#ludanis fucking daleath

[underwaterbanshee]

So...just a few hours away from Downfall and...well...okay:

Two things can be true:

Aeor, as a sovereign nation, during Calamity, tasked with protecting its people, has the right to stop divinity, prime and betrayer, from murdering its people by any means possible, including maiming or harming the gods harming them

AND

Ludanis Fucking Daleath is a bad person whose goal of releasing Predathos to kill the gods will potentially hurt millions, if not billions of mortals just like the gods' war did during Calamity, and he must be stopped.

I am so fucking excited for Downfall but I don't think any information inside that little hologram is going to tell me that Ludanis' goals to free Predathos won't hurt mortals.

That's not the twist.

I don't care about the gods at all. I just think they are load bearing to the world building at this point and we've seen the already deadly repercussions of messing with divine magic after establishment of the bloody bridge during the Applebees Soulcycle.

I do wish a discussion about a political or peace treaty could be brought through the back door to the Rebellion instead of an army was had. Getting rid of Ludanis and the Ruby Vanguard would allow everything to deescalate and real communication between two very different peoples to happen.

But you know, politics in Actual Play DnD isn't fun or sexy, (no shade, it is why it was narrated over single episodes and the epilogue in C2), so Boom, Crash, right?
