>>793417

There's a possibility of future chaos from these alternate positions.

Currently, viable possibilities exist, that the giant turtle is perhaps, swimming in an endless sea around a flat plain, or perhaps around a larger flat earth. Mind-boggling indeed. Another possiblity exists that the great turtle was never hatched from its presumed egg, but still swims inside its hollow.

The giant turtle is a glamour for a cosmic beast that happens to be shaped like a turtle. Also known as a giant turtle. With reproduction spores that permeate the entire world, mutating life forms into baby versions of itself. So not an actual giant turtle, but close enough.

This turtle is special: it wanders the conceptual space of the void, where all things are possible (but it's mostly emptiness because the idiots inhabiting the local multiverse are not very creative and don't think very much), wrapped in a sphere containing a sliver of the space-time continuum of the universe it came from, allowing the inhabitants to think without warping reality. However, the sliver fades in the void, and so the people of this planet are slowly developing the power to reshape reality as they see fit. One of the first things they did was conceptualize a tower of turtles going down from their turtle.

Nobody knows if the turtle was sent on a mission in the void or is there by mere circumstance. All they know is that they and the turtles are the only things they have ever seen in this dreary void, with the ancient lamplights at the edges of their world to light the way.

Also, the turtle tower developed its own physical time-space continuum to exist as an 'infinite' made of finite turtles and broke off from the regular turtle. Then the turtle tower died due to lack of oxygen.

Hmmm

The origins of the turtle have been lost to time, all that is known is that the turtle is long dead. There are stories of mad men who have lept from the edge of the world with dreams of thier own kingdom on a bone.
It is also said that thete is another world beneath ours, on the other side of the shell. No one has ever dug deep enough to find out.

The implications of this cosmology:

Although the madman stories insist there is a world on top of every giant turtle, it is fairly unknown yet how the landmass was formed on top of each one. Without no one knowing the unknowable, it may be that when a giant turtle reproduced, its offspring that emerged from the spores on its back simply ate the "speck" that had been formed there earler, and then pooped new land formations and rested in that poop for a while, before heading out into the void or suffocating inside the poop from their siblings. No stories of such events exist anymore as the turtle has been long dead.

However, there are known theories about the curvature of the landmass, which may with more knowledge indicate the age of the turtle.

It's highly possible, that something has found out that there are ancient cavesystems that started to form on the edge of the world after the trutle had died and rotted away. These holes in the skeleton would cause the landmass to collapse inside the skeleton as the rotting progressed to form new kinds of elements under the shields of the turtles. Some of these elements are poison gases and liquids, that formed inside pockets of hardened dirt and rocky earth.

If a skeleton of a baby turtle was ever unearthed, it would be also bearing these elements inside. At this point, although it's truly unknown what such finding could result in, it should be observed if the turtles were able to swim in the element of water or rather climb on the mountains.

Mountain tortoises!

Its turtles all the way down to the molecular level!

Come on, it's a turtle, of course it's in the primordial waters of chaos. However, those primordial waters of chaos happen to perfectly match the characteristics of vacuum under technological and scientific investigation because the primordial waters of chaos *are* vacuum. Atmosphere sticks to the turtle because of gravity, just like normal.

Is the turtle male or female?

>>793641
You know, a turtle doesn't rule out the possibility of a globe. Perhaps, instead of a flat plate on the back of a turtle, the world is a ball balanced on a turtle's feet?

Create your own continent with resources.

Add common resources and one or two new secret resources you will only reveal later in the creation of world history.

Common resources in a rotten world are: nerve gas, pressurized spoiling gas, amoebic growth, bacterial mass, hardened biomass (think obsidian), insect colonies, domesticable insects, pus sea lifeforms, rot fibers (kind of hair like growth on the rotting flesh), turtle plate chitin, sterilizing liquids, tainted gems, precious metals, metal ores such as iron ore, mineral oil, acids such as sulphuric acid, tubular giant fungi (ship building mats).

This is a bad idea... can we veto this?

Continent - Palpasia

Special Elements:
Silver - one of the few things that can counter the rot. Extremely rare. Used by elites as weapon and armor lining to counter necromancer basics.
Uranium - Common but dangerous element, has little use on the Turtle except as a means of protecting boarders with incurable diseases and advancing evolution of bacterial colonies. Found in deep pockets of earth, constant hazardous risk to miners.

I would've gone for a weird world myself if I'd caught that vote. I also would've avoided hermaphroditizing the turtle, it seems like a waste of chaos we need for REALLY cool stuff. I mean fuck, we could've had oceans of blood filled with telepathic, symbiotic creatures that can be used to arbitrarily increase the intelligence of things through implantation. Who wouldn't want an intelligent slime mold trapped in the hell of self-awareness to point and laugh at?

Is there anything on this list that's not included in the common materials? I'd like for it all to be common materials.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

Secret materials I nominate:
#1, The spice melange, because making people do drugs to travel in outer space is always funny. Yes, complete with Arrakis sandworms, how else are we supposed to get more spice?
#2, Let's have space-time fatigue. Technically it doesn't exist, and that's what makes it useful. You can handle it like it's sand with the right tools, and it is usable for building non-euclidean geometry, particularly teleportation wormholes/gates over arbitrary distances. People usually use glassblowing techniques to make it into more durable and stable formations, but you can grind that stuff right back down into the normal sand consistency, and use it again.

Oh right, it needs a continent. Let's go for Antarctica, the coldest place on the turtle, with only scattered settlement on the edges because the center is an impassable mass of ice and dry ice that's too hazardous to try and walk in for anything with normal, organic, water based biology.

Area O, an icy continent, but where all the cold comes from surface weather, and not far beneath the surface there's readily available geothermal heat (and thus quite a few geysers, but the surface weather is cold enough that the water is ice and fog by the time it comes back down). Cold-resistant mammals.

Let's just amend a couple things about Antarctica then:
-The worms which make the spice are sea worms. They like the frigid waters full of rich fisheries and water that is as cold as it is possible for salt water to get. As in the original, the spice is the smallest of their life cycle stages, their eggs, and the adults rival the whales they swim with for size.
-Trying to ride an adult sea worm is dangerous and stupid for people whose mental powers haven't already been enhanced by using lots and lots of spice. The adults can go many places, but they hate leaving the cold and abundant waters of their home, and won't spawn anywhere that isn't similar. They have to spend at least half their time in a given year there (or in a good close approximation) or risk death by hyperthermia or starvation.

-The freezing non-sand probably makes this Antarctica the world's main source of icebergs. That is possibly related to how the fishing industry traditionally exports some of its catch.

A small continent in section M, Ossia.

A bony plate of the turtle's skeleton, pushed to the surface by the unfathomable mechanisms of the great turtle's decomposition. The surface is scoured by the weird boiling energies of the turtle's passage through space. What seems like sparse grass in the few sheltered valleys are colonies of osedax, bone-eating worms.

The harsh surface is pitted with pools and sinkholes bored by amoebic acid. In places they sink deeper and deeper, the underground a maze of twisting tunnels filled with a rich ecology of decay. In depths can be found sterilising liquids, amoebic growths and precious metals embedded in the marrow of the turtle itself.

Area N
Rotten

A Fungal Acid Continent.
Enormous tubers and carpets of fungi line lakes and rivers of hydrochloric acid. (The carpet fungi's digestive acid.) All life that flourishes here is adjusted to the acid, and is often acidic itself. Many tiny creatures abound here, perhaps most notably of which is the Ant Worm. Capable or reproducing asexually, these worms multiply extremely quickly. Ant worms can link their nervous systems, sometimes creating enormous, terrifyingly intelligent hives. A fairly docile species of giant beetle lives her. It oozes Acid from it's mouth parts and uses it's claws to burrow in the fungal loam. Near the center of the continent is the wound. A large lake full of puss and horrible creatures that live beneath it. It's absurdly deep. Around it, Chitinoous plate cracks ant rises around it, creating a circular and jagged range of mountains. Cruel winds bite outside these mountains, and push glimmering black dunes of razor sharp obsidian dust into ever changing shapes. Spore storms, and near the mountains razor storms, are very common here. All manner of Gems and Ores are common beneath the loam, and it only gets richer near the wound.

Area G
Continent Type: Continent

An area that has been sustainable for local individuals and wildlife in the past but whose environment has been quickly shifting to that of a rotten continent, causing mass migration and strife. Toxic fungi has been spreading at a alarming rate over the last aeon, the only way to at least slow its progress is by causing massive forest fires creating scars now mar the continent.

Wood is now one of the most valuable resources on the continent due to the fresh shortages, its use in building boats and its ability to at least ward of the tide of coming fungi temporarily.

Cold wind also blows up chemical slurries of nerve gas and acid through the ocean from the turtle's underbelly which devastate local fauna and coasts, further transforming the face of the continent.

Area C
Ancient Paradise

Long ago, when the life giving waters still sprung forth from Masayma this was a true eden. The creatures who lived here great and small, lived in harmony with one another. They all spoke with the same tounge and used the oily sap of the Dream Trees to vividly express thier inner selves; Thier bodies used as canvases for thier souls.
However... the mountain dried up. In a single day Masayma's rivirs ceased to flow. Though the rains still nourish the plants, life eternal became a luxury available to only those lucky enough to live near a lake or pond of Masayma's blood. Rivalries formed. The creatures great and small divided into tribes. New Toungs and cultures emerged. Wars broke out. The dream trees started being used as weapons. Bodies were now vessels of destruction. The creatures warped themselves into monsters so the could slaughter eachother.
Time passed. Societies were born, civilisations rose and fell. Scattered accross the continent are countless forts, temples, ziggarauts, castles,and other ruins. They are present in both the most remote and the nost populous locations. Some are repurposed, others avoided for fear of the terrible artifacts contained within.
For near 50 years now there has veen a relative peace. Three great kingdoms have an iron grasp on what little is left of Masayma's blood. The dream tree, abused for centuries, is nearly extinct in the wild. Most specimens that remain are painstakingly cultivated by royal and noble families.

Somthing terrible looms off the northern and southern coasts. Bizaar creatures have been caught, dead fish by the tens of thousands occasionally wash up on the beaches, and noxious disease ridden clouds can roll in without warning. The clouds alone would spell catastrophe for the people who live here if not for this continent's enormous variety of medicinal herbs and plants.

Area A

A tropical continent. Winds from the turtle's headway carrying rot-dust and the weird energies of the turtle's propulsion has made this continent covered in fecund tropical jungle.

The fast growing plants make penetrating the heart of the continent difficult, but it is laden with psychoactive compounds, fertiliser and rare medicines. The interior is actually a inland sea but most of it is covered by vast rafts of vegetation webbing together island spires.

How does life find its way there? It seems impossible that anything could defy the rotten influences of the southern hemisphere pressures.

On this continent life is a mixture of all, strenuous heat, moist, pressures from south, constant rainfall, deep waters flowing under the dirt mixing and mixing the soil, harsh vegetation and wildlife not forgetting the weird. The weirdness surrounds the jungles in pockets and clusters of freak conditions, phenomena and rapidly shifting environments of both animals and plantlife.

Looks kinda like a cross between a wasp, a mantis, and a scorpion. With 2 sets of wasp like wings on it's back with the upper pair being slightly larger then the bottom, 3 pairs of limbs being 1 pair of legs and the lower pair of arms with graspers on for hands/feet and the upper pair of arms having pincers for hands, and has a prehensile tail with a stinger on the end.

Naturally curious and always exploring so semi-nomadic with only a few permeant towns located at important (resource rich) locations or major cross roads to rest at. Need to lay eggs inside dead flesh for their young to hatch so tend to travel to the rotten part of the world to lay eggs since they can just lay their eggs in the ground instead of trying to find a large animal.

Featured racial traits:
Flying
This branch of intelligent mammals inherited their small ancestors' ability to fly over dangerous terrain and bend long distances straight through the skies. Flying civilizations are able to build suitably in places where land-treading races cannot. Flying messengers boost the communication and commerce of the late flying civilization.


Night vision
This race is able to see clearly in the dark. Seeing in the shadows and the dark somewhat stabilizes the civilzation in the imperial age as criminal ambushing is a more complicated feat.


Scatterdextrous
Having many limbs comes with both advantages and disadvantages. While some individuals are able to gain immense dexterity and hand skill with two pairs of forelimbs, the commoner is statistically less apt to control all arms efficiently in comparison to races with one pair of hands.


Weak
This species suffers from weak performance of muscles in the main pair of arms making thrusts, swings and punches ineffective in combat and industry. Mining and metal crafting suffer from negative appliers causing these arts to lag behind without extra investments.

Should more traits be added? A maximum of 2 more trait edits are available.
ID: d9d492 has a veto on all traits.

Honed Instinct
Centuries of evading predators have instilled a rudimentary understanding of the universe to predict attacks and find favorable items, increasing their luck by a significant amount. However, this makes them more paranoid than other races.

Typhoid Mary
Millenia of rot has caused this race to develop immunities to various diseases and resistances to new ones, at the cost of carrying the diseases in their bodies. Ranching and pet research takes a huge hit because of the high number of casualties from transmitted diseases, but disease resistance to the rot frontier is increased by 25%.

How about we add some innate reckless curiosity.

They may be weak, but they can overcome this through innovation!
... Even if the same impulses might get a few of them maimed or dead some times.

The species however, has been divided into four contesting confederacies. In the south, a violent and mysterious confederacy calling itself the children of the dead sun is a dreadful tribe of cannibals and pillagers.

In the west a prosperous agricultural and religious tribe stands populous and progressive. It doesn't have an umbrella term for its numerous villages and fortresses, but loosely is referred to as Westfall, Many Villages and Flytribes.

In the north and center lives a peculiar tribe calling it the Wingless. A tradition of inhibiting the tissue growth between the fingers forming the wings around the arms makes this tribe to lose its ability to fly makes its members qualified swimmers and better woodcrafters and even more, if they knew how to develop their technological provess.

In the East a union of three deep forest tribes have set on a quest to achieve material mastery. They've developed the first metal tools and live in a three huge stone and wood fortress cities. The three city-states are the closest thing to civilization on this continent.

Which tribe recieves the gift of your supervision?

The Three City Union.

The Wingless sound interesting if we're just watching them, but if we're actually gonna get involved in the civilization personally, the Children of the Dead Sun are in dire need of direct guidance. Cannibalism is never a positive trait for ANY civilization.

the wingless sound like they'd benefit greatly from us since it sounds like they need a little push.

The children. Gotta whip them up into something more than savages.

The wingless sound interesting. Trading the sky for knowledge is an unusual origin myth.

The Children have been given the supervision. Second choice regarding the tribe is the method of influence.

Since the Children have no concept of currency, the monetary method has been removed from the palette. Secondly, since the Children don't have a concept of statecraft, the People's Voice has been removed from the palette. Thirdly, the Children do not have an established mass culture, the cultural influence has been removed from the palette.

Three options left for the method of influencing:

Religion
Violence
Witchcraft/Science

>>820573
Witchcraft!

>>820573
Go for religion. Choose someone to be our prophet/voice.

I AM YOUR NEW GOD, MORTALS! AND I DECREE.....THAT Y'ALL STOP BEING CANNIBALISTIC DOUCHEBAGS AND FIGURE OUT A BETTER WAY OF LIFE THAT DON'T INVOLVE THE MURDERING AND THE CANNIBALING AND ALL THAT OTHER NASTY STUFFS.

>>820573
Witches and Warlocks. We are mysterious entity that grants great power to those who unlock our hidden secrets. Psychedelic smoke is optional

Witchcraft all the way!

Witchcraft/Science

You influence the course of Children's history by means of trickery, witchcraft, shadowplay and illusion, sorcery and secrets.

You control the flow of knowledge and technology among the Children. You’re opposed by Religion, the shamans and the shadow whisperers. You have a common playfield with the domestic opponent, witchcraft. On this playfield exists a dispute over which is the proper approach - faith or proven effect.

Your knowledge of the continent is limited to the southern peninsula. What anomalies, resources and opportunities lie undiscovered outside this observable field is out of reach with current efforts. Should there be more initiatives for discovery is up to personal bravery and resources spent by the tribal chieftain.

The tribe is currently in sloth. Parties are organised periodically to amuse the religious figures, the chieftain and the restless tribe members. Food storages are fluctuating. The two lakes provide most of the nutrition in the form of molluscoid harvest. Cannibalism is not public, but a silent agreement over royalty having the right when famines strike exists. There is an option to focus cultural studies over any of these above-mentioned objects at this moment. (Two lakes, Molluscoid harvest, Parties, Cannibalism, etc.)

focus on cultural studies?
See how the tribe lives it's day to day and see just what exactly they know of witchcraft/science to see how we can improve it.

Great development requires a great food supply. Focus on improving the harvest.

They're fine for food even if it is a bit unstable. Focus on cultural studies.

>>820831
Gathering and eating each other occasionally with no agriculture is not fine on food.

>>820761
Focus on improving the molluscoid harvest, as well as possibly finding other forms of food and nutrition from the lakes, anything to provide a more sustainable food supply and to prevent the people from resorting to cannibalism during shortages.

Cultural studies on molluscoid food source should be completed in eight months.

Should the laboratory be upgraded to level 2 meanwhile? Currently the toolkit consists of medcine, mushrooms, wooden plates, containers, flints and wooden sticks.

might as well

Oh didn't spot this had updated. Glad I checked the catalog.

The guided witch doctor finishes his study with the molluscoid food source.

Molluscoids are small tentacle creatures that the tribe uses as a easy food source. Loads of them wash to the shores of a nearby lake.

Umm... the autopsy of a molluscoid specimen reveals it's slimy and grows some sort of speck on it... yuck.

The research project wound up to conclusions that the molluscoids are rich in consumer's strenght gain nutritionally, but cause a lack of soul creativity. It seems like the whole tribe is in a state of sleepwalking, because of foul nutrition to the soul.

The witch doctor has abandoned consumption of molluscoids entirely.

Research agriculture.
Collect wild fruits nuts and grains, care for them in the earth and see which grow best

Furthermore, attempt to cultivate the earth by infesting various trees and grasses with mushroom spores and nutritious insects, see what sticks and what can be mass-harvested.

>>824122
The witch doctor must examine means to add soul to the molluscs. Cooking with oils, herbs or spices could perhaps add soul. Or perhaps it is the lack of ritual meals, which bind communities together? Consider these possibilities, but continue planting of seeds for alternative reliable food sources.

All they need is a Sax and Funk Guitar.

The witch doctor is working her ass off with different kinds of local crops. It's too early to say yet, if the agriculture is going to be a wide-spread thing, but some tribe members are starting to give their attention to her business.

Now that the seeds have been selected, they must be given a home to thrive.

Tools to work the earth must be made.
In the absence of metal wood and bone will do.
Make a tool to lift up great rows of earth so that many seeds can be given shelter. Also make a movable crate, perhaps with a wheel, that can be used to transport earth over a moderate distance so trenches can be built to divert water from rivers and lakes to the tilled land.
When it comes time to harvest, there should be a secure, dry, weatherproof building and plenty of clay pots to store everything.

Perhaps the garden is a curiosity now, but once the people see the vast bounties of food that can be made, it will surely catch on.
You are a warrior people after all, and to become a strong warrior one must eat.

Successfully combining these methods the tribe has learned the invaluable technology of Agriculture!

Should the witch doctor sell her precious hours of leisure and social life to

Psychotropic Mastery
Irrigation Systems
Crop Rotation

from the Agriculture Technology Tree

or

Earth Prospecting
Advanced Flint-based Weapons
Heavy Ballistic Engineering

from the Stone Crafting Technology Tree

Agriculture. Food is more important!

In about 48 months period you manage to refine the best food crops that nourish the many aspects of the body. With only minimal support from the tribal chieftain you have built an experimental farm that irrigates from jungle ponds near to the village. Half of the food requirements of the village are fulfilled by these few food crops that can be harvested around the year. Because of this the villagers are more relaxed, willing to raise more kids and add to the population growth.

After a few months, a visitor claiming to be an amasinery from the grand city of East Nes. He has been sent to negotiate peacecraft.

Soon after the appearance of this weird person, the witch doctor gets the task directly from the chieftain to make this amasinery to disappear by making him first drunk from her miracle medcines and then take his weapon. He doesn't elaborate what happens if the witch doctor disappoints him.

Screw him, keep the emissary alive! You cannot handle a war YET. You're growing numbers at a multiplicative rate, keeping the peace while your army swells is the key to conquest.

"You have failed to complete the task given to you by Me, witch doctor."

"It would have been most unwise decision, I felt I would have risked the misfortune of war upon our tribe if I had done your bidding, my chieftain."

"For this treason, warning the prey and releasing him from his encagement you are EXILED FOREVER!"

"Such is the price to pay for only serving all the best years of one's life this Chieftain! I am gone!" Maybe the city of East Nes has stronger rulers. I will make sure that the good people of this village will feel no despair because of a whim of an unwise chieftain.

Agriculture Tree.

Using the Psychotropic mastery from said tree, concoct a brew that spirals the imbiber into a permanent mad delirium.

Agree to the chieftain's proposal, but then spike His drink. He seems to be overly paranoid already. A public demonstration of how "Truely" insane he has become could convince the elders to forcibly replace him.

Never mind then.

Male or Female?

Female.

>>824858
Female. The witch shall raise children herself if she need must, coupling only for a few hours for procreation. Much safer to live alone till our disciple can stand up the chieftain.

Male. Maybe the chief will be less bossy this time.

you know what? I was gonna say male because everybody always chooses fuckin female on these kinda quests,
but you know what

I choose female

What was the name she was given at birth? Do we have a special purpose or fate for this early scientist, or was her name a random occasion? She seems to be experimenting with pictograms when others her age are curious about the opposite sex.

>>824995
Her name is Icon, for she shall be a living symbol of her peoples self-improvement. Which I guess would make us an Iconodulist but we're not running a religion so that's not important.

We should grant her the inspiration for a symbol by which she and those who know her shall recognize our touch upon the world.

Icon finds out that agriculture is not what she expected, but something quite freaky. No further progress has been made in Advanced Crops. Icon may have to find someone who has taken up the art of farming to progress over these issues of weirdness, like crops reacting to her touch with fluoroscence. Nothing is to find nothing about this in the spoken lore of the former witch doctor.

Icon manages to talk two youngsters into her apprenticeship. Vrolic is interested in getting a botanic bing and the other, the female, known as Beelou, is interested in learning and tasting the art.

Set researching the advanced crops to Vrolic then. Have him learn from the farmers.
