Okay, so I've picked up permission to continue this wonderful ole darling. I would be a fool not to make a few changes to the rules or put my own spin on the style, but I will be staying true to Academia Nut's setting. I'm not 100% sure I should use the Original Prefix, because it's an Academia Nut original, but... eh, it's technically accurate.
Don't expect Academia Nut-level post speed. Ideally I'll update once every two days, but assuming I don't regularly get more than 20 voters, I'll probably stick to bi-weekly so everybody gets a chance to see each update and vote.
On Co-op Play: If somebody actually wants to QM a paired quest, please note this before the first vote is locked by PMing me and posting in thread that you will be QMing a partner quest. I will provide the link in the OP to the partner quest(s), and we can hash out how we'll do this in PMs. Questers can cross-vote in and discuss freely the events of any hypothetical partner threads if they wish; it is called co-operative for a reason.

In other words, only pick this if you've already decided amongst yourselves who the other GM is going to be, because hell to the naw am I GMing the same quest from two perspectives at the same time.

This version supports playing as several new types of spirit.
This version includes a new mechanic called Inherent Traits. Inherent Traits never count against a god's maximum trait limit, even when they are improved. Inherent Traits are especially powerful in determining the form and mindset of a god compared to normal traits, and can be changed or removed only in specific, unusual circumstances, or through a very great deal of effort.

The tutorial now properly supports all types of spirits, and no longer suggests you go on a hunt with your avatar-less Elemental Spirit to gain legend.
Regardless of selecting Yes or No, you will now always receive Patch Tips when you encounter changes from the previous version 1.0.4.

Your divine realm is a place of endless sea and timeless night. Bergs of ice float between the swells of water, and as time bears onward, strips of land appear between the cresting waves. Your Frauma live here, laying out lazily upon the ice and basking in the moonlight.
The border between thought and form is weak in your realm. The unformed and ethereal may act as though they are completely corporeal, and the corporeal can physically strike the formless mystical.
Your realm is abnormally strong with magic and mysticism. The stars sparkle brightly even against the moon, and the swells and moon reveal strange omens.
The moon drips with divine Ambrosia in your most plentiful seasons, a fine coat of the liquid making it's shine especially pleasing.
Within the core of your realm is a strange pool within the sea, a point of opaque, strange fluid casting a rippling reflection. This pool is linked to the Teeth of the Sea, at the point where your ambrosia condenses.

Accumulated Attribute Discounts: 2/1 Faith (Focus Lockout)
Faith: 0
The locals are subjugated to you and pray to you, but you gain no special power from their mutterings as they pray for safety upon the water.
Fear: 10
You are a mighty, terrible being of both beauty and cruelty, a Goddess and mistress of all the spirits of the pantheon.
Avatar: 10 (8)
You are a goddess, and your form reflects this elegance and power. Hair as black as the night sky, pockmarked with specks of white like the stars and eyes that glow solidly the color of silver and black like a shifting moon, you are the picture of celestial radiance and mystery. From your eyes and mouth pours an infinite stream of clear, perfect water, and cloaked about your body are skins of supple ebony, rimmed with white. Standing tall at nearly 12 feet, you are imposing and intimidating, even to most spirits, and your earlier girlish charm has changed, a more mature, calculating gaze replacing your earlier glint of mere mischief.
Influence: 8
Your influence extends three miles in all directions from your holy site and shrines. Your hilltop shrine's influence extends twice that distance. Your influence covers many, many miles and you can feel the fears of all within it.
Shrine: 7
You possess a Holy Place and a number of lesser shrines, displaying tokens and pictograms of your past.
Maximum Shrines: (5/8, equal to Influence)

Courtesy of @Sivantic, this is a very accurate map of the known area circa turn 7.

Saiga's hunting place.
Birdy's places.
Little hunting place.
Saiga's place.
Bad Old Lady's places.
Stuff-Maker's places.
My places!
Big Ice place.
Stupid Guy place.
Courtesy of @Sivantic, this is a very accurate map of the half of the island you're on and have seen circa turn 25.
None Currently
Traits
Typically individual components (though there are some trees and evolutions) that raise attributes or skills by one or more with other unique effects. A god is limited based on his Shrine attribute and Tier in maximum number of traits, and any god that does exceed this value becomes [Not yet encountered].
[Mechanic not yet encountered].
Inherent Traits never count against a god's maximum trait limit, even when evolved. Inherent Traits are especially powerful in determining the form and mindset of a god compared to normal traits, and can be changed only under rare and special circumstances.
Attributes
A value scaling from 0-10, attributes cost their current natural level plus one per point (Shrine 1 costs 0+1=1 Legend; Avatar 4 costs 3+1=4, Shrine 6 (7) costs 5+1=6).
Faith: Depth of reverence under the spirit's influence, affects prevalence in culture, intricacy of rites, and increases passive DE per turn. +Passive DE, +Shrine Extension Unlocks
Fear: Depth of terror in those under the the spirit's influence, affects prevalence in culture and increases the multiplier of DE earned while the spirit is doing frightful things. +Vehemence DE, +Shrine Extension Unlocks
Faith and Fear are mutually exclusive, and choosing to increase one bars a spirit from raising the other, though they will always receive the unspecialized advantage from the path not taken.
Avatar: Solidity and connection of the god's form to the earthly realm. Affects the size of the avatar somewhat, and makes it harder to defeat and disperse. +Avatar Max Sustenance, +Wounds, +Wound Threshold, +Skill Capacity, Increases Size, -Increases Avatar Sustenance Decay
Influence: Breadth of devotion or terror of the spirit, the strength and distance to which their legend feeds back into the collective minds of men, even if they have no name for the power they unconsciously sense is out there. A higher influence allows the spirit to partake in expeditions from shrines more cheaply, and, in conjunction with Faith and population of influenced areas, peripherally increases DE/turn. +Influence Zone, +Maximum Population Modifier (slight), +Population Modifier Resistance, -Increased Divine Act Cost
Shrine/Holy Place/Confluence: Greater shrines support more impressive rituals and display more of the god's history and power, raising maximum traits. Gives a multiplier defensively against all foreign Influences, increasing with closeness to the shrines themselves. Larger shrines require more time and effort to be raised. Holy Places have a higher Shrine Defense bonus, and Confluences provide special bonuses. +Ambrosia Capacity, +Trait Capacity, +Maximum Shrine Tier, +Shrine Defense Bonus
Skills
Skills are values from 0 to 10, costing 2 legend to learn and 1 to increase. A god is limited in the number of skills it can develop equal to God Tier + Avatar Attribute, so skills should be chosen carefully. There are several classes of skills, and having a good mixture of these skills is an important part of creating a balanced and competent spirit or god.
Crafting Skills: Crafting skills focus on a particular material the god develops a talent for shaping. Stone, Glass, Iron, Wood, Weaving, all are open to choose from. Unlocks and improves divine item creation, with certain properties unique to certain materials.
Known Crafting Skills:
Artistic Skills: Art skills, while having some overlap with craft and performance, are intended to paint pictures or evoke emotion, whereas crafting is practical to an extent, and performance is cultural and focused on interaction rather than chronicling or displaying beauty. Art produced by a god has unique properties depending on the category of creation. Carved? Etched? Molded?
Known Artistic Skills:
Performance Skills/Awe: Performance and Awe skills are interpersonal in nature and dictate meetings and relationships with other gods. When two gods meet non-violently to decide dominance in a negotiation, they use one performance skill the other god does not possess and awe together to display their standing. If both gods possess no unique performance skills, only the god with the highest performance skill in common can add his performance to awe. If that is also a tie, then only awe is used.
Hostile gods also use awe to determine comparative majesty before battle, but performance is not added except in specific cases. Total dominance within a pantheon's hierarchy is more nuanced than an individual encounter and can shift with time. In some cases, Animal Handling is used in place of performance against bestial gods.
Known Performance Skills: Awe, Perform (Trickery)
Toil Skills: Physical skills are represented among the warrior class, the hunters, and the gatherers and herders. Skill with weapons, survivalism, the handling of beasts, as well as farming fall under Toils.
Known Toil Skills: Fishing, Survival, Navigation
Lordship Skills: Lordship skills are tied to the noble class, or in small enough groups, the elders. Medicine, Writing, Leadership, Diplomatic, and Mystical skills fall under this umbrella.
Known Lordship Skills: Astrology, Trade

Traits are now limited in number (mostly to prevent mindless trait grinding). You can only have a number of traits based on the Shrine attribute of your spirit (the reasoning for this is that your spirit's Shrine attribute dictates how extensive your shrine is in detailing your spirit's actions and deeds; a small shrine simply cannot fit as many relics of successes or painted pottery showing your spirit's traits). There are means of exceeding this limit, but doing so comes with a set of problems not everyone will find particularly palatable. You will know when you've reached your limit, and what will happen should you try to exceed it, but in keeping with AN's veiling of mechanics, you only get more exact details when you first encounter something (or are about to first encounter something).

I wanna make a demi-human race. So to that end I'm choosing Animal.

-[x] Solitary

I'm going for the Cold Dark because that will give us more worship due to the harsh climate, and when we start creating demi-humans it will be more advantageous.

Interesting, also would some traits be mutually exclusive or for that matter the number of a type of trait be determined by inherent trait. for example a elemental spirit with the elemental affinity inherent trait would have no limits on what element traits they have beyond their overall max. but an animal spirit may be limited to two elemental types or five elemental traits.

I think I'm going to try my hand at actually planning something for once.
[X] Setup New Game
-[X] Mediterranean
-[X] Plains
-[X] Coast
I intend to go for a sort of... Well, Mediterranean start in the hopes of eventual Romanlike/European style development in later eras. I'm not certain that Plains is a better choice than hills in this instance, though.
-[X] Awoken Hero
Sticking with what we've done here-though Loci might be interesting as well.
--[X] Subtype: Lawgiver
But changing it up a bit! We'll likely develop in this direction regardless, so having it as a focus might unlock something interesting.
[X] Yes
Eh, why not? I don't remember the last tutorial, after all, and I'm hoping to actually participate in this quest.

There are no conditional limits to traits, allowing you to specialize or generalize as you wish. Taking on too many traits, however, runs certain risks regardless of what you are innately tied to. There are ways of picking up extra Inherent Traits, which never count towards your maximum limit, but they're few and far between.
Curiosity is fine. Consider that you're not picking 'the general terrain for hundreds of miles', but rather the particular area your tribe/victims have settled personally, and how they make their living. Islands and coasts tend to be fishers and nomadic herders rather than farmers or gatherers, while floodplains are extremely conducive to most everything at once, but also have demands of self-defense against greedy neighbors. You could be within a few days walk of enormous mountains, or rolling hills could literally be beyond the treeline. You could be a day's travel from a massive desert plain or steppeland. Like the real world, you don't have to go far for the environment to change dramatically.

Hrm, still trying to think about what to pick. I sorta lost track with the original Amber Age somewhere a tenth of the way into it, or so, so I'm not sure what has been done and what hasn't in terms of interesting new characters or something. I know we had a warrior thing going, right? In the previous version?

We had a warrior and a bit of everything, and we were also absolutely nuts. Do my vote, because Inuit owl-men are awesome.

We started as an Awoken warrior and thanks to a vendetta, omake train and some other factors turned into a trait machine.

Hrm, maybe. Could also go with a crafter, maybe? Or...the Spring sounds kinda neat, too.
Or fertility? Not sure.

Or Inuit owl-men. Imagine how useful being able to fly and being able to live without heavy clothes is in the arctic.

We were, but then the desire for overprep and a sort of memetic joke turned him into more of a Yahweh lite than a warrior god.
I will confirm that Yahweh lite is still a viable direction to take your god in, but it does have certain inherent weaknesses now that will (hopefully) turn some of the more conservative and cautious away from it.

I am so happy you're doing this.
Can there be a 'magician' awoken hero subtype? If not, which one is closest to that?

I like the idea of Awoken Hero and setting ourselves up as head of a pantheon, with trait limits it would be best to have other spirits join us so we all can cover different areas. also want to play with developing our civilization more

I rather do something different like a wolf/dog that acts as protector/friend to humanity in general.

The Lawgiver is the closest natural fit. You could create a custom spirit that would be more closely tied to the magical skills and traits than that, but I'd be the one figuring the Inherent Trait and starting 3 attribute points for it. A purely arcane spirit or spirit of the stars would probably be influence only, which is a decidedly difficult start.

I think magic has to be discovered as a god, so we don't have access to it at the start, being an awoken human.
They could probably all spec into magic though, though different paths. Warrior might get into battle magic like morale, or elemental attacks like fire. lawgiver might get into healing or boosts to aptitude. Animal tamer might boost their animals to make them stronger or smarter, fire tamer might... tame fire.
Then once they have a foot in the door, they can of course look into other kinds of magic. It's all about what direction you want to take to start.

Let's see. What would a fertility god/goddess/thing be? Or would it be custom?
Maybe Fertility plus jungles=Fertile diseases to eventually to kill our enemies?
Edit: Edited for spelling. God, I hate making a stupid mistake like that.
