Pacian spoke, still watching Trovat. "These Sirona are taking well to my teachings." He paused. "It is a shame that their environment limits their development to such basic levels." He shook his head, drifting back to Zemina. He rose a hand, pointing it at the moon. "Here they will find themselves far more challenged."
With a jarring snap, a substantial portion of the nomadic Sirona were thrown upwards, traveling on a wisp of godly energy to Zemina. Their bodies shifted as they travelled, and as the light faded, they found themselves a different people entirely.
Thoughts began to seep through their leaders, ideas of a greater being and the gifts he was bringing them, warnings of the danger this new world might pose. The vision came across less as words, and more as feelings, a sense of mightiness and sheer presence, and the ideas it sent forth. They would know, and they would survive. They would recognize the identity of the spiritual being that was guiding them, looking out for them, and would feel safer for his existence. They could tribute his might and should pray to him for protection and safety. Then, eventually, they would thrive. They would be Sirona no longer, but Vedorci instead.
"These changes and challenges will temper them into forming greater societies than they could otherwise have dreamed."
A chunk of the nomadic Sirona population are relocated to Zemina and renamed the Vedorci. (-1 act)
Their bodies undergo a few changes, adapting for breathing air rather than the weird hybrid air-water-sphere thing on Trovat. Their anatomy changes to be less piscine, with more bipedal-lizardlike elements instead, focusing more on the limbs they already possessed. They are still covered in scales though. (-1 act)
Their hands develop dexterous fingers, and their coordination improves enough for them to best make use of this advantage. Their feet get distinct toes too but they aren't as useful. (-1 act)
They are blessed with ingenuity and drive, seeking to explore, understand and eventually dominate their environment. Although not exactly an overwhelming force on their racial psyche, it becomes an important part of their psychology. (-1 act)
Their leaders receive a basic vision from Pacian, and are encouraged to begin worshiping him for protection and guidance. (-1 act)
