Terrax was pleased. His people had a home. But they relied upon him, they needed him. That would not do. They should be like the earth, like him, quiet, self-sufficent and at one with nature.

"You shall construct for yourselves farms live off of the earth, and treat it with respect."

He took a twig from the most ancient, hallowed tree of the forest and created a an intricate wand out of it. It would bestow the user with powers like his, the ability to twist the plants as they chose. It was named "Finger of the Earth". He picked the most level-headed, most just, most peacable resident of the village.

You tell your priest of your plans, and place the basic idea of a farm into his mind.
-roll-
He understands in his mind, But is unable to translate the thought to the real world.

You begin transforming the wand, But you feel a much stronger force stopping you. Your very force is turning against you. A multitude of voices whisper into your ear "He is mortal, and mortal he will stay. A God's power is a power only a god can wield" The stick shatters and falls to pieces on the ground.

"Hm. An interesting conclusion. The loss of such bravery is unfortunate, but sometimes sacrifices are the only path to power.

Tell me, child, what you would ask of me, and I shall decide if you are worthy of such a gift."

The child keeps his head down, afraid to look directly at you.

"I wish for the ability to transform my hand into a blade. So I can defend myself and bring you honor."

Waiting Listed

That's what I'm here for

It probably won't be all that late, but if it is, You'll get a decent worship boost so you can do a little bit more miracle wise on your first turn

Garor was angry, no-one had yet the courage to touch the wolf's eyes, That would have to change, but then, they would be right ot fear his wrath, till, he needed more courage, Garor contacted his tribe, appearing in a great shroud of darkness, and said "You are right to fear my wrath, but do not fear the unknown, for it may prove to do you a great boon, not now, but soon, i will provide you with a test to prove your courage, in the mean time, reach for the unkown, for one day your descendants, and maybe even yourelves, will rule an empire that stretches across the world."

With this done Garor flew into a dark secluded place inside the wolf maw and collected all the greatest metals he could find, this would be his tools for making a new weapon, and someday he would make it

The tribals gather around you and hear your speech.
-roll-
The villagers partialy understand and follow you to the Wolf's Maw to figure out it's secrets

I hope this game has a nice long life

((Both Deny and Ruler, You should know that The Wolf's Maw's eyes and this Staff will require either recharging or a constant up-keep of energy. I'll assume you just put a charge on it at the moment, let me know if You want the other.))

(I guess I'll have to take the people near the lake, savanna and grassland)
Lanar looked upon his tribe. They probably should move closer to the lake, he thought. Manifesting in the middle of the village, he told his people to move to the northwest. He also conferred upon one of his priests (the one which was most likely and able to understand his intentions) a staff that appeared to be made out of lightning and would allow the wielder to hurl lightning bolts at the enemies of Lanar's people, but could be held safely by his devout worshippers.

You appear in the middle of your tribe's home and the villagers are immediately drawn towards you. You tell them of what they must do, and they nod in understanding. You then tell the priest to come to you, and he does so without fear. You begin focusing pure energy into your hand and It slowly but surely takes the shape of a staff with a lightning bolt on the top. You infuse it with your remaining energy and offer it to the priest.
-roll-
His nerves fail him, however, and he is unable to take the lightning staff. He instead has a boy no older than 14 come over and pick it up.
-roll-
The boy, eager to prove himself to his tribe and his god, picks up and wields the staff with pride. He looks to you, and you nod at him before returning to the heavens. You slump in your throne, exhausted. You feel greatly drained. Making things out of nothing, you realize, requires a LOT of energy.
