Godspeed!

@Frettzo Oh boy, well, I guess we'll see what happens then. >.>

@Lord Zee

If you want the land for Larwen exclusively, though, I can easily move the valley to another mountain Range.

Godspeed!

@Frettzo I don't mean to be rude about it whatsoever BTW, I just think Aella would probably not want to be anywhere near Larwen.

@Lord Zee

Nah, don't worry about it man. She may not agree with Larry's unreasonable hostility, but she doesn't dislike him too much yet. In a while if nothing else pops up, Aella might actually visit Larwen's territory (since they're neighbors now, pretty much), we could collab that stuff. It'd be pretty cool if Larwen and Aella were actually friendly with each other! She doesn't seek conflict :p

Edit: One question: Do Gods know the name their siblings gave to land or creations instinctively?

Godspeed!

my internet is dying, delet dis

Godspeed!

@Frettzo Uh, you do realize that is where Larwen is at right?

edit: My landgrab from yesterday

Landgrab

@Lord Zee

The top left spot, in the mountain range? If so, I'll change the spot. I didn't see any marking in the map in the zero'th post IC so I assumed it was free.

Edit: Oh. Well, I have no problem with the valley being near Larwen. It will probably eventually be corrupted as hell but w/e, nothing's forever lol. Corrupted beings alse need getaway-spots :p

Godspeed!

Sounds like a problem with your internet. I can simplify it, but it won't look as good.

EDIT: The current iteration is currently about 6mb, which means it takes me about 6 seconds to load it. If your internet takes 5 minutes to load it, there's Big Issues with your internet.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

Don't worry about it, I live in the third world so my internet speed is not as fast. I downloaded the map and saw it was at 9.3 mb so that answers my questions lol.

Anyway, here's my landgrab, had to upload the pic in a smaller size and resolution for practicality purposes (landgrab is the yellow dot up and to the left, named Aella's Retreat): sta.sh/0btau7sw9jp . Yes, I'm linking it cause putting the pic here directly seems to lower its quality. No idea what's happenin.

Edit: here's another version, I think this one's bigger? I think my eyes are mad. Gremju's getting to me mate sta.sh/0apo3bct1oc

Godspeed!

@WrongEndoftheRainbow, is it possible to cut down the map size a bit? As of now it takes me a p long time to load it, I have to keep it open in a different tab for like 5 minutes for it to display completely.

Godspeed!

Level 1 Goddess of Kindness
In our childishness, life was filled with torment. We have to do better.

---

It seemed like this planet had much more water than the last one she'd been a part of. The oceans covered so much of the surface that for a moment, she'd actually wondered if this was supposed to be an entirely oceanic kind of world, but her doubts were silenced when she stumbled onto land, a big continent with numerous mountain ranges and the potential to become something beautiful in the future... Then she realized this was in fact the same land on which the Oasis was located, and that she'd just gone around the world because she went the wrong way.

Still, this wasn't what she was looking for, no. In order to ensure that this world met with a more... Enjoyable fate than her last, setting up in large landmasses was undesirable.

Or maybe not. The more she explored the mountain ranges and saw the valleys and crevasses, the more she realized that there were quite a few spots good enough to start setting up in. Besides, while being in a large continent like this made sure that you'd eventually have to deal with sentient beings stumbling into your territory, it also meant you'd have a lot of options in the department of 'places to run off to when your house has been found by a mob of angry, scared people'.

So yeah. While she'd love for her little resorts and get-aways from life to be secluded, surrounded by ocean, it was true that being on an island prevented your escape as much as it made invasions difficult.

Of course, when she found a valley surrounded on all sides by steep mountains and whose only entrance was a crevasse between two of such mountains,she knew she'd hit the jackpot. Giddy, she planted some seeds borrowed from her Brother's forest along the valley and made sure they'd grow in the different, colder temperature, then she accelerated the growth of grass, planted her various flowers all across the valley and added a healthy dose of Squiggles.

Eventually, a proper valley had been created. Still, she was no Goddess of Creation or Building. She wasn't particularly creative either, so when the time came to actually build something that deviated from what her family had already created, she started to struggle. After hours of trying to build some kind of home at the foot of one of the mountains, her results showed her lack of ability.

A simple cabin stood alone in the valley. And while it certainly wasn't magnificent, she made sure it was functional. She made sure to include a small storage area for food and another for miscellaneous things such as wood. She also added a bedroom in the attic and worked some of her magic on the structure, ensuring a sound and safe infrastructure and that the inside was always at a comfortable temperature.

When everything was done, she walked out of the cabin, sat down on a nearby boulder and looked it over with a placid smile. After a while, she brought her palm up and created a small figure of a man with pure light. The figure seemed to run and jump and dance on her hand before disappearing. She kissed her palm.

"I can't wait to meet the mortals, I bet they're going to be very pleasant this time around..." She said softly before bringing her knees up to her chest - a somewhat awkward movement, considering her armor - and resting her hear on the tips of her knees. Soon, she'd closed her eyes and began waiting for time to pass. There wasn't much to do while her family was out and about being their creative selves.

Summary

Aella flies out onto the ocean for a long time, then reaches a continent and realizes it's the same one everyone started in, she'd just flown the wrong way and ended up going around the world.

She finds a valley surrounded by steep mountains and only one entrace, which happens to be a very narrow crevasse. She proceed to fill the valley with tree similar to the forest's near the Oasis, as well as the flowers she created and a bunch of Squiggles.

She builds a small, cozy cabin in said valley, preparing it as a small getaway spot for when she wants to give mortals a vacation from their day-to-day lives.

Might Summary

MP=3
Miracles=2

Used 1 Miracle to accelerate the growth of the Valley's vegetation.
Used 1 Miracle to put a healthy population of Squiggles in the Valley.
Used nothing to create the cabin. It's a very average place, with the only magical things being the slightly safer infrastructure and the comfortable-temperature indoors.

Remaining
MP=3
Miracles=0

Acts of creation 2/2
Level up to 2

Godspeed!

*cracks knuckles*

NOW we have birthed every god.

It's Lei time.

@Antarctic Termite

Is it time for the turn-mobile to rev up???

I might wanna accelerate a post using up 2 more miracles if so!

Godspeed!

Y'all mind if I got ahead and make Gremju the sole reason for madness exisiting in mortals?

and a wee bit extra for my schemes later

@Pyromaniacwolf

I don't mind it myself. What does the madness involve, though? Bipolar stuff, multiple personality thingies, OCD, depression? All that jazz? Does it include phobias?

Godspeed!

@Frettzo Are you sure you want to spend a whole Might point on Squiggles? You could totally get away with making them for a free point Miracle, or two if you do one for their plant aspect and one for their animal aspect.

@Antarctic Termite

Oh! I hadn't thought of that, dang. I'll edit that in, no one will realize! That brings my acts of creation down to 1 right? cause of the saved MP
