God Game Lite:Second epoch

<< Main Page

Some of the act-level rules were uncertain during the first two epochs. The draw rules were also different, leading to more uneventful epochs. The population values have been retconned.

The Elves

The elves had another uneventful epoch, leading to further complacency. Sun began to warm the area subtly, causing a drought. As the crops began to wither, he appeared again as a dragon and used his powers to restore them. He then landed, transforming into an elf with glowing eyes and taught the priesthood the ways of druidism.

At the end of the second epoch, the elves numbered 2025.

The Mercatfolk

The mercatfolk had another uneventful epoch too, which further compounded their complacency. This time, Moon used her powers to create orca in the southern seas, which would prey on the mercatfolk. After they learned to fear these new creatures, she appeared before them an taught the how to fight back. She also taught them ritualized boat making.

Because she had been getting some worship from some of the pixies, some of the souls in the newest mercatfolk were once pixies. This lead some mercatfolk to have dreams and visions of a past life spent flying among the trees in an unfamiliar place. Some mercatfolk began to think that blue eyes were a sign of madness.

At the end of the second epoch, the mercatfolk numbered 2002.

The Tengu and the Pixies

Some of the pixies, lead by the prophet's teachings constructed kites and were blown across to the nearby continent, where they ran into the tengu city. Because of their nomadic way of life, lack of concepts of personal property and landownership and their inability to understand the tengu's language, they promptly started a small war.

One of the tengu priests began to dissent from the emotionless ways that Order had instructed, saying that their emotions needn't be ignored. He was blamed for the invading pixies and had his voice taken away.

Chaos, in a mighty effort, gave his pixies the ability to become invisible once per day. In response, Order enchanted his city against invisibility. This caused the tengu to view invisibility as a sin, and even think of hiding and sneaking as a bad thing.

Order also gave the priesthood the ability to use the magic weapon spell once per day. All of this, combined with the tengu's size advantage meant that the pixies didn't have much chance. Instead, they learned to avoid the city, and stay out of sight around the tengu.

This left the pixies geographically separated into three tribes: those that stayed on their home island, those that now hang around the outskirts of tengu society, and those that went past the city into the desert beyond.

At the end of the second epoch, the pixies numbered 2002, while the tengu numbered 2016.
