Somebody? That's your cue.

Also, if Sapt Golgo doesn't pay attention to mortals/lesser divines, why help Udil in the first place?

He called out to the gods for help in killing another Elder God (yummy!), Sabt Golgo made him sacrifice his sight for the priviledge of being her 'agent of change', as you put it, AND she got to eat Neyravah later. She helped herself by helping him.

So if it can be proven that Udil's goals are detremental to Sabt Golgo's...

I suppose that makes sense. You really should check out that fleet, though.

And now he's got a planet sized weapon capable of firing once to destroy the Ring. Aka the atmosphere of Despair.


Also, megalomania. If someone just asks Corvus to help them persuade Sabt Golgo to attack Udil...

Doesn't that technically mean he feels the atmosphere's pain? There are some gods that can light the very air aflame.
Or lightning.
Or something.

Good logic under normal circumstances but don't forget Udil has a spire now.  Mighty Acts every turn means he might as well be an elder god.

You know, I kinda like the idea of the Mutarian era being narrated by Neyravah for some reason...

Nope, the only gods who would do that in their spheres would be Aur-Sha and Magnus.

Im really tempted to change Overgod rules to 3Mighty Acts used/ 1 Turn sleep.  I mean come on at the beginning the turns progressed fast but right now Taricus is never going to play again...

im thinking of shortening his current sleep cycle to two rounds...Thoughts?

Unbiased POV, sure.
Biased POV, last time he was in he made Udil supreme justicar........

Make it so, oh high GM.

At least when Un'Girlan kills him it'll be a fight, not a slaughter.

I guess that would be fair.  Overgod might get attacked more often though.

Speaking of something, do I have the 7 HP (not that it matters) and the Time Act from wounding Vasvaldi?

You know I was thinkin" if Pantheon was a book, which character would people like best?
They'd feel sorry for poor blundering Neyravah, that's for sure. Everything They did was to try and help mortals save two: The Flamoaks, which helped mortals a lot, and of course dying (which helped MUCH later on).
Probably.

I don't think this would make a very good series. There's really no-one sympathetic and interesting enough (well, Gren is getting shit done now) to act as a protagonist, and Udil would be too much of a Villain Protagonist. Udil would be a good player character for a God of War type of game, though, atleast pre-godhood.
I find Neyravah sympathetic in the same way I'm sympathetic towards a child trying to...do something s/he can't really comprehend. But then, I'm probably biased.
And IMHO, Udil's targets would make God of War even darker than it is.

Not really Vgray. Even I admit that. He's not that sympathetic as a viewpoint character. He's probably be viewed at best as a Byronic hero/hurting hero, by most as a flawed but good intentioned person who's troubled, at worst as a demonic figure of cowardice and paranoia.
Just as Az-SHo could be viewed at best as a caring father figure who wanted to protect his children and was struck down by a trusted ally, at worst a greedy bastard who was consumed with rage and was only put down before he caused greater destruction.
And Neyravah could be viewed as either foolish but loving and managing to make things work put in the end before being murdered by one of his children, or a kindhearted idiot who it's best was killed.

And now he's got a planet sized weapon capable of firing once to destroy the Ring. Aka the atmosphere of Despair.
Doesn't that technically mean he feels the atmosphere's pain? There are some gods that can light the very air aflame.
Or lightning.
Or something.
What kind of god/dess would be good at lightning?

You know, I kinda like the idea of the Mutarian era being narrated by Neyravah for some reason...
Thanks, but it would be a bit limited due to Neyravah trying to make Their dwarven project work.

And yeah, let the Overgod act more often.
