"The world is only centuries old now. You know, I wonder if Ascension causes amnesia in mortals..."
Illopet
"What has happened in the world, any events? What has been created in the world? What and who are the other gods? What happens to the souls of mortals?" Asked Illopet needing to get all the information.
"An alliance will do me just fine; I didn't really see anything here that I liked anyhow. So then, now that we're allied, here's hoping that our two colonies will flourish and thrive together. Now, I must be off to see more colonies and how everyone else's doing. Goodbye, ally."
Grinning once more at his 'speech', Lupin headed out the door to go back to his own domain for a little rest.
"What has happened in the world, any events? What has been created in the world? What and who are the other gods? What happens to the souls of mortals?" Asked Illopet needing to get all the information.
"The mortals go to the gods of death. The other things you mentioned are very complicated. Gods have started their own nations and shepherd their people."
After some time he returned to his ashenborn. Over time they have constructed large towers able to withstand the heat and destruction cause by the volcanoes. The race had grown strong in numbers and in supplies. They were becoming a more suitable race to have reigned by him. He was able to clearly see his smaller avatar assisting the ashenborn in forming there ways of life. Facilities were constructed to train them in the art of battle. Schools devoted to some of the more destructive magics were built. The race was flourishing. They had reached a point where he could entrst a leader.
His previous avatar crumbled and up rose his larger form. In front of him stood a follower far superior to the others. His name was Rexgen and he had been the most prominent fighters in the city. Ahhh, Rexgen. It is I, Mavil. I have chosen you to become the first leader of this race. For many generations your family shall be blessed and rule a stronger more superior kingdom than any other. I grant you this, the gem of blinding destruction. It shall be passed down to your first son to recieve power. Be cautious though. Learn to destroy with this power everything but what you stand for.
With that he pulled and bright glowing gem. It glowed a deep red. He handed it over to Rexgen. As soon as he touched it, you can see a surge of power rush through him. With this the race has officially been trusted to start acting out his goals.

Meanwhile, Saradinus continued teaching the magicians of the island of Teke even more. Myrokhan joined as they continued to guide many conjurors in the way of Conjuration. (Minor Godly Act)At the same time, the people began to gradually refine their system of education to include more summoning.
Baldier gazed upon his peoples, and saw the wonders that the blessing of the god of craft had granted them. They were progressing more, and more each day the twin crystals powering this infulx of knowldge the Dark nexus granting them intellegence, and inspiration, adn the Holy Nexus granting them wisdom, and the will to presue their intentions. yes things were looking quite well for the Protoss, and they had hnored their anrrangement with the peoples of Saradinus, and had been supplying them with a steady flow of the slightly out of date versions of their technology, and Baldier beinga god of stealth in addition to psionics had vieled their tech to look exactly liek that of the kind they were sending. (minor godly act for sme illusions that correspond to my domain.)
"We could build a trading post together on the coast, near your valley. We have plenty to offer: minerals, tools, machines, medicines... Perhaps you are also interested in grafts?"

OOC: I will give you their location in PM.

"The mortals go to the gods of death. The other things you mentioned are very complicated. Gods have started their own nations and shepherd their people."
Illopet
"Thank you for your help. It has been appreciated." Said Illopet as he thought of a way to make souls feel better between the time of their death and when they went to the afterlife, for this purpose Illopet created the Valkyries, creatures that could sense death and control souls.
We would be interested in the armor, and what properties does the staff have?
To Alrinach
Walking forwards, he spoke to he clockwork man.
We have a proposal for you, now, as an ordered god, you must have laws yes, and as a diety ruling over a fractured people, there are people who brake these laws, correct? sme of the laws are so important that the punishment for breaking them is containment for the duration of there life, or the ending of it, good so far?
We meanwhile, have a manpower shortage, and believe that relaying messages would cost too much energy and be too inefficient to be worth the cost. As such, perhaps we could save you the cos of incarceration of public executions, we will subsume the deadly fracturing ones. In exchange, the bodies would provide free labor for the city for the first two years in service, and one quarter of them will stay and assist in civic projects and serve as ambassadors .
To the protoss delegate
What would you lke for the plans or one of them, whichever is cheaper, motioning towards the grain harvester.
In the mountains
To Abaraxys
A trading post sounds excellent, grafts sound interesting, and I'm sure the Enlightened would love to emulate and develop he idea, what would yo liek in exchange?
That night, rocks fell from the heavens into the Myrmici Desert, the Great Wood and in the barren North (4,8 and 4,10 on the map). Fortunately, they didn't cause any serious damage. The rocks contained a blue ore of extraordinary strength and hardness, known as "star metal".

Upon seeing the meteors fall into his woods, upon closer examination Lupin was shocked to find the mysterious metal inside.
"Bah, what's that wyrm thing doing sending metal into my domain? What would I want with metal, after all?"
After briefly being annoyed, Lupin starts to ponder the situation:
"Hmmm, I don't need any of this, but perhaps there are other gods who'd be interested..."
Concentrating for a moment, Lupin sent out a message to all the gods
"Hello all you stiffs and fun loving deities out there! I, Lupin of The Great Woods, have an offer for you all! If you're interested in some metals that've fallen from the skies, come meet me in my woods with your best offer! Taking all bids!"
She heard the summons of lupin, but ignored him. She had her own starmetal to worry about. One stone, she purified so that it shone with a brilliant luster that could not be matched by mortal smiths. This she put in the temple of the Twilight Goddess on the altar. For the rest of this "starmetal, she hid it underground to see if it was possible to replicate it. Growing metal was simple enough for her if she had a sample, though it would take time to grow. It was a similar process to keeping the mountains around the Twilight city rich with Iron and Copper.
This was an unexpected gift. She would use it. Later though.
"I've got no clue, but it's from space so it's got to have some special qualities about it. Since we're allies, I'll let you have a small chunk to have a look at."
Grinning, Lupin picks up one of the small meteors from the pile he's collected and hands it to Cellis.
"Have a look at that and who knows? Maybe you'll come back wanting the whole lot."
Cyrus appeared next to Lupin. He smiles and bows his head to him in greetings. "Greetings brother. I hear you have some metal to offer? Might I see some of it?"
Looking it over, Cyrus hides his curiousity of it. He looks at Lupin, then over at Cellis. He shrugs. "And what might the god of animals wish of the god of crafts in exchange for this metal?"

Deciding to ignore the call of Lupin Mavil heads to where he believes another stone has fallen (4,10). He arrives there and finds the metal. He picks it ups and returns to his domain. There he gives some of the metal to the ashenborn through his avatar and keeps some for himself. He wwatches as the ashenborn get to work make weapons worth much more than that of normal weapons. He decides from the rest of the metal he shall make a weapon blessed with his power.

At the same time, revolts occur in several regions: in ogre lands (3,3), in the underground cities of the dark elves (5,7) and in the island of Teke (10,7). The rebels launch attacks simultaneously on temples, administrative buildings and magical academies. Their goal is simple: free themselves from what they consider false gods.

Feeling the disturbance in his lands, Cyrus nods a hasty good-bye to Lupin and returns to his lands. Outraged at the audacity of some of HIS people, to turn their backs on HIM! With a sweep of his hand, he causes the runes they use to dissolve, their weapons and armor to break or rust. After this, his loyalists have no problem restoring order.
Troubled by what has occurred, Cyrus sends an avatar down to speak to the people and assure them that Cyrus does look after them. After all, aren't their creations the most wonderous on the planet? Do they not have plenty of everything they could need or want?
The rebels were imprisoned and reconditioned; most of them had gone along by fear or had been caught up in it all. The ringleaders were executed. Those that refused to accept Cyrus as their god were given two choices: slavery or execution. Being a proud people, most of them choose execution.

The Ensirex responds to the Hive-minds question: "This staff is inscribed with runes of necromantic and death magics, but we can provide staffs with specified magics, or if you wish we could, in trade for some service of yours, teach you how to craft bones yourself.

Wandering time-shifters watched the star metal fall from the sky and went to investigate it. They found that they wanted wanted and so they loaded it into wagons to bring back to their small village to see what it could do.

and in the island of Teke (10,7). The rebels launch attacks simultaneously on temples, administrative buildings and magical academies. Their goal is simple: free themselves from what they consider false gods.
The Archconjurors of the land, guided by Myrokhan and Saradinus himself, carry out the defense. At the same time, Myrokhan, the avatar defended the Highest Academies, and the Supernalists who drew power from Saradinus'es mind were sent to deal with the insurgency to communicate to the people the reality of Saradinus'es existence.
Supernalists had the power to convey Saradinus'es thoughts through their magic, and were scattered throughout the land to quell the invasion.
Illopet sent an avatar at the island of Teke during battle and watched the deaths with a smile on his face. He looked at the souls and was tempted to keep them but no. He had more importanty things to do. Illopet yelled "Does anybody here need a hand."
Illopet also sent an avatar to Lupin. "I do not want much. How much could I get for 10 ogres?"
Illopet himself went to the baren north in order to collect the starmetal from their and to take it back to his own ogres.
