Bro I just hate pelor like every time he’s shown up it just fills me with unrivalled anger like what a prick get off your high horse honestly if I was in exandria I’d start worshiping predathos just to knock him down a peg he’s my number 1 enemy

#so true bestie #he’s always been the worst of the good gods #you mean to tell me you’re not the god of leadership or bravery but you claim those as your domain? #like also?? #in campaign one he was an ASSHOLE to VM while they were getting fragments of divinity #and tbh the gods weren’t that deep in c1 but he never grew

NOT THIS JAUNDICED MOTHERFUCKER AGAIN

Ludanis prepping the spell weird is the biggest plot hole in the entirety of CR

There’s a post about Ludanis being arrogant and audacious in thinking Laerynn, the great architect arcane, would be willing to help him, and they’re right she would be far too busy. But what really needs to be noted is that in Avalir at a a ball full of intelligent wizards, none of them knew what Laerynn did or how important/intelligent she was, but somehow a wizard from another city picked her out instead of any of the 9 leaders of Avalir as competent enough to help. I wonder if this implies an interaction between the two characters.

What's the difference between a regular tower and a mage tower? the hubris, probably

honestly, what bothers me so much about the screw the gods attitude both in show and out is that in Exandria specifically, the gods are impotent.  They don’t interfere with daily life, they can only do the bare minimum by providing clerics with spells and once in a while making a mortal their champion.  very rarely they can perform miracles, but that’s very rare and mostly in before the campaigns.

There’s a goddamn reason (pun intended) that the dawnfather didn’t just rush in and suplex vecna into oblivion when he started getting godhood aspirations.  There’s a reason the Stormlord didn’t burn Obann to a crisp the minute he looked at his barbarian daughter the wrong way. 

That’s literally how it is because after the Prime deities stomped the betrayer gods for the second time, they created the divine gate and went away.  They chose to limit their power on the prime material plane and keep their asshole siblings away from the world. 

literally everything bad in people’s lives is due to other asshole mortals or sometimes demi-god entities like like Uka’toa or the Traveler (archfey).  Not the gods on high.

Extremely funny that Imogen "what if my deadbeat mom has a point" Temult is making this request to try to save her to Beauregard "my shitty dad could and did sell me to the Cobalt Soul for a single corn chip and I hope he rots in prison" Lionett and Caleb "uhhhhhhhhhhhh no comment" Widogast

[redmoonruidus]

BACK to prison? was he IN prison previously??

#he wished his way out and took Trent with him to distract Caleb

This is frankly a ridiculous comparison because they both are incredibly arrogant, powerful wizards that were given a high amount of control over their respective areas, who caused horrific pain for millions to achieve their goals, and eventually managed to claw their way back to almost neutral, but the biggest difference is that Essek admitted he did things wrong, and tried to correct them, Laerynn decided it was still up to her to fix everything and died white knuckle gripping her hubris. If this is simply about hubris, arrogance, and a lack of concern for anyone but themselves (wizard traits) Laerynn wins handily

Unstoppable force meets... Immovable Object?

You know, like the... like the dunamancy spell—you get it. Moving on.

Except he didn’t kick off the calamity! He got blamed for it because he asked for fame. The highest echelons of Avalir had already been corrupted by Asmodeous long before he kicked off his shitty ritual, Zerxus had been having dreams for months by that point, and Laerryn was headed towards killing the only think keeping them at bay the second she ‘knew better’ than anyone else! Vespins entire contribution to the calamity was picking a god to replace poorly, and then Asmodeous left behind one shred of evidence and the ring of brass brought about the rest.

you know what i am so glad that exu calamity gave us insight into vespin chloras's reasoning and everything because now i can confidently say that the guy who kicked off the point in exandria's history that killed 2/3 of the population and fundamentally changed the way the gods interact with the world had more understandable reasoning than ludinus da'leth does.

‘We’ll get rid of fate’ sure is a really selective argument. Like, they’ve said Predathos will just be killing the gods, right? So the implication is that killing a god destroys their domain. But if that’s true does that mean that if Predathos goes on it’s god-killer 100% speedrun, all the other domains are gonna go too? Including such things as Nature, Knowledge, the concepts of Redemption and Justice, the fucking SUN……

#love these takes!

Apropos of literally nothing but I’m confused as to why I see so many posts assuming it would be difficult or even impossible to explain the Might Nein’s group name in a cartoon without the context of the dice rolls.

I can think of like 5 different ways to do it and they are all less meta than Vox Machina’s party name, which is never addressed at all.

#super easy you have jester pitch the mighty and Caleb interrupts saying no in zemnien obvi

[redmoonruidus]

It doesn’t kill them, it would just reassign who presides over it, since we know fate and winter died and they are now raven queen domains

What if Tharizdun is to Predathos as Uk'otoa is to Zehir

#this is a fun theory #I think that Tharizdun is far realm where Predathos is space #but that’s not explicitly stated just my theory

[redmoonruidus]

I think that the Raven Queen leveraged the two dead gods and knowledge of their existence over the former god of death as part of her ritual of ascension, and the former god of death, knowing that no one would remember him or the fact that he picked up extra domains, decided to do his part to seal away the secret
