Rip voting for the pic.

For once, we are in agreeance.
I for one thinks that this gives us more versatility, and I dislike the idea of being bound in a single form. It's, in a word, boorish.

Also, some initial thoughts on dealing with the Devourer:
- Protect our dead harder- it's getting stronger from this, and we need to prevent it.
- Bless the grieving harder - if we get a domain of Death, we can potentially protect ourselves (and our dead) from this thing better.
- Involve the Sky Child - this thing can fly, so it's better to leave it no area where it's uncontested. Also, 2v1.
- Involve our Herald - sure, he got a poisoned wound, but we can heal those. Also, sad to say, better him than us.
- Buff our Herald? Get another one? - Seriously, having him stronger would go a long way towards defeating the Devourer.
- Store power before the fight? - assuming the sea life can travel with us, this would grant us a portable power boost. A risk of the Devourer gobbling them up, though.

True, my thought process is that a flesh and blood form is really limiting, I think. Having an ocean phenomenon to represent us feels like it doesn't take away from the unknowable quality that we have right now too much.
You can fight a human or an animal, or bargain with them. They're familiar, comfortable, and also a little predictable. How do you do the same with the Sea? The only reason I'm not going all in on 'formless' is because by having a form we give our people something specific to associate with us in general. Whirlpools are fairly rare, but not to the point of never being spotted, and could be said to be an 'avatar' of sorts.
Carp are our divine animal, maybe even a holy animal for our religion, but not something that really represents us in our entirety... if that philosophical hoopla makes sense.

I just think being the Goddess of the Sea would be cool, its not like our human worshippers won't craft us humanized aspects in their art anyways, as they tend to do with most gods, even if its an animal man or fishman.
We are not flesh and blood even if in a humanized form, in the pic i gave were a human form but made of pure water.

Just get the healing domain and use the power of life to counter the death.

That's ultimately a result of your Nature and what actions you take.
Given the strong focus on shepherding and appealing to the mortals, your behavior and thought processes inevitably became very mortal.
Or--hear me out--or...get Life and Land?
Counter balance while counter balance?
Life and Death, Land and Sea,
A match made with chinese heaven and earth. Which I remind you, Sky/heaven is our ally.
And besides, Life and Land go hand-in-hand. The Sea and Death can go hand-in-hand?
Perfect balance confirmed???

[X] Yes. Claim a form for yourself and show it to the people.
-[X] One of the People, of indeterminable gender, with hair like kelp and eyes like pearls, with skin of an ocean blue hue, possessing a stern, proud, but kindly presentation.

I mean a physical form, of a creature you can really wrap your head around, y'know? Whirlpools are a natural wonder, mysterious, and utterly immaterial in the sense that the only way to interact with them is to enter their pull. You can avoid them, they aren't aggressive or very mobile, but you can't fight them. They're only dangerous to the foolish, arrogant, or unobservant.
The transformation part is supposed to be symbolic of our new Healing domain, in that we protect the sea and our people from the darkness of the world and turn it into life.

We didn't unlock land just now, we did with healing, its right there and were very focused on it.
Huh, i was right woot!~ about being humanlike i mean
.Come on guys Goddess of Water, Goddess of Water
I know, I know. I didn't say we already unlocked it, but I'm jsut mentioning it. Since nobody seems to want to do land for the obvious expansion and population growth, as well as farming I'm just going to have to do it the old-fashioned way, and fight viciously for a Land Domain.

We dumped two actions into it that ain't very focused compared to our other efforts which I'm now pretty confident were stymied by the fact that those domains were claimed by other gods.

you do realize that with our new settlement our people are starting to spread throughout the rivers, right? For this era of technological development that's about as close as you'll get for land based expansions with massive population growth.
Edit: Basically every early agricultural civilization got its start in river valleys and floodplains after all.

...Why are you quoting a section about us claiming a domain which does not seem to have a patron god in response to my statement that I'm now confident in the belief that attempting to gain a claimed domain is harder than gaining an unclaimed one.
This is further proof to support my hypothesis, to be frank not evidence against it.
Is this what they call 'voting politics' ? I may be swayed to this....Vote for Water goddess and i'll go try hard for land
I'm not saying that we have to have a massive population rise or anything, but the fact is we don't put much focus on land living. Houses, infrastructure, livestock, exploring the land itself, all things that most of the voters seem to shy away from in light of more sea-faring things. We know it's possible to live on the land (how else would the Forest People do so), so I don't believe that attributing it to technological development would apply. Not to mention, hello, magic powers pew pew?
I agree, it might be easier to just take the Death domain from the Devourer than it would be to develop our own at this point, if we even still could. For all I know there could be a one god per domain limit, but there could just as easily not be. (Though I'm not sure how well that holds up to the knowledge that we lost most of our control over the winds to the Sky Child)
