I feel like your God at the end of this quest is just going to be trying to hype up the sun *so hard*.
EDIT: Also decided to move all my votes here to one place. Now I type this I realise I have no idea *why* I'm doing that, but I'm here now, so fuck it.
EDIT 2: Put my stuff into the format @Shard suggested.

If the Custodians pass, they will be a background force, dutifully being cosmic janitors until you pass. I think they are an interesting addition for the setting that will exist at the completion of this Quest - inhuman divine servants seeking to uphold the will of the Elder Gods in a time when They themselves have long since departed Creation. Sounds like a great force to deal with as either an antagonist (rogue Custodians! Custodians who think you are in the path of the orderly running of the cosmos!) or as a benevolent primordial force.
They will never be doing your work for you during this Quest, however. That remains your responsibility.
Things will develop on their own, but you are never going to automate the process of Creation. It needs to take place as haphazardly and chaotically as it will! I don't want to interfere in this process any more than I do, but if the Custodians create things, it'll necessarily be me the QM being the one who does the creating. That is not ideal - my job should be to develop what you give me, not replace you.
The Cultivar suggestion might or might not have a similar issue? If their job is just to help living things grow and spread existing lifeforms onto new lands as they are created, that is fine. If they are expected to create new lifeforms altogether - I won't ban that, but it will be like with the Custodians: slow evolution, don't expect constant events by them during play.
Well-written, feels like a proper creation myth, very evocative - have a +1 Vote from a Mark of Artistry.
So I was bored and started thinking about what the Watcher and Historian look like. So I started drawing and this was the finished product. Enjoy.
Hey, it's me again, so while I was drawing The Watcher and The Historian I also drew this but stopped halfway, Ik`Shar because while rereading I realized that he did not have legs and I was worrying over nothing so I drew a ball and put some eyes in it. And the World Sea because while working on it I realized that we still had not given it a solid form or a name (which should be Pent) and so I just drew an outline.
These are amazing and I hope you keep working on them!
Indeed - one Act per round. We don't want any one godling dominating the creation process. Worry not, there is plenty of time left for Creation.

[X] The Hot Lands. (Grand Act)
In the Southwest ocean, a tectonic plate is tipped upward, raising a great landmass above the ocean. This continent is a place of stone and energy; mountains and volcanoes reach toward the sky, while hot springs and geysers pepper the rocky landscape. Minerals and metals of a thousand types are abundant; the lowlands begin building soil from weathered stone, and the uplands see snow falling on the high mountain peaks.
[X] Raise up the City of the First Children by the Island. (Grand Act)
[X] Create the K'orlannsch, sizable and intelligent air-breathing worms that subsist on sunlight alone. (Grand Act)
[X] let there be myriad fishes in the sea and beautiful coral reef for them to dwell in (lesser act)
[X] Create the Skylands (Grand Act):
[X] Create pathways through which the worlds can be connected forevermore (Cosmic Act)
[X] Create Leviathans (Grand Act)
[X] Create a moon as a font of magic and the bridge between the Real and the Unreal (Cosmic Act)

[X] Create the Abraxas, the divinely Inspired, primordial in nature, offspring and agents of the Architect's thought and mind. (Grand Act)
61. And lo, after the waters were blessed with eternal life and the universe created, did the Scrivener desire companionship.
62. For He had grown lonely, with only his equals to speak with, and sought solace in something new.
63. Thus did the Scrivener, Divine Architect and Lord of the Immutable Creation, declared "Let There Be Life!"
64. Lo, and so His thought give birth to the mind of the first of the Abraxas, who was clothed in naught but stardust.
65. And the First Spoke, and asked for companionship as well. And the Lord granted his wish, and fourteen more came from His Thought.
66. And then the Fifteen Spoke, and wished for brothers and sisters to converse with. And the Architect Thought, and more came forth.
67. So it was that four-hundred and forty more brothers and sisters were birthed, and the Void between Stars and Worlds, Real and Unreal, was filled with life.
68. Lo, and so the Architect was in his Paradise, and all was right in the World.
- Eternities, 2.61-2.68
The Abraxas, this world's equivalent to the Angels of the Bible and the Ainur of Tolkien, shall be brought into Creation. The Children and Messengers of Scrivener, the Architect of the Stars, they are immortal and primordial in nature, and shall live with their Creator in the silent Void between Worlds. Occasionally a young Abraxas may visit the primordial world, and their figures will inspire many myths and tales indeed…

So, question - what do the Abraxes do, and how can the rest of us use them?
(Clarifying tone in advance because text is shit for that - I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm just trying to get an idea how they fit in to the setting more broadly and how they can prompt interesting developments in future epochs.)

Divine messengers basically. The lower 440 are meant to be representatives of the Makers as a whole on Earth or the Unnamed World or whatever. The first Fifteen are the only real ones that are comparable to the Ainur or the Angel of Death.

Okay. So the rest of us can use them too, then? Because that's the main thing I'm hesitant about. @Vanestus ' island was quite small, so it being sectioned off for them to experiment on was fine. Having 440 dudes who belong to you alone makes me a tiny bit uncomfortable, if only because they're pretty cool toys in the sandbox and honestly I want to play with them too.

What are you talking about? GigaChad would be a brilliant addition to this world! How could his creation possibly be a bad thing?

It doesn't fit in the setting, it would ruin the fantasy theme of the entire thing with dead memes, and…
Let's just… not.
Also we're just three votes away from having a free divine messengers service, go vote for the Abraxas

The Arising Star will always appear, first in the Immaterial than in the Material realms during the night to signal to whoever may observe it that a grand story has begun, it shines with many different colors and shines in the sky of both realms for one night and one day.
Is this fine? Got inspired by yours so decided to try and create a counterpart for it?
