Brennan does literally refer to the Archmage as the Goddess of Knowledge on Ashley's huge insight check.
-
Asmodeus pretty clearly mocked Serenrae's lack of followers so I am pretty sure he already killed most of them. And Ayden (or Pelor) became a follower of Serenrae to comfort her.
-
The big Lolth clue for me in regards to Umleta was the rope that she descended down, like a spider web/silk.
-
Brennan's use of the word "Skitter" was very deliberate when describing Umleta. He used it twice which is kind of odd given his infamously broad vocabulary. He was clearly aiming to invoke a spider-like nature in the way she moves and scurries up the walls. Add to this the teasing, black-widow-esque tone of speech and I'm very convinced it's Lolth we're dealing with. Look forward to confirming either way.
-
The "nothing" has to be predathos, because it aligns perfectly with what we know of them (also note that the lighting went red during that segment)
-
Bolo is a Avatar of a betrayer, God. This is my new headcon
-
The Wildmother found Exandria when they all fled Tengar because she was feeling a pull to it from something that is as yet unidentified. My theory is that the Luxon is a god who left Tengar earlier than the rest did, and ignited life on Exandria, like the Kryn believe that it did. The pull toward Exandria that the Wildmother was feeling was the Luxon.
-
I love that each of the main cast members are playing gods that are important to their past characters. Vex was the reason Vax made his deal with the Raven Queen. Pike is a cleric of Serenrae and Caduceus is a cleric of the Wild Mother
-
Tiamat is gonna be five kobolds in a tracksuit
-
I've seen a theory going around that Father Milo is a red herring, and Asmodeus is actually what we think is the Knowing Mistress. Would fit right into how we saw Brennan play Asmodeus in Calamity and would be a really fun twist.
-
I believe that the current idea of the Emissary's "gift" is that they are the one who made the stasis bubbles found all around Aeor, and that the reason Erathis didn't come is that, as the goddess of civilization and innovation, she couldn't fully commit to the plan of destroying Aeor (hence her also giving the Emissary her "love", the protection bubbles.) But that her and Bahamut are cooking elsewhere is also probably part of it! Asha wanting her wife is so entertaining to watch, though, and the Emissary is a *delight*, so I'm happy it turned out this way.
-
I think that Asmodeus and Sarenrae the Everlight were lovers before coming into โrealityโ. Which is why the Everlight has hope that Asmodeus could be redeemed and he uses that hope to hurt her. On the ship in space Ashley and Brennan both say I love you as Brennan first describes the beautiful features turning into black horns red heat and being the first of his kin to feel pain when they start to exist.
-
Honestly my first thought after the intro scene was what if the Luxon is the ship? It would fit in for the Kryn story and could explain the fragments scattered since the ship crashed. We don't get much descriptors for the ship itself but it seems to sort of sail through possibility so I could see some correlations there.
-
Just wanted to say thank you for your enthusiasm and effort into making this content! I dont have any irl critter friends so its so fun to get excited with you through these videos. Keep it up!
-
The decimation of the everlights followers already happened. You can tell because Milo notices that Ayden is a cleric or hers and comments on how nice it is that she still has at least one follower
-
When my party finally finished our Witchlight Module and got to teleport back to the homebrew world, our DM started with "Air" and dropped us from the sky into the middle of the ocean (where 2 ships were fighting each other) lol.
-
my personal theory regarding the Luxon is that it IS the ship that the gods arrived on. it might have shattered upon impact and since it was created by Ihara the Time Weaver (from Tengar), I imagine it has that similar essence of time and space that the beacons carry
-
Perfect timing from your kitty, if any beings embody that spirit of nature (the Wildmother) it has to be cats lol!
-
5:20 I got early campaign Orym vibes from Ayden. Which was both surreal and weird unnerving. I love it
-
11:19 "... and nature doesn't care about how much destruction is wrought..." And a cat appears in the background
