Live Events/The First Seed

> *Greetings. My name is Rebecca Freyja O'Rourke. I am the Rose Queen of the Daughters of Gaia, the voice of healing, growth, and prosperity for my people.*

> *Mother Gaia has given us a great blessing; a new world that is almost ripe for life. Pontus is a watery world far from Earth, with only a few islands standing above the waves. It is hot, it has little oxygen, but it is a seed from which will grow paradise for future generations of our people. The Daughters of Gaia are still in the springtime of our history, and the transformation of this world will demonstrate the righteousness of our crusade to spread life throughout the universe.*

> *Will you help us spread that life, traveler? It is no easy task, to be an eco-poet. Are you up to the challenge of planting the first seeds on the surface of Pontus, and allowing them to bloom?*

The First Seed is an epic live event that runs occasionally, usually starts at 12:00 AM UTC on some Wednesdays. During the event's runtime it can be reached by tapping an icon of Pontus underneath the icon that allows player to Fast Forward worlds. Tapping the event icon would take to directly the event planet, an unterraformed Normal mode Pontus with different priorities than a normal Pontus would have. The world is played with the Daughters of Gaia faction.

Four milestones can be reached in the event, each giving different rewards. This event starts with the Culture settings that comes with the Daughters of Gaia. (30% Ecological, 15% Transformation, No Industrial Economy, Soletta construction cost halved)

## Variants

This live event available in different variants.

* Normal: A regular Normal difficulty game.
* 24 Hours: Complete event within 24-hour timer.

## Milestones

Milestones can be viewed by clicking the event icon (in this case it is Pontus) while player are already on the event world.

This is also the place where collect the rewards after have completed the milestones.

### Room to Work

*Before we can truly begin to cultivate this world, we must have room to work. Lowering the sea level will give us new land on which to build, but be careful: the steamy skies of Pontus hold vast quantities of water vapor. If we try to cool this world before we master the seas, we risk drowning what little land is left.*

Goal: Decrease sea level to 2,000,000 cm

Rewards: 2,000,000c

Achievement text:

*Masterfully done, traveler. The raging seas of Pontus have been tamed, and we can now focus on bringing this world to life. You have earned your first reward, and my blessing at the start of this long and promising road.*

### Clearing the Air

*Oxygen is intimately tied to life. Not only does the flower provide it when bathed in sunlight, it also requires it during the long dark of night. We cannot begin to spread life on this world without oxygen freely available in the air. Provide that, and we will finally be able to plant the first seed.*

Goal: Increase oxygen to 100,000 ppm

Rewards: Bronze Governor Pack & 5,000,000c

Achievement text:

*Well done again, traveler. Your work is exemplary, and the air now hums with potential. you have earned another reward, and in a way you have given us all a reward of your own: the ability to begin spreading life on this pure, barren world. That is all that stands between us and our goal.*

### Seedlings

*Pontus is a majestic world, a fertile world, but it is also a very large world. With nearly double the land surface of Mother Earth, it will take some time to spread the Green Force across this planet. But everything that is must begin, and so we shall begin our efforts here: with a single seed, and a promise.*

Goal: Increase biomass to 500,000 Mt

Rewards: 14 Carbon Impact Points, Bronze Governor Pack, & 20 GP

Achievement text:

*Is there anything more beautiful than watching life take root? It is poetry in motion. Equal parts delicacy and strength, it is no less a power in this universe than gravity. Veriditas, the Green Force, the anti-entropy. Life: that is what you have given this world. Now, all that is left is to spread it as far as we can.*

### Full Flowering

*The final stage of your journey. You have given this world peaceful oceans, breathable skies, and now a life of its own. All that remains is to fulfill the Gaian dream and spread that life into every corner of this world. Do that, and you will have affixed an emerald into the heavens that no one will ever forget.*

Goal: Increase biomass to 1,200,000 Mt

Rewards: 12 Fast-Forward Hours, & 20 GP

Achievement text:

*You've done it. Where once was barren rock is now a garden. Where once was lifeless ocean, now stands a sea teeming with life. You have proven the Gaian dream is attainable, and you have shown that life cannot be contained. Here, take your final reward, and know that the Daughters of Gaia will ever after consider you a friend.*

### The First Seed

*Pontus is a garden that has never known flowers. We must nurture what is there, and provide what is missing. If we can transform this world into an emerald jewel, everyone will know that the Gaians are the guardians of life throughout the cosmos.*

Goal: Complete all milestones

Rewards: 10 cards for Rebecca Freyja O'Rourke

> *And today, we have you to thank for reminding us of that once again. Pontus was nothing, one of a trillion barren worlds scattered throughout the cosmos, and now it stands as a jewel for all to see. And all of it is thanks to you. You have taken up the Gaian cause and proven that it is not folly, but destiny.*
