Echoes in the Void

Within the echoes of Creation, a slow exhalation announced the manifestation of Vor, an elephantine God-beast whose twin trunks quested and sniffed symbolically at the Void. Their aged ivory trunks gleamed with frost despite the patina of star-burns upon them; their leathery hide was marked with the scars of comets and ice, wreathed in a halo of void-mist. Upon their body and about their waist hung a multitude of tools and instruments, as if made for smaller hands than they themselves possessed

They stood, still for a moment, and then trumpeted a greeting to their predecessors - siblings perhaps, "Father Ao, I wake. I wake and I am Vor"

Osalus growls at Vor, "You gave out my creation? Without asking? You are bold and brash Vor!"

The recent vents had disturbed the harmony that Ferenghir had thought the gods had been engaged in.

"Kargous, we were never quite clear on your fixation against magic. It seems that in enacting your plans, you cause the suffering you had wanted to avoid. Magic is indeed wild, but perhaps we should all focus on nurturing our creations and teaching them how to temper that chaos, rather than destroy it completely."

Turning to Vor, Ferenghir waved a starlit tendril. "It is good to see a new god with a thirst for creation. We believe Metal Runecrafting will play an integral role in the safe mastery of Mana and magic. If you ever desire help in seeing this come to fruition, please seek us out."

At the furious outburst from Osalus, Vor's trunks stiffened and their ears flapped with suppressed agitation, but the smooth interjection of their more nebulous sibling prevented any rash retort. No, instead they nodded once in thanks to Feneghir and spoke softly, "All things under Creations belong to Father Ao, regardless of their nature. All are ripe for our meddling, but the wild nature of this mana brought forth by you Elderlings errs too much to entropy and chaos"

Their words seemed to be thanks and admonishment and agreement wrapped in one

In reply to Vor (msg # 70):

The liquid mercury dome of Ferenghir's face rippled in amusement. "Chaos, perhaps, but entropy, no. You will come to find mortal life seeks out chaos on its own accord."

Ferenghir caressed a tendril of light against one of Vor's trunks. "To what end do you Act? We see the beauty of our fellow gods and their powers and seek to mimic that in the Void. We gifted all of our creations with the opportunity for magic—their little Acts—as an homage to our own Acts.

"Control is an illusory gift bestowed upon us by Ao. There is beauty in cooperation, Vor, to Act when we can, affect what we must, and allow our creations to dance their own beautiful dances upon the tapestry of existence."

"To what end?", considered the elephantine power thoughtfully, "Why my own whim, the same as each of the children of Father Ao"

They made no reaction to the unasked for caress, for it told him something of the other's nature and that was message enough. But they did pay heed to the words, the setting out of a stall selling cooperation and harmony

"Your argument is one of ownership, a communal playground", they finally suggested, "Whereas my whim is to come to know our Father, to seek his face. There need not be conflict in our intents"

And Kargous thought to himself, and after a time voiced his thoughts aloud “Let's consider for a moment, the three moons.
What happens on one is altered slightly and then happens on the other two.  We have encountered this in all cases, regardless of what has been created. If we then take this to its logical conclusion, then the mana that occurs in a singular form on Celestia must be added to in some way to form the different types of mana we find.  The question then becomes what is the substance added to the mana or by what form does it  become transformed to  become the other kinds of mana with the different properties it has on the other two moons? This is a matter worth investigating is it not? Should not a place be devised for us to study such matters, we, who despite our powers are not always full of understanding?”

What great changes have come this Aeon! So many artifacts and magical gifts! I am enjoying seeing how the mortals react to all our creations.

In reply to Arcturus (msg # 74):

"Indeed, it is power beyond what they are accustomed to."

Ferenghir's dome face swirled in a gentle whirlpool. "Our latest creation, the Tricolor Mana Orb, fell onto Yazul, and the Wrath-touched Krys seem to have their ambitions set on utilizing that power. It is... concerning."

Let it be known that the gods Vaunht, Ferenghir, Narcissa and Osalus have joined together to form the PANTHEON OF UNITY. Let them join their works for a greater purpose and woe unto them should their union fail.

If it pleases the Gods, and mighty Ao,  I request a fourth day, to complete what I would like to accomplish before I slumber. Obviously I shall bow to the will of the greater number.

Ao's whims will come to bear should the Aeon continue longer. Such chaos right before the Aon ends may bode poorly for our plans.

We vote to end.

Kargous, we weep at the folly of your latest Acts. Oceaus now suffers greatly, and the Aeon is soon to end. You tempt chaos and destruction with the invitation of Ao's Wrath.

In reply to Ferenghir (msg # 86):



"I weep with you. Perhaps it will serve as a lesson for the future of the danger of overstepping. That was not my desire, nor my goal, but still it is my folly and my shame. Ao was kind to let me have a chance to  aid in building   a world. It has brought me as much joy as sorrow.

It was my hope that I could build a world where mortals did not depend on magic, as they have on others.

It was my hope that through my children I could let  all mortals know of the joys of building with their whit and their hands alone.

Oh how I hoped.

But now that long call has caught up with me. I a mortal given the brief powers of a god. I go to answer that call now.  I go having given up hope, and offer it to you that remain alone.

Now I go."


Kargous bows to his peers.

Kargous bows to Ao.

Kargous takes two steps to his left, and his form seems to ripple, as water does when some object is tossed into it, and Kargous is no more.

With the passing of Kargous the vote is tipped towards the closing of the Aeon. The current Age shall end at the twilight of 5/30/20. May the gods plan their final acts well.

Strange, thought Ferenghir. To see a god undone. Moreso to see one bear their unfulfilled hopes and ambitions. And as such, Ferenghir could now feel the walls the other gods had built around their own hopes. Such was the way, they supposed, for they were all equally powerful but all unique in personhood and whimsy.

What great and terrible things have happened this Aeon! May our creations grow and become greater while we slumber. Until we meet again fellow deities.
