[Demonic Spoon]

Opener of the Heavens and the Earths, Trailblazer of the Way wobbles uncertainly in place, for a few seconds, before murals of a great brass bat ear scrolls across its vast blades, showing the massive aural organ flitting all across creation, listening in on everything, gathering information, allowing it to serve its oracular purpose in answering the questions of the gods.

Propose the creation of the Ear Oracle!

Name: The Ear
Type: Comet-Oracle
Effect: Answer up to three questions of the gods, one per god per turn. They will be answered truly, accurately, and without deception, but mostly cryptically. Better, free See-Reings basically (Hear-Ings). If the three question quota is being contested by more than three gods, the Ear chooses which questions it wants to answer. Questions must be asked publicly and will be answered publicly.
Frequency: Every turn
Description: A vast, cavernous, tin and brass bat Ear, complete with inner ear structures. It moves erratically across the backdrop of the crystal sphere, with no seeming rhyme or reason, listening in on all sorts of juicy gossip. If a divine speaks a question into the Ear, it will get sucked into the inky black abyss of the ear canal, echoing and echoing and before finally echoing back completely unrecognizeable and distorted, in actual fact an answer to the question the god asked. Its existence is backed by divine consensus.

"The celestial sphere so dark so clear so perfect so undeniable so wrong so omnipresent so ..."
Dogif Claw at the celestial sphere, spending an illusion they make the crystal shards

Name: Crystal shards
Type: Asteroid sphere
Effect: Recreate hollowed out and mostly the visuals of other astrological features effects
Frequency: Not constant, but on average once in a few decades
Description: A swarm of small crystal shards with the common plane in their center, they reflect twist and obscure the image of the crystal sphere behind them from which they were teared, sometimes they aligned to reflect another feature of the sky

"tick tock, tick tock, click clack click clack, drip drip drip TAK TAK TAK, Oder make order, Chaos make Chaos, enough Chaos is bound by greater order, but sometimes, if made right, Order can make chaos, rules exist and the future can be told, but the search is long the search is hard"
Spend a madness act to create the clockwork sun

Name: Clockwork sun
Type: Sun
Description: Bright shining and beautiful, the movement and color of the Clockwork sun are determined  by a system of gears, pulleys, springs, pendulums, weights, and other mechanical contraptions, all with deterministic rules but together they give the sun the illusion that the movement of the star is almost chaotic with small moments of order.

Kingship act:

Name: Keter
Type: Congeries of glowing orbs
Effect: Transfers power from beyond the world to the concept of rulership as mediated by Rama (to be used by later creations); protects stability and enforces authority. Keter is never destroyed or diminished except by direct action (it will not simply burn out, but continue to run forever if undisturbed).
Frequency: Crosses the sky daily, from different directions
Description: A kind of constellation, but of stars (well, starlike orbs) near enough to be perceived as disks rather than points. The disks come in different shapes and move relative to one another, so that the whole system slowly revolves in place; but when it is seen from the right angle it clearly takes the shape of a crown.

Dynasty act

Name: the Ball and the Cross
Type: Brown dwarf
Effect: Acts as a focus for the power of Keter (to be used by later creations); grants fertility, especially to ruling dynasties. The Ball and the Cross is never destroyed or diminished except by direct action.
Frequency: Always opposite Keter
Description: A starlike ball that glows only very faintly from its internal warmth; a strange cross-shaped projection emerges from a pole, which always seems to be pointing upward.

The Wyrm gets working on creating some Angels and Archangel(s).

Equilibrium act

Name: Lia, or Los and Dú
Affiliation: The Wyrm, protection, equilibrium
Class: Archangel
Traits:
 + Can split into two separate entities, Los and Dú, or combine into Lia, one single, undivided entity. Los is The Wyrm's guardian against the Noise from outside the Material plane, and Dú is The Wyrm's guardian against The Eye from within the Material plane. Both Los and Dú have the power of song, which can distract, confuse, redirect, or in the case of the Eye even soothe it to a minor degree. However, Los can only use its song against the Noise, and and Dú can only use its song against the Eye, and both are so tightly bound to their respective posts, that they cannot directly, personally involve themselves with each others duties, or the Mortal Realm. If they recombine into Lia, however, they lose their handicap preventing them from acting within the Mortal Realm, but at the same time, doing so causes them to lose their seperate powers against the Noise and The Eye until they split apart again. If one of them is killed while they are split apart, the other one will die as well.
 + Dú and Los, when seperated, can lay the eggs of, and give birth to, Lesser Dragons, detailed below.
 - As mentioned, although Dú and Los may act seperately from one another, and have powers unique to each other, they are physically unable to involve themselves with their counterpart's realm of expertise, nor are they, in their seperate forms, able to personally interact with the Mortal plane. Although as long as they are combined into Lia they lose such restrictions, this will cause them to lose their respective powers of combating the Noise and The Eye.
Description: Los is pale in colour and Dú is dark in colour, both as vast as a mountain chain, and both possess dozens of eyes on each of their faces. Lia is grey, the Worm with a hundred eyes, first of the Dragons and Archangel of the Wyrm. Although that's about as fancy as the titles get.

Created as both the primary guardians against the Noise and The Eye and as parents and masters of all Lesser Dragonkind, Dú and Los are impartial Entities, much like The Wyrm, and don't really care much about rivalries or alliances or deals; All that matters to them is protecting the world, and thus maintaining a healthy balance within the Material plane, since potentially existential threats can have negative effects on Mortals and Gods alike, even if it's not an existential threat to absolutely everyone else too.

Protection act

Name: Dragons
Affiliation: The Wyrm, Equilibrium, Protection.
Class: Angel(s)
Traits:
 + Created by, and bound to, the Archangel(s) Dú and Los, with Lia being unable to give birth. If their respective parent can focus on them and grant them a little bit of power, they can resist banishment, albeit not entirely, and only if their specific parent is focusing on them.
 + They're magic Angel Dragons. They can fly, they can talk, but more importantly, they can sing. Dragonsong can create plumes of holy fire from the singer's mouth, it can confuse or hurt the Noise, and it can even distract, catch the focus of or, in enough numbers, even calm down The Eye, or redirect its Fury, albeit to a limited extent, and becoming less effective the more active The Eye is.
 - They cannot reproduce by themselves, and if Los and Dú ever die, they will find themselves severely weakened, they will lose a great deal of their powers, and the weaker amongst them shall die, unless a new replacement for Los and Dú can be created, or they can be brought back from the dead.
Description: Vast and Lizardlike, with half a dozen or more eyes each and wings longer then their bodies. Some are grey, some are silvery, some are pale, some are dark, and some few can grow to the size of mountains if they live long enough. Birthed by Dú and Los, both for the purpose of protecting the Material plane from the Noise and the Eye, as well as for the purpose of acting as Emissaries and Servants of the Wyrm, Dragons can very wildly from one another, some of them are just plain unpleasant to be around, whilst others are chill and friendly. They're often more like Individual People than like Angelic servants, but at the end of the day they still have to obey The Wyrm and their Parents.

I do not support ending the age and actively working to awaken It, under any circumstances. I shall remain impartial on the rest, save for the unmodified Silent Spring, a potentially great boon in the protection of the Material plane.

Pillars of the Earths: 2 Trailblazer of the Way, Dogif, Mut

[Demonic Spoon]

Seeing several of their fellow gods calling for the dissolution of all Earths, the most divine, and only axe, the Opener of the Heavens and the Earths, Trailblazer of the Way, Bringer of the First Sun, Reflector of the World, Architect of the Great Hushing, quivered in great unease and fear of the grim future promised by the other, where there was no Earths, half of itself denied.

In attempt to trend discussion and consensus away from such horrifying resolutions, elaborate landscape paintings flow into being from within the axe, depicting massive humongous pillars of earth and stone and metal and wood and flesh and ice and bone and stretching up and down, on and on, forming self contained vertical continents of material. Closer. See the vines and shrubs and hardy trees and grasses growing from the steep vertical sides of the pillars, their roots keeping them entrenched. See the bird flying among them, and making elaborate nest-colonies. See the goats jumping from microscopic crag to miniscule crevice, feasting happily on the vegetative bounty. See the caves the undefined humanoid figures have carved out from the massive bulk and width of their home pillar, their mastery of climbing, the vertical villages of struts and rope bridges and carved houses they slowly wrest from the pillars inch by inch. See them gazing at the distant pillars on the horizon in wonder and with a burning desire to reach them someday.

See the grand palaces that the most powerful and priviliged, kings, build for themselves at the top of each pillar where there is vast acres of flat and safe land, easily fortified against any down below who would grow envious or discontent with the tribute squads that occasionally rappel down in great rivers of highly trained motion. See the mists of uncertainty shrouding the undefined bottoms of the great pillars, perhaps there is a sea here, or endless fire, or simply nothing. It is not something for the axe to decide. See the swirls of illusion dancing amidst the gallery of vertical worlds, occasionally given to the foolish visions of vast tracts of flat land if they could only reach them, only for their hopes to be lies, often causing the deaths of those so entranced.

Opener of the Heavens and the Earths, Trailblazer of the Way, Bringer of the First Sun, Reflector of the World, Architect of the Great Hushing proposes that the world be remade into the Pillars of the Earths, whereby each region created is a distinct vertical pillar, designed to the specifications of its creator(s)

Auden rushes out of his personal Plane - you can catch a glimpse of a workshop before the rift closes - and throws an array of winged golden things to the sky like confetti. They drift down a bit like confetti, too, before the little angels seem to catch themselves and set into flight.

Spoiler: Wrights (click to show/hide)

Name: Wrights
Affiliation: Admiral Auden Bracket
Class: Angels
Traits:
 + Gold-Standard-Template Construction: Each Wright was made with a full understanding of one specific branch of construction - the "why"s, the "how"s, the "when"s, and whatnot. Their work may take time, but it is always made to the highest standards possible within the given constraints.
 + Strong as Steel, Lighter than Air: The intrinsic durability and mass of materials are immaterial to Wrights, who can manipulate either to their needs. A binding made by their hand will not break, even if it loosens, and a blade will not dull; a hammer might fall with the mass of twice its volume in lead, while a Wright's ship might clip across clouds heavier than it.
 -  Mechanical Instinct, or Lack Thereof: Each Wright was made with a full understanding of one specific branch of construction - and that's about it. Although they are capable of learning other skills, they will remain inexperienced with them for a long time, and their ability to interact with mortals in a "natural" manner will suffer drastically from, well, the lack of mortals to practice interacting with,
Description: Wrights are, in simplest terms, clockwork angels. The base of their form is clearly inspired by Admiral Bracket, being essentially human-like (although the Admiral would object to being assumed originating with the species in question), with the further addition of sharp wings and an array of floating hands bearing tools that follow them around - all made of brass clockwork. Each one additionally wears a general uniform, some modified to be more appropriate to their craft, with two insignias pertaining to their specific branch of construction on the right breast and on a band on the left shoulder.

He claps his hands past each other a few times. A job well done! How's everybody feeling? Auden looks around with a gleam in his eyes.

Aku appears from a point with a drumset made out of his body.

"SMASHING!* You're just in time for the impact. It's sure to be a blast."

Autmost looked about the world as it was, a sound emanating from him like that of metal sliding across metal, a ringing grinding noise that is neither uncomfortable, nor particularly pleasant either. It reminds one of thinking, a 'hmmmm' split across a million tiny cubes rubbing together, until it's blurred into a grinding storm of contemplation.

After a while, the sound faded, and Autmost began to build.

Spoiler: Mechanist's Star (click to show/hide)

Name: Mechanist's Star
Type: Nearby Star
Effect: Once every 3 turns a random mortal is chosen by the Mechanist's Star to receive it's blessing. That mortal gains a construction/automation inspiration based on the current events around them. I.e., a soldier may gain an inspiration for an army of automatons, while a villager may envision a grand city (GM Discretion). Those struck by this inspiration gain a compulsion to bring their inspiration to fruition and gain thematic powers empowering them to do so.
Frequency: Every 3 turns.
Description: The Mechanist's star is a still black star surrounded by strange and recondite machinery, pale mint in color, moving and shifting with silent, but tenable purpose. Once every three turns the star ignites and takes on the same color as the machinery surrounding it. This causes the Mechanist's Star to glow very brightly, allowing it to be seen very clearly in the night sky, and faintly during the day (akin to the moon). During this period the machinery surrounding the star works with such intensity that the machine ultimately breaks down and the light fades until the Mechanist's Star can repair itself 3 turns hence to begin the cycle anew.

Next Autmost turns his attention to his machines act. Seems as though it would be worthwhile to plan ahead to the future. Aumost thought for a while, of what this world might hold and the busy goings ons of future mortals. He thought of what they might need, and what they might do, and got lost in all the work it would take their tiny forms. And that was the answer, there would always be work to be done! So, Autmost created a type of outsider well inclined to the labors that this world might later undertake.

Spoiler: Aum (click to show/hide)

Outsider
Name: Aum
Affiliation (list all applicable gods, primary first): Autmost
Class: Outsider
Traits:
 + Easy for mortals to Summon
 + Hard Workers
 - Low Intelligence

Description: Aum are very straightforward outsiders belonging to the machine realm of Autmost. Aum are thin metallic humanoids standing exactly 1 meter high each. They are each an identical opalescent white color and wear simple white clothing. Each wears a silver mask which covers the entirety of their face. On the mask is a unique symbol or pattern unique to each Aum. Save for this, they are exactly identical.

Aum are hard working labor sprites. They are easily summoned with a small ritual to Autmost, where the one wishing to summon an Aumost offers up metals, gemstones, currency or other wealth to Autmost. In exchange, an Aum is summoned to serve the summoner for a period correlating to the amount of wealth tributed. This summoning can be renewed or extended at any point, but only by the same summoner.

Aum are hardworking creatures, who take well to manual labors, especially those that are repetitive or systematic. Aum are strong for their size, approximately as strong as an average human. They are attentive and capable workers, and take to instruction well. They are reasonable with loose instructions, but do not understand subtleties or inferred meanings, having a straightforward interpretation of instructions given. The Aum can understand, but do not speak, the languages known by their summoner. When conversing among themselves, they speak in a language that sounds of metal bells.
