"And I warned you to not endanger my Children." The Formless One answered the Warlord. Darjuu soon visited his people once more and inspired them to take up arms to defend themselves. The God felt positively sickened at the prospect that so many would soon die, but the pursuit of Enlightenment always comes with a heavy cost.

The Wayfarers continue to fill the surrounding lands, moving to quickly fill the forests that surround their volcanic homeland. The armies continue to march on the forces that surround them. Celios sends a sign of his favor by tricking the Centaur Scouts with an illusion, destroying a third of their armies.
The great comet leading towards the Axis Mundi stirs the wanderlust their fickle god planted in their hearts--surely an ever-changeable home would finally sate their constant need to feel new things?

Having killed more birds, the mother lets her goblins go wild taking off after the mountains and attacking the first race held by a god. the other race had no idea that the goblins might be able to reach them in there lofty home.
more land is open to the goblins, they start to build more monuments to the mother and find better ways to gather and grow food. and how to make armys as well in lumpy land.
A armor clad messenger brings another last offer to Darjuu "You cannot fight on two fronts Darjuu, take my military alliance as to benefit each other for the greater good of our people, otherwise you will force my sword upon you"

The Wayfarers quickly find a taste for war, cutting through centaur and thunderbird alike. They learn quickly from their battles, donning new weapons and protective gear to make them harder to kill--and to make their enemies quicker to fall. And even as they turn their eyes to the north, where new enemies await in the barren mountains, their god shifts the earth beneath the feet of their foes, lowering the defensible positions those mountains once provided.

The depredations of Mogar the Goblin Mother and her broodlings shall this day be stayed, but not by Iazamaz--who suffers even now under their assault--but by the flower of Grasvolk chivalry, come to the rescue with single minded-focus: extermination! Inspired by their god, the Grasvolk squadrons shift to Fireweed forms, perfectly suited to thrive in the volcanic environment, and grow horny, heavy carapaces of ironwood plate to blunt the axes and swords of the Goblins. Riding atop snarling honey badgers and wolverines, they ascend at double-time the mountains to conquer!
"I am going to sweep you from this land," speaks Fraemaour in rare-wrath as a ubiquitous voice, snarling from out the life of the land, "Goblin Mother. You and your kind shall be the first to fall, for Iazamaz swears fealty unto me, and as his suzerain, my Grasvolk shall turn your children to mulch!
But the god supports his people not merely by fiery rhetoric, but also by his miraculous powers: For alongside the assault, he causes the vegetation to strike at the Goblins which would make deeper incursions into Ethereal land. The land beneath sprouts razor-sharp stalks of grass which tear at the Goblins like tens of thousands of scourges, ripping the flesh from their skeletons in a whirlwind of flung flesh and gore. When his power is expended, the blood runs in torrents down the volcano side. The same, no doubt, shall be the result of the work of the Grasvolk cavalry.

Fellow Ethrials can we trust Fraemaour, he has killed our people and clames that our God serves him. did we not have peace with the grasvolk, even now they come to our captured city and surely will kill more of our kind in trying to rid us of one goblin army. Fraemaour comes with not just one army as the goblins did but with 6 of them, he has changed his people to thrive on our land. surely he will take our remaining city's as his own. will we stand for this outrage?

You can't create armies at G12 (it's not yours) nor shield it. So you start with 6 power (due to -3 from illegal actions).

Turn 7 begins!
The bloodbath from the war between the gods continues apace, and as a wrathful deity of conquest, Alosvalophos breathes deep of the death stench in satisfaction. "Well does the corpses stink, and the gods please me in their bloody and broiling manner. Good show, ye divines. You remind me of myself--and that is a high compliment!"
RULE CLARIFICATION: Magic shields are broken if the settlement is conquered.
RULE CHANGE: However, either attacker or defender (yes, defender) can cast a NEW MIRACLE Preserve Shield. Cost: 10 power. Class: Civic.
RULE CLARIFICATION: Magic shields are settlement actions. You can't do anything but grow that settlement if you throw up magic shields. Think of them like creating armies.

Alosvalophos, for all his talk of war, however, is not without mercy to the fallen. Seeing that some gods are in precarious positions, whilst the world is yet young, he opens more of the world to be settled by the gods.
"For the weak, there is mercy. My kindness surprises even me!"
Meanwhile, beneath the waters, strange bubbles are seen rising to the surface. What could be happening?
create people p11 (24 power)
magic shield on the settlement (3 power)
magic shield on H12 (3 power)
giving remaining 2 power and 12 science to Fraemaour.

iazamaz appears before his people , more transparent than usual, his form faint and his wisps of shadow not stretching very far at all.
"weak am I, and therefore have I become the vassal of another much stronger, in hopes of growing under him.As agreed, we give Fraemaour 12 casts of our burnt wine, and teach them our ways for the next 5 cycles.Grieve now for your fallen brothers, for we will no longer fall."

Mogar responds to the other gods Declaration of war.
That was not an attack on your people iazamaz, it was a lone scouting expedition seeing where they could go. they just happened upon your lands. Now you two gods will know true war from the mother of goblins. Let us see if the combined might of two gods is enough to stop me. look at your own people, shadows? really did you think they could fight me. Plants you forcefully have to change to have a chance, when i only had scouts. let the battle start. i might lose my children scores at a time but they end up killing themselves for fun in the same number. do your best.

Few words are heard from the god of the Prides. The Lords grow wary of the silence to the east, and gird themselves against attack. Visions of strange folk elsewhere in the world warn them of what can happen to those unprepared for war.
You forgot to lower the terrain at B7. It should be hills currently; I'm treating it as such below. I also shouldn't have armies at A8 or B8.

Even as the Wayfarers leave the settlement they have just conquered, the ground becomes cracked and pitted, and much of the indigenous flora and fauna are lost forever. With each battle it seems the Wayfarers learn new techniques. Their armor grows stronger, their blades sharpen, and still they progress.
Elsewhere, their fiery trickster god awakens a long-dead volcano, and the Wayfarers begin to station armies to protect the vast volcanic hellscape that is their homeland.
A lone Wayfarer messenger, concealed by illusions by his god, makes his way to the camps of the Minoans, where his presence is revealed. "If your people come no further south than they have already reached, we shall go no further north; there is world enough for both of us to explore."

"Broodsow," mocks Fraemaour, "your fecundity shall be well needed ere this Cycle ends when my Grasvolk crush your expansion! Mock my chosen as you might, but theirs is the power which will destroy your Goblin filth and wipe you from this land. BEGONE! I shall conquer you to the last. The Ethereals are second to my heart, and shall be honoured in my Kingdom of Life, which brokers no place your matriarchy of decay."
The attack upon Mogar draws upon the tenacity of life to pursue aggression far in excess of their normal capacities. The scrublands near to the volcanos levee en masse squadrons of cavalry from the barren hills, which are inspired by Fraemaour to ride their mounts to death and then fight as dragoons when their badgers and wolverines fail them.
Meanwhile, more razor-whip plantlife slaughter the Goblins in preparation for further military action that sees Ethereals join the Grasvolk in the assault.
"The natural order is clear: Ever must the Mother obey the FATHER! So listen to me, Mogar: Surrender -all- your Power drawn in the next cycle, from all sources, and I shall grant you peace for 4 cycles, no matter what the result of my assaults this age."
OOC: If Mogar grants me all her power this coming turn, I shall allow her peace for 4 cycles (neither of us can attack the other, including Iazamaz), no matter what is the result of the combat this turn. Otherwise, it shall be total war.
Edit: Do not grow L12. Pop: 6.
Also, clearly that above turn was for Fraemaour, not Alosvalophos. Good thing I caught onto that right away! SAVE YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T.
Sorry about the confusion. None of the above represents my role as GM in the least, to note. That's pure Fraemaour power stuff, not GM stuff.
Again: Sorry for confusion. That was silly of me.
Ink.
Ink suspended in water.
Twisting in a weightless dance, spreading in a cloud of grey around a deep, glossy black.
And bubbles. Oh so many bubbles. Bubbles that froth the surface of the sea, that turn blue to white, and then...pop. Pop. Pop. Little grey clouds float from the pop, pop bubbles, each with a speck of that darkness, that deep ink, in the very center.
Woe to the world from those bubbles!
Or woe to the Orizaba. For it is towards them that the clouds of grey-around-black ink-mist blow. Towards the homeland within the deep, dark forests where the skull-cheeked maidens parthogenetically populate their kind.
"Such strange love," a voice seems to say. But there's just...bubbles. And clouds. And ink. And the rain that falls black and staining.
And then they change. Melt. Twist. Dance. Dance to a Waltz of Void, as the strings of the Orchestra of Logic are first stilled, then snapped, in .
The god herself comes next, but she is not to dance. No, she is to join the music, to be merged within its notes, to be dissolved into the ink. Yes, Itzpapalotl becomes the music itself as she is melted by the terrible power in those bubbles and clouds, and which drives her people to the sea.
It is a sight to behold: Millions of the Orizaba. Millions in the dance. Their footsteps are gentle, and yet together they shake the earth. And then the sea. They churn it, and the forth takes shape and darkens. Darkens back to the ink, as it takes shape. Man-shape. Or something like it--the Black Vizier.
"How well you dance, dryads! Oh, you do not like that term? Or rather that form? Then join my sea; my abyss. How better you'd be there!"
So ends the Orizaba. They too, dissolve. But they do not become music. No. They become the ink, the ink in the bubbles, the ink in the clouds. And then they emerge new...altered, strange. No longer Orizaba, no. But things of the sea. Things of the ink. Black and mighty, the Kraken thrash! Slick with slime, the sirens sing! And deep, deep, deep down below...the leviathan is the tyrant of the abyss.
"The Riptide Confederacy is born! How sweet these creatures were to kill themselves for the birth of my people! I do so love sacrifice. It warms my heart, it does!"
And then he turned to the Heavens, his arms stretched wide and his head thrown back, "Alosvalophos, victor of another world and maste rof this, hear my promise: I am no God, merely a helper; and as a helper, I shall assist you! Mighty will my Riptide Confederacy be, to challenge the gods that they might prove their worth before your eyes!"
EVENT: The Riptide Confederacy is born. This shall be a sea-based NPC faction that shall make all sorts of difficulties for the players and provide commeasurable rewards beginning next cycle. However, in a rare move, the map has been updated mid-turn to include the Orizaba's departure from the world.
Kudos to the Warlord for suggesting the title and broad concept.

In the celestial heaven where Alosvalophos reigns from on high, Atilliax, his first and greatest son, bows before his father and speaks.
"Father, must we allow this presumptuous fool to act without bidding and disrupt the gods below? I ache to set him right with my sword!"
"Patience," answers the father with a laugh that rings like iron bollides striking one another in deep space, if such could be heard in the absence of oxygen, "he amuses me. But worry not: Your sword -will- see action...but not yet. These gods are too weak to face you yet, my son. Far, far too weak. Though they fight with such dash and elan!"

Whereas you CANNOT make CONDITIONAL ACTIONS, you may cast miracles in excess of what's necessary to accomplish a given action. So if a tile has 5 pop, you may smite it 10 times if you imagine the player will throw up 5 magic shields. Now, this would be dumb in most situations, but I might as well allow it.
If you opt to do this, you do not get your power back from the miracle not going through. All miracles that are cast cost Power at the time of casting and this is unrefundable.

Secure in their new victory, the Wayfarers send their armies to reinforce their borders, wary of attack from their neighbors. Yet even as they move, they notice that the waters are already filled with strange new life. Fearing what the oceans may hide, the Wayfarers quickly set to work building mighty seafaring ships, and send an expeditionary force out to cleanse the waters of these new threats.
Meanwhile, in the north, the fiery Celios rends the lands asunder and raises up new volcanoes, creating new shelters for his people in the terrains like those of their lost homes.

Last Turn Advantage Modifier:
Maximum negative for a player with 15 worshippers or less (at start of turn) is 0. Positive still applies for first turns.
This is to prevent any gods who are restarting elsewhere from being screwed by turn order. Especially if you have 0 pop, like Darjuu, and are rolling only 2d6. You could easily have negative power at that point, which would mess with game mechanics and permanently screw a player over.
61 religion + 2 gifted power + 5 power (turn modifier) = 92.
Good. Very good.

"Broodsow!" shouts Fraemaour across the endless grasses of his people and above the seaways. "You have fled my grasp in the West, but now you dare to take the Axis Mundi before me that you, in your foulness, would raise your vision upon my world?! You flee too near and think yourself clever! Away with you, to the isle that the God has prepared for the defeated, and I shall pursue you no further, but I shall erradicate your people to the man if you remain, or follow you yonder if you attack my Vassal."
In line with the bellicose rhetoric of Fraemaour, the Grasvolk are ceaseless in their pursuit of the Goblin Mother. The seas become a fresh conquest as they adapt to the saltwater by building great, broad barges that are equally suited to the deepest of waters as they are to swift travel over shallows. Their military attentions turn also to the Riptide Confederacy, challenging those creatures where they live.
No longer rodent-height, the Grasvolk again refresh their forms to tower higher than men--giant, changing grass-dolls, with faces composed of knots of the same, which move with their inner life that animates their limbs with the vitality of the fields themselves. Their civilization booms to accomodate the change, and the high stave churches reach gargantuan heights over grasses that dwarf old-growth trees.
Lastly, there is a message given unto Celios and his Wayfarers, allaying fears, "Fire-lord, Celios the Wise, He-Who-Brings-Life-to-the-Land has no aims on your people, though I draw nigh to your shore to make war upon the Confederacy. Provided you desire not war with me, let there be peace upon the next cycle, and if you are inclined, for two further cycles thereafter.
"You may settle on the Southern Continent along the jungles if you so desire, but let there be a 'friendly distance' between us, lest closeness breed contempt."

As the last of his Children fall, Darjuu withdrew into himself and grieved for them.
A small grassfire brings a reply to the Grasvolk: "Lifebringer! Celios, who forges knowledge from fire, desires no war with your people. So let the people of the grass and the people of the flaming waste exist in peace for these three cycles: may you see through new eyes every day until the world's passing."
"Darjuu, my offer of peace still stands you may regain your strength under my wing"
Fraemaour pronounces for any to hear to his vassal, Iazamaz, "So those who think my recent actions bespeak a bellicose character alone, allow me, o! Iazamaz, to renounce my claim to the further shipments of burnt wine. May you drink them, and drink deep, that you might grow now that you've found new lands to settle. You shall need the wine to retain the godly power necessary to engage in such, and provide me the knowledge you so agreed to give!"
OOC: Fraemaour renounces the part of the pact that Iazamaz has to grant 13 more units of power.

"You think that I would accept assistance from either you or the one who brazenly slaughtered my Children? Nay you are mistaken." With that, Darjuu fled to the east and settled upon a mountain. Grabbing a hand full of dust, he concentrated his will upon it and let it fall to the ground. Once again, his Children lived, but Darjuus heart was not the same as it had been, he now gazed into the west with vengeance burning within.
