Gods and Mortals II

Across the Omniverse, multiverses live and die all of the time.  Within these multiverses, universes are being born and dying as well.  Within these universes, exists creation, and the vast stage of gods and mortals working their way through their lives.  At one such point, a diety by the name of 'the Wandering Light' gathered enough power to be able to shape its own universe.  Time will tell if this will be a lasting thing, or if events will spiral out of control and wind up cutting its lifetime short, or even if something supposedly hidden and destroyed will come back into existence...Probably not...Hopefully not...

((Sorry about being late - I was asleep again... Also, you have a typo in the OP - it's called "the Wandering Light".))

In its own time, it came to the place of emptiness - the plane that was not. There, nothing strived and nothing lived. It cast a challenging stare into the void and swore to unmake it, beginning its greatest work yet - in scale at least.

It let out a collosal breath, such as only gods can, and its breath was Aether.  It filled the void, and the void was no more.

Then the Wanderer swung its staff through this Aether, compressing part of it into Terra Firma, the bottom line of all reality as it would exist in this universe, a layer of infinitely hard ground below the Aether that filled the universe.

There it waited for the others to come into being, and in its waiting trod an infinite number of roads into the Terra Firma as it paced back and forth across this universe without end.

Expend an Ultimate Act to create the universe as stated above: an infinite layer of Aether, an infinite plane of soil below, and the roads on that plane.

Book 1: Before Mortality
Chapter 1: Creation

Before the beginning of the universe, there was the chaotic, untamed void of power that surrounds all universes.  From this power, the Creator used its power to tame the void, control it, and shield it from the destruction beyond.  The Creator then wandered the universe it had created, and saw that it was empty.

So, the Creator decided to fill the universe with its breath, creating the infinite expanse of Aetherius above us, and shaped the void into the ground below.  On the ground, the Creator made the vast Stone Network which connects every city in the world.

There was one thing that was not considered.  While the Creator eluded light from its being, the areas distant from it were shadowed in perpetual darkness unless visited by the Creator.  Also, the Creator did not have any life existing in the universe at that time.  Then, two entered the Universe.  Havoc, the Light of Madness and Wolf, the Caretaker...

And so the Light stood on the Terra Firma, and looked up into the empty expanse of Aether above it. This glaring emptiness reminded it of the void it swore to bring down.

Seized by sudden wrath, it stomped its foot on the ground with such force that pieces of it detached and flew up into the Aether, and there it suspended them to spite the void that it sought to defeat. Thrice it brought its foot down, and three is the number of pieces that were broken off.

Its rage passed, and it looked upon them delighted. It named them planets, "wanderers" - after itself.

Expend the necessary quantity of Mighty Acts to create three planets floating in the Aether above the Terra Firma.

[4maskwolf]

Seeing the great planets the Light had created, The Caretaker extended his arm and threw his great staff towards the largest of the planets.  Where the staff struck the ground, a mighty tree grew, extending into the aether above.  From the point of impact, great trees, though none so great as the World Tree, began to radiate outwards, rivers began to flow, and mountains grew up a ring around the great tree, leaving a massive valley surrounding the world tree, cut off from the rest of the world by the mountains.  Within a short time, great forests had spread throughout the world, but the greatest was that of the Valley of the World Tree.

The Caretaker looked upon his creation and saw that it was good.  He breathed life into the trees of the Valley of the World Tree, and they began to move on their own initiative.  In this way, he created the treants, a race of holy guardians of the mighty World Tree.

Expend my Forest Mighty Act to reshape the planet in the way that is described above, then an unbound act to create Treants.

[PrivateNomad]

A mass of the chaotic energies of the universe congealed together with a sly grin spread across it. Taking sight of the smallest planet, chaotic energies swirled into it and manifested itself into the world as specters began to spread throughout it as the chaotic mist dissipates. The clouds grew a dark-purple color and swirled around the planet's skies as it surged with storms of powerful chaos energy, striking points of the planet's surface where eerie fogs were created and specters roamed about further.

The Light of Madness swirled about the world with laughter, taking in the glorious site of his work.

Spend Mighty Act to transform planet and then use an unbound act to create Specters.

Book 1: Before Mortality
Chapter 2: The Reshaping

When the Creator looked up towards the infinitive Aether, it gazed upon it with disdain.  The emptiness only reminded the god of what had been before the universe.  In anger, the Creator slammed the ground many times, launching up massive amounts of earth to form the three Wanderers.  The world left after the impacts was different than before.  Sections of the vast network were launched up to the planets above and formed other networks.  Other portions were shattered, unable to withstand the strength of a Creator God.  Most did remain, but the terrain that those sections did go through was vastly different.  Many of the vast valleys and mountains that you can still see were formed at that time, with the three greatest valleys forming under the impact of the Creators strikes upon the ground.

At this time, the universe was still lifeless.  From the plane, the Wolf looked upon the largest of the planets, and raised his great staff.  It was thrown upwards, impacting the greatest of the three wanderers.  From the striking of the staff, a vast valley was formed, ringed with the highest mountains, as the Grand World Tree began to grow from the staff, its height known only by the gods.  From this tree and its roots that stretched across the world, further trees grew and water began to flow from its roots.  The god then went into the valley, and used its power upon the smaller trees that had grown near the World Tree to have them become mobile, creating the first of the Treants.

Upon another of the wanderers, the smallest one, another force, the Light of Madness used its power.  A multicolored fog descended over the entirety of the planet, obscuring the surface utterly.  In this place, the Light created its servants, the powerful Spectres, as purple clouds coasted through the planet's skies, randomly causing storms of chaos to strike down into the mists below.

As the gods looked upon their works, beings even more ancient than the Creator entered.  Thuellos, The Oncoming storm, Virumlix, the Jaded and Raven, the Trickster...

The Caretaker looked upon the vast world, examining it.  For all of its verdant splendor, there was something it was lacking, something that it needed.  He pondered long on this, and finally realized what the world was missing.
It needed more life.
For despite all of the lush forests and plant life, and the great Treants that guarded the world tree, the world needed something that could live of their own accord, learn, grow, die.  For the immortal treants were none of those things, unless they were struck down by the hand of another being.
He pondered longer still as to the shape of these beings.  He had created many beings in his eternity, but there was one that stood out, the race that had spawned him, the race that embodied who he was.
He stretched his hands out through the world, and beyond the mountain ranges, away from the world tree, he shape a race in his own image, a race that could exist on its own.  To assist them in their lives, he bestowed upon the fledgling race the knowledge of the woodlands, of which plants were edible and which not, of the ways of the forest.
But even then, he felt that the world was not complete.  So he reached forth and created the creatures of the wilderness, and gave to the elves the knowledge of these creatures, in hopes that they could live in harmony.  Then, momentarily satisfied, he retreated to watch his new creation.
Use a forest act to create elves, split a forest act into three forest minor acts and use two of them to bestow the knowledge of woodland plants and animals.  Also use my last forest act to create forest animals, leaving me with three unbound acts and a forest minor act.

Virumlix felt lonely, it had been forever since his banishment, he had lost count of the days he spent wandering the lonely, dark, void. But then... a certain feeling consumed him, he sensed something, he felt the sense of life. Intrigued Virumlix went towards the sense, he was done being alone. Soon, after moving for the longest time, he breached a dark bubble, for there was no light, beyond some small purple storms in the distance. This mystified Virumlix, he felt the thoughts of other gods, this reminded him of his past, with the warlike malice other creatures had. But Virumlix needed to see, and he had the power left over from wandering in the lonely dark to create light. But now was not the time he had to see what the other gods were doing.

Observe.

[Avis-Mergulus]

And so the Light observed the three valleys it had made, and a plan took root in its mind. Standing in the greatest of valleys below the largest wanderer, it bared its knife, It-That-Bites, and drew it across its hand.

Its blood rushed out in a flood of water that filled the three valleys, so that the planets were reflected in the three new Great Seas.

Above their waters it then sat and pondered the next step of its grand work.


Expend an appropriate Act to create the three Great Seas below each of the planets.

[PrivateNomad]

   The Light of Madness looked down at his creation disappointingly as if it were missing something important. The manifestation of chaos wriggled until a swirl of dark-purple energy further shrouded the planet yet again--the specters became more animated as the god bestowed sentient knowledge upon them so that they may build and prosper in the world of madness. He slashed his arm upwards, causing eerie dead trees to erect out the ground and then stomped his foot, causing the ground to shake and tear apart; canyons and mountains were then formed. With a final swipe, he infused the earth of the planet with chaotic ore so that his specters may use it to create tools from.
    The specters rejoiced as this influx of knowledge washed over them--they began to band together and explore the planet, naming it Discord.

Expend the proper number of acts to give specters sentient knowledge, create forests, create mountains, create canyons, and infusing the earth of Discord with chaotic ore.

[4maskwolf]

When Wolf had finished his creation, he looked upon the world and saw that the trees were failing.  He had expended his power too much to create a source of light for them, so he found the wanderer and pleaded with him to create a light, one that could see his precious trees through until the end of eternity.

[HissinhWalnuts]

Virumlix observed the actions of these other gods, they seemed peaceful, unlike the monsters he had encountered before. He considered making a light source, but his power was in adequate. But who said it had to be a large light source, why not one just big enough? Who even said one, why not many? And so Virumlix channeled his powers, and started creating large, d20 like crystals. He enchanted these crystals to slowly reproduce from gathering inert energy available in the universe. But they were luminous, Creating sun like light for several miles around, until they eventually moved away. They would be titled Luminox, and would spread light to where it was needed.

Create the Luminox crystals with 3 unbound acts.
