Background: The Paleworm cares not for raw strength, nor for political influence; not even for this new universe that is mother to him. It would seem that he seeks to outlast it, and to behold the end of it, giving birth to a new kind of reality. In the meantime, his power grows as he swallows more items/entities of fateful significance and hoards them in his long belly.
To mortals, he appears an endless beam in the night sky; to gods, he appears a long, pale worm with a bulbous, featureless head and his whole body covered in scintillating scales of the clearest glass.

Rules:

The Fundemental Engery of the Universe - Ren:

Each God possesses an amount of Ren. This is the power of the spark of creation. It has limitless versatility and can be used for almost anything, even things outside of a God’s sphere. Actions which don’t fall under a God’s sphere are more expensive and if challenging a God within their own sphere, a God without it will always be at a disadvantage. Such as a God of Wind attempting to create a blaze to match that of a God of Fire.

1 Ren is enough to raise or raze a city such as Sodom. 10 Ren is enough to forge an artifact blade that knows no rival that was not made by the hands of the Gods. 20 Ren is enough to alter the very fabric of the universe. 100 Ren is to throttle the heavens and reshape creation in your image, if uncontested. In broad terminology, a one-time use of Ren for an effect is a miracle, while investing Ren into a permanent creation is an artifact. You can and are encouraged to get creative with its use. If you want to spend Ren on something and aren’t sure how much to invest to get your desired result, it costs nothing to ask and receive an estimated price total.

Ren is divided into a Ren pool and an Ren cap. The Ren pool is the amount of Ren a God currently has, and an Rencap is how much Ren a God can reliably store. If a God’s Ren income exceeds their cap, that God has a 1/2 chance to increase their Ren cap by 1 for each turn and for each point the Ren income exceeds their cap. In the beginning, each God has an Ren income of +2 per turn. This will be reduced to +1 after 1 turn, and will be reduced to +0 after 3 turns. Finding an alternative source of long-term power is of paramount importance but in the immediate term, other things may demand your focus.

You must track your ren when you spend it. I will ignore your actions if you do not track your Ren in your posts.

>>5685744

Ren is simultaneously the power of a God and their life (or death) force. Reducing yourself to 0 Ren is not directly fatal but it does leave you vulnerable. This vulnerability can be mitigated by the protections of other Gods, defensive artifacts, and hiding and hoping you get lucky. If two or more Gods come into conflict, the battle is resolved by an opposed roll of 1d10+X, X being the amount of Ren each God has spent. The number that a God’s roll exceeds their opponent’s is the amount of Ren the losing God has lost. This is not gained by the winning God, it is lost, and if it drops below 0 that God is weakened, either crippled or comatose, and can be killed without contest.

If a God wants to protect a crippled or comatose God, they may attempt to do so if they’re willing to deal with the potential consequences of challenging the God or Gods responsible. If the God responsible simply wants to escape with the corpse before they are caught if chased, it works as combat but a fatality cannot result directly and they receive a +4 to represent their headstart.

If a God consumes the corpse of a God, which can be fluffed in any way they like to, the God immediately receives a refill equal to one and a half of the slain’s Ren pool rounded down. In addition, they receive the option of partially absorbing the slain God’s spheres, with a selection of three closely-related spheres tailored to the consuming God and their interests. If none of the three are liked, the God can spend 2 Ren to choose their own and if it’s related to the sphere, or the sphere as is if desired, it will be theirs. If the God does not want a sphere, they can destroy it to receive +2 to their Ren cap and an immediate 4 Ren independent of their cap. This can exceed an Ren cap but while unspent, an Ren cap cannot increase from an Ren income. If a sphere is destroyed for this, it cannot be regained from that God in any way, it is lost to creation, though a similar sphere may arise.

Guidelines for playing:
—--------------------------------------------------------
Eras: Every few turns a new era will be introduced which will about new features and some minor rules changes.

Action in a turn: Each god may do one of 3 things within a turn including attacking, defending, fleeing, and creating.

Creation: Out of the chaos of primordial nothingness a god may harness the Ren they currently hold and use it to shape the universe. There primary form of creation is the forging of artifacts.

Artifact creation is the forging of divine weapons, realms, structures, or minions.

Divine Weapons
Divine Weapons are tools that manipulate the force of the universe Ren to aid a god. There are multiple types including offensive, defensive, mixed, and fleeing. They provide bonuses to the actions they were designed for.

Offensive Weapons: They give a +1 bonus to attacks for every 2 ren. If a god attacks that turns an offensive weapon also provides a +2 bonus for every god fighting you past base 1 per tier, which applies to a single roll per round. This applies to the roll for the god you're attacking and to 1 random roll if you are defending (player must roll 1d3 to decide which roll it applies to.)
Ex) Hades and Cronus attack Poseidon. Zeus and Hera join to defend Poseidon. Hades has a [2R] flamesword divine weapon. Flamesword provides +1 bonus to all his rolls and an additional +1 bonus to his roll against Poseidon.

Defensive Weapons: Provides a +1 bonus to defending for every 2 ren spent. Defensive Weapons also provide half their bonus rounded down to any structure being sieged such as a divine fortress.

Mixed Weapons: The most common type of weapon and the most efficient for Ren usage. Provide a +1 bonus to attack and defense for every 3 Ren Spent.

Fleeing Weapons: Provide a +1 bonus for every 1 Ren spent to flee. If successfully fled, a fleeing tool will also allow you to have another god or divine minion flee per 4 ren spent. The god you're fleeing with must be in combat with you.

Both gods will end up in same area if fled together. If a god chooses to roll to flee with you this counts against you flee limit and thus you may not roll to flee again this turn.
Ex) Posedion rolls to flee from Hades, who is attacking him and Zeus, with his [4R] fleeing weapon. Posedion succeds and flees, he chooses to take Zeus with him. Both gods cannot be attacked this turn and will end up in Olympus next turn-

Divine Fortresses: These are the structures gods create to reside in. They provide a +1 defensive bonus for every 4 Ren spent on them and may contain mortals.


Abandoned Divine objects: If no god currently holds them realms may be can be claimed but cost an attack action. Divine Servants become NPCs if abandoned unless claimed by an ally. Gods may take weapons from their slain foes if they choose.

Finally, you may spend Ren to do things outside of these main types, but they are up to QM interpretation.

>>5685746
Combat:
Despite their inherent deposition to create a god may participate in the antithesis to the order that brought them about and fight in glorious combat. In order to fight another god, a god must specify who they're attacking. Then the attacking god will roll 1d6 + any of their combat bonuses. In order to defend the opposing god will do the same. Any god may flee from combat after a round of combat or when attacked if they haven't fled that turn.

Gods may attack a specific divine being or creation 2 times per turn, and may continue attacking an unlimited amount of times. A god may defend an unlimited amount of times and flee once per turn. Once successfully fled, a god may not be attacked by any specific god. A god may only flee if they're being attacked or have killed a god in the last round.

An attacked God must decide to flee or fight at the beginning of combat when they roll.

Additional Combat Rules:
Attacking gods will be treated as an attacker if attacked by a different god. Attacking gods get priority to continue attacking into the next round of combat.

Ex) If Poseidon attacks Hades and Zeus attacks Poseidon, then Poseidon rules to attack both god Hades and Zeus with any attack bonuses they have while god Hades and Zeus roll to defend with any defense bonuses they may have. If Poseidon fails to kill both gods he may choose to continue attacking and still be treated as the attacker into the next round.

If a singular god is fighting multiple gods they will get -1 on their dice for every additional god they're fighting from the base 1. If groups of gods are fighting the attacking gods will get the opportunity to choose their opponents, if they fail to do so the gods will be randomly paired off to fight. Gods paired off to fight still follow multiple god rules for their individual fights.
Ex) Hades and Cronus attack Poseidon, Zeus, and Hera. The gods are randomly paired while Cronus fights Hera. Hades fights Poseidon and Zeus, so he gets a -1 to his rolls due to being outnumbered.

With a mighty flex, Ahmbalcre's tail whipped forward into infinity, far beyond the measure of mortal sight. T'would only be appropriate for one such as He to keep a presence wherever he could afford, He thought, probing around this newfound cosmos with newfound senses. Five lights such as Him, He could find. Some dimmer, though no lesser for it, He felt.
"BRETHREN," He announced.
"THIS UNIVERSE, THOUGH BEAUTIFUL, IS NOT PERFECTION. I SENSE WITHIN MYSELF A HIGHER PURPOSE, TO SEEK A HIGHER STATE OF BEING, AND TO BE IT'S SEED HERE AFTER FERTILE CREATION HAS GONE BARREN AND LISTLESS. IF I AM ALLOWED ONLY THE SUSTENANCE AND THE SPACE TO GROW THROUGH THE EONS, I SHALL MAKE FOR YOU ALSO A HIGHER PURPOSE AND A HIGHER STATE OF BEING, IN THE FORM OF A NEW UNIVERSE, THE NEXT UNIVERSE. GROW FAT HERE, JUST AS I SHALL GROW, AND WE MAY CREATE WONDERS, WEIRDER AND GRANDER STILL".

You can’t currently make them in this era, but they basically serve as a servant god that can’t create anything and don’t gain ren from the spark. They can participate in combat and do everything else a god can do, but their stats are weaker unless you invest a decent amount of ren into them.

The god of madness lunges at the god of pillars. His body dissolves into the very essence of madness, a chaotic swarm of arcane symbols, spells, and eldritch knowledge.

As he moves closer to the wizard a swath of magma blasts towards his face forcing him to block it with one of his pillars, but another strike of arch of lighting catches him off guard and forces him to the floor. The god of madness cackles, a sick grin forming upon his mouth as he looks upon the defeated god ... only as he moves closer he sees something disturbing. Their is distinction to it's face. It's a mockery of life a mere facade. But before he can realize the gravity of this ploy a 100ft burning pillar is launched toward his skull crushing it instantly and leaving him collapsed in space.

Kaguya looks upon the other gods with disgust. Their petty squabbles and attempt at power are of no concern to her. Instead, she begins crafting a realm to call her own. She forgre her Ren into earthen material and transforms it into white rock. She creates a number of craters upon its surface as well. When she’s done she calls it a moon and sets it to orbit the spark which it does slowly

Sword and Magic clash as the dark wizard and the pillar man clash within the cosmos. When all is done only one if left standing. Yet instead of consuming the God for himself Letshol instead does something peculiar he takes the corpse to the spark and sacrifices it it’s entirety. At first nothing happen, just a few flames emitted from the spark. A god was born as the universe reacted to the death of the wizard, but at this point the birth of gods was mundane. Letshol stared at the spark peering into it, before something ….. Happend. As he peered within the spark all at once he felt Watched. For a second he noticed something impossible, the spark, it, Smiled at him. A maddeningly joyful Smile. As soon as it appeared it disappeared, but what replaced it was of even greater concern.
DARKNESS, COMPLETE AND UTTER DARKNESS. Cast over the universe as the spark emitted no light, ……. nothing emitted light. This lasted for a whole minute casting chaos upon the cosmos before the spark returned. But something was different instead of the usual white glow it was replaced by a crimson red. While before it seemed to be dimming like a dying flame, now within energy seemed to swirl with life. As the gods looked upon it they could see faint symbols and writing appearing for a second before disappearing like a mirage. The same symbols the wizard had used. He was dead his soul long gone, but what remained?

Turn 2 Rules Introduced:

Ren Production Update: Ren Production decreased to 1 per turn for all gods.

Divine Fortresses Update: Now provide a +1 defensive bonus for every 3 Ren spent on them and may contain mortals.

Divine Servants: These are the celestial beings that a god molds into shape with their Ren. They may do everything a god can except create due to their lack of domains. Their Ren is equivalent to the amount spent on them. They have their own own Ren pool equivalent to 1 per every 2 Ren spent on them. They roll 1dx when in combat. X being the amount of ren spent on them.

Mortals: Mortals are lesser beings created from ren. While mortals lack a domain and thus are unable to exert much influence over creation, they do seem to have some fragment of a divine spark. Their numbers naturally go up per turn. Mortals grow at a rate of 2 per turn if there’s enough space for it to do so in its realm. Space is calculated by doubling the total amount of Ren spent on a realm.
Ex) [4] divine realm would allow for [8R] of mortals to live in it

Mortals like everything with Ren may be consumed for to gain ½ of their total Ren.

A mortal race’s Ren will grow by 2 if there’s enough space for it to do so in its realm. Space is calculated by doubling the total amount of Ren spent on a realm.
Ex) [4] divine realm would allow for [8R] of mortals to live in it

Domain Crystallization: Domain Crystallization is the processing of further connecting your refining your ren to attune to the flow of the universe unique abilities can be accessed by spending ren on it. Increasing the power of the domain will get increasingly expensive as you progress, but also increasingly powerful.

First Stage: Connection: Costs 2 Ren - The god's domain begins to let him more easily connect to the fundamental aspect of the universe. Gives a unique ability based upon the domain somewhat random choices given based upon the fate chart

A figure emerges from the abyss. Cloaked in robes it steps out of nothingness. Its existence seems unnatural as if it was not supposed to exist. It floats towards Letshol and begins to speak “Father Mother, Mother Father. You created me, so don’t flee.

From within the safety of the Singularity, Mull-Tivahk surveys events, for where it was difficult for light to escape the Event Horizon, it was easy for it to enter and be drawn in.

He is deeply concerned by how the Spark, the very Universe itself, seems to want towards Darkness and Madness.

The Moon goddess shifts the rock and earth around her to form her very own mortal species. The first of their kind the moon rabbits worship their goddess with ferocity and tend to her every need. Though when not working they love to throw pranks on one another. As the moon goddess watches her new creations she notices something strange. While hardworking a number of them have taken it to the extreme to please her. One rabbit pranked a priestess’s gathering by yelling during a service. As the spark glowed red, the priestess looked at him and spoke “You dare mock the goddess, our creator? You will be begging for her forgiveness in this life and the next.” A number of rabbits seized the heretic bringing him to a crude wooden alter and cutting out his innards. His blood splattered everywhere, that same crimson that glowed throughout the universe. Life left his eyes as his wailing came to a stop, lifeless and dead.

Having relaxed from a previous predicament, Letshol flew through the abyss in search of inspiration for what life he may fashion unto its plate.

Finding the star and hold far too bright and pointless for his whim, they travelled before Kaguya's moon, its ethos being far more suitable for palate.

Civility must be maintained and as such.

"Goddess of Moon, may I and my child take shelter upon your domain?"

i guess ill sacrifice 2 Ren to create a new speices

As the god of trials focused, he found himself in another void. This void however was not a place but rather a representation of his mind. Before him he witnessed a great inferno ignite. He heard it howl for someone to burn. He turned and saw chains of fire form. They waved and darted in the air looking for someone to bind. "No. We exist to test and challenge. Any I allow to live have the right to challenge me again. To rob them of that right would be antithesis to our nature. Begone." The inferno jumped upon the chains and in an instant, they were gone. Finally, he witnessed a forge melting coins down and reforging them into great weapons and machinery. At first, he dismissed it, but he hesitated to think as it didn't disgust him like the chains did. His purpose was ultimately to challenge the world so that it would grow. The forge may not challenge but it certainly helped growth. He thought for what felt like eternity but could have been an instant before making his decision. He faced the inferno and spoke "You need a reason to burn just a fire needs fuel. However, we do not burn other because they are wrong. We burn them because they are still weak enough to burn." When he finished speaking the fires of judgment were extinguished. Once again, he looked at the forge and they spoke his most sacred command. "Survive." said the god for when faced with any challenge that should be the first priority. "Grow." replied the forge for that was why all things are challenged. "Overcome." they said together for in the end that purpose of growth is to overcome all challenges.

The god of luck decides to create a race of mortals to live within his beautiful realm of gold and silver, and so he creates the race known as "The Servants". A race of beings resembling Victorian era butlers and maids to prune the garden of gems and clean the golden castle rooms. (And of course supply him with a new source of Ren through these acts)

"Behold brothers!" Mull-Tivahk says, as he scoops up in his hand some space dust

"The essence of new creations. Dark as it is now, it needs but to coalesce with gravity for the first stars to ignite. And then from their ignition new chemicals and materials will spew deeper into the void, to create the first planets. All it needs is gravity and a bit of time. We're-" Mull-Tivahk observes that gravity does not yet exist. Thus the Galaxy does not rotate.

"Ah damn, well, maybe with a bit more time. We're still on schedule!" The God looks at his watch, but frowns. "Huh, my watch is broken.

Oh right. Time doesn't exist yet"

Mull-Tivahk sits and ponders grimly, he had a lot of work cut out for him. . .

>Background: A consequence of the madness and darkness permeating the new universe, Miseros is the sentient manifestation of the degradation of things as well as the process by which they become a vicious mockery of themselves in the form of a purple distorted mass.

Returning to awareness Ejektilus looked around and decided it was time he made his own people like the other gods were. But first they need a land to dwell in. As he let his power flow the land formed in two extremes. From one end he stole all the heat creating a great ice sheet. He mixed the heat with his flames making the other side of his realm almost entirely from fire. The ice melted when it came into contact with the fire creating a great sea between the lands of frost and flame. The steam created from the meeting of the lands quickly became a storm that would ensure the sea was never calm. As the clouds rolled into the frost lands a great blizzard was created. However, the rain in the flame lands would evaporate long before it could reach the ground.
>Spend 3 ren to create divine fortress Trial Grounds.

The god reached within himself and summoned the last remaining essence of the mad god. The small amount he had within him when he formed seemed almost useless however thanks to the influence of the Spark he knew he could use it for more. As he put his ren into it he allowed the shadows to drip from him and fall into the sea with the rain. At first the formless shadows panicked as they were tossed around by the storm. some took aquatic shapes and dove into the calm depths. Some were swept onto the land of frost where they took forms more suitable for land. The ones being swept towards the land of flame were most afraid for not even their bodies could directly withstand the fire. Just before they could be burned some took forms with wings to take advantage of the flame lands being the only land lacking great precipitation and soared above the fire.

With the merest twitch of the pale worm's tail, the three young Consorts dissipated like smoke, vanishing completely from his domain. Elsewhere, in the gardens of the Palace of Glory, three new alien creatures stood marveling at the light and life they beheld there.

While something very tempting may be done in the short term, it means the long term abandonment of the future cosmos. Still, surprised that the ebb has receded this quickly, Letshol begins securing its future energies, breaking down his light pillar into pieces.

From the last of the spark's gift, they turned the Pillar Plate into a set of multiple plates, a tower, and set it into orbiting Kaguya's moon.

The grand technocrat is quiet, the fuel he harvests from the spark lesser and lesser, perhaps soon to cease entirely.

What is given is returns, more dreams and soft imaginings of dragonfly aircraft and industrious little bugs wielding steel and light flow from Somas and influence the spark once more as the god observes his beetle droids politely from a distance.

"It's become clear to me that I cannot do this alone, and the assistance of some mortal followers would be most ideal.

However, because I consider it anathema for me to create life ex-nihilo (too much anyway) I shall create a loophole by ensuring these beings are as impartial, logical, and dedicated to a universe of order as myself.

These faceless beings in black will one day help ensure that atoms spin, planets orbit, gravity clumps things together, and all the minutia of a soon to be physically stable universe, all by being minimally seen or heard from what will be true mortal life.

They shall be my Au- oh. Well, to avoid copyright infringment, ahem, 'They shall be my Bureaucrats of Reality.'

Uprooting itself from the metaphysical surface of the nascent universe Miseros, The Corruptor, awoke to consciousness. It bobbed this way and that, shifting, observing its surroundings, tasting it.

It then froze in place and turned inwards, focusing on itself. It was an agent of corruption yes, of change, however the universe was already shaping up to be quite the elegant hell, with lesser beings consistently plagued by insanity and the worst atrocities currently possible in this system. What was Corruption in a world where insanity,debasement and degradation were the norm and not the anomaly?

This required contemplation.

If any were looking, they would be seeing the purple mass composing Miseros suddenly straighten and compact itself into a smooth sphere, before it began to emit ear raking cracking noises as it begins to crystallize itself.

Klenk forges a large planet covered in rocks for his home. The Terrarian is extremely mountainous, so only the strongest of creatures may survive there. Giant goats called Groeans roam the mountains and a small amount of grassland. He then crafts his very first mortal species, a number of nomadic people known as the Combine. Each is constantly at war with the other over ancient grudges that they refuse to give up due to their stubborn nature.

Ahmbalcre begins to see the endless possibilities that his domain brings. Every living creature has the potential to become something great, from the smallest bug to the mighest of gods. Everything can grow and change, whether for good or evil; that is the nature of life. As he takes in this concept, the very ren within his domain begins to shift and mold to his thought, as if he were finally uncovering the truth of its nature.

Choose 1 of 3 abilities.

>Crimson Zeal: Choose one species you control. They must attack another species, as they are filled with an obnoxious desire for wealth and prestige that such a conquest could bring. If they win this conflict, they double their growth that turn instead of it being stopped during their crusade, but if they lose the conflict, they lose an additional 2 ren.

>Worm’s Enlightment: A species is blessed with your god’s knowledge, bringing them closer to understanding the universe. As they do so, they absorb your nation’s domain, allowing their people to make great progress. Choose a species and roll 1d3; they gain that in growth that turn but lose this extra growth if engaged in a crusade.

>Pale Vulture: You stoke the flames of conflict, allowing you to profit from its potential being achieved. Roll 1d4 on a 4 to gain all ren lost during God’s fighting this turn.

The One Law uses what Ren has left to shape his domain into something new. His domain, which is particularly well suited to change, begins to swirl with energy as he manipulates its form. As he concludes, he begins to feel a deeper connection to the force of change itself. He understands that all things will have to transform at some point.

Choose 1 of 3 abilities.

>War by Nature: Choose one species whose culture develops a warlike tedency. Gain +2 to all conflicts inflicted by this species.

>Servan’t Sacrifice: Turn 1 divine servant into a sentient shield. On a fatal attack, they will take the ren damage instead. The servant will stop doing this at -1 ren.

>Diplomatic Manuvers: Choose any species waging a crusade; if rolled before the conflict is concluded, the war is ended as a white peace agreement is signed. The losing species only takes half the damage. Those species may not fight each other for 1d2 turns.

Ejektilus created his very first realm, called the Trial Grounds. It is a harsh realm where all the extremes of nature coexist in a paradoxical ying and yang. The first species to populate are those created from the little remnant shadow he held. Formed from the very conception of darkness, these creatures can easily manipulate the shape of their bodies to adapt to the environment. They must adapt, and many die due to the harsh extremes of the world they were put in. A trial by ice, storm, and fire is certain for this new species, but through this harsh life they will come out stronger.

Letshol destroyed Letilig, otherwise known as the shining pillars, into base Ren. He then uses it to strengthen the pillar plate. Then, using his remaining Ren, he forges a race of shining spiders, each as large as a human. They survive as cannibals, eating each other due to the lack of other flora on the realm. The young often fall into webs cast between pillars, leaving them to a gruesome fate. He commands the dark one to aid the rabbits, which he obliges him to do. The Dark One teaches them a number of minor rituals that allow them to more easily manipulate the world around them using dark magic. Most of them attribute this magic to the goddess's power, and thus a class of dark priestesses is formed who study the rituals as a way to have their god’s power flow through them.

An ear-shattering explosion is heard through the universe the very atoms shaking as a primordial madness sweeps over the universe causing mass europhira. As every creature looks to what the cause of this is they see something breathtaking. The spark collapses and has collapsed in on itself, but in the next moment, it shatters and turns into something different entirely. A gigantic planet stands where it once did its surface covered in all manner of flora and environments. As the gods attempt to get closer to this new world they are stopped by a force each step they take closer to her atmosphere feels infidelity more exhausting her very nature repelling them from stepping upon her surface.
She has been born the lone mother and the creator of all life, Rheas. Her calls are felt by every single mortal pulling on their very souls as feel an intrinsic need to join her.
As some gods attempt to examine what lies upon her surface what they find is impossible yet it’s there. Species dating their histories thousands of years back dot the surface. Each just entering a stage of civilization. The most powerful of all is the Thorkai a race of strong grey-skinned Brutes riding strange lizard-like beasts. Their society revolves around extorting a blood tribute from other nations and sacrificing them to what they call the All-Mother. The god also finds a number of strange shadow monsters on the surface which while extremely uncommon wreak havoc when encountered by the mortals on the planet. Equally interesting is the existence of large insects that are able to grow to great sizes due to the excess of oxygen within the environment. A number of ruins also dot the planet with crumbling pillars known as dungeons by the mortals on the planet. These dungeons host strange artifacts technologically advanced artifacts which can only be described as magic by the mortals who venture within them.
Strangely the mortals within this planet seem to already worship some of the existing pantheon.

Turn 4 Rules

The Mortal Plane:
The mortal plane is a unique realm that was formed when the divine spark collapsed within itself. The Mortal Realm has 20R base Ren minimum + ren contributed, but if ren contributed is higher it will instead be ren contributed times 2. The Mortal Plane Repels pure ren and thus neither gods nor divine minions may step within it.

Mortals within the Mortal Plane: Mortals may be placed or created on the Mortal Plane. Mortals on the mortal plane cannot have Ren directly added to them unless to gain minor god status which the limit is 1 ren to do so. Only mortals on the Mortal Plane may Worship Gods.

Worship: While weak individually the combined belief of mortals over a large scale seems to have a similar effect as the spark of creation allowing for Ren to be harvested from them through worship. A mortal race can worship two gods at a time, one major and one minor, with the total amount of Ren worth of mortals a god has worshipping them determining how much essence can be derived from them. For every [2R] worth of mortals worshipping them a major god provides +1 Ren a turn. Minor gods receive +1 Ren per turn for every [4R] worth of mortals worshiping.

Ex) Humans, [10R] Mortal race - [M] Zeus], [m] Athena

Miracles: A god can gain a mortal race’s faith that's not full on gods to their faith by spending Ren on a miracle that will go to the mortal race’s total Ren. Finally, if a mortal race’s major god is captured the attacking god will become their major god unless contested by another god.

Crusades: A god may direct a species he is a major god of to attack another species. Each Major god rolls 1d6. The difference is how many of the opposing species are slain. The winning god will gain half the slan species number rounded down for his attacking species. A species may only participate in combat once per turn. A species that has participated in combat will not grow that turn.

Crusade Circumstantial Bonuses: A god will receive a +1 bonus to protect against and wage crusades for every additional domain they have from base 1. The highest stage of domain crystallization a god has achieved will receive a +1 per stage to protect and wage crusades. For every [4R] a species receives a +1 in crusades.

Temples: Temples strengthen designated species in combat. This applies a +1 bonus to the species when in combat for every [4R] spent. A temple may designate 2 species to empower. Only one temple may be built per [6R] of a divine fortress.

A god may choose to give up a major god position for a mortal race and become a minor god.

>>5689581
Universe Manipulation: This is the attempt to influence the very fabric of the universe. This type of creation is extremely powerful yet unstable. This power is what most would consider godly as it doesn't just relate to combat but the function of the universe itself. The cost and power of a successful manipulation depend on a number of factors. Manipulating a creation of your own domain is easier while manipulating things of domains you don't hold is harder. Applying an effect relevant to your domain is easier while applying an effect only tangibility related is harder and if it’s not related at all it's impossible. The more specific the area that manipulation is applied and the more Ren spent the more likely it is to occur. The more things are related to each other domain wise the more likely they are to occur. Finally adding limiting conditions to an effect make it more likely to occur.

Ex) Fire effect, fire area, a fire creature

Vs.

Water effect, earth area, all creatures

This can be broken down into 5 simple tenets of creation. The area affected the effect, the creatures affected, the conditions met, and the amount of Ren spent.

Easy Ex) Fire domain god makes his fire minions stronger in his fire stronghold

Near impossible Ex) Death domain god makes everything permanently on fire in the universe.

This type of creation is powerful yet extremely strenuous and thus to see any tangible effects at least 5 Ren is needed.

This type of creation is generally up to QM interpretation, but using the basic tenets to your advantage will create stronger effects. Creativity will be rewarded and is encouraged.

Miseros' contemplation was completed at the exact moment that the spark collapsed on itself. A quick cursory look at the situation told it that it would have to act quickly.

It considered the Blight, a terrible disease that would wreak havoc on lesser beings. While inhibiting the growth of mortals was certainly within its portfolio it had much grander plans than simply making them sick.

Next came something more interesting, a form of insanity that would empower its servants at the cost of complete recklessness. Regretfully, Miseros did not have servants yet, and had more pressing matters than creating one at this moment.

The last breakthrough was what it was looking for, a memetic ill that it could inject into another god to make them lack reason, useful for preying on other gods...or as a deterrent for any that would dare attack it. A brief look at the growing power of the Pillar God set Miseros decision in stone.

>Choose Divine Folly

Next, the Corruptor detached parts of its mass, before moulding them into perpetually spinning ring tori dotted with spikes. The tori would orbit around the gigantic purple mass and violently constrict against anything that would get too close to the god without invitation. Moreover, the constructs emit an ominous aura that causes severe headaches when close to them.

>Create Rings of Pain, a [2R] Defensive Weapon

That done, Miseros approached Rheas, and already could see an opportunity to spread its influence amongst the mortals. The shadow creatures proved a problem for some isolated communities, not to mention those godless raiders running around attacking everything they see. Gazing upon a recent assault of shadow creatures on a Brunite settlement, the God of Corruption cast one of its gifts to aid, a parasite(or perhaps symbiote?) that would bond only to extremely unstable individuals or abnormally stable ones and would grant preternatural might... in exchange for their sanctity of mind and body.

>Cast Miracle on Brunite for [1] to become their minor god

>>5689596

The pulsating mass hovered listlessly for a time. It gazed in the direction of the Grand Quasar, and decided that while it would certainly be amusing to mess with the gods of order and warp their creations, it would wait a little before undertaking such a grand endeavor. But then, it saw the purple moon, a beautiful thing, with an even more beautiful princess living more or less on her own. The vestiges of the mad wizard's knowledge told it that there was potential there. Of course the Pillar was there as well, but hopefully the tenets of hospitality would keep him from burning Miseros alive, and the Corruptor was in need of a place to stay.

It approached the moon, bobbing oddly in no particular direction emitted a distinctive hum in greeting, something that would attract attention and instantly become an ear worm, though nobody could put a finger on why. After that it communicated directly to the Princess' mind.

A purple ball stuffed into a metal safe, before the surroundings erupt into flames, incinerating everything but the safe. A white rabbit overcome with painful visions and voices threatening to overwhelm the senses until a bizarre sense of quiet and calmness overtakes it. Two animals cells undergoing cell fusion.

While languishing upon their rest consuming delicious well-done souls,
>Sacrifice [2R] of Shining Spiders into [1R].

Letshol is once-again utterly blindsided by cosmic developments, as the spark self-destructed. Dreams of killing their siblings and sacrificing it all to the spark over and over slowly faded away, before its mind reached back and did something about it.
>Sacrifice Letbur into [1R].

The set of Letbur is taken and merged into one gloriously radiant pillar, its fire god-burning. All of his self is imbued into it for one purpose.
>Spend up to [8R] to create a pyre that sacrifices what it damaged to the Mortal Plane, directly burn domains from godly corpses to Rheas, and try to reignite the spark.

In a moment of clarity throughout that, it sends the Dark One out to stand against that warping fog of blood magic.

Raising his weary head, Ahmbalcre witnessed the birth of a brand new world, beautiful in its immense potential. Inspired by the sight, Ahmbalcre was finally able to navigate the maze of possibilities that had been puzzling him so. Three paths lay before him.
The first and last were painted the color of violence and pain, which horrified him. And their benefits were situational; though tenuous, a peace had hung over the entire pantheon since the shocking infanticide by the god of the Pillar. A peace, Ahmbalcre hoped against odds, that would last. The middle path, however, appealed to him. It was a straight path, he thought. A sensible path.
And thus, a tool was made, for ends both selfish and selfless, to whisper secrets into the ears of mortals. Secrets from the Next World.

>Ahmbalcre chooses the ability Worm's Enlightenment: Choose a species and roll 1d3; they gain that in growth that turn but but lose this extra growth if engaged in a crusade.

A path navigated, Ahmbalcre turned his head toward the center of the celestial torrents of the Quasar, where his Consorts busied themselves with tending to the gardens and animals of the central atrium, or patrolling the immense corridors whose ends lay out of sight. Should his brother-in-purpose, the One Law, still wish to cast them out into the realm of mortals, then there was much preparing to be done.

>Ahmbalcre casts Worm's Enlightenment on the Consort mortal race, adding that much to their growth this turn

Oh yea I forgot to mention this

The spark lays dormant after transforming into the planet. You cannot directly turn it into the spark again since its total Ren is extremely high. You could however reignite what remains of the spark in its core allowing you to sacrifice things to it.

So I give you the option of summoning your metaphysical pillar of fire which you can use to sacrifice ren, gods, mortals, and minions to. As a response to the sacrifice Rheas will send gifts to you or produce mortals for you, these gifts will be of greater Ren value then what is sacrificed. Sacrificing something takes an attack action and can be interrupted.

Looking at Rhea Ejektilus tapped into the connection he had with his mortals allowing them to see every part of the land he saw. At first, the Shadowforged were confused by the visions however after a meeting between the priest and the elders a conclusion was reached. This land that was a paradise, at least compared to the realm they inhabited now, was being offered as a reward. But like all rewards it must be earned. Ejektilus watched as his mortals organized for a pilgrimage through every land. They would inhabit the mortal realm eventually but not until they've conquered this one.

Miseros paused whatever communication it was attempting on the goddess when it realised how unstable and susceptible she was. It followed her gaze and considered...an opportunity.

Hoping its hunch would be right, it stoked those sentiments of hatred, along with quite the visceral vision of the spark exploding to punctuate the point. Wordless voices egging on whatever dark desires she might have.

The God of Corruption then repurposed the Rings of Pain until something new, something meant to kill. The tori opened themselves, becoming as snakes undulating, with a prominent spike at what would be the head.

To note you cannot create things while engaged in round of combat. So if you want to make those creations you will have to do so after the fight is over.

Also mortals on the mortal realm cannot be sacrificed for Ren. You need to able to reach something to sacrifice it and no gods can step foot on the mortal plane.

Miseros the corrupter used his whispers to corrupt the moon goddess in his plan for her betrayal. She let him into the moon while she engaged the dark one leaving him free to fight the pillar. The dark miasma got the jump on Letshol spreading poison throughout his body, but Letshol resisted and being well experienced in combat managed to fight back. With his hidden pillars he found the gods true body through the purple cloud and struck a fatal blow leaving the cloud still and lifeless.
Kaguya silver arrows strike true against the dark one tearing his body apart with their moon light.

With the purple moon accessed, so as is free to populate the world below.

First he relocates his first mortals, the Beetle-droids, to the world below, transplanting clans and orders of them into various ancient ruins as mighty sentries.

Next, he shapes a new insectoid race, the scintillan, centipedal insects of a vast scale, with potential to grow to rule vast tracts of land simply by sheer size, growing wiser as they age.

After that, a perhaps final race rises, a hivelike species of ambulant biomechanical bees ruled by great queens known as the Court, that name being applicable also to the species at large.

>The god called Tholias is the incarnation of the will to strive for mastery that lies buried in every soul. He believes that if one cannot master themselves, they are unworthy to master others, and that the only way to achieve true mastery is continual struggle. His labour in this is constant and unrelenting. He has no lofty ambitions or sweeping designs, he grasps for power because contentment is anathema to him. If he seized dominion, he would sit on a throne atop the world’s peak and urge multitudes of ambitious, skilled warriors to climb and throw him off of it to claim suzerainty for themselves.

Miseros's domain hardens and with his greater connection, he can now impair the senses of gods. He creates the rings of pain a fleshy mass coated with spikes that constrict those who attempt to attack him. Finally, he sees the Brunites upon Rheas and takes pity on them. The Throkai and Shadow creatures both prove to be threats to the Brunites and thus in order to help them survive he grants them his “gift.” He creates a number of parasitic creatures directly linked to him and places them around the settlement. They bond with the most mentally stable and unstable within the Brunite giving them immense strength but corrupting their bodies with sickly boils and plaguing them with dark visions of him. These individuals take on roles as divine warriors and lead their clans to great success pushing back the shadow beasts and holding their own against the Throkai. They preach the grace of the corruptor to their followers leading to his worship.
