Did Varian re-form the moon from what we saw? Or was that the Albedi creator, the Eschaton?
It is said the Albedi gods get their power based on faith, does this mean that Jox had thousands(or more?) of people worshipping him in some fashion on the continent of Albedos? Edit: Or is this more of a "as Aetolians, we believe this is how they get their power"?
The second answer is complicated, and harder to give a meaningful answer to without delving into it too much. While Albedi Gods did come into existence outside of the belief system, the belief system is what gives power to their concept. Belief doesn't mean active worship in this case - but that does that give them far more weight than just believing in their existence. Basically, it's an extension of this concept: http://wiki.aetolia.com/Haridas_manifold
You'll find that Albedi God worship is quite prevalent in Albedos as we uncover more of the continent - they're a people that are under heavy Dreikathi oppression, so turning to religion is a way for them to cope.
Like Daddy V is absent for ages and he doesn't show up in the nick of time to save everyone. He shows up after the other Alpha Gods favorite toy is shattered, and instead of killing Eschaton's kid he just knocks him uncon and then Bamathis doesn't kill him either. Can they even kill him? Closest we've seen to a death is apparently a lab slide specimen being devoured by Varian himself.
Was the Cosmic Being fixing the moon Eschaton?
Why is Varian literally the worst dad ever?
Meanwhile all our gods getting refunds on their costume....
Also, in light of recent events, there's been some things that I've wondered about since it seems the Sapience pantheon and Albedos pantheon have been at odds for a looong time.
If Varian is THE Creator, but the Eschaton is ALSO the Creator for Albedos, who came first? Or did they come about separately and the feud between the Sapience and Albedos gods is essentially a territory war?
The death sequences across various regions (Dekhay Plateau, Sapience, Albedos) are also very different. Sapience's Mirror sequence, you come back to life because Varian deems it not your time. With the Plateau and Albedos sequences, you're turned away because you don't belong there. Theoretically speaking, if an Albedos native were to die on Sapience and come back, would they experience the Mirror? Or would it be something else entirely?
A wild guess about Space Hands would be that they belonged to Odravh, since we haven't seen anything out of them since Hashan, but Varian being afraid of going 1v1 with a single mid-tier Albedi god would be weird considering he casually stepped on Jox. I dunno.
It's neat to be excited about all the questions from an event though, and it's cool to see names like Varian showing up in the ongoing plot. Good stuff.
A. Can Tanixalthas fly to the moon?
B. What's the moon's audit on asphyx/electric?
Jokes aside, She would lose Her Sapience-based element (Air) if She did and then, She would probably die from the lack of air rather quickly. All-in-all, not likely in Her best interest.
B. 100%
Is Dhaivol, and not just Ivoln, the creator of the race? If so, does Dhar hold any continued interest in his progeny?
How would you describe the accent and their language, and is there an in-game dictionary that would provide general translations?
Are there, or were there family clans of dwarfs a la pretty much any other high fantasy tale?
Are there any other races that dwarfs have a long-held generational hatred for?
If all of the dwarfs got together and built a stronghold, what would their military and guards be outfitted with/wearing?
...but down the line, it's entirely possible that a
Beholdernon-copyright-infringing giant floating eye with accompanying eye stalks might show up.Colby's retired to some hidden cove on Polyargos, enjoying the hospitality of the Harpies. Not many survived, and those who did have resettled elsewhere. Or so others have said. It is difficult to say where the reality of legends lies.
