"Hm... that's... interesting." Kanako wasn't sure what sort of problems these rules could create for her in the future. As long as she got a faith base, however. "I do not know, Lord Primus. It may be easier if we band together." A subtle way of not admitting she couldn't form any life, powers or no.

"I point out that the creation of life is not compulsory in those laws. We could simply create a paradise for ourselves, although I would be the first to admit how boring that would be."

"As I thought..." Horakhty read the (to him) hieroglyphs once more, nodding. "This shall be... interesting... I for one, wish to create humanity on this world, as they were my worshippers."

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

"I'm screaming about the spiritual leaders one... Sigh... no consorts... And can we not make humans right off the bat? I'm tired of them thinking the world revolves around them... oh, and no elves yet. Let's not make spoiled elder children until the world is ready for them."

"Creating a paradise for ourselves would be... yes, boring." Even Kanako wasn't willing to go that far just for safety. She knew first hand how bad things could get in decadence. "I suppose I don't care about the race we spawn..."

It does not matter just yet. This entire world is a barren wasteland, frozen even in time. It cannot support life as it stands now... and so it falls to us to restore it to a habitable state.

"I see no reason not to. After all, add the Nile and this place would resemble my home of Egypt, which was perfectly habitable." Horakhty replied. "Though I suppose some forests and mountains would be nice... perhaps several seas..."

"It may not come to you as a surprise that I myself am partial to a world of metal and steel," said Primus, smiling somewhat for the first time, "but recent dialogues with... an associate... have shown me that here is a better way than a replica of my current body. Not a world of pure organics, and not one of technology alone. Rather, a fusion of the both, combining their strengths to create a new kind of life. But such an undertaking would require effort on all our part, and I am not sure if my body can handle the strain."

Tiamat's white head let out a blast of frost. "Polar ice caps."

"And is the spark electrical?"

"This is clearly going to require a great deal of debate. In any case, introducing life and changing the environment probably count under Great Change, so we must first decide what, exactly, a Fair Agreement is. It could be anything from a simple majority vote to some overly complicated system of councils."

"Jurisdiction? I am used to everything being under my jurisdiction. That is another thing we need to make agreements on."

"Perhaps it would be best if we all had 'territories' instead of 'domains'. So we'd all control the races of a particular region." She shrugged. "A good option, Lady Tiamat."

"If we agree on domains first, then we can have executive power over how ours is formed. Then it's only your fault, and your problem, when yours goes wrong."

"That seems an agreeable compromise," said Primus, nodding at Arceus. "But I am sure that we will still be able to rely on each other, and hopefully foster peace between our peoples."

"You know what I've always believed? Either we hang together... or we hang separately. Divided, we will fall. It is what nearly happened in the dawn war of my world, when the gods fought against the primordials who would have destroyed the world."

"My sentiment exactly, Lady Tiamat." At least she had one person who agreed with her line of thought, probably for different reasons, however.

"Of course." Arceus looked back at Primus. "There is no reason not to help one another. There is simply no compulsion to. Unless that Fourth Law makes you. But then, again, it's your own fault for finding yorself in such a situation."

He looked at Tiamat. "But we should have multiple views on matters. More options to consider means more chance of the optimum one being selected. Since our choices wouldd be near-impossible to reverse, we need to think things over carefully before doing anything. There's no rush. We have all the time in the world."

-How very... interesting. The old gods died in fire and flame, perhaps there remains a trace of their erssence remains, to be found and used by those with the appropriate power...-

"That's a good point! We need to make certain everyone gets an even share to prevent us all from trying to kill each other over it! Good call!" Tiamat knew full well that wasn't where his thoughts were going, but she loved doing that...

"Perhaps we should divide up the land as we see fit," suggested Primus. "Every god should recieve an even share of land to do whatever they wish with. That may be the best way to circumvent arguments."

Tiamat sighed. "We should make the world first, just so all the elements are introduced before we start fighting. Then there won't be any 'Oh, I didn't know there was going to be a river there. Can we trade?' or such... Although, given that this is the first structure we encountered, perhaps we should designate this as neutral territory. No fighting on pain of getting beaten into the ground by the other deities... have this be a place of worship, beauty, etc... just for the sake of where we can come to speak... unless we find grander stuff, then we can change the place... just a thought. Solidarity before division."

"I agree with that sentiment. But we need only add it to the tablet to make it binding. And we need a majority vote for that. There are thirteen of us, so we need seven Ayes."

I as well.

Akatosh placed one clawed forepaw on the monolith.
