Great Shepard.

The Great Shepard looked angered by this "dragon". He comes into a form a man, his energy had been spent from the great rift in the skies. He spoke in a loud voice. It would reach the place from where the Dragon came. "I am their God. You do not tell /me/ what or not to do! Even so you must be mad. I did not promise them immortality, that is against the laws of nature, I promised my creation a place along side me when they die, I promised that they would be in my ethereal plane, even so you are a grain of sand compared to me! Your water will only make my lands more fertile!" He would rise back to his ethereal plane.

 

The High Prophetess.

Our home was almost drowned today. Our God went to our rescue. I shall gather people to build dikes to keep the water out.

 

OOC: Kaun could you tell me where exactly the rivers flooded? 

 

((Around the rivers themselves,covering most of the area, but not entirely))

 

 

From the Volcano laughter is heard, shaking the ground beneath Sejan,

"I am afraid it is the other way around, foolish child."

[Kaun 102]

The People of the Forest had grown, they had created a small village around the Great Tree, their numbers totalling near 50 now, they had began building more and more shelters, finding the trees close to the Great Tree not enough to house them all. So they constructed houses upon the ground, but they had no roof unless it was a storage room.

 

They had gathered a great amount of resources for their construction plans, their Forest being plentiful and replenishing what is used as quick as it is taken. They worked day and night, not requiring to sleep for strength, soon they finished and held a feast to celebrate, praying to Allahn every hour of the 2 day feast.

 

The people had finished their feast when they heard the great voice echo across the lands, at first they were confused, wondering what it meant. And then they heard the great clash of stone against stone and the bursting of boulders from the small island. At first they were terrified until Allahn appeared before them.

 

"Fear not my children, for this noise is simply one of the Forest, of Nature, a being has awoken from the depths of Time. This being slow and weakened from wounds long ago, but they are not to be dealt with lightly..." And his voice faded as he too turned to the island thinking, 'What manner of being has awoken there? To be so ancient and strong, yet so scared and wounded? And what of the Voice? Whom spoke so mightily?' He looked to his people and sent them to their work of creating another building, one of worship to him under the Great Tree.

Volkhardt would grumble, being startled as the large boom stretched across the land. He remained mostly unconcerned until he noticed the lake. Quickly, to prevent damage to the harvest, he would observe the lakes many streams and rivers before sending messages to the High Priest in his sleep. After he had finished this, he rested for a moment. This occurrence had sparked his curiosity to explore.

 

Heinrich 

I was awoken from my sleep by High Priest William. He told me of messages Volkhardt had sent to him in his sleep. He told me that the lake was draining, and the spots I had to damn to stop it. I send all of the able bodied men to the spots on each stream leading from the river. They are blocking the water flow from the river with logs.

OOC: Sorry to start OOC again but I have a question. There are different "ages" when do ages pass and new ages start?

[Try to keep this on the OOC thread but once the majority has posted for this turn, the Second Age will start. This will allow races and Gods to encounter each other.]

[ShadowoKing 86]

The Nyths

The population grew large from the first visit from their god, Setherus. They breeded up to 300 thanks to their genetic relation to the lizards they could able to reproduce 5 eggs a time. The Nyths has produced several villages split up as clans. They have learned how to fish on their jungle islands, hunt the wildlife and cook with their lastest discovery. Fire. All was good except the clans are not happy, there was no single leader and race seems divided. All clans had their idea about how things should be run, what Setherus intead for them, looks like and does he even exist few smaller clans wondered.

Setherus rewoken stronger that he was when he awoken from his first slumber, he overlooks what the races seems to progressed into and he was disappointed from the inner fighting of these clans.Suddenly he noticed the water swifting around in the waters near the islands, the Nyths has noticed too and sprinted to the viewing of the waters, the meanest and brutist of the Nyths pushed in-front to get first seats to this mysterious event happening in the waters.
Setherus has an opening to appear.

He appears before the Nyths for all to see him, he is a shadow aura with glowing red eyes. "I am Setherus. You my children has grown mighty but fallen to your grunts and moans." Setherus points to five individual Nyths, leaders of their clans. They stepped forward, few were confused and others were proud.

 

"Five clans, five clans only. You." Setherus points the middle Nyth slim but somewhat tall. "You shall be my voice, and voice of your people. You have great leadership, brutality of mighty warrior and know how to progress."

All the people of the Nyth kneel before their god, they bow their heads and lift their right arm to place their hand onto their chests. The leader known as Juk-aka stood up to raise his voice.

"Setherus has spoken. We were shown guidance by our mighty god, from this day forth all clans shall split to five with their own purpose, all clans with less numbers have options to join either of these clans and clans can decide what they tasked to do. We are the Nyth Collective."

The Nyths stood up and chanting "Nyth Collective."

Setherus disappeared and the new arrangement of a nation has began. The five clans came to decision to task themselves with, fishing, gathers, hunters, warriors and builders. The previos clans joined to these groups and made progress in each areas. As they developed in gathering the numbers required to get food and supplies.
The Nyth collective built a temple in honour to Setherus and it began a home for Juk-aka and future leaders of the Nyth Collective.

 

Setherus

 

He ponders what lies in the depth of the waters that shaken the waters, he does not want his creations fightings beasts without knowing what the beasts are. So Setherus look through the water to find these unknown creations to appear his children for future challenge.

Sinhotep

 

By now, the small group of Sincan people had grown, from a small group of new souls to a bustling town of over 300 Sincan men, women and children. They were now lead by a Priest-King named Amenhotep, who lead both religious and state affairs in Sinet, the name of this fledgling state.

 

 

Below him were two Councils which advsed the Priest-King and aided in governance, one consisting of domestic officials , and the other consisting of the Priests of the Cult of Sinhotep. Speaking of which, Sinhotep's form as he appeared to the First Sixteen had long been forgotten, and instead, the Sun was worshipped as his form, something Sinhotep saw utility in, and appreciated and understood, but felt slight discontent at. Life had been good for most Sincans.

 

Up until now.

 

The days became hotter and more arid by the hour. The lake that had been integral to the survival of the Sincan people had began to dry up, and the smell of rotting fish had become more and more a mainstay. The Amenhotep and the Two Councils convened and eventually decided: they must move. It was at that moment Sinhotep appeared to them, not as his original form, but as a smaller version of the blazing orb of the Sun.

 

"Fear not Children, this moment of hardship will pass. You must move, yes, but you need not leave these lands. Go to the East, to the other side of the Great Lake, and you will find cooler lands which you will better endure. This, I promise to you."

 

Then the ball of light faded, leaving a stunned group of Sincans.

 

But they heeded the message. The people of Sinet packed up their valuables and tools, and made the long journey to the opposite side of the lake. A few were lost to the heat, or to hunger, but eventually, they reached the other side.

 

Their reward after the arduous trek was relief from the punishing heat. They began to rebuild Sinet, though this time a proper temple to Sinhotep was constructed. 

 

[Stephensj 327]

The Second Age

Gods and their Races may now contact each other.

 

 

Volkhardt

 

He watched as his creations moved about, growing stronger. However, they were troubled. The fact that the lake may drain at any moment was bothersome, causing them to have to check it regularly. As he watched, he suddenly felt a twinge, it make the hairs stand on the back of his neck. He could sense other Gods. He looked around, not knowing who or where they were, but he knew they existed. Half excited, half anxious, he sent out a message to them. "Greetings, brothers and sisters. I am Volkhardt, creator of the Alder. My creations are beautiful, and strive towards greatness every day. However, they are a strong, determined race as well, and are more than willing to fight for survival. If you are interested in what me and my creations can offer, contact me." He sat after this, tired. He waited for a response.

 

Heinrich

 

 

The construction of a wooden wall is completed, as well as city extensions. The population grows to 650. Our blacksmiths forged heavy armor and weapons in which we arm a military of 200. I am sending a force of 100 heavy infantry to the northern plains in search of conquerable land. At the same time I have sent scouting parties to the southern peninsula and western forests. We are starting to train a cavalry force as well. I hope that we can solve the lake problem soon or the dams will eventually break.

Minisa

 

 

 

Minisa groans softly slowly awakening from her long slumber under the caves. She slowly opens her eyes lying still in the blackness of the large cave wincing when another tremor hits the pitch black cave causing parts of rock to fall onto her, she sighs softly leaning up rubbing her neck in annoyance before she looks around at her cave and at the small exit from the cave and slowly walks towards it soon walking into a very dense forest with massive tree's and vegetation, Many bugs of certain sizes along with tough looking creatures venture around the jungle floor ignoring her. Minisa glances back towards the cave sighing to herself as she slowly walks into the blackness and slowly begins to sculpt with what she has around her, taking the rock, clay and any other minerals she could find before she steps back to look at her tall gray figure and breaths life into it shuddering slightly as she feels some of her power drain away into the creation. Smiling she slowly steps back and looks over the now breathing creature who stares at her in confusion before she speaks in a soft voice "I am Minisa and you are my creation, and thus you will do my biding and will get my protection, but you must worship me so I can give you that protection...I will provide a partner in this dangerous land, a partner you must watch and provide for along with protect for she will be the future of your people..." The tall man blinks staring at her in awe as she slowly sculpted another figure making an exact replica of herself and breaths life into her "You the replica of myself and I declare you to be the leader of your people, yes you are small but in the future if you work hard and fight your way to be the most power in this jungle then you will earn my protection..." With that she gives the two of them the knowledge to hunt, build, write and other necessary abilities to survive before disappearing to slumber. While sleeping her two creations begin to create the most basic's of survival, a long spear for proper hunting-given its simple made of wood and sharp rock, then they made a hut right on the entrance of the cave before continuing their work.

 

(edit)

A while into her sleep she is awoken by some strange feeling....and felt afraid that something terrible has happened but soon she shuddered as she heard a voice from someone....strange....different...and listened carefully before giving a weak response "My people are new to our land....but they are giving it their all to survive and thrive....I do not wish to put them in any harm....Ill say more once I've regained some more strength..."

[Kaun 102]

Allahn watched as his people continued the construction of his Temple. His children had little to worry of in their Forest, they were as if the trees, so carnivorous beasts did not attempt to kill them, and the Forest itself was abundant with food and supplies. He liked this, knowing his people were sated with where they were.

 

As Allahn was strolling through the Forest, he felt a sensation of power, he could feel the presence of other Gods in the World, scattered across the land. He then heard the call of Volkhardt, feeling his power was close, he replied to him.

"I am Allahn, Lord of Life and Nature, its Guide and Protector, greetings from The Forest. My people are the Forestians, a peaceful people whom seek only to protect and create new Life as I have done. We lie in the Great Forest in the West. Our land holds much to offer others and perhaps those of others offer us something in return. If you wish for our peoples to meet, seek us in the Great Forest, but be careful in your journey."

 

Allahn, now knowing there were other Gods in the world, went before his people and deemed to them they must construct a wall atop the plateau edges, and create gates around the paths up to its top. Soon they set to work in creation of a strong wooden wall, beginning from the direction towards the mainland.

 

Event: World

 

As the Gods became aware of one another, they would find two presences standing above all others.

They find in the far North, deep beneath the Volcano they sense a great power lurking, far stronger than they, but feeling as if it is there and not, as if Alive, and Dead.

 

The next presence they feel is one older than anything they knew to exist, or even fathom could. A power of immeasurable strength lurking in the world, somewhere, far from sight and barred from communication. The pure strength of this hidden God could cause weakened (Not much strength at the moment I.E:used power to do something lately) Gods to fall from the sudden jolt of power.

 

 

Allahn furrows his brow after sending his message, he felt 2 powers beyond anything he thought possible. One from the Far North, he felt strangely, connected to it in some way, but disconnected in every way. He looks to the North, seeing the Volcanic cloud rising from even here. He then thinks to himself, 'The Great Voice that spoke came from the North... perhaps this would be its caller?'

He then gripped his fists as he felt the hidden power of the other being, beyond possible in strength, he believed it impossible for something to be so strong, but it was indeed there. He felt as if it was close, yet far, and barred from being found by any God. He decided not to truly act upon this power, but to simply watch it incase something happened.

[bickando 3967]

Branyng

 

Great were the powers that were to the north, but Branyng stood unfazed. He peered down upon his people, the almost 600 strong Preuskil populace of Preusk. Directing the hierarchy was his chosen, Joen Archa, the Arkreine of Preusk. They were beginning to build up stone constructs for defense and tools of war. Slowly he began to feel presences other than his own, many in the South and two in the North, but the two greater than the many. Such was his knowledge when he declared to the heavens,

 

"I am Branyng, the Blade of the Mountains and creator of the Preuskil. My people are hardy and determined, and our wills intertwined. I am willing to speak in friendly terms to many, but be warned that to fight me is foolhardy."

 

After his short message he went back to watching his creations with interest. The earthquakes shake around him, but he finds little consequence from them lest his people are affected.

 

The Preusk Empire - Joen Archa

 

The first castle of Preusk is complete, though it is little more than a stone hill. Our population is 600 and grows almost daily, and I have sent out one hundred and fifty iron-armed soldiers to the East-Southeast direction to construct a camp that we may gain more livable land for ourselves. Churches begin to be built to worship our god Branyng and statues in town that we hope emulates him. I believe he has sent me the wish to send scouts in the direction exactly Southeast from our strip of fertile land to look for others. We have begun to mine into the lowest stone hills of Preusk, careful to make sure the earthquakes do not collapse upon any miners, and have constructed farms on what little fertile land we own currently.

[Angel~ 34]

Minisa

 

 

Minisa slowly got up sighing happily as she felt more refreshed shifting around slightly before she slowly looks down at her creations, blinking she stared happily at the progress they've already made. Their population has risen to the sixties and they've cleared out the small vegetation around the cave entrance, houses being created as well and jobs being assigned by the replica of herself. She looked even closer and smiles happily as she watches some of the males carry make shift pick axes into the large cave to search for ore's, a larger building being made to hold all their supplies. Soon the designated leader said to create better hunting weapons, a council being made for certain things including the art of war, a very small town watch being made of the towns strongest males and a few females. Small path ways being made branching out across the island, plans being made for the future to expand around the island. In the mean time some of the vegetation would be cleared away and small make shift wooden fences being created but the biggest construction would be of a make shift church then a priest would be elected, a decision being made to where the priest has a little bit less then equal power to the leader of the tribe.

The Great Shepard

The Great Shepard viewed his creation happy that they were able to build a few dikes. Now with the new farmland they have food to feed more populous and he is sure more and more Sejan will be born.Suddenly he felt a tingle in the back of his neck, he became aware of other Gods.

​"Greetings I am the Great Shepard, Lord of the Plains. My people are the Sejan, they are good Farmers and livestock raisers. Altough do not think of them as weak they can still raise a spear if they need to."

 

The High Prophetess Handriana.

We have successfully built dikes and now we have farmlands. Our population just reached 600 we shall build more housing.We have yet to build a temple but I shall sacrifice 3 goats in honor of our God so that our faith will be stronger.A few of our warriors reported seeing a host of about 90 men. They wear shiny metals around them...Perhaps we should be friendly.I shall ride a horse to meet them with 40 of our warriors.

Field Marshal Ulrich

Me and my men have been moving through this land, studying it. We like what we see. Great plains good for farming and herding. I believe it would be in the interest of our people that we claim these lands. We have encountered some figures that seem civilized. It seems that their leader has come to speak. I will walk out to meet her. "Greetings! I am commander of these forces, servant of Konig Heinrich. We come in search of farmable and settleable land."

The Prophetess strides up with her 40 warriors, they are painted in war paints and carry spears. As the young High Prophetess strides fort, she is also painted with strange markings.

"Greetings servants of Konig Heinrich.I'm High Prophetess of the Sejan. Chosen of the Great Shepard God of these lands. If you wish to settle here be warned these are our lands, although, if you wish for food our farmlands are open for trade at cheap prices.If you are in need of water or a place to rest, let me lead to my village."
