The Spring Summit
Year 1, spring (⅗), Next summit in 5 rounds
The Warden looked out over the world from his tower, standing on the balcony over everything, in the council room outside of the Twilight Castle. The civilizations of the world were thriving, and it was now time for the first Summit.
Turning his back on the sight, he went to the center of the room, activating the panel at the center of the room, summoning the leaders of each civilization that had so far set roots on this world. The mechanical BZ-Y02, the dreaded Nachillim, the bouncy Slimes, the curious Kajit, the giant Dracorex, the lizardlike Kyhh, the lonesome Mirarans, the quick-footed Nemeri, the mischievous Hobgoblins, and last but not least, the latecomers, the joyful Whalewing Tubehorns, who were eager to fly out and start in their new home.
The leaders of each civ stumbled, startled, out of their portals, looking around at the others and finally settling on the Warden.
“Welcome to the Summit!” The Warden boomed, amplifying his voice to fill the large, circular chamber. “It is here that each civ will join together and share their knowledge in a great book of the world, and where we can resolve any issues that may arise on the planet. Here you can make alliances, and any alliances and secrets will be exposed.” He looked around the room. “Here, you are under a compulsion to tell the truth, so that we can trust what is said here, as we need to be one to face the coming threat.”
“Work together to decide what is best for the world, to peacefully resolve conflict and make alliances here. Everyone here is prevented from attacking the others, and you are encouraged to work together, but ultimately what happens here ultimately resides with you.” One of the walls began glowing as the Warden spoke, and he gestured towards it. “You may also decide together what benefits the seasons will give you, courtesy of The Twilight.”
“And finally, a gift.” Into the room walked a contingent of dark, winged wolves, with horns growing from their heads. (basically, my profile picture, maybe a little more wolf like) As they walked in, the leading one spoke.
“You have each worked to start your civilization as best you can. As such, we, the Twilight Guard, have decided to give you a gift.” Lifting a clawed paw, a burst of flame rose above it. “Each of you now has the basic use of fire, to warm your civs at night and help you —”
A portal opened, and a Disturbing spoke. “sMeLtLe ThE MeLtLe!!!” Then the portal closed.
Startled, the civs leaped back, but the Warden shrugged like it was no big deal. “Yes, thank you Disturbance. This fire will allow you to be able to smelt down and shape any metal you find, if you are able to do figure out how to properly utilize it.”
The Warden walked away from the center pedestal. “This time is yours. The question is, how will you use it?”
Hey everyone! Welcome to the first summit. Here, you can communicate with other civs, and what they have discovered is now known to you (I will make an organized book in a separate dm thread. Please do not post in it, it will be up before the next round is). You can also form alliances with other civs without having to have met them in game. You may do as many actions as you want, but they can only relate to communicating and interacting with the other civs. Once everyone has voted, I will end the summit and make/post the actual round 3.
Another thing I will be making is a picture of the map I can show you, with land controlled by certain civs marked in their map colors. Should be made soon hopefully, and will be updated every summit
The first NPC civ has been introduced. New players can now join for as long as the summit lasts, and they can either take over an NPC civ, have me randomize a civ for them from currently made (including unrevealed) sapients, or make their own kind of race and civ.
The final thing you can do is vote on the buff that will apply the next round. Choose wisely!
- Power buff (+10%)
- Defense buff (+10%)
- Intelligence buff (+10%)
- Agility buff (+10%)
- Charisma buff (+10%)
- Mysticism buff (+10%)
- Double Roll (I roll twice for you, then roll a d6 to determine if I use the higher or lower roll)
- Pop Growth buff (+25% pop per round)
- Neutralizer (all buffs and debuffs are disregarded, but only for the next two rounds (instead of five))
- Wilds (double chance to encounter plants, animals, or new sapients, and you can explore 2 tiles with one vote)

Edit: yes I voted because I did a randomized vote for the NPC Civ
Edit 2: TLDR; place to make alliances for future and vote for universal buff before I make next round. You now also all have basic fire control
