We're are still at trait cap. Any trait would cause us to explode.

Welcome back baby!
You're actually at 17 of 18 since the rework.

Feels good to be back.
Now, time to let my write in conjure up a bandwagon.

Oops, still going off the front page. Will that be changed any time soon?
I have some questions about the latest information from Actions of Others. Are high rolls how much they learn from us or us from them?
Also is the trait granted to the People dimorphic as well or will both sexes have it?
I already addressed that.

End of the turn.
High rolls represent their personal actions and how well they did, not necessarily whether they picked something up from you.
It could be dimorphic, it depends in part on the trait in question and a weighted check.
Gaerig's R&D lab go!
Also our worshippers can use it, though it's not really the most friendly realm for them to stay in, it enhances creativity!
Much the same as it was.
Current inhabitant is Rashelki:
Melee 4
Survival 7
Awe 4
Craft(Weaving) 6
Perform(Sing) 0
Perform(Dance) 0
Skill total: 21/20
Shrine Attribute is 7.
Rashelki graduates immediately unless we raise our Shrine Attribute this turn(we're trying, but you know, dice).
But I think we're using it as containment, so not sure how that changes things.
Covers for 1 pop worth of damage per year, which is pretty nice for crawling out of another Gaerigsplosion.
Pop growth boost is nice too, when we're raining the Growth blessings.
If we go full lunar disco, we could add 5-15% dissemination. We're going to be cracking this every turn anyways.
Plus there's the Quicksilver Draught...which reminds me we forgot to Mysticism research Harzivan's beer.
Well, Saiga's sleepy anyway.
Saitev did something good, but no idea what.
Keshketev made something kickass. Good for him.
Attrouska progresses her village rebuilding. Nice, but she has many to go.
Whoops!
Fox has a fine day.
Sun does not.
Not sure what the rest are up to, but I think the Fox is trolling them?
Oh good. Stay that way.
Ahaha. Ahahaha!
...has Seski been having babies every year?
I mean, yeah Ur-children are tougher than normal, but she's been having a kid, sometimes two kids, every year.
Aiming for Fertility upon ascension?
No idea what Ghette is up to.
Heh.
SV will never stop being control freaks about things.
But I think Gaelte(and Ghette) are well set, we can let them experiment alone from here. I figure we can do the same for most of our children. Monitor them to get them started, then let them be once the desired skills are at 3+.
*Pokeball wobbles*
Oh, Keshketev had some kids?
Awesome for them. Bearacles.
Too bad for the Children of the Rune, but Attrouska would probably be working on rebuilding them in the future.
Ooo.
This is the Humanity/Mischief bloodline, and we can try to add a new trait.
As a reminder:
All - Classical Affinity - Water
Males - Minor Aspect of Humanity
Females - Minor Spirit of Mischief.
If we add a second Water trait they'd be able to breath water.
Seski already counts as one of The People.
I'll recommend breeding in Minor Spirit of the Sea, as it will let them breath water, and also since they share a trait with Gaelte and Ghette, their children may also merge into the bloodline smoothly.
Pixies are pixies.
Essence Drinkers killed a few dudes.
Hmm, seems like that's a Nox bias.
Oh well.
Oh clever boy.
Domesticating animals needs the most docil to be bred. Also nice doggy.
...they have more advanced boats!
Want!
Hmm, hard to tell his traits from here.
Ah, clever Widow. Heske wasn't watching.
@Powerofmind
Does the below work?
[X] Appear to him and guide him home. Guiding the Bastard to his new home with you, you will try to settle him in your lands.
-[X] Draw him and his raft into your Divine Realm with you, then guide him to the pool within your Temple. Keep the raft, it's interesting.
-[X] Scatter logs, grass and leathers across the sea around where you took him, so it seems like the raft had been struck by foul weather.
-[X] Set up his new place near the Caldera where your Temple is, far from where Heske might see, where the lands are warm and rich for his plants.
-[X] Plot how the Bastard may disguise his appearance, such that even his father would not recognize him if they met again.
There's little chance of Heske figuring it out unless he's near the coast.
And the Caldera has a Town and more greenery, so he'd have a healthier starting base than frozen soil.

Yeah, Morte and Norte.

I can't help but imagine him as something of a cross between a completely normal guy who just happens to be a spirit of craftsmanship and minecraft Steve.

Clever, but the final two components would have to be special choices next turn.
That's... it's hard to picture that as anything but minecraft Steve, if only because despite the blocky features, Steve is exceedingly normal-looking.
Alright. Consider those two presubmitted write ins for next turn then! We'd need costs for them after all.

@Powerofmind So is Actions of others going to be a consistent thing then?
That would be great for finding ways to spend time with the kids without being overbearing...
Also what do you mean that it would depend on the trait? Would it be possible to upgrade both Humanity and Mischief instead?

Yes. I need to remind myself of which other characters exist every turn, and giving them agendas makes them more than plot devices to spring on you apparently ex nihilo.
Some traits more naturally gravitate towards other traits and would fall under a dimorph or the universal trait set more readily. Yes, you could just do that.
Willing, but difficult:
-Rituals - Unlikely to bang out a ritual fast enough from past experience. This ritual is in the 14 legend zone
-Fearbuys - From past record, fearbuying Humanity involves making heavy use of Demands and Decrees, while not doing anything else scary. Tricky.
Overall I feel adding Spirit of the Sea to the People adds more for us than Humanity. They'd hit the 2 aquatic trait threshold to be able to breath water, and they have innate Faith so they can perform minor water magic like communicating with sealife every month or so.
Still worth trying to get more Humanity regardless of that though. I'll see what I can do for Demands.

Steve, yes, but more casual.
Because, let us be frank, Minecraft Steve could probably roll over a couple of these minor pantheons.

Spirit of the Sea is still a minor though. We're also working at getting Ocean so if you really want to go that route, I think that might be better.
Either way I'm hoping for a way to get mermaid rather than fishpeople>.>
As for Demands, we haven't had any sort of festivities in our name so maybe an Annual Singing Competition, also as the Fear Goddess it might be interesting to create a Fear Festival as well, like the old stories of what Halloween used to be like(where monsters entered the villages and were appeased by tribute). Or heck as Nox Arcana we could even try and go for Walpurgisnicht(The Witch's Celebration). April Fool's Day is another option with our Spirit of Mischief.
Alternatively see if we can figure out what sort of politics is going around in the villages? That was what helped Harzivan out didn't it? Getting involved with what people do might also help push Humanities as well.

The higher up in the totem pole you go, the more distant you're going to get (it's simply the nature of divines). A regional or national god, for example, is barely (if at all) capable of mentally recognizing that Spirits are any different than mortals, which are basically relegated to 'these little mortals are like my lungs; I need them to live, but because I'm not a hyper-obsessed fitness nut, the only thought I put into them on a daily basis is when I get particularly introspective or forget to breath.'

Then what do you recommend?
Aren't those the names of the two ice golem children he already had?
I really think adding minor spirit of the sea into the people is the better call, rather than upgrading their traits. More groups that can live underwater is a great thing for us.
Veekie, do we even need to figure out a disguise for the bastard? We have the mask after all. I know people like keeping their magical artifacts close, but avoiding a war seems pretty important. The other pantheon has never actually been to our lands, so how would they know we didn't have this guy around all the time so long as he comes across different than he used to.

There's little you can do to regularly manage mortal affairs after a certain point has been reached. You can try to extend the time you have left, but as mortals go from being viewed as independent of you to 'just another part of you', Gaerig's attention will slide farther away.
Aspects in general will cease to be a valid trait choice on your next ascension, even. You'll have what you have, and you'll like it.
So basically sort out our aspects at this tier.
Chimera too.
More or less as planned
Key to a proper disguise is a cover story and preferably something innate like acquiring traits.
The mask works as a part of a solution, but shapeshifting on its own doesn't conceal your true nature.
We just need to apply some prophecy assisted Tricks.
Recall that elemental affinities are largely cosmetic for bloodlines. But an innate skill at navigation and fishing goes a very long way.
The People with Spirit of the Sea and Sea Pixie assistants can hit Fishing 7 and directly catch fish underwater.
Think on how that might affect population growth. Especially if they expand underwater.
