Pantheon 2.0 - Game Thread

[Mistress Cathy]

Ah, Caroline!!!! Those who did this will regret that they ever heard my name!

Great Maeror! Great Argothoth! Can you restore her to me?

[stonemaybe]

My Brothers and Sisters!

The plague in Thellarr seems to have been eradicated. My thanks to those of you who helped.

My prophet Min-q contracted the plague and recovered. To try to ensure that plague does not threaten our world again, Min-q has sacrificed his body and his spirit has entered a river I have created in Thellarr. With the aid of Maeror, Min-q's spirit has empowered this river with healing properties that should cure any future outbreaks of plague. The river flows over a cliff to the east of Mai-e as a waterfall into the sea, which should, I hope, enable easier access.

The restorative properties of this river, which I have named the Tears of Undine, will be available to everyone without discrimination. Lord Adomorn, if I could request a squad of your most diplomatic and particular guards to help keep the peace?

As a sign of the new peace between Maeror and myself, a shrine to Maeror is being constructed on the banks of the river. Maeror, I apologise unreservedly for the actions of part of my navy as they were withdrawing from Regret and Grief. On the Oath of the Allfather, I swear that I exerted divine power to try to ensure a peaceful withdrawal, and those who attacked Glianneth and Grief, did so without my support or permission or blessing. I will re-word this Oath in any way you desire to convince you that I did not intend these two attacks.

Undine

[Nerdanel]

Bhakti, I wish to congratulate you of your triumph over the Abomination. It turned out that my help was not as helpful as one might have wished for, but I hope we can all take this as a lesson in cooperation. At least the thought was there, and as far as I can detect the Abomination could not absorb any of my power to use against you.

[balon!]

Lord Adomorn, if I could request a squad of your most diplomatic and particular guards to help keep the peace?

Of course. I will hand pick them to be most undertstanding and helpfull. They will be sent immediatley.

[balon!]

Jove, you have my deepest apologies for the loss of your prophet. I know hwo deeply we all love our respective representatives on Eiran, and to lose him or her, must feel terrible. I am sorry.

Contrawise, congratulatios to you Bhakti, we all could not have hoped for a better result, you shone as brightly as the sun. Even the lowest of the low felt the power of Love that day.



On a seperate note, Veria's Hand has resurfaced, though, I know little about him. What does the rest of the Pantheon know of Veria and his goonies?

[Mistress Cathy]

My thanks, Lord Adomorn. I am feeling her loss keenly. While I am estatic at my husband's victory over the abomination, it is with deep grief that I face this season. This particular goddess has been angered in the extreme and I will hunt down and destroy those humans responsible for Caroline's death.

[Bhakti]

Tsaloga,

The Abomination was, indeed, strengthened by your attack. However, there are at least three reasons you should not have any regrets:

1) The Power-boost I got from our siblings was more than enough to make up for it.

2) You intended to help me. We cannot always know how our actions will work out, but the reasons we act are another matter. I thank you for your reason.

3) I should have been paying more attention, and coordinating all of this better. I am the more experienced deity, but none would have guessed that was the case from my handling of this situation. I didn't notice you had said you intended to use Power to help, so didn't contact you with how your Power would likely help best. And I waited much too long to make a public announcement to Adomorn, after I received his message and could not contact him again. All my fault. I knew the dangers of anyone using Power the way you were planning to use it, but didn't do nearly enough to make sure nobody did.


Sister, all is well and good!

[Injerian Praetus II]

Argothoth, I hope your followers are settled into Zamara and Darkmoon, and that the shaping of the stone and wood is to your satisfaction. All icons of my cult have been removed, so the cities are no longer holy ground nor support my churches.

I may also publicly make an offer of peace and harmony between our two nations. May your people flourish in the new lands and may we work together into building a better world.

[balon!]

I will state my question publically once more, then I will ask all privatley.

What information does anyone have on Viera and His Goonies? I have heard of them, yes, but actually KNOW precious little.

Any help will be appreciated.

[Bhakti]

What is this creature called Balon? Is it some new threat? Is it a new godling? Is it something more mysterious?

I have not heard of this Viera either.

How have I lost touch with so much?!

[Benito Alvarez]

Indeed! He must be mind reader for he copied my request to the Pantheon exactally!

[Mistress Cathy]

I have not heard of this other thing, either.

[I'm Murrin]

That would be Veria, not Viera. And there has been enough said publicly in the past that all you need to know should be readily available.

[Benito Alvarez]

My apologies, I remember no mention whatsoever of Veria. I will look in the past, and see what can be dug up.

[Benito Alvarez]

Brothers and Sisters of the Pantheon, Simjen in particular, I have news from some of my firsherpeoples of Linver. They have returned from a fishing trip in the Western expanses of the Ocean with this information:

A small vessel manned by some of your worshipers and fishing in the western reaches of the oceans hurriedly reaches Linver, its sailors claiming that the Mists That Encircle The World have been writhing and sizzling as if agitated.

I do not know what this means, but it doesn't sit well. Especially considering that the wish of the Pantheon was granted not a month ago from the very place; the Outer Mists.

Thoughts?

[Norn]

My brothers Nor Yekith and Undine and my sister Jove, my thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow. As one who has lost not one but two beloved prophets I know the pain when your chosen is robbed of life before his or her time and I offer my condolences to you all in your grief.

[I'm Murrin]

Those are not the only ones who have lost important followers this turn. Knowing that the death of my own Emissary was not revealed publicly causes me to wonder at the true extent of the slaughter.

[Benito Alvarez]

The Lord-General was killed?

This does amp up the severity of the deeds done. I wonder if and how they are all connected...

[I'm Murrin]

The Lord-General lives, Adomorn. It was Glianneth the Seer, my recently appointed divine emissary, the most revered and influential man among my people, who was murdered. Under suspiciously familiar circumstances which I do not intend to discuss until I have further information.

[Benito Alvarez]

I am glad to hear your Prohpet lives, Maeror, yet am saddened by your loss.

Again, as for the others, I will be here to help should you need it.
