HUM, Handler of Souls, God of Life and Death

HUM invisibly watched over all the Races of the World as time passed, noticing the Gnomes and Humans in particular take part of a plant and then bury it beneath the soil. Rains came, and then young plants grew from the soil, eventually growing tall before being harvested for their fruits. "Interesting, interesting. But I, too, have an idea..."

In a flash, HUM's essence coalesced above a group of Arachnids. They were hunting a beast of the forest, a powerful deer with impressive antlers. He descended into the midst of the group, which were shocked at the God's appearance, but kept this to themselves in order to not disturb the deer.

"Greetings, my creations," spoke the God into their minds as he summoned a copy of the deer's favorite fruit in his hand, "Why hunt the creature, when you could capture and breed it?" HUM thrust his hand forward and called to the deer mentally, causing it to walk carelessly to HUM and begin eating the fruit in his hand, "This deer shall be the first of many. Teach them there is safety among you, let them grow and multiply, then kill them as needed, but always ensure you have breeding pairs to make more." With that, HUM disappeared, the fruit now held by an Arachnid.

Some time later, HUM appeared to the south of the forest that the Arachnids called home, an empty land devoid of anything that truly existed, save for some water that crashed upon nothingness not too far away, "Hmm. This is a good spot."

In an instant, great mountains exploded forth from the nothing, rising higher and higher, quickly accumulating snow, ice, and glaciers. HUM took to the summit of the tallest one, casting a shield to keep out mortals, and set about crafting a home for the Gods themselves if they so wished there. It was by far the tallest mountain in the Natural World, and it was named Skypierce, much like its twin within Sanctuary.

When his creation was finished, HUM spoke to his brothers and sisters by casting his voice across the Realms such that only they could hear, "Brothers, sisters, I have lifted up the ground and created for us a neutral meeting grounds and home at the top of Skypierce, the tallest mountain in the world. If you so wish, you are welcome to come here whenever you want. There shall be no fighting upon Skypierce, thank you."

A few years later, as HUM traveled the world, he came upon the Blistering Sea and looked at it with disgust, deciding to attempt to corral the Sea with a series of mountain ranges, once more rending the nothing into something and lifting the ground high. There was something incredibly pleasing about sitting at the snowy summit of a mountain, even if the sea was of the hell that was the Blistering Sea, and there HUM remained for yet more years, considering the world before popping back into Sanctuary and retiring to his home there.

Action 1 - Advance Race: HUM comes to the Arachnids and teaches to them the art of Animal Husbandry, the first race to learn of such a science.

Action 2 - Shape Land: HUM descends southward to the empty peninsula near the Arachnids and decides to craft a great mountain range much like Skypierce in Sanctuary. He sets about his work, creating a range with a series of enormously high mountains topped with icy snow and glaciers, culminating in Skypierce itself. The highest mountain in the Natural World, it juts against the sea, daring it to crash against it yet never eroding for some reason, blessed by HUM. Skypierce's summit was announced by HUM to be a permanently neutral ground for any God to come to and even make a home if they wish.

Action 3 - Shape Land: As HUM travels the world, he comes to the edge of the Blistering Sea and decides to try to keep it contained, erecting yet another snow-topped mountain range, intended to straddle and surround the Blistering Sea.
