Dragnar sends a librarian to aid Akkataromondamia.One question each day shall be allowed, perhaps a second in an emergency, but never more.
Two acts
He grants souls to many insects, but draws too heavily upon the finite supply of souls, creating a net shortage. For a few turns, there will be a chance for any sentient , soulbearing creatures born to not have a soul, which can have manifold effects (i.e. make up your own, I don't want to confine y'all.) Feel free to have adventurers, avatars etc. try to 'rectify' the situation (i.e. kill soulbugs on a planetary scale), but be sure to describe how they get over the mind-destroying, bone-shaking buzz experienced by anyone on or in the planet.
It is made of a very strong red metal. Its thickness is half the radius of a planet. The distance between Chara and its shell is on the lower bound of the radius a planet would orbit at.
big, gaping marble halls with a marble table in the middle. On that table is an everlasting candle. I then light these candles using my own body.
A planet roughly the size of Incendium, and looking eerily similar. The planet is only consisting of rocks, all kinds of metal (making up most of the planet) and lava streams.
Semi-sentient Humanoids out of metal, with an affection for smithing. (They will perform any order i give them, even if it would meant the destruction of them etc. They also have no emotions. They need food nor water.)The Ironborn shall be led by some of Gheronatons Firstborn- They shall labor day and night to create armors and weapons for his soldiers- Made of Iron and better metals.
Only one mining/furnace 'complex' has been created.
(As this is no creation or similar, but an order, it doesn't take an act. Rather, you will see the results soon.)
Aeria takes the sword created by Dragnar, and she enters the dungeon that leads to Dragnar's library.Luna creates a harmless version of the white curse and spreads it over Aether, to make the elves immune to the plague.Luna creates the Aether dragons.They are made of crystal, and their souls were drawn from the earlier myriad spirits that came together in the mountains on Aether
(I'm not sure whether it was Aether or the plate where you placed it, but I assumed it were the plates, as you're mostly concerned with those.)
Aarrook creates the Amulet of Cures, which will cure any ailment, from disease to insanity, within ten feet. He places said amulet around Poena's neck while she sleeps. Two acts, as that is a
very powerful artifact.
The Chained God saves its actsAlex picks up all the elves and dwarves on the plates planet and puts them into their respective Altars.
Alex creates an infinite supply of food for the elves and dwarfs.
A second council of the Gods has been called.
Gheronaton orders the Ironborn to create an armor for Poena. (This takes no acts, as it is an order, and not a magical item (yet?).)
It will be fitted to her body and made of iron with splendid ornaments of gold and gems.
-- No acts.
Coradin blesses Poena with a great eye and sharp senses.Aerie is affected by Astra'ath's calls.Humaan grants new life to the soul of Poena's brother. (This is take an act, as you're actually reviving a demigod here. Still, it's a demigod that never developed any godly powers. If he had, it'd take even more acts.)
Satae stores her actsChaos, confusion and alarm. Xarn had by long been awake. He was there when Ferraria was created, which followed Incendium in its tracks around the black sun. He noticed Galts planet of insects, a place where souls waited to return to better shells, but which' creation drew faster from the souls the essence could provide than the rate at which it could provide, causing soulless creatures to be born every now and then, which remained emotionless and sometimes even motionless until a soul found its way into them. His eyes were drawn to Chara, and the overgod pondered what it would become. There had been many problems, ranging from the white curse, which slaughtered many elves, to the fallen guardians, which were eventually punished for their attack on Coradin's palace. The white curse had been healed by making use of the immunity a creature was granted after surviving it, and elves now roamed one of the plate worlds. He was also struck by a vision of the universe, imploding, with himself being destroyed at the end, absorbed by the void, and something even darker. He shrugged it off him, used to nightmares and horrible visions.
There was also the situation of Astra'ath, fighting the barrier between the Essence and the universe. Xarn was confident that the barrier would hold-
He was wrong.Poena granted the Chained God an honestly meant smile, then turning towards the soul she was instructed to touch.The moment she touched it, the barrier keeping out Astra'ath and the other Gods shattered. Not only Astra'ath, but Palad'in and Anacraeon came through. Forcing its way through the barrier had drained Astra'ath, but the fear of the Gods themselves fueled the creature, allowing it to stay in the universe. It was hurled in one of the outskirts, unseen, unnoticed. The two Gods that quickly made their way through afterwards weren't as drained, although the barrier stole energy of them as well, quickly repairing itself not that it wasn't assaulted anymore. The weak point disappeared, closing behind them.In the Council, Poena wept. No God had yet noticed the entrance of the God they all feared. Poena held her brother, who was reborn as a baby, in her arms, smiling at it.
The baby was as dark as the Chained God, a humanoid baby with scales as dark as the void itself, ever-shifting. His eyes glowed with a soft light, resembling those of the Emperor of Chains. Slowly, Poena looked up, taking a step towards The Watcher in Darkness. She hesitated for a moment, but then pushed aside all doubts, offering the Chained God to hold the baby. "It- It is clear that he is a baby created to your image.. I- I think that you should raise my brother, while-" She paused, turning her face to the ground for a moment. "While I accept to help you, if I can do so at all, defeat the creature that is called Astra'ath. I- I trust you will do well. Name my brother, please.."Xarn was once more surprised by the events. He had indeed foreseen what his children would look like, even that they would be different in many ways, but no, never did he expect his daughter to help her brother back into life after he was killed. He turned away, drifting back to Xarn's fist, which started to shine its light once more at the Refuge.Ferraria follows the same orbital track as Incendium.Galt's planet of insects orbits Elan.Astra'ath enters the Universe.He has gotten no acts yet, using all his strength to enter the universe.
All the effects he had had on mortals until now have halted, the areas he had influenced once more quiet.
They have gotten only one act each, having lost part to entering the universe.
The baby is as dark as the Chained God, a humanoid baby with scales as dark as the void itself, ever-shifting. His eyes glow with a soft light, resembling those of the Emperor of Chains on the moment it felt some sort of compassion.
Soul Confusion
Sometimes creatures are born soulless, none have got emotions, some even die to it at birth.
After time, a soul might enter them, turning them into (mostly) normal persons/creatures.
