#obviously we need more info on exactly what happened in Molaesmyr

Do you ever stop to think about how Ludinus is just an amalgamation of Laerryn (or every Age of Arcanum wizard really) and Zerxus without any of their nice or redeeming qualities?

He's just a guy who locked himself in his tower in Molaesmyr obsessing about the gods and Ruidus, had brief contact (like "reaching into an Alien Dream"), and decided he needed to hack into the weird power source under the city without knowing what it was or what tampering with it would do so he could commune with whatever was on Ruidus all because he was curious. But unlike Laerryn and Zerxus who tried to prevent further catastrophe after unintentionally destroying a city, Ludinus doubled down and decided this was still a good path to go down for another 500 years. What a dick.
