We continue the miniseries this week by examining Gogra, The Divine Child. Isn't it awful that such a joyful and sympathetic figure would be trapped in the Absentium, doomed to forever attempt to redeem the others? Exactly. ——— Curious about something you heard in this episode? Chances are you can find out more about it in the Record of the Lorekeeper!

"What do we see? A demon, a noxious, unnatural creature. It eats natural patterns, creates its own patterns like a thief in the night. We cannot understand the universe until we understand this evil. A victim has been found, beaten and bloodied." -The Book of Truth (AI Religion Bot) This week we begin an exploration of the Mutes and the Absentium by examining our first figure: Lagezoth (renamed from Timur), the Mute of corpulence and avarice. Lagezoth owns everything. If he can't have it,...

We're considering taking a detour into the Absentium, fleshing out the Mutes and resolving some questions around them (while creating many more). But before we do that, there's plenty of questions about the Absentium itself that deserve to be answered! For instance, where did it come from? Who made it? ——— Curious about something you heard in this episode? Chances are you can find out more about it in the Record of the Lorekeeper! Website: thelorekeepers.com Email:...

Thanks to another fantastic question from Thurston, we've got to clean up the mess we've made in the past couple episodes regarding "WaILa"s!

How do you prevent mortals from achieving godhood? Not by fighting, but by offering a deal. This week, we explore the world of the demi-divine, the stiched fabric between the mortal and immortal.
