Minor correction GWG: Udil ascended due to the act of the Overgod, not due to the battle. Not going to try to argue with you right now; you're clearly pissed.
Ah, my bad.
...Still. That leaves everything else.
Okay so let me see. Most of this actions turned out as they did was because they were done stupidly.
Not all of it had to be.
The natural habitat of the Dwarves were the Savannnahs, YOU destroyed by creating a jungle, a biome they were not prepared for the least.
Next you create Megafauna WHICH EATS THEM. Do you think they would love you for it?
IN fact you did nothing useful for the Dwarves. You didn't create Emeraldhome, the Dwarves wandered there bcause of Atlas and settled there because he shooed away the Megafauna you created.
You are leaving a few things out...like the wood, and the meat, and the fact that this isn't where I'm complaining about Neyravah's failing in general.
Besides, you seem to also be assuming that a God of Life with a Major Act can't cause changes to the ecosystem without balancing it all out.
THe nex thting you did was throw those that stayed solitary (because it was their nature and culture) together. Would you throw a bunch of tigers into the same cage?
And yet it worked for Udil.
And then you asked/oredered them to kill their old and weak? Does that sound like a reason to worship you? Not really.
Asked...and I kinda
did give them a way to deal with the Fangdrakes and be more prosperous than they ever were...And besides, what did you expect me to do? Elder Gods don't get power from worship, they get it from
blood sacrifice.
On the other Hand. Udil led those Dwarves into safety and out of the murderous jungles, gave them a place to settle down and defended thema gainst the monstrosities of this world. They Followed him first out of Fear (he killed Atlas and destroyed the Emerald as well as killing a Fangdrake singlehandedly, with a wooden sword) and later because he kept them alive through all that.
Congratulations. That works for some dwarves--except, wait, they're tigers who can't get along.
Your Creation of Mountain Turtles was just stupid. Would you burrow into something that moves and could squash you with its toe? Not really.
They were intended to be tamed. But no, the worst possible outcome happened, which of course made the dwarves hate Neyravah more and more...
Besides they are turtles. Most turtles i know like water and are drawn to it.
...You're not familiar with what a
tortoise is, are you?
That the Stonedrakes live in them is only natural. I mean they carry their foodsource on their backs!
Despite the fact that there weren't enough in the world for the dwarves to notice?
All in all all your actions where so blatantly ignorant of Dwarven Needs that you shouldn't really wonder why they don't worship you...and thats to that.
At a certain point, yes, but only after I embraced that as part of Neyravah, which happened after some impressive, unintentional, and (except for one) completely unexpectable failures.
And you haven't addressed stonedrakes, nor most of Udil's successes, nor why you ignored almost every argument I made as to why Udil brought disaster on the Ninth Continent and the dwarven race to the point of not bothering to say that you think they are wrong. Nor Flamoaks.
What the hell? Aodun is on the other side of the world from the Moon.
And there's that barrier...
Anyway, yeah, not going to argue that they didn't have reason to really love him. I even understand why they happened to follow Udil. problem is, though I don't see him as a Marty Stu (as rediculous as he is, I'm pretty sure no-one would actually want to be him), I still think that he's been favored at least some, what with the fact that he's had very little go wrong for him outside of relatively minor inconveniences.
I can't think of a
single inconvenience which has actually hindered Udil's actions.
ah yeah, the Flameoaks. Which he gave to teh CHildren fo Az-Sho. The Dwarves were long gone by then and have nothing to do with it.
If that's true, how did Udil's troops have backpacks of Flamoak?
And aren't all dwarves on the same continent, anyways?
And, finally:
DARN YOU I HAD NO CHANCE TO RESPOND WHY DO ALL OF MY CHARACTERS DIE WHEN I CAN'T RESPOND?
