Building a Society

Contributors: Nu Kua

Once the world came to be, I decided to populate it with human beings. There are two methods I will share with you. Both are fine to use, but you will have different outcomes in the quality of your beings.

Ingredients:

- Three parts clay

- One part water

- Yang extract

- Yin extract

- Twisted rope (for the second method)

Directions:

Method One:

1.) Wet and knead the clay until it is pliable enough to form figures. If the mixture is too wet, add in more clay. If it is too dry add water one tablespoon at a time.

2.) Shape the clay into the desired shape. I made mine look a little like me, but instead of dragon tails I decided to give them two legs to match their arms.

3.) Infuse half the figures with Yang extract and the other half with Yin extract.

The resulting human beings are very intelligent and have a higher quality than the second method. However, this method is very time consuming. 

Method Two:

1.) Head out to your closest river with the twisted rope.

2.) Place the rope into a clay embankment.

3.) Twist and roll the rope into the clay.

4.) Pull up the now clay covered rope and give it a gentle shake.

5.) The clay drops that fall from it should form humans once they hit the ground.

6.) Infuse half the batch with Yin extract and the other half with Yang.

I'm sure you'll notice this version yields a different quality of humans. They are as functional as method one humans, but of lower quality and intelligence. The upside of the rope method is that the process is much more efficient.

When you let humans from both methods mingle, you'll notice the social hierarchy that forms. This is natural and to be expected. The Method One humans will be a ruling class of sorts. They will be wealthier and have a higher social status. The Rope Method humans will make up the "common-folk" of the society. 

While the humans are self sufficient, it doesn't hurt to exercise your godly powers to protect them. Sometimes divine intervention is needed to shield your creations from a vengeful god or spirit.
