It is still deeply unclear to me what the outcome of this whole plan is, but it's going to be so funny to me if the gods all just become consecuted mortals who otherwise do regain their memories every lifetime. They're still probably as clever and charismatic and in some cases conniving as they were, just with less firepower. They're reliant on being near beacons if they want to be reborn. Half of them are fundamentally terrified of the concept of permanent death and they've got millennia of experience avoiding it. I give it forty years before there are like seven warring Luxon cults a la the Dynasty just wreaking havoc on Exandria in their obsessive quest for beacons. The Bright Queen suddenly goes from being a fringe theocrat with an overzealous missionary agenda to a paragon of restraint.
#actually now that I think about this fully supports tales of exandria: bright queen chronologically#particularly if you consider that a) the lolth stuff can largely be said to have happened prior to this point#and b) the gods becoming mortal does not negate existing passive effects that they have implemented#the bright queen getting really into missionary work: inb4 those annoying tryhards COME TO MUSCLE INTO MY TERRITORY#actually VERY funny for lolth and the bright queen as a set of enemies#they are now at war with standing armies rather than whatever guerrilla bs was happening in underground xhorhas#congrats on the status quo change! have you improved society somewhat? :)#cr spoilers#critical role
