Alright, we have liftoff! I've jump-started life on one world. Now all you other guys can start screwing it up with your death, strife, conflict, undeath and other shenanigans. 
For the record, plants came first followed in quick succession by insects and then small mammals, reptiles and fish. In keeping with our rule that the older things are the strongest, these critters will prove to be nearly impossible to eradicate completely. Imbued with magic, dragons are the first sentient race. They will likewise prove to be more powerful and resilient than most anything that follows them.
The Empyrean's been at it all week, so now he's gonna take a well deserved day for R&R.

I'm game, this sounds quite interesting. If I am in, let me know to post to the RG and IG thread.
The clock ticked even before it began to tick.
The void bellowed. The black foldings of time and space heaved and fluttered. A black storm moved across the horizon.
The dreamers eye opened. Saw nothing. Closed. An ear listened. Heard no one. Ached. Slow, black waves on a black beach, whispered softly in, whispered softly out.
A tiny hand flailed breaking through the soft cocoon of sleep, beyond the reality of the dream.
The dreamers opened. Saw nothing. Closed. Sleep was already ages old. Yet even when the dream grew weak, the eyes stayed firmly shut, clinging to sleep, dreaming away the unmeasurable ages.
The clock still ticked unheard and the dreamer grew. Even the child of the void cannot derail the mechanics of time.
The childs of the void eyes opened. Saw nothing. Yet remained open.
“The memory of the dream is weak, it must be rescued from the dark places in the mind, must be brought to the light, cherished and tethered like a straying child.” The child of the void imparted. The stars were dead as if they had never lived, the wheel of time was pitted, its very cradle served as its tomb.
The child of the void roared like thunder and was answered by the imprisoned soul that yearned for a mother it had never had. The air stood still to listen, the water ceased to flow, and the rock grew soft and malleable. Darkness shuttered the dreamers eyes yet the dreamers vision was clear. This was a new vision, not the closing of a door, but the promise of a million doors to open.
The dreamers eyes opened. Saw. Stayed open. Yet the dream flowed on. “Dream. Determine. Resolve.” The dreamer whispered to himself.

The Empyrean actually started time, and I've even had it listed in my God's portfolio since the begining. As the sun rises and sets and the planets complete their orbits around it, it marks the passage. I'll happily relinquish it to this fledgling god though. I've got plenty of other stuff on my plate.Kaodi said:
What we really need though are some nature gods to start managing the earth and its myriad processes.

Eh. I figure the Empyrean handles the mechanical aspects of the dimension of time, but Gli'jar's Dreamer is more focused on the subtle nuances of prognosticating the future.
Hm. Maybe I should redefine my God as managing the cosmic forces and elements; time, gravity and the heavenly bodies along with the five basic elements (air, earth, fire, water and magic).
On a side note, does anyone else find it creepy that the God of Death and Entropy created mankind and then gave them fire, metalworking and magic?
