The winds calmed down a little and a portal of still air opened respectfully for the old gardener.Lyah, the ribbon still wrapped around her hand, took the hand of her father and followed him trough.Behind them the winds whipped up once again. The bard, the thief and the herder stood in the eye of the storm still. A wide array of notes came from a single bell dancing in the twister.A new tune played around them. This time they knew the words that accompanied them. Strangely it was a song that rejected the gods and praised human ingenuity."I know these words!" Misha shouted over the winds. As he spoke the words they echoed trough the winds and amplified over the fields.He looked at the other two with a glimmer in his eyes.

A warm summer breeze was all that Lyah could feel, before her surroundings became more clear. She could hear the sound of birds singing their most beautiful melodies. After the world finally stopped to blur, she saw a garden. Fields of flowers, lying next to golden fields of grains, she also saw an orchard and far in the distance, if she squeezed her eyes together, she could see a wild forest. “Welcome to my garden, my dear. Come sit down,” Tavon spoke, while he let himself fall down on his back on the soft grass. “You must have a lot of questions by now, you can ask away in a moment, but first you might want to hear this.” One of the birds started to sing the message of the god Mawhiti. “Okay what do you want to know first?”

It isn't the speed that is boring me. It is the lack of responses and having nothing to do. I don't feel like I am a part of the storyline.

Create a few more commoners. Maybe base one on the flavor of a god you like. You can also give one a rose, that will certainly attract the attention of one god ;)

Lyah stood petrified at all the information rushing at her.As all the pieces came together and were confirmed with the words She opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by a rough gush of wind that passed around her.Something raced past her ear that made a singe pure high tone. Like a bell.A spinning gale surrounded the group of people and the disguised deity."Hold on!" Misha yelled over the winds as he grabbed Lyah and Tarvin.In the spinning and swirling winds whistling tones could be heard.To the ears of mortals this sounded like aggressively melodic music.To ears of the keeper of the eternal gardens could make out words.The torrent of winds sped up, kicking up dust and leaves high into the air.

"I could do that, but your timing is rather poorly chosen, my friend," Tavon replied. "You should ask Vincus, I am sure he will enjoy that task." Tavon turned again to Lyah, a clear sign this conversation was over. "Are you still willing to come with me for a moment my dear? You are more important than any game the gods have come up with," he spoke with a smile on his face, but his eyes were dead serious. Lyah could clearly hear the words above the wind.

Tarvin felt the wind rushing past him. He listened to the music that drifted inside the gale. A big smile was showing on his face. "This is what freedom feels like," he whispered.

Not at all, I was just confused. In this case, perhaps Tavon can ask Vincus to convince the bard! You're not being difficult at all, if anything you're opening up more RP possibilities.

Was just planning to do that, will reply in a moment

Mine was a mistake, I didn't think of Tavon when I was creating Tarvin. And I can't change his name anymore without creating a whole lot more of confusion.

"I don't see anyone fight, so I don't think you broke anything," Tavon smiled, "Well, except for that few mugs over there, but I think I'll overlook that." He winked at Vincus. "I enjoy a feast as much as they do," Tavon spoke while pointing at the people, "I might even join......" Suddenly Tavon's face got serious. He pushed his hands against his head. "How could I not have seen this. I should have known. I am sorry Vincus, but you will have to excuse me for now. I apparently have a daughter."

akje this happened before Tavon met Lyah. I told so in the OOC.

Not realy, if you want you can begin as a champion of a god.

If you discussed it with the player of that god, yes you probably can. I just meant to say that is makes a way better story if the heroes started as commoners. But are we really going to do premade heroes?

Would someone like to control this hero? I can't have someone serving my god.Name: DeimosFull (real) Name: DeimosAge: 22Appearance: Personality: Brave, cocky, intelligent. Sometimes willing to sacrifice lives for the greater victory. A leader who, if not befriended by his men, is very much respected. He inspires loyalty in his soldiers, and is himself loyal to Arcturius.Alignment: Champion of ArcturiusMorality: Lawful, just, looks to the greater goal, no matter the cost. Avoids civilian casualties when he can.Likes: A good fight, a strong opponent, good cheese, and beef stew.Dislikes: Demons, the gods of destruction and chaos, being drunk, and his twin brother, Phobos.Secrets: Has a twin brother, Phobos, who serves the Dark Legion. Also hides the fact that he was originally from Travels End.Companions (Optional): Commands a mercenary company, 3000 strong.Outfit: Wears a soft leather tunic, covered in a chain mail hauberk while in battle. In combat, he is also equipped in smoked iron greaves and vambraces. He also wears thick leather gloves and boots, in and out of battle. He carries a circular bronze shield, and a steel .Other:

It is quite a cool hero, but that is not how it works. Let heroes be born dynamically in the story.

I disagree with much of the criticism.A torch sounds completely logical for a god of mining, dwarves, etc. (dwarves are often depicted with torches, and a torch is kinda useful when you're underground). This does not necessarily mean you invented the torch, just that it came to symbolize what you stand for (underground).The ability to shape mountains should in no way be out of your reach, although not being able to do it any more and wanting to reclaim it may be a good choice nonetheless. You could even go so far as to have your power be burried somewhere in the mountains of the world, and have the dwarves' original purpose be to dig it up.The elder god part seem irrelevant to me, although I'm fond of the idea that gods come into existence when they are needed. So the crop god was born because crops were being planted, and the god of war was born because people started fighting.Dragon's are nearly as closely linked to mountains as dwarves are, and riches come with their territory. So yes to dragons (also, they officially exist now :D). (question that can be asked is "are they animals, or servitars?" though)On the subject of Vryad and the death domain:I think I will keep half of it in, since I do love the idea of mortals being judged by the deity of bad luck. I'll edit.

Now he changed the post of his god to mining and dwarves, yes the torch is completly logical.

I never said he couldn't be the shaper of mountains. I just said him it might be more interesting to switch focus to dwarves to bring the god closer to the people. I have nothing against the idea that it was he who created the mountains, just as much as Era and Tavon created nature.

I like the idea that everyone was there at least as an energy source, because how can you be a god of this world if you weren't at its creation.

I agree that both dwarves and dragons are linked to mountains, but the connection between dwarves and dragons is rather poor. Look at the movies of "The Hobbit". OR maybe dwarves and dragons coexist in this world. That would be interesting. Then everything would make perfect sense and could be a cool thing to play with.

I don't mind if your god takes care of the lost souls.

Approaching a hooded figure he could sense was more than he made himself appear, he subtly greeted Tavon from under his own hood. “Greetings, my friend.” Saluting him briefly, he then proceeded to stand next to him. “My apologies if I have broken the peace, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t proud of myself…” He said softly, so that only the man he knew was a god could hear him.

"I don't see anyone fight, so I don't think you broke anything," Tavon smiled, "Well, except for that few mugs over there, but I think I'll overlook that." He winked at Vincus. "I enjoy a feast as much as they do," Tavon spoke while pointing at the people, "I might even join......" Suddenly Tavon's face got serious. He pushed his hands against his head. "How could I not have seen this. I should have known. I am sorry Vincus, but you will have to excuse me for now. I apparently have a daughter."
