Message: <blockquote data-quote="periculum" data-source="post: 2468313" data-attributes="member: 33253">Tocho then speaks, rather out of character for such a conflict oriented god: "Perhaps we could take a page from the lord of flame and magic and create some kind of binding document, the laws of nature if you will, infused with the power of a multitude of deities and thus unbreakable by any deity acting alone. The first amendment could settle the issue about involvement upon the mortal plane. personally i do not enjoy the idea of banishment from that realm of existence, but I would be willing to agree to limit my presence there. I propose we make ourselves unable to manifest the entirety of our divine being on that plane, therefore we would have to make do through avatars and followers. Our powers would still hold true for that realm, we just couldnt go there ourselves.I also propose a Free Will Clause, thereby granting mortals a level of independence from the gods. Deities would no longer be able to directly control the actions of mortals, nor force a path to be taken by a mortal. Though deities could still make suggestions or place obstacles for mortals, they can not force a course of action. For example, I give a divine edict to a mortal, that mortal will have the ability, though maybe not the heart, to refuse my edict. I may then make life unbearably harsh upon the mortal for refusing to do as I bid, but I can not force him to change his mind and everything I place before the mortal has to have several ways of being approached/overcome by the mortal, not just the way I want." As the other deities stare at this uncharacteristic move by the god of beasts, he actually agreeing to relinquish some of his power, he scowls and wrinkles his muzzle in a snarl. "Just thinking out loud." OOC: neither of these articles would really impact gameplay in a big way, only if someone clearly oversteps themselves. But they will provide nice storyline and a reason for balance. IC: Meanwhile, a lycanthrope discovers the king of Anlan is actually a vampire, risen to power despite the rites of the glittering path being as commonly practiced here as in other human settlements. The lycanthrope reveals the kings identity and attempts assassination, which fails in the death of the werewolf. News of the vampire king ignites a civil war, but is quickly put down since most of the military brass already new of their undead master. Thus an empire born in fire and steel turns cold as the grave.</blockquote>
