becoming a god doesn’t particularly interest him.

>>2480801
>A: A marvelous idea. Set to constructing the Lake at once!

>>2480818
The best prevention for a revolt from snake bro is to treat him like an equal and entrust him with responsibility. As well as possibly adopting/educating him.
