Too cliche. Fertility is much more than sex. It can mean the growth of one's self, good health and such.

>>1378685
When we are a greater deity, maybe. But for know, we only help our followers to get laid. Beside, the sex orgies in the temples is wonderfull for troop morale.

>>1378726
Mask. For some mystery.

So are we going for clerics, paladins? Or both?

Clerics work better.
Less about staunch devotion to the rules and hierarchy, more about helping people feel better physically.

Clerics, paladins, knights, priestess!
I dunno Clerics and Priestess sound more fitting

One priestess with the motherly/fertile body and a male priest with a healthy body?
That better?

>>1378869
>only female followers
Boring. It takes two to tango.

Since were a male fertility god, i say our goal is to have as many strong children and claim the position of heir to the all father

>>1378871
Much better

>>1378872
I know that is why i asked.

>>1378874
Eh. I rather make sure the land and people are healthy and making babies. Maybe fight diseases, heal destroyed lands, battle other gods and such.

>>1378895
I figure we would only fight malevolent gods or anybody trying to encroach on our territory.
Otherwise we would just be watching or devotees and smiting any monster that poses a threat.

You recline on a magnificent throne, sculpted of the finest stone, shaped by master craftsmen, it was the first sacrifice a follower offered to you. At the time it was roughly chipped of granite, and thrown into a volcano to be incinerated, but it was sacrificed in your name and painstakingly carved with devout faith. You accepted it, and in your gratitude granted its carver a lifetime of virility and success in romantic endeavors. Over time, your divine presence has shaped it into something much more suitable.

You ponder, and recall your birth. An eternity of nothingness, almost dreamlike, before the All-Father was cut in a duel by the Demon Lord Uth-Thra, his ichor and sweat spilled onto a grove of cherry bushes, and from them you were born in a flash of radiant light. Uth-Thra was blinded by your light, and the All-Father gained the upper hand, banishing him to his nether-realm once more.

The All-Father gazed upon you, even as a mewling babe, your face shone with an intensity even he could scarcely endure. From the side of a mountain, he carved a beautiful mask, and placed it upon you to hide your true form. He raised you as his own, teaching you to manipulate and control your inner power. When a few centuries had passed, he deemed you ready, and granted you the domain of Fertility, and enough power to establish yourself.

All Gods must find their own path, you were no different. You left the All-Father's dominion, and with your power, shaped a Godly Realm. A grain of sand by Godly standards, it is only the size of a large island. It is a tropical paradise floating in crystal clear waters, filled with a great multitude of vibrant plants and passionate beasts, all given over to the urges of nature, the blowing wind whistles soothing music between the trees, the sun is always in the sky, save when you wish for the privacy darkness provides. No sign of mortal activity marrs its primal beauty, apart from your temple.

A vast, marble ziggurat lies in the island's center, it is perfectly carved and shines with reflection of the sun's light, yet it is overgrown with vines and vegetation, and filled with roaming beasts. At the the very top of the temple is your throne, where you lay contemplating the empty blue skies.

> To be continued

>>1379124

So far, you have scarcely ten-thousand followers, scattered across two subplanes of reality. The first, your favorite, is Urnodos, a vast flat ocean filled with tropical islands much like your own, the deities there are the primal, volcanic, and oceanic sort, but they don't mind your presence or conversion of their followers, so long as they are still venerated and receive their sacred offerings. The mortals are bronze-skinned, two-legged things, similar to you superficially, but unimaginably ugly and fragile. They have a fiery ambition for everything they do, and seek to one day sail beyond Urnodos, an impossibility unless they discover extraplanar travel or receive divine aid. They are called Hu-Mohns, and are almost endearing to you. Supposedly they're extremely common for their genetic flexibility and devotion to their ideals. In addition, many strange and alien mortals lurk the depths beneath the waves, but they were formed by the elders, and have no interest in your domain. Perhaps 8,000 worship you, spread out across half a dozen islands, scarcely a fraction of the full plane.

The second, is Yatash, a scorching desert hellhole, with nary a patch of grass to be seen apart from the rare oasis and the dwindling river kingdoms. The God who created Yatash, Yatashi, a cruel and malevolent God, has left for greener pastures thousands of years ago, and in his abscence, the plane is dying, as moisture is drained by spirits of entropy, and mortals slaughter one another in the name of petty war Gods. It is a dire situation, and without your interference, Yatash will die in at least twenty mortal generations. Little over 2,000 mortals have found hope in you, and have attempted to make sacrifices of precious water to beseech your aid. Most of the mortals there are Hu-Mohns, though there are a few, less prolific races.

Two more matters of interest draw your attention. Your Godly Realm has no mortals within it, most Godly Realms serve as afterlives for their creator's followers, though many Gods simply let the souls of their mortal followers reincarnate, you might not want to do so. As long as you've had followers, they've simply been reborn as the children of mortal couples who follow you. It's somewhat quiet around your island, if you allowed mortals to spend their afterlife in your Godly Realm, you'd have to establish a set of criteria for entry, some kind of religion beyond random orgies and rampant promiscuity, and accomadations for their mortal bodies, which, while unaging in your Godly Realm, are still most comfortable with food, water, and shelter.

> To be continued

>>1379124
>>1379131

Lastly, in the deepest caverns of Yatash, in the core of the spherical plane, lies the Blade of Uth-Thra, ready for the taking. Of course, it isn't the true blade of Uth-Thra, but rather, a sidearm the Demon Lord wielded when he was younger and much, much less powerful. That said, the Blade has powerful sorcery embedded within it, and if you could obtain it, your power level would greatly increase. The only problem is that it has a guardian, the Whisper of Yatashi, a gaseous incarnation of sand and famine, it has the strength of a lesser God, and you would be hard-pressed to do battle against it. However, if you don't, eventually one of the local War Gods will get ahold of it, and that can't be good for the plane as a whole.

> Telantes, what would you like to do?

>>1379136
>Head towards and investigate their problems some more
A good start to get more followers. They're desperate and in dire need of substance. Their sacrifices are good since it's their most precious resource.

If we can go down to their plane and see how we can help them while being with them we would probably gain more followers and ease the process

>>1379259
Let's go with a stealthy way. The War gods won't like it if we're converting their followers and we should avoid direct fights as much as we can until we're stronger. I prefer to strengthen the followers there to win and claim parts to live.

>>1379278
>I prefer to strengthen the followers there to win and claim parts to live.

Same. We need to have some defenses at least. Maybe search for the one that carved our throne and have him hang around our realm? Need some mosary to be done in the temple anyway...

>>1379165

The Hu-Mohns of Yatash are in need of help only you can give, it would be wrong to deny them after they've offered all they can give. You get up off of your throne and stretch your back and limbs for a moment. You reach out and pierce the veil between realms, opening and closing a portal in the barest of instants. It is more than enough time for you to slip into the sands of Yatash.

> ...

Yatash is a different place from your Godly Realm, that's for sure. Brown, empty sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see, beneath a dust clouded yellow sky, and burning white sun. The air is filled with sandy grit that gets into your teeth, and a dryness that seeps into the core of your being. You are distinctly uncomfortable and a sense of unease, and you're a God capable of leaving at any moment. You can't imagine the plight of the mortals living here, and that's something you'll have to remedy.

For days you travel across the sands, never once seeing more than the hardiest of cacti, never sensing anymore than the faintest traces of water. A week passes, and you're on the verge of giving up, when you hear voices in the distance. You snap your fingers and appear behind a sand dune, just out of sight of the speakers. A dozen men and women, and a single child, stand around a hole in the ground. Each of them is swaddled in patchwork, filthy robes and wears thick, bone face masks, most likely to protect themselves from the sand and sun. They seem hopeless, and a man, most likely their leader, is shouting, his voice periodically cracking with thirst. You don't know the language, but you sense the intent behind it, and if you wished, could communicate without issue.

> "What are we to do? This, this right here, is the last spring in thirty leagues, and it's run dry! We're going to die out here in these wastes, the Gods have abandoned us! It'd be a mercy to end our lives now!"

An older women speaks up, her voice is laden with a false hope she knows is hollow,

> "Wait son, don't lose hope. Telantes hears us, and he will come. I know it, I just know it. When I was young, a little girl, I saw him in a dream. A paradise, more water than you could imagine, plants without thorns, beasts without claws and spikes! He will come, I just know it."

Their leader speaks, struggling to hold back tears, and rebukes her.

> "You and your God! Telantes this, Telantes that, Telantes, Telantes, Telantes! It's all meaningless! He's just a dream, a nice, pretty little dream, no more, no less! The only true God is Yatashi, and he has left us to the demons."

He falls to his knees, beating the ground and wailing in despair, as the rest of his family watches, concerned.

> Telantes, you feel that if there was ever a time to reveal yourself, that time is now. How do you do so?

>>1379303

We could create a tree after we re-create the spring. It will need water too.

All of a sudden, a mystical sense of calm comes over the Hu-Mohns, and each of them feel their eyes drawn to the water hole. Before their disbelieving eyes, a gray cloud appears above them and water begins to fill the hole, slowly trickling at first, it soon becomes a torrent, and a downpour, filling the hole to the brim and then some, soaking the feet of the Hu-Mohns. As quickly as it came, the raincloud dissipates, but the water remains.

Each of them is stunned and unable to act at first, the old woman nearly faints but a gentle wind cushions her fall. From the waters comes a strange but elegant creature, alien to them yet somehow more beautiful than anything they've ever known, it brings tears to their eyes.

Each sees something different, a pangolin, a jackalope, a desert viper, the child even a one-horned gazelle. Where it walks, bushes bearing a small, sweet, red berry sprout in moments, and even a palm tree grows from sapling to full-size less than a minute. They all stare at the creature, enraptured by its miraculous power, until it walks to the horizon. Before leaving, it turns back to them, and each hears the same words.

> "Quench your thirst, there is yet more to come."

> ...

Phew, that last month was doozy. You traveled across Yatash, repeating your stunt with other watering holes a dozen times, each one with similar results. The Hu-Mohns were dying, are near to dying of thirst, you arrive with a raincloud, lots of cherry bushes, and a palm tree, everyone sees you differently, and you give all of them the same vague prophecy.

At least 99.9% of the watering holes are still drained or empty, but you made a difference, and that's what counts. You lost a good deal of power creating the oasis, but the nigh fanatical faith you've inspired in 7,000 Hu-Mohn nomads has allowed you to recoup your losses, and then some.

It seems they've started worshiping you as some kind of savior rain God that's going to make the deserts of Yatash a verdant paradise if they're willing to pray to you each day, and visit a holy watering ground you've touched. It seems like you've got your own desert cult, and you didn't even try to start one! It's spreading like wildfire, at the rate it's going there'll be 20,000 Telantes worshipers by the end of the month. You have a gut instinct that if you can gain 200,000 followers, you'll gain a Rain domain.

> Telantes, you've done good, but there's still much work to be done. What should you do?

>>1379511
>Choose a champion from your new followers
Mortal men need an ideal to strive for and a figure to inspire hope when the God's cannot.

>>1379511

>>1379522

Why not Two!
A man and a woman!
To spread the word that we're a God of fertility and bounty!

Rain, Fertility, if we get a seasonal domain of Spring we can probably get a freebie God of New Life domain. Which would be badass.

>>1379511
Make the old woman who kept the faith our priestess. Give her SLIGHT water conjuring abilities to slake the thirst of the most loyal.

>>1379511
>Telantes, you've done good, but there's still much work to be done. What should you do?

He older women that spoke for us and didn't lost her faith. Appear in a dream and tell she needs to bathe in the water once she does it let's give her a young well build body so she can start organizing our cult.

Once we make sure our followers won't die if we live for a while, we should start making preparations to get the Blade of Uth-Thra into our hands.
>>1379546

>>1379511
In addition to scouting out leadership figures for our followers, I'm also going to suggest getting a read on the local War Gods. Who are the biggest problems going to be, and how long do we have to prepare for them?

That will take a while. Let's focus on cementing our faith here first. The Rain domain will be quite helpful.

>>1379557
Fair enough. Once we get that set up as the afterlife for our patrons then we should worry about artifacts I guess.

Update in the next 1-2 hours, stay tuned.

Your followers are devoted to you and your cause, but they lack direction. They have you to lead them, but they need someone smaller... someone more... personal... They need a prophet, but who? You suppose you could become your own prophet, but that's a bit trite, and limits your options somewhat.

You could outright create a prophet, but you don't want to draw too much attention just yet. One of the mortals will have to do, but who? There's almost two million in Yatash to choose from... The older one, the decrepit old crone who'd kept the faith. Yes, she will be your prophet.

Almost three week's travel away, at a small ragged campsite, the old woman slept. Goliht was her name, she dreamt of the oasis she'd seen, and of the pangolin she had seen. It was an embodiment of Tentales, she was certain, the peace all around it, the fire she felt in her bosom, the voice that spoke, that couldn't any mere animal, no, it was a God.

The rumors of the sand whisered that Tentales had appeared to more, and that now a dozen watering holes had been touched. Thousands of men, women, and children have begun to worship him, to pray for guidance, hope, and rain. Soon, many more will realize the truth, and Tentales will bring all that is needed and more, she knew it in her heart.

All of a sudden, a misty fog rose from the oasis, and a raincloud began to pour, washing away the dust and sand, and in its place, sprouted more grass blades than she could count, the yellowed skies shone a clean, peaceful, blue, and the sun was no longer white, but golden. Tears came to her eyes, and from the mists, a figure was visible. Almost like a man, but stronger somehow, almost royal, no, more than royal, it was divine. She fell to her knees, bowing before him, whispering thanks to Tentales.

A voice echoed through the dreamy meadow, and with each word it became realer, and realer, until she could smell the grass and taste the mist. She listened to the voice with every fiber of her being, and committed its words to memory.

> "Goliht, look around you. This is a sign of what is to come. Awaken, and travel to the watering hole where I first spoke. There, call upon my name, and submerge yourself in its depths. So says Tentales."

She awakened with a start, and wept with the beauty of what she'd witnessed. The burning sands, the yellowed sky, the hateful sun, Tentales will sweep it away, she knows it.

She awakened and told her family what she had witnessed. With scarcely a word, they packed what little they had, and set to walking.

> To be continued

>>1380617

Time passed, and soon they'd arrived. The oasis was as beautiful as when they'd first arrived. Not a grain of sand befouled the waters, the vegetation thrived, and even the sun didn't beat down on their heads. The old woman stepped forward and spoke,

> "Tentales, I call upon you!"

The light shone on the waters, and its reflection should've blinded them, but the glare soothed their eyes. Goliht threw off her rags, and waded into the pool. As the water touched her, she shuddered with energy, and fell face first into the waters. Her son's eyes widened, and he stepped forward to lift her out, when a naked woman walked out of the waters.

Her pale skin gleamed with vigorous youth, her green eyes told of spring, and her tawny hair gleamed with health. She reached forward, grasped the rags, and slid them on, in a flash of brilliant light, the rags shifted and changed into a elegent cloak of the finest silk. In a burst of passion, she raised her hands and shouted with joy.

From seemingly nowhere, a raincloud came into being with the sound of thunder, and a deluge engulfed them all, yet none were drowned, and when the rain ceased, none were wet, but the sand was cleaned from every part of them. They looked above her, and as the rain cloud parted, an arc of prismatic, multicolored light took its place in the sky.

A booming voice echoed from the heavens, and they knelt in awe. It spoke,

> "Goliht, as I have restored your beauty, I will restore Yatash. I grant you the gift of rain, that you will show my power to all who doubt. Go, and spread the word as my prophet. So says Tentales."

You'd say that went well. Goliht's been restored to youth and is doing watery miracles everywhere she goes. In the month she traveled, 20,000 Hu-Mohns turned their worship to you, and your power is slowly but steadily growing. In the weeks to come, you're certain Goliht's rain will bring many more to your waters.

In the meantime, you've done some snooping around, and discovered the three Gods that rule Yatash. There are others of course, but their cults are much smaller, and they aren't nearly as active in the world.

> Phezen, The Parched One, a gaunt, mummified wretch who lives without life, he is a God of Thirst, Desolation, Pain, Misery, and the Desert. Yatash was already dying, but his arrival no doubt hastened its end. Of the three, he is the least popular deity, but the few who follow him are unflinching fanatics. His followers wander the sands, eternally thirsting, torturing all who refuse to kneel before Phezen, draining the few watering holes they encounter until nothing but dust remains.

> Tho'Tch The Red, a bloodthirsty demonic entity who wishes for nothing but carnage, he is a God of Slaughter, Triumph, and Impalement. Of the three, he is the most popular deity, and he has the river kingdoms in his grasp. His followers are many, but few are truly devout, seeing no other way. His priesthood are masterful warriors, adept at spilling the blood of all who oppose Tho'Tch, and publicly impale all who deny sent him on wooden stakes.

> Kurhu, The Black Butcher, a skeletal beast with a flaming shadow and gaping maw, he is a God of Cannibalism, Shadow, Fire, and Death. Of the three, he is more popular than Phezen, but less popular than Tho'Tch. Most of his mortal followers are scattered across the wastes, preying on travelers to sate their hunger, and a few hide themselves in the river kingdoms, secretly performing rituals to their dark deity. Those who Kurhu's followers have eaten, their skeletons are set alight with black flame, and they wander the world, killing and burning to fill the void within themselves.

> At the moment, each of the three is stronger than you, but that could change soon.

Hmm, Yatash is more grimdark than you thought it'd be. That's not a bad thing, er, of course it's a bad thing, but it's nothing insurmountable. You have a vast mountain ahead of you, all you can do is climb it and hope for the best.

> Tentales, what do you do?

>>1380620
Watch Over Golith, make sure no harm comes her way and keep talking to her via dreams to keep her motivated but show her more glimpses of our place each time
and maybe bless her with a child

>>1380650
Golith and If possible all of our followers, see if any of them require special treatment or special help

>>1380620
Perhaps visit the river kingdoms? I mean, they are probably rich with water and they seem like they need help with dealing Tho'Tch

>>1380620
>Begin quietly sowing dreams and rumours in the inhabitants of the river kingdoms. Dreams of the rivers running dry under the rule of their current gods. Visions of Tentales returning the waters after striking down their false gods. Sowing the seeds of discontent and all that.

>>1380675
That could draw attention to us if we influence the wrong people, them wargods could come after us for trying to steal their followers

>>1380680
Well we need to be sneaky about it then. Find those that are unhappy with the rule of the current gods.

>>1380620
We're going to be in direct conflict with Phezen, soon. Is there any chance we can set Tho'Tch on Phezen? Kurhu will take advantage of any weakness in either cult...

What if we spirit some of Kurhu's skeletons into a Tho'Tch city or three? That'll draw the attention of the warrior priests. If we can leave those same openings for Phezen's murder cults, then Tho'Tch will be fighting a war on two fronts against groups who excell in avoiding open battle. Plus, as Phezen's work starts drying up the river kingdoms, more will come to our oases.

Anything to keep Phezen off our ass a bit longer.

>>1380620
>Put dreams of fertility in some of the minds of their supporters; show them they can give life again instead of just taking it

>>1380675
>Visions of Tentales returning the waters after striking down their false gods. Sowing the seeds of discontent and all that.
That will be just blasphemy in their eyes. We need to convince them our way is the best way to live, not just survive. They have been trying to survives for years without enjoying life.

Something like a woman being killed in a battle then like time rewinding itself and instead of the woman being killed we show the same woman being approached by a man and then falling in love, having a kid and raising said child in our realm

>>1380790
>Put dreams of fertility in some of the minds of their supporters; show them they can give life again instead of just taking it.

I'm hesitant about this. I'd be fine influencing the minds of those who wander the desert and who may find life in our embrace, but doing that to the supporters of other gods when we're this weak could band them together in an alliance to crush us and restore unrelenting grimdark to Yatash. I'd rather focus on unaligned than even the weakest of the war gods supporters.

>>1380620
Time is on our side. Let the war gods kill themselves and their supporters while we increase the fertility of our followers and let our burgeoning nation bloom. In a generation or two we could have the numbers to be a more formidable force on this plane.

I've got to say, I was worried when I first saw we would start as a fertility god in the quest that it would become another smut thread, but so far the writing has been excellent and I will continue to watch with great interest.

>>Time is on our side. Let the war gods kill themselves and their supporters while we increase the fertility of our followers and let our burgeoning nation bloom. In a generation or two we could have the numbers to be a more formidable force on this plane.

Fucking THIS. Let us build great oasis cities that draw in worshipers by the thousands

>Time is on our side. Let the war gods kill themselves and their supporters while we increase the fertility of our followers and let our burgeoning nation bloom. In a generation or two we could have the numbers to be a more formidable force on this plane.

>>1380943
That will be more obvious to the war gods. We are taking their followers more directly like that. I guess no matter what the war gods will find out.

>>1380965
It's a more direct challenge to build a blooming city and let the unaligned come to us than it is to magically influence the minds of the war gods' worshippers?

I'm not sure I agree.

>>1380984
Well, we're doing it out in the open so yeah. It's more direct.

Either way, they won't like some new god taking away potential followers from them.

>>1380996
True

We need to get the damn sword before any of these fucks do but the most we could do is pit them against each other. Maybe we could request aid from the gods of Urnodos? They are pretty neutral so far maybe we could tag team with one to help save Yatash.

>>1381092
Let's get the Rain domain first. I think it will help immensely against the demon guarding it.

>>1381104
The rain domain will definitely help. I don't think we should attempt to take the weapon until we're significantly more powerful than the war gods. Otherwise they will likely attempt to gang up on us and steal the blade while we are weakened after fighting the guardian.

I like the options taking the rain domain gives our character. Maybe we can get a storm theme going: "Tentales the life-giving storm" or something like that?

>>1381104
We kind of need to get the sword soon if only to keep it out of the other Yatash gods' hand, hell it would be better off in the Urnodos gods' hand if we were to make an alliance but the question is if we can trust them.

>>1381123
It's "Telantes" but yes. The war gods might gang up on us but I think that's not a danger yet. Since they're too greedy and bloodthirsty to work together.

>>1381123
Actually the sword is a massive power boost to whoever gets it. Also not interested in the Rain domain, I'd rather the Nature domain since it meshes better with Fertility which shouldn't be hard to get.

>>1381124
>Trusting other gods when we're not as strong as them
Silly Anon. This is a game.
>>1381136
Rain domain is a nature domain. Also, I don't think we're strong enough to handle that much power. We're a minor god now. Also, rain is awesome.

>>1381139
Rain is a relatively minor one to be honest which is why it would be pretty disappointing and OP hasn't really explained how domains work so the argument "it's too powerful" doesn't really work.
>rain is awesome.
Your opinion. I find such a focused domain and inflexible domain pretty mediorce.

>>1381164
>focused domain and inflexible domain pretty mediorce
>He doesn't know about typhoons, monsoons, raining so hard that the water droplets are like daggers, flooding the land
You need to be more creative.

>>1381164
>>1381170

Rain is indeed awesome. It can be used to create life and healing, but also be immensely powerful in battle. Over time rain can level mountains.

There's a reason many of the most powerful gods from "real" Pantheons are storm gods (e.g. Zeus, Thor, etc.). The rain domain has a lot of utility and power, and can synergize well with many other domains we may get access to.

>>1381164
Tell that to Noah.

I just realized that with our rain powers we can easily make the river town be overfloaded by it's own river.

>>1381184
Zeus was the god of the fucking heavens so you're talking about one of the more minor domains he had and in the Norse mythos power levels were stupidly swingy.
>>1381170
All of that could be done with the Wind or Water domain with more finesse.

>>1381228
Rain is just one step behind water. More followers means more power for it.

>>1381233
That I can't argue against but the main reason I want Nature is because Fertility and Nature have some bullshit synergy and adding Civilization to would make any cities that worship us ridiculously powerful.

>>1381253
We're taking steps. We can't be a life god that quickly. Also, it wouldn't be that fun if we did it too fast.

>>1381256
Well I agree there too but the reason I talking about this stuff is because I really don't play the entire quest as a Rain god.

>>1381277
We're a Fertility god foremost. It's our reason for existing and doing what we do. Rain is just more power for us. A tool to help us right now.

>>1381282
As long as we can agree on that. So should we offer extraplanar travel to the Humans of Urnodos? That's what they seem to really want.

>>1381282
Eh, I feel like rain can be a bit more important than that. Getting the rain domain with fertility puts us well on the way into getting waters of life/waters of creation powers - both of which will be highly powerful in our chosen planes (desert and islands).

Also, we can get plenty more domains over time. See how many those other gods had? We won't be limited to just rain and fertility, I imagine, but we can use them to develop a theme.

I also like that idea the other anon had of using our rain control to flood the river kingdoms (once we have enough followers/power)

>>1381304
Not really interested in it as anything other than a tool and Nature already covers water creation along with the creation of life as well as the manipulation of both and with fertility we could terraform the entirety of Yatash which is why I prioritize it.

>>1381304
Becoming power crazy is yawn tier. It's almost always the endgame of godquests. I really like what we are doing. Helping people, getting new followers, doing miracles, finding adventures and such.

>>1380620
Wait, if Kurhu's followers are doing secret rituals in Tho'Tch's territory, maybe we should...accidentally expose them. Get Tho'Tch enrage enough to attack Kurhu.

>>1381349
I'd be down for that.

>>1381349
Just one problem. Kurhu has the Shadow domain so exposing him will be harder than you think.

>>1381353
We don't need to expose him; just his followers. I think Tho'Tch will be able at least guess who put them there.

>>1381357
I figure we can visit Tho'Tch's priests and drop some hints as to the whereabouts of Kurhu's devotees.

>>1381367
Maybe say something vague like, "Where something burns, it rains." to show where the rituals are taking place.

>>1381335
>becoming power crazy is yawn tier.

I agree completely. I like how we are starting out as a benevolent entity and I am interested in how we'll develop over time including if we make non-"optimal" domain progressions to fit the theme and culture of our deity and his followers.

It's much more fun to play a character with conflicting motivations than just another power mad psycho.

>>1381357
Sounds like a good idea. I'd be careful we not play our hand too hard here, though, so we should proceed with caution.

Speaking of subterfuge, I'm worried about Phezan agents infiltrating our city and poisoning and/or destroying the Oasis. Do you think we may want to invest in some holy guards for the water?

>>1381381
>Do you think we may want to invest in some holy guards for the water?
It's why I suggested selecting a champion and a fellowship of defenders.

>>1381381
Why not grow some plants to protect the water? We are a fertility god after all so we have a damn good green thumb.

>>1381388
>STAND FIRM FELLOW CHERRY BUSHES!
>THEY ARE ABOUT TO BREAK THROUGH THE PALM TREE LINE!
>*gets hacked to pieces*
We need real warriors.

>>1381397
Trees can be quite tough. There is a species of trees that can survive forest fires, bugs, wood diseases, metal weapons, and they live long time. We can strengthen the cherry bushes to filter out any poisons and tangle intruders.

>>1381397
Lol.

I agree. Plant guards may be good long term, but for now our power is limited and we would be better off investing in human guards.

>>1381404
Fair enough. We could also make dryads from the trees and bushes.

>>1381397
I was thinking of carnivorous maneating plant that kill anyone not of our faithful or doesn't recite some prayer or something or something of the like.

>>1381411
How about anybody entering the our people's domain with intent to disrupt the peace.

>>1381414
Good enough.

I think we need a more defensible position for our followers. If they they are well enough fortified the other gods will have to use miracles to overcome them.

>>1381599
We as their god have to fight the enemy gods. The people fight the enemies' followers. That's why we need to create infighting among the war gods. They're too powerful together and individually.

>>1381628
But the more effort they expend and sacrifices they have to make to kill our followers the better. We need to only be able to stall them for now.

>>1381599
We could have moats made for our followers settlements.
They'd be able to control the only quick entry point and it'd be easy to pick off anybody who tries to cross the moats.
Fits with our water of life thing too.

>>1381646
For reference we don't have a water of life "thing", never did.

>>1381655
Thanks for clarifying. Our moats could double as rivers making the land more fertile, like our springs.

>>1381646
Also moats make us a bigger target for Phezen since he will attack any fertile land or large body of water.

>>1381646
We just need to make our people stronger than them. It's our key power. A lot of our enemies are weak with thirst and famine and the other Anon has it right. Moats will just make us bigger targets.

>>1381677
Damn. Maybe some type of wall would be a better idea.

>>1381693
Maybe we could make some type of super fruit or give the water in the springs some type of divine properties?

>>1381703
Why not turn the settlement into a plateau or mountain range? We could do it slowly over time too.

>>1381734
Like having the winds blow away the sand over time revealing the mountains the settlements sit on top of?

>>1381737
We are not limited to using wind since the only domain we actually have is Fertility. Rain is actually outside of our domain. We also need to limit the amount of water we use as to not attract attention from Phezen.

>>1381761
We'll probably be able to defeat Phezen before too much longer. He is the weakest of the war gods.

In addition to the mountain stronghold, we can have the wastes of the desert serve as our fortress. If we control all the water near our fortress/city any (mortal) attackers will die of thirst and hunger long before our population, if they can even traverse the desert in numbers at all.

>>1381783
Again, causing some type of infighting between the local gods would probably do us good. It at least weakens one of our competitors and gives us time to build up our position.
Ratting out Kuhur's followers and keeping attention away from us would do us good.

>>1381783
The problem with Phezen is that he some of the worst domains for us to go up against and because of them with with a little bit of planning on his part he and his followers will be able to wipe out the settlement even if we're stronger than him.

>>1381783
Ah, I don't think there's any mountains in the desert we can use. Well, mountains that are close enough. We need to do this stealthy with words, half-truths, and sabotage. After they're weaken, use full force to win.

>>1381811
>Thinking a god needs to look for a mountain.
Where do you think you are?

>>1381815
How long would it take for us to make a mountain?
Can we even do something like that stealthily?

>>1381820
>>1381815
That will be just a big sign saying "Here we are! Kill us!".

>>1381820
Do you notice the continents moving? Yes we can do it stealthily the only problem is time. And it doesn't need to be a big mountain. 1000 meters is good enough.

>>1381822
I was just posing questions that would eventually come up.
I'm still for spreading rumors and putting pressure on the followers of the lesser gods.
No reason to get our hands dirty if somebody else can do it for us.

>>1381829
In my mind the big risk of trying to stir up infighting is the war gods might see through it. We could end up drawing their attention more than if we just completely abandon their petty warring kingdoms to set up our own oasis city. That way we won't even be taking worshippers away from the war gods and would just be building our own power base while they fight among themselves.

>>1381858
I suppose. Stirring shit up before we even have to seems like a recipe for trouble.
We should just be focusing on doing right by our followers in light of possible retaliation.

>>1381858
Anon, they're war gods, They don't care even if we didn't take away followers. We're a new god and they will think of us as a threat. Would you like it if someone was taking away your friends just because he had stuff to give?

If you guys want to quickly acquire more followers than offering extraplanar travel to the Urnodos people could do it.

>>1381867
Obviously the war gods will hate us. That is readily apparent. I'm just trying to think about how we can keep that hatred from reaching a critical mass for as long as possible while we build our strength. They may consider us minor and be distracted by each other until we're too well established to be easily removed.

>>1381882
You mentioned this before. I suspect inter-planear travel is limited. We may be able to pull a great exodus for our followers, but we would give up our foothold on the desert plane to do that. We also don't know what limitations there may be on our young gods ability to hold open the doors between worlds.

>>1381882
I think that would better suited as a reward for followers once they pass.

>>1381882
Let's not open that jar. Who knows what would happen.
>>1381884
They hate us because we're the opposite of them. At best, they will see us as a cow who will give more life for them to kill. At worst which will be sped up if we directly attack, they work together to kill us or at least attack full force individually. We spread our faith while we distract them with infighting is the best way I think.

>>1381898
I think we agree on most things. I suspect the root of our disagreement here is whether or not we should actively promote additional infighting between the war gods and risk earlier discovery, or passively observe their infighting while trying to draw as little attention to ourselves as possible. There are pros and cons to both arguments and ultimately I would be fine going either way.

Does op live?

>>1381928
He does work.

>>1381928
>>1381931

Indeed.

I'm waiting for a consensus on the plan. If none is reached, I'll use the majority vote and compromise where it seems fitting.

So the most popular options seem to be
>Fortify our followers position (How?)
>Turn the local Gods against each other
If I'm missing anything, please tell me so we can reach a consensus.

OP, what timezone are you in?

>>1381973
It seems (to me) like the combination of the most popular plans would be to have us try to provoke infighting between the war gods (like Kurhu and Tho'Tch) while our followers head far from the river kingdoms to establish their own city around an oasis where we can boost their fertility and greatly increase our numbers in a few generations.

>>1382005

>mfw instead of reading Tentales i read it as tentacles.

>>1382701
I suggested the name Telantes at first. I guess OP change it?

alright it seems so far that the plan is to try and trick the three war gods to fight each other while we take our followers and fuck off into the desert and use our powers to create a bunch of oasis or just one huge area of fertile land for our people to live and thrive off of. Then using our fertility powers have our followers bang each other until we have more followers then any of the war gods so while we might not have as good of fighters as them we can outnumber them.

If so then can we use our powers to make it that our followers will birth twins and triples and what not more often then not and that giving birth won't hurt as much and that the mother is far less likely to suffer any birth complications? Also can we grab fruits and veggies from the other world where we have some followers and bring them here to help feed our followers?

also have an idea for an afterlife seeing how we're going to get a crap ton more followers and that it seems we're probably going to have to get into a few fights before we can claim this world for our own.

Since our domain is a tropical island that is completely untouched by civilization excepts for the marble ziggurat in the center that itself is cover in vegetation and the whole island is surrounded by the sea that itself is surrounded by fog a bit further out what I thought up would be that our followers would wake up on the edge of the jungle right before the ziggurat. If they chose to venture out into the jungle they will turn into a beast (they turn into whatever animal they saw us as) where they still can speak and have their mind. The idea here is "he who makes a beast of himself get's rid of the pain of being a man". Here they can explore the island to their heart's content or just mess around and do nothing all day. They would be able to tell other followers from just random animals that already inhabit the island from a glance so they'd never confuse one for the other.

If they chose instead to head inside the ziggurat they will stay human and find a large well lit city that seems far to large to fit inside the ziggurat they saw outside. The city made of the same overgrown marble the ziggurat is with only the roads ever really clear of vegetation. The city would be full of kitchens, gardens, theaters, and more for those who wish to pursue things like cooking, music, poetry, or whatever form of art they wish. The city would even have a arena for those who like more exciting forms of entreatment and many homes for those who wish to simply bang without the whole city watching. Those in the city and those in the jungle can freely walk back and forth between the 2 whenever they wish.

We'd be sitting on top of the ziggurat where we'd be surrounded by servants and entertainers to serve us and guest who would be whoever wishes to speak to us. I mean the whole reason we would open up the afterlife is to get rid of our loneliness, so why not swap stories and jokes with our people? And should we ever wish to be left alone we can send our will into the land so all who dwell their will know to let us be.

>cont.

>>1383352
also punishments for those that do something that we don't like.

If someone does something that messes with others who live on the island like attacking others or just doing something that makes them an asshole I also thought of something to make sure people don't ruin things for everyone else

minor/first offense
the person will find themselves in a small marble cell with a marble bench for them to rest on. the cell is well lit and they will stay in the cell until it is felt that they have served their time. Then one of the walls will open into a marble hallway that eventually fades into darkness. Once they walk into the darkness they will emerge into the jungle from a shady spot. If they turn around and search for the marble hallway they will never find it, only jungle.

Second/moderate offense
they will find themselves in a small cave with no way out and is poorly lit. They can still see but not that well. The floor is uneven and uncomfortable to be on. They will sit in this cell until their time has been served then the ceiling will open flooding the cell with water. When the swim up to brake the surface they will find themselves in the sea near one of the beaches of the island. If they search for the cell they were just in they will never find it.

Third/major offense
This time they will find themselves in a small cave again but this time the floor is still uneven but now also flooded to about knee hight. The water will rise up to the person's chin during high tide only to lower to knee hight again in low tide. The person will be constantly cold and wet and miserable. When their time has been served the cave will flood completely until the person blacks out. They will then wake up washed on to one of the island's beaches. The will not be able to find the cave they were trapped in.

forth offense/royally fucked up
The person will find themselves in a large cave filled with sharp and jagged rocks that will poke and cut the person. The floor is very uneven and the water (know only ankle deep) keeps the floor slick. During high tide the water rushes in and bashes the person against the rocks repeatedly while constantly pulling them under the water until low tide. They will stay here until being exiled on one of the ships of rebirth (will talk about them in a minute)

>cont.

>>1382713

It's a typo I hadn't noticed until I'd posted.

I'll update sometime in the next 1-2 hours, stay tuned.

>>1383358
Lastly rebirth
The idea here would be that once in a blue moon, at a sunset, a small armada of ships will sail out of the fog and beach itself on the island. We will then lead all those who wish to go from the ziggurat to the beach where the ships of landed. This time however the people following us will stay human. Once on the beach their will be a party that last until dawn. At this party both animal followers and human ones can interact and everyone can party long into the night (which we can make last as long as we want). Then once it starts to feel like the party is dragging on a bit to long we will the sun to rise. Then those who have grown bored of the island, those who wish to explore beyond it's shores, or those who just feel it's time to move on will instinctually move towards one of the boats and hop on. The fog will part and the ships will sail themselves into the opening where the fog will then close back around them. Those who served us well in life or served or entertained us on the ziggurat will be drawn to beautifully designed boats that will seat only them or a small group. Their voyage will be smooth and calm waters and the fog will be light enough that they could see and talk to other people on other luxury boats. People who nether impressed us much in life or did anything to earn our ire will be drawn towards more plain looking boats that can hold anywhere from a dozen to a hundred or more. Their voyage will be a bit choppy and the fog will prevent them from seeing or speaking with anyone on any different ship then their own. People who lived cruel lives will be drawn to crude and poorly mad boats. Their voyage will be as if they were sailing through a small storm. The sea will spray them, they'll get splinters from form the boat, and will not be able to see anything past the fog. The last boats are prison boats for heretics (who somehow still ended up in our afterlife) or those who got 4 marks against them on the island. These ships look like they'll sink as soon as they touch water and those trapped within will be chained in cages where they constantly have to fight to keep their head above water, the boat will give them splinters that will cause them to blaster and give them soars across their body. Their voyage will feel like they are going through a hurricane.

ok this is getting longer then I thought sorry bout that folks. One more I swear.
>cont.

Once the ships hit the fog the people sailing will start to fall to sleep where they will have on final dream and their bodies will slowly fade from the afterlife and be reborn.

Those on the luxury ships will have magnificent dreams and will be reborn into a life where they are most likely to live happy and full lives (most likely because you never know when some dick head god could ruin it). They will also be blessed for their past life and in this life be beautiful.

Those of the plain boats will have mundane or weird dreams and will kind of be born wherever they end up. They will not be blessed to be reborn beautiful but they will never be anything less the plain.

Those in the crude ships will more then likely be reborn in troubled homes and will more then likely be reborn ugly as a reflection of their sins of their past life. And finally those who were forced upon the prison ships will be reborn deformed and will act as a warning for any of our followers who have earned our ire to change their ways or this may happen to them one day as well. Also used to curse our enemies by having it so they will only bear deformed children.

Once all the old passengers fade from the ships they will turn around and head back towards the island where they'll always arrive at sundown for it to start all over again.

sorry of the text walls, didn't think it would be this long. As for me I'm going to pass out now. Night

This quest looks pretty good. Good thing I happened to bump into it because of this autist bumping. >>1383368

>>1383412
praise be he who bumps at good hours, even if he does so with walls of text explaining tertiary details we have no reason to be concerned with yet.

i really like this quest i am bumping it now

We can deal with all this stuff when the time comes... which is not now.

>>1383363
OP, are you coming back?

Bumping because this quest is well written and it'd be good for it to get more attention.

I still want to find the mortal who crafted our throne and have him in our realm. Let's be frank the ziggurat could use so improvements and every god, specialy one whose dominion is of fertility, needs to have a artist.

>>1383363
Meh it is just a minor thing. To be fair it gave me a good laugh.

>>1383460
Give some time to him. Op gives pretty good post so it's worth the wait.

>>1383477
True. I'd much rather have a slower but high quality quest than fast crap

These endless desert sands tire you, and your followers wander across the hellish wastes. This is not fitting, and this cannot go on. You need a grand citadel, an oasis the likes of which Yatash has never seen, a bastion for the faith. But where? A mountain, mayhaps? No, the rock wouldn't be able to sustain agriculture of the scale you've envisioned, and terraces are a foreign concept to the mortals of Yatash. Other concerns aside, you don't have the power to form a mountain within a generation without crippling yourself, and such a vast landmark would paint a target on your back.

No, the best place is the oasis where you first spoke to your prophet. Though it is small now, in time it will grow to encompass the whole of Yatash, and it fits the whole Rain God theme you've got going on. You appear to Goliht in a dream, and show her visions of the oasis you first appeared, of heavenly rain turning the dry sands to fertile soil, and of nature's bounty filling the land. You show her visions of tens of thousands of worshipers of Telantes, each of them thirsty, in need of fulfillment, of her preaching to them, and leading them to the growing oasis, where they can find peace. You speak,

> "This is what awaits Yatash. This is what I bring. Even now, the oasis thrives. Go to the four corners of Yatash, gather your people, come to the oasis, and be fulfilled. So says Telantes."

Before leaving her to ponder her dream. You have faith in your prophet, and you're sure she'll get the idea. In the meantime, the oasis could use a bit of precipitation. In a blast of thunder, you appear in the skies above the oasis. You lift your hands, and mutter in a divine tongue, at your command, the filthy dust within the clouds becomes the cleanest of water. You lift your hands higher, and clouds coalesce, you lift your hands ever higher, until a rain-cloud large enough to blot out the sun manifests.

The rain-cloud pulses with barely contained energy, and is full to bursting, yet you continue. You chant in your divine tongue until you can chant no more, and you lift your hands until you can lift them no more, yet you continue. Finally, when you simply cannot go on, you shout with passion and release, with a crackle of lightning and a bellow of thunder.

And it rains.

The rain is so powerful, so intense, so truly divine, that it shines as if it were gold, and the sands it touches are changed into the finest of soil. Exhausted, you sit on a cloud and watch. The cloud rains for thirty days and thirty nights, before it has no more to give. Even then, it has forever changed the desert, and rain will bless it each day. Already, the oasis spreads across the land at a rapid, soon its bushes, vines, and grasses will conquer the field. The palm tree shudders, and bears fruit, spreading its seed across the land. In a mere week, you see saplings sprout from the dirt, in two week's time they'll become full size. You have made paradise in the desert.

>>1383470
It fits perfectly. It was shaped by us. A marble zigguratt covered in flora is good. Fertility is primal and we reign in a tropical realm. We're not a god of fancy.

>>1383530

For now, it's only a few miles wide, barely enough for a small city, but that's all you need at the moment. Soon, the first settlers arive, and begin to build mudhuts, too awed by the palm trees to harm them. Every day they praise your name, and every day more arrive. By the end of the first month, each of your followers arrive, and every week, more and more hear of Telante's mercy and come into your embrace.

> ...

It has been a full year, and the oasis citadel has grown to sustain 60,000 of your followers, nearly a third of the western desert nomads. Many refuse to believe the legends, and many more are too devoted to the Gods of Yatash to move. The word of the oasis has spread, and it is only a matter of time before it reaches the attention of the War Gods. So be it, your power is one and a half times as great as it once was, and you are, if not their equal, powerful enough to put up a good fight.

Every day, you feel slightly more in tune with the rain, and if you can gather 140,000 more followers, you will gain the Rain domain, an invaluable boon to your efforts. In the year, several matters have come to your attention.

> ...

> Shortly after the birth of the oasis citadel, you appeared to Goliht in a dream and ravished her. When she awakened, her carnal juices covered the entirety of her hut, she flawlessly remembered the dream, and realized she was soon to be with child.

> Before it is possible to explain, one must understand the progeny of the Gods. Assuming a male God impregnates a female mortal, there are two possibilities, a Godblooded mortal, and a True Demigod. If a God procreates without expending power, its child will be Godblooded, as it only recieved the divine energy from the God's semen. If a God procreates and expends a significant portion of its divine power, the child will be a True Demigod.

> A Godblooded mortal receives some superficial traits of their divine heritage, an affinity for one or more of their divine father's domains, and lifespan twice as long as their mortal mother's, but are otherwise the same as any other mortal of their mother's race.

> Godblooded mortals are able to reproduce with normal mortals, but their divine blood thins with each generation, until they are indistinguishable from any other mortal, usually by the fifth generation. Godblooded are able to reproduce with other Godblooded, and their children will display traits of both divine bloodlines, unless they are of the same divine bloodline, in which case their children's divine bloodline won't thin.

> To be continued

>>1383530
>>1383535

> A True Demigod, or Demigoddess, contains a part of their divine father's power, and is essentially a God in mortal form. A True Demigod receives a few superficial traits of their mortal mother, Godlike power over one or more of their divine father's domain, a lifespan thrice as long as their mortal mother's race, and the ability to passively regain their youth if they spend extensive time in their divine father's Godly Realm. They appear to be an idealized version of their mortal mother's race.

> True Demigods, or Demigoddesses, are able to reproduce with normal mortals, though their children will be Godblooded. If a Demigod reproduces with a Godblooded mortal, the child's divine bloodline will be stronger than their Godblooded parent, but weaker than their Demigod parent's. If a Demigod reproduces with a Demigoddess, their child is a Demigod, or Demigoddess with traits of both of their divine bloodlines. If both the Demigod and Demigoddess are of the same divine bloodline, the child's divine bloodline won't thin.

> As Goliht's child is to be the first progeny of Telantes, it will be a True Demigod, (or Demigoddess). As a Demigod, (or Demigoddess) is no mortal, Goliht will be pregnant three times as long as she would be for a mortal baby, and it will take three times as long as it usually does for a Hu-Mohn to reach full maturity.

> If you were willing to, you could ensure that the child is male or female, determine its overall appearance, and to some extent, the focus of its divine powers, though that isn't natural, it wouldn't have any adverse effect on the child.

> ...

> Over the course of the year, a thick wall of palm trees, vines, and hardened mud has come to surround the perimeter of the oasis citadel. It's only as durable as a wooden palisade, but it keeps out desert predators, and is certainly better than nothing. If you wished, you could improve on it.

> Two of the five river kingdoms have gone to war over a succession crisis. Judging by their comparative power levels, it should last at least a decade if no one intervenes.

> In the far east, the desert sands tremble.

> You feel a weak but insistent tugging from Urnodos, and feel someone there may be trying to contact you. If it were one of the elder Gods of Urnodos, you would have no doubt whether or not they were trying to contact you, so it must be one of your mortal followers.

> Telantes, in light of this what would you like to do?

What you did there...i saw it.. and i aprove.

>Seek out who is calling us
We need a little break.

>>1383537
We should get a messenger-god underling to do this shit for us.

>>1383537
Well Golith seems to be fine for now and the kindoms going to war is a good thing to us. LEt the child grow naturaly we are a fertility god but mixing with ones sex isn't natural.

Also go check what is happening in Urnodos.

>>1383546
We can always ascend Golith's child in the future. If he/she proves to be worthy of a god responsibilities.

>>1383542
True god don't rest anon.

>>1383550
Well, we do. Didn't you see him get tired? Even God did rest for a day.

>>1383537
You doing good work senpai. I'm glad it didn't turn into the shithole my quest did.

>>1383537
Go see who needs our help in Urnodos and if possible keep watch over Golith in the meantime

Also let's not intervene with our childs appearance and what not, it would be better if the child looked like her mother to show Golith we're grateful for her work.

>>1383537
A short rest in our islands plane would be nice after all that effort. Let's see what the mortals are bothering us about. And help out for a short while.


Also,
> Don't intervene with the child

>>1383584
i support this

You go to Urnodos to discover it is the master craftsmen who built your throne who calls for you. He is being tormented with dreams from the war gods. They show him visions of his offspring drowning. And cherry trees a blaze. He calls to you for comfort and help.

In the next 2-3 hours, once I've finished my trek.

>>1383962
So how do domains work and how do they change?

I'm periodically checking this thread, and sadly, my mobile posting device is almost dead. I'll answer your question when I'm able to, thank you for your patience.

>>1384027
Thanks for a great thread

>>1383944
Sorry not trying to impersonate you. Im new, that was my 1st post, still learning how this works.

>>1384027
No, worries, OP. Do your work. We're fine.

>>1383537
let the kid grow normally. As in don't mess with them.

As for what to do, maybe help build the wall up a bit since we are taking off and then go see what the mortal from urnodos wants.

>>1384333
Changing to this

>>1384333
This seems to be a good idea.

>>1384333
Tossing support to this.

>>1384333
If we have time to build the wall and see what's up with that mortal from Urnodos I have no problem doing both. But I have the feeling that mortal is calling us "now."

I'm a little disappointed our kid will grow up knowing their father is a specific god, since I'm a sucker for heroes with unknown divine heritage coming into their own through merit and slow discovery of their powers, but I don't see any way for that to really be viable here. Especially with the demi-god option.

I don't see what wrong with altering the child.

>>1384486
This is our first kid. If we decide to do alterations later it'd be nice to have a baseline for what to expect.

I'm also really interested on how OP will build the character and what surprises may be in store for us.

>>1384486
Well there's no real need to do it. It's gonna be a demigod. It's gonna do fine.

>>1384515
OP was literally asking what cosmetic changes we wanted to make not how how much bullshit we want to stuff into him.

>>1384548
There's no need to mess with any superficial features either.

>>1384561
Then there is no reason not to.

>>1384568
I suppose there isn't. The kid is gonna take over two years to be born anyways. We still have plenty of time to make a decision.

>>1384571
I don't think we need to muck around with the kid. There isn't really anything we need to do.

I have a feeling we will be doing lots of time skips in this quest, seeing as our kid will take 40 ish years just to reach the maturity of a teenager.

I'm also wondering how young our followers need to be for us to get benefits from their worship. As a fertility god we can easily increase the verility of our followers, which means even without immigration we could technically hit the 200,000 follower threshold in around 5 years, but with most of them as infants or children.

>>1384486
nothing wrong, I'm just lazy

>>1384603
I'm guessing at least in the teen years for them to understand and truly worship.

>>1384620
That sounds right to me.

>>1384603
age is just that our cells lose there fertilit and verality and get wore with spliting so we can bullshit around wuth age we are just making there cells more fertile?

>>1384737
Your sentence is kind of all over the place there, buddy.

I believe we are just increasing fertility in "normal" ways: e.g. Greater chance of twins or multiple offspring, greater chance of conception, more easy birth with lower risk of health complications, increased hormone levels to make everyone horny, religious commandments to fanatical followers telling them to fuck all the time, etc.

I'm pretty sure we're not doing things like magically decreasing the length of time it takes to be born or grow up or anything like that. I imagine such alterations, if possible, would take substantially more of our power to execute.

Bumping in hopes OP will post soon.

>>1384756
>BY THE WILL OF TELANTES, GO FORTH AND FUCK EACH OTHER

I wonder what the mechanic for two gods or a demigod and god reproducing are.

>>1384996
Seeing how the children of Ares and Aphrodite, irl example, are Phobos, Deimos, Harmonia, Adrestia, and Eros/Cupid, it's a mix bag of outcomes.

>>1384975

I've returned and will be posting in 20-30 minutes, I've got something of a much smaller scale in store for you all.

>>1383992

I'll answer your question in my next post, which should be in the next 15+ minutes.

>>1384053

Understood, we were all newfags once, but next time, please specify. I'm sorry to have doubted you, but we're in 4chan, and cynicism is necessary to ensure in these halls.

>>1384603

Indeed it will.

>>1384996

This anon,
>>1385022

has got it right. In the event Telantes procreates with a Godblooded mortal, a Demigoddess, or an outright Goddess, I'll have you roll 1d100 to see how much of Telante's traits the child inherits, and another 1d100 to determine how many children result from the pairing. Normally I'd have you roll a 1d100 to see if Telantes managed to impregnate her, but he is a Fertility God, making pregnancy a given.
