Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nephtys" data-source="post: 3364863" data-attributes="member: 31780">Thef'chu Nefut watches for a time, musing to herself at how quickly the world changed, how quickly the wisdom and power of the Created grew, both her own and the others. In mere moments, from her immortal viewpoint, they would have learned enough of the world to impose their own changes upon it. That would give rise to pride, and pride would make them doubt. In doubting they would turn their backs to their Gods, and in so doing they would in death belong to her. The faster their wisdom grew, the sooner that time would come. Knowlege, Education, Tolerance... Poison. Civilization would bury all Gods, except the one who held the realm of Death. For even those who denied the Gods would pass into her keeping. That would be their Fate.ooc: She's using the Fate domain to reinforce the tendency (seen in the modern world, and likely to appear on Cradle) that when people learn to think for themselves they will begin to question the world around them. This will cause the eventual occurrence of an Enlightenment movement among the educated classes with agnosticism, religious indifference, atheism and general religious tolerance as consequence. She doesn't intervene very actively, but just subtly nudges History in that direction.Her own hordes of Goblin slaves would not need much knowlege and education to be useful. Only the best and the brightest would ever have a chance to gain the wisdom necessary for sceptisism. And those few would still be bound to their people by loyalty and self-interest, being, beside her faithful clerics, the leaders of their race. Bea'rals gift would help to make that so, and the losses in faithful would be compensated by the incresed survivability of her species. But just in case, if it seems that Bea'ral is making a cult for himself amongst her people she makes preparations to call upon her faithful to wipe them out. Magic had it's place in the social order, and change could be allowed to an extent. But Chaos must never be allowed to take root.ooc: social organisation.-Slaves or not, ignorant or not, they would still need some basic tools. Fortunately knowlege, when spread widely enough, was easy to steal.She observes the elven cities, their tools and their weapons, their farms and their workshops, and passes that knowlege and those skills on to her Goblinoid people, twisting it to serve her purposes. Soon vast fields of perverted grains would spread across the grasslands, disgusting of taste but nourishing and as fertile as weeds. Soon the forests of the world would begin to feel the axe, and the very earth would be raped as plunging shafts probed her interior in an unlimited greed for metals. The booming populations, and the better equipped legions, would strengthen the Goblinoids grasp upon the world.ooc: Beginning the progress towards civilisation, at a lower level of technology than the elves but with a lot more ruthlesness. The population increases, and will continue to increase a lot for a long time.</blockquote>
