with the obligatory precursor statement of "the gods are not based on any earthen pantheon and thus cannot be drawn directly to any of our dieties, but downfall is heavily intentionally pulling from religious imagery": it is insane (in the best way) of nick marini to show up to critical role for his very first time and play pelor as the messiah shepherd giving food & shelter to poor refugees. whilst boarding a ship of regufees. to nuke the city that harbors them

#pelor #ayden #it's so interesting to me that while the gods ARENT ours pelor is so often placed in the one christian god position #but when this is utilized by the dms/players it is what colonialist christians praise god for and see him as #their hypocrisy and imperialism and seeing others as lesser even in good intention made manifest #nick playing ayden as a functional jesus figure but he is using his messiah actions as excuse for genocide #that feels very relevant #aeor #nick marini #religion #critical role #critical role meta #campaign 3 #exandria unlimited: downfall #downfall #cr spoilers
