What was that.
Just a quick reminder there are basically 3 pantheons in the current Exiern story.
Traveler- These are the gods that everyone knows existed. They created the world and walked it 6 generations ago. Each Traveler created his own race of people based on what he believed the perfect people were. Later when during the two great wars the Travelers gave their people “gifts” aka magic powers that further distinguished them.
Ash the one handed – The northern tribes (Tiffany’s people) believe in a great warrior named Ash. The stories of Ash were told to them by their patron Traveler and the Tribes have taken to worshiping Ash over the travelers because frankly Ash was cooler that the Travelers who ended up loosing the second great war.
Rem – At the end of the second war the luminaries’ patron travel told them of a god greater than the Travelers known as Rem. Worship of Rem became the official religion of the Grand Luminary Alliance although many still worship the Travelers instead.
There are of course more religions out there but these are the one’s to be concerned with for the immediate story. So when Ctyx says the Travelers are testing us he is revealing his “hick” roots since a citizen of a major city would refer to Rem testing them instead.
Not that any of this matters but just thought I would let you know
when ya look at mythology the gods do tend to be dicks to each other and every one else.
That’s because the gods tend to be humans with godly powers. Face it- if you had the power to summon a hoard of rampaging bears whenever it amused you, would you use it occasionally? Also, go and pick up girls. But, priorities!
Fact.
lol if me and my family where Pantheon of gods you would feel bad for the world evil bears would be the least of the things id summon up for kicks!
and im the nice one
‘rings hands and cackles evily”
Looking forward to the bubblegum chewing god of a!s-kickery.
Ash the one handed…in other words you used Ash from Evil Dead for that one. Not sure where you got the idea of Rem but these Travelers I take it were some kind of aliens that landed and started to screw around with the planet.
I just noticed that the lightning woman’s mask face actually changed to an angry face when she turned and looked at the rude fat man.
LoL! I want me an “Okay, now the gods are just being dicks” T-shirt!
Suddenly… rampaging bears!
Ash the one-handed – I take that the author enjoys Evil Dead movies? 😛
Silly rabble. Its all their own fault. It specifically says in the city charter that the citizens have the “right to arm bears”. (I’m guessing they didn’t proof read it very well before signing it).
This just bares watching, a troupe of rampaging bears.
Looks like someone wanted to use a “Krack-thoom”.
That lightning golem reminds me of the fetches in Myth I and II: Summoned priestesses who wore the skins of killed men and shot lightning from their fingers. When they were slain, only the skin remained on the ground. Brr.
But this golem is probably just a secret agent of the king, and those rampaging beasts are probably the king’s riot control. I bet those commoners were rioting and needed to be taught a lesson.
So the Luminary alliance worships Rem and their magic power is song. Is their holiest hymn “Losing My Religion” ?
Roflmao
“loosing”?
I feel slightly saddened knowing that the majority of people would, if given Godlike powers, use them for their own amusement.
I can’t say I’m much different, but I wouldn’t hurt people.
Much.
They’d get better.
Probably.
The gods tend to be like that.
No, their religion wasn’t too tight(loosen), they were misplacing their faith in it (losing)
YES! T-shirts for that. Good thought irrevenoid. Of course, the ‘now’ part implies that they are not dicks at other times… nor sure on that one.
Yeah… when you have lightning women, giant spiders, and an army of bears attack for NO GOOD REASON, it’s time to assume that whoever controls the universe happens to be dickish.
If there’s anything I’ve learned by now,it’s that The Almighty has a sick sense of humor.
“Ash was cooler that the Travelers who ended up loosing the second great war”
… by which I assume you mean “Ash was cooler THAN the Travelers who ended up LOSING the second great war”.
