Twentieth Day

Twentieth Day - Nasct and Hierarchy, the last of Creation
'''Gairacht takes water and metal and makes Nasct, a substance that flows like water and looks like metal. Whenever lightening strikes Nasct, it holds the electricity rather than release it like water. Only metal can transfer the electricity from it to other things. He takes this new element and makes lakes close to the Myrth cites.'''

''The mercurial eddies and pools of the Nasct cause the reclusive, thoughtful Myrth to come forth in wonder, collecting it in rock bowls to bring back to their cities and mix into their carvings and structures, letting it flow into pools and mix with red dirt. Many walls take on a silvery, glittering, liquid appearance as they become visible to those who cannot see the color red like Myrth do, and many are amazed at the mirror appearance that the walls have. Seeing themselves for the first time, many creatures hurriedly rush to the walls and gaze at their strange, funny (and slightly warped in the reflection) shapes with delight.''

'''Slèibhtean instructs Reannag to offer the Hierarchy to the Treas. Overall achievement forms the basis of the Hierarchy, with Councils serving as checks and balances, where one's leadership capabilities do not match their proficiency in the field that elevated them. For example, if one becomes a great Healer, she may rise in the ranks, but her suitability as authority must be subject to the review of proven Leaders within a local Council. Those who do not rise within the ranks must never go without basic needs, but the indolent receive little more than that.'''

''Reannag declares these Slèibhtean truths unto the Treas, and the Treas heed her word, those passed down straight from their great goddess, with great celebration and ritual. So the Councils of the Treas rise up to rule with civil logic, and they would be known as just leaders through the generations, rewarding those who excel, and lightly supporting those who do not.''
