#i'm showing symptoms of a terminal case of hype

[bragganhyl]

I mentioned earlier that I have some potential divine parent candidates for the Envoy in mind, so here is a bit of a list, most of it are of the dumb spitbally variety, I'm literally just here like

The Land itself

Spirits such as delemgan are entities that reflect the environment around them (and can be corrupted into pwgras if the environment gets corrupted), I do think that potentially such a spirit could've touched the Envoy linking them to the Living Lands. Alternatively the Envoy could be a reincarnation of such a spirit.

2. The People

Remember the Annals of Llengrath? His plans included creating a network of people, all linked to one another by their souls, all carrying bits of each other's souls, all being Llengrath. That is why, when a sentient micellar network infected the book, it recognized itself in the description and took on the identity of Llengrath. (It's also worth noting that the gods wanted to hide the Annals so Llengrath was probably onto something). Soooo what if Llengrath wasn't the first/only person to think of this? And what if such a network could leave physical marks on its members? Hmmm mushrooms...

3. An ancient dragon

So y'know the sea dragon twist in Deadfire? Originally the Huana formed covenants with the ancient dragons of the Deadfire and that is how they learned watershaping, then the Engwithans pretty much hijacked the covenant and made the Huana believe that they gained the power to watershape from Ondra. So what if the Engwithan gods also copied the godlike chime from potential kith/dragon soul bonds? I mean Neriscyrlas knew animancy so what if they could mess with kith souls and *idk noises*

4. The secret mystery 12th god

The 12th god has been a fan theory floating around ever since Deadfire dropped and it showed 12 titan graves under the Wheel. Maybe god no.12 is actually a thing and they've been touching people this whole time. Maybe they touched the Envoy too, maybe idk who knows.
