Darjuu grew violent like a raging storm. "Grotar! Leave my Children be or this shall be your fate!" The clouds above the armies of goblins began to swirl and grow dark. As they gained strength, three cyclones descended from the sky and engulfed a vast number of the little beasts. When they faded to nothingness, not a single sign of the goblins engulfed remained.

Sorry for the silence, been sick the past three days. I'll get an update when I get home later today.

Deciding not to let his vengeance consume him, Darjuu turned the serenity of nature. Commanding his priests to create gardens in his temples, the God could feel his inner fires become cooling waters. But alas, a creature made of smoke invaded his dreams. Inspiring his children, one legion of his bravest warriors traveled west to battle the dread beast.

I'll take the Nature domain and I'll not concede my power.

Hey everyone, sorry for the sudden disappearance last night. Just letting you all know that I'm still alive, but I'm going to have to take a break from the game today. My mind is a little frazzled for RP and I just need a little time off. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be recharged and ready to go.

"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.

"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.

Crossing my fingers that I got it right this time.

Darju

You do not gain power from religion in excess of the pop on the square. You only get 1 more power from religion, not 4. This means you have 1 less power than you think at the end of the turn - invalidating one action due to lack of power.

Good thing: It was just an advancement that gave you 1 science. The bad news: You needed that 1 science to get Armour 3. You can't get Armour 3, but you do have 2 extra science.

You also cannot get armour 3. You have no armour. You could only get armour +1.

Are you sure? I had 2 Religion at the start of Turn 2 and had 2 Pop in one settlement and 3 Pop in the other. The way I read it I could gain up to 2 Power per Settlement, provided each Settlement has at least 2+ Pop. Or did I misread the Rules?

The Formless One contemplated The Warlords words. "I shall meditate on your words. Leave my children be as I deliberate."

The arrival of the Centaurs worried Darjuu. Appearing to his elder priests, the Formless One spoke, "The time has come, my children, to prepare yourselves to defend the Enlightenment. While I do not condone the taking of life, that does not mean that my children should not defend themselves." Immediately, the Priesthood spread the word of Darjuu, and the Velmoru developed the arts to defend oneself from aggression.

Fallen_Mage here with my submission:

Name: Darjuu; The Storm of Enlightenment, The Formless One

Name Code: DJU

Domains: Discovery and Protection

Race: Velmoru

Race Code: VU

Terrain: Barren Mountains

Starting Advancement: Religion

Description:

Darjuu is a God of no form. It exists primarily as a swirling tempest of dark clouds and vivid lightning. However, within lies a gentle entity that has sworn to pierce the darkness of ignorance.

Followers:

The followers of the Storm of Enlightenment, are a devout and studious people. For them, the pursuit of knowledge is paramount, for there is a prophecy in their teachings that goes: 'Once the veil has been pierced, shall Darjuu emerge with physical form and bring the Light of Knowledge to all sentient beings.' As a result, they study vigorously so their God can achieve physical form.
