#Ludinus has decided he’s superior and reverse engineered a justification from that

[samcarter34]

Also, Ludinus’ declaration that the gods left Exandria because they were afraid of mortals is genuinely funny because like…why? The gods ended the calamity in tact (albeit trapped in the case of the Betrayers) while the Age of Arcanum was wiped out. Kinda hard to claim you’re a threat to something when the one time you went head to head, you got wrecked.

That’s why, even during the Age of Arcanum, they kept having to bring up the Raven Queen, because she is literally the only one who succeeded, every other attempt ended abysmally. Hell, even Vecna couldn’t do what she did, he had to find a way to ascend that didn’t involve challenging a god.

‘Average archmage has chance of killing a god’ is a statistical error, the Raven Queen, literally the only person in history to succeed, is an anomaly and should not have been included. And honestly, if only one person’s ever been able to do it, you gotta wonder if it’s less to do with her and more to do with the god she challenged.
