The appointment of Brigantia, the goddess of life took place on the 2nd day of Mournsend, 990 from the mortal form of Peaceful Sirona. An account of the proceedings follows.
Genesis, the god of time intones, "Sirona, if you'd like to make your way to the Rock Pinnacle by foot then you will find the pantheon awaiting you for this appointment.".
Rock pinnacle.
The sky about you is alive with the day-time. Sitting on the snow-crowned tip of the rocky spire, you survey a cloudscape of a truly wondrous splendour and beauty. Rock-snow mountaintops rise up, adrift on a smooth white cloud-sea, sparkling in blazing sunlight. Against the whiteness below, the dome of the sky is a deep blue hemisphere atop the horizon, the sun a bright disc shining down through stray streamers of mist... The air is bitingly cold, but to you, a mortal privileged to visit what is surely the realm of the Gods, it seems merely invigorating. To your left, casting dancing watery reflections against the surrounding rocks is a deep pool of mountain water, while at the foot of the pinnacle is the mountain village of Archangel, sacred village of Genesis, the god of time. There is a distinct feeling of privacy here.
You hear the distant chiming of a grandfather clock, and Genesis, the god of time, appears.

Genesis, the god of time says, "Aldaron, who has been sole god of life since early in Avalon's history, has lately stepped back from active participation in the pantheon and Sirona has been chosen to step into his shoes.".

Genesis, the god of time says, "You are charged with the task of establishing a strong presence and bringing vigour to the realm of life.".
Genesis, the god of time says, "For as long as you act for the good of Avalon you will receive no sanction from me.".
Peaceful Sirona says, "As I've served Aldaron, I will serve Avalon, with all I have.".
Genesis, the god of time says, "Should you stray from that ideal, though, you will find (as all appointed Gods) that I have the power to strip divine rank as well as bestow it.".
Peaceful Sirona says, "If I were to stray, I'd deserve that and more.".
Genesis, the god of time says, "Sirona, we offer you this opportunity. I trust you won't disappoint me.".
