[x] Let there be shadow (Primordial)
They who tread in the light, imagine naught but a world of light. They who tread in the dark see nothing but the dark that abounds. Let there be shadow as a web through it all, a sight onto itself and a character of the world, that may be seen without the blinding blasts of heavenly objects. Those who see through shadow's sight will always reject the milk of light. ("shadow" or umbra as a non-light medium of the world that beings can evolve to see through, separate from the idea of 'shadows' cast by light)
[X] Create the People of Constellations (Godly)
Dark stars and light stars alike are linked together and given life. For now, they have no comprehensible shape, but some day someone will look into the night sky and recognize them as animals or quaint figures, and so they will become one.
There are Dark constellations and Light constellations, differing in what stars they are made of. Most of the time, they stand still. But every now and then, links between stars will shine brightly with darkness or light, creating an avatar for the People of Constellations. When it happens, they move and talk like any other being. This avatar consists of a strange element known as aether and can change in size, being as small as a human or as large as they normally are.
Links can be ripped from constellations just like stars. Some particularly vicious constellations can do this and then add to themselves. The reason behind that could be the fact that the more stars a constellation has, the more powerful it is.

You can write two acts and then vote for a unlimited number of other acts
Im just gonna have the ocean be fresh water cause why not, and there is pretty much nothing on fire because the Flames of Creation are more of a plane than a actual thing, so for now its just a world with a fresh water ocean and nothing else.

[X] Minor God Act: Carve the Chasm of the Endless Abyss, look upon the world and with our will our gaze shall bore a hole into the crust. From the floor of the ocean it shall be carved, a great chasm that delves deep beneath until it reaches the physically lowest point of this world.
[X] Minor God Act: Raise the Mountain Abyss, around the Chasm call forth our will and raise a mountain. One that reaches from the floor of the ocean to the upper limits of the sky and upon that peak will be an opening for those brave enough to delve down into that Abyss.
Yes I am basically going to try to make the Abyss from Made in Abyss. It is going to be my little primordial zone where I shall create a highly deadly micro-climate that has riches to draw in those willing to reach for them.

Future note that this is the absolute limit of what a minor god act can do

Noted, no issue there though since I am going to be focusing on the region after this anyway.
I have no idea about the setting of Made in Abyss, but i will point out that everything is just water for now, and an insland floating in the void, so i doubt anything would try to climb that mountain, i believe it will be kinda hard for an underwater race to climb a mountain, and if some race is there in the island then they just won't need to climb it to reach the top.
[X] Minor God Act: Velid.
When existence appeared, then non-existence also appeared. Well-known truths are life and death, but few people pay attention to the process that arose simultaneously with this. Withering. Degradation. And at the same time, the renewal is very paradoxical.
Velid is the embodiment of this paradox. He is not evil, he is not good. His inhuman likeness of the mind simply rejoices in any fall: spiritual, physical, magical. He is considered evil for this. However, in order to fall, you need to gain a conditional "height". Therefore, under his supervision, Empires will arise, humanistic religions will be formed, great heroes and villains will fight praising his next incarnation, always new, always different from the other. Only in order to fall into a great turmoil, perhaps abruptly, perhaps, like a tuberculosis patient, slowly and painfully.
And this cycle lasts forever, and the eternally terrible smile of falling is replaced by an encouraging smile of hope.
Collection of the first gods. The truth about Velid "Lod of degradation", "Great Tempter", "Patron of the great", "He-who-saw-all-the-sunsets".

I am aware of that, I am going to be focusing on making my Abyss for a good while. I am going to need to reinforce the sides for instance to prevent people from simply tunneling in and I need to set up the ecosystem within the abyss layers.
Also the challenge isn't going to be reaching the top, hell I am going to construct means to make reaching the top and staying there easier (for instance around the Abyss mouth at the top I plan on making the area ideal for living all year round). The danger is going to be descending into the Abyss and returning.
[X] Minor God Act: Sareh
When the flame appeared, not just a flame appeared, along with the flame came heat, vibrations, sparks, color. The Concept, the Essence has come. Each action carries a hidden concept, a web of phenomena spread across the canvas. Storm-Lightning-Wind-Rage. Just a primitive chain of concepts.
And this chain has its master, its slave and its friend. Sareh collects-learns-discovers new concepts. Why new? The flame did not know how to dance, before the appearance of the first dance, it was not immediately associated with it. Cold is not always
was synonymous with peace. The concept is created by objective reality, but the mind copes much better with this.
Sareh comes into natural ecstasy when people create a new concept, connect the concepts with each other. It doesn't matter which. Slavery-Duty-Abomination-Submission-Suffering for the negt is equivalent to Nobility-Justice-Knighthood-Honor. His only passion is spinning the web of associations, pushing them together, juxtaposing them, influencing them in a vain attempt to deduce something new.
For this, he strikes the forests with lightning, setting fires, for this he gives hope to the poor, endows birds with magic and makes mental cripples out of children, killing some emotion in the womb, be it fear, sympathy, or maybe even pain?
From him you can get the greatest reward and the greatest curse - complete power over the concept. Not over the chain, far from it. But those who have received the power of Death are capable, with sufficient willpower and intelligence (after all, this works for them), to kill a demigod with a single word. The world is not destroyed just because it is a hundred times easier to be able to carry this concept, or any other. The bearer of the strongest concept of the Emptiness was simply tired of Being and instantly disappeared from the world. The one who was capable of erasing divine magic died a day after gaining such power.
This does not mean that his gifts are useless. Oh no. If you have sufficient will and reason, and also power over a not too destructive Concept (although they all destroy the human mind), then your life will be very interesting. After all, Sareh will always put on some kind of experiment to put on you. Or maybe you are lucky and he will forget about you, this also happened.

I believe that that god is a bit too powerful to be a minor god, and since there are no mortals he is gonna be on a dry spell.
There was a small problem .... The text is too large, it does not fit)))
In fact, everything will depend on how many people vote for him.
But if it's only 1 vote, it's still okay. It's just that his gifts will be once a generation. Maybe once every hundred years. Maybe once every two hundred.
@AltF4152
P.s. do you want to exchange votes? I give power to Ember, and you are Sareh

Actually, we can votes for as many creations from others as we want, i mostly pointed that out because i am not sure how much power would Sareh need.

Sareh does seem a little to powerful for a minor god so unless someone else makes him a major god he will probably only appear every other age with powerful demigod? (if that is what you want to happen)
[X]Ember(Minor God)
I forgot to mention this in the main post but this age is the age of creation so all votes creating landmasses and plants like grasses, trees, crops, etc receive a -1 vote modifier allowing one person to do any of those
@LinkOnScepter
Did you want your islands in the void or on the first planet?

@bioticgrunt
(Speaks in a Jewish accent) Would you like to make a good deal?
I give strength to your god of life, and you to my Sareh))
Perhaps the next time you vote, you will need to immediately select the "Theme" of the update. So that people do not land on a bare piece of rock in the middle of the ocean, it is banal because there are no trees in this world yet))).
Yeah I kinda got too excited about posting this and forgot that I planned to do a theme per age so im going to go back and edit the main post along with my other post explain the theme

[X] Let there be light (Primordial)
Arising from the darkness of the nothingness, let there be founts upon which light shall gush. Hot searing spheres, founts expelling wondrous light unto the cosmos. These shall be the stars and the suns that bring endless light to an otherwise dark universe, basking all that is with their glorious glow.
[X] Create the Dragon Primogenitor (Godly)
From the dust and ether, let an egg made of stone arise, from which the progenitor of all dragons shall arise. Whispers of power and life shall be given to the ears of the yet unborn being that resides within the egg. Let those whispers instill life unto the stone, transforming lifeless rock into flesh and shell.

Sure, just give me a moment
okay
[X] From light comes life (Godly)
In the wake of the glorious light, a new being was shaped from the Flame. Born from an emerald spark, was a titanic being of great power. Among its sibling, it was the first to be given a definite form by its makers. A gentle being by nature, the Verdant Cultivator will shape life wherever it treads.
