The Remnants finish pillaging the village, and return to the Hive, with new initiates in tow.
One of the elders (Elder 2) look at the Hive from the distance. "Wait, of course! This is the work of the Hive! They fit all of the descriptors-- they have Fire in their domain, and they conquer and pillage villages all of the time! Of course they would try to sieze this city!"
(Elder 4) "You're correct! Who else could it be? We must stop their plans!"
(Cogintius) "Never thought the Swarm would try to kill me... But they have become much more aggressive recently. Send a diplomat to the hive."
And so, a random mortal gets teleported to the Hive entrance by Cogintius. They have a telepathic link with him, so he may negotiate with the Swarm from the city.
"Uh... Swarm... Show yourself! We know what you plan to do!" The mortal sounds incredibly nervous.
"Oh, really? Are you so sure of that? My machinations are beyond mortal comprehension. What is it, that you think I am planning?"
"Cogintius and his elders figured it out! You're going to kill the god of knowledge and take control of our city!"
Just Spawning into existence was this strange Humanoid, He had grape vines surrounding him and he wore a tunic and a Cloak, the Vines seemed to wrap around the clothes giving it decoration. He had dark purple eye's and his eyelids seemed to be halfway closed, He had a large smile on his face. Wasting no time he sat down on the ground, Taking pleasure in his relaxation, He created a Small glass of wine and drank.
*Decadence Domain, I guess.*
Attempting small talk while the mortal negotiates with the Swarm, Cogintius approaches this god. "Who are you?" Then he sees the wine (he's the god of knowledge, so this should be fun) "A god of drinking? I despise drunks, they are bound to be foolish."
The God looks up at Cognitius and laughs, He was obviously drunk. He smiled as he looked at Cognitus, then to the drank. "Oh, (HICCUP) No No. I'm the god of Deca-(HICCUP)-dance...Meaning to delve into pleasure and luxuries. In other words, Unlike you other guys. I can eat chocolate Cake for breakfast, Drink wine with it. AND live in a amazing Castle. The more followers that delve into these pleasures the better for me ya (HICCUP) know?"

"Well, please do not make my whole city drunk. You can bring it luxuries, but don't rid it if knowledge." The pillar of fire expands in the distance. "What was that?" He goes off to investigate, causing the events I described in the long post to happen.
After all that...
"How could this be?" He's stroking his beard. "A demon? Under our noses this whole time? Wait, and Raegus predicted it as well..." He goes to inspecting the dead tree symbol imprinted on the ground. "And this makes no sense. Why does this cult align itself with that of dead trees?"

Locations are dead, the Temple of Potassium has fallen but its ideals live on
Cogintius is trying to calm mortals about the Godless Ones situation.
*For characters aligned with Godless Ones only* Faltros is strolling around a village (not the city) with a big black cat a few feet away from him. Further inspection reveals that the cat is not where it seems to be, for Faltros has created the first displacer beast as his companion.

"Yes, it is. Who are you?"
The framework is, at this point, considerably more constructed than before. (He's a God of Tinkering, so he works quickly.) It appears to have a 10 foot diameter ring with smaller rings of varying sizes surrounding it, all with complex arrangements of gears creating one large structure.

*Freddy. This is so cool. Better join before it hits 100! And I apologize if I did something wrong in the intro, I’ll gladly correct anything necessary.*
In the darkness of night, there’s a tiny flutter of blackness. It goes unnoticed for several minutes, before it happens again, and again. Gentle fluttering, darker blackness against the murky night. Tiny little legs of gloom, struggling to break free of each other.
Then, all at once, the legs move. They spread open with a great burst of movement, and beneath them sits an eye. The legs — now revealed to be eyelashes — rustle gently as the eye blinks once, twice, three times. Its iris is yellow, its pupil a bright white, bloodshot with black veins.
Slowly, as though waking from a nightmarish slumber, the creature begins to move. It stands and becomes fully visible. Craggy shoulders covered in broken arrows, patches of scabby scales, all a dull grey accented with a gloomy shade of purple. The creature is massive, standing roughly at the height of a hill giant. It holds in its right hand a golden flask filled with fine wine.
NAME AND TITLE: This is Kezzolan, betrayer of Netheril, first of the nothics.
CATEGORY: Demon
DOMAIN: Treachery
GENDER: He/Him or It
Kezzolan stands, breaking free of the gloomy darkness. He offers a friendly wave.

Kezzolan sees a Gargantuan-size Swarm of hornets, each one the size of a human's hand. It flies over, and speaks in a strange, buzzing voice.
"Ah, another new one. What is your name?"
Kezzolan frowns and takes a moment to think. “I am the traitor. Kezzolan is my only name now.“
Interested, Faltros walks up (Faltros is a demon, he wears whatever fine clothes currently are in this post apocalyptic world, and he is a demonic patron of an anti-god cult called the Godless Ones). His displacer beast companion (the first of his kind, he was created a few hours ago) appears to be walking a few feet away from him, though really he's right at his side. "Welcome to (world name), new Will."
