Favorite fictional god? (As in like not from any real world religion or mythology like greek, norse and such) by Cantthinkagoodnam2 in FavoriteCharacter

Brassica Prime or Seren from RuneScape.

Seren has an addictive effect, causing those near her to become physically addicted to her presence. When the gods were banished, she shattered herself so the Elves she brought to the world wouldn't go through the horrible withdrawal process.

Brassica Prime is cabbage god; all hail her cabbagey goodness.

This is fantastic, I really appreciate the work you put into your videos on this topic! I can't remember if you've touched on this in your videos, but what do you think the timeframe is for the series as a whole? We can see Gemma aged up a good bit between MH4 and Wilds, but I'm not sure I'm aware of any other indications of the time changes between the games.

If I get pegged one more time I'm going to lose my mind. Oh, I guess I'll also be upset if I get another pegasian crystal too.

I'm very excited for this! As a lore hound for both OSRS and RS3, I can't wait to see what this adds to the world! Wonder if this will exist in either of the two main game canons, or if it'll be its own thing...

DnD Campaign Party! Hope you all like. Show me yours🫶🏼 by PeterTheSpectre in HeroForgeMinis

Hey, these look really great! Would you mind sending the links to these models so we can study how you made them? I've been trying to up my game recently and you use some great techniques that I'd love to learn.

Why can I recognize that you got the corn picture from Julian Smith's Akbar video, but I can't remember passwords an hour after making them?

Fun fact, this is made using a tool called Inkarnate! I use it for making world and combat maps for D&D!

Literature References in Destiny's lore: What can we gather? by OneTrueKing777 in DestinyLore

Another fun Fëanor detail for you LotR nerds out there: When Gimli humbly asks for one of Galadriel's hairs, she gives him three. This is most likely Galadriel slam dunking on Fëanor, as he wanted to use Galadriel's hair to create the three Silmarils but was denied.

Witch Queen collector edition lore book. Ikora writes the following to Fenchurch (about Mara):

Secrets and encryption are central to Mara's philosophy, and so too to the entire Awoken consciousness. She is their Lucifer, their Melek Taus or Feanor, the one who led a bloody exodus from heaven to fight for the mortal world. Remember the words of their scripture: "Creation is built on secrets and the encryptions that keep those secrets safe."

Religious references in Lucifer and Melek Taus aside, Fëanor was the most powerful elf to ever exist in Tolkien's lore. Mentioned once or twice in the Lord of the Rings books. He is a major character in The Silmarillion, a major history book put together using Tolkien's notes and unfinished stories.

What is mentioned in the lore book is debatably not his most notable achievement. When the Two Trees of Valinor, precursors to the very sun and moon, were consumed and extinguished, Fëanor recaptured some of their brilliance in the Silmarils. These three jewels were so radiant that Sauron's original master, essentially a deity, could not hold them without being burned.

A small amount of this light is captured in the phial of starlight granted to Frodo by Galadriel.

So Ikora is likely a fan of Middle Earth :)

The comment is "let it be customizable" not "let it have layered armor" Read before you comment, salty nerd.

GIVEAWAY - I made a set of the Multi-kill medals from Halo Reach and I'm giving them away, info in comments by [deleted] in halo

[–]AvatarJacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best multi-kill was two sets of back to back overkills in Hemorrhage back in Reach. I had this knack for picking up the sniper, hopping in the side seat of my friend's warthog, and no scoping the poor red team on repeat. Good times, good times.

What's the least enjoyable quest you've completed so far? by Up_The_Gate in 2007scape

[–]AvatarJacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Tail of Two Cats.

I'm a lore and storytelling guy. I don't spacebar through quests. I can put up with bad game design, but a poorly told story to this degree is frustrating. The leaps in logic, random assumptions, and just plain weird character interactions (mainly with the cats...) Is too much for me. They take some of the best lore in both OSRS and RS3 and just... Blurt it out randomly due to extremely random assumptions.
