Deity

Name: Ah’Tix

Theme: Flaming Eye motif

Weakness: A line marked across their idols can limit their power

Fear: Their creations discover their weakness.

Why Create: Accidentally! They didn’t mean to but it just keeps happening and they might as well run with it.

Initial World

Some other basic things about the world. It’s a spheroid planet that orbits a sun like ours. Nothing particularly different about the cosmology here. Whether there’s other stars/etc, I don’t know yet.

Chaos Card

The first two cards I drew were not playable so they were discarded. Next drew the Double Trouble card which means I had to draw two more and describe how they’re connected. The cards I drew from this were The Celebration and Crisis Averted. So upon the initial creation of this world, whatever life was made during it had a big celebration ritual with Ah’Tix to block future crises. How well did that go? 

Crisis Averted means I draw three more Chaos Cards and discard them. The 3 I drew were:

• The Goodbye - which is about a death of a character and their effects on the world
• The Spy - which would not really have worked early on, though we do already have a group (whoever was celebrating)
• The Wane - which is about a group losing influence or collapses, etc. Very apt here.

I think our unnamed people’s ritual went extremely well for them. It protected them from an untimely death, a deception, and slow collapse.

Now "The Celebration" does say "choose an established society" and I do not have any established societies yet, but I think what I will do is change the text of the card to include "if there are no established societies, make one now." This is the intention for a lot of these and I must have just forgot to include it on that card.

So who are these folks?

What we know about them is that they’re going to be ancient as they have been around since the world was first created. Looking at the palette I have “Ghosts?” so what these people are are sort of spirit-like creatures. In previous games I’ve had wisp-like things so I don’t want to do that again. Instead, they’re gaseous humanoid spirits. What are they called? Ethereals. I’m also going to add that they emerged from the mountains in J3. Technically what I defined here is the species and not really the society, but I’m just going to say they’re kind of loose for now. I can get into the structure of how these people live later. 

Now, what were they celebrating?

Like I mentioned before to tie it in with Crisis Averted, it has got to be some sort of prosperity ritual. As such I think it becomes a regular holiday for these people. The ritual itself took place on one of the highest mountain peaks giving them the name “Prosperity Range”. It sounds a bit like an overpriced “luxury” apartment, but alas. 

This was a very eventful first Chaos Card, I got to say.
