Gods of Chaos: a Riot God Quest

Authored Act
[X] Go amongst the races and teach them how to construct their own mystical architecture (Lesser Act)

Amongst the mortal races of the world, many have encountered sites of magical importance. The world-song stones the most common, those places shaped to allow passage of messages between the seen and unseen, thinning the border in the process. These, and the scattered others, are the inspiration with which to teach the mortal races their own shapings that will channel magic and affect the unseen.

"Witness the pattern of the stone, through which the wind whistles, from here to the next world. Carve your own shapes, in trinkets and in temples, to send your own messages, your own magics through. Construct pillars which obscure the light of the moon until the right night, marking a transition that you can push yourself through, allowing travel along the liminal for those with the skill.

There are natural patterns amongst the world which have meaning to magic and the unseen, because people give them meaning. A spiral inward draws all to the center, while a spiral outward propogates and floods out into the world. Concentric circles imply tiers, a degree of seperation or improvement between each, as well as the warding that divides them. A stepped pyramid, for those who have heard tell of the god maker, shows movement upward, in skill and in society. Find these patterns, test them and carve them. There is no inherency to the person making them, only the shapes and materials themselves. Make them large, make them small. Go on and make your own monuments to the world, to the worlds beyond and to the beauty and magics around you."



Supported Acts
[X] Create the Fields of Floating Stones on the eastern coast of the Clouded Lands, a series of cliffs where large rocks ligther than air grow from the soil and can telekinetically be controled with lunar magic. (Lesser Act)
[X] Create the World-Fable Stones: At the peak of each World-Pillar rise up concentric circles of great stone monoliths, obsidian in colour and so smooth as to feel soft to the touch. Upon them, characters in silver flow into being, comprehensible to any reader. Upon the stones of the Southern World-Pillar are preserved each legend that has come into being, yet one could spend their lifetime upon the peak and never finish reading them all, as the distorted flow of time inscribes ever more legends as the world moves forward without them. And upon the Northern World-Pillar's apex, the stones instead have written upon them such legends as might be in the future, noting the names and origins of those upon whom the Law of Narrative Satisfaction weighs, yet none can ever predict when a prospective legend vanishes from the surface of the stones, the fable either made manifest or impossible. (Lesser Act)
[X] Birth of the Storm God Saar from waters of the Ocean Spirit.
[X] Landmark: The Unreal Lake (Lesser Act)
[X] Void Traversal Services (Lesser Act)
[X] Create the Second Planet (Cosmic Act)
[X] Inspire a few of the inhabitants of the Clouded Lands with ingenuity and skill. (Lesser Act)
[X] The Law of Artistry (Grand Act)
 
@CausalityCircle @Pandemonious Ivy You're both still voting for two Cosmic Acts and are only allowed to have one, you must have forgotten to change it the first time you saw.

CausalityCircle, you asked whether Second Planet would still pass if you unvoted it last time it came up, right now the answer is yes, so you don't have to worry about it.

Thanks, I completely forgot.

Need to do a repost for a new list anyway~
 
Alright, after the rise of Strohime, I think most of us agree that the world need to increase the size of the world. Doubling or tripling the size? What is your preference? Also, @Photomajig, would that kind of act be considered Grand or Cosmic?
 
One thing I would like to do next Epoch (or even now, while we're at it) is actually name the world. How does Aebrirea sound?

I like the name but I'm not sure I'd vote for it. I've mostly been hoping the natives would choose a name themselves. Even if the name is something like Earth/World/Land but in their own language.

The again, we could just specify that Aebrirea does mean something like, that in which case I'd probably be happy to vote for it.

Actually, @Photomajig will the world eventually be named by the natives if we don't take any active measures?

Sure! That was my intention anyways in the first place lol
[X] Name the Unnamed World Aebrirea

We only have an hour left and one vote to allow the second planet to pass. Alright, anyone who voted for the Forger and World Forge, hear me out on why one of you should change your vote to the second planet.

Having a second planet will have a whole new metaphorical sandbox in the playing grounds to play in. We can use it as a place where we can sent ascendant mortals or over divine beings to train and practice on their future roles as gods and rulers of pantheons, allowing them to gain experience before they try their best in the main world.

We can also make it a place that is different in the kind of life that exist there and have all new kinds of sentient races who can evolve in parallel to those of the first world. Maybe we can have a world in which the races are mostly underwater beings with very few continents, making it more of an opposite to the main world.

Eventually we could even create ways to pass through the worlds, making a quest to create a portal to the second world and survive there long enough to return, making traveling between the two worlds some sort of grand achievement.

While mine is awesome and I want it to pass, I agree that it will not come to pass this Epoch, and it is also pretty limited with the description I gave it, while we can do a lot more with a second planet.

This is just my two cents. So will one of you change your vote?

The second planet vote has enough votes to pass. The last vote is just listed separately since it doesn't have "(Cosmic Act)" at the end of it.
 
Why micromanage things where we've created primal forces that presumably have their own choices?

Things keep being added and embellished upon without care for the entities that have to deal with the consequences. I'm curious if anyone is playing "in character" or if most Makers are just playing with clay?
 
I'm not playing in character. I'll naturally be partial to the things I authored, and I do want anything I add to fit in with the greater narrative. But I'm not role playing as like the maker Oz the great and powerful
 
Anyone will willing to spare just one more vote for my act
I mean if you reply in the next 30 seconds maybe lol.

I count 11 votes for create a second planet, and 10 for Mantle of the Breaker. So we have two Cosmic Acts competing which do you all think will get the spot?

Tell me if i missed something but i combined the votes that where the same so This is what the tally should look like.
 
I'm still so surprised by how many people have been voting for my acts. I really appreciate it.

What do you mean? They both passed.

We already have the world pillars that distort time at their poles. Why not modify them to also distort space so that as you get closer to them they get farther and farther away, making the planet technically unlimited in size? With certain magics being capable of negating this effect, so people can still actually get to them with a little extra effort. I think that would be cool.

I might start roleplaying once I've gotten a couple more acts authored to decide for certain what kind of maker I'm playing as, but right now I'm just trying to be creative and help tie up loose ends.
 
Havent fully ironed out the details but my Maker is some kind of Artifact creating Maker who likes to make intresting things and then see what people do with them, mostly making things that he hopes will have a big impact among the legends of mortals.

I've currently come up with ideas for the Trident, the Book and the Void Scythe.
 
I don't have anything definitive at the moment but I've been thinking of being a Maker of Challenges/Trials. The kind that makes things filled with equal amounts of danger as opportunity. Like the slimes and the Gate of Trials (although the slimes aren't really dangerous right now and probably won't be for a while).
