Teaser # 3: Gauth

[Zydel]

There's that EM fire god(dess?) and the True god that's worshipped by one of the factions.

Eh? I haven't seen Ygsorath or Cilius mentioned.


Anyway, taking the Four concept from EM (err, sort of) and Eradus from SoH seems so unconventional for the DC team. Interesting choice. One day I want to see the DC Universe's timeline from the staff so we can know which era went where. But more on topic, I'm loving the storytelling going on here. It goes without saying that I am extremely excited for the future!

[Thalidus]

Excellent read 

Out of curiousity though, is the subrace limited to human and dwarf, or could an elf in theory be a Gauthian too? Like on SoH everyone could be subrace Haldar or Soran.

Have a lookie here.

In the Depths of the fortress Norhaven are one such group of survivors in three distinct colonies. Gauth is the largest colony. They live within the dwarven tunnels and have patterned themselves after dwarven society. They honor forthrightness and martial prowess. Avera's Hope is a fledgeling colony of freedom and growing faith in the young religion of the One True God, Eleudis. They are ex-slaves, escaped convicts, and gypsies - outcasts who bend a knee to none. Then there are the Warrens, a tangle of tunnels deep in the ground within which the wondrous lost city of Elothos was found and around which the macabre Sect of Eloth has formed. Since the discovery of an old lost god, they have grown increasingly insular and mistrustful.

There's a new true god. And there's the pale elf race too, so I just immediately thought it's Ygsorath. Sure it could be something else though.

The Five/Four is just a way for the people to refer to the pantheon, I think. I'm thinking there'll be more gods than that.

The actual hardcoded subraces are limited to Human and Dwarf, but you could be from Gauth and be another race, storywise.

Humans and dwarves will be the most prevalent ones in Gauth, just like how humans were the most prevent race in Soros.  And in Soros, any race could be a citizen of that faction, it's just that one race was more common than the others.  Gauth will use that same concept.

[AwesomeSparklySquirrel]

Mongoose, you mean humans and dwarves are more common

[Mongoose]

Mongoose, you mean humans and dwarves are more common

I would never have said anything otherwise!  See above?  I said humans and dwarves.

I certainly didn't accidentally put humans, elves and a sentiment form of butterscotch toffee.

(I fixed the post above.)

[ZaoGao]

Mongoose, you mean sentient form of butterscotch toffee. 

[Grebs]

I just pray we don't get another god named like Cilius...everytime the name came up ALL I could think of was Sillius Soddus!

Mmm, scotterbutch sauce and pancakes

[Mongoose]

No.

I don't.

[Dwarfare]

Question!   Likely this will be addressed later anyhow, or may be too soon to disclose this information, but here we go anyhow.

Can a character join/claim to be a part of the Swords and/or Wards of Gauth?

[Clockwork]

This will be announced at a later date.
