Gods of a New Star [IC]

[Smiley_]

Ikassi

As the gods settled their buisnesses, the Spire called out to several individuals across the land. A protoss warrior from the far north, an Ensirex from the corrupted lands, and an ogre from the southwestern mountains.

Only a couple of Myrmici were called from the many that followed the way of the self.

The choice of whether someone comes to be transformed into an earth warden is up to the god they worship. The Ensirex may be alive or undead and the Protoss may be from either Aiur or Shakuras. They will continue to worship the same gods as before.

[Fan]

A Dark Templar smith in the north by the name of Zeratul heard the call of the spire, and began to make prepartions to leave for this new spire, and attain new hieghts of power.. thus he gathered his possesions, packed a cart, and after loading it with supplies set out to the spire.

Cellis

To the Protoss king

would you like to speak to her now? or at a later date, the scribes will make note of it if it's the later.

[Fan]

I"If at all possible i would like to see the Queen now I will of coruse dismiss the Twilight Archons in honor of a personal meeting."

[puppyavenger]

Cellis

Of course, the diplomat will lead them out, as the Queen has her own interpreters. A small, brightly colored worker runs up to the king, speaking in somewhat hard to understand telepathic speech follow me please. He then leads the king through another series of tunnels to a large regal one. In it is the queen, attended by several smaller nimble ants through the guide, it spoke. You wish to discuss trade?

[Fan]

"Amobng other things great queen, I'am the king of the great city of shakuras, and hold a postion in the esteemed Conclave of Auir you have begun to intrude on our territory, and has even begun to encoarch on the great cities outer provinces themselves. Now we understand that your scouts did not see them as the entire city has been vieled by Balider, but we woudl request that you pull back your tunnels, and cese work in the northeast, adn eastern tunnels."

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Gargax

Gargax allowed the Ensirex, a bonecrafter from one of the lesser cities, to heed the call of the Spire. Sixrael was his name, and he was a talented crafter, though he had little skill in the Art.

[puppyavenger]

Cellis

Very well, on the condition that you give us a map of the lands you claim. What do you have to trade?

[Fan]

I"we have amny varieties of ore in addition to advanced harvesting techonolgy beyond anything we have seen the other races posses; we also possess a form of explosives that is greatly used for excavation of mining tunnels by our peoples it is VERY unstable currently, but it does make quite a how the young ones says "bang"."

[Ipphli]

Cyrus

Cyrus nods. Considering what Ikeemis has said, he returns to his sanctuary. He sits and ponders all that has happened since he and his brethern arived on this new world. Remembering what happened at the last world, Cyrus realizes that eventually the peace will fail and the world will fall to conflict again. In order to better protect his people, Cyrus begins teaching his people to focus more on stamina.

Meanwhile, a young ogre, an apprentice blacksmith named Damek, feels the call to the spire. And so, packing his few meager belongings, he heads towards the spire.

Taking the Endurance domain

Cellis

Very well, we'd love to buy some of the excavating tools and explosives, perhaps we could test them for you? what would you like in return?


elsewhere....

Celis appeared in the middle of a remote colony of ants. Using his crown, he weaved their minds together, while leaving their souls separate, and sent them to the nearest beach and into the ocean.


Appearing In the Valley,h e looked around, he knew of the threat that this world would face, and so he must defend the core of the Enlightened. He weaved the mind into an almost physical force around the Valley, anyone who cam in without the Mind specific permission and concentration would be subsumed, down to the last insect. The field would grow as the mind became more powerful. albeit slowly and gradually .

major act obviously, paranoia!

[Fan]

The Protoos looked to the right, adn then to the left, and said.
"well, what can you offer us?"

[ArlEammon]

Saradinus

Once again.... Saradinus begins to weave his power over the capital of Tekia. (The island is called Teke, the Republic of the Island is called Tekia.) All those born in the capital, called Chrysalis would be born with stronger magical talent. (Minor God act)

[Smiley_]

Ikassi

Zeratul, Damek, and Sixrael made their way to the great Spire. A projection of the earth goddess sat at the base of the monolith wearing the same coarse robe decorated with colored glass she normally wore. Without moving she spoke to the three.

All came...most excellent. Discard your vestments, you will not need them. As you are here, you be brought to and past your physical and mental limits.

This...pilgrimage is only possible by a select few. You will become guardians of your respective realms, protecting people and land alike.

Suddenly she stood up and shed her robe. Wearing very little over her chitinous carapace, she spoke again.

Over the next few months you will experience pain and cleansing like you have never felt before. You're flesh will be rent from your soul. Once you have started, there is no turning back.

When the three were not training in the Myrmici style of unarmed fighting, they were either meditating or listening to the great monolith trying to make sense of it. Ikassi encouraged discussions, questioning the beliefs the three held most dear. They were given very little water and food while doing so, and what little they were given, they were forced to hunt or search for.

Slowly, they became stronger, their wit sharpened and their souls hardened. When at their breaking points, they seemed to defy death itself. They seemed empowered by the starmetal edifice in the center of the desert and it's shrieking.

The head splitting noises, over time, began to sound more melodious and orderly. Ikassi smiled. They were coming along well.

I am going to wait for a few more posts from others before returning them to their people.

[ArlEammon]

Saradinus

Saradinus ordered that all in the largest Academy leave the premises for a momentary time. Myrokhan, the avatar entered within the hallowed halls of their sacred institution. The chanting, chanting, chanting, chanting of Academy of Chrysalis became louder and louder until some of the people of the city thought about leaving until it was over. When all was said and one Saradinus was finally finished with his continued chanting.
Major Act: Academy domain...

[Emperor Demonking]

Illopet

Illopet felt that important news could not travel fast enough. He also felt that important people could not move fast enough. He did not want to create something mundane like a cart and so he created eagles that could become giant eagles.

These eagles were sentient and lived to dspread information and to allow others to travel.

Three major creations left

[Lord_Asmodeus]

Gargax

Gargax looked around slowly at the creeping corruption at the land, the howling beasts of the forest and his favored Ensirex, the rebellions had been quelled, his people were harder for it, and his Changed were stronger. He looked upon the corruption and knew he had wrought something purely of himself. With this thought, he reached down to the land, his hand a great shadow of nothingness, and took the corruption into himself. He then grasped the handle of the Dagger, and let the dark power held sacred within it, shrieking souls wailing all about him, music to his hears and those Ensirex blessed enough to hear it, become one with his being.

Major Act, gain the Corruption domain

------

With small cults in many of Cyrus's towns, Ocogoiks could feel the power granted to him. He spread his magnificent golden wings, their upside-down span no less fantastic, and he was pleased. A small number of his worshipers had been turned into the Changed, all assuming forms similar to his. They were the Stewards, the Nobles, of the Silver City, and he was their Prince. Ocogoiks turned his featureless platinum head toward the city of Cyrus, and then turned it down to his worshipers. My Silver Children, you must spread my message farther in this city, go and spread my word. Soon we shall take my message to the other cities, and unite our brothers in the glory of the Silvery Word And with that he left them to spread his word further.

[Kaiser Omnik]

All the gods that didn't have an ancestral relic before have acquired one since then.
One was found in the deep woods by worshippers of Lupin.
Illopet stumbled upon one on his travels.
The giant ants uncovered a relic while tunneling.
The protoss found one in the North, encased in ice.
The Ensirex uncovered theirs deep in the mountains.
The wizards of Tekia found another after scrying on their island.
One more emerged intact from the lava in the territory of the Ashenborn.

[Emperor Demonking]

Illopet

When he found the item. "What a facinating thing. I wonder what I could do with this."

Illopet sent a message to all his ogres. The great Illopet was interested in what races he should create and what artifact he should create. The designer would be escorted personally to the afterlife.

Illopet also sent 10 ogres on giant eagles to Cyric's lands to teach them how to travel.

[Fan]

The lone Protoss explorer by the name of Tassadar who had found the artifact in the ice was astounded at its magnificence, and after he had broken enough ice to retrieve something magnificent happened.

The ice around it began to crack then seconds later it shattered, and tassadar would have been killed if not for the psionic shield he put up as he saw a huge block of ice come at him when he finally opened his eyes, and let down his shield he saw a massive temple before him with high golden spires. and a massive door engraved with many murals. "I can't believe all this weas hidden beneath the great ice mountian....."

Being a god fearing man Tassadar uttered a short prayer before running back to town with the artifact, and demanding a meeting with the High Conclave, and due to him bringng back a sacred artifact this he was granted, and in this meeting he told the Conclave of the massive temple hidden underneath Ice mountain, and of its beauty.

Yeah it does.

[Emperor Demonking]

Illopet

Illopet sent an avatar into the middle of the sea, that avatar spoke, trying to contact Calamity. "I would like to speak to you."

Illopet sent an ogre with a giant eagle to the volcanoes. Their he would write a treatise on how to travel with the great volcanoes.

[Kaiser Omnik]

To Illopet

A whirlwool formed in the sea.

"Another god wishing to speak to me? What do you want?"

[puppyavenger]

Cellis

Appearing at a remote plain, an avatar of Cellis Called Ethorynce(sp) saying I have some rather important information you might be interested in.

Looking at the relic, after picking it from the dead workers, he considered what to change it into, this would take some thought

[Emperor Demonking]

Illopet

"I wish to speak to you. Are you new to this world? I was new here not long ago myself." Said Illopet.

I think its already an artifact you just need to make it into something you would want with like a minor act or soemthing.... also I'm going to make mine into a power generator to produce wha the Protoss have dubbed Kalla. it will power the first of my "zealots" pwoer armors
[/spioiler]
Fortuantely for Tassadar before he had found the artifact Balider had been watching out for him, and when he saw the relic he knew it would slay any mortal on sight, and thus he shaped it into a psionic focus crystal unlike any in creation to save on of his choosen h then split it into 2 so that no one being would wield its immense power.

major act to create the twin shards of the Xel'Nagga from the relci.
[/spoiler]
The conclave considered the things he had brought them, 2 small crystals that in itself generated immeasurable power, and focused that of others to the point that upon contact with one of the highest members of blade was formed from his ambient psionic energy.
After a moment of consideration the High concalve sent out messagengers requesting a scholar from each race to come, and investigate this new temple.

[Kaiser Omnik]

To Illopet

"I certainly am not. I am as ancient as the stars. I am the tidal wave, I am the storm. I am the mother of all the species of the sea. I am the ultimate predator. Who are you exactly?"

[puppyavenger]

Cellis

[what about the whole ant colony thing?]

a giant ant walks into Auir, speaking telepathically to the guards WE are the Enlightened, we responded to your summons.

[Emperor Demonking]

Illopet

Illopet sent one of his ogres to explore the new temple. The ogre wasn't a great scholar but then again none of Illopet's ogres were. This ogre was one of the smartest though.

Calamity, "I am sorry if I offended. I am the lord of travel, more specificly the travel of souls to the afterlife."
