I bring fair tidings everyone. I'll be making up a post soon but one quick question before I do.

Anyone interested in seeing the first new domain come up for grabs? Or would you rather get more stuff done between one-another first?
@Leotamer - That much is true. To invent things however one must first have the idea. Should a god be inspired to create something it would always be feasible so long as it isn't antithetical to their domain. Deities however tend to be fairly specialized in their domain, hence why a majority of creations tend to involve it. I am not saying that a sun god cannot create crops but given the era specified I just think it'd be a little odd. Not the most unlikely god for that but a jump like that is something better reserved for in-rp contemplation and discovery rather than something that happened in the past despite seeing no signs of it anywhere else.
@ReusableSword - It depends on what is used to maintain them. A basic entrance only really needs attention should something block it's way or should the frame get damaged. If there's any sort of effects or enchantments imbued upon the entrance then they'll require a god to regularly recharge their divine magic or the magic behind their effects will wear away until the entrances revert to normal. Unless you're proposing that these crabs act as conduits for Naswaru's divine power to recharge whatever effects you might have had placed on the entrances then all that's needed is to check for mundane wear and tear amongst other things every so often.

On a separate topic, just to clear up something for everyone just in case there was any confusion, deity's are the only sources of magic in this world. There is no generalized "Magic" in this world that isn't the direct result of some god or goddess lending their power. The only other force in this world is unseen and unknown to all currently.
@Stern Algorithm - Hm. The way I saw it was that he simply had a bunch of people living in his unique realm construct. Iva'Krorh has a library and Anu'Varr has a tower after all. It made sense if he wanted to have his god's home set up with some followers of his own. Naturally the whole "Progressive human government maintained by humans in full on cities built by humans guarded with armies" bit certainly wasn't getting a pass from me but I did mention that. Seeing as my time was fairly scarce today I had little time to adjudicate the various edits his background was undergoing to monitor what content remained and what did not. I've read it over just now though and it seems in order.

@Lmpkio - One thing I will note is that in his history it states that he returned and made room for homes and crops. Given how the current age of technology is still in a hunter/gatherer stage unless it's specifically stated that he invented farming crops (Which I seriously doubt) it'd be best to eschew that segment of history.

Do bear in mind that while I do vet these things such matters take time, especially during the daytime. If there's an issue you all believe needs attention do hit me with a mention and I'll get to it at the earliest opportunity.

@ReusableSword - Do define what you mean by maintain. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be doing.
@Lmpkio - I've read over it and it's quite good. I personally don't see any issues with the state it's at now.

@Vega7 - Unfortunately due to reasons pertaining to the underlying lore of the world I can't accept a god of entropy. That's pretty much The Void's purpose anyhow and no gods would ever be born to serve it.
@Lmpkio - As far as physical stuff goes that's fine. According to his realm info the cities themselves got some potent light magic and unless it's Dirka's magic he's the one supplying the power ultimately. Such is the same with all light magic his followers use.

Edit:@Lord Zee - Well with each god having realms that include structures unique to themselves exceptions can occur. I will admit though that having his followers build these structures without aid from the god of knowledge or otherwise does strike a bit odd. It'd make more sense if it was his creation as opposed to his followers.
@Lmpkio - I'd say so. Do bear in mind that in creating all these powerful structures and such the god himself would be fairly exhausted by such an amount of work, not to mention if he cares to perform any actual upkeep on the majority of it.
@Lmpkio - As far as his army is concerned I think the armor and weaponry available to them is quite a bit further ahead of pretty much everyone at this stage of the world. Humanity's not really even at the bronze age yet so having a military comprised of flying knights clad in plate mail and such might be a bit out of his reach, especially given how he's the god of light, not technology or even metals.

I'd say that sort of army would probably be better left as something to work towards in-rp. Maybe he'd want to get Ferron in on that business, get ahead of the curve by being one of the first nations to develop proper metal armor.
Good evening everyone. I've been fairly busy reading over the recent posts amongst other things so I might have been a bit more silent and secluded than before. Just letting everyone know once I've read through these posts once everyone's gotten a chance to introduce their gods I'll get to work on a new post of my own. If I've missed anyone's questions as of late please remind me as I've been fairly scattered and unable to give everything quite the amount of attention it deserves.

I must say though I'm quite thrilled to see this succeeding quite nicely. I hope everyone's enjoying posting as much as I am enjoying watching you all post. All in all, excellent work everyone!
@Vega7 - Depends on their domain and how inclined a god is to keep themselves hidden. Dao Rugadh is the god of memory so he'd be better at hiding from gods of the mind. Iarus naturally would be the best at keeping himself hidden from detection since his domain is deception. Overall it largely boils down to how good your domain is at hiding/revealing things and how much effort the other god is putting into hiding. Even gods of large and easy to spot domains can conceal themselves, it's just harder.
