The fear of the unknown is much more powerful, and to reduce an entity to this lore piece would be... Detrimental. As much as I would like to do that, given new lore guidelines, and the widespread shelving of lore due to the lore games, I don’t believe that is a possibility. Deific entities have a very clearly defined format they are now required to adhere to from a lore writing standpoint. A simple paragraph stating that she exists isn’t enough anymore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont need lore to praise an entity.

Weird **** happens in the sea? “huh i read this thing about this unfathomable creature of the depths, why dont we make a shrine y’know????????” You might not need lore to praise an entity, but it certainly helps. If I simply wanted to praise some non-existent creature of the fathoms, I would hardly have expanded on her original lore. Likewise, her having fleshed out lore shouldn’t influence your in character reactions regarding her, whether it’s one paragraph, or a proper lore post. If your character is terrified of ancient sea entities, they should be afraid of her wither you oocly know things about her or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, mysteriousness is far more interesting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananasaurus 64 Share Posted October 15, 2019 This gives the deity (pardon my pun) real depth. There still remains mystery, in my opinion, on her machinations or why she chose to do one thing or another. But quantifying the entire lore as bad just because Dresdrasil now has more definition is just... silly. There are unfathomable things still within the oceans that only she would be aware of. This post gives those who worship her a more intricate and defined culture to work with, instead of just a nebulous Lovecraftian, C’thulu-like horror that’s unknowable and unseen forever, and has no other actual aspects to it OTHER than “it’s a mystery, wooOOOoo!” +1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
