The Beginning

[Great Thrash]

No computer screens that I know of...but plenty of crystal, and folks to fashion it!

I am Thrash, the soul of the living planet! Welcome to the Pantheon Facet. Let me know if you need anyone stepped on, magma thrown, or earthworks thrown up in an instant!

[Yerkan of Elish]

I spring ghostlike out of the ground and gesture extravagantly as more newcomers enter the portal.

"This is Ptah. Another that I have found on my travels and invited to journey to the Pantheon Facet.

And I divine that this is Athena, whom I did not invite. She is a goddess of reason, wisdom and purity, such as it is.

Welcome to both of them. Ask, and I will most likely open my stores of knowledge to you."

I nod, and vanish back into my studiolo.

[Steepest Durin]

AIiCE, I am drawn ta you immediately as ya enter. I snap I's goggles down over I's eyes an' move around ya curiously, takin' notes here an' there. If you need craftin' done, I'm yer maggot!

[AIiCE]

I preen under all the attention.

[Athena]

I am Athena, Goddess of Olympus. I entered the Plane of the Diamond Pantheon as my father, Mad Arcane Zeus was nearly destroyed by the portal. As he was fighting his way through the portal, I emerged in a violent fashion from his head as it was split by the portal. I entered this violent world fully armored and ready for battle. I was able to escape unscathed, but both my mother Rhea, and my father were wounded past the point of repair, and thus reason was born of chaos. My existence here, in the plane of the Diamond Pantheon will be one of revenge for my parents, and one of using wisdom and knowledge in order to guide myself, and anyone else who is willing to trust me, to victory, whatever that may mean.

[Grey Aides]

I hope you will all consider...joining...the Council...

[AIiCE]

What is the purpose of your Council?

[Grey Aides]

The Council was born...on the Plane of the Mountain...

Together, with pooled...resources... they could better meet the challenges of the world...

Furthermore... if together the deities of different credos agreed that someone acted....outside of the best interests of the Pantheon as a whole...they could band together and punish even the most...potent...of gods.

I believe...you join the Council simply by saying you wish to join...you will be given access to the Council's Wave...

[Great Thrash]

It works best if it represents the interests of many different sorts of gods!

[Ptah]

I walk through the portal into your midst and stop, utterly agog. For someone who has spent every second of three millenia walking, it is strange enough to stand still. But to be able to stand still in the presence of the gods is beyond anything I have known. Eyes wide with wonder, I gaze about at this strange, beautiful new landscape. In my mind, I can envision its creation and evolution. I can see how the denizens of the Diamond Pantheon have shaped it, and how it came to look as it does now.
I look up at Great Thrash tentatively.

"Hello?"
