Notable happenings of the 9th age:
A bunch of new gods have awoken.
Morroth created all kinds of monsters and beasts.
Velocioraptors are still the apex predators of Earth, but Swamp Dragons are a close contender.
The FrostFire magocracy of Xioni is still the largest and most powerful empire of mortals, with the multi-planetary empire of the Saecora coming behind in a close second place.
Orks were made of moss, plants and bones by Morroth, and later infused with echoes of his essence when the god was slain and his corpse taken away from Domina.
Tutarr finished the Godhall, a fortress the size of a planet where Gods can council and resolve disputes without taking to arms. Many gods proceeded to construct thrones for themselves in the council chamber.
Domina got a new godly grandchild, Zanathros, that spread motes of light across the cosmos to make "stars" to brighten up the dark void.
Voluris and Regolith increased the numbers of clerics and binders amongst the humans, and amongst the clerics there is the occasional Oracular Paladin, thanks to Zanathros.
Nafemis the goddess of the wind and chilled breeze created blizzard flowers on Xionis.
Frakt gave Regolith's unborn child a really, really buff sheep.
Tutarr.... made himself a companion from mud and stone and gave life to it... a giant amongst giants.
the Orks' fate is written in the stars and they are bound to it, giving their hordes a huge weakness; they are also forbidden from using Barathran's portals.
Trasa made his (nat 100) master dyer into a (98) goddess as his companion, Arethe the goddess of colour.
Zanathros incorporates the Great Wheel into his "Divinity Engine" project, a contraption whose purpose will be to serve as the circle of rebirth as well as expand the cosmos on its own. So far, it's formed of the Wheel, Frostfire, Swampwoods of fear(courtesy of Gol Durak), sections forged by Tutarr, Dreamscapes of Nekomious, and Lightning Pillars.

on mortal magic:
The Mortal Magics mimic the most commonly used forms of The Word, and are divided into four categories.
Most common are Solar Clerics, soul-burning masters of enchanting, destruction and power. Prayer and meditation serve to heal their fractured souls, and their tendency to insane light-shows of pyromania on the battlefield makes them a worthy ally and fearsome foe. A cleric is a magical Big Shot, no one can throw around more power than a Cleric fresh from a Soul-Respite.
For every 3 Clerics, there is a FrostFire Mage. These casters lack variety, outside of mostly destructive spells, and can't pour out as much power as a Cleric, but their Magic is far more stable and less self-destructive. By drawing in energy around them, they mimic the flames of Kreos and Polus, blue fire that burns hot by stealing the heat from around it. FrostFire magic, due to it's nature, is very hard to counter-spell or resist
Binding Summoners are born with a gift to catch glimpses of the movements of Gods, and to hear snatches of The Words they speak. With this talent, they mimic the Gods' power, able to create structures and beasts straight from imagination. They are rare, and love solitude. Clerics and Summoners despise each other, for each is heretical to the other
A new order of Caster has appeared, the Gazing Oracles. Scattered across the cosmos, these beings are similar to the Summoners, in that they are born with a gift. Theirs allows them to draw insight from the movement of the stars, and catch glimpses of the future ahead. Depending on which star they feel closest too, an Oracle can skew the future they see, guiding their Destiny to serve themselves
Mortals are born attuned to none, one, or more Disciplines.
All Magics can be tainted by contact with Shadow Shards. Tainted Casters are exceedingly dangerous, and should enough mortal magicians be corrupted, it is possible The Lurker could once again be brought to this realm, freed from his prison.

Something from the beyond has latched onto the Divinity Engine and just sits there. A purple mass of tree-like fibers has entwined itself around a section of it. It radiates divine power, but unlike the essence of any god inside creation, but it does not seem to be anathema to the Divinity Engine..Select a tripcode to become a God, and roll 1d100 to speak the WORD and make things happen. Anonymous players form a Choir to praise or scorn the works of these Gods as they see fit.

And so a new era emerged. The godness of colours, adourning a white toga with golden details on it's sleeves and skirt moved into the new age
The old age was filled with war and blood among mortal's and god's. And the godness being one that reined in what through art could awake felling's in mortal's as well as god's was sad.
This new era shall be one of hapyness for finally Regolith's wedding was at close. So as a gift to existence and tto he very god's themself's she created the first Rainbows by speaking the word.

Shit Arethe is pretty consistently the most powerful god, at least by the rolls
>>45260498
As far as I know, those little numbers we roll for "power levels" don't actually do anything, except serve as rough guidelines for who should 'respect' who? Like, I don't see Caliban bad-mouthing Domina, cuz she's way more powerful than him, but if it came to a fight, they are evenly matched...
Anyway, I have the highest number, at 137, so fear me, fools!
>>45260653
Caliban and Domina used to be equal, but she gained power after devouring Herocles and the god of travels and adventure, so now that's.. eh.
And besides, >>45260498, Heroicus proved himself a lot more times through the 2nd and 3rd ages. And I'm totally not biased in that statement.

> Rules addendum discussion
From last thread.
>Every god must list their primary domains(max 3) and gets to assign 30 points between them to be used as a bonus for rolls related to these domains. They additionally get 5 points per subdomain of these primaries to assign to their subdomains as they see fit.
So, new god takes the domain of Animals, at 25. Then puts one point in the subdomains felines, canines, ursids, rodents, marsupials, etc. and jams the remaining 96 points into dragons. Five points in the Destruction domain, and five into the killing domain. 1d100+25+5+5+96 to kill the Star Dragon in one blow, same again to create a Death Dragon to murder all the mortal souls and gods.
Obviously, we'd ignore such blatant power-wank, but better to cut it off before it happens, no? I'm thinking something like
>For every 5 points in a domain, you may either choose to [add a subdomain (which starts at a +5 bonus)] or [add another +5 to an existing subdomain] of that domain.
Yes, it's chunky wording, rough draft.

Manoloth followed the creation of art with great interest.
After all, it is wise to stray away from wars. All
that death only means that all these poor souls waste away in pointless conflicts with no discernible goal.
It approached this domain that created art, and sang it's silent song.
Through it, it invited people to create, to sing, to open their minds and to allow him to enter theirs.

Out of all of them, 82 mortals rose up. Their music,

Manoloth created.
And of them, 51 mortals were invited to Manoloth's court.
Their minds, and talents left their bodies, leaving behind
cold, empty husks of meat and bone, mumbling and crippled.
And Manoloth grew. He now was just a little bigger than an Asteroid,
just another cosmic construct drifting in space.
Its tentacles gave way, to show the meaty flesh underneath. And from the forests
that covered its body, creatures, not unlike the humans he just feasted on appeared.

You know all this, brother.
As Nekomious traverses his land of dreams, flitting through the minds of mortals as a transient voyeur, he notices something amiss. A dream that's been going for days without change, and the dreamscape should be ever-changing.
Within this dream, it is raining. Not the cleansing, lighter rains of the steppes. Nor the refreshing, desperate rains of the deserts. Nor even the deep, sustaining rains of the forests.
This is the violent and tumultuous maelstrom of the sea, on a dark and stormy night. When the stars cannot be seen, direction is a guess, and hope is clutching a piece of wood with everything one has.
And it is within this storm that Nekomious finds the dreamer, upon a tiny island, terrified and weeping. A young woman in some priestly garb, hugging her knees.
So Nekomious appears before her, standing atop the waves as if they were but a thimble deep. She looks up, unsure if he is real or just another torment of her dream.
And Nekomious says unto her, "Hey man, you want some milk?" offering her his glass for a sip.
The girl looks at him incredulously, but takes the glass gingerly and tastes of it. The milk is the best tasting thing she's ever put into her mouth. And in her awe she forgets her fear.
She forgets the storm, and it settles. Beams of light pierce the cloud cover like gleaming blades. The tiny island grows as the water recedes, and fresh grass springs up as if chasing after the fleeing shore. Nekomious takes a seat next to her, enjoying the picturesque landscape and taking his glass of milk back. "Much better." he judges.
>>45264777
Without a word the young woman attaches herself to Nekomious, clutching him as if he were stability itself, and weeps softly. Without a word, he gently strokes her hair. Time passes, and yet does not.
"Why do you not awaken?" Nekomious asks the young woman, "Your dream is long over."
"I do not know." she replies, "I can hear the god I spent my days worshipping calling my name, yet I cannot find my way to her. I think I must have died, yet I remain dreaming. Will I dream forever? Never to find the heaven I'm called to?"
"No." says Nekomious gently, "No, I will take you to your heaven personally, and I will ensure that this cannot happen again."
>>45264811
Nekomious enters the wedding hall uninvited, holding a mortal soul gently cupped in one hand, and makes his way to the front of the room. A place lowered from the thrones, but elevated enough to make announcements and speeches to the assembled gods. Nekomious clears his throat and says to all his gathered peers:
"To the owner of a mortal cleric soul named Melony, you've left her outside your heaven. I repeat, to the owner of a cleric Melony's soul, she is outside of your heaven. Thank you."
This is why i have servants on the wheel gathering my worshipers, or is it just the divinity engine now? I noticed that it was a bit different from the last time I saw it, you know, during the time I hid it.
>>45259369
Once again, Gol Durak arose from the primordial swamps, aching to spread fear to bolster faith in him.
Why must you have petty arguments and fights like the mortals? I just wish for life to spread
>>45264837
Oh oh, was she forgotten?
Did some bad luck lead her astray?
Who has overlooked such a soul?
No matter! We will take her!
Yes, we will take her, and make her into some tiny crawling thing, with eyes that point every-which-way, so she will be always lost!
Or no, we make her something so small and plain, that everyone that sees her will ignore her, and put her from their minds at once!
Or, or, or...What?
Oh, fine, never mind, you're all thinking about her now, we don't want her anymore.
Corona joins Regolith at the foot of the two thrones. Regolith clasps her hands with his, with a warm smile on his face.
The two seem to forget that they have guests for a moment, but they quickly look out at the crowd.
Regolith addresses the group.
>>Thank you all for coming here for our wedding. We know that there are some grudges and feuds, but we are glad that everyone can put them aside for this celebration.

Regolith plucks a band of silver from the hand of a Radiant and slides it onto Corona's finger.
>>This shall symbolize our bond.
Corona responds in kind, placing a ring on Regolith's finger.
>>Dear Regolith, I swear to stay by you and stay faithful to you for eternity. May this ring sbolize my love.

After leaving Melony's soul in its rightful place, and participating in a brief toast, Nekomious took his leave of festivities.
Mortals dying within the dreamscape was an unfortunate situation he'd overlooked, and one that needed to be amended immediately. And with nearly all the gods paying more attention to each other than the cosmos, maybe he could get away with a little more than he might otherwise.
Nekomious drifted above his purple haze, watching its infinite depths slowly roil around as a part of the Divinity Engine. He envisioned then a new world orbiting about it. A small one, relatively, but a world nonetheless.
A world of shallow oceans filled with plenty of lazy fish. A world of forested lands, some temperate and some tropical, filled with small, flighty birds. A world dotted of a few steep and blustery mountains, snowcapped and filled with fat sheep. A world of warm and sunny planes, filled with giddy antilope.
And at this vision, the Word burst forth from Nekomious' lips and he said "Let it be."
and the mists of the dreamscape surged. And from them burst forth a new world.

Nekomious looked upon the world, and saw that not all was how he had envisioned it.
The forests were darker, deeper, and more ominous. While the seas had some shallow shoals, the oceans went far deeper and ensconced strange creatures that looked more like the spawn of Manoloth than any fish. And in places, the space of the world itself was irregular, and one could walk from one point to another without knowing any of the places in between. The plains at least were sunny, and warm. But elsewhere it was as if cast in an eternal gloam. Never quite the pitch of night, but never truly knowing the light's full radiance.
Nekomious saw these imperfections of his work, took a long drink of his milk, and then said, "Eh, close enough. I'll call it...Cheshia."

It starts. First softly, like a small rumble or ripple throughout creation, and then the gods observe as the wheel begins spinning around creation, the spokes of light created by Regolith finally connecting with Helios and spinning in concert with the dwarf star, feeding essence into it to be radiated to the rest of the cosmos as the wheel keeps making it. With representations from all three major "lineages" of the world's pantheon, (Stellar, frost, planetary/arbitrary), but laced with an unknown essence as well, siphoned from Gæwër's infinite growth. The spokes funnel ever so little of the essence in a controlled manner, crowning Regolith's wedding with the assurance that this universe will never face the approach of the Monitors.

Yet Nekomious' work was not yet finished, for this was only the groundwork for his solution.
Next, Nekomious fashioned a new kind of mortal to inhabit the world he had made. Predatory, lithe, nimble, and dangerouslyadorable. And, as their new home of Cheshia was somewhat dream-twisted, so too would they become. Shifting at will from their mortal form into a fully bestial form.

But again, Nekomious' creation was not quite how he had envisioned it. Only every thousandth catgirl had the bestial form of an apex predator. The others were somehow...reduced.
So Nekomious made it so that when these new mortals died, their souls would become a part of the Dreamscape. There they would become Psychopomps of the Dream, to guide mortals out of the Dreamscape should they ever find themselves lost.
>>45267253
But the black furred catgirls became a breed apart. They found their lives made especially easy, and when they became a part of the Dreaming, they became Nightmares. Hunting and playing with mortals, frightening them into wakefulness rather than guiding them to it. After all, not all dreams are pleasant and enjoyable.
But from then on, Nekomious would walk Cheshia as often as he would the Dreamscape, and could often be found with a Catgirl napping in his lap as he idly stroked her hair.
>>45267537What are you talking about choir? There are 4-5 different planets to adventure on, with wildly different topographies, the cultures and kingdoms revere different major gods for different reasons, there's explanations for the different kinds of magic and what their difference is, (most of) the gods are petty and uncaring, with the few gods who actually care because they care being a scant handful.

It seems like the Manoloth's blindness has affected Gol Durak somewhat, mistaking the Regolith for the Caliban. This, Gol Durak apologizes.
On the other hand, it seems like the Cabalites have stirred some sort of witch-hunt. Or rather, assassin-hunt. Good, good! Fear spreads, and so does my power. Gol Durak instructs the best and 'pious' of the Cabalites to be more subtle, in the hopes of them reaching greater fear.
In the meantime, Gol Durak makes a creature to spread fear through other means. A microscopic one, which will hopefully mutate the host into horrific forms!

One day Nekomious broke from his wanderings on Cheshia to spend time with his Catgirl worshippers in his usual way. Catgirls, like their maker, are transient by nature, and prone to fits of wandering about for no particular reason. But they usually make their way back to somewhere comfy that they all share. A village of sorts, where they eat their fill of prey and lounge about, enjoying themselves until the unknown calls to them once more.
And as Nekomious settled in for just such a rest himself, he leaned his head back and spotted one of the Black Cats staring down at him from her lounging perch on a tree branch. She asked him, "You are the god Nekomious, are you not?"
"I am."

"Pick one." the Black Cat demanded, suddenly staring down at him, narrowing her eyes as if he were prey.
"Uh, Domina the Mother of Stars then. But well, y'know, that's just like, my opinion, man."
The black cat lapped a few more times at her paw before saying, "So if you can do anything, then you can definitely woo Domina, right?"

Something I forgot to do earlier, but in the previous thread a demigod of my lineage performed a pretty impressive feat in the triumph over a powerful divine monster. The god that created it decreed that an increase in faith resulted, but I decided to just keep it to the the demigod as a power boost.
So, rolling to see if the demigod went on to continue their lineage in favor of that of the original demigod of my lineage. If the roll is higher, then the more recent one will surpass the original line of descent. Crit fail the demigod either didn't have children or didn't pass on the divinity, high success leads to a possible creation of a school of magic.
>>45272591
Yeah, after that debacle with the Orks, I'm going to be a lot more cautious. I'll set up One portal for now and have it lead to my world. It's largely unsettled aside from a few saecora and human settlments on some islands. Hope the catgirls like the floating beach planet.
>>45272606
Well that is a higher roll than the initial lineage, so it looks like the bloodline of Hallia, the solar monk, overtakes that of the original demigod lineage.
The benefit is that because of the divine battle with the swamp dragon, Hallia's power increased which would carry on to her children and so on. Thus, the demigod lineage power increases from the original 67 to 81 now, the 14 point difference of her victory over the swamp dragon. The drawback though is that my own blessing upon the original demigod lineage was that their divinity would remain hidden even to other gods so they could live safely and undetected.
As per choir suggestion and the prophecy of Nekomious however, Hallia more or less threw that blessing under the bus in favor of using her divinity for all to see. Thus, with the increase in power, comes the loss of my blessing of concealment so that the demigods of my (and now more like Hallia's specifically) lineage have no concealment benefit and are as commonly noticed as any other demigod.
That said they are still not that common compared to other demigod lineages, having only risen to prominence recently and having only a single female source, but they are probably known to those who care.
>>45272756
So... They're Solar Exalted?
>>45272873
In some capacity I suppose so. Hallia herself was an anomaly of my lineage and only managed to triumph because she embraced and utilized her divinity. Rather than magic though she used it to empower herself to be able to defeat the swamp dragon. So instead of magically or spiritually imitating the gods like the schools of magic, instead she physically imitated the gods with her body. This might have become another path for mortals to pursue in terms of power/divinity but the roll >>45272606 wasn't high enough for the ability/art to have spread beyond just Hallia and her lineage.
All of this was of course, determined by dice rolls in the prior age. Weirdly enough it was also rolled well enough that she specifically had an abnormally long life so might still be alive in this age even, though I don't care to roll for that in favor of leaving it open to a choir member if they felt like playing it for fun.

It wondered what happened to the warm place with voices it was in previously, and why the new one is so dry- not that it really mattered, he still could float freely.

After a long time of drifting aimlessly and boredom, it has finally found something. A place somehow familiar to the one it appeared one, yet different; and out of it's infinite boredom, it decided to check it out- it can't be that bad anyway.
The place was strange, somehow twisted, but far less scary than the previous. Strange things lived here, all better than the boredom of cold space, so it decided not to run away from them. And then, it witnessed the most beautiful thing it has ever seen- a tall, bipedal figure, with strangely stimulating shapes, as well as ears and tail that it unconsciously identified as cute. That sight was enough to awaken something within the being: hunger, a new feeling, but one easy to understand. Listening to it, the being set its eyes on the prize: two undeniably bouncy objects located on the things front, that the being instantly recognized as a source of food, by some primal instincts.
However, it was noticed during its approached, and the beautiful thing proceeded to scream and run away from the being, the targets slowly yet bouncily disappearing in the distance. The being was not stupid, and recognized fear, so it quickly deduced that it was somehow scary.
After finding a body of water and seeing its reflection the thing barely stopped itself from freaking out. It decided to change itself, basing the new form on the beautiful thing it saw, yet keeping some parts of itself. After a long time, it was ready:nimble, with smooth fur, tail and ears; yet still keeping the characteristic proportions, the ability to levitate, and colour pink. Then, it decided it was ready, and went back to pursuing the bouncy food source.

The newly named Meow looks at the body below it, and feels sad, blaming itself for causing disfigurement of such a beautiful creature. As with itself, it decides to try setting things right, even though it's not confident it knows how to.

Gol Durak considers the worm to be a mild failure, but left it alone to multiply in the swamps of the world.

Gol Durak, aware of his creations that dwell in the machine, tries to channel some of the swamp wood parts into becoming a conduit for the frost-fire.

Very well then.
Here is my case, made to all Gods and Goddesses who would listen, from my seat of Ice and Snow, I make the following points.
For too long, we Gods, regardless of Pantheon, have suffered under the Tyranny of Entropy. Less and less free-flowing Divine Energy, in the form of dead Gods and other such packets, has abounded, much to chagrin of those such as Domina, who rely on it heavily. When can we next expect a new star? Though many of you may doubt me, I do enjoy the new stars as much as the next God, even if they are not as Frozen as my own.
So I was excited at the construction of this Divine Engine, as evidenced by my hand in it's construction! But when I saw it's effect on my stars, poisoning them, I was right to be furious! Why should my creations, my domain, be diminished so that others may grow? I have been complacent as others ignored the Realm of Frost, but I AM an Elder God, and I will not be mocked like this!
