As the last embers of the dying world faded away, the gods looked on, distraught at the state of affairs. How had it come to this? The world that they had nurtured, cared for, was now no more. It didn't take long for them to begin to turn on each other, listing all the grievances the other gods had inflicted upon them and their worshipers.
One sharp, booming word echoed throughout what was left of the universe. "Enough!"
Falke, God of Order, stepped forward, and began denouncing the chaos that had seeped in their ranks. Arguing over blame was for children, not beings as immortal as they.

One final note: This is, of course, an RP, so I'll expect players to, well, RP. But I understand that, especially early in the game, there won't be much TO rp. With that in mind, I'm going to separate god actions and RP: Player posts will include an initial RP sectional, and a hider at the end containing their actions and point expenditures. Now, I still expect you guys to RP when you do a new action, but if you're just modifying land the same way you've been doing for the last three turns, you don't need to invent a new contrived explanation for it each time.
