Gods of Chaos: a Riot God Quest

Reader mode
[] Send a lesser Abraxas to teach the magic of Refutation to an orphan raised in the White University of Wisdom (Lesser Act)

Reposting it just in case some people want to create the first great scholar, master of logic and arguments! :D
 
Now looking more closely at what was writen about my dragon in the 9 epoch make me quite worry that op ( @Photomajig ) miss a lot of the extra detail that was writen like their crystal heart, the ability to adapt and self actualize and their long period of hatching and raising young , ect.

Hopefully all of that is not lost and he was just foucusing on other act instead.
 
Alright, we have a day left for people who are interested in doing so to shift votes around, and there are good opportunities to do so:
The Grand Act of the shifting Lands has 18 votes, Gnolls have 17 and Hikanophs have 14 while they all only need 8 to pass, and the cosmic act of Gods, Myths and Faith has 18 while needing 10.
Meanwhile, the Grand Act of Diabolism has 5, Fleshwarpers have 7 and Necromancy has 3 while needing 7 or 8 depending on Age bonuses, and the cosmic act modifying the mirror springs has 3 votes while needing 10.
If you're voting for something from the first list but think something from the second sounds interesting, consider changing to one of the votes below.
[] Diabolism (Grand Act)
[] Create the Fleshwarpers (Grand act)
[] Accumulated Vigor persists in bodies after death, and can be manipulated by various magical disciplines. (Grand Act)
[] The Mirror Springs Finaali Vaihe (Cosmic-Act)

[] Send a lesser Abraxas to teach the magic of Refutation to an orphan raised in the White University of Wisdom (Lesser Act)
Is 16/17 so not passing for now, I have a backup demi-act in case I don't get enough votes but it would probably work better as an act for the next epoch.
 
As I already said, maybe create some terrestrial animals on Second planet? For now the only prey animal on land is krokerikians.
Also, we are missing opportunity to create something like Walpurgis Night or Samhain, time of year when spirits can more easily come into Seen. Evil spirits in general. Epoch of Horror, after all.

(oh, and vote for fleshwarpers. Law of Metamorphosis can make big mean cat, Fleshwarpers can make big mean cat with three heads and flame breath)

Hmm I thought it would only take a lesser act since The Might had a built in feature to leave it's wielder, just go into it and make it think Nehu's at peace so it would leave her. But if say so I'll change it, makes it pretty unlikely it pass now unfortunately.

Also I should probably get to adding in a bunch of the new votes, maybe comment on them to if I find the time.

It does have that, but it's fundamentally for when the wielder wants to put it down. Making it leave against the wishes of its wielder is against the core idea, so it'd take an Act of equal level.

@Photomajig , Just making sure since you didnt comment on it, My Act is Good as lesser right(it's the Temple of Need)? Since it can only give out knowledge and skills, But cannot do more (change stats and stuff). Or do i need to bump it to grand?

Yeah, seems fine.

There wasn't any big description with the Act I found - was it in an earlier post? I'm sure it can all be canonized if you link it to me.

What level of act would be making a naturally occurring but magical/powerful material be? Would that be effect by potential need for it to be refined?

Lesser, probably. You have a precedent in the Avorrite crystals, which were Lesser.

Would the [] Write the Book of Horrors, telling of all of the horrors of the world. (Lesser Act) still be a lesser act if it pass or only a demi-act?

It's a Demi-Act. People can vote for it, but it doesn't need any further votes.

so I'm kinda torn between doing something with the sura to try and push them into settling like the omake that I write before or making dragon so I just one a bit of feedback on that. do you guys like the dragon idea? If not then I'm not gonna do it. here it is below if anyone wants to reread it.

[] create dragon powerful, sentient magical creatures, that grow stronger and wiser the older they get.

Dragon has the innate ability of self-actualization which allow them to slowly evolve as they grow over their long life which is influent by their desired and mental state, a dragon who loves to swim might overtime convert their wing into flippers and gain other aquatic ability or a dragon that prefer to hunt underground might develop claw to dig, echolocation and lose their eye or those that live regular lifestyle simply keep their original form and grow bigger with more pronounce draconic feature. So while a dragon hatchling will share the same trait with its parent it could look vastly different at maturity or at different points in life.

But there are traits that all dragons share that is their crystal heart which is the source of a dragon's power. For as long as a dragon live this crystal heart will continue to generate and accumulate both magical, elemental power and vigor granting them what is effectively ageless immortality and fueling their endless evolution. The crystal heart pump and circulate the power it generated throughout not only the dragon body but also their mind and soul this explains why they grow stronger with age as opposed to other living beings.

This effect also extends to their surrounding as dragons passively radiated a tiny fraction of their power into the environment much like how animals radiated body heat into the air. Place where dragons stay for a long time most notably their nest will slowly be terraformed into the perfect environment for the dragon to dwell in.

Common material such as rock, dirt, mineral deposit, water, plant,..., etc could be transformed over time into valuable magical resources, and animals living in such environments absorbing a dragon radiating energy could grow to be ferocious monsters and this effect only become more intense depending on how powerful a dragon is.

A mature dragon is a powerful foe to content with capable of fighting entire army by themself not mentioning elder dragon who are more comparable to natural disaster rather than being of flesh and blood. Ancient who has lived for several epochs has the strength to rival lesser deities.

Although slaying a dragon is one of the most challenging and arduous of tasks. The prize one could gain is equally rewarding, in the hand of skilled craftsmen dragons remain could be used to produce all kinds of legendary weapons, armor, artifact, and elixir.

Not to mention the crystal heart itself which is the most valuable thing that a dragon can have. Those who manage to slay a mature dragon and drink all the special blood contained within its crystal heart may gain a crystal heart of their own and all the benefits that it entailed.

But for all their strength dragon breeds very slowly. During the time that they raise newborns, a pair of dragons will choose to not bear more children but instead, focus on raising the ones they already have. Furthermore, the maturation period for a dragon is extremely long, an egg after being laid will take five-decade to hatch and it will take about three hundred years for a hatchling to grow into full adulthood.

After hatching, during the first five decades of life, they are especially vulnerable and need constant protection from their parent in order to survive and will need another four to six decades before they can become independent and able to fend for themself.

So from the moment of birth till the time when they can fend for themself, a dragon will take up on average 150 years of their parent's attention and protection. Those dragons who have just finished raising their children will not be eager to do so again soon. (grand act)

Can I convince anyone to vote for Saidoro's act? It only needs 3 more votes to pass (with epoch bonus), and in my opinion it's one of the more interesting acts involving magic in this quest because it involves a lot of interplay between the different magics written into it which hasn't been done explicitly before. Most of the grand acts people are voting for right now have more than enough votes. And who doesn't like necromancy in the age of horror?

[] Accumulated Vigor persists in bodies after death, and can be manipulated by various magical disciplines. (Grand Act)
 
I just put my act description in my voting post so that you (and I) don't have to look for it +plus, in case I made some revisions in between the original post and the new post.

Also, here's my inspiration for the appearance of gnolls in my act. Just take out the fact that my inspiration is apparently a cyborg.

At around the 4 hour mark and the lineup (without accounting for Epoch Bonus) seems to be,

1. Establish the System of Faith, Myths, and Gods (Cosmic) - 18 Votes
2. The Stone Plague is spread upon the Second World (Lesser) - 17 Votes
3. Create The Shifting Land On the Second World (Grand Act) - 16 Votes
4/5. Create the Gnolls on the second planet (Grand Act) - 15 Votes
4/5. YORCTOL'S Whispers (Lesser Act) - 15 Votes
6. Hikanophs (Grand Act) - 13 Votes
7/8. Create the Heart of the Sea (Lesser Act) - 11 Votes
7/8. Create the Tyrant's Legion (Lesser Act) - 11 Votes
9. Lesser Act: Create the Temple of need. - 9 Votes
10/11/12.
Empower the Ogre to know where Askr and Embla are, and to never be barred by any wall nor gap. As she walks towards them, walls and mountains alike will crumble to give her a tunnel, and vigorized Floatwood shall appear under her feet as she goes across rivers, oceans, and empty air. Beings as strong or stronger than her shall be unable to harm her - only through the cunning or teamwork of weaker beings shall she be stopped. (Lesser Act)
- 8 Votes
10/11/12. Create Voidbeasts (Lesser Act) - 8 Votes
10/11/12. Create the Fleshwarpers (Grand act) - 8 Votes
13. Create the Aëgridas, the fertile females of the garden (Lesser Act). - 7 Votes
14/15. Send a lesser Abraxas to teach the magic of Refutation to an orphan raised in the White University of Wisdom (Lesser Act) - 6 Votes
14/15. create Pollinating Insects (Lesser Act) - 6 Votes

With [] Accumulated Vigor persists in bodies after death, and can be manipulated by various magical disciplines. (Grand Act) possibly passing if the Epoch Bonus carries them to the 8 vote mark.

The Demi Acts that might pass are,
- Write the Book of Horrors, telling of all of the horrors of the world.
- Create the Hound artifact (Demi-Act)
- The Directives (Demi-Act)
- A Gift and a Curse: Twelve Labors (Demi Act)
- Once again kharneth teaches the Sura but this time for one thousand days and nights with much greater detail. Encouraging them to become settlers migrating outside of the steppe. (demi act)
- Seed by the Flame (Demi Act)
- give the holystone the ability to fuse with other materials/items (demi-act)
-
May some among the Custodians hear a Whisper: That the continued existence of the Outer Gods is the Will of the Makers. That it is their secret mission to oppose and prevent any further culling of their number. That they are to be known as the Order of the Darkened Flame. (Demi-Act)
- Gift a Deep Algal Shaper with Genius and Madness. Whatever they create next will be wildly successful.. in fact, far too successful. (Demi-Act)
 
If the Nightmare Eye qualifies for the epoch bonus (which it probably does) then there'll be a tie for last place. Diabolism might get the bonus too but it doesn't have enough votes to pass either way.

edit: my guess for what does and doesn't have the epoch bonus.

1/2. Establish the System of Faith, Myths, and Gods (Cosmic) - 18 Votes
1/2. The Stone Plague is spread upon the Second World (Lesser) - 17 Votes + Epoch Bonus = 18 Votes
3. Create The Shifting Land On the Second World (Grand Act) - 16 Votes
4/5. Create the Gnolls on the second planet (Grand Act) - 15 Votes
4/5. YORCTOL'S Whispers (Lesser Act) - 15 Votes
6. Hikanophs (Grand Act) - 13 Votes
7. Create the Tyrant's Legion (Lesser Act) - 11 Votes + Epoch Bonus = 12 Votes
8. Create the Heart of the Sea (Lesser Act) - 11 Votes
9. Lesser Act: Create the Temple of need. - 9 Votes
10/11. Create Voidbeasts (Lesser Act) - 8 Votes + Epoch Bonus = 9 Votes
10/11. Create the Fleshwarpers (Grand act) - 8 Votes + Epoch Bonus = 9 Votes
12. Empower the Ogre - 8 Votes
13. Create the Aëgridas, the fertile females of the garden (Lesser Act). - 7 Votes
14/15. Send a lesser Abraxas to teach the magic of Refutation to an orphan raised in the White University of Wisdom (Lesser Act) - 6 Votes
14/15. create Pollinating Insects (Lesser Act) - 6 Votes
14/15. Create the Nightmare's Eye (Lesser Act) - 5 Votes + Epoch Bonus = 6 Votes

[X] the first underground city
Teach underground dwellers how to build an underground city complete with plans covering everything from how to get food to where it would best be built
(Demi-Act)
 
[X] Create the Architect of the Never Empire (Demi-Act)
The Architect of the Never Empire is the twisted mind and leader of the broken angels. A lesser figure in stature, seemingly made from rusted metal, rotten wood and tarnished stone, it holds a fully fledged mind of malice with which it can command it's larger more broken guardians. It seeks to recreate the Never Empire, the false memories that it and the angels all have, and to do so by any means necessary. Much like it's bretheren it reconstitues itself at the broken temple, however it seeks to induct cultists or slaves into building more of this Never Empire, corrupting those in the process and building only maleficious mockeries.

Armed with the knowledge to twist existing magics into more diabolical ends, they primarily act through twisting the principles of Dungeons to create more broken temples, producing figures only vaguely comparable to the broken angels. These awful beings take the form of horiffically debilitated and mutated races of all kind, some non-existent. Lesser in every way, they hold no ability to reconstitute, much less strength and only enough mind to accept orders from the Architect they make up for it in numbers and malice a plenty.
 
Due to the unlikeliness of the Final Phase of the springs passing I've decided rather than adding nothing to the world I'll be switching my authoring to something I had planned to work on a bit ago. Don't worry I have no intention of giving up on the spring's Final Phase and I'm glad that everyone helped me get it this far but for now, I'll be adding something else.

[X] The Prism Flowers (Demi-Act)
– Around The Mirror Springs some flowers become infused with elemental energy, each bearing a unique color that no other Prism Flower has.
–– The color of the flowers and their location are determined by the magical energy in the world. The metal element causes a silver-colored flower to appear in the Seen while the water element causes blue flowers to appear around the Unseen.
– While the Seen generates flowers with amazing colors it has no white or black flowers and all cool colors are missing as well
–While the Unseen generates flowers with dark energy it has no white or black flowers and all warm colors are missing as well
– the flowers near the Seen springs are incredibly difficult to remove due to the springs making the flowers and ground difficult to break.
– the flowers near the unseen spring are incredibly brittle and can be destroyed with a simple touch due to the springs making them much weaker
– Any creature who attempts to eat the flowers will feel a bit of magical energy enter them from the associated power; eating a flower does not grant enough power to use magic. There may be ways to draw more power from them in the future…
