I placed a couple hundred of each species in different locations around Unguis, (except for the three new ones and the giants) and let the gods do their thing. Ok. They already assigned each other a species to take care of. It seems like:

Primis= Humans

Magus= Elves

Ars= Dwarves

Viribus= Centaurs

Aqua= Lizardmen

Celeritas= Avians

Exitium= Giants, Orks, Goblins

I’m going to watch Primis for a while. Let’s see...oh, he’s speaking to the humans, telling them that he’s a deity. They’re afraid, but he’s saying that he’s there to help. If they want to survive, the humans need to:

-find a place with food and water

-construct shelter

-make tools

They’re wandering around, following Primis’ directions to find their new home. This sounds like a great start for his religion.

-five years later-

The humans have a nice village now. Well, it’s really just a bunch of mud and stick huts, but it’s better than nothing. Primis chose one as their leader to stop fights, and three more as advisors. It’s not perfect, but now the humans have a basic hierarchy.

I’m impressed by the humans ingenuity. They’ve already learned how to make rope out of plant fibres, and spears with sticks and a sharp rock attached by said rope. They also have primitive axes, but they’re not very good at cutting down trees.

Seeing as the humans are doing ok, I’ll check on the others.

Nice. The other species are doing pretty much exactly what the humans are. The avians have constructed nests in the trees, the lizardmen use their spears to fish, the elves have crafted rudimentary bows...etc.

I don’t want to say ‘orks, goblins and giants’ whenever I refer to them, so I’ll use an acronym; OGG! The OGG are doing the best out of everyone. Exitium has been using fear to control them,saying they have to advance in pretty much everything or he’ll kill them all. He can’t, of course, but I won’t tell them that. He is allowed to smite the occasional rebel, though.

Well, that’s about all there is for now. I think I’ll meditate for a few centuries and see what’s changed.
